Kanu strikes again six years later: What are the doorways for naming typhoons?

  This year’s No.6 typhoon "Kanu" is approaching the east China coast.

  "This is ‘ Kanu ’ This typhoon name was used for the fourth time. " Experts from Zhejiang Meteorological Department told The Paper on July 31st that the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) decided to adopt a unified naming system for tropical cyclones (typhoons) in the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea from 2000, and 10 names were put forward by 14 countries and regions concerned, including Chinese mainland, Cambodia and Japan, with a total of 140 names for recycling.

  According to reports, there are corresponding specifications for typhoon naming, such as pinyin is no more than 9 letters, Chinese names are composed of 2-3 Chinese characters, names should be easy to spread by the media, without inappropriate meanings, and commercial brands cannot be used. The 10 typhoon names provided by Chinese mainland include anemone, ginkgo, Fengshen, cuckoo, Mulan, Wukong and so on.

  "Kanu" is a typhoon name provided by Thailand, which means jackfruit. It has been used three times. In 2005, the 15th typhoon "Kanu" attacked Zhejiang directly and landed on Luqiao on September 11th, causing serious disasters. The No.7 tropical storm "Kanu" in 2012 landed on the southern coast of Jeju Island in South Korea on July 18th. In 2017, the No.20 strong typhoon "Kanu" landed on Luzon Island in the Philippines in mid-October, moved into the South China Sea, and landed in Xuwen, Guangdong with a strong tropical storm.

  "There are always 140 names on the naming list, but there are updates — — If the typhoon causes particularly serious disasters or casualties, the name will be changed, such as super typhoon ‘ Sang Mei ’ ‘ Mangosteen ’ Wait, a new name will be submitted by the country or region that provided the name. " Meteorologists told The Paper that there are generally twenty or thirty typhoons a year, and 140 names are recycled once every five or six years. This year, the name of Typhoon No.5 "Du Surui" has been used for the third time, which is provided by South Korea and refers to a bird of prey.

  "Kanu" was formed in the east of the Philippines and strengthened to typhoon level on the 30th. At 17: 00 on the 30th, its center is located on the ocean surface about 850km southeast of Naha, Ryukyu Islands. It is expected to move to the north-west at a speed of 20km per hour, and then move to the northwest on the 31st, with the intensity gradually increasing, and the strongest typhoon can reach strong typhoon level or super typhoon level (50-55m/s, 15-16). On August 1st, it will move into the East China Sea and approach the east China coast.

Is it reasonable to set the service life of the credit points? Reporters investigate things like consumption points.

  Investigation motive

  Recently, some readers called for advice: Your mobile phone credit has expired. Is it reasonable to set the service life of the credit? It is understood that more than 10,000 points of this reader have expired. Before the expiration, the telecom operator had a SMS notification. He felt that there was no suitable redemption gift after inquiring, and then he forgot about it. Recently, he found that the points had expired.

  In order to attract customers and increase consumers’ stickiness to products, in recent years, many enterprises and businesses have introduced the point system, that is, giving away a certain amount of money and rewarding the corresponding points, and accumulating a certain amount of points can be exchanged for gifts and deducted some consumption amounts. Many people usually use points for eating, drinking and having fun.

  Then, in addition to setting the service life of the integral, what other issues will be involved in the integral? How should consumers solve these problems? To this end, the reporter conducted an investigation and interview.

  □ Our trainee reporter Zhang Shoukun

  □ Our reporter Zhou Bin

  "You have ×× points that will expire at the end of this month. Please hurry to redeem … …”

  Not long ago, Yin Hang, who lives in Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, received a reminder from the telecom operator to exchange phone bill points. So, he opened the "integral mall" in the App and exchanged the points for two bags of laundry detergent and several tens of yuan. But there are still a few points, and there are no suitable goods to exchange. After consulting customer service, I was told that it would expire after not using it, and it could not be accumulated to the next cycle.

  "These points are all my usual consumption income, which originally belonged to me. Why do merchants have to set the use period, and he said that it will expire when it expires?" Yin Hang expressed his incomprehension.

  The reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" recently learned in an interview that in addition to doubts about "whether the use period of points is reasonable", many consumers expressed dissatisfaction with some problems such as not reminding before the expiration of points, "being expired" and difficulty in redemption.

  Integral is widely used in business.

  Merchants can set a service life.

  At present, many businesses use membership system to attract consumers, and consumption means giving away and rewarding points. From the use of telephone bills to credit card consumption, from online shopping to travel ticket purchase, the points system has involved all aspects of people’s economic life.

  The two children of Li Ting (a pseudonym) in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province have been drinking a certain brand of milk powder since childhood. Every time they buy milk powder and other commodities, the online mall will give her a bonus. In June of this year, when she logged into the mall and prepared to exchange points for gifts, she found that more than 10,000 points had expired.

  "I didn’t know that there was an expiration before. Usually, SMS pushes a bunch, and the points expire quietly." Li Ting told the reporter that after reporting to the customer service, she learned that when the points expired, they could only expire, and there was no remedy. "Before the expiration, the merchants didn’t remind me, and the points were originally obtained by spending money to buy goods. Why did they let the merchants set a time limit?"?

  During the interview, many consumers raised similar questions: What is the integral? Can the merchant set the use period?

  According to Shi Jiayou, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, executive director of the Civil and Commercial Law Science Research Center, and Ren Chao, a professor at the School of Economics and Law of East China University of Political Science and Law, points have property attributes and belong to consumers.

  Shi Jiayou said that the points system is a means of promotion for merchants, and it is a unilateral gift for merchants. If the trading conditions are set, it may constitute a contract, and the points are converted into commitments of merchants, which are binding on them. According to the general principles of the Civil Code and the Contract Law, merchants should fulfill their commitments.

  "The legal attributes of points are not clearly defined in law, but are agreed by the points issuer and the user’s autonomy. ‘ Points can be exchanged for goods ’ It is the merchant’s commitment to consumers, which makes the points have certain value attributes within the corresponding scope, and to a certain extent belongs to the virtual property of consumers. " Ren Chao said.

  Regarding the question of whether the merchants can set the use period, the interviewed experts all think that the setting period is reasonable and legal.

  Sun Jianrong, a senior partner of Beijing Deheng (Suzhou) Law Firm, said that the common promotion measures of "giving points for consumption" are gifts in legal nature. When consumers reach the pre-set consumption conditions of merchants, merchants give their property rights to consumers in the form of points, and consumers accept them, and both parties reach a gift contract.

  "Merchants can set a valid period for the redemption of points. According to Article 160 of the Civil Code, merchants can attach a termination period when giving points. When the period expires, the gift will be invalid." Sun Jianrong analyzed, but in the setting of the effective period, merchants should give full consideration to ensuring that consumers can use the points normally and avoid infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

  Huang Hajime Taki, a doctor of law and a teacher of Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, believes that the point expiration system set by merchants can be regarded as a standard contract, and the contents in it are standard clauses. According to the voluntary principle in Article 5 of the Civil Code and the relevant provisions in Article 465, this standard contract is effective, and merchants can specify the content of the points due and how to deal with the expired points.

  Set a reasonable service life

  In case of force majeure, it shall be extended.

  The reporter learned in the interview that the situation of expired points is everywhere. Many consumers have suggested that it is not because they don’t want to use it, but because of reasons such as "the merchant has no overdue reminder", "the set use period is too short" and "the impact of the epidemic". In this case, it is unreasonable for the points to expire without compensation.

  Li Rui from Guangdong told reporters that in June this year, when he opened an online mall, he found that his more than 30,000 points suddenly lost more than 10,000 points. Only after calling the customer service did he know that the more than 10,000 points had expired. "The merchant has never explicitly told me that the points will expire before. I can only see the total number of points in the mall interface. There is no information about the validity or expiration of points, and there is no phone call or SMS reminder."

  "This more than 10,000 points is worth more than 100 yuan. I reflected this situation to the customer service, but the customer service thought it was my problem and did not pay attention to the usage period of the points in time. " Li Rui said angrily, reminding and informing is the obligation of merchants. Why should consumers bear the loss?

  "The validity period of the points constitutes the content of the gift contract and belongs to the format text. Therefore, the merchant should give a significant prompt and explanation to the consumer at the time of the first gift and obtain the consent of the consumer. If it is not informed in advance or changed at will later, it is an infringement of consumers’ right to know. " Sun Jianrong said.

  According to Huang Hajime Taki, according to the Civil Code, if the terms are related to consumers’ interests, including the use period of points, consumers should be informed or reminded in a significant way to ensure that consumers are fully informed when spending. If the merchant fails to fulfill the obligation of prompting and informing, resulting in consumers not paying attention to the above terms, consumers can claim that the above terms are not established and are not legally binding on consumers.

  Recently, Ms. Lin of Shanghai is also engaged in a tug-of-war with merchants for the expired points. She used to visit a doll shop of a certain brand, and every time she spent money, she got a point included in her membership card. Due to the epidemic situation in Shanghai some time ago, and the merchants stipulated that the validity period of points was only 3 months, a large number of points expired. Ms. Lin repeatedly reported to the customer service and complained many times, but she still failed to get the points extension or compensation.

  In this regard, Shi Jiayou said that according to business practice, merchants have the right to set the use period for points, but they should set a reasonable period, such as airline mileage points. Most consumers will not fly frequently, and it may take two or three years to reach the minimum requirement for redeeming mileage. Then the use period of points should be set at least two years.

  "Starting from protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, merchants should give a prompt one month before the points expire. In case of force majeure such as epidemic situation, the service period of points should be extended. " Shi Jiayou said that there are no technical obstacles for businesses to do so, and it is also the proper meaning for them to fulfill their social responsibilities according to law.

  In addition, in reality, there are cases where the points are "expired" and "reduced" due to non-consumer personal reasons such as merchant system upgrade, system error and unclear rules.

  On March 13th this year, Ms. Zhao from Hexi District of Tianjin bought herself a birthday present in an online shopping mall, and spent a total of 430 yuan. According to the online shopping mall integral rules, you can get double points for spending on your birthday, that is, 860 points. But a few days later, Zhao Nvshi only received 430 points when he went offline to pick up the goods. The customer service said that the day of picking up the goods was not a birthday, so it was impossible to double the points. This explanation is beyond Zhao Nvshi’s comprehension.

  Many consumers from Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu and other places spoke in an interview with reporters, saying that sometimes the reason why they choose a certain brand for similar products is that they take a fancy to their points and redemption of points, and they have worked hard to save points. Now, if the points expire, they will expire, and if they decrease, their own rights and interests will be reduced. This dishonest behavior of merchants should be condemned.

  Points redemption hidden routine

  Collecting evidence and safeguarding rights according to law

  In addition to the service life, it is not easy to exchange points for ideal goods.

  Ms. Liu from Fengtai District, Beijing, exchanged points for a gift certificate from 20 yuan in an online mall and found that the gift certificate was not supported in her area. On the redemption page, there is no indication of which areas can be used, and there is no warning that "once redeemed, it cannot be returned".

  "The gift coupons that have been redeemed can neither be placed nor returned, which is equivalent to wasting a lot of points in vain. Obviously, it is a dumb loss for consumers." Ms. Liu said.

  What bothers Gala from Chuzhou, Anhui Province is not that he doesn’t have points, but that he can’t use them. He has used credit cards for many years and has a large number of convertible points, but the goods he wants to exchange have been out of stock. There are also some goods, which are often robbed in an instant when the merchants set up a rush. Gala told the reporter that he had reflected this problem to the customer service many times, and the other party invariably said: The goods will be updated irregularly.

  There are also many consumers complaining to reporters that there are fewer and fewer cases of simply exchanging points for goods, and there are more and more forms of "points+cash" for goods. Do you doubt whether the points really offset some of the amount?

  According to public reports, in March this year, Ms. Yang, a consumer in Xinyang City, Henan Province, reported that she bought a 1kg bottle of laundry detergent through integral mall, and the page showed that she needed to pay 683 points +24.17 yuan in cash. In the online self-operated store of the laundry detergent, it only costs 23.8 yuan to buy the same product, and the price after using the points is even more expensive than the normal purchase price.

  Regarding the problems existing in the points system, Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association, said that this is because some merchants’ points rules are not open and transparent enough, and the rules are not clear enough, and all disputes are caused by the merchants’ final say. In addition, it is also related to the complexity of some points acquisition and redemption processes, and some merchants even deliberately set additional conditions, which led some consumers to simply give up their rights and interests.

  How to further standardize the integral system?

  Ren Chao believes that merchants should make reasonable judgments on expired points according to different situations. After the merchant informs and the consumer knows or should know the due clearing rule, if the consumer misses the integral activity only for his own reasons, the merchant may not postpone or compensate; However, if the points cannot be used due to the reasons of the merchants or objective factors that are not attributable to the consumers themselves, the merchants shall provide the points extension and compensation services.

  Chen Yinjiang suggested that when formulating the points rules, merchants should be fair and reasonable, taking into account the interests of both parties, and should not set the exchange threshold too high, especially not set some unfair and unreasonable format clauses that restrict exchange and harm the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. In addition to informing consumers in advance of the points rules and reminding them before the expiration, merchants should also unblock the after-sales service channels to facilitate consumers to negotiate and solve problems in time.

  "Consumers should also raise their awareness of self-protection and not blindly consume for points. Before using the consumption points, you should carefully read the points rules formulated by the merchants. If you encounter problems with damaged rights and interests, you should collect relevant evidence in time and defend your rights according to law. " Chen Yinjiang said.

  In Ren Chao’s view, because merchants or e-commerce platforms have a stronger trading position than consumers, in fact, consumers do not have much bargaining space for the points system, and they either accept or choose to leave. It can even be said that the acceptance and consent of some consumers is also a kind of "passive" consent. Therefore, reporting the points to the platform customer service may have little effect. If consumers feel that their rights and interests are damaged, it is recommended to report to consumer rights protection organizations and defend their rights according to law.

  "If there is a problem with the goods redeemed by consumers with points, the Consumer Protection Law, the Product Quality Law and the relevant Three Guarantees Regulations can also be applied, and consumers can claim their rights and interests according to the normal purchase of goods or services. In other words, if there are quality problems in the products redeemed by points, the merchants can also be required to fulfill the policies of warranty, replacement and refund according to law. " Chen Yinjiang said.

India has been hit by severe floods, and Brahmins would rather die than be rescued by Christian fishermen.

[Observer Network Comprehensive Report] Kerala, India, suffered a "once in a hundred years" flood. Since the end of May and the beginning of June, the number of victims has exceeded 300, and tens of thousands of people have been displaced.

In the face of this cruel flood, a group of fishermen spontaneously joined the rescue team. Although most people welcomed the fishermen heroically, some people exposed the discrimination between caste and religion.

According to a report by CNN on the 21st, these fishermen loaded their boats on trucks and went to towns and villages in Kerala with a water depth of more than 3m to rescue people who climbed tall buildings and waited for help.

Marion George, a 47-year-old fisherman, participated in the rescue in Quilon last Friday, and 17 people in one family were trapped.

When he told the family that he had come to help them, the other party asked his religious belief, "Isn’t this a Christian ship?"

After George identified himself as a Christian, the family from Brahman, the highest caste in Hinduism, refused to board the boat.. According to the report,Although they were desperate in the face of the flood, they waved to George to leave and refused to go near him.

Five hours later, George returned to the block and saw the family calling for help just now.

When he docked the boat to prepare for rescue, the group told him again,Only when George doesn’t have physical contact with them, do they want to get on the boat.

Christian fisherman George from CNN

Usually, that’s their attitude, and we thought they would change in this case., "said George.

According to George’s estimation, he rescued 150 people in two days until his ship was damaged beyond rescue.

CNN interviewed several other fishermen who participated in the rescue. They also said that when they wanted to help, some victims insulted them or didn’t trust them at all.

Fisherman Arun Michael saw the disaster on the news last Wednesday, and the next morning he took his boat with three others to the disaster area. They evacuated more than 1,500 people in three days.

Fisherman Michael and his daughter from CNN

Among them, some victims asked them to bring their dogs on board first, and then go up by themselves. Others refused to leave their homes. "They are arrogant and just want us to give them food."

Others refused to help because they were worried that their property would be looted after leaving home.

Despite this, Michael insisted on saving people. "Anyone may encounter a flood. If something happens in the future, we hope we can get help."

According to the Kerala government,More than 2,800 fishermen participated in the rescue work. The government has announced that it will pay each fisherman 3,000 rupees (about 294 yuan) as compensation for the damage of his ship.

  4. Pilot first and advance in an orderly manner. Scientifically formulate urban renewal plans, highlight key points, make overall arrangements and make steady progress. Focus on bottlenecks, boldly reform and innovate, actively explore new modes and paths of urban renewal, and form mature experiences and gradually promote them.

  Second, strengthen planning guidance

  (1) Circle guidance

  The core functional area of the capital is mainly protected and updated, while the central urban area is mainly reduced in quantity and upgraded in quality. Sub-centers of cities and new towns in plain areas undertake the functions of the central urban area in combination with urban renewal, and ecological conservation areas moderately undertake urban functions that are compatible with green ecological development in combination with urban renewal.

  (2) Block guidance

  Urban renewal is carried out in blocks, and the comprehensive implementation plan and the implementation plan of renewal projects are scientifically compiled according to the detailed regulatory planning of blocks. Carry out comprehensive evaluation of blocks, find and analyze the problems existing in urban functions, supporting facilities and spatial quality of blocks, sort out spatial resources and determine the renewal tasks. Match the space resources with the updating tasks, change the one-off indicators into dynamic on-demand allocation, and intensively use the space resources. Revitalize the existing buildings in the block, focus on old residential areas, old bungalows, old industrial areas, old commercial areas, old buildings and certain deep areas on both sides of important streets, and encourage property owners to update independently and social forces to participate in the update through the status quo ownership check and positive and negative list guidance. Taking the space such as home center and community meeting room as the carrier, this paper explores the composite utilization mode of municipal infrastructure, public service facilities and public safety facilities, and improves the convenience and comfort of residents’ lives and the quality of public space around the needs of "seven haves" and "five natures".

  Third, the main update methods

  (A) the transformation of old residential areas

  Implement comprehensive renovation of old residential areas, and supplement public service facilities such as convenient commerce and old-age care services with existing houses and public spaces according to residents’ wishes; You can use open space, illegal land for vacating, etc. to increase parking spaces, or set up convenient facilities such as mechanical parking facilities. Encourage the installation of elevators in old residential buildings.

  (2) Reconstruction of dilapidated buildings

  The dilapidated buildings identified by the housing administrative department are allowed to be rebuilt through renovation, reconstruction or appropriate expansion. If conditions permit, the scale of the building can be appropriately increased, complete renovation or convenience service facilities can be implemented. Encourage social capital to participate in the transformation, and the funds will be raised by the government, property units, residents and social institutions. Houses vacated by residents after resettlement in different places or monetary resettlement can be used as affordable housing such as rental houses.

  (3) Renovation of old factory buildings

  Clarify the access standards for the transformation and utilization of old factories, and give priority to the development of industries such as intelligent manufacturing, technological innovation and culture on the premise of meeting the planning. Encourage the use of old factories to develop new infrastructure, modern service industries and other industrial formats supported by the state and the city; Encourage the use of old factories to supplement public service facilities. Encourage old industrial plants to implement planning through renovation or land replacement, and increase facilities such as roads, green spaces, squares and emergency shelters. Old factories within the Fifth Ring Road and the sub-center of the city can fill the shortcomings of the city and introduce industrial projects that meet the requirements according to the planning and actual needs; Old factories in other areas outside the Fifth Ring Road are used to develop high-end manufacturing in principle.

  (D) Renewal of old buildings

  Encourage old buildings such as old office buildings and old commercial facilities to upgrade, adjust their functions, enhance their vitality and develop new formats. Allow old buildings to add fire stairs, elevators and other facilities, allowing mixed building functions and compatible uses; Encourage the comprehensive utilization of qualified underground space.

  (V) Renovation of bungalows (courtyards) in the functional core area of the capital.

  Under the premise of complying with the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Protection of Historical and Cultural Cities in Beijing, the requirements for the protection of historical blocks and related technologies and standards, the bungalows (courtyards) in the functional core area of the capital will be applied for rent withdrawal, rent change, protective repair and restoration, so as to build a symbiotic courtyard, eliminate potential safety hazards, protect traditional styles and improve living conditions. Vacant space is given priority to ensuring the functions of central government affairs, serving central units and improving regional public service facilities. At the same time, encourage vacating space for traditional cultural display, experience and special services, build creative space or develop rental housing.

  (6) Other types

  Encourage the transformation and upgrading of urban public space, improve municipal infrastructure, public service facilities and public safety facilities, and optimize and upgrade urban functions. Encourage the construction of characteristic blocks, ecological blocks and smart blocks to create a safe, intelligent, green and low-carbon living environment.

Support the renovation of industrial parks, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, and build a sophisticated industrial structure. Promote urban renewal and rectification, promote the effective connection of special actions for promotion, and rationally use the space for evacuation. Accelerate the finishing work of the transformation of urban shanty towns.

  Fourth, organize the implementation

  (A) to determine the implementation of the main body

  If the property right of the urban renewal project is clear, the property right unit can be used as the main body of implementation, or a professional institution can be entrusted as the main body of implementation by means of agreement and investment (shareholding); If the property right relationship is complex, the district government (including the Administrative Committee of Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, the same below) shall determine the implementation subject according to law. To determine the subject of implementation, we should fully consult the opinions of relevant rights holders or residents, so as to be open, fair and just.

  (two) the preparation of the implementation plan

  On the basis of thorough investigation, the implementer should prepare and update the project implementation plan and solicit the opinions of relevant rights holders or residents. The plan should specify the scope, content, method, building scale, use function, construction plan, land acquisition method, fund raising method, operation and management mode, etc. Responsible planners and architects should participate in the whole process of urban renewal, strengthen business guidance, do a good job in technical services, and issue written opinions on the implementation plan.

  (3) Review decisions

  The implementation plan of the updated project shall be reviewed by the relevant industry authorities in the district and implemented with the consent of the district government. If the implementation of key areas or important projects involves major issues in the capital planning, it is necessary to report to the CPC Central Committee in accordance with relevant requirements and procedures.

  (4) formalities

  In principle, the relevant examination and approval procedures for urban renewal shall be handled by the district administrative department, and the district governments shall further simplify the examination and approval procedures, shorten the examination and approval time and improve the examination and approval efficiency in combination with relevant policies to optimize the business environment.

Deeply grasp the scientific connotation and practical requirements of the concept of "two mountains"

  Author: Qin and Han Dynasties (special researcher of Beijing Supreme Leader New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center, associate professor of China Institute of Language and Literature, university of international business and economics)

  On August 15th, China ushered in the first National Ecological Day. This groundbreaking and symbolic anniversary embodies the important position of ecological civilization construction in the new era and the determination to comprehensively promote the construction of beautiful China.

  At the recent national conference on ecological environmental protection, the Supreme Leader stressed that the next five years will be an important period for the construction of beautiful China. We should thoroughly implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s ecological civilization thought in the new era, persist in taking people as the center, firmly establish and practice Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept, put the construction of beautiful China in a prominent position in the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation, promote the obvious improvement of urban and rural living environment, achieve remarkable results in the construction of beautiful China, support high-quality development with high-quality ecological environment, and accelerate the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought profoundly reveals the objective law of harmonious development between man and nature and comprehensively promotes the construction of ecological civilization, which provides us with a powerful ideological force to build the ecological foundation of Chinese modernization.

  People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak will live up to people. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, China’s ecological civilization construction has made remarkable achievements. China has achieved the goal of zero growth of global degraded land by 2030 put forward by the United Nations ahead of schedule, and achieved the goal of reducing carbon emissions by 40%~45% in 2020 compared with 2005 ahead of schedule; Under the guidance of the idea of "jointly protecting and not developing", the Yangtze River Economic Belt has achieved green development with ecological priority. The Mu Us Desert has changed from a "barren land" to an "oasis", making the surrounding villages embark on the road of green poverty alleviation; The first batch of national parks have been formally established, and the protection of biodiversity has been continuously strengthened … … All localities and departments have fully implemented the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", continuously intensified pollution control, solidly carried out ecological protection and restoration, constantly broadened the path of transforming green mountains and green hills into Jinshan Yinshan, and jointly promoted high-level protection and high-quality development, scientifically, reasonably and effectively transformed ecological values into economic development momentum, and continuously opened up new beautiful ecological spaces for future generations.

  Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s idea must be firmly established and practiced, and development should be planned at the height of harmonious coexistence between man and nature". As an important part of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, the concept of "two mountains" is the fundamental follow-up and action guide for us to do a good job in ecological civilization construction. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader’s important thesis on "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" profoundly reveals the dialectical unity and complementary relationship between development and protection, that is, protecting the ecological environment means protecting the productive forces, and improving the ecological environment means developing the productive forces. On the one hand, the concept of "two mountains" looks at environmental problems from the perspective of development and the needs of the times, and is committed to building an eco-economic system characterized by industrial ecologicalization and eco-industrialization, promoting high-end, intelligent and green traditional industries, and promoting high-quality economic development in the process of improving the environment; On the other hand, the concept of "two mountains" deeply responds to the people’s actual demands, embodies our party’s people-centered development thought, promotes ecological benefits for the people, benefits the people, and serves the people, and provides more high-quality ecological products, so that people can truly feel the ecological benefits brought by development in the beautiful China with sky blue, green land and clear water.

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that "it is necessary to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of development mode, adhere to green and low-carbon development as a fundamental solution to ecological and environmental problems, accelerate the formation of green production methods and lifestyles, and plant a green background of high-quality development." Chinese-style modernization is the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must more firmly and systematically implement the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought and practice the concept of "two mountains". To embark on a new journey of ecological civilization construction, we should actively explore and promote the transformation path of "two mountains" and accelerate the establishment of the value realization mechanism of ecological products.

  Specifically, the first is to continuously strengthen the concept of system, consider all elements of natural ecology as a whole, promote the governance of ecological environment system, collaborative governance and source governance from a global perspective, focus on improving the quality and stability of ecosystem, and enhance the ecological service function while maintaining ecological balance. The second is to actively explore the transformation path model of "two mountains". In the top-level design, we should explore the establishment of a policy framework oriented to the value of eco-products, cultivate new eco-industrial business entities, promote the formation of a construction pattern with consistent goals, up-and-down linkage, discussion and sharing, and a sustainable eco-product value realization mechanism led by the government, with the participation of enterprises and all sectors of society, and market-oriented collaborative operation, and explore transformation path models including green banks and "ecological plus" composite formats, so as to accumulate experience for the innovative practice of the concept of "two mountains". Third, we will continue to strengthen the legal protection of the ecological environment, improve the legislative system of ecological civilization, adhere to the strictest system and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment, actively promote the revision of laws and regulations in key areas, strengthen the coordination of the legal system of ecological environment, and consolidate the foundation of the rule of law in order to practice the concept of "two mountains" and create a new paradigm for the development of ecological civilization. All in all, we will constantly enhance our consciousness and initiative in promoting the construction of ecological civilization, protect green mountains and green hills more beautifully, and make Jinshan Yinshan bigger.

A new case of bird flu in Brazil Ministry of Agriculture: it will not affect the consumption and export of poultry meat.

   Brazil confirmed on June 7th that it was highly pathogenic in a family in Campinápolis, Mato Grosso.

 
  The Brazilian website "g1globo" reported that the official Veterinary Service Center (SVO) was responsible for blocking the farm and collecting samples for laboratory analysis, and the test result of avian influenza virus was positive. This is the fourth time that the virus has been found in a self-sufficient poultry farm in Brazil.
 
  On the 8th, the government began to carry out disinfection measures and monitoring actions in a radius of 10 kilometers around the outbreak point. One of the measures is to set up a sanitary barrier to strictly control and thoroughly disinfect the vehicles passing through the area.
 
  The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture clearly pointed out that there are no commercial poultry farms in the monitored radius. The Ministry of Agriculture stressed: "Confirming the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in self-sufficient poultry farms will not affect the trade between Brazil and poultry and egg products. The consumption and export of poultry products are still safe. "
 
  The Ministry of Agriculture also said: "The epidemic confirmed in self-sufficient poultry farms will not change the 28-day sanitary quarantine period after the disinfection work at the epidemic site in Negru, Rio Grande do Sul. A commercial poultry farm in the city has recently been confirmed to have an outbreak of bird flu. "
 
  Brazil found the first case of avian influenza among wild birds in May 2023. Two years later (in 2025), on May 15th, Brazil first discovered the highly pathogenic avian influenza epidemic in the commercial breeding system, which was reported by the commercial poultry farm in Monte Negru. In the past two years, the epidemic situation of avian influenza recorded in Brazil only appeared in wild birds or self-sufficient poultry farms, and did not affect related commercial activities.
 
  The disinfection of poultry farms affected by the virus in Monte Negru was completed on May 21st. From May 22nd, if there are no new cases of avian influenza in commercial farms in Brazil in the next 28 days, it can be regarded as "clearing the epidemic".

China’s Ministry of National Defense: Ask the US to stop selling weapons to Taiwan and military ties between the United States and Taiwan.

  Cctv newsOn the afternoon of October 27th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, Deputy Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions.

  Reporter: According to Taiwan media reports, the 21st "US-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference" recently ended. According to Taiwan sources, the United States may announce a number of arms sales projects to Taiwan before the end of the year. What’s your comment on this?

  Tan Kefei:For some time, the United States has repeatedly violated its political commitment of not supporting Taiwan independence, repeatedly played the "Taiwan Province card" to interfere in China’s internal affairs, and even sent out the wrong signal of "rejecting reunification by force" to help Taiwan. These abominable acts of the United States have seriously damaged China’s national sovereignty and security, seriously threatened peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, brought great strategic risks to the relations between China and the United States and the two armies, and sent a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. China is seriously concerned about this and resolutely opposes it.

  This year marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of the August 17th Communiqué between China and the United States. At that time, the United States clearly admitted in the communique that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan Province is a part of China, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) government is the only legitimate government in China. It explicitly promised not to pursue the policy of long-term arms sales to Taiwan Province and gradually reduce arms sales to Taiwan until the problem was finally solved. Black and white, clear and unambiguous. But in fact, the United States has repeatedly reneged on its commitments. Especially in recent years, the United States has falsified and hollowed out the one-China principle, and constantly instigated arms sales to Taiwan, creating obstacles for China to achieve peaceful reunification.

  In the final analysis, the security of Taiwan Province depends on the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. The US arms sales to Taiwan will only push up the tension in the Taiwan Strait and the risk of conflict and confrontation. We urge the US to stop arms sales to Taiwan and US-Taiwan military ties, and not to make repeated mistakes on the Taiwan Province issue. The China People’s Liberation Army pays close attention to the situation in the Taiwan Strait and will continue to take effective measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty and security interests.

The most famous unfinished project in the Forbidden City turned into a big transformation, and the words of the president of the Forbidden City lit up!

CCTV News:On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the Forbidden City next year, Yanxi Palace is planned to be transformed into a museum of foreign cultural relics, and hall of mental cultivation will also complete its research protection. Renovation began in 2015, and after five years, two palaces that have attracted much attention will meet the audience again next year.

The renovation plan of Yanxi Palace, which has attracted much attention in recent years, will be officially launched this year. It is expected that the Forbidden City will be transformed into a foreign cultural relics museum on the occasion of its 600th anniversary, and more than 10,000 foreign cultural relics will be displayed to the audience.

The Palace Museum has a rich collection of foreign cultural relics, including lacquerware, pottery, porcelain, glassware, enamel, metal, fabrics, paintings, books, sculptures, furniture, clocks and watches, scientific and technological instruments, etc., with various countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Italy, Austria, the United States, Bulgaria, Japan, North Korea and other countries. Its source is mainly the old collection of the Qing palace, and some of them are collected by the people or donated by individuals. Its era ranged from the 16th century to the early 20th century, and it was mostly in the 18th and 19th centuries.

According to the Forbidden City, the renovation plan of Yanxi Palace will be launched in the near future and transformed into a foreign cultural relics museum. Show the public the treasures of foreign cultural relics collected by more than 10,000 colleges.

Dan Jixiang, Dean of the Palace Museum:There will be a series of changes in the foreign cultural relics museum, which is a modern architectural form, so it is relatively large and has two floors. Therefore, those large clocks and watches return to the Imperial Palace in Ningshou Palace Garden, where they were originally placed, and large clocks and watches return there.

According to reports, Yanxi Palace is one of the six palaces in the Inner Palace. In the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang (1845), Yanxi Palace caught fire, leaving only the palace gate. In 1909, the first year of Xuantong, a 3-storey water hall was built in the original site of the palace, with stone and metal as the building and glass as the wall, so that you can watch fish near the water. Empress Long Yu inscribed "Lingnuman Xuan", commonly known as "Crystal Palace". In fact, this building was not completed at all and became the most famous unfinished project in the Forbidden City.
