【In-depth study and implementation of the cultural thought of the supreme leader】

　　Author: Liu Guangming (Research Fellow, New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center, Supreme Leader of National Defense University)

　　Upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership and always upholding the Party’s cultural leadership are the fundamental political guarantee for promoting cultural prosperity, building a cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation. At the first national conference on propaganda and ideological work held after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Whether we the Communist Party of China (CPC) people can uphold the Party’s leadership, uphold and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics in an increasingly complex international and domestic environment still needs our continuous answers from generation to generation in communist party. Do a good job in ideological work and do a good job in propaganda and ideological work. " Since the new era, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has profoundly summed up the historical experience of the party’s struggle for a hundred years, creatively proposed to uphold the party’s cultural leadership and raise the party’s overall leadership over propaganda and ideological and cultural work to a new historical height. We should deeply understand the extreme importance of upholding the party’s cultural leadership, adhere to the party’s management of propaganda, ideology and media from a political and strategic perspective, and firmly hold the leadership, management and discourse power of propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the hands of the party.

　　1. Independence of sovereignty: Only by adhering to the party’s cultural leadership can the will and practical experience of the party and the people be sublimated into the ideological banner of Guanghui and point out the way forward for the great historical cause.

　　Whether a country’s sovereignty is independent or not depends on whether its political power has independent cultural sovereignty and cultural leadership. Our party has always attached importance to mastering the cultural leadership. Speaking of the root, it means mastering the cultural sovereignty that should be mastered as a Marxist ruling party, and safeguarding the sovereign independence of socialist China from the ideological and cultural level, especially the ideological level. The most important manifestation of this point is that our party has put the will to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people of China and the Chinese nation into the party’s guiding ideology, sublimated the practical experience of the party leading the people in promoting the great social revolution into the party’s guiding ideology, and guided the direction of the great cause with the party’s guiding ideology.

　　On the eve of the founding of New China, Comrade Mao Zedong put forward the policy of "starting a new stove" and "cleaning the house before inviting guests". The policy of "starting a new stove" makes it clear that the new China will not inherit the old diplomatic relations established by the Kuomintang government with other countries, but will establish new diplomatic relations with other countries on a new basis. The policy of "clean the house before inviting guests" makes it clear that the new China will first devote itself to eliminating the remnants of domestic imperialism and not rush to establish diplomatic relations with imperialist countries. "We are willing to establish diplomatic relations with all countries on the principle of equality, but the imperialists who have never been hostile to the people of China must not treat us with an equal attitude quickly. As long as they do not change their hostile attitude, we will not give the imperialist countries legal status in China for a day", so as not to affect the newly gained independence. The implementation of these two policies shows that China adheres to an independent foreign policy and ensures that our party has full leadership over the new China, including the ideological and cultural fields. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, our party has always focused on realizing the interests and aspirations of the people of China and the Chinese nation, put forward ideological views and policy propositions based on China’s own national conditions and practices, promoted the modernization of Marxism in China, and led great practice with the party’s innovative theory. The party’s innovation theory is not the original version written by Marxist classical writers.It is not a reprint of socialist theories in other countries, nor a copy of foreign modernization theories, but a new version created by the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China. Holding high the banner of the Party’s innovative theory and using it to guide China’s practice means that the people of China are truly masters of their own house, mastering their own future and destiny on the road of their own choice, neither taking the old road of being closed and rigid, nor taking the evil road of changing their flags. In sharp contrast, the Soviet Union’s subjugation of the Party and the country began in the ideological field, especially when the CPSU gave up its cultural leadership. After Gorbachev, the leader of the CPSU, took office, he first focused on the ideology and political system, accepted and implemented the "humane and democratic socialism" program with obvious westernization with the "new thinking" of "the interests and values of all mankind are above everything else", which led the CPSU to take the wrong stand of tolerating or even supporting the anti-socialist and separatist thoughts, organizations and factions in the reform process, and to have a fundamental bearing on the party, socialist system and national destiny.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "we must firmly grasp the leadership, management and discourse power of ideological work in our hands, and we must not be sidelined at any time, otherwise we will make irreparable historical mistakes". In the new era and new journey, we should take Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, as a guide, resolutely prevent the infiltration and erosion of fallacies and heresies of hostile forces, promote the further enrichment and development of Marxism in contemporary China and Marxism in the 21st century, and lead the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation to create a new situation.

　　2. About the subjectivity of culture: Only by adhering to the cultural leadership of the Party can we stick to the soul pulse of Marxism and the root pulse of Chinese excellent traditional culture and plant the cultural foundation of Chinese modernization.

　　The more national it is, the more cosmopolitan it is. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that Chinese-style modernization "shows a new picture different from the western modernization model and is a brand-new form of human civilization". Chinese-style modernization can become a new form of human civilization because the "Chinese style" of this civilized form is unique among the hundred gardens of world civilization. The cultural foundation of Chinese modernization is organically combined with the soul pulse of Marxism and the root pulse of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture are organically combined because of mutual agreement, and grow stronger because of mutual achievements, which makes the cultural foundation of Chinese modernization more distinctive, thick and solid. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is not only a firm believer and practitioner of Marxism, but also a faithful successor and promoter of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Only by upholding the party’s cultural leadership can we ensure that we always adhere to the soul of Marxism and the root of Chinese excellent traditional culture in the process of promoting Chinese modernization and protect the spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation.

　　In the historical process of creating, persisting in and expanding Chinese modernization, our party has always firmly grasped the cultural leadership and kept the origin, source, root and soul of Chinese modernization. Facing the situation that the "total westernization theory" emerges from time to time and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation is challenged, our party has always unswervingly adhered to the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, and at the same time unswervingly inherited and carried forward the excellent Chinese traditional culture, promoted the "two combinations", and built a solid road foundation, opened up innovative space and consolidated cultural subjectivity through "combination". On the one hand, activate the genes of Chinese civilization with the light of Marxist truth, promote its renewal and modern transformation, and lead the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation; On the other hand, it enriches the cultural life of Marxism with Chinese excellent traditional culture, and promotes Marxism to achieve a new leap of China modernization, showing an increasingly distinctive China style and China style. China modernization of Marxism has become the essence of Chinese culture and China spirit. It can be said that only by adhering to the party’s cultural leadership can the root of Chinese excellent traditional culture regain its brilliance, and Chinese modernization can constantly draw nutrition and wisdom from Chinese excellent traditional culture and show its charm of "Chinese style". It is precisely by upholding the party’s cultural leadership that Marxism can flourish and Chinese modernization can take Marxism as a telescope and microscope.Clear the fog of modernization and clarify the laws of modernization, so that the party and the people can grasp the historical initiative to promote socialist modernization on the land of China.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, cultural self-confidence has become a powerful spiritual driving force to realize the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation, and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation has been unprecedented. At the same time, we should also be soberly aware that hostile forces have never given up their attempt to "uproot my soul". When the strategy of mutation by "contact" fails, they will choose to use extreme pressure to promote change by pressure. We should always uphold the party’s cultural leadership, safeguard the soulful and fundamental position of Marxism as the soul pulse and the root pulse of Chinese excellent traditional culture, take a clear-cut stand against and resist all kinds of erroneous views, further promote the "two combinations", make the dialectical unity of soul pulse and root pulse reach a higher level of "harmony with reality", and make the "organically unified new cultural life" created by "combination" have stronger cohesion and leading power, so that

　　3. Initiative related to history: Only by upholding the party’s cultural leadership can we maximize the cohesion of the party’s heart, the army’s heart and the people’s hearts, and gather together the majestic forces of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

　　Our party’s mastery of cultural leadership not only has the fundamental consideration of safeguarding cultural sovereignty and the spiritual lifeline of the Chinese nation, but also has the mission pursuit of gathering strength to complete the central task and historical great cause. Engels believed that "the final result of history always comes from the conflict of many individual wills", just like "a parallelogram with countless forces, which produces a resultant force, that is, a historical result". Undoubtedly, people are the main body of creating history, but in the absence of advanced culture, people’s enthusiasm for creating history is often spontaneous and disorderly. Because everyone has a "subjective self", countless "subjective selves" collide and agitate with each other, which will lead to the dissolution of power. Only when advanced political parties master and make good use of cultural leadership can the spontaneous and disorderly forces of the people be transformed into conscious and orderly forces, and then gathered into concerted efforts. This requires our party to make good use of cultural leadership, fully gather forces from all aspects and fields, draw the greatest concentric circle, and form the greatest cohesive force.

　　In the historical process of leading and promoting the great cause of national rejuvenation, our party has always paid attention to the guiding and cohesive role of cultural leadership, led by pluralism and neutrality, sought consensus in diversity, and led the people of China to gather together to promote the great cause of history. For example, at the turn of the century, when various thoughts and cultures are stirring with each other and the cultural needs of the people are growing day by day, our party vigorously advocates all thoughts and spirits that are conducive to carrying forward patriotism, collectivism and socialism, all thoughts and spirits that are conducive to reform, opening up and modernization, all thoughts and spirits that are conducive to national unity, social progress and people’s happiness, and all thoughts and spirits that are conducive to striving for a better life through honest labor, thus giving full play to the role of advanced culture in uniting and educating the people. For another example, in the new century and new stage, when diversified social thoughts may affect and impact the mainstream socialist ideology and the ideological and political foundation of the United struggle of the party and the people, our party clearly put forward "persisting in leading social thoughts with the socialist core value system" to form a social ideological consensus to the maximum extent. For another example, in the new era of rapid development of information network and new media, our party has deeply realized that where people are, the focus of propaganda and ideological work lies. Cyberspace has become a new space for people’s production and life, and it should also become a new space for our party to build consensus. Insist on accelerating the development of media integration, strengthen positive online publicity, strengthen cyberspace governance according to law, and strengthen the construction of online content.Construct concentric circles online and offline to better unite social consensus and consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country.

　　In the new era and new journey, the negative factors that are not conducive to unity and struggle still exist, especially the hostile forces’ attempt to turn China from a piece of steel into a piece of sand through the so-called "precision strike". This puts forward new and higher requirements for us to uphold the party’s cultural leadership. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to persist in guiding people with correct public opinion, so that all work is conducive to upholding the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership and China’s socialist system, promoting reform and development, enhancing the unity of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, and maintaining social harmony and stability. We should adhere to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, thoroughly study and implement the Supreme Leader’s cultural thought, improve the credibility of news and public opinion, firmly hold the ideological and public opinion position in our own hands, turn the "variable" of the Internet into an "increment" of career development, unite all forces that can be United, mobilize all positive factors that can be mobilized, continuously consolidate and expand the mainstream ideological and public opinion in the new era, and gather the majestic forces that are United and forge ahead bravely.

　　A friend of mine bought a car last year, and his goal was the urban SUV model. The requirement was to save fuel and worry. I accompanied him to many 4S shops and finally chose Toyota Willanda. I had supper with him the other night, and I drove a Toyota Willanda for a year. He felt that the car was good in all aspects. So today I want to talk about Toyota Willanda, so let’s take a look at this car.

　　My friend bought the 2020 Verlanda 2.0L four-wheel drive technology version, and the official guide price of this car was 225,800 yuan. He bought it when it was just listed last year, so the discount was not strong. At that time, the discount price for naked cars in Wuhan was 222,700 yuan, the purchase tax was 19,198.28 yuan, the license fee was 500 yuan, the vehicle and vessel use tax was 480 yuan, and the traffic insurance was 950 yuan, so the commercial insurance was 6,416.14 yuan, so the landing cost was 2,400 yuan. Of course, this is the price he bought last year. If he buys it now, it should be a few thousand dollars cheaper, but buy the car early and enjoy it as long as you like it.

　　

　　

　　The shape of Willanda still continues the Toyota family design concept. From the head of the car, the outline is full, the lines are rounded, and the headlights are slightly sharp. The slender front grille is connected with the headlights on both sides and integrated with the logo in the middle. The lower grille is wider and adopts trapezoidal polygon style, and the lower part and the front lip of the car form a whole, extending further to both sides. The front of the car is widened visually, which has a big mouth effect and looks more visual tension.

　　

　　The side of the four-wheel drive technology version looks really technical, and the blackened roof is particularly fashionable. The wide wheel eyebrows are geometric shapes with sharp edges and corners. The shape of the hub is unique, with a five-pointed star inside and hot wheels outside. The lines on the head of the car are more rounded, the tail is angular and angular, and the sense of strength is more sufficient. 4665x1855x1680 mm in length, width and height, and 2690 mm in wheelbase, it is a compact SUV, and its parameters are in the upper-middle level compared with those of its class.

　　

　　

　　The shape of the rear of the car is simple, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, surrounded by a thick black bottom, and decorated with silver decorative strips. There are also silver horizontal decorative strips in the middle of the taillights, which makes the upper and lower parts more unified and coordinated, and the circular double-outlet exhaust pipes are full of sports style.

　　

　　

　　When I came to the interior of the car, the design of the interior was quite satisfactory. The suspended central control LCD screen had a thick frame and a slightly insufficient sense of science and technology. The upper level of the center console is rich, with a large area of leather wrap. The buttons below are arranged neatly, which actually gives a good damping feeling, and the workmanship is also exquisite, and the smell of the new car is small, and the materials used are quite particular.

　　

　　

　　The ride in the car is comfortable, and the padding inside the seat is moderate in hardness, strong in wrapping and good in support. The riding space is relatively spacious. I am 1.75 meters tall. I sit in the main driver’s seat with more than one punch in the head. I sit in the second row. I adjust the front seat to a suitable position, with two punches in my legs and four fingers in my head. Compared with other cars of the same class, I am in the upper-middle level. There are some bumps in the middle of the floor, which have some influence on the ride comfort.

　　

　　The trunk is not particularly large, but it has no problem as a daily household, with a volume of 580 liters. From the parameter point of view, it is in the upper-middle level of the same class, and the trunk is relatively regular, with good horizontal and vertical space. Usually, when you go to the supermarket for shopping, this trunk is definitely enough. When you go out to go on road trip, you can put a lot of luggage.

　　

　　In terms of power, the 2.0L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 171 HP, matching the CVT gearbox. Abundant power reserve, good linear acceleration performance, easy overtaking, quick throttle response and very flexible starting when commuting in the city. There is no feeling of frustration when CVT gearbox drives at low speed, the power output is also very smooth, the steering wheel steering is also very accurate, and the car is quite easy to drive.

　　The fuel consumption of the four-wheel drive version is higher than that of the two-wheel drive version. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 6.4L Because the car is mainly used for commuting, the road conditions are not very good when using the car at ordinary times, and there are frequent traffic jams. My friend’s car drives 12,000 kilometers a year, almost 2,000 kilometers at high speed, and the rest are running in the city. At present, the comprehensive fuel consumption is 9.8L Thanks to the technology of VVT-i intelligent variable valve timing electronic control system, the fuel consumption performance is quite satisfactory.

　　

　　McPherson independent suspension+double wishbone independent suspension, timely four-wheel drive, good vibration filtering performance of the chassis, which is more suitable for urban roads. After passing through some small gravel roads, you can hardly feel any vibration when sitting in the car, and it is quite quiet and very comfortable.

　　

　　In terms of off-road capability, the approach angle of the car is 17.8 degrees, the passing angle is 14.4 degrees, the minimum ground clearance is 170 mm, and the departure angle is 20.1 degrees. This car can handle all kinds of roads, national roads, county roads, township roads and Panshan roads, even some muddy unpaved roads, and there is not much problem. Compared with the city SUV of the same level, the passability is good, but it is really not an off-road vehicle, so don’t drive it to a bad place, you may not be able to get out of trouble.

　　Generally speaking, the product strength of Toyota Willanda is quite good, the performance of the car on the road is quite excellent, and the off-road genes are not very sufficient, that is, it is a home city SUV that is comfortable to drive and quite fuel-efficient, but don’t toss it as an off-road vehicle.

　　Legal Daily All-Media Reporter Cai Yanhong

　　There have been tens of thousands of confirmed cases and over a thousand deaths in COVID-19. Behind the cold data are the tragedies of tens of thousands of families.

　　This tragedy has brought illegal smuggling and consumption of wild animals to the forefront. Weibo, the official of South China Agricultural University, recently announced that pangolin is a potential intermediate host of novel coronavirus, and China CDC has detected a large number of novel coronavirus in Wuhan South China seafood market. The survey shows that there was illegal sale of wild animals in the seafood market before, and driven by demand and interests, illegal trafficking and smuggling of wild animals and other illegal and criminal acts have been repeatedly fought.

　　Statistics from the General Administration of Customs show that in 2019 alone, the national customs investigated 467 cases of smuggling of endangered animals and plants and their products, and seized 1,237.6 tons of endangered species and their products, including ivory and pangolin, up 2.2 times and 8.6 times respectively over the previous year. The crime of smuggling endangered species and their products is becoming more and more concealed, especially the smugglers are constantly changing their modus operandi. Smuggling in off-site areas and smuggling in hidden places are the outstanding characteristics of such cases.

　　The lure of wild animals

　　Wild animals, some people call them delicious, are also sought after for their so-called "medicinal" value. Driven by high market profits, criminals do not hesitate to take risks, poach, kill and smuggle.

　　In 2019, the national customs seized many cases of illegal smuggling of live pangolin, frozen pangolin and pangolin scales: On March 24, Jiangmen Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau seized 11 live pangolins and 2 frozen pangolins on the spot during the network-closing operation codenamed "0313" smuggling pangolins. After investigation, from 2018 to the incident, smuggling gangs smuggled more than 300 live pangolins; On October 29th, Wenzhou Customs Anti-smuggling Branch of Hangzhou Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau seized 10.65 tons of pangolin scales in ouhai district, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. After investigation, it was verified that the smuggling gang involved had smuggled 12.56 tons of pangolin scales twice since November 2018. In this case, 18 suspects were arrested and pangolin scales totaling 23.21 tons were found. It is understood that a pangolin has about 0.406 kilograms of scales and smuggled 23.21 tons of scales, which means that nearly 50,000 pangolins have been poisoned.

　　Lizards, pythons, turtles, spiders, ants … … In recent years, a trend of raising "exotic pets" has arisen, and many "crawling friends" are proud of raising endangered wild reptiles. Smugglers also saw "business opportunities" from it.

　　In January 2019, Wuxi Customs Anti-smuggling Branch and Wuxi Public Security Bureau jointly investigated the case of smuggling precious animals, and found out that the suspects Hu and Lu colluded with overseas suppliers to smuggle and import precious animals such as tortoises and American green iguanas listed in the appendix of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora by means of means of transportation, and sold them for profit, involving 56,306 precious animals, including 536 tortoises and green iguanas. This smuggling gang buys a large number of endangered live animals from overseas suppliers, transports them to transit places, and uses cars or ships to smuggle them into China and sell them at home.

　　Xiamen Customs seized a smuggling case of giant lizard last year. Since July 2019, overseas criminal suspect Ni Molun has made friends with mainland pet players through WeChat pet group for profit. Knowing that green iguanas and plains monitor lizards are endangered wild animals, he still bought them from overseas sellers, and smuggled more than 300 live monitor lizards into China in 12 batches, which were "broken into parts" by postal channels and delivered to Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanxi and other regions in batches, and sold them through WeChat or pet market.

　　On February 28, 2019, the customs officers of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, which belongs to Guangzhou Customs, found two live snails in the luggage of an African international student. The parties indicated that they were going to declare and bring two snails into the country as pets. After identification, these two living snails are African giant snails, which are quarantine pests. On July 9, the customs officers of Jinling Customs Office in the post office under Nanjing Customs found suspicious images of two postal parcels from the Philippines and Germany when inspecting them. After unpacking, 38 postal parcels were found to be 13-mdash; 17 cm live centipede. The recipient is an insect lover.

　　In 2019, Chengdu Customs seized four cases of smuggling wild animals, involving Sukada tortoises, South African flat stone scorpions, Nanyang big pocket worms and other species, with a total number of 421.

　　Wild animals or diseases

　　"Wild animals may carry pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites, causing animal diseases. If the disease is zoonotic, it will bring serious harm to personal health. " Yan Yubao, a quarantine expert at Chengdu Customs, told the reporter.

　　According to Xiamen customs quarantine experts, contact with wild animals may threaten human health. Historically, many diseases that pose a great threat to human life originally originated from animals. For example, the infection rate of Ixodes on the body surface of the monitor lizard is 88.9%, and the infection rate of parasites in the body is 100%, which can spread forest encephalitis, Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever, West Nile fever, Lyme disease, endemic relapsing fever, salmonella disease and other diseases. If it is kept as a pet, infected animals can cause human diseases directly or indirectly.

　　Wang Chunxia, an expert from the Animal and Plant Quarantine Department of Guangzhou Customs, told the reporter that most of the smuggled wild animals have not been approved for entry quarantine, nor have they been officially quarantined by the exporting countries or regions. Once diseases or pests are introduced and colonized and spread in China, they will bring great security risks to ecology and agriculture. In particular, living animals are far away from the original growth environment, locked in cages, and packed in dark and dirty containers. After months of long-distance transportation by sea, they are easy to breed diseases under stress, and it is easy to bring hidden dangers of disease transmission after smuggling into the country, posing a direct threat to national public health and safety.

　　"Smuggling endangered wild animals can easily lead to the disintegration of biogeographic isolation, and it may gradually become aggressive because there are no creatures that compete or restrict it in the new environment. Once it is colonized in China, it will expand greatly, breaking the local ecological balance and seriously destroying biodiversity." Wang Chunxia said.

　　In addition, it will also cause the exhaustion of biological resources. According to the Red List of Endangered Species updated by IUCN IUCN)2018, there are 26,840 endangered species. The wild population of Chinese pangolin tended to be exhausted as early as the 1980s. In order to protect pangolins, in September 2016, CITES upgraded all eight species of pangolins in the world to Appendix I, and banned pangolins trade on a global scale.

　　"In fact, pangolin scales are made of keratin, which is no different from human hair and nails. Pangolin meat carries a lot of parasites and viruses." Cai Jixiong, deputy director of Jiangmen Customs Regulations Department, said.

　　Cut off smuggling channels

　　All along, the national customs has always cracked down on the smuggling of endangered species and their products with a "zero tolerance" attitude, which has curbed the smuggling of endangered species and their products to some extent. However, smugglers are constantly changing their modus operandi in an attempt to evade customs supervision.

　　"Most of these cases are smuggled and hidden in non-customs places, which is more harmful. Most pangolin cases seized by the customs are smuggled in this way." Li Ming, director of the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Jiangmen Customs, said when talking about the characteristics of smuggling cases of endangered species and their products.

　　In addition, the smuggling of endangered species and their products through the express mail channel can not be ignored, and the smuggling crime is becoming more and more hidden, and the means are constantly changing. In particular, the Internet has improved the convenience of smuggling crimes, making it more difficult to smuggle. Criminals often use the Internet to conduct transactions and then enter and leave the country through the express mail channel.

　　Recently, in order to resolutely ban and severely crack down on illegal wildlife trading during the COVID-19 epidemic, the General Administration of Market Supervision, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the General Administration of Customs and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration jointly issued a notice to jointly carry out special law enforcement actions against illegal wildlife trading.

　　At present, in combating the smuggling of endangered species and their products, the customs has implemented comprehensive, multi-channel and three-dimensional regulatory crackdown and comprehensive management. Strengthen positive supervision, intensify the crackdown on acts such as hiding, false reporting and concealment, and implement 100% machine inspection on goods from key countries and regions, inbound and outbound luggage and postal express mail from key countries and routes; All luggage, mail and express mail containing suspected endangered species and their products shall be unpacked and thoroughly investigated; 100% machine inspection of luggage and articles of transport service personnel, strict safety control, and cut off smuggling channels.

　　In view of the behavior of passengers carrying or mailing endangered species and their products from abroad, the customs takes measures to punish them within the scope stipulated by laws and regulations, and puts forward the principle of "five unifications". That is, whoever transports, carries or mails endangered species products into or out of the country in violation of laws, regulations and relevant regulations shall be investigated for criminal or administrative responsibility according to law; Anyone who evades customs supervision, transports, carries or mails endangered species and their products into or out of the country shall be treated as smuggling; Those who constitute a crime shall be transferred to judicial organs for criminal responsibility; Smuggling endangered species and their products that are not investigated for criminal responsibility according to law shall be fined in addition to the confiscation of products; Those who have been punished by administrative punishment for similar acts again will be punished within the scope of punishment.

　　The reporter learned from the press conference held by the Ministry of Education today (2nd) that with the rising international status of Chinese, Chinese has officially become the official language of the United Nations World Tourism Organization since 2021.

　　The number of people studying Chinese abroad exceeds 20 million.

　　According to reports, by the end of 2020, more than 180 countries and regions around the world have carried out Chinese education, more than 70 countries have incorporated Chinese into the national education system, and the number of people studying Chinese abroad has exceeded 20 million.

　　Online Chinese education is booming. The "Chinese Alliance" cloud service teaching platform provides more than 190 online courses on Chinese and Chinese culture for free around the world, benefiting more than 2 million overseas Chinese learners.

　　In 2020, the global Chinese learning platform will develop and launch mobile phone software such as "translating Chinese", "knowing Chinese" and "learning Chinese for young children", and add channels from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to supplement targeted learning resources. By the end of 2020, the platform had accumulated more than 2.1 million users, covering nearly 170 countries and regions. (CCTV reporter Pan Hongxu Wang Youwen)

CCTV News:Since June, precipitation in some areas of Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and other places is less, and local drought is more serious. During the peak irrigation period, Liujiaxia and other key reservoirs of the Yellow River strengthen water regulation to ensure the safety of domestic water and agricultural water.

　　The destocking of channels dragged down the performance of Dong ‘e Ejiao, and how did the inventory of channels accumulate?

　　The performance of Dong ‘e Ejiao (000423.SZ) in the interim report dropped by nearly 80%, which made the capital market unexpected. After a word limit on July 15 and a 5.59% drop on July 16, the stock price once fell more than 2% in intraday trading this morning (July 17). Dong ‘e Ejiao, which has long been advertised by the market as one of the white horse stocks, why did it develop so far?

　　The First Financial Reporter noticed that Dong ‘e Ejiao responded to the challenges faced by the company in the newly disclosed record of investor relations activities on the interactive platform of Shenzhen Stock Exchange. "The channel originally relied on hoarding goods to make profits. All channel providers are profitable when we raise prices, because the shelf life of Ejiao is 5 years. If dealers hoard goods, the difference will be relatively large. Now the channel has changed, from relying on stocking to relying on turnover rate. We have adjusted the inventory reduction in line with the channel changes, which has brought short-term fluctuations in sales performance and is also the main reason for this decline in performance. " Dong’ e Ejiao said this.

　　Dong ‘e Ejiao’s interim report performance forecast shows that the company expects the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies to decrease by 75% to 79% in the first half of this year compared with the same period of last year. This decline will be the largest in the interim report since the company went public in 1996. In the notice, the company said that due to the overall macro-environment and other factors, and the market’s expectation of the return of Ejiao value gradually decreased, the company’s downstream traditional customers took the initiative to reduce inventory, resulting in a year-on-year decline in product sales in the first half of the year.

　　Recently, the first financial reporter also learned in the interview that the channel is keen on hoarding goods, which is also inseparable from the frequent price increase of Dong ‘e Ejiao. Frequent price increases have become a lingering brand left by Dong ‘e Ejiao.

　　According to the First Financial Reporter, during the nine years from 2010 to 2018, Dong ‘e Ejiao raised the ex-factory price of Ejiao, the company’s main product, for a total of 11 times. Among them, in 2010 and 2014, the company raised the price three times in one year. Since 2015, the frequency of the company’s price increase has slowed down to once a year, and it is concentrated in November of that year, which is just the peak season for Ejiao sales.

　　Some people in the industry also told the First Financial Reporter that the price increase rhythm like Dong ‘e Ejiao has given the channel expectations over time. Therefore, whenever it is premonition that manufacturers are going to raise prices, the channel will stock up in advance. In view of Dong ‘e Ejiao’s own brand effect, the channel also believes that the company’s products are not worried about selling.

　　Now, looking back, the frequent price increase of Dong ‘e Ejiao has many disadvantages. Here, how does Dong ‘e Ejiao reverse the situation?

　　"In recent years, the company’s brand, quality and scientific research have gradually strengthened, and the pure sales of terminals are growing, and the growth rate exceeds the market average. The main problem now is that we take the initiative to reduce inventory. In the future, we will launch pulling measures around consumers, and this year’s strategy will be adjusted accordingly. " Dong ‘e Ejiao mentioned in the above-mentioned investor relations activity record.

　　Dong ‘e Ejiao said that in combination with the changes in the external environment and the trend of channel customers to improve efficiency and reduce costs, since last year, the company has started from the needs of channel customers and its own development needs, reduced inventory and returned to benign, canceled some secondary commercial customers, flattened channels, and strengthened channel layout in pharmaceutical commerce and retail chain. In terms of traditional channels, in the past, the company’s key channels were retail pharmacies, including customers with leading positions in the industry, such as ordinary people, Yifeng and Guoda Pharmacy. Last year, on the basis of the original, the company began to strengthen cooperation with regional leading chains and top 100 chains. This year, it laid out the market development of thousands of counties and expanded to the grassroots market. At the same time, we are also developing channels for medical terminals, including grade hospitals and primary hospitals.

　　How will the stock price go?

　　The First Financial Reporter also noticed that Dong ‘e Ejiao’s record of investor relations activities was mainly based on the investigation of institutional investors such as CICC on July 15th.

　　It is worth mentioning that on July 16, CICC also published a research report on "Dong ‘e Ejiao promotes channel sorting throughout the year and short-term performance is under pressure". In this research report, CICC downgraded Dong ‘e Ejiao to "neutral" and lowered its target price by 32.4% to 33.8 yuan. CICC said that the expected price increase of Dong ‘e Ejiao was reduced, and the pressure on channel inventory began to be released. The value regression strategy of Dong ‘e Ejiao’s core products has been going on for many years, and the channel has formed a certain inertia of stocking. However, at present, with the decrease of the company’s price increase expectation, the channel’s willingness to stock has declined, and the inventory pressure has begun to be released.

　　"The market believes that the company’s long-term strategy is unclear, but we believe that the company has brand potential and is expected to achieve benign development through the development of new products, new channels and new people in the future. However, at present, the company is facing the dilemma of actively adjusting channels, and its operating income and adjustment time are still unpredictable. " CICC also said so.

　　Looking back at the trend of Dong ‘e Ejiao’s share price, during the past thirteen years from November 2005 to June 2017, the company’s share price has increased more than 10 times after its restoration. It is precisely because of Dong ‘e Ejiao’s stable share price and stable performance that the organization is keen on heavy positions. According to the straight flush data, as of the end of the first quarter of this year, among Dong ‘e Ejiao’s shareholders, the total institutional shareholding ratio is still as high as 51.03%.

　　Nowadays, under the slump in performance, how will Dong ‘e Ejiao’s share price be interpreted?

　　After Dong ‘e Ejiao’s share price fell to the limit on July 15th, from the list of trading companies’ stocks on that day, we can see that there are no institutions in the top five with the largest selling amount. On the contrary, among the top five with the largest purchase amount, one institution-specific seat appeared, and the purchase amount of that day was 3,623,500 yuan.

　　Some private investors also told the first financial reporter that the company is in a period of gradual release of bad news and the stock price needs to be repaired. On the whole, Dong ‘e Ejiao products still have brand value and vitality, but the driving force for the subsequent company’s rise depends on the performance of new products and the promotion of new channels.

　　Supreme Leader: We should continue to focus on infrastructure interconnection. It is necessary to deepen cooperation in frontier areas such as intelligent manufacturing and digital economy and implement an innovation-driven development strategy. It is necessary to expand market opening, improve the degree of trade and investment facilitation, and achieve a smooth flow of things. It is necessary to build a diversified financing system and a multi-level capital market. It is necessary to carry out extensive cultural exchanges with rich content and various forms, and implement more people’s livelihood cooperation projects. In short, we should build all-round interconnection and promote the comprehensive effects of infrastructure leading, industrial agglomeration, economic development and improvement of people’s livelihood.

　　This passage comes from the opening speech of the Supreme Leader at the Roundtable Summit of the Second Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit Forum on April 27, 2019.

　　China proposed the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, aiming at inheriting the spirit of the Silk Road, adhering to the principle of cooperation, openness, green, honesty and cooperation, and working with other countries to create an open cooperation platform to achieve high standards, benefit people’s livelihood and sustainability.

　　Human beings are a community of destiny in the same boat. Since the "One Belt, One Road" initiative was put forward, policy communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade, financial intermediation and popular support have been further promoted, and many countries have participated in it, building an all-round and compound partnership, which has promoted regional economic and social development cooperation on a larger scale, at a higher level and at a deeper level, provided new impetus for the cooperative development of all countries, helped relevant countries achieve their development goals better, and opened up new space for global development.

　　Financing is an important support for the construction of the "Belt and Road". With the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we will build a new open economic system at a higher level, create a more attractive business environment, and build the "Belt and Road" with more measures and high quality.

　　Focusing on strengthening support, it is necessary to further expand the participants in investment and financing, develop diversified financing methods, open up financing channels, innovate investment and financing models, build diversified financing systems and multi-level capital markets, and better promote the construction of the "Belt and Road" service in the capital market, so as to make it stable and far-reaching, and bring more benefits to the community of human destiny.
