This Italian coffee brand, founded in 1933, set up an Italian coffee bar at the exhibition for the audience to taste and feel the "Italian style".

  Italy is the guest country of this Expo, with more than 140 Italian brands participating in the exhibition. For this grand event, Italian enterprises have made "all efforts" and are full of expectations for the China market. As Stephen Perry, chairman of 48 British group clubs, commented, "China used to be an Asian consumer market, but now it is a global consumer market".

  In 2022, the total retail sales of social consumer goods in China reached 44 trillion yuan, ranking the second largest consumer market in the world and becoming the second largest import market in the world for the 14th consecutive year. Xie Weibo, president of Danone China, North Asia and Oceania, said that China’s consumption potential will be further released, and it is a unique "world market", providing new business opportunities for enterprises from all over the world.

  Starting from the Expo, a more open and dynamic China is gradually leading the new trend of global consumption. Observers pointed out that the Expo is a window for the world to observe consumption trends. Li Tianrong, a columnist of Philippine Star, said that the rapid rise of China’s consumer market has stimulated global technological innovation, improved the manufacturing, aesthetic design and quality and safety standards of various countries, and boosted the development of global industrial production.

  "In the next decade, China’s contribution to global consumption growth will be in a leading position." He Zhiyun, President of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said that China consumers are in the frontier market where technological changes, diversified changes and new consumption behaviors emerge one after another. China unswervingly promotes high-level opening to the outside world, creating opportunities for global enterprises to share the China market and China enterprises to go global.

China’s economic growth is an important driving force for global growth, which has put the world on the road of common development.

The "Off-exchange Option Storm" in the Fund Circle: Rumors, Fund Managers, Derivatives …

Economic Observer Network reporter Zou Yongqin Recently, the "off-exchange options storm" in the fund circle triggered by the revelations of two Weibo has been widely noted.

The focus of market rumors has also changed from the initial "manager Public Offering of Fund was arrested" to questioning the relevant private equity products. As a result, a product named "Jianhong Time No.2" has become the object of rumor because of its unusually high yield since this year, which makes Shenzhen Qianhai Jianhong Times Asset Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jianhong Times) pushed into the spotlight.

On August 11th and 12th, the reporter from Economic Observer Network interviewed Zhao Yuanyuan, the investment director of Jianhong Times and also the helm of the "Jianhong Time II" product. In the interview, Zhao Yuanyuan emphasized to reporters that she has never been involved in OTC options trading in her fund manager career, both before and now.

No matter what the final truth is, this "over-the-counter option storm" has swept through the public and private investment circles, which in turn triggered a series of vigilance and reflection …

Two "inconspicuous" Weibo

This heated "OTC option storm" originated from two seemingly inconspicuous Weibo.

The reporter inquired about the public information and found that at around 19: 30 on August 8, a blogger named "Retreat from the Performing Arts Major Level II" issued two Weibo reports in 12 minutes, saying that an intermediary in Lin’ an Prefecture (referring to Hangzhou) helped the fund manager to make OTC options, involving more than 300 fund managers and locking more than 30, and the public security directly arrested people; And stressed that this was "the biggest scandal in the history of Public Offering of Fund industry".

Then some media began to follow up and intervene. Due to the impact of the words "the biggest scandal in history", "involving more than 300 fund managers" and "the police directly take people", and the recent frequent announcement of fund managers’ resignation, as well as the investigation of many senior executives of chip fund companies, "the fund manager was arrested for OTC options trading" quickly fermented into a hot search.

On the one hand, the communication data Datayes! According to statistics, from August 1st to August 11th, 58 fund managers left their posts, among which 13 fund managers were no longer in charge of products after leaving their posts, including Zeng Jianfei and Dong Zhiche of Qianhai Open Source Fund, Xu Yiyang of Debon Fund and so on. Because there is a certain association between being arrested and leaving office, the above 13 fund managers have become suspected targets of OTC options rumors.

On the other hand, in the process of the spread and fermentation of the network from the media, the scope of this OTC option rumor has been expanding to the field of private equity funds, and a number of products with "unusual" performance this year have also been labeled as "suspected". Among them, the "Jianhong Time No.2" private equity fund product, which was established less than two years ago but earned more than 40 times the income and ranked first in the performance rankings in the past month, is the key target.

Wind data shows that as of August 5, 2022, the cumulative net growth rate of "Jianhong Time No.2" this year is as high as 2607.8%, which makes it stand out from the crowd in the market that is not very good this year. Since July, the net value curve of "Jianhong Time No.2" has shown a nearly vertical surge.

The reporter of the Economic Observer Network noticed that just as the "OTC option storm" was in full swing, Weibo, as the fuse of the incident, quietly carried out a series of "operations":

First of all, in the middle of the night of August 8, when the incident just fermented into a hot spot in the whole network, the blogger quickly changed the name of Weibo to "the security captain of the first workshop of Zhabei Lithium Industry No.3 Factory", which made it difficult for many subsequent participants to find the real source of the incident.

Then at 21: 10 on August 9, he sent Weibo to denounce the low professionalism of relevant financial journalists and made a mistake about what he wanted to express; And announced that it would "cut" with relevant media (it will not accept any consultation from these media in the future, and the relevant Weibo account will be blacked out).

Then, the blogger simply deleted the two Weibo stories that had been revealed before.

After a three-step process of renaming, "cutting" and deleting posts, the initiator of the recent huge wave in the fund circle has disappeared from this storm.

The reporter noticed that just two hours before the whistleblower announced that he was "cutting" with the relevant media, that is, at 18: 41 on August 9, Jianhong Times officially alerted the public security organ about the "libel" of its products, and emphasized in its official website statement that "those responsible for defaming the company’s reputation will be traced to the end and further measures will be taken to investigate all legal responsibilities".

Did the report in Jianhong era lead to the "cutting" and deletion of posts by this Weibo whistleblower, or was it part of his plan? And what is his identity, where is the source of his information, and how credible is it? With a series of questions, the reporter wrote to him privately through Weibo in order to get in touch with him for an interview. But as of press time, the Weibo whistleblower didn’t respond, although he kept updating Weibo.

Jiang Zhenxiong, a professional investor who has been involved in stocks and futures for more than ten years, pointed out to reporters that this informant has obvious connection with the financial big V "Lin Dengwan" who emptied Weibo before: "First of all, the Weibo content of this informant is consistent with the content of a Baijia number named" Lin Dengwan ",and the content is updated simultaneously, showing that the operators of the two accounts are the same person; Secondly, the stem of Zhabei Lithium Industry originated from Xizang Chengtou (600773.SH). Last year, when the stock rushed to an all-time high, several financial giants V strongly recommended the theme of’ Shanghai local stocks+lithium mines’ of the stock, commonly known as Zhabei Lithium Industry, and financial giant V’ Lord Lin Dengwan’ was one of them, and the stock fell sharply afterwards; Thirdly, the name "Linda" appeared in many places in Weibo’s comments of the informant, and it was forwarded to Weibo of @ Lindenwan’s adult, and a message was called "trumpet".

Connected data Datayes! According to statistics, the historical peak of Xizang City Investment in 2021 was 37.68 yuan/share, and the lowest in 2022 was 11.91 yuan/share, with a decrease of about 70% in less than one year. At the same time, the minimum number of shareholders in 2021 was 46,536, but in the first quarter of this year, it soared to 88,809, and the chips tended to be scattered, showing the typical characteristics of large funds profitably distributed and small funds entering the market to receive goods.

The reporter noticed that although "Lord Lin Dengwan" emptied Weibo’s content, there were still some residual stock review articles in financial forums including Snowball, and there were even some abusive messages from loss-making investors.

Jiang Zhenxiong further pointed out that in fact, before this blogger suspected of Lin Dengwan broke the news, there were already some rumors on the Internet about fund managers illegally participating in OTC options to make profits, but it was not as sensational as the above-mentioned news that more than 300 people were involved in the case.

Jiang Zhenxiong said that the reason why this storm has such a great impact is that there are loopholes in the current regulatory system. In theory, fund managers do have ways to make huge profits by participating in OTC options. Therefore, we can’t hold a negative attitude to this matter just because the informant may be a stale stock critic, but we should treat this rumor rationally. While not believing in rumors, I hope that the regulatory authorities will take action. If violations are found, they will be punished if rumors are made, so as to return the market to a fair, open and just environment, instead of waiting until the injured party reports to the police. "

Jianhong times called the police.

Jianhong Times is the first fund company to report to the police in this OTC option storm, and it is also the only one so far. On the night of August 9th, while it alerted shenzhen public Futian Branch, it also issued a statement on the homepage of official website.

In the statement, Jianhong Times said that "Zhang Wenyi’s micro-signal" and "Liu Luochen’s Weibo" on the Internet recently slandered on WeChat Group and Weibo without any basis, saying that the outstanding achievement of the fund "Jianhong Time No.2" managed by the Company was due to the cooperation with Manager Public Offering of Fund in OTC options trading. To this end, Jianhong Times made the following official statement:

"Jianhong Time No.2" has not yet reached the conditions for opening OTC derivatives trading, and has not opened OTC derivatives trading. "The reason why the net value of Time II products has risen rapidly in the near future is that we have grasped short-term opportunities according to our investment framework under the macro and market environment in the recent period".

Jianhong Times said in a statement that "the company has reported the above-mentioned bad behavior of fabricating and disseminating false information about securities and futures trading and slandering the company’s good reputation to the public security department and the industry supervision department, waiting for further handling by the public security department and the industry supervision department".

In addition, Jianhong Times also stressed that those responsible for slandering the company’s reputation will be traced to the end and further measures will be taken to investigate all legal responsibilities.

However, on August 10th, the reporter looked at Weibo of Liu Luochen and found that there was nothing related to the Jianhong era. In this regard, the relevant staff of the Jianhong era explained to reporters that "after we called the police, they immediately deleted the relevant inaccurate content; Now, the police in Shenzhen and Shanghai have accepted our report. "

From this point of view, since the alarm has been reported and the related rumor information has been deleted by the publisher, it seems that this "OTC option storm" should come to an end. However, with the release of official website’s statement in Jianhong era, there has been a new round of doubts in the market.

Through sorting out, the reporter found that the new round of doubts mainly revolved around three points: first, in the statement of Jianhong Times, the outstanding achievement of "Jianhong Time No.2" was attributed to grasping the short-term opportunity, and the skeptics thought that this explanation was quite far-fetched, and found out the previous position information of Jianhong Times, and then inferred that it was difficult for it to obtain such rich income only by secondary market operation; Second, Zhao Yuanyuan, the helmsman of "Jianhong Time II", had a poor performance when he was in Public Offering of Fund, but now his performance is so dazzling. The skeptics believe that there must be something fishy behind such a huge contrast; Third, a website just removed the product information of Jianhong era at this time, which also became the basis of skeptics.

"Build hong?Time No.2"

Official website, China Fund Association, shows that Jianhong Times was established in May 2015 and became a member of the Fund Association in November 2016. Its latest management scale is RMB 500-100 million (as of February 16, 2022), and its actual controller is Gong Yi.

Jianhong Times said in official website that its main business is asset management, which mainly uses its own funds and customer funds for investment management. The investment direction is the domestic capital market, and the investment scope is the investment varieties with good liquidity, including financial derivatives such as stocks, bonds, funds and futures options. In previous media interviews, Jianhong Times also admitted that some of its products had "futures accounts".

Connected data Datayes! According to statistics, there are 46 management products in Jianhong era, and the number of existing products is 38 at present. Among the product types, 86.96% belong to stock subjectivity, and the recently controversial "Jianhong Time No.2" belongs to this type.

"Jianhong Time No.2" was established on September 10, 2020, and its investment strategy is stock bulls. As of August 5, 2022, "Jianhong Time No.2", which was established less than two years ago, took 4,324.50% of the income, with an annualized income of 631.77%. If calculated this year, its cumulative net growth rate is as high as 2607.8%; Since July, its net value curve has soared nearly 90 degrees: the weekly rate of return has exceeded 20%.

No matter from which point of view, the performance of "Jianhong Time No.2" can be called "the best fund product" in the near future; At the helm, Zhao Yuanyuan, a former winner of the Golden Bull Award.

Connected data Datayes! Statistics show that Zhao Yuanyuan’s fund industry has worked for 10.3 years (including 5.02 years in public offering and 5.28 years in private offering), and has served as four fund companies, namely Caitong Fund, Huashang Fund, Tongyi Fuli and Jianhong Times.

Although she won the China Gold Award and the Golden Bull Award twice during her career in Public Offering of Fund, her annualized income during her tenure as manager of Public Offering of Fund was not ideal, only 1.92%, which was lower than the benchmark annualized income (8.19%) in the same period. Among them, her return on employment in the Chinese Business Fund is -24.59%, ranking 384 among 399 funds of the same type, which is totally different from the current outstanding performance, which has also become the criticism of skeptics.

So, how does Zhao Yuanyuan, who is in the whirlpool, view these doubts? On August 11th and 12th, a reporter from Economic Observer Network contacted Zhao Yuanyuan twice and interviewed him.

Zhao Yuanyuan told reporters that the reason why her products can achieve such good results is because her team made timing judgment on positions and industry allocation from macro and industry perspectives, and combined with bottom-up stock research, so as to avoid market beta risks and strive to find industries and high-quality targets with excess returns at each stage.

"Of course, since July, the net value of Time II products has soared, which is really unbelievable. This is because while we have achieved good investment returns through short-term timing, there have been many large redemptions of this product in the last month, and under the double superposition, its net value has soared. Some people may think that it is such a coincidence. But this is really the case, "she said.

Zhao Yuanyuan also stressed to reporters that she has never been involved in OTC options trading in her fund manager career, both before and now.

How does large redemption affect the net worth and make it rise? According to public information, large redemption affects the change of net value through two ways: first, the generated redemption fee goes into the fund assets, and if small-scale products encounter huge redemption, the net value will often increase sharply; Second, the calculation date of the fund’s net value is different, which usually brings opportunities for the products with rising performance to skyrocket.

Jiang Zhenxiong also put forward his views on the statement that large-scale redemption can increase net worth. He said that large redemption can certainly increase the net value, but it can’t last long. Follow-up can pay attention to the changing trend of the net value of "Jianhong Time No.2".

"In fact, the skyrocketing performance is not necessarily related to participation in OTC options trading. Isn’t there a futures account in the Jianhong era? There are many futures markets with daily profits and losses exceeding 20%, "he said.

As for why he performed so badly in the Chinese Business Fund, Zhao Yuanyuan said that there are two reasons. One is that his performance as a fund assistant was not taken into account, and the other is that his personal investment style is not suitable for the product.

She further said, "People will always grow up, and the investment framework of Jianhong era is consistent with my investment style, so it is natural to perform well now."

Zhao Yuanyuan’s statement was also corroborated by a former colleague from wang xing, a Chinese fund company. In an interview with reporters, the wang xing fund manager pointed out that Zhao Yuanyuan did not count in the performance when he was the assistant manager of the Chinese prosperous growth fund, but when he officially took the helm of the product and calculated the performance, it coincided with the arrival of the stock market crash, so this performance has certain probability.

"In fact, I think this is not the core of the problem. The point is, who stipulated that poor performance in the past can’t be turned into good performance now? How many managers in Public Offering of Fund either quit their jobs or’ go public for personal gain’ just to find a place where they can give full play to their abilities, so as to achieve good results? It is a good thing that the market has doubts, but the premise of questioning is that there is a basis. " The wang xing fund manager said.

As for the fact that the net value data of Jianhong era was taken off the shelf by a website, Zhao Yuanyuan didn’t want to talk more. According to the reporter’s inquiry, as of August 13, regular platform websites such as Wonder Data and Tonglian Data Datayes! All of them are showing the net value data of Jianhong era as usual.

Industry voice

Starting from the two Weibo, this "OTC option storm" that swept the fund circle has been tossing for a week. Its influence on the capital market, especially in the fund field, is obvious. In recent financial forum messages, the number of messages abusing fund managers on this ground is obviously increasing.

If the shady rumors of fund managers’ OTC options are not true or false, how can we stop these phenomena from the perspective of securities market management? In this regard, Li Yinlin, a partner of Locke Capital, stressed in an interview that "the only suggestion is to penetrate the management of all investors’ sources of funds".

Jiang Zhenxiong believes that "penetrating the management of all investors’ sources of funds" is necessary, but it is not enough, and further improvement of regulatory policies is needed.

"Why can such rumors break out? It is because there is indeed a way for individual (unqualified) investors to enter OTC options through some intermediaries. So, why can these intermediaries do this? Is there a loophole in the previous policy? If so, it should be improved quickly. Better late than never. "

At the same time, Jiang Zhenxiong stressed that he hopes that the regulatory authorities can promptly intervene in the investigation of the OTC option storm. "If there are fund managers who borrow OTC options to make huge profits, whether it is more than 300 or three, it will have a huge negative impact on the entire fund industry and must be severely punished; If it is a rumor, it should also investigate and deal with the rumors, and also clear the fund industry and the OTC options industry. "

Some market participants also believe that the reason for these rumors and chaos is also related to the fact that there are too few financial derivatives in China, so it is suggested that the regulatory authorities vigorously develop them. Zhang Zhuran, the chief researcher of Jilianyun, holds this view.

In an interview with reporters, he said that under the background of salary restriction in Public Offering of Fund, fund managers make big money for their personal interests (that is, making profits through off-exchange options), even though it has not been completely confirmed at present, it is at least justified in business logic. "In fact, whether it is off-exchange options or on-exchange options, insiders will have the possibility of getting rich overnight, which is extremely tempting for fund managers of public offering or private offering."

Zhang Zhuran further pointed out that the main reason for this phenomenon (meaning that you can get rich overnight by using insider information) is that the development of derivatives in China’s capital market is seriously lagging behind, and the management lacks a clear plan and development path for the development of derivatives.

"Therefore, it is suggested that the regulatory authorities should improve this aspect and vigorously develop related derivatives and bring them into standardized and transparent management," he said.

Reporting/feedback

American media and experts continue to pay attention to my white paper on "economic and trade frictions"

  The press office in the State Council, China recently released a white paper "Facts about Sino-US Economic and Trade Friction and China’s Position", which comprehensively and systematically combed Sino-US economic and trade relations, clarified China’s policy stance, and pointed out that the essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win, and what the US government has done is trade protectionism and trade bullying. In the past few days, the white paper has received continuous attention from American media and experts. American media and experts are also questioning and criticizing the US government’s trade policy.

  The escalation of the trade war is detrimental to the global economy.

  The white paper provides a basis for all walks of life in the United States to fully understand Sino-US economic and trade relations and accurately grasp China’s policy stance. Major American media such as Washington post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, CNN, Bloomberg, and the NBC Financial Channel published relevant reports at the first time, and quoted their contents in great length.

  NBC’s Financial Channel reported that the white paper showed China’s official position in dealing with Sino-US economic and trade relations. The report quoted experts as saying that China stressed that only after being attacked would it take countermeasures. The Wall Street Journal report stressed that the white paper "Facts about Sino-US Economic and Trade Friction and China’s Position" deserves attention.

  Washington post pointed out that the white paper used a large number of tables and cases, cited the research of u.s.-china business council, Washington think tank, Goldman Sachs and other parties, and took companies such as General Motors, Intel and Apple as examples to illustrate that the US-China economic and trade cooperation is a win-win relationship and beneficial to the United States. The Bloomberg report mainly quoted the contents in the white paper, such as "the door to China negotiations has been open" and "negotiations cannot be conducted under the threat of tariff sticks". According to the report, if the US government insists on escalating the conflict, this trade dispute may develop into a war of attrition, and economists have warned that the escalation of the trade war will harm the global economy.

  After the US government imposed tariffs on China’s goods again, the voice of doubt and criticism in the United States rose obviously. CNN reported that American consumers are likely to find that all kinds of consumer goods, from shampoo to dog food to electrical appliances, will increase in price this fall. Wal-Mart said that the tariff measures will lead it to raise the price of goods. Target, another retail giant, said that working families will pay higher prices for all kinds of school supplies, such as notebooks, calculators and staplers. Fitch Ratings, a rating agency, recently lowered its forecast for global economic growth in 2019 by 0.1 percentage point due to concerns about the protectionist policies of the United States.

  The cooperation with China partners is completely mutually beneficial and win-win.

  Sino-US economic and trade exchanges are large in scale, rich in connotation, wide in coverage and diverse in subjects, and it is inevitable that some contradictions and differences will arise. The two countries should properly handle their differences by seeking common ground while reserving differences. The white paper points out that the imbalance of trade in goods between China and the United States is more a natural result of independent market choice under the structure of American economy and existing comparative advantage.

  Stephen Roach, a senior researcher at Yale University and former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, told this reporter that the trade imbalance between the United States and China does exist, but the reason is the structural contradiction of the United States’ own macro-economy. The United States has a trade deficit with 102 countries in the world. The trade deficit is essentially a multilateral issue and cannot be solved through bilateral channels. Imposing tariffs on China will only shift the US trade deficit with China to other countries with higher costs, which will bring more pressure to American consumers.

  Donald Boudreau, a professor of economics at George Mei Sen University in the United States, believes that the so-called "US-China trade deficit means that the United States suffers" is a manifestation of complete ignorance of economics. He pointed out that in today’s globalization, absolutely balanced trade cannot be pursued unilaterally.

  On issues such as intellectual property protection and China’s industrial policy, the white paper also responded and clarified the unwarranted accusations of the US. In fact, more and more Americans have voiced their opinions on these issues recently, arguing that the US government’s statement lacks factual basis, and it is not only useless but also dangerous to formulate policies based on this.

  American Weeding Equipment Company is a small family business located in Indiana with a history of more than 120 years. President Ke Shanglong participated in the "301 investigation" hearing three times and opposed the increase of tariffs. He told this reporter that the cooperation with China’s partners is completely mutually beneficial and win-win, and there has never been a compulsory request for technology transfer.

  Stephen Roach said, "I once established the first investment bank in China, namely China International Capital Corporation, on behalf of Morgan Stanley and China Construction Bank. In the 15 years of cooperation, I have never been forced to transfer anything. " He said that American enterprises and China partners voluntarily signed legally binding agreements based on the judgment of commercial interests, established joint ventures and shared manpower, systems and processes.

  Adam Persson, director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said that China enterprises have the right to make progress in any field, including high-tech fields, and so does the United States. China hopes to make great progress in some technical fields and should not be regarded as a threat to the United States.

  The United States and China should expand cooperation in the field of consensus.

  The white paper emphasizes that Sino-US economic and trade relations are related to the well-being of the two peoples and to world peace, prosperity and stability. For China and the United States, cooperation is the only correct choice, and a win-win situation can lead to a better future.

  It is exactly what many American experts and scholars call for to solve Sino-US trade friction through mutual respect and equal negotiation. At a think tank event held not long ago, former US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lu publicly stated that constructive dialogue is still the best path for the United States and China. The United States and China should expand cooperation in areas of consensus and narrow their differences.

  Huang Yuchuan, a senior researcher at the Carnegie Foundation, a Washington think tank, published a commentary in The New York Times, pointing out that it is a better choice for the United States and China to resolve trade disputes through the WTO. He emphasized in particular that China has a good record in implementing WTO rulings, but on the contrary, a series of practices of the United States have obviously violated WTO rules, thus bringing erosion to the organization. David Lake, a professor at the University of California, San Diego, and Jessica Weiss, an associate professor at Cornell University, jointly published an article in Washington post, pointing out that the WTO has clear rules on the settlement of trade disputes and can be an effective platform for solving trade problems between the United States and China.

Summary of the Party’s Grassroots Organization Construction since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 9th  Title: Build a strong fighting fortress and consolidate the foundation of governance — — Summary of the Party’s Grassroots Organization Construction since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  The strength of the party comes from the organization. A strict organizational system is the advantage and strength of Marxist political parties. Among them, grass-roots party organizations are the "nerve endings" of the party’s body and the foundation of the party’s ruling building.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Our Party’s grass-roots party organizations and party member ranks are powerful organizational resources that no other political party in the world can have. We will do a good job in grassroots party building, our grassroots party organizations will be unbreakable, our party member team will be indestructible, the party’s ruling position will be rock solid, and the cause of the party and the people will be invincible. "

  Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has been based on a new historical position, made a far-sighted and overall plan, paid more attention to the construction of the party’s organizational system, focused on improving organizational strength, highlighted political functions, strengthened party building work in enterprises, rural areas, organs, institutions, communities, social organizations and other fields, and promoted all-round progress and perfection of grass-roots party organizations.

  On September 6, 2022, volunteers from party member communicated with the elderly in the community at the Party and Mass Service Center of Lanjin Community in Jinnan Street, Lin ‘an District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Yushe

  Firmly establish a clear orientation of grasping the grass-roots level

  "Grassroots party organizations are the foundation of the party’s ruling building. If the foundation is solid, the building will be strong, and if the foundation is loose, the building will be tilted."

  "The most solid strength of the party’s work is supported at the grassroots level, and the most prominent contradictions and problems in economic and social development and people’s livelihood are also at the grassroots level. It is necessary to lay the foundation at the grassroots level as a long-term solution and a solid foundation, and we must not relax at all."

  "The ability of grassroots party organizations is not strong. Grasping the implementation of major tasks is a touchstone and a whetstone. The CPC Central Committee has formulated a series of major strategies and deployed a series of major tasks, and grassroots party organizations must play a leading role in implementation. "

  … …

  Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made a series of important instructions on promoting the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party to the grassroots level, doing a solid job in grasping the grassroots level, laying a solid foundation and consolidating the basics, systematically answering major theoretical and practical questions such as how to look at, grasp what to grasp and how to grasp the grassroots party building work in the new era, pointing out the direction of progress and providing fundamental follow-up for building a strong fighting fortress and consolidating the foundation of governance.

  In Fangcheng New Village, xiping town, Yunzhou District, Datong, Shanxi, Jinmi Village, Xiaoling Town, Zhashui County, Shangluo, Shaanxi, and Yongfeng Village, Taihe Town, Dongpo District, Meishan, Sichuan & HELIP; … Go to the village to understand the situation of grasping party building and promoting rural revitalization;

  In Jiangsu Xugong Group Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd., in Hubei Wuhan Fiberhome Technology Group Co., Ltd., in Guangdong Guangzhou Mingluo Automobile Equipment Co., Ltd. … … Put forward clear requirements for strengthening party building and promoting the healthy development of enterprises;

  … …

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader should go deep into the grass-roots front line whenever he visits a place, and make important instructions on giving full play to the role of grass-roots party organizations as fighting fortresses and the vanguard and exemplary role of the vast number of party member, adhering to the people-centered development thought and doing a good job in mass work.

  Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has taken the overall situation into consideration, made scientific plans, strengthened the top-level design, revised the Regulations on the Work of Rural Grassroots Organizations in the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Regulations on the Work of Grassroots Organizations of Party and State Organs in the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Regulations on the Work of Grassroots Organizations in Colleges and Universities in the Communist Party of China (CPC), and formulated the Regulations on the Work of Grassroots Organizations of State-owned Enterprises in the Communist Party of China (CPC) (for Trial Implementation), the Regulations on the Work of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Branch (for Trial Implementation) and the Regulations on Education Management in members of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The Party Central Committee and relevant departments of the central government held a conference on Party building in central and state organs, a teleconference on grasping Party building to promote rural revitalization, a nationwide teleconference on urban grassroots Party building leading grassroots governance, a symposium on Party building in central enterprises, and a national conference on Party building in colleges and universities … …

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally planned, deployed and promoted, and solidly promoted the construction of the party’s grassroots organizations, setting a benchmark and setting an example for the whole party. Since 2014, all departments and units in various regions have carried out the debriefing, evaluation and assessment of party Committee (party group) secretaries for grass-roots party building work for eight consecutive years. In 2019, the Central Organization Department issued the "Measures for the Evaluation and Assessment of Party Committee (Party Group) Secretaries in Grasping Grassroots Party Building Work (Trial)". Party committees (party groups) at all levels have established a clear orientation of grasping the grassroots, solidly promoted grassroots party building in the "two major positions" of rural and urban areas, effectively solved outstanding problems in grassroots party building in traditional fields such as state-owned enterprises, institutions, universities and public hospitals, made efforts to fill shortcomings in party building in emerging fields such as non-public enterprises and social organizations, and explored ways to promote party building in new formats and new employment groups.

  In the past five years, all localities, departments and units have worked hard to build grass-roots party organizations in various fields into strong battle fortresses to publicize the Party’s ideas, implement the Party’s decisions, lead grass-roots governance, unite and mobilize the masses, and promote reform and development. The Party’s organizational system has become more rigorous, the superiority of Marxist political parties has become more prominent, and the Party’s leadership has become more "like an arm, like an armband", effectively ensuring that the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee are implemented to the letter.

  Consolidate the organizational foundation for fully implementing the rural revitalization strategy.

  Haojiaqiao Village in Suide County, Yulin, Shaanxi Province was once a model village discovered by Suide District Committee of the Communist Party of China in the spring of 1943. After a lapse of 78 years, Haojiaqiao Village was awarded the title of "Model": "National Model for Poverty Alleviation".

  In September, 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Haojiaqiao Village and pointed out three party building experiences, one of which was "to build a good party branch, choose a good leader, take the mass line, mobilize the enthusiasm of the masses, raise their awareness, sublimate their understanding and jointly do a good job".

  In the new era, from blowing the horn to winning the decisive battle, the construction of rural grass-roots party organizations is unprecedented in strength, investment, atmosphere and effectiveness. After winning the battle against poverty, the focus of the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers has historically shifted to comprehensively promoting rural revitalization.

  The key to rural revitalization lies in people and work, and it is necessary to build a team of rural cadres with excellent politics, skills and style; The policies of rural revitalization ultimately depend on the implementation of rural grassroots party organizations.

  On May 6, 2022, Huang Chenhui, the first resident secretary of Gangwei Village, Dapo Township, Rong ‘an County, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, and township cadres and engineering designers discussed the industrial demonstration belt scheme of Gangwei Village in Dapo Feiji Agricultural Special Products Big Data Center. Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Xiaobang photo

  In June 2021, the Central Organization Department issued "Several Opinions on Grasping Party Building to Promote Rural Revitalization", and systematically put forward 22 policy measures to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation and comprehensively promote rural revitalization from the aspects of cadres, organizations and talents. Party organizations at all levels adhere to overall construction, highlight key points and make precise efforts to ensure the quality and effectiveness of party building to promote rural revitalization.

  To comprehensively promote the party building and rural revitalization lies in strengthening and improving the party’s overall leadership over rural grassroots work, and implementing the major tasks of rural work put forward by the CPC Central Committee through the joint efforts of "five-level party organizations" in provinces, cities and counties. Many local party committees have implemented the responsibility of the secretary as the first responsible person, established a performance appraisal system for the leading bodies of party and government and leading cadres in cities and counties to implement the rural revitalization strategy, and promoted the "five-level secretary" to grasp rural revitalization.

  Strengthening the leading position of township and village party organizations is an important guarantee for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. The "Regulations on the Work of Rural Grassroots Organizations in the Communist Party of China (CPC)" clearly stated that "the leading position of rural grassroots party organizations should always be unshakable". All localities have improved and improved the mechanism for deciding major issues at the village level according to procedures after study and discussion by village party organizations, fully implemented the institutional mechanisms such as "four discussions and two openness" and village affairs supervision, and strengthened the management and supervision of key tasks for rural revitalization.

  Rural development is inseparable from the support of talents, and it is an important means to send the first secretary and team in the village to make good use of them. In the battle to win the fight against poverty, the country has selected 518,000 first secretaries and 2.492 million staff members. In 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee issued the "Opinions on Continuously Selecting the First Secretary and Task Force in Villages in Key Villages", and all localities improved the system of continuously selecting the first secretary and task force in villages.

  Promoting the development and expansion of village-level collective economy is an effective starting point for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. In 2018, the Central Organization Department, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the Notice on Adhering to and Strengthening the Leadership of Rural Grassroots Party Organizations to Support and Strengthen the Village-level Collective Economy, so as to promote the fruits of collective economic development to benefit the broad masses of peasants. In many places, the demonstration action of developing collective economy led by the Party branch was carried out to increase income and get rich.

  At the same time, from the central government to the local government, attention should be paid to increasing grassroots input and incentives. All localities have generally established a stable fund guarantee system for the operation of village-level organizations based on financial input, and established a normal growth mechanism. The level of guarantee for the treatment of rural grassroots cadres has been continuously improved, and the ability of party organizations to unite and serve the masses has been significantly enhanced.

  In the past five years, all localities have continuously optimized the village "two committees" team, especially the leader team, successfully completed the change of the village "two committees" and fully trained village cadres, especially in the major tasks of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, forging the leaders of village party organizations, cultivating reserve forces, normalizing the weak and scattered village party organizations, promoting the whole township and upgrading the whole county, and obviously enhancing the creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness of rural grassroots party organizations.

  Urban grass-roots party building leads the efficiency of grass-roots governance to be significantly improved.

  The road is smooth, the lights are on, the facilities are perfect, and everyone’s heart is bright … … In August this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Peony Community in Santaizi Street, Huanggu District, Shenyang, Liaoning Province. This once old community has been transformed into a well-known demonstration community for grassroots governance.

  Seeing the old appearance of the community, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We should strengthen the construction of grass-roots party organizations in the community, strengthen and improve community work, promote more resources to tilt towards the community, and let the people realize that our party is serving the people wholeheartedly and the party is always around the people."

  Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has attached great importance to urban grass-roots party building, went deep into urban communities and the front line of epidemic prevention, visited and sympathized with community cadres, masses and volunteers, and made a series of important instructions and made clear requirements for urban grass-roots party building and grass-roots governance.

  In the face of the new situation in the deepening of urbanization, the new requirements put forward by the people for a better life and the new challenges faced by urban grassroots governance, all localities have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the national symposium on experience exchange in urban grassroots party building work and continued to deepen practical exploration. The Organization Department of the Central Committee instructed all localities to determine 214 demonstration cities to try first and implement the "secretary pilot" project. The General Office of the Central Committee issued "Opinions on Strengthening and Improving Party Building at the Grassroots Level in Cities". The Organization Department of the Central Committee, the Political and Legal Committee of the Central Committee, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued a number of measures to deepen urban grassroots party building and lead grassroots governance. Recently, the Central Organization Department held a video conference to sum up the experience of using epidemic prevention and control struggle, deepen urban grassroots party building and lead grassroots governance redeployment … …

  From grass-roots exploration to top-level design, from typical guidance to overall promotion, from unified thinking to practical test, urban grass-roots party building has gone through practice step by step — — Understanding — — Practice again — — Deepening and upgrading of re-understanding.

  Leading grass-roots governance by Party building is a systematic project, which needs to establish a leadership coordination mechanism step by step, strengthen overall coordination, integrate organizational resources, and form an overall synergy. Many local provincial, city and county party committees set up grass-roots governance working committees as the deliberation and coordination bodies of party committees, with the party secretary as the director, demonstrating the demonstration effect. In some places, effective measures have been taken to promote the secretary of the municipal party committee to do it himself and solve difficult problems, and truly dance the "leading role" of the linkage of the city, district, street and community.

  "A thousand lines above, a needle below", no responsibility, no right. The reform of street management system is generally regarded as a "first move" in all parts of the country. Most streets are endowed with corresponding functions and powers, such as regional comprehensive management rights, planning participation rights, major issues suggestion rights, etc., and gradually cancel the tasks of attracting investment, tax cooperation and tax protection, optimize the establishment of working institutions in streets, and enhance the efficiency of management services. At the same time, a party-mass service center system with wide coverage and perfect functions is generally built in all localities to create a "red lighthouse" around the masses.

  All localities have promoted resources, services and management to the community, continued to carry out special actions to reduce the burden on the community, implemented the access system for community affairs, accelerated the construction of the professional system for community workers, seized the opportunity of centralized change of the "two committees" in the community, and improved the quality of the "two committees" in the community. At the same time, we will persist in co-construction, co-governance and sharing, deepen the interaction between street community party building, unit party building and industry party building, improve the mechanism of residents’ autonomy, grassroots consultation, group driving and social participation led by party organizations, promote community grid management, and enhance grassroots governance capacity.

  In addition, in view of the property problems that the masses have concentrated on, all localities have generally established a mechanism of joint construction, coordination and co-governance of community property, and turned property management forces into the party’s mass task force.

  Strong party building leads to strong governance. Party building work can only play a great role at a critical moment if it is well grasped at ordinary times. In the past five years, the urban grass-roots party organizations have become stronger and stronger, and the role of fighting bastions has become more prominent. The vast number of party member have been tempered by fire in the major exams of epidemic prevention and control, grass-roots governance and other wars, and have stood the test and played a role, winning praise. The people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security have been significantly improved, and the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people have become closer.

  The appeal and cohesion of the party in emerging fields are constantly expanding.

  On November 6, 2018, the party branches of three enterprises jointly held a party day activity with the theme of "I grew up with the Financial City" at the Party Building Service Center on the 22nd floor of Shanghai Tower. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came among them and had a cordial conversation with them.

  "The difficulty of party building work is at the grassroots level, and the highlight is also at the grassroots level. With the diversification of economic components and employment methods, more and more party member are employed in new economic organizations and new social organizations. It is necessary to do a good job in the education management of party member and guide them to play an active role. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed.

  Non-public enterprises and social organizations are the difficulties and weaknesses of grass-roots party building work, and also the important focus of strict party organization system. Strengthening party building in non-public enterprises and social organizations is very important for expanding the party’s organizational coverage and work coverage and consolidating the party’s ruling foundation.

  In the past five years, the Organization Department of the Central Committee, together with relevant departments, has conscientiously implemented the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on Party building in non-public enterprises and social organizations, held a national symposium on Party building in Internet enterprises and a national symposium on Party building in the lawyer industry, introduced policies and measures to strengthen Party building in Internet enterprises and the lawyer industry, organized the implementation of the three-year action plan of "double promotion" in Party building in Internet enterprises, and improved the operating mechanism of local two new working committees.

  All localities have overcome difficulties and promoted party building in non-public enterprises and social organizations to improve quality and efficiency.

  — — Comprehensively improve the quality of party organization coverage. All localities have worked out arrangements, established and consolidated, and established a management system and work pattern in which local party committees take the overall responsibility, organizational departments (two new working committees) take the lead in grasping the overall responsibility, industry departments take their own responsibilities, street communities manage at the bottom, and relevant departments combine their functions to promote synergy.

  — — Focus on building a strong party building work force. Establish a system in which the heads of organizational departments and member units of the two new working committees directly contact key enterprises and investors; Select and strengthen the leaders of party organizations and hold regular demonstration training courses; Formulate management measures for selecting and appointing party building instructors, and guide newly-built party organizations to establish rules and regulations and carry out activities.

  — — Focus on key advances and difficult breakthroughs. We will focus on the party building work in various parks, commercial buildings, business circle markets and Internet enterprises, highlight the party building work in social organizations above the provincial level, lawyers, certified public accountants, tax agents, asset appraisal and other industries, and steadily promote the party building work in the reform of decoupling trade associations, chambers of commerce and administrative organs.

  With the development of Internet economy, a large number of new employment groups such as couriers, take-away delivery agents, network car drivers and truck drivers have emerged. How to strengthen party building in new formats and new employment groups, and unite new employment groups around the party?

  From June to December, 2021, according to the deployment of the CPC Central Committee, Beijing, Zhejiang and Shenzhen launched pilot projects for party building in new formats and new employment groups.

  In order to solve the management problems, the pilot units set up a leading system for party building in large-scale Internet platform enterprises and express logistics industry, and set up industry party committees in areas where express delivery enterprises gather and have a large business volume, relying on postal management departments to guide or directly manage leading enterprises, regional companies and sorting center party organizations; Keep a close eye on the key hub of platform enterprises, promote enterprises to adjust and rationalize the establishment of party organizations along the business structure, extend party organizations to business sectors, branches and project teams, and urge cooperative companies and franchisees to set up party organizations.

  In view of the social and public characteristics of platform enterprises, we should establish and improve the system that party organizations and enterprise management jointly study the major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and discuss major issues with enterprises to stabilize the development direction of enterprises.

  Grasping party building is, in the final analysis, the job of being a man. The pilot units flexibly set up a mobile Party branch in party member to organize the party member among the new employment groups, so as to drive the new employment groups to participate in grassroots governance and industry governance in an orderly manner.

  In the past five years, all localities, departments and units have combined the problem of "being or not" with the problem of "being strong or not", expanded the appeal and cohesion of the party in emerging fields, and United and condensed the most active organizations and people in economic and social development around the party.

  Show the advantages of party building work in the traditional field better.

  "We should regard party building as an important task in running a school, give full play to the role of grass-roots party organizations, strengthen the team building in party member, and make grass-roots party organizations a strong fighting fortress for teaching and educating people in schools" … …

  State-owned enterprises, institutions, universities, public hospitals, primary and secondary schools are related to economic and social development, the health of the people, the future of the country and the party’s ruling foundation.

  Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Party committees at all levels have adhered to the problem orientation, systematically sorted out the weak links in party building work in traditional fields, made efforts to solve problems such as "black under the lamp" and "two skins", pressed down the responsibility of party building work, focused on key tasks and concentrated their efforts, and promoted the party’s leadership to the end and the party’s construction to be implemented.

  Create a political, disciplined, responsible and efficient model organ. All localities, departments and units insist on focusing on the center, building teams and serving the masses, and promote the deep integration and mutual promotion of party building work and business work. Take the lead in "two maintenance" as the primary task of party building, conscientiously implement the basic system of party organization and life, and build a clean and upright political organ. Organize cadres to go deep into the grassroots, the reality and the masses, serve the masses, temper their work style and make contributions in the main battlefield of economic development, the front line of epidemic prevention and control, and the forefront of tackling difficulties, and build a model organ that will reassure the CPC Central Committee and satisfy the people.

  Provide a strong guarantee for strengthening, improving and expanding state-owned enterprises. The Organization Department of the Central Committee and the Party Committee of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council made arrangements and put forward requirements for strengthening the Party’s leadership in improving corporate governance, writing the requirements of party building work into the company’s articles of association, and further clarifying the leadership and guidance responsibilities of party committees (party groups) of central enterprises for directly affiliated enterprises (units). All localities, departments and units conscientiously implement the regulations on the work of grass-roots party organizations in state-owned enterprises, implement the spirit of the national conference on party building in state-owned enterprises, promote the organic unity of strengthening party leadership and improving corporate governance, improve the leadership system of "two-way entry and cross-employment", formulate a demonstration text of the list of pre-research items for party organizations in state-owned enterprises, and promote the deep integration of party building work and production and operation.

  The party’s leadership runs through the whole process of running a school and educating people. The Party Group of the Organization Department of the Central Committee and the Ministry of Education refined the key tasks of party building in colleges and universities, further clarified the responsibilities of party building in subordinate colleges and universities, and improved the specific system of principal responsibility system under the leadership of party committees in colleges and universities. All localities, departments and colleges and universities should improve the organizational system of the Party in colleges and universities, improve the system and working mechanism of party building, comprehensively strengthen the construction of party organizations in departments and colleges and the party branches of teachers and students, and continue to promote the cultivation project of "double leaders". Promote local party committees to fulfill their territorial management responsibilities, and competent ministries and commissions to fulfill their party management responsibilities in combination with the construction of leading bodies.

  Continue to strengthen the party building work in public hospitals. All public hospitals in various regions and departments strictly implement the president responsibility system under the leadership of the party Committee, revise and improve the hospital regulations and rules of procedure and decision-making, and make the party’s leadership run through all aspects of medical treatment, teaching, scientific research and management. Pay attention to the development of medical experts, academic leaders and outstanding young medical personnel to join the party. In the epidemic prevention and control, hospital party organizations at all levels firmly stood on the front line of epidemic prevention and control, United and led the majority of medical workers to go out in reverse, took the initiative to undertake urgent and dangerous tasks, and played a mainstay role in the fire line.

  In the past five years, the grass-roots party building work in the traditional field has been continuously strengthened in the reform and innovation, and deepened in the improvement of the system, which has provided a strong guarantee for completing the central task and serving the overall situation of the party and the state, and better demonstrated the organizational function, organizational advantages and organizational strength, and played a leading role in setting an example.

  Strengthen the foundation, build a fortress, and concentrate on the mission. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, more than 4.9 million grass-roots party organizations have built a rock-solid fighting fortress, and more than 96 million party member are becoming vanguard and exemplary entrepreneurs. The creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness of the party have been continuously enhanced, ensuring that our party has always maintained vigorous vitality and vitality.

  On the new journey, Party organizations at all levels and party member will adhere to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, make concerted efforts, blaze new trails, perform their duties and responsibilities, promote high-quality development with high-quality party building, and greet the 20th Party Congress with practical actions.

In addition to Tmall, JD.COM announced that the "Global Good Things Festival" that started on November 1, the cumulative order amount exceeded 100 billion yuan at 7: 46 on November 11, of which air-conditioning sales were three times that of the same period last year, water heater sales were three times that of the same period last year, and TV sales were 2.5 times that of the same period last year … In the "Crazy 2 Hours" of JD.COM 3C Travel Service that started from 0: 00 am to 2: 00 am on November 11, JD.COM’s mobile phone category was 41.

Suning.cn also announced that at 8: 52 on the 11th, omni-channel sales broke the all-day record of "double 11" last year. By 12: 00, Suning’s omni-channel growth was 182%, of which online growth was 227%.

This year is the ninth "double 11" and the first "double 11" under the background of "new retail". According to Zhang Yong, CEO of Alibaba Group, as the largest shopping festival in the world, this year’s "double 11" not only shows the vitality of China’s economy and consumers’ strong demand for consumption upgrading, but also becomes an important stage to show the great synergy of commercial forces and the deep integration of online and offline. "New business phenomena and forces are sprouting in’ double 11′, and they will become representatives of emerging productive forces in the future." Zhang Yong said.

Synergistic resonance of industrial chain

At 0: 12 on 11th, the first order of Tmall "double 11" was signed in Shanghai. At 0: 14, Suning.cn’s first order was signed in Beijing.

The State Post Bureau predicts that during the "double 11" this year, the postal industry will handle more than 1.5 billion pieces of mail and express mail, an increase of 35% over the same period last year. But this year, regardless of speed or quantity, the logistics link has performed brilliantly. According to the data from JD.COM, as of 16: 00 on the 11th, the number of successful delivery orders in JD.COM exceeded 6.38 million. According to the rookie, at 18: 49, the logistics order volume of Tmall "double 11" exceeded 657 million, surpassing the whole day order volume last year. By 16: 00, customers in 340 cities (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) had received the parcels placed on the same day, among which Shanghai, Chengdu and Guangzhou ranked in the top three, and western logistics had been on a par with the central and eastern regions.

The biggest thrust for the improvement of logistics efficiency comes from science and technology. In this year’s "double 11", Jingdong Logistics has been fully put into use in 13 "Asia No.1" smart logistics centers such as Beijing, Qingdao, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan, as well as the world’s first unmanned warehouse in the whole process, Kunshan unmanned sorting center and Wuhan unmanned warehouse independently developed. Xu Yinghui, head of the artificial intelligence department of rookie network, said that before the arrival of "double 11", the hot-selling goods and hot-selling areas were accurately predicted by artificial intelligence algorithms, so that merchants could sink and store "double 11" goods in different cities in advance. "Smart warehouse distribution network allows the goods to arrive before they are bought, so that orders can be transported nearby."

The improvement of scientific and technological level is not limited to enterprises. At 8: 08 am on the 11th, the customs declaration data of the 5 millionth single cross-border e-commerce import goods generated by Tmall "double 11" passed the customs smoothly, and it took 57 hours to complete this single quantity last year. This is precisely because before "double 11", under the guidance of the Science and Technology Department of the General Administration, the science and technology department of the customs system carried out intra-system collaboration and inter-enterprise collaboration. Taking Hangzhou Customs, Ningbo Customs and Guangzhou Customs as examples, through joint rehearsal, the processing capacity of the cross-border customs clearance system has tripled to quadrupled.

Besides logistics, another important supporting force of double 11 is payment. This year’s "double 11", a new peak of payment and database processing was born at the same time, with a peak of 256,000 payments per second, which was 1.1 times higher than last year. At the same time, a peak of database processing was born, with 42 million transactions per second. Whether it’s the major banks, payment platforms, or the latest network that has entered the "double 11" ecology this year, all parties involved in the complicated payment process are also "calm" in the face of the extreme peak.

This shows that, driven by technology and data, all aspects of the consumer Internet ecosystem have begun to form synergies, and the trend of "resonance" has become very obvious, and the "amplitude" is also expanding. This not only makes "parents" buy more happily, but also leaves a broad space for online and offline integration.

Online and offline "water and milk blend"

"Our four brands in the whole group have 8,000 offline stores all over the country. Before this morning, we used these stores to send out 400,000 packages that consumers’ double 11 ordered online. In this way, consumers can receive the goods as soon as possible today. If not, they can only deliver the goods through the group’s three warehouses in Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou, which is much slower. " The omni-channel retail director of Lingzhi Fashion Group told the reporter. The logic behind store delivery is that online and offline goods are completely opened.

This year, the energy of "double 11" and "new retail" generate is clearly reflected. Located in the atrium of the Global Harbor Shopping Center in Putuo District, Shanghai, "Unilever pop-up shop" welcomed more than 3,000 consumers in half a day. They grabbed online coupons in the game, listened to product introductions with virtual reality technology, and even experienced on-site modeling. This store does not sell a product, but before participating in all the experience links, consumers need to scan the QR code and pay attention to Unilever’s online store. "This is not only to drain online, but also to get members from offline. More importantly, consumers have changed and need brands to arouse their interest. In this regard, offline is obviously more advantageous in user experience. " Pop-up shop Sun Jie of Unilever said.

After the opening of goods and traffic, the opening of online and offline data is still giving birth to new business forms. Chen Xiaodong, CEO of Yintai Group, said frankly: "Three years ago, Yintai only had’ double 11′ as the same price when the antenna went online. This year,’ same price’ has become a regular service. By unifying the price, we can truly integrate online and offline. People can scan the code and place orders independently, and deliver them to their homes, and the services for members can also be unified online and offline. "

The relationship between online and offline has been completely changed. The data shows that offline stores covering 52 core business districts in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou participated in this year’s "double 11", with a total of 1 million offline stores participating in "double 11". The total business area of all offline stores participating in the event is conservatively estimated to be over 120 square kilometers, equivalent to 580 "Bird’s Nest". Cao Lei, director of China E-commerce Research Center, a market research institution, said: "The core of’ new retail’ is the comprehensive opening of data on consumer-centered membership, payment, inventory and services. The linkage between online and offline circulation industries will definitely bring far-reaching influence to the future development of China’s commerce." (Reporter Chen Jing Cui Guoqiang)

Logic and Policy Suggestions of Digital Economy Boosting Service Trade

Text/Chunmin Zhao, Professor and Doctoral Supervisor of School of Economics and Business Administration, Beijing Normal University; Wen Lei, lecturer and doctor of capital university of economics and business Institute of Economics.

The rapid development of digital economy and service trade, and the driving relationship between them, is one of the outstanding performances of China’s entry into WTO for 20 years. With the global epidemic of COVID-19, the downward pressure on the world economy has been increasing, the process of economic globalization has suffered serious setbacks, protectionism, populism and unilateralism have gradually risen, and international trade and international investment have fallen sharply, which has brought great challenges to the high-quality development of China’s service trade. Therefore, how to use the digital economy to promote the high-quality development of China’s service trade has become an important issue after China’s service trade has entered a new stage of development.

First, the role of digital economy and service trade in promoting national economic growth

With the rapid growth of China economy entering a new stage of high-quality growth, the role of digital economy in promoting national economic growth has become increasingly prominent. According to statistics, the added value of China’s digital economy was only 2.6 trillion yuan in 2005, and it soared to 39.2 trillion yuan in 2020, and its proportion in GDP also increased from 14.2% in 2005 to 38.6% in 2020. With the global epidemic in COVID-19 and the increasing downward pressure on the world economy, the digital economy has become the key for China to cope with the economic downturn. The White Paper on the Development of Digital Economy in China (2021) shows that China’s digital economy will grow by 9.5% year-on-year in 2020, which is 7.2 percentage points higher than the nominal GDP growth rate in the same period; The scale of digital economy in 13 provinces and cities such as Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shandong exceeds 1 trillion yuan, and the added value of digital economy in Beijing and Shanghai accounts for more than 50% of GDP. From the vertical dimension, China’s digital economy has also experienced a long period of rapid expansion. From 2005 to 2020, the scale of digital economy has increased by 15.08 times, with an average annual growth rate of 18.48%, while the GDP has only increased by 5.55 times and the average annual growth rate is only 11.3%. From the perspective of value-added accounting, the contribution rate of digital economy to national economic growth is also significantly improved. From 2014 to 2020, the contribution rate of China’s digital economy to GDP growth exceeded 50%. The COVID-19 epidemic has promoted the rapid development of e-commerce retail, online office and other businesses, which has greatly released the potential of digital economy.In 2020, the contribution rate of digital economy to GDP growth is close to 70%, while the contribution rates of the three major industries in GDP in the same period are 7.7%, 37.8% and 54.5% respectively. In addition, the advantages of digital technology in anti-epidemic practice and social governance have gradually emerged. China has widely applied digital technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence in anti-epidemic activities such as epidemic monitoring, virus tracing, prevention and rescue, which not only provides effective and valuable experience for the international community’s epidemic prevention and control, but also fully taps the huge potential contained in the online model of social governance in the unprecedented changes in the past century.

Similar to the development of digital economy, China’s service industry and service trade also ushered in rapid development during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, and important progress was made in the opening of service industry and the innovative development of service trade. The Research Report on the Development of China’s Service Trade Industry (2020) pointed out that from 2016 to 2019, the output value of China’s service industry increased by 6.6% annually, especially under the adverse impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, China’s service industry still rose against the trend in 2020, with a year-on-year increase of 2.1%; Compared with offline retail, transportation, accommodation and catering, new consumption patterns closely related to digital technology, such as online shopping, live delivery, community sharing and direct delivery in stores, have grown strongly. Take live broadcast with goods as an example. In the first half of 2020 alone, the scale of live stream economy reached 563 billion yuan, and the economic scale indirectly produced by live broadcast also reached 283.3 billion yuan. Compared with the development of service industry, China’s service trade has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. In 2020, the import and export amount of China’s service trade was 4.56 trillion yuan, down by 15.7% year-on-year, which was far from the growth rate of 1.9% of goods trade. However, compared with the negative growth of total trade volume, there are still some gratifying changes in China’s service trade: First, the trade deficit has been greatly reduced. Compared with 2019, China’s service trade deficit dropped from 1.51 trillion yuan to 0.69 trillion yuan in 2020, down 53.88% year-on-year. Second, the trade structure has improved significantly.Knowledge-intensive service products have become the main force of China’s service trade import and export. In 2020, the total import and export volume reached 2.03 trillion yuan, up 8.3% year-on-year. Compared with 2019, the share in service trade has also increased significantly, increasing to 44.5%. Third, important progress has been made in opening up the service industry. Since the establishment of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone in 2013, China has successively established 21 free trade zones, and put forward a series of differentiated pilot tasks based on the characteristics and advantages of each region; The number of service outsourcing demonstration cities has increased to 31, and the service trade volume of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pan-Pearl River Delta accounts for 60.6% of China’s service trade. In particular, the newly established Beijing Free Trade Zone in 2020, relying on Beijing’s position and advantages in China’s service industry opening and digital economy development, will mainly focus on the service industry, especially the development of digital economy and digital trade, and create a new highland for China’s service trade opening strategy.

As an important part of the digital economy and the most important manifestation of the internationalization of the digital economy, China’s digital trade ushered in a vigorous development during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period. According to statistics, China’s digital trade volume was 200 billion US dollars in 2015, and it has increased to 294.76 billion US dollars by 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 8.07%. In the same period, the proportion of digital trade in service trade has also increased from 30.6% to 44.5%. The Report on Digital Trade Cooperation and Development 2021 shows that the scale of China’s digital service trade will rank fifth in the world in 2020 and become the only developing country among the top five global digital trade. The international competitiveness of enterprises in the digital economy has been continuously improved, and the trade volume of digital services has gradually turned from US$ 14.82 billion in 2011 to a surplus. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, except for 2017, the export volume of digital trade in China was greater than the import volume, and by 2020, the surplus difference would be US$ 14.77 billion. As far as the digital trade sub-sectors are concerned, information and communication technology services (ICT) are the areas where the export share has increased the fastest and contributed the most to the growth in the past 10 years. From 2011 to 2020, the share of ICT services in China’s digital service exports increased by 19.7 percentage points. At present, China has become the largest source of international patent applications among the member countries of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), especially in the digital technology fields such as 5G, blockchain and artificial intelligence, ranking first in the world.A large number of ICT enterprises with international competitiveness have emerged.

Second, the theoretical logic of the digital economy to promote the high-quality development of service trade

The digital economy promotes the high-quality development of service trade mainly based on the digitalization of trade methods and trade objects. The former means that with the development of information and communication technologies such as 5G, big data and cloud computing, the traditional service trade mode is becoming more and more digital and intelligent. By strengthening the integration and penetration of digital technology and trade mode, the cost of service trade is reduced and the efficiency is improved; The latter means that with the data becoming a new factor of production, and the gradual formation of the data trading market and the improvement of the data trading system, more and more service trade products are spread in the form of data, or even exist directly in the form of data, thus expanding the scope of existing service trade products and expanding the breadth and depth of service trade.

(A) the impact of digital trade mode

1. Reduce the cost of trade in services

Since 1980s, with the transformation of global economy from "industrial economy" to "service economy", the status and role of service industry, especially modern service industry, has become more and more prominent in the world economy. However, compared with the service industry, the development of global service trade is relatively backward. According to statistics, the proportion of service trade in global cross-border trade in 2020 is only about 1/5, which is far behind the proportion of service industry in global GDP. The reason for this phenomenon is related to the industry attributes of the service industry itself: on the one hand, whether it is traditional service industries such as tourism and transportation, or modern service industries such as information and communication, finance and education, most services require production and consumption at the same time and place, which makes it difficult for domestic service providers to directly provide services to foreign consumers. In addition, service products are invisible, easy to disappear, inseparable and easy to copy, which makes it difficult for service products to use offline logistics systems to achieve overseas sales through cargo transportation like agriculture and manufacturing. Therefore, compared with traditional trade in goods, the cost of developing trade in services is higher. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) compared the trade costs of the three major industries, and found that the trade costs of the service industry were much higher than those of agriculture and industry, especially those of commerce, retail and other industries with prominent geographical attributes. On the other hand, because the personal necessities of life are directly related to the service industries such as commerce, transportation, education and medical care, ordinary residents have a stronger sense of the dynamic development of their service industries than the agricultural and industrial sectors.In addition, education, finance, medical care and other industries have great influence on a country’s traditional culture, social psychology, macroeconomic growth and other important socio-economic factors. Countries are relatively conservative in opening up key service sectors, and often impose many restrictions on foreign enterprises based on political, economic and cultural interests. Therefore, compared with other industries, countries have stricter regulatory policies and barriers to the service industry, which also increases the cost of foreign service enterprises and service products entering the domestic market.

With the deepening of the integration and penetration of information and communication technology and international trade, new trade formats and models have been born, which has alleviated the information asymmetry in traditional international trade, thus effectively reducing trade costs. The development of international trade depends largely on the collection, processing and application of market information, and information communication technology has changed the way of information transmission and improved the efficiency and quality of information transmission of foreign trade enterprises, thus playing a great role in reducing market segmentation and promoting the development of service trade. As far as information acquisition is concerned, under the traditional trade mode, enterprises usually conduct detailed overseas research when entering new markets or looking for new customers, so as to fully collect information such as policy trends, market conditions and customer credit. Obviously, although these methods help to reduce the risk of foreign trade, the upfront cost of investment is also large. The extensive use of information technology enables enterprises to fully understand overseas market information through online search engines and digital advertisements, thus greatly reducing the cost of information collection. As far as information output is concerned, digital technologies such as internet, microprocessor and information communication provide more efficient and cheap ways for enterprises to promote their markets. Compared with establishing marketing channels and choosing below-the-line, foreign trade enterprises not only have lower cost, but also can achieve accurate delivery based on customer types by using online advertising or establishing virtual websites. The inherent trading mode based on fixed time and fixed real place is replaced by the digital exchange at any time and any place under the cross-border e-commerce integrated service platform.Both the hard constraints of physical space-time and fixed-time regulation are relaxed, thus providing unlimited possibilities for service enterprises to enter the global market.

Digitalization of trade mode reduces trade cost, which is also reflected in the organic combination of information flow, capital flow and goods flow. In traditional international trade, cross-border logistics has long time, many links, long distance and high cost, and it also involves complex issues such as customs clearance procedures in different countries. Payment in advance, letter of credit and other payment methods crowd out enterprise funds, which makes the return period of enterprise funds longer and increases risks. With the development of digital technology, especially the digitalization of cross-border trade comprehensive services such as market information services, logistics information services and payment and settlement services provided by cross-border e-commerce platform enterprises, the degree of integration of enterprise capital flow, goods flow and information flow is deepening, which greatly reduces the operating costs of foreign trade enterprises. In terms of platform intermediary services, some large cross-border e-commerce companies have entered the international market one after another, extending their service targets from domestic to overseas. In terms of market information services, big data service enterprises or platforms that provide data analysis and data docking came into being, which can not only help enterprises to update market information in time and improve production and operation performance, but also help enterprises to select products efficiently and increase sales through big data analysis. In terms of cross-border payment services, many intermediate links of collection and payment, including collection, exchange, payment and financing, can obtain "one-stop" financial services through the cross-border e-commerce payment platform. According to the report of China Payment and Clearing Association, RMB cross-border payment system handled 1,884,300 transactions in 2019, amounting to 33.93 trillion yuan, up by 30.64% and 28.28% respectively.

2. Improve the efficiency of service trade

With the application and development of digital technology, digital technologies such as 5G, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence are constantly being used in the process of transaction circulation and production management. In the transaction circulation, foreign trade service enterprises and foreign trade regulatory agencies are increasingly using digital technology, including digital terminals such as smart phones, intelligent robots and laptops, as well as services based on digital technology such as the Internet, search engines and e-commerce platforms, thus greatly improving the efficiency of serving foreign trade enterprises to participate in the global market. In the production management, in the process of digital transformation, the service outsourcing trend of enterprise digital delivery is becoming more and more obvious, including not only the digital service outsourcing of traditional business processes such as human resource management, financial audit and back-office support, but also the information technology outsourcing such as software research and development, platform support and information system maintenance. The continuous refinement of the production process and the vigorous development of digital and information service outsourcing not only create more opportunities for international division of labor, but also facilitate enterprises to efficiently divide production links in the areas with the most comparative advantages in the international market.

In addition, the improvement of service trade efficiency by digital technology is also reflected in its influence on supply chain and value chain. With the increasing application of digital technology in supply chain management, the synergy efficiency of upstream and downstream enterprises in the same supply chain or value chain is improved, and the procurement cost, logistics cost and marketing cost are greatly reduced, which is conducive to enterprises to form new advantages in the international competitive environment. In fact, the optimization of supply chain by digital economy is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, enterprises can realize the resource integration of upstream suppliers by using digital economy, and through the in-depth value and quality evaluation of upstream suppliers, it will help foreign trade enterprises to make the most cost-effective procurement; Second, based on digital recognition functions such as big data and cloud computing, enterprises can more effectively distinguish and master the differences of consumer preferences in different regions, and can accurately locate the target population through personalized and customized products to obtain the highest income. According to the WTO research report, digital technology makes supply chain management change from a linear model to a more comprehensive model in which information flows in multiple directions at the same time. Market information is more diverse, open and transparent, so enterprises can transmit and obtain information more quickly in the new global value chain, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of global division of labor. In fact, the traditional chain of division of labor in the value chain is long, including R&D design, marketing and after-sales service with high added value, as well as assembly, processing and transportation manufacturing with low added value. Too many intermediate links lead to the profit margins of the upstream and downstream of the value chain being diluted and compressed layer by layer.The cross-border comprehensive business service platform based on digitalization and intelligence removes the intermediate links, which helps to realize the direct interactive docking between supply and demand, and can optimize and innovate different links in the value chain division system in time through real-time market feedback. Therefore, with the popularization and use of digital technology, the cost of service trade enterprises has been reduced and the efficiency of new global value chain division has been improved.

3. Affect the opportunities for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises to participate in the global market.

As mentioned above, the application of digital technology will have an important impact on supply chain management and value chain division, but how to affect the participation of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in the global market is still uncertain. As pointed out in the White Paper on the Development and Impact of Digital Trade (2019), digital technology first reshapes the production process, especially technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing technology, and automated production, which reduce the degree of coordination demand for division of labor between countries and enterprises. With the continuous integration of upstream and downstream links in the division of labor chain, the length of the value chain is greatly shortened, which may reduce the opportunities for small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in developing countries to participate in the division of labor in the value chain. Secondly, according to the new trade theory, enterprises need to pay some sunk costs to enter the export market, including overseas market research, marketing channel establishment and advertising expenses, etc. Many small and medium-sized enterprises may find it difficult to enter the export market because they cannot pay these upfront costs. The emergence of digital technology, especially the cross-border integrated service platform, has greatly reduced the cost of coordination and matching, thus creating conditions for the majority of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises to participate in the global market. Thirdly, the integration of digital technology and the real economy has further strengthened the tendency of global production fragmentation, which has gradually exposed the individualized scattered demand of value chain terminals, which has provided new market space for small and medium-sized enterprises. Especially with the digitalization of trade methods, small and medium-sized service foreign trade enterprises can get rid of the complicated, cumbersome and lengthy intermediate links of import and export and focus on improving their operating efficiency and product quality.On the contrary, it may help SMEs to play a more active role in the global value chain.

(B) the impact of digital trading objects

1. Expand the scope of products for trade in services

The Opinions on Building a More Perfect System and Mechanism of Factor Market Allocation regards data as a production factor alongside land, labor, capital and technology, and requires "accelerating the cultivation of data factor market". Compared with other elements, data elements have incomparable advantages in replicability and shareability, unlimited growth and supply, and can break the restriction of limited supply of traditional elements on growth, thus providing a solid foundation for sustained and stable economic development. The value of data elements is not the data itself, but the value created in the process of data integration with other production factors. This kind of value appreciation and its stimulating effect are exponential. More importantly, data elements can improve the allocation efficiency and use efficiency of traditional elements such as labor, capital, technology and land, and improve the efficiency of enterprises in the actual production process by providing more efficient and convenient digital public services. In addition, data elements can create more material wealth and service products with less material resources, which may have a substitution effect on traditional production factors. For example, due to the impact of mobile payment, the number and business premises of traditional bank outlets and ATMs have been greatly reduced. Boston Consulting Group (BCG) estimates that the popularity of Internet and mobile payment has reduced China’s traditional offline payment infrastructure by at least 1 trillion yuan in the past 10 years. It is precisely because of the increasingly prominent role of data elements in the production process and the actual economic growth process that many countries, such as the United States, Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands, South Korea, China and so on, have successively put forward big data strategies.Promote the development of China’s big data industry by increasing investment in technology research and development, strengthening basic databases and promoting open data sharing.

With data becoming a new factor of production, with the emergence of online virtual cloud storage with lower cost and more optimized methods, and the rapid upgrade iteration of hardware and terminal equipment such as smart phones and in-vehicle intelligent terminals, more and more products and services in international trade also appear in the form of data, including traditional digital products such as books, audio-visual products and software, as well as new digital services such as education, medical care and social media provided online. Limited by the fact that the production and consumption of service products are in the same place at the same time, services such as taxis, beauty salons, accommodation and catering in the digital age will continue to be provided locally and need the support of physical departments. However, in the service industries with high digitalization such as retail, software development and business process outsourcing, the trend of "de-localization" and globalization is becoming more and more obvious. Thanks to digital technology and the empowerment of Internet platform, many non-tradable service departments that were previously limited by time and space have become highly tradable through online remote delivery. For example, education, as an important field of service industry, is traditionally provided by local teachers to local students, so it is difficult to cover areas designated by local education authorities, and its strong exclusiveness leads to insufficient competition. The quality of education is greatly influenced by regional economic development, teachers’ strength and social concepts, and there are great differences among countries, regions and even communities. Under the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, many areas stopped on-site teaching and replaced it with online and offline mixed teaching or cloud education. This new type of education has broken through the limitation of time and space.Any organization and individual with Internet access all over the world can access relevant educational resources. More and more teaching procedures, such as preview, teaching, answering questions, and even some types of exams can be performed remotely.

2. Reshaping the global value chain

With the improvement of the data trading market, the data elements flow faster between different industries or even within the same industry, which promotes the sharing of knowledge and technology throughout the industry, accelerates the industrial integration, accelerates the digital transformation process of traditional industries and strives to move towards the high end of the global value chain, which not only gives birth to a large number of new service trade formats and new models, but also realizes the reshaping of the global value chain. On the one hand, more and more cross-border digital products and services have entered the global value chain driven by digital technology. With the acceleration of the integration of digital technology and various production links in the industrial chain, the transaction process between the upstream and downstream links of the value chain is highly transparent and the transaction cost is greatly reduced, which provides the possibility for further refining and integrating the division of labor system of the value chain between different production links. Specifically, this effect is reflected in three aspects: first, in order to focus on more efficient production links, some enterprises will separate their own production or service products that do not have comparative advantages and distribute them to more advantageous areas for production through outsourcing; Second, a new generation of information and communication technologies represented by big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, 5G networks, blockchain, etc. create more new products and services on the production side, which in turn are further embedded or transformed into existing global value chains through digital technology; Third, digital technology promotes those specialized services that focus on the local market to "go global" and integrate into the global value chain system more quickly and efficiently.

On the other hand, cross-border digital products and services have changed the law of income distribution in global value chains. In the traditional value chain division system, the links at both ends of the "smile curve" create more value-added and earn the vast majority of the total profits of the industry. With the increasing application of digital technology, the existing international division of labor system has changed, which has also impacted the income distribution pattern of value chain to some extent. First of all, the value creation level of upstream and downstream production links of the "smile curve" has been further improved. In fact, compared with the manufacturing process, digital services are applied more frequently at both ends of the "smile curve". This integration process makes the whole digital service more dispersed and the tradability greatly increased, which creates conditions for the production of products and services with higher complexity. Secondly, the value creation ability of processing and manufacturing links in the middle of "smile curve" gradually decreases. The application of digital technology has accelerated the process of industrial automation and modularization, and the traditional manufacturing processes in the middle of the value chain have become more and more standardized. However, the value added created by standardized production may be gradually reduced because it is difficult to meet the individual needs of users. For example, in order to meet the requirements of online travel agencies, the products and services provided by various travel providers are becoming more and more standardized; Combined with the change of income distribution law in the value chain, many processing and manufacturing enterprises that were originally engaged in intermediate links have extended to both ends of the value chain one after another, and further integrated the knowledge and information stored in this production link by using digital technology.On this basis, the front-end and back-end digital products and services are developed, which not only promotes the digital transformation of enterprises, but also exports digital services.

Third, the main challenges faced by the digital economy to promote the high-quality development of service trade

(A) the integration of digital technology and service foreign trade enterprises may give birth to new risks.

The promotion of service trade by digital economy mainly depends on the digitalization of trade methods and trade objects. Whether it is the digitalization of trade mode or trade object, it requires the gradual coordination and integration of digital technology and production service process. However, the process of using digital technology itself contains new risks, which may lead to new risks in the digital transformation of service foreign trade enterprises. Specifically, this risk is mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, because the network environment has the characteristics of virtualization, strong accessibility and connectivity, and it is difficult to supervise, illegal and criminal activities such as cyber terrorism, online gambling, and online money laundering by using digital currency may take a ride in the digital transformation of foreign trade enterprises and further develop. These activities are wide-ranging, dangerous and concealed, and pose serious harm to national security. Second, the key to the digitalization of trade objects lies in data, and with the blessing of information and communication technology and microelectronics technology, the liquidity of data, a new production factor, is constantly increasing. Data contains a lot of consumer information, and the acceleration of data flow also aggravates the risk of consumer privacy being violated. For example, the "big data killing" that has been widely criticized in China means that businesses use digital technologies such as big data and cloud computing to analyze consumers’ preferences, consumption levels and consumption habits, adopt differential pricing in market transactions, and sell the same goods or services to consumers at different prices, resulting in that old users or members may even spend more on purchasing these products than new users. Third,Digitalization of trade mode increases the risk of infringing intellectual property rights and stealing business information and digital assets. Compared with offline transactions, counterfeiting and piracy in digital service trade are more difficult to control. The risks existing in the process of digital transformation of the above-mentioned service foreign trade enterprises can be regarded as "original risks". On this basis, in order to protect national security, public interests and citizens’ privacy, countries will strictly control service trade platforms and service products, which may induce "secondary risks". There are great differences among countries in the concept, rules and measures of digital trade control. The control behavior of one country may not conform to the control rules of other countries, which may lead to international disputes and affect the normal development of global service trade.

(B) The digital transformation of service foreign trade enterprises may aggravate the ethical problems of algorithms.

In the process of digital transformation of service foreign trade enterprises, algorithm is at the core. The algorithm here is not limited to abstract mathematical structure algorithm, but under the guidance of specific goals, one or more algorithms are executed in programs, software or information systems, and the results that can support people’s decision-making are obtained based on complex rules. There are many kinds of algorithms, although some of the recommended algorithm decisions have little influence on people, but the algorithm decisions in employment evaluation, crime evaluation, credit loan and so on may affect the interests of individuals and even some races. Moreover, a small mistake or discrimination in algorithm decision-making will evolve into multiplication effect or chain effect in subsequent decision-making, which will have a serious impact on individuals, groups and society. In addition, the algorithm has more and more life attributes, and the algorithm discrimination in the algorithm decision-making process is more likely to lead to ethical risks, such as discriminating according to the user’s gender, income or race based on the calculation results of big data, "killing big data", etc. Its essence is to further extend the inherent discrimination consciousness, cultural prejudice and social categorization tendency of human beings in the algorithm programming. Firstly, the ethical problems of algorithm come from the quality of data, that is, the original data collected are incomplete, incorrect, missing samples, and lack of protection of sensitive attributes, which leads to the result of "bringing in problems and bringing out problems" and forms a self-fulfilling discriminatory feedback loop. Secondly, the prejudice embedding in the algorithm model intensifies the algorithm ethics. Algorithm designers and program developers may consciously or unconsciously embed negative consciousness such as self-carried discrimination and prejudice in the coding process.Leading to the final result of non-neutrality. Thirdly, the algorithm ethics reflects the opacity of the algorithm process to some extent. Algorithm decision-making is usually completed by a large number of engineers with different division of labor, which contains a large number of rules that are difficult to detect. In addition, the input and output of the algorithm are unpredictable due to the processing speed of the machine and a large number of potential operating variables, which makes it particularly difficult to make manual intervention and real-time monitoring of algorithm decision-making.

(3) The giant e-commerce service platform is suspected of platform monopoly.

Digital technology greatly reduces the cost of service trade and improves trade efficiency by objectifying trade methods. In this process, the emergence of cross-border e-commerce integrated service platform has played a decisive role. However, for small and medium-sized platforms and small and micro enterprises, the unfair behavior of some giant e-commerce service platforms based on the competitive advantages of users, data, algorithms and capital may make their living environment and competitive environment worse. For example, there will be a positive promotion between the consumers who use the platform and the merchants who enter the platform, which will make it easier for the big platform to attract merchants and accumulate users, so it will have an advantage in operating costs, and under the influence of Matthew effect, a situation of "winners take all the food, losers take the overall plan" will be formed. At the same time, users are easy to form path dependence on the platform, and are often forced to compromise the unfair behavior and unfavorable contract terms of large platforms. Based on its powerful data and economic resources, the giant platform hides the unfair predatory competition process behind the scenes, which not only damages the competitive market environment, but also brings great challenges to the supervision work.

(D) digital technology to promote the development of service trade is restricted by the digital divide.

The foundation of digital technology to promote the high-quality development of service trade lies in digital technology itself. However, what needs to be seen is that digital technology is transforming people’s lives at an unprecedented speed and scale. While bringing huge opportunities, it may also create new inequalities because it is difficult for everyone to share digital dividends. Among them, the digital divide is a prominent manifestation. This inequality is manifested in many aspects, including the inequality in digital infrastructure and digital rules at the national or regional level, as well as the inequality caused by the limitation of digital access and output of some social groups. Specifically, the digital divide includes three types: one is the difference in access level caused by digital communication technology, for example, it is difficult for some African countries to use the Internet and smart phones due to the limitation of digital infrastructure; Second, the differences in the use of digital communication technology, such as the elderly or low-skilled labor force, it is difficult to use upgraded smart phones or laptops because they cannot master the updated operation methods; Third, the differences in the use of information resources to participate in social life caused by information inequality, such as the difference in the degree of Internet use, will have a significant impact on family asset selection, employment and wages, entrepreneurship, and agricultural land transfer. With the digital divide becoming more and more obvious, its negative impact on social life is gradually emerging, which will not only create a new gap between the rich and the poor, but also aggravate the existing social and economic inequality. Especially in the case of the accelerated development of digital trade, developing countries have a weak foundation in big data-based technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence.The "digital divide" may further widen its economic and technological gap with developed countries.

Fourth, the path choice of digital economy to promote the high-quality development of service trade

(1) Improve the transaction and circulation system of data elements to provide security for the digital economy to promote the high-quality development of service trade.

The vitality of the data market is inseparable from the legal and compliant circulation of data elements. According to some characteristics of data elements, we should build a multi-level, traceable, supervised, safe and effective data element market to promote the standardization of data element circulation. As a new factor of production, data is an important cornerstone of building a modern economic system. Accordingly, data security has also become an important component of the national security concept. The Tenth Five-Year Plan clearly points out that it is necessary to "comprehensively strengthen the network security guarantee system and capacity building, and earnestly safeguard the security of new fields". At the same time, the Data Security Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), promulgated in 2021, provides a legal basis for ensuring digital security and safeguarding the rights and interests of individuals and organizations in the process of data development and processing. Therefore, a healthy data trading market should have both liquidity and security. First of all, combined with the diversity of data elements, a multi-level market trading system is constructed. Different from standardized goods, data elements are very different in performance, attributes and forms. Even the same original data will form different new data after screening, splitting, adjusting and coding. Therefore, a healthy and orderly data circulation market should reflect the diversity and multi-level of data, and establish an elastic adjustment mechanism to meet the requirements of specific types and scenarios. In addition, according to the different requirements of data security, privacy and sensitivity, the data market can be divided into three different types: completely open, incompletely open and never open. Among them, we should pay special attention to incomplete open data, and combine the data use, data nature, related data and privacy cost of regulatory difficulty, etc.Set different desensitization degrees, usage restrictions and handling requirements. Secondly, use blockchain technology to strengthen the traceability of data. Because the data can be copied, the circulated data is no longer unique to the seller, and if there is a dispute during the transaction, the seller will bear higher risks. Therefore, blockchain technology, which has natural advantages in confirming rights, can be used to record and trace the prior consultation, transaction process and data access of data transactions. When a transaction dispute occurs, the rights holder can prove its legal ownership through the timestamp of the blockchain transaction, and can also trace and detect the undesirable or illegal behavior. Thirdly, use privacy protection technology to ensure data security. The replicability of data itself means that there is a great risk of privacy leakage in the transaction process, and the interception, tampering and resale of the trading platform aggravate the data security problem. This requires that in the process of data generation, circulation and use, the protection standards of data classification and classification should be formulated according to data content and application scenarios, so as to achieve targeted, hierarchical and differentiated data privacy protection and security protection.

(B) actively resolve the ethical issues of algorithms in the digital transformation of service foreign trade enterprises.

To solve the ethical problems of the algorithm, we need to start from three aspects: First, in view of the transparency of the decision evidence of the algorithm, we should strengthen the supervision of the decision evidence involved in the algorithm, including both combing and controlling the whole process of the algorithm beforehand and accurate and effective real-time monitoring during the algorithm process. Specifically, it can be implemented by regularly reviewing the implementation of data processing, or using external regulatory agencies to conduct post-event review, or at any time to retrieve research reports designed to enter the algorithm in time. Second, in view of the value bias of the algorithm subject, we should strengthen the correct guidance of values. The information involved in algorithmic decision-making tends to be personalized and fragmented, but the value ethics contained in it is social. Therefore, we should pay attention to the guidance of the correct values of the algorithm subject. On the one hand, the algorithm is strengthened to screen and filter information, and the value bottom line of fairness and justice of decision-making results is adhered to while improving the efficiency of decision-making process; On the other hand, algorithm decision-making should strengthen "man-machine combination", and "man" should intervene in the process of "machine" algorithm to neutralize and objectify negative values such as discrimination and prejudice, and "machine" can identify the negative values that "man" may hide when inputting and executing programs in time by using the principle of big data, and limit the authority of "man" through appropriate feedback and restraint mechanisms. Thirdly, in view of the infringement of autonomy and privacy caused by algorithm reconstruction, on the one hand, the government can protect the right of the right subject to object or human intervention through legislation and strengthening law enforcement.In order to avoid and punish some data collection agencies in time, they use the principle of economic and security exemption to collect their data illegally without the knowledge or willingness of the right subject. On the other hand, privacy is closely related to the identifiability of information, and it is necessary to weaken the identifiability of individuals through relevant privacy theories. For example, group characteristics can be used to replace individual characteristics to blur the identifiability of individuals, and at the same time, the knowledge and actions involved in individuals should be equally protected in groups.

(3) Strengthen the anti-monopoly supervision of cross-border e-commerce integrated service platforms.

Monopoly market structure reduces the operating efficiency of market economy, destroys competition, and also has a negative impact on consumer welfare and market innovation vitality. Compared with the intermediary sector of the real economy, the large-scale cross-border e-commerce integrated service platform can gain new advantages far beyond the small and medium-sized platforms through network cumulative effect and dynamic competition effect because of its advantages in collecting and processing information, attracting customers and gathering funds. Therefore, the anti-monopoly problems faced by digital platforms are more complicated and arduous. What needs to be clear is that the development of digital platforms cannot undermine reasonable and orderly fair competition in the market. Therefore, based on the implementation and revision of the Anti-Monopoly Law, the anti-monopoly rules of digital platforms should be constructed in line with the new characteristics of digital economy, and revised and improved in time in the practice of supervision and improvement of platforms. However, compared with traditional anti-monopoly, the development of digital platform has its own characteristics in market subject authentication, market boundary determination and market power judgment, which cannot be simply applied. For example, traditional market players can judge whether they have a dominant market position by market share, market concentration and marginal profit. But for digital platforms, high market share, high market concentration and high marginal profit are the only criteria for their own characteristics rather than market power. Therefore, the traditional static analysis of monopoly behavior is inconsistent with the dynamic competitive development of digital platforms. In this case, the anti-monopoly of the digital platform should be more tolerant and flexible than traditional industries, instead of emphasizing strict supervision and heavy punishment. Innovate the concept of supervision,Taking the principle of inclusiveness and prudence as an important governance principle of digital platform supervision, we should seek the theoretical basis and the middle ground of governance principle between over-regulation and over-inclusion, so as to ensure that regulatory measures can not only restrict unreasonable and unfair market competition, but also avoid inhibiting the innovation and creativity of digital economy, a new format and new model.

(D) Bridging the digital divide and providing favorable conditions for the digital economy to help the high-quality development of service trade.

The existence and continuous expansion of the digital divide will lead to more unequal distribution of benefits in the digital economy and have a negative impact on the high-quality development of service trade. For those who are difficult to contact or master the latest digital technology, they cannot expand their social capital, and are often excluded from the digital dividend distribution system, or can only get a very small part from it. And those who are familiar with and can quickly master digital technology can extend and expand the social network by virtue of digital advantages, and turn it into their own economic resources advantages, thus occupying an absolute advantage in the "cake" of dividing digital dividends. Especially after the COVID-19 epidemic has evolved into a global pandemic, the development of digital services such as online shopping, live delivery and online office has created more favorable conditions for the development of digital economy, but the inequality caused by the digital divide has gradually emerged. Therefore, bridging the digital divide and ensuring that the digital dividend contributes to all citizens has become an important issue related to high-quality economic development. First, further improve the digital hardware facilities. The government can support the construction of broadband networks and mobile communication base stations in backward and remote areas through capital allocation and technical assistance, and ensure the steady and accelerated Internet access in remote areas such as the central and western regions by accelerating the deployment of the global low-orbit broadband Internet constellation system. Secondly, strengthen the construction of digital talents. Cultivate digital talents in China through public selection, online training and cross-regional exchanges of outstanding talents in the field of digital economy, and regard professional talents as a bridge and link for the spread of digital technology.Introduce and absorb the advanced experience of digital technology application in developed countries and regions. Thirdly, build a multi-level and distinctive digital literacy training system. We should extensively absorb multiple subjects such as government agencies, educational institutions and social forces to participate in this system, formulate multi-level, multi-disciplinary and multi-component training objectives, and use diversified training systems to improve the country’s digital security maintenance capabilities, digital resource collection and identification capabilities, and digital content creation and output capabilities.

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate issued a typical case of public interest litigation for the protection and prosecution of minors in emerging formats.

CCTV News:According to the website of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, on February 25th, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate released a typical case of emerging formats to govern juvenile protection procuratorial public interest litigation, and summarized and promoted the typical experience of developing emerging formats to govern juvenile protection procuratorial public interest litigation in various places, aiming at consolidating consensus, better safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of minors, and helping to modernize the national governance system and governance capacity.

  There are four cases in this batch, including: the administrative public interest litigation case of Shanghai procuratorate urging to perform the supervision duties of on-demand cinemas, the administrative public interest litigation case of Zhuji Procuratorate of Zhejiang Province urging to perform the supervision duties of e-sports hotels, the administrative public interest litigation case of Renqiu Procuratorate of Hebei Province urging to perform the supervision duties of blind box market, and the administrative public interest litigation case of Minhang District Procuratorate of Shanghai urging to perform the supervision duties of secret room script killing.

  The release of this batch of cases is a pragmatic measure for procuratorial organs to conscientiously implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress and the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC)’s deliberation of the Report of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on the People’s Procuratorate’s Procuratorial Work for Minors. In the governance of emerging formats such as video-on-demand cinemas, e-sports hotels, blind boxes and secret rooms, local procuratorial organs give full play to the advantages of centralized and unified handling of juvenile procuratorial business, actively perform the function of procuratorial public interest litigation according to law, give full play to the role of comprehensive judicial protection, promote "management by myself", promote all parties to fully perform their duties according to law, and actively give full play to the advantages of digital procuratorial work, empower the supervision of emerging formats, and carry out investigation and evidence collection, determine the objects of supervision, and file public interest litigation.

  The person in charge of the Ninth Procuratorate of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate said that the next step of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate will continue to strengthen the guidance for the next business and improve the accuracy, standardization and timeliness of minors’ procuratorial performance; Constantly strengthen the whole society’s understanding of the potential risks, regulatory blind spots and governance difficulties of juvenile protection in emerging formats, promote the coordinated governance of all parties, fill in the shortcomings of social governance of juvenile protection, and escort the healthy growth of minors.

  A typical case of public interest litigation for the protection and prosecution of minors under the governance of emerging formats

  Case 1

  Administrative public interest litigation case of Shanghai procuratorate urging to perform the supervision duty of on-demand cinema

  [Keywords:]

  On-demand Cinema Administrative Public Interest Litigation Integration Performance Industry Governance

  【 gist 】

  In view of the outstanding problems in the protection of minors in VOD cinemas, such as irregular operation, imperfect system and imperfect security measures, the procuratorial organs give full play to the advantages of integration, publicly announce the delivery of procuratorial suggestions, promote the administrative supervision departments to perform their duties, make concerted efforts, promote the supervision of similar cases and the management of complaints, and at the same time promote the self-discipline and autonomy of the industry to achieve a win-win situation in protecting minors and ensuring the healthy development of emerging formats.

  [Basic case]

  In handling the case, the Shanghai procuratorate found that from January to June 2020, some cases of sexual assault against minors occurred in on-demand cinemas. After sampling over 30 video-on-demand cinemas, it is found that there are many problems in video-on-demand cinemas, such as inadequate implementation of registration and filing system, imperfect public security measures, imperfect industry norms and inadequate implementation of protection measures for minors, which infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of minors.

  [Performance of Procuratorial Organs]

  The People’s Procuratorate of Fengxian District, Shanghai found in handling the rape case of Shen Moumou that the places where Shen Moumou had two sexual assaults were all on-demand cinemas. According to the investigation, while the number of video-on-demand cinemas is growing rapidly and being sought after by minors, there are many situations, such as not registering according to law, highly private rooms, providing accommodation services in disguise, and minors can enter and leave at will without identity verification. There are hidden dangers of minors being sexually assaulted or other illegal and criminal acts. The administrative directors and supervision departments of film and cultural law enforcement failed to fully perform their supervision duties on VOD cinemas, which violated the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Minors, Regulations on the Management of VOD Cinema and VOD Cinema, Measures for the Administration of Public Security in Hotel Industry and other laws and regulations, resulting in inadequate supervision and management of VOD cinemas, affecting the physical and mental health of minors and infringing on social public interests.

  In April 2021, Fengxian District People’s Procuratorate filed an administrative public interest lawsuit. On the basis of on-the-spot arrangement, visiting administrative supervision departments and holding seminars, on April 15, it issued procuratorial suggestions to the District Cultural Law Enforcement Brigade and the District Press, Publication and Film Management Office, respectively, and put forward suggestions such as exploring the establishment of a management system for receiving minors in on-demand cinemas, carrying out special inspections in the industry, and strengthening information communication to form a joint force of supervision. The two recommended units attached great importance to it, fully adopted the contents of the procuratorial suggestions, formed a joint inspection team to inspect the on-demand cinemas in the whole district, and jointly issued the "Five Provisions on Minors’ Access to the on-demand cinemas in Fengxian District" with the District Procuratorate and the Public Security Bureau. In May, the District Cultural Law Enforcement Brigade and the District Press, Publication and Film Management Office respectively replied in writing to the Fengxian District People’s Procuratorate on the implementation of the procuratorial suggestions.

  In view of the problem that the supervision of video-on-demand cinemas is not in place, the people’s procuratorates in Pudong, Jing ‘an, Changning and other districts in Shanghai have also promoted comprehensive management by handling public interest litigation cases. On this basis, in September, 2021, the Shanghai Municipal People’s Procuratorate issued a procuratorial proposal to the Shanghai Film Bureau, proposing several suggestions, such as further promoting the standardized rectification activities of the on-demand cinema market, clarifying the regulatory norms of the on-demand cinema operation, improving the protection measures for minors, and guiding the on-demand cinema to strengthen industry autonomy, and simultaneously copying them to the Law Enforcement Corps of the Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau and the Market Supervision Administration Bureau, so as to promote multi-departments to perform their duties in a coordinated manner. In order to further build consensus and arouse the attention of all sectors of society to the protection of minors involved in on-demand cinemas, the Shanghai Municipal People’s Procuratorate held a public announcement of procuratorial suggestions, inviting the heads of relevant departments of the suggested units and copied units, as well as some representatives of the Municipal People’s Congress, CPPCC members, people’s supervisors of the Municipal Procuratorate and invited supervisors to participate, listen to the introduction of relevant units on the rectification plan and initial implementation, and discuss governance measures.

  After receiving the procuratorial suggestions, the suggested units attached great importance to it and took effective measures to standardize the governance of the VOD cinema industry. With the active promotion of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Procuratorate, the Shanghai Film Bureau, the Law Enforcement Corps of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, together with the Public Security Bureau and the Market Supervision Administration, concentrated on the market regulation and rectification activities of the city’s on-demand cinemas, and inspected more than 1,400 related places, filed 11 cases for punishment, and shut down more than 240 unqualified cinemas, which significantly improved the market regulation of on-demand cinemas. The Municipal Film Bureau also guided Shanghai Film Distribution and Exhibition Association to set up the first professional management committee of VOD cinema in China, issued industry norms, and unified norms on public security management in places, protection measures for minors, implementation of mandatory reporting system, etc., filled the gaps in laws and regulations, and led the business model of VOD cinema to the track of legal development.

  [Typical meaning]

  As a new mode of cultural entertainment, video-on-demand cinema not only meets the growing needs of people’s cultural life, but also should pay attention to the hidden risks of protecting minors. Shanghai procuratorial organs give full play to the advantages of the integration of the upper and lower courts in performing their duties. While punishing the crimes of sexual assault against minors according to law, they are keenly aware of the clues of public interest litigation cases. On the basis of determining the objects of supervision according to the actual situation, they promote the relevant functional departments to clarify their rights and responsibilities and make joint efforts by adopting the methods of public announcement, sending procuratorial suggestions to the competent departments of the industry and copying them to other administrative law enforcement departments. It also promoted the establishment of the country’s first professional management Committee for on-demand cinemas, introduced industry autonomy norms, and guided enterprises to operate in compliance, achieving a win-win situation for the protection of minors and the healthy development of emerging formats.

  travel to watch industry

  The People’s Procuratorate of Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province urged to perform the supervision duties of e-sports hotels.

  [Keywords:]

  Special supervision of public hearing of administrative public interest litigation in e-sports hotels

  【 gist 】

  E-sports hotels illegally accept minors, which is easy to breed minors to commit crimes and damage their physical and mental health. Procuratorial organs actively perform their duties, clarify the focus of disputes through public hearings, introduce rules for handling similar cases, clearly improve the regulatory path, urge administrative organs to implement regulatory responsibilities, and promote relevant departments to work together to strengthen supervision of e-sports hotels. Rely on digital empowerment, build supervision modeling, innovate research and development applications, and realize source governance and system governance of emerging industries.

  [Basic case]

  In 2021, the People’s Procuratorate of Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province found that under the background of increasingly standardized supervision of Internet business premises with single format, such as Internet cafes, e-sports hotels accepted many minors to surf the Internet in the form of hotel accommodation with a mixed business model of "accommodation+internet access", which led to many cases involving minors.

  [Performance of Procuratorial Organs]

  Zhuji City People’s Procuratorate found in the theft case of juvenile criminal suspect Chen Moumou and others that Chen Moumou and others used the identity of adults to stay in an e-sports hotel, implemented unlimited Internet access, carried out theft in hotel rooms, and purchased cigarettes and alcohol. E-sports hotels have loopholes in management, failing to strictly carry out identity checks and fulfill the obligations of network protection for minors, and there are problems such as unlicensed operation and illegal sale of tobacco and alcohol to minors, which endanger the physical and mental health of minors.

  After discovering the clues, Zhuji People’s Procuratorate filed an administrative public interest lawsuit in February 2022. Through on-the-spot investigation, asking check-in and service personnel, and issuing questionnaires throughout the city, it is found that there are 11 e-sports hotels in Zhuji since 2021, with 190 e-sports rooms and 480 computers online. E-sports hotels hold special industry licenses for hotels, but all of them use Internet access services such as high-end computers and online games for many people as the main means of attracting; In some e-sports hotels, in order to facilitate minors to stay in e-sports hotels and surf the Internet at will, there are phenomena such as others opening rooms on their behalf, one person opening a room and many people surfing the Internet. Some e-sports hotels illegally sell tobacco and alcohol to minors. This leads to unhealthy behaviors of minors, such as indulging in the Internet, staying out at night, playing truant and dropping out of school, which seriously harms the physical and mental health of minors, and it is urgent to strengthen supervision.

  According to the existing regulations, the e-sports hotel is a mixed business model, and its business nature and supervision subject are not clear. In order to gather consensus from many parties and find a regulatory path, Zhuji Municipal People’s Procuratorate held a public hearing, and invited representatives of administrative organs such as Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television, Market Supervision Bureau, experts and scholars, deputies to the National People’s Congress, members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and public interest litigation observers to serve as hearing officers. At the meeting, the hearing officers fully expressed their opinions on the disputes over the application of the law and practical difficulties, and reached a consensus that e-sports hotels should be under the dual management of hotel accommodation and Internet service business premises, and all departments should form a joint force of supervision and take the initiative to strengthen the supervision and management of emerging formats. On this basis, Zhuji Municipal People’s Procuratorate issued procuratorial suggestions for administrative public interest litigation before litigation to the Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, and issued procuratorial suggestions for social governance to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. It is suggested that it fully perform its supervisory duties in accordance with the law. While supervising the accommodation of e-sports hotels, it is important to strengthen supervision over the acceptance of minors’ unrestricted Internet access in e-sports hotels. After receiving the procuratorial suggestions, the relevant functional departments promptly urged the rectification. In April 2022, they all replied to the Zhuji Municipal People’s Procuratorate, actively adopted and fully implemented the contents of the procuratorial suggestions, punished 16 e-sports hotels according to law, and implemented the "accommodation+internet access" dual registration system for e-sports hotels, and installed online registration management software for computers of e-sports hotels in the city, effectively supervising and managing the problem of unlimited internet access for minors.

  On the basis of case handling, in order to build a mechanism to promote system governance, on March 18th, 2022, Zhuji Municipal People’s Procuratorate, under the leadership of Zhuji Municipal Political and Legal Committee, promoted ten departments, including the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, to issue the Implementation Plan for the Special Governance of the New Business Form of "E-sports Hotel", detailed the division of responsibilities and objectives and tasks, and established mechanisms such as joint meeting, information exchange, clue transfer and collaborative governance. And promote the four departments of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the Municipal Wenguang Tourism Bureau and the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau to issue the "Regulations on Industry Management of E-sports Hotels (Trial)" to promote long-term governance of the industry.

  In the process of promoting the governance of e-sports hotels through case handling, Zhuji Municipal People’s Procuratorate has given full play to the advantages of digital prosecution, empowered minors with big data through digital modeling and governance platform application, and built a comprehensive governance protection network. The first is to build a digital supervision model. By collecting the core data such as the location information of illegal and criminal cases involving minors, the operation information of e-sports hotels and the registration information of minors’ accommodation, the "new format supervision and governance model of e-sports hotels" was built on the Zhejiang procuratorial data application platform. Through the comparative analysis of the above data, the illegal acceptance of minors by e-sports hotels and the illegal and criminal cases of minors in e-sports hotels were sorted out. The second is to strengthen the digital supervision of key personnel and equipment. Through the collision between the registration data of the people staying in the e-sports hotel and the juvenile delinquency data, 46 juvenile delinquents who often go in and out of the e-sports hotel and indulge in the internet and stay out at night are sorted out, and they are included in the "Xinghai Watch" juvenile delinquency prevention and control platform independently developed by Zhuji Municipal People’s Procuratorate to carry out educational correction and graded intervention. Promote relevant departments to install online registration management software for computers in 11 e-sports hotels in the city. After the software is installed, it needs to be registered by real name and face recognition before opening a card to access the Internet. The third is to research and develop applications to improve the governance path. Research and development of "digital supervision application of e-sports hotels", using hotel accommodation registration data, online registration data, and juvenile data collision comparison,Realize the real-time early warning of the follow-up acceptance of minors in the e-sports hotel and the abnormal situation of surfing the Internet, and urge the administrative organs to strengthen supervision by digital means, and improve the "case handling — Case supervision — The long-term governance path of system governance.

  [Typical meaning]

  As a rapidly developing emerging format in recent years, e-sports hotels are favored by many minors. Procuratorial organs actively explore the path of judicial protection of minors in line with digital civilization, find problems through digital supervision system, target treatment through digital application, and promote the clue discovery, investigation and verification, procuratorial supervision and comprehensive treatment of minors involved in e-sports hotels. At the same time, we will actively unite the efforts of minors’ protection, upgrade the experience of case handling to the rules of case-like governance, effectively plug the regulatory loopholes of emerging formats, and promote the comprehensive judicial protection of minors.

  Case 3

  The People’s Procuratorate of Renqiu City, Hebei Province urged the administrative public interest litigation case of performing the supervision duties of the blind box market.

  [Keywords:]

  Comprehensive protection around campus for public hearing of administrative public interest litigation in blind box market

  【 gist 】

  In view of the problem that blind box sales around the campus infringe on the rights and interests of minors, the procuratorial organs earnestly perform their judicial protection duties, comprehensively use public interest litigation and social governance procuratorial suggestions, and use judicial protection to boost the coordinated efforts of the government, schools, society and families to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors.

  [Basic case]

  In recent years, the People’s Procuratorate of Renqiu City, Hebei Province found that various kinds of blind boxes flooded the market around the campus. In view of the characteristics of blindness and addiction of minors’ consumption, operators induce minors to consume impulsively, and take the opportunity to sell blind box products to minors with substandard quality, real products inconsistent with packaging and publicity, and inappropriate content, which infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of minors and harms the public interests.

  [Performance of Procuratorial Organs]

  In March 2022, the People’s Procuratorate of Renqiu City, Hebei Province paid attention to the prevalence of blind box sales around many primary and secondary schools through the CCTV "3.15" party. Some parents also report that their children are addicted to blind box consumption, which affects their physical and mental health. After discovering the clue of the case of protecting minors, Renqiu People’s Procuratorate conducted an investigation on the sales of blind boxes around the local campus, and found that there were a large number of problem blind boxes on sale in 13 stationery stores around 4 schools, covering stationery, toys, cards and other types, all of which were designed for minors’ preferences. The influence of blind box chaos on minors is mainly concentrated in four aspects: first, a large number of "three noes" toys and stationery with poor quality and unknown sources are made into blind boxes for sale to minors; Second, false propaganda, a large number of blind box packaging is seriously inconsistent with the internal objects; Third, the content is inappropriate. A large number of products are packaged with unauthorized photos and pictures, and some products are printed with propaganda words that are not suitable for minors, such as "About Goddess"; Fourth, it is easy to induce impulsive consumption, and the uncertainty of blind box products is easy to induce impulsive consumption of minors, and resources are wasted due to repeated purchases. According to the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Minors, the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on Product Quality, the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests and other relevant laws and regulations, aiming at the problem that the supervision of blind box sales is not in place, on the basis of preliminary investigation,Renqiu Municipal People’s Procuratorate filed an administrative public interest lawsuit on March 18, 2022.

  In order to further build consensus, on March 25th, 2022, Renqiu Municipal People’s Procuratorate held a public hearing, invited NPC deputies, CPPCC members and people’s supervisors as hearing officers, and invited the leaders of the Municipal People’s Congress Standing Committee, the Communist Youth League Committee, the Education and Sports Bureau, the Market Supervision Bureau and other relevant units and some primary and secondary school teachers to participate in it, and made in-depth discussions on the illegal issues involved in the current blind box chaos, the infringement of minors’ legitimate rights and interests, and how to promote the governance of the blind box problem, and reached a consensus on governance. After the hearing, Renqiu Municipal People’s Procuratorate publicly announced to the Municipal Market Supervision Administration that it would serve the procuratorial suggestions before the administrative public interest litigation, suggesting that special law enforcement inspections should be carried out on the blind box market in the city, and unqualified blind box products should be investigated and dealt with according to law; To further standardize the business behavior of blind box operators, operators should obtain the consent of guardians in advance when selling blind boxes to minors under the age of 8; Strengthen contact and cooperation with the education department, and implement long-term supervision of blind box sales places around the campus; Smooth reporting channels, publish reporting telephones and platforms, and encourage clues to report; Increase publicity and education, and guide operators to know the law, abide by the law and operate in compliance.

  After receiving the procuratorial proposal, the Market Supervision Administration attached great importance to it, and formulated the "Renqiu Market Supervision Administration’s Special Remediation Action Plan for Blind Box Management", which carried out net-pulling inspections in two key areas, namely, the wholesale market of goods and the retail shops around the campus, involving more than 630 shops, and removed more than 3,500 unqualified blind box products in 69 categories, and issued a notice to blind box sales shops on rectifying the market order, so as to clarify the common illegal problems behind selling blind boxes to minors and guide operators to operate legally. At the end of May, the Market Supervision Administration sent a written reply to Renqiu City Procuratorate on the implementation of the rectification of procuratorial suggestions.

  At the same time, Renqiu Municipal People’s Procuratorate issued procuratorial suggestions on social governance to the local education department. In view of the problems that students generally buy blind boxes and blind box sales widely exist around the school, it is suggested that the education department strengthen the linkage and cooperation with the market supervision department, guide the school to earnestly perform its protection duties, pay attention to the chaos of blind box sales around the campus, and find and hand over clues in time; Strengthen the risk warning and guidance education for students in school to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. The People’s Procuratorate of Renqiu City, together with the local education department, produced a Letter to Parents, calling on parents and schools to pay close attention to the consumption situation of minors, help minors develop good consumption habits, and report violations of their legitimate rights and interests in a timely manner. All schools strengthen the guidance and education of students’ consumption concept in time, and some schools set up small financial and business classes to help students cultivate correct consumption concepts, so as to achieve the same frequency resonance and the same direction of school protection and family protection. Promote the efforts of society, government, schools and families in the same direction through justice, and promote the governance of blind box problems.

  In order to ensure the governance effect, Renqiu People’s Procuratorate continued to follow up. In June and September, 2022, it conducted a "look back" on the sales of blind boxes around the campus twice, and temporarily checked 53 blind box businesses. All kinds of unqualified blind box products have been removed from the shelves of relevant shops, and warning signs such as "rational consumption" and "no minors under 8 years old to buy alone" have been posted on the shelves of blind box products, which has significantly enhanced the operators’ awareness of obeying the law and effectively activated the social protection force.

  [Typical meaning]

  Blind box chaos around campus infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of minors. Focusing on the problem of minors’ protection, the procuratorial organs take the handling of public interest litigation cases as the starting point, actively perform their duties, promote the concerted efforts of society, government, schools and families, and promote "joint management" with "self-management" to form a co-governance pattern, which has effectively purified the local blind box market order, initially established a long-term governance mechanism, and effectively practiced the concept of "promoting the implementation of the other five major protections with judicial protection".

  Case 4

  The Minhang District People’s Procuratorate of Shanghai urged the administrative public interest litigation case to perform the supervisory duty of script killing in the secret room.

  [Keywords:]

  Classification, policy and source management of administrative public interest litigation in secret room script killing

  【 gist 】

  In view of the regulatory problems of the secret room and script killing industry, the procuratorial organs can focus on different issues and make classified policies to promote relevant departments to base themselves on their functions and jointly rectify them. Procuratorial organs can promote the improvement of the national industry supervision system by promoting industry autonomy and leading administrative law enforcement units to establish rules and regulations, and promote good laws and good governance of emerging formats.

  [Basic case]

  The number of secret rooms and script killing stores in Shanghai ranks first in the country, and the location of stores is around the school, accounting for 12%. However, due to the unclear nature of the industry, low entry threshold, lack of standards in decoration design, narrow or closed evacuation routes, lack of fire-fighting equipment and other problems, it is easy to cause fire and other security risks. Some scripts contain blood, violence, superstition and other prohibited contents, which are easy to induce psychological discomfort of minors and even imitate illegal and criminal acts. Most merchants did not give tips to minors according to the content, and accepted minors to play without time limit, which seriously affected their physical and mental health.

  [Performance of Procuratorial Organs]

  In August 2021, Minhang District People’s Procuratorate found that some minors involved in the case were keen to participate in the secret room and script killing activities; In the process of carrying out the work of the vice president of the rule of law, many students also reported that they suffered personal injury and psychological discomfort due to their content and environment during the experience of secret room and script killing, and there may be situations and hidden dangers that infringe on the physical and mental health of minors. After investigation, there are more than 40 secret rooms and scripts in Minhang District. Operators do not need to register their business scope, and they do not need permission and approval. The site selection and construction are arbitrary and are not bound by the Regulations on the Administration of Entertainment Places. Many operators’ internal decoration and fire protection configuration do not meet the relevant requirements of fire protection law and local fire protection regulations, and there is a fire risk; Some scripts contain elements such as violence, pornography and feudal superstition; In order to avoid risks, some operators require players to sign the "Disclaimer", especially for underage consumer groups, but the stores have not taken special protection measures according to their physical and mental characteristics. At the same time, nearly 20,000 questionnaires were distributed to primary and secondary schools in the whole region, and it was found that about 50% of primary and secondary school students knew or experienced the escape from the secret room and the script killing. Most of them played the script containing horror and violence, and some students reported that they had fallen, frightened or even sexually harassed during the escape from the secret room. After evaluation, although the current law does not prohibit minors from experiencing the secret room script killing activities,However, the prohibited contents and potential safety hazards in this industry have violated the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Administration of Publishing and the Law on the Protection of Minors in People’s Republic of China (PRC), but the relevant administrative departments have not performed their duties in place, and the public interests of minors have been seriously violated. In September 2021, Minhang District Procuratorate filed an administrative public interest lawsuit.

  In the investigation, the procuratorial organ found that based on the existing regulations, the business scope of the script killing industry could not be clearly defined by industrial and commercial registration, whether the script killing place in the secret room belongs to entertainment places and should be subject to administrative licensing was controversial, and how to implement fire control supervision was not clear. Faced with the outstanding problem of "weak standardization" in the secret room and script killing industry, the difficult problems of management supervision and many law enforcement units, Minhang District Procuratorate held a special seminar, invited experts and scholars and relevant administrative law enforcement units at the urban level to study together, reached a consensus on law enforcement concepts, performance cooperation and supervision services, and invited business representatives to discuss and listen to the needs of rule of law protection. In October, 2021, Minhang District People’s Procuratorate issued a consultation letter to the District Bureau of Culture and Tourism, suggesting that it strengthen the supervision of the content of script entertainment activities and explore the implementation of juvenile protection measures in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement in Cultural Markets, the Regulations on the Administration of Publishing and the Regulations on the Administration of Commercial Performances. According to the provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, the Fire Protection Law and the local fire protection regulations, it is suggested that the district public security bureau strengthen the public security management, fire supervision and inspection and fire prevention publicity and education of the script entertainment business premises. Based on their respective responsibilities, the relevant functional departments jointly carried out special activities for the investigation and management of hidden dangers in the secret room escape and script killing industry, carried out more than 240 inspections, removed 24 scripts that endangered the physical and mental health of minors, rectified 53 hidden dangers, and ordered 7 rectifications.Achieve positive results.

  On the basis of handling individual cases, Minhang District People’s Procuratorate took the lead in drafting the "Proposal on the Protection of Minors in the Chamber of Secrets Script Killing Industry", advocating enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities for the protection of minors in seven aspects, such as self-examination and classified management of content, setting up minor areas, and implementing mandatory reports, and promoting more than 40 enterprises to post and follow up on their business premises to promote industry autonomy. In view of the shortage of normative documents in this industry, Minhang District People’s Procuratorate, together with the public security, cultural tourism, market and fire protection departments, will sign the standardized management measures for the secret room script killing industry in December 2021, and put forward special protection measures for minors, such as exploring content grading, age-appropriate tips, checking minors’ identity and standardizing time management.

  [Typical meaning]

  Escape from the secret room and script killing have gradually become a new entertainment and social way widely loved by minors, and also a weak link in social governance. Procuratorial organs can actively perform the procuratorial function of public interest litigation. In view of the dilemma of unclear industry ownership and involving multi-sector law enforcement, consensus is reached through special seminars, and joint rectification is carried out through classified policies, urging all functional departments to perform their duties and work in the same direction.

  Promote emerging business forms, govern according to law, and join hands with all parties to protect minors.— — The person in charge of the Ninth Procuratorate of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate answered a reporter’s question on publishing a typical case of juvenile protection procuratorial public interest litigation with emerging formats.

  On February 25th, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate released a typical case of procuratorial public interest litigation for the protection of minors. What is the background of these typical cases? What are the characteristics? What measures will the procuratorial organs take in the next step to promote the work of public interest litigation for the protection of minors in emerging formats? The head of the Ninth Procuratorate of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (also known as the Juvenile Procuratorate) answered the reporter’s questions on related issues.

  Q: What is the background of this typical case released by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate?

  A:The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress clearly put forward the requirements of protecting children’s legitimate rights and interests. It is the duty of procuratorial organs to practice the supreme leader’s thought of rule of law and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of minors to carry out public interest litigation for the protection of minors. In recent years, e-sports hotels, script killings, on-demand cinemas and other emerging formats have been welcomed by consumers, including minors, but at the same time, there are also blind spots in supervision and management and potential risks that affect the healthy growth of minors. We publish these typical cases mainly based on the following considerations:

  First, the need to implement the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC)’s deliberation opinions and strengthen the protection of minors. On October 28th, 2022, the 37th session of the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) listened to and considered the report made by the Procurator-General of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, Zhang Jun, on the procuratorial work for minors, fully affirmed the effectiveness of procuratorial work for minors in recent years, clearly pointed out the difficulties and existing problems in performing their duties, and put forward opinions and suggestions on strengthening the professional construction of procuratorial work for minors and promoting the overall implementation of the "six protections". During the deliberation, the participants put forward specific opinions and suggestions on strengthening the protection of minors in the governance of emerging formats, pointing out that "the lack of supervision on the protection of minors’ rights and interests associated with emerging formats such as e-sports hotels and escape from secret rooms, as well as the overall planning of minors’ comprehensive assistance, legal popularization and other work forces, etc., require the joint participation of all forces." The release of these typical cases of public interest litigation for the protection of minors in emerging formats is the height of implementing the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC)’s deliberation opinions and strengthening legal supervision, and it is a powerful guide for the national procuratorial organs to do a good job in the procuratorial work of public interest litigation for the protection of minors in emerging formats.

  The second is the need to pay more attention to the hidden dangers of minors’ protection in emerging formats. In handling cases, the procuratorial organs found that while the emerging business forms are developing rapidly and being welcomed by minors, there are certain regulatory blind spots and hidden dangers in the protection of minors. Some on-demand cinemas take personalization and privacy as their selling points, and the space is relatively closed, which is prone to illegal and criminal acts such as public security problems and sexual assault. Some blind boxes sold around primary and secondary schools are not marked with important information such as brand, manufacturer, address and implementation standards, and the product quality is shoddy. Some e-sports hotels accept minors’ unlimited access to the Internet, fail to truthfully register the identity information of check-in personnel, and illegally sell cigarettes and alcohol to minors. Some scripts used to kill business premises contain bloody, violent, horrible, superstitious content, and even interspersed with pornographic and drug-related plots, but the operators failed to fulfill their obligation to remind minors, resulting in the physical and mental health of minors being damaged, and so on.

  The third is the need to unite social consensus and solve the dilemma of emerging business governance. At present, there are the following problems in the governance of emerging formats: first, the ownership of the industry is not clear. For example, e-sports hotel supervision involves market supervision, public security, cultural tourism and other departments, and issues such as overlapping functions affect the implementation of regulatory responsibilities. The second is that the industry norms are not perfect. For example, at present, the norms for VOD cinemas mainly focus on the fields of film screening and distribution, while the regulations such as the Measures for the Administration of Entertainment Places do not explicitly include VOD cinemas in the scope of supervision, which leads to the lack of law enforcement basis for administrative organs. The third is that the legal provisions are not clear. For example, e-sports hotel, as a new format, has no clear definition of industry attributes at present, and it is mainly managed according to the hotel industry, which leaves hidden dangers for minors to use online game equipment without restriction by staying in e-sports hotel. The fourth is that social attention is not enough. E-sports hotels, online booking rooms, on-demand cinemas, and blind boxes pose urgent risks to the protection of minors. However, from a national perspective, insufficient attention has been paid to the governance of emerging formats, resulting in insufficient protection synergy.

  Q: What are the main working methods adopted by the procuratorial organs to carry out public interest litigation for the protection of minors in emerging formats, and what achievements have been made?

  A:In the protection of minors in emerging business governance, local procuratorial organs have actively broadened the sources of clues, carried out in-depth investigation and evidence collection, accurately determined the objects of supervision, filed public interest litigation according to law, and cooperated to promote social governance, and achieved initial results.

  First, give full play to the advantages of centralized and unified handling of juvenile procuratorial business and find supervision clues through multiple channels. For example, after CCTV’s "March 15 in Action" program exposed the chaos of blind boxes, Renqiu City Procuratorate of Hebei Province was keenly aware that the related problems might be universal, and immediately investigated the sales of blind boxes around the local campus, and focused on the outstanding problems in the blind box market, issued a procuratorial proposal to the market supervision department, and actively performed the supervision duties of public interest litigation.

  The second is to organize expert seminars and industry hearings to fully unite the consensus of all parties. For example, the Minhang District Procuratorate of Shanghai held a seminar to invite functional departments, people’s supervisors, experts and scholars to explore the theoretical basis and practical path of standardized management of the scriptwriting industry in the secret room, and put forward opinions and suggestions on place safety, content grading, age-appropriate tips, identity inspection, employment constraints, mandatory reporting, etc. The Procuratorate of Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province organized a public hearing to discuss practical problems and governance countermeasures in view of the nature of e-sports hotels and the vague subject of supervision.

  The third is to play the role of procuratorial public interest litigation and urge all parties to fully perform their duties. For example, in view of the fact that the supervision of on-demand cinemas involves multiple administrative departments, the Shanghai procuratorate issued and publicly announced procuratorial suggestions to the competent departments of the industry, and simultaneously copied them to the departments of market supervision and cultural law enforcement; Suqian City Procuratorate of Jiangsu Province filed a civil public interest lawsuit against the e-sports hotel, asking the e-sports hotel to prohibit the provision of Internet access services to minors, and publicly apologized in the national media. The court decision supported all the litigation requests of the procuratorate.

  The fourth is to play the role of comprehensive judicial protection and promote "all management" with "I manage". For example, in promoting blind box governance, Renqiu City Procuratorate of Hebei Province not only promotes the administrative organs to perform their duties according to law through public interest litigation, but also promotes the family, school, society and government to form a co-governance pattern through judicial protection through social governance procuratorial suggestions, letters to parents, guiding schools to strengthen education guidance, and establishing linkage mechanisms.

  Fifth, the introduction of local industry norms, collaborative governance to form a joint force. For example, the Minhang District Procuratorate of Shanghai, together with the five departments of public security, cultural tourism, market and fire protection, countersigned the measures for standardizing the management of the script killing industry in the secret room, and put forward special protection measures for minors such as exploring content grading, age-appropriate tips, checking the identity of minors, and standardizing time management.

  Q: In the next step, what measures will the procuratorial organs take to push the emerging business forms to a new level?

  A:Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China specially emphasized "strengthening the legal supervision of procuratorial organs" and "improving the public interest litigation system", and the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) also put forward clear requirements for the protection of minors in emerging formats in his deliberation opinions on the special report on unchecked work. In the future work, we will focus on the following aspects:

  The first is to strengthen business guidance. Summarize the law of cases, refine the experience and methods, incorporate the procuratorial supervision of emerging formats into the relevant normative documents and guiding opinions of juvenile public interest litigation in a timely manner, and guide local procuratorial organs to improve the accuracy, standardization and effectiveness of handling cases.

  The second is to promote the formation of a good atmosphere. We will strengthen publicity and guidance through various ways and means, such as continuing to carry out the activities of the rule of law into the campus, and co-producing and broadcasting the program "Guarding Tomorrow" with CCTV, so as to enhance the concern of the whole society about the protection of minors in emerging formats, raise the awareness of self-protection of minors, and prevent and resolve potential risks.

  The third is to promote the cooperation and common governance of all parties. Adhere to supervision without substitution and offside, and further build consensus through seminars and expert argumentation; By introducing typical cases and analyzing special reports, we will strengthen communication with government supervision departments, strive to solve the blind spots in industry governance as soon as possible, fill in the shortcomings of social governance for the protection of minors, and strive to promote family, school, society, network and government protection with judicial protection and active performance of duties, so that "1+5>6= reality".

What is the origin of the Ming family, the leader of the North Myanmar electric fraud?

On November 12th, the public security organs in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province publicly offered a wanted reward for four important leaders of the Kokang telecom network fraud criminal group in northern Myanmar, namely Ming Xuechang, Ming Guoping, Ming Julan and Ming Pearl Krabs. On November 16th, with the strong cooperation of all parties in Myanmar, Ming Guoping, Ming Julan and Ming Pearl Krabs were successfully captured and handed over to our public security organs.

On the same day, informed by the Consulate General of Myanmar in Kunming, Myanmar organized the arrest of Ming Xuechang on the night of November 15th, during which Ming Xuechang committed suicide for fear of sin.

The relevant person in charge of the public security organ said that it will continue to crack down on the telecommunication network fraud crimes in northern Myanmar, resolutely eradicate the crime soil, severely punish criminal suspects according to law, and resolutely safeguard the lives and property safety and legitimate rights and interests of the people.

Ming Xuechang was once the county magistrate of Kokang.

The family established Wohu Mountain Villa Electric Fraud Garden.

On November 12th, Wenzhou police in China issued a notice offering a reward for Ming Xuechang, Ming Guoping, Ming Julan and Ming Pearl Krabs.

The identities of the two wanted male suspects are unusual, and both have bold "official" backgrounds. Ming Xuechang was an official of the Kokang authorities. He served as a member of the Shan State Parliament of Myanmar and a member of the leading committee of Kokang Autonomous Region. Ming Guoping served as the squadron leader of the local militia. The other two female suspects hold Chinese identity cards, Ming Julan, 42, from Zhenkang County, lincang, Yunnan Province; Ming Pearl Krabs, 27, is from Gengma Dai and Wa Autonomous County, lincang, Yunnan. It is reported that the four people are related.

The four men are members of the Kokang Ming family, and Ming Xuechang, headed by the reward notice, is the head of the Ming family.

In bold, there are four "senior" families, namely Bai Suocheng family, Wei Chaoren family, Liu Guoxi family and Liu Abao family, and the Ming family is regarded as a "rising star". According to local media reports in Myanmar, Ming Xuechang is one of the richest men in the area, and the Ming family is closely related to the four major families.

According to The Paper, Ming Xuechang was originally a subordinate of Peng Jiasheng, the "dare king". After leaving the Kokang Allied Forces with Bai Suocheng in 2009, he was appointed as the Kokang county magistrate by the Burmese government forces; In 2011, he served as a member of the Shan State Parliament of Myanmar, vice chairman of Kokang Autonomous Region, member of the daily work committee and leading committee of Kokang Autonomous Region.

The Ming family, headed by Ming Xuechang, set up several fraud parks in Kokang Old Street, Dongcheng Happy Bridge and other places. Ming Xuechang’s eldest son, Ming Guoan, was originally the battalion commander of the 21 ST battalion of Laojie Police, and founded the notorious electric fraud park-Wohu Mountain Villa. According to insiders, Ming Guoan once accidentally fell off a horse and fell into a vegetative state while riding on the streets of the old street, and then went to Thailand for treatment. Wohu Mountain Villa was taken care of by other family members. In addition, his second son, Ming Guoping, also served as the captain of the local militia and also controlled the armed forces.

According to local media reports, on October 30, the Myanmar national government appointedthe militaryWe investigated and raided fraud gangs in Wohushanzhuang, and arrested more than 700 China illegal immigrants involved in fraud in Wohushanzhuang on the same day. On October 31, after the local policearmyMore than 300 China-born criminal suspects who were at large in Wohushanzhuang were arrested respectively.

According to the Beijing News, people close to the Kokang Electric Fraud Group in northern Myanmar told reporters that the armed forces under Ming Xuechang openly armed and protected fraud as security guards. The local said that Ming Xuechang was a low-key and cunning person. "When he was young, he always stole in their village."

Regarding Ming Xuechang, his last appearance in the local official news was on October 26th.

Source: Kokang Public Network

According to local media reports, on October 26th, in order to further implement the work requirements and strengthen the crackdown on various derivative illegal activities such as telecom fraud, a special working meeting was held in Kokang Autonomous Region. Ming Xuechang and other old leaders of the autonomous region attended the meeting. At the meeting, Ming Xuechang and other old leaders introduced the serious impact of telecom fraud on the region and made suggestions on related crackdown work. Now it seems that such a statement is quite ironic.

Two bodies were found in the Ming family’s construction site.

According to Red Star News, which quoted local media in Kokang, on November 5, two bodies were dug up on a construction site near Happiness Bridge in Kokang’s capital, Laojie. The bodies were wrapped tightly and were suspected of being covered up.

The site is a property under the name of the Ming Xuechang family. Recently, two hidden bodies were brought to light when workers were cleaning the sewers. After two bodies wrapped in plastic bags were pulled out of the sewer by workers, the workers tore open the body bags to see the complete face of the deceased. From the degree of decay, the death time was not long.

Some netizens identified the deceased as a China citizen who was killed on October 20th. It should be pointed out that this statement has not yet been confirmed. In addition, it is impossible to confirm whether Ming Xuechang and others are related to the unknown body found on November 5.

If the laws of China apply.

What punishment will the Ming family and others face?

According to Yang Guangwang, Feng Shuo, a lecturer and doctor of law at the School of International Law of Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, said that according to the relevant provisions of China’s criminal law, in the process of cracking down on cross-border crimes, if Chinese citizens commit crimes abroad or foreigners commit crimes against China and our citizens, as long as the minimum penalty for such crimes is more than three years’ imprisonment, they can exercise jurisdiction. Therefore, as long as the relevant criminals are arrested, the judicial organs of our country can be convicted and sentenced according to our criminal law and related laws, and be punished by our laws.

Song Jingyi, a lawyer of Beijing Yingke (Guangzhou) Law Firm, said that using telecommunication network technology to commit fraud, defrauding public and private property worth more than 3,000 yuan can be criminally filed, and defrauding public and private property worth more than 500,000 yuan can be sentenced to life imprisonment. Members of the Ming family are openly armed to protect fraud, and are also suspected of intentional homicide, intentional injury, illegal detention and other serious violent crimes. The circumstances are extremely bad and the consequences are extremely serious. Because the statutory punishment for intentional homicide is the death penalty, some members of the Ming family may be sentenced to death for several crimes.

For accomplices who play a secondary and auxiliary role in a criminal group, especially those who surrender themselves within the prescribed time limit, actively assist in the capture of the principal offender, and actively assist in the recovery, they may be given a lighter or mitigated punishment according to law. There is no way out for confrontation, and the fraud group should see the situation clearly and return to China as soon as possible.

Recently, a number of core members of four families recorded confession videos in China, and publicly "shouted" to family members through the Internet. The core contents are two points: one is to call for the release of detained Chinese as soon as possible, and the other is to quit the "business" of electric fraud and advise the people to "leave a way for themselves".

Investigation Report on New Characteristics and Trends of Current Public Consumption (2024)

Abstract: With the economic development, industrial transformation and social and cultural changes, the current public consumption behaviors and concepts present some new characteristics and trends. On the whole, "careful calculation" has become the main behavior mode of public consumption, and the proportion of basic living consumption in the public consumption structure is still high. The public pays more attention to the spiritual value and consumption experience of consumption, and generally expects more diversified product consumption, service consumption and consumption scenarios. From the specific field, digital consumption, green consumption, healthy consumption and experience consumption have become the new trend of public consumption. To stimulate the new consumption potential, we need to conform to the new characteristics and trends of public consumption, open up the difficulties, pain points and blocking points that affect public consumption, and improve the long-term mechanism for expanding consumption.

[Keywords:] consumer behavior, consumption concept, digital consumption, green consumption and healthy consumption [Chinese library classification number] C913.3 [document identification code] a

Consumption is not only an important driving force for economic growth, but also an important factor affecting people’s quality of life. With the continuous optimization of economic structure and the continuous improvement of residents’ income level, the role of consumption as the main engine of economic growth is more prominent. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2023, the contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth was 82.5%. 2024 is the year of consumption promotion, and the policy focus is further tilted towards consumption. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Decision on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese Modernization adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Decision) emphasizes "accelerating the cultivation of a complete domestic demand system" and "improving the long-term mechanism for expanding consumption". The the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Conference held at the end of September, 2024 analyzed and studied the current economic situation and economic work, and emphasized that "promoting consumption and benefiting people’s livelihood should be combined to increase the income of low-and middle-income groups and improve the consumption structure. We must cultivate new consumer formats. "

Boosting consumption needs to understand the new changes and conform to the new trend of public consumption. With the development of domestic economy, industrial upgrading and social and cultural changes, the current public consumption tendency, consumption structure and consumption mentality have undergone significant changes, showing some new characteristics and trends. Grasping these new features and trends has certain guiding significance for accurately making policies to open up the difficulties, pain points and blocking points that affect public consumption and release consumption potential. In order to understand the new characteristics and trends of public consumption in China, September 12, 2024 — On September 20th, People’s Think Tank conducted a questionnaire survey for the public through the Internet and WeChat WeChat official account, and collected 5,304 valid questionnaires.

New characteristics of current public consumption behavior and concept

Public consumption behavior and consumption concept in different periods have different characteristics. At present, China’s public consumption shows the characteristics of being more cautious, paying more attention to the spiritual value of consumption and being more diversified. Changes in the economic and employment situation, changes in social and cultural fashions, the constant emergence of new consumer products, new formats and new scenes, and the profound influence of social basic emotions have jointly shaped the consumption characteristics of the public in the current period.

Public consumption is becoming more cautious, and "careful calculation" has become the main behavior mode of public consumption at present. Through the analysis of public consumption behavior patterns, it can be seen that rational consumption and living within our means have become the common characteristics of current public consumption behavior, and the consumption behavior pattern of "careful calculation" is more common in all groups. 56.1% of the respondents think that their current consumption behavior pattern is "careful calculation, some aspects can save, others are willing to spend money", 16.9% of the respondents think that it is "saving, living with low desire", and over 70% of the respondents choose the content related to "saving". In addition, the proportion of people who choose "having fun in time, but not borrowing for consumption", "spending ahead, spending early and enjoying early" and "other consumption behavior patterns" are 21.3%, 5.3% and 0.4% respectively. It is worth noting that the Z generation group (1995 — Among the respondents born in 2009, 55.3% thought their consumption behavior pattern was "careful calculation", while only 5.9% thought it was "ahead of consumption", which showed that, to some extent, ahead of consumption and excessive consumption were no longer common among young people.Consumption tendency refers to the proportion of disposable income spent by consumers. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the average consumption tendency of Chinese residents in the first half of 2024 was 65.6%, lower than 68.3% in 2023. As the global economic growth slows down, the risk of geopolitical conflicts increases, personal income faces more uncertainty, and public consumption decisions become more cautious.

The public pays more attention to the spiritual value of consumer products and the consumption experience in the process of consumption, and the "recommendation-oriented" consumption concept is more common among young people. In terms of consumption concept, the public pays more attention to the symbolic value and altruistic value of consumption, hoping to show their own taste through consumption behavior. According to the survey data, the public’s recognition score for the statement that "consumption behavior can highlight my quality of life and taste" is 3.02 (out of 5), and the recognition score for the statement that "I prefer to spend for my relatives and friends than to please myself" is 3.36, which is at a high level. The public also has a strong local consciousness in consumption, and the recognition score of "I prefer to support domestic brands" is 3.56 points. At the same time, the public also pays more attention to the experience in the consumption process, and the recognition score of the statement "I am willing to pay extra for a better shopping experience" is 2.97 points. These data show to some extent that the current public consumption concept has begun to shift from materialistic values to post-materialistic values, paying more attention to the spiritual value of consumption. In addition, personalized and diversified consumption has gradually become the mainstream. When making consumption decisions, the public is easily influenced by others’ evaluation and recommendation, which is reflected in a "recommendation-oriented" consumption view. Survey data show that,The public said to me, "I often feel sorry for other people’s ‘ Planting grass ’ Or ‘ Amway ’ The recognition score of the statement "consumption" is 2.90 (out of 5), and the recognition score of the statement "I often buy goods in the live broadcast room with goods" is 2.82, and the recognition score of the youth group for these two statements is higher than the average. It shows that the recommendation of others plays a guiding role in the consumption decision of the public, especially the youth group.

There is still much room for growth in public consumption potential, and more diversified consumption services and products, consumption scenes and spaces are generally expected. In the survey on "What are the new expectations of consumer products, services and scene innovation", the three options most selected by the respondents were "more diversified catering consumer services" (41.8%), "new tourism products such as low-altitude tourism, camping tourism and recreational tourism" (41.5%) and "more intelligent and intelligent smart home products" (37.4%). The public has more expectations for the diversification of catering consumption services and higher enthusiasm for tourism consumption. Tourism consumption is an important aspect of stimulating consumption growth, and meeting the increasingly diversified, personalized and quality tourism consumption needs of the public is an important focus of promoting consumption growth at present. In addition, respondents have a high proportion of choices such as "more products can be customized and personalized", "entertainment products such as movies and games are more quality and rich" and "more excellent research routes".

The basic living expenditure accounts for a relatively high proportion, and the main consumption expenditure types of different groups are different. The survey of public consumption structure shows that the proportion of basic living consumption in public consumption structure is still high. When asked what the monthly consumption expenditure is mainly concentrated in, they chose renting, transportation, water and electricity (43.3%), clothing, shoes and hats (39.8%) and food, alcohol and tobacco (38.6%). In addition, when asked "what are the most important factors that affect your consumption", 43.2% of the respondents chose "mortgage, car loan and rent are under great pressure" and 32.2% chose "children’s education expenditure accounts for a relatively large proportion". This shows that the proportion of daily living expenses in the overall consumption of the public is still high, mainly concentrated in housing (including renting and mortgage), transportation, clothing, catering, education and so on. In the case of stable overall expenditure, the proportion of basic living consumption is high, and other consumption space has to be appropriately compressed. In terms of groups, female respondents chose "clothing, shoes and hats" (41.2%) and "beauty cosmetics and skin care products" (34.5%), while male respondents chose "Household electronic appliances (32.7%) and entertainment services such as movies and games (23.0%) account for a relatively high proportion, and the respondents of Generation Z choose clothing, shoes and hats (43.2%), household electronic appliances (33.3%) and entertainment services such as movies and games (25.3%) It can be seen that the consumption structure of different groups is different.

The new trend of current public consumption patterns and patterns

The Central Economic Work Conference in 2023 emphasized that it is necessary to actively "cultivate and expand new consumption, vigorously develop digital consumption, green consumption and healthy consumption, and actively cultivate smart homes, recreational tourism, sports events and domestic products ‘ Chaopin ’ Waiting for new consumption growth points. " At present, with China’s digital economy, green economy, health industry and other new economic formats entering the fast lane of development, supply-side consumer products and services are constantly upgrading, demand-side public consumption demand and willingness are constantly evolving, and the current consumption field presents some new trends.

The public actively participates in digital consumption, and has a certain recognition of the digital transformation of service consumption, product consumption and consumption scenarios. Digital consumption not only changed the manufacturing pattern, but also promoted the high-end and intelligent upgrading of consumer products, optimized the service consumption process and innovated the consumption scene. These changes have had a wide and profound impact on the public and become an important trend in the development of the consumer market. According to the survey data, when asked "which aspects of digital transformation have significantly optimized the experience of shopping, service and product use", 46.3% of the respondents chose "digital medical care, such as cloud consultation and electronic medical record interconnection". In the medical field, digital technology has improved the efficiency and accessibility of medical services, broken geographical restrictions through telemedicine, intelligent diagnosis and other means, and provided patients with a more convenient medical service experience. 39.4% of the respondents chose "digital cultural tours, such as online cultural exhibitions and immersive scenes". In the field of cultural tourism, digital technology has created an immersive and interactive travel experience for tourists through innovative technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality. 35.8% of the respondents chose "Internet of Things Smart Home". Intelligentization has become the main trend of the development of the home industry, meeting the needs and expectations of the public’s digital intelligent life. In addition, choose "online virtual mall, 3D immersive shopping" "The proportion of unmanned distribution service, unmanned retail and smart retail is 33.1%, 25.0% and 15.5% respectively. With the deep application of digital technology, intelligent and convenient new consumption scenes are constantly emerging, which effectively stimulates the public’s willingness to consume and optimizes the public’s consumption experience.

The concept of green consumption has become a general consensus of public consumption, and the public’s green consumption preference involves food, supplies, travel and other aspects. In recent years, the public’s awareness of green consumption has been continuously enhanced, and the concept of green consumption has gradually taken root in people’s hearts. Green products and services in food, supplies, travel and other consumption areas have become new consumption growth points, driving the rapid growth of the green consumption market. According to the survey data, 50.5% of the respondents had the behavior of "buying green appliances such as energy-saving air conditioners and energy-saving refrigerators", and 46.6% of the respondents "chose online takeaway ‘ No tableware required ’ , shopping choice ‘ Simple packaging ’ " 33.6% of the respondents "often travel in bike-sharing", 26.2% will "buy new energy vehicles" and 22.6% will "pay attention to the carbon footprint of products and use it as the basis for purchasing decisions". This shows that the concept of green consumption has become one of the key factors affecting public consumption decisions in product consumption and service consumption. In addition, 33.3% of the respondents will "buy goods on second-hand idle platforms" and 15.3% will "participate in the trade-in activities of consumer goods", which will help reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution.It is also a reflection of the transformation of green consumption concept into green consumption practice.

The growing awareness of public health has prompted healthy consumption to become the "new darling" in the field of consumption. Health preservation, healthy diet, health care and home health are the areas of healthy consumption that the public generally pays more attention to. With the development of economy and society and the improvement of people’s living standards, the public’s health awareness is getting stronger and stronger, and more and more people are willing to "pay for health", and the demand for healthy consumption continues to grow. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2023, the per capita health care consumption expenditure was 2,460 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.0%. This survey shows that healthy consumption, such as health preservation, healthy food and home health, is a hot spot in consumption. 48.8% of the respondents have consumption preferences in health care, including purchasing health care products, supplementing nutrients and health care equipment; 48.1% of people have consumption preferences in healthy eating, such as buying pure natural and zero-added foods and consulting nutritionists for payment. 38.2% people have consumption preferences in medical and health care, such as regular physical examination and oral medical services; The proportion of people who have consumption preference in home health is 33.9%, such as buying air purifiers, home water purifiers and home oxygen generators. In addition, 27.2% and 4.9% of the respondents have consumption preferences in fitness exercise and emotional healing, respectively.

The public pays more and more attention to experience consumption, and the experience-oriented economy of travel, study and night has become a new hot spot and new trend of public consumption. "Experience" is a kind of "good feeling" that consumers get by integrating into the scene created by suppliers. At present, the public’s consumption concept is gradually changing to experience. Experience can be not only an additional service of consumer products, but also the consumer content itself that the public is willing to pay for. This consumption concept is reflected in the hot phenomenon of tourist destinations such as Zibo and Tianshui, which are rich in experience scenes rather than traditional humanities and natural landscapes. "Punch-in consumption" has become a distinctive label of the younger generation’s consumption behavior. At present, the content of public experience consumption is more diverse. According to the survey data, 39.1% of the respondents will "punch in online celebrity restaurants and drink shops", 38.1% will "experience hand-made ceramics and DIY hand-made shops", 37.3% will "experience immersive drama and art exhibitions", 35.7% will like to "visit newly opened shopping malls and brand stores", and 35.2% will like it.17.7% of the respondents like to "visit the digital electronic product experience store". In terms of preference for experience consumption, the current public prefers tourist destinations with strong cultural flavor, and also has certain preferences for research economy and night economy. The survey results show that the public’s recognition of "paying more attention to human factors when making tourism choices than natural landscape", "research tourism is more rewarding and educational than ordinary tourism" and "preferring cities with high economic richness at night" are 3.27, 3.27 and 3.40 respectively (out of 5), and the recognition is at a high level.
