Open a new chapter in the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources
-The person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs interprets the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Strengthening the Protection and Utilization of Agricultural Germplasm Resources.

On February 11th, the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Strengthening the Protection and Utilization of Agricultural Germplasm Resources (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions") was officially issued. The person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was interviewed by the reporter and interpreted the background significance, new requirements and how to implement the Opinions.

Q: What role has agricultural germplasm resources played in ensuring food security, supplying agricultural products and promoting social and economic development? What is the current situation of protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources in China?

A:Agricultural germplasm resources such as crops, livestock and poultry, aquatic products and agricultural microorganisms are the basis of new variety breeding, the carrier of genetic information from the previous generation to the next generation, and one of the indispensable and important resources for human survival. China’s agriculture has a long history and is rich in germplasm resources, which are the most important agricultural heritage in China and even in the world. Since the founding of New China, agricultural germplasm resources have been effectively developed and utilized, agricultural varieties have been constantly introduced, agricultural science and technology have been continuously improved, and grain yield has hit record highs. The role of agricultural germplasm resources is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the basic role of ensuring national food security. China’s grain yield increased by 4.6 times compared with 1949, and the output of livestock, poultry and aquatic products ranked first in the world for a long time, mainly due to the continuous upgrading of varieties. The successful cultivation and popularization of breakthrough varieties all came from the excavation and utilization of excellent germplasm resources. The second is the source function of agricultural science and technology innovation. Throughout the history of agriculture at home and abroad, every breakthrough of green revolution stems from the exploration and utilization of germplasm resources. China’s Meishan pig and other local breeds have made great contributions to the overall improvement of global pig reproductive performance, and the excavation and utilization of Wenchang chicken, Qingyuan Ma chicken and other local breeds have given birth to China’s unique yellow-feather broiler industry. At present, the contribution rate of improved varieties in China’s agricultural production increase is over 45%. The third is to inherit the carrier role of Chinese farming civilization. The development history of human society is also a history of inheritance of farming civilization. The Chinese nation has discovered, domesticated and cultivated a large number of agricultural germplasm resources, which are alive, alive and sustainable.It has played an irreplaceable role in inheriting Chinese farming civilization and promoting the development of human society.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources in China has achieved positive results. First, the total resources continue to increase. China’s long-term preservation of more than 510,000 crop resources, more than 560 local species of livestock and poultry, nearly 20,000 aquatic germplasm resources and more than 230,000 microbial resources ranks among the top in the world. In 2015, the country launched the third national survey and collection of agricultural germplasm resources, and collected more than 52,000 new resources. The second is the initial construction of the protection system. Gradually established a long-term bank, medium-term bank, seed conservation field, protected area and gene bank, and a national and provincial agricultural germplasm resources protection system; The construction of a new national crop germplasm bank was fully launched. Third, the development and utilization have achieved remarkable results. Through the appraisal, exploration and creation of germplasm resources, a large number of breakthrough new varieties have been cultivated and popularized. In China, independent varieties of crops account for more than 95%, and the rate of core species of livestock and poultry is more than 70%. Aquatic and agricultural microbial products are mainly independent varieties and resources. A number of ancient local varieties such as Tianjin Xiaozhan Rice and Zhejiang Jinhua Pig have played an important role in promoting the development of regional characteristic industries, building characteristic brands and helping rural revitalization. According to incomplete statistics, in the past five years, through the identification, evaluation and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources, more than 12 national science and technology awards have been supported, and the annual economic benefits have increased by more than 20 billion yuan.

Although China is a big country in germplasm resources, it is not a strong country in germplasm resources. In recent years, the challenges faced by China’s agricultural germplasm resources are becoming more and more severe, and the urgency of strengthening protection and utilization is becoming more and more intense. First, the risk of resource disappearance has intensified. The species and quantity of agricultural germplasm resources under natural ecology have decreased significantly, the speed of disappearance of wild relatives of crops in convenient transportation areas has accelerated, and the number of some local breeds of livestock and poultry and wild aquatic biological resources in coastal waters and river basins has shown a downward trend, which is in urgent need of rescue protection. Second, insufficient development and utilization. Less than 10% of agricultural germplasm resources have been accurately identified by phenotype and genotype, and most of them have not been developed and utilized, and most of them have remained in the primary stage, and resource advantages have not been effectively transformed into industrial advantages. Third, the protection system and supporting policies are not perfect. The national overall planning and graded responsibility protection system has not yet been established, the cost of resource protection continues to increase, and the motivation of protection subjects is insufficient; The treatment of scientific and technical personnel in germplasm resources protection is low, the promotion of professional titles is difficult, the loss is serious and the team is unstable.

Q: In recent years, China has issued some documents on the development of modern seed industry. Compared with previous documents, what are the new requirements in the Opinions?

A:In recent years, the State Council has issued a series of policy documents to support the development of modern seed industry, which has effectively strengthened the status of seed industry as a national basic and strategic core industry. The Opinions is the first important document focusing on the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources since the founding of New China, which has opened a new chapter in the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources. It should be said that it is a historic and programmatic document that manages both the present and the long-term, and has a milestone significance.

First, the "four firsts" have been achieved. First, the basic, public welfare, strategic and long-term orientation of agricultural germplasm resources protection was defined for the first time. Second, the basic principles of protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources with protection priority, government-led, diversified participation and efficient utilization were defined for the first time. Third, for the first time, the main body of responsibility was defined, namely, the management responsibility of the competent department, the territorial responsibility of the municipal and county governments and the main responsibility of the agricultural germplasm resources protection unit. Fourth, it is clear for the first time that agricultural germplasm resources should be managed at the national and provincial levels, and a national overall planning, graded responsibility and organic connection protection mechanism should be established.

Second, the "four core tasks" have been established. First, by carrying out systematic collection and protection, we can realize all the insurance that should be guaranteed. The second is to strengthen the identification and evaluation by building a platform for identification and evaluation of germplasm resources and gene mining, and establishing an identification and evaluation system. The third is to improve the protection system by innovating the protection mechanism, determining the protection units, registering agricultural germplasm resources, and building a unified national big data platform for agricultural germplasm resources. The fourth is to promote diversified development and utilization by implementing the creation and application of excellent germplasm resources and establishing a national trading platform for sharing and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources.

Third, the "four policies with high gold content" were introduced. In the aspect of talent team construction, it is proposed that the performance salary of scientific and technological personnel for germplasm resources protection should be appropriately tilted, and indirect funds can be extracted from projects allowed by the policy; Peer evaluation of scientific and technical personnel for germplasm resources protection, and basic work such as collection, protection, appraisal and evaluation can be used as the basis for professional title evaluation; In terms of land use management, local governments are required to reasonably arrange the land for germplasm resource banks (nurseries, farms and districts), and are not allowed to delimit prohibited areas without authorization or beyond the scope. In terms of financial security, it is stipulated that the relevant departments of the central and local governments can co-ordinate support for resource protection through existing funding channels; Support should also be increased for modern seed industry upgrading projects, national key research and development plans, and major national science and technology projects. In terms of incentive mechanism, units and individuals who have made outstanding contributions are clearly commended and rewarded.

Fourth, it puts forward "four aspects of higher standard requirements". The "Opinions" stipulate that the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources should be included in the relevant government work assessment; Audit institutions shall supervise the implementation of policies through auditing according to law; If serious consequences such as resource loss and extinction are caused, the relevant units and personnel shall be investigated for responsibility according to laws and regulations; The relevant units supported by public finance should implement the mechanism of the achievements and information exchange of germplasm resources research projects under the supervision of the agricultural germplasm resources management department.

Q: At present, the protection of germplasm resources mainly depends on governments at all levels, relevant departments and scientific research institutions. How can we mobilize all social forces and let more farmers and social organizations participate in resource protection?

A:The protection of agricultural germplasm resources is a systematic project, involving many departments and subjects, which requires the extensive participation and support of the whole society. Many ancient local varieties and characteristic resources are protected and continued in the front and back of people’s houses, fields and deep forests. Some local species are as endangered and rare as giant pandas. It is necessary to involve more farmers and social organizations in resource protection. Next, we will do a good job in four aspects.

The first is to raise public awareness. Vigorously carry out popular science propaganda and science education, make full use of the internet, newspapers, television, radio and other media, and carry out video exhibitions and lectures and other activities through a series of scientific and educational films, newspapers, magazines and popular science books, so as to guide social groups and grassroots people to care, support and participate in this work.

The second is to encourage public participation. In the process of general survey and collection of agricultural germplasm resources, we should simultaneously carry out the investigation, collection, collation and protection of relevant traditional knowledge, encourage enterprises and social organizations to undertake the task of protecting agricultural germplasm resources, encourage and support individuals, social organizations and enterprises to register their preserved agricultural germplasm resources, and issue appraisal certificates to the resources that have not been collected and preserved in national resource banks (fields, districts and nurseries), thus forming a good atmosphere for resource protection. At the same time, accelerate the establishment of an commendation and reward mechanism for the protection of agricultural germplasm resources, commend and reward units and individuals who have made outstanding contributions, and stimulate the enthusiasm and initiative to participate in resource protection.

The third is to improve the market mechanism. Accelerate the construction of a national trading platform for the sharing and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources, support the listing and public trading of innovative germplasm, invest in enterprises at a fixed price, support the competitive auction of breeding animals and other activities, improve the interest linkage mechanism and market-oriented operation mechanism of the organic connection of resource registration, exchange and sharing, and industrial development, realize the promotion of protection by use, and increase the sense of gain in participating in resource protection and utilization.

The fourth is to tap the resource culture. Around the major national strategies such as rural revitalization, we will explore a new model of public participation in the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources. Encourage agricultural germplasm resources with typical national traditional cultural characteristics, apply for trademark, geographical indication product protection and important agricultural cultural heritage according to law, and realize better protection of agricultural germplasm resources in sustainable utilization.

Q: The Opinions put forward that the registration of agricultural germplasm resources should be organized. What is the consideration? How to carry out this work in the future?

A:At present, there are still a large number of agricultural germplasm resources scattered in the hands of enterprises, scientific research institutes, universities, social organizations and individuals in China. Due to the lack of a unified national germplasm resources registration and identity information management system, many problems have been brought. First, the resources are unclear. It is unclear who has what resources and how much the total amount is. Second, the conservation and utilization efficiency of germplasm resources is not high. Some resources are repeatedly preserved, communication is not smooth, and human, material and financial resources are wasted. Some excellent germplasm are "hidden in the boudoir" and cannot be effectively protected and fully shared. Third, the information of newly created excellent germplasm is unknown. It can not effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of creators, which is not conducive to stimulating the driving force of germplasm resources innovation. In the future, we will focus on four aspects to promote this work.

The first is to formulate a registration implementation plan. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will, on the basis of in-depth investigation and extensive solicitation of opinions, formulate a unified national implementation plan for the registration of agricultural germplasm resources, and clarify the registration subject, registration scope, registration content, registration process, main measures and supervision and management. According to the requirements of the implementation plan, the national and provincial agricultural and rural competent departments scientifically determine the agricultural germplasm resources protection units in different levels. The registration of agricultural germplasm resources is given priority from the designated protected units, and then gradually extended to scientific research institutes, universities, enterprises, social organizations and individuals.

The second is to compile registration standards and norms. Organize the compilation of general rules for registration standards of agricultural germplasm resources, and compile technical specifications for registration by species according to the characteristics of different types of resources such as crops, livestock and poultry, aquatic products and agricultural microbial germplasm resources, so as to ensure the scientificity and standardization of registration.

The third is to build a registration information system. Research and development of agricultural germplasm resources registration information system, build a national unified big data platform for agricultural germplasm resources, and realize digitalization and informationization of functions such as registration of registered users, registration and reporting of resource identity information, query and statistical analysis of resource identity information, and release and sharing of registered resources.

The fourth is to encourage innovation and sharing. We support enterprises, scientific research institutes and other social organizations to register their preserved agricultural germplasm resources, and carry out conditional sharing and services, and encourage agricultural germplasm resources protection units to carry out resource innovation and technical services. The state will establish a trading platform for sharing and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources, and support innovative germplasm to be listed and publicly traded, priced to enterprises to invest in shares, and stimulate the vitality of germplasm resources protection and innovation through measures such as improving the protection mechanism of innovative germplasm rights and the traceability mechanism of identity information, strengthening rights protection and infringement supervision.

Q: What specific measures will the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs take to promote the implementation of the Opinions?

A:The first is full deployment. According to the unified deployment of the work, we will hold a video conference in due course to study and implement the spirit of the Opinions and deploy and strengthen the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources. At the same time, on the basis of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Group for the Development of Modern Seed Industry, we will strengthen inter-departmental coordination, clarify the division of responsibilities of relevant departments in various places, formulate and improve specific policies and measures, and vigorously promote implementation.

The second is planning guidance. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the provincial agricultural and rural departments (commissions and bureaus) should take the lead in formulating the development plan for the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of the Opinions and in combination with local conditions, refine the objectives, tasks, work measures and support policies, strengthen planning guidance, and effectively implement the requirements of the Opinions.

The third is propaganda and interpretation. We will further intensify publicity by publishing the full text of the Opinions and interpreting the series of experts, so as to respond to social concerns in a timely manner and create a good atmosphere. At the same time, we will explore activities such as the Germplasm Resources Protection Publicity Week and the Germplasm Resources Protection Journalists’ Bank.

The fourth is to highlight key points. This year, we will focus on the general survey and collection of agricultural germplasm resources, the confirmation and listing of protected units, the registration of agricultural germplasm resources, the exchange of agricultural germplasm resources and information, the formulation of development plans for the protection and utilization of agricultural germplasm resources, the accurate appraisal and evaluation of agricultural germplasm resources, and the construction of innovative germplasm trading platforms, and promote the comprehensive implementation of the Opinions in an orderly manner.

The fifth is to consolidate responsibility. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will take the lead in refining the timetable and road map for the implementation of the Opinions, introduce the implementation plan in a timely manner, supervise and dispatch the implementation in conjunction with relevant departments, and conduct interviews and admonitions, informed criticism or accountability and accountability for regions, units and individuals that have failed to promote their work and fail to implement their responsibilities, and regularly report the progress of their work to the State Council to ensure that the objectives and tasks set out in the Opinions are implemented.

　　CCTV News:India is preparing to implement the second round of counter-measures and Mexico is preparing for the second round of retaliation. In the past few days, the trade conflict between the United States and its allies has escalated step by step, and the pressure on Trump from its allies has also increased. In the melee, some American scholars worry that the current government’s practice will accelerate the decline of the United States.

　　According to the "India Times" reported on the 17th, the documents of the World Trade Organization (WTO) show that the Indian government has proposed to impose tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% on 30 kinds of imported goods from the United States as a counter-measure to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum on the Trump administration.

　　This is the second time in less than two months that India has launched a counter-measure against the unilateral trade actions of the United States — —In May, India imposed tariffs on 20 kinds of American imports, including almonds and apples, with the highest tax rate as high as 100%.The media noticed that in the second round of India’s counterattack, the American goods with the highest tax rate, that is, the 50% tariff, happened to be Harley motorcycles that were regarded as the classic symbol of American manufacturing. Trump had previously publicly asked other countries to reduce import tariffs on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, so this move in India was accused of being "highly targeted".

　　In addition to the second round of Indian countermeasures, Reuters reported that Mexico is also studying a new round of retaliatory tariffs against the United States. After the United States imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum on Mexico, Canada and the European Union on the 1st of this month, Mexico was the first to take retaliatory measures. The targets of its first round of counter-tariffs included steel and pork, but it did not target American agricultural products with the highest yield. However, the second round of tariffs exposed by the media will target US products with a total amount of US$ 4 billion, and the targets will also become strategic soybeans and corn.

　　In Canada, because Prime Minister Trudeau was criticized by Trump on trade issues, Canadians who have always shown a moderate image are also angry — — According to the latest survey released by Ipsos, a market research company, as many as 70% of Canadians will try to reduce the use of American products in the future.

　　The New York Times recently collected and publicized the views of some Canadian netizens on Trump’s provocation of the US-Canada trade war:

　　Some netizens said, "In American history, there is no better ally than Canada. Has Canada benefited? Sure. But now, since bilateral relations are not mutually beneficial, many people should begin to wonder how long this alliance will last. "

　　Some netizens said, "Every old American friend has realized in a cruel way that the Trump administration is unreasonable, can’t be persuaded by rational discussion, and is not our friend."

　　Some netizens said, "The United States is not the only place where Canadian goods can be exported. Canadians are warm and friendly, but we will never be bullied by the United States. "

　　　　　　 According to CCTV-13 news channel "News Live Room", Wang Jian, aged 27, and Liu Huan, aged 20, both worked in Changzhou for many years. As two young people wandering in a foreign land, they fell in love in July 2018. However, after only three months, Liu Huan’s medical certificate made a great change in their lives.

　　　　　　 Liu Huan was diagnosed with tuberculous peritonitis. It costs tens of thousands of yuan to be hospitalized in Changzhou. Considering the financial constraints, Liu Huan decided to go back to his hometown for herbal treatment after consulting with his family. However, what Wang Jian didn’t expect was that Liu Huan’s condition suddenly deteriorated two months later. Due to the limited local medical conditions in Guizhou, Liu Huan can only wait for his parents to chip in and go to other places for medical treatment.

　　　　　　 Wang Jian knew that Liu Huan’s illness could not wait any longer. He wanted to take Liu Huan to Changzhou for treatment and contacted a doctor. It is not an easy task to take Liu Huan, who is seriously ill, to Changzhou. Along the way, Wang Jian traveled more than 4,000 kilometers by motorcycle, car and plane. For Wang Jian, every step of the 4000 kilometers is a breakthrough, but the young man’s idea of saving his girlfriend has never changed.

　　　　　　 At present, Liu Huan is still receiving treatment in the hospital, waiting for further surgery. However, their story was reported and more people knew it. Wang Jian received love donations from all over the country. However, the two decided not to accept donations when the amount of donations was enough for the current medical expenses. Money is enough to save lives, and more money should be used to save others. This limited acceptance of donations is another responsibility that Wang Jian and Liu Huan are fulfilling, so that love and donations can enter an infinite virtuous circle and help more people in need.

　　　　　　 [Keywords:] copyright "black hole"

　　　　　　 According to CCTV-1 comprehensive channel "Evening News", recently, six places in the world released the first photo of human black hole, which took two years to develop. Unexpectedly, the next day, a website named "vision china" claimed the copyright of this photo. When the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. The common achievement of mankind, how did copyright become this company? Sure enough, because of this incident, this company is in trouble.

　　　　　　 A cosmic black hole leads to an industrial black hole. Only by protecting intellectual property rights can there be more and better original works, which has become a social consensus. China is also constantly strengthening the legal system and supervision system for intellectual property protection. With the face of "what can I do?", vision china sells legal affairs, which infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of the creators and "extorts rights from users". Both the creator and the user have suffered, so the online phrase "vision china has suffered for a long time" came into being. This kind of bad activity has been successful many times, which has seriously damaged the market order and shown the public a blood-sucking cancer in copyright trading. It is necessary to severely punish vision china; It is even more necessary to guard against the next vision china. A healthy and benign copyright market is bound to stimulate the creative enthusiasm of the original creators, and it is bound to be a market that does not give vision china any chance to survive.

　　　　　　 Keywords: willfulness is not a reason

　　　　　　 According to the CCTV-12 social and legal channel "Hotline 12", recently, the Kaixuan Police Station of Jianggan Branch of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau in Zhejiang Province received an alarm saying that at an intersection in the jurisdiction, a man and a woman were disheveled and squatting in the middle of the road, which seriously affected the normal passage of passing vehicles. After the police rushed to the scene, they were taken away for questioning. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened later.

　　　　　　 It turned out that at this time, the police station received another report that a fire broke out in a nearby community, and this community was only a few hundred meters away from the intersection where couples made trouble. The burning room is where the couple live. According to the man’s memory, because of anger, the woman lit a paper towel and threw it on the bed, trying to scare her boyfriend by arson. Although the man quickly put out the fire, in fact, the fire at that time was not completely extinguished, which led to the fire. More than 100 people were evacuated from the scene, three or four fire engines were dispatched at the same time, a dozen or twenty police officers arrived at the scene, and more fire officers and soldiers were dispatched. The scene in the process of fire fighting aroused people’s disgust: the woman found the room on fire and tried to break into the fire to save the cat without wearing any protective equipment. But in fact, firefighters have rescued the cat, only because the white cat was smoked to gray, the woman did not recognize it. And most importantly, the first consideration at the scene of the fire should be personal safety. Just because of her wayward behavior, it has seriously affected the surrounding people. As a result, the woman’s first thought is herself.

　　　　　　 After further investigation by the police, the couple who staged this farce were criminally detained on suspicion of arson, and it was illegal for them to commit suicide by squatting in the middle of the road. Therefore, the police also punished this behavior.

　　　　　　 The outbreak of this extreme emotion is also a major security risk to society in many cases. This is a typical giant baby mentality. This mentality is particularly obvious in this case, and both the woman and the man actually have related responsibilities. In recent years, people like this and farce like this are common occurrences. Experts believe that these people should enhance their legal awareness and learn to control their emotions, and they should not allow their actions to break through the bottom line of law and society.

　　　　　　 [Keywords:] refugee crisis

　　　　　　 According to CCTV-13 news channel "News Live Room", the "Wasi Refugee Camp" on Samos Island in Greece has been a hot spot of concern to all walks of life in Greece and relevant United Nations organizations in the past six months — — The overcrowding there and the deteriorating health and order are becoming more and more disturbing.

　　　　　　 Maria, the person in charge of "Wasi Refugee Camp", told reporters that according to the agreement signed between the EU and Turkey in March 2016, all refugees who arrived in Greek islands through Turkey must go through the asylum application procedures in situ, and should be repatriated to Turkey immediately after being rejected. However, in fact, the number of repatriated people has been very small, which has caused a large number of refugees to stay, and the refugee camps are increasingly overwhelmed — — Take the "Wasi Refugee Camp" which was put into use in 2013 as an example. Originally, it could only accommodate 700 people. Due to the continuous influx of refugees, the refugee camp has been expanded twice on a large scale. Now, there are nearly 3,000 people living in the wall, and nearly 1,000 people are crowded in the temporary tent outside the wall. Although the number of staff in the refugee camp has increased from the initial 9 to 129, it is still difficult to cope with the deteriorating situation inside and outside the refugee camp.

　　Seafood business is booming, but because some seafood products are expensive and the import and transportation costs are high, some lawless elements aim at another "way to get rich" and gain benefits through smuggling.

　　A few days ago, the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Beijing Customs seized a family-run smuggling criminal gang headed by Hong Moge. Hong’s smuggling gangs have been smuggling frozen seafood from South America, Vietnam and other overseas areas for a long time to sell in China, seeking illegal benefits, and the amount is huge. Beijing Customs decided to close the net against Hong’s smuggling gang. At 7 o’clock in the morning, the sky was still dark. The police came to the residential area where the suspect lived. Because they didn’t understand the situation inside the house, the police decided to enter the unit building first to explore.

　　Hong Tao (a pseudonym) is the eldest son of Hong Moge, the principal criminal of the Hong smuggling gang. At present, Hongmou Pavilion has almost retired behind the scenes, and Hong Tao has taken over the smuggling gang. Hong’s smuggling gang members are family-run crimes, with six strongholds throughout the country. On the day of the arrest, Beijing Customs, together with other provinces, cities and customs offices, wiped out Hong’s smuggling gang, arrested 15 suspects and seized and sealed more than 20 tons of frozen seafood, with a case value exceeding 200 million yuan. A few days ago, this smuggling case was heard in public in the Beijing No.4 Intermediate People’s Court. More than a dozen defendants were either father and son, husband and wife, or relatives. This also opened the inside story of the rise and fall of this smuggling family.

　　Hong Moge, 56, is not only the leader of the Hong family, but also the pioneer of the family business. Among all commodity categories, the profit of imported aquatic products is higher, and Hongmou Pavilion has gradually locked its business in it. After more than ten years’ operation, Hongmouge has become a big seller of imported shrimp in the industry, and buyers from all over the world have found Hongmouge one after another, because the imported shrimp in Hongmouge is of good quality and low price. The key to lower prices is that Hongmou Pavilion has a "golden waterway" for purchasing goods.

　　Residents who live near the border and meet the requirements are called border residents. The border trade policy is a beneficial policy for China to promote the healthy development of border trade and prosper border economy. In this way, Hongmou Pavilion used the border people to transport imported shrimps into China and then distribute them to all parts of the country, thus successfully escaping import duties and value-added tax. Hong Moge knows that this kind of behavior is illegal, so he has been looking for ways to avoid the blow and ensure the continuation of the family smuggling business.

　　The smuggling territory is getting bigger and bigger, and Hong Moge began to think about successors. Smuggling, illegal and profitable, Hong Moge identified his eldest son Hong Tao (a pseudonym) as the first successor. The smuggling behavior of the Hong family has attracted the attention of the Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau. According to the investigation, during the four years from 2015 to 2019, the smuggling gang in Hongmouge smuggled 498 containers of aquatic products into the country through the process of breaking up the frozen shrimp, and the tax evasion amounted to more than 59.6 million yuan. At the time of the crime, Hong Moge and his two sons, as well as his daughter-in-law and brother-in-law, were all arrested, and the smuggling business of the Hong family stopped.

　　Over the years, Hongmou Pavilion has worked hard and accumulated huge wealth, and the whole family has purchased many properties in Beijing. The Beijing No.4 Intermediate People’s Court found that the defendant Hong Moge was guilty of smuggling ordinary goods, sentenced to 13 years in prison and fined 15 million yuan; His son Hong Tao was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 3 million; The remaining ten people were also punished accordingly. After the trial, Hong Moge, who was over half a century old, expressed such feelings. Tax is taken from the people and used by the people. The purpose of taxation is to ensure the normal operation of the country. Whether it’s Hongmou Pavilion, which smuggled imported aquatic products to avoid paying customs duties, or Weiya, the queen of goods, who was previously fined 1.341 billion yuan, who evaded taxes, she will definitely be punished.

　　China Weather Network News The cold wave is coming! On December 12th, a strong cold air began to affect our country. Today, it will affect along the Yangtze River, and tomorrow it will reach Jiangnan and South China. Affected by this, the temperature in most parts of the country will hit a new low one after another until December 15th. Not only that, the large-scale rain and snow weather in the south will also be carried out on this "strong cold air train", and many cities may usher in snow at the beginning of this winter.

　　Strong winds and cooling will appear one after another, and the temperature in various places will be as low as "March 9" in a large area.

　　Yesterday, this strong cold air has begun to affect China, but it is still in the "starting" stage. The affected area is only in the plateau area, and most other areas are still in a relatively stable state, such as North China, Huanghuai, Jianghan and other places. Fog and haze still appeared in the morning, but at night, with the cold air killing, the visibility improved, and the gale cooling also officially appeared one after another.

　　This morning, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a blue warning of cold wave. It is predicted that from 08: 00 on December 13th to 08: 00 on December 15th, the temperature will drop by 6 ~ 8℃ in the eastern part of Northeast China, southeastern part of Northwest China, most of North China, most of Huanghuai, most of Jianghuai, Jianghan, Jiangnan, eastern part of Southwest China and most of South China. Among them, the temperature will drop by 10℃ in some areas such as southwest Hunan, southeast Guizhou and central and northern Guangxi. After cooling, the minimum temperature line of 0℃ will be pressed south to the line from southern Guizhou to northwestern Zhejiang. There are 4 ~ 6 northerly winds with gusts of 7 ~ 8 in the north, 4 ~ 5 northerly winds in the south, 6 ~ 7 gusts in rivers and lakes, 6 ~ 8 northerly winds with gusts of 9 in offshore waters.

　　This cold air moves faster. It has arrived along the Yangtze River today and will "cross" the Yangtze River. Tomorrow, it will mainly affect Jiangnan and South China. Affected by this, the early high temperature pattern in all parts of the country will be completely broken and turned to be obviously low. Since it is a cold wave, the power of this strong cold air is not only that, of course. It will also cause the temperature in most parts of the country to hit a new low since beginning of winter, and let many areas experience the "March 9th" and "April 9th" cold in advance.

　　According to the forecast, the temperature in the northern region will hit a new low on the 13th to 14th. For example, in the northeast region, the highest temperature will generally drop to around -10℃, and the lowest temperature will drop all the way below -20℃. The highest temperature in the eastern part of northwest China, North China, Huanghuai and other places will drop to about 0℃, and the lowest temperature will only be around -10℃. In the southern region, the temperature will generally hit a new low on the 14th to 15th. In many places in Jianghuai, Jianghan and Jiangnan, it is only about 5℃ during the day, which can be called winter.

　　It is worth noting that after the end of this cold wave process, there will be another cold air impact from December 16 to 18. It is expected that the intensity will be weaker than the current one, but it will also make the temperature in most places continue to be low. In a word, the recent cold air is the rhythm of one after another. Everyone needs to pay attention to the approaching forecast, and it is the key to do a good job of cold protection and warmth.

　　There is little and weak snowfall in the north, and the rain and snow in the south are frozen on the line.

　　In terms of precipitation, the rain and snow brought by this strong cold air to the north is generally weak, mainly because there will be some rain and snow processes in the central and eastern regions; In the south, on the contrary, riding the "strong cold air train", rain and snow will spread out on a large scale. It is estimated that today, there will be small to medium snow or sleet in parts of the eastern part of the northwest, Jianghan, Jianghuai, western and northern Jiangnan, and eastern Guizhou, among which there will be heavy snow in southern Anhui and northwestern Hubei. There are small to moderate rains in parts of Sichuan Basin, most of Chongqing, western Guizhou, eastern Yunnan, southern Jiangnan, most of southern China and Taiwan Province Island, among which there is local heavy rain in southern Guangxi.

　　Tomorrow, the freezing situation of rain and snow in the southern region can’t be underestimated. It is expected that there will be small to medium snow or sleet in parts of southwestern Xinjiang, eastern Xizang, southwestern Shaanxi, southern Hubei, western and northern Jiangnan, and northern and eastern Guizhou. There are small to moderate rains in parts of southeastern Xizang, eastern Southwest China, central and southern Jiangnan, and most of southern China, among which there is heavy rain in the northeast of Taiwan Province Island.

　　It is understood that the southernmost snow line of this precipitation process can reach the first line of southern Guizhou-southern Hunan-northwestern Jiangxi-northwestern Zhejiang. Many places including Wuhan and Changsha will begin to experience the process of rain-to-snow at night, such as Wuhan. It is possible to usher in snowfall this evening, but due to the high ground temperature, the snow will not be obvious. In addition, in Guizhou and the western part of Hunan, freezing rain may start from tonight and will continue until tomorrow. The wet and icy roads may greatly affect the morning peak next Monday.

　　Generally speaking, rain, snow and freezing at low temperature in Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and other places will lead to slippery roads, snow or icy roads. Public travel in these areas needs to pay attention to safety and arrange travel time reasonably.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:On the 20th local time, EU member states held a high-level video conference to discuss some confidential issues such as security threats facing the EU. However, during the meeting, a Dutch reporter suddenly went online, joined the video conference and waved to the participants. After being warned that his behavior was suspected of committing a crime, the reporter apologized for "going offline". The meeting also ended early because of this episode.

　　　　　　 Fairlamb, a Dutch journalist, explained to the media after the incident that he successfully "broke into" the meeting according to the address and password published by the Dutch Ministry of Defence on his social media account, and he did not expect to enter a confidential meeting that the EU claimed to have taken multiple security measures so easily. At present, it is not clear what kind of legal consequences Fairlamb will face, but he said that if he is prosecuted, it means that the EU "would rather attack journalists than solve its own security loopholes".

CCTV News:According to WeChat official account’s news that Shanghai Internet rumored WeChat, the Shanghai rumor platform recently received fans’ inquiries about whether the news that "Shanghai will bid for the Olympic Games" is true. Shanghai Sports Bureau replied that Shanghai has no plans to bid for the Olympic Games at present.

　　Although Shanghai has no plans to bid for the Olympic Games, it is closely related to the Olympic spirit. In May this year, when President Bach of the International Olympic Committee visited Shanghai, he said that many sports practices in Shanghai are exemplary. He looked forward to cooperation with Shanghai and believed that Shanghai would become an Olympic sports city. Gong Zheng, Mayor of Shanghai said that under the guidance of the International Olympic Committee, Shanghai will introduce more top international events, gather more international sports organizations, actively participate in international sports exchanges and cooperation, and make greater contributions to the development of the international Olympic cause.

　　According to the introduction of the Municipal Sports Bureau, in February this year, Shanghai formally submitted its bid to the International Olympic Committee for the first stop of the Olympic qualification series, including freestyle BMX, skateboarding, break dancing and rock climbing. Recently, the International Olympic Committee officially confirmed that Shanghai will be one of the host cities of the Olympic qualification series, and the competition will be held in Huangpu Riverside from May 16 to 19, 2024. In addition, in 2024, 2025 and 2026, Shanghai has introduced new international top single sports events. However, Shanghai has no plans to bid for the Olympic Games.

　　Maybe some netizens want to ask, there is also the word "Olympic Games" in the "Olympic Qualification Series". What is its relationship with the Olympic Games? As the name implies, the Olympic qualification series is a competition for athletes to qualify for the Olympic Games, and it is an important step for freestyle BMX, break dancing, skateboarding and rock climbing athletes to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, but it is very different from the comprehensive Olympic Games, and the two cannot be equated.

　　At the press conference held by the Shanghai Municipal Government on September 26th, we also introduced the holding of the Shanghai leg of the Olympic Qualifying Series. It is reported that Shanghai uses the existing riverside open space to hold the Olympic qualification series, hoping to create a more open, inclusive and shared sports environment for the citizens, and create a charming riverside waterfront space that is athletic, social, green, powerful, fast and hot.
