Rational planning, avoiding over-consumption and over-consumption, are you willing to spend money by stages?

  The report of the 19th National Congress proposed that we should implement the new development concept and build a modern economic system.

  In this regard, it is an important content to improve the system and mechanism of promoting consumption and enhance the basic role of consumption in economic development. In recent years, consumption has replaced investment as the first driving force of economic growth. Behind this, the innovation of payment methods brought by technical means has contributed greatly, and installment consumption is one of them. "Spend tomorrow’s money and enjoy today’s resources", whether it is life consumption such as digital electronics, home appliances and furniture, or service consumption such as training, tourism and entertainment, the tentacles of phased consumption have extended to all aspects of life.

  Can installment consumption really make people enjoy life ahead of schedule easily? In the face of the network staging platform with spurt growth, how should consumers rationally stage and make good use of staging?

  How hot is the market?

  "It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of college students around me have used installment consumption, and food, clothing, housing and transportation, leisure and entertainment can all be solved by installment consumption."

  "With children at home, the requirements for environmental sanitation are relatively high. My British Dyson vacuum cleaner was made of JD.COM white stripes. I often shop in JD.COM, and I can avoid paying interest by installments with coupons. It is much more economical to installment this year than to use a bank credit card. " Hao Yihang, an employee of a large state-owned enterprise in Beijing, is a fan of JD.COM IOUs. In his words, the slogan of "Consumption by stages, so that youth does not leave blank" attracts young people. The service of "Shopping first, paying later" and "30 days interest-free and staging at will" makes life consumption zero obstacles. "Consumption by stages is so cool!"

  It reduces the pressure of one-time payment, and the relaxed shopping experience of "installment consumption" makes people happy. Hao Yihang said that Apple’s upcoming iPhone X, which he also intends to buy in stages, will not cause economic pressure and keep up with the trend. Staging consumption can make the monthly salary diversified and meet more new consumption needs.

  The application method is flexible, the application procedure is convenient, there is no need for mortgage guarantee, and the approval speed is fast. With these characteristics, installment consumption quickly wins the favor of young people. The group represented by "post-90 s" grew up in the era of rapid development of the Internet, and accepted new technologies, new things and new products with a high degree. Pursuing efficiency and enjoying the present are their main consumption concepts, and this group is the main force of phased consumption.

  "It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of college students around me have used installment consumption, and food, clothing, housing and transportation, leisure and entertainment can all be solved through installment consumption." Wang Peng is a junior in a university in Beijing. As early as when he first entered school, he began to use installment consumption, which was very convenient.

  "This year, the money I signed up for the TOEFL training class was solved by stages. A TOEFL class costs more than 30 thousand yuan, and I ask my parents directly. I’m a little embarrassed. After using the staging platform, I will take out some money from the living expenses to repay the loan on schedule every month. Although there is some interest, I think it is worthwhile. " Wang Peng said that installment consumption is very common among college students, ranging from buying computers and mobile phones, education and training, to recharging phone bills and purchasing tickets for movies. They all like to choose installment.

  In the past two years, the installment consumption platform has developed rapidly, especially the "internet plus installment consumption" platform has made up for the shortcomings of the traditional financial industry and served the groups that it failed to cover. Recently, the industry has welcomed the "regular army", banks have returned to the field of campus installment consumer credit, and the market is gradually standardizing. According to the forecast of relevant institutions, in the past five years, the average annual growth rate of installment consumption loans exceeded 20%.

  How tempting is it?

  Some merchants deliberately weaken the intermediary fees and induce consumers with the gimmick of "low threshold, zero interest and zero down payment", while the handling fee and service fee behind the products are actually higher than the interest.

  "I obviously bought a 5799 yuan mobile phone, but the final repayment was more than 1700 yuan, which means that I spent nearly 8000 yuan on this mobile phone. Although the mobile phone was used more than one year in advance, it also paid a price. " Speaking of installment consumption, Zhao Xiaoxian, a chef in a restaurant in Hefei, Anhui Province, felt quite helpless. "It is very difficult for migrant workers like me who have no stable income to apply for bank credit cards. Online merchants lied to me that installment consumption threshold is low, procedures are convenient and interest is low. However, in the final calculation, the handling fees are higher than the interest. "

  Dong Ximiao, a senior researcher at Chongyang Financial Research Institute of Renmin University of China, believes that the staged consumer market is developing rapidly, but the good and the bad are mixed, and many services are falsely advertised. The main purpose of staging business on the consumer platform is to expand users’ staging consumption, but the way to expand customers mainly comes from offline, and salesmen are easy to cheat and induce consumers for the sake of performance. Some merchants deliberately weaken the intermediary fees, and basically induce consumers with the gimmick of "low threshold, zero interest and zero down payment", while the handling fee and service fee behind the products are actually higher than the interest, which makes consumers feel miserable.

  "The development of bank credit card business is relatively mature, and both the bank’s own risk control system and regulatory regulations are relatively perfect. However, the staged market has outstanding problems such as false propaganda and induced sales promotion in a fierce competitive environment. " Dong Ximiao said.

  The installment consumption business of traditional commercial banks is standardized, mainly for consumers with stable income. Consumers have lower risk in using it and can effectively protect their rights and interests. The market gap that traditional commercial banks can’t cover has inspired the rise of Internet staging platforms, which have low thresholds and are aimed at social groups such as students and migrant workers. Coupled with the lag of regulatory policies, some disadvantages of installment consumption are constantly emerging.

  For example, it is inevitable that unqualified consumers will default in time on the staging platform. Salespeople usually "salute before soldiers", but the effect of "collection" will be linked to performance. Because there is no standardized and legalized collection supervision policy at present, there are different kinds of violent collection behaviors in the staged market in reality.

  The risk of disclosure of personal information makes installment consumption a safety hazard. Many people have encountered the problem of "receiving a collection message without a loan" and "being registered under an assumed name without registration". Most people will choose to ignore it, but doing so may affect consumers’ credit information and bring inconvenience to life and work.

  In addition, from the consumer’s own point of view, staged consumption increases irrational consumption behavior. The amount of payment is reduced when the installment is consumed, which makes people have the illusion of spending less. The risk monitoring measures of many platforms are not in place, which may easily lead to credit problems such as overdue default by unqualified consumers.

  How hard is it to choose?

  By means of digital management and information sharing, we will strengthen the construction of credit system and prevent multi-head lending. Consumers should abandon vanity, comparison and blind obedience.

  Behind the popularity of installment consumption, how can we rationally use and manage installment consumption?

  Dong Ximiao believes that from the perspective of regulators, we should continue to carry out the special rectification of Internet finance and increase the cleaning and rectification of various stages of consumption platforms. For the platform with disorderly operation and chaotic management, if it fails to pass the filing in accordance with the regulations, measures should be taken to resolutely close it.

  "At present, China’s credit information market still needs to be further improved, and the problem of long-term lending in the industry has not been completely solved. I believe that after the sharing of credit information data at the national level in the future, the whole industry will develop more healthily and orderly." Dong Ximiao said.

  Credit data is an important link in risk control of phased consumption platform. Companies such as Taobao, JD.COM, Ctrip, etc., which have mastered the consumption scenes of hundreds of millions of users, have a large user base and many data resources, and can keenly capture the credit rating of users, and the cost of risk control is low. It is difficult for other financial platforms to accurately judge consumers’ credit information "Facebook".

  "Now, for installment consumption, we have to put a lot of energy into risk prevention and control. It can be said that if the risk control is done well, the operating cost will be reduced, and the platform installment consumption interest rate will be reduced accordingly, thus attracting more quality customers." Gao Sheng, the public relations director of Staged Music Mall, said, "For example, we are now using artificial intelligence technology to develop ‘ Hawkeye ’ The intelligent risk control engine has more than 6,000 risk control model data variables, which can greatly improve the efficiency of risk control audit. "

  Dong Ximiao suggested strengthening the construction of credit infrastructure, consolidating and enriching the credit information system by means of digital management and information sharing, improving the risk identification ability and risk prevention efficiency of installment consumption business, and enabling institutions and customers to enjoy more convenience in inclusive finance.

  Banks and internet platforms should further improve or establish their own risk assessment and monitoring systems, objectively evaluate users’ consumption levels, and reasonably set credit lines; Staging consumption business institutions and platforms should correctly carry out marketing propaganda, put an end to false propaganda and induced propaganda, and set up necessary punishment mechanisms.

  For consumers, we should carefully choose between bank credit card and installment payment platform, and try to choose a bank credit card with a more formal and perfect management system. If you choose the internet installment consumption platform, you should carefully check how to calculate the installment consumption interest, handling fee and service fee to prevent being charged with high interest and service fee.

  "Installment consumption is a form of prepayment. If the repayment is overdue, it will not only increase the overdue interest, but also affect their credit rating, and even some financial institutions will terminate the installment business." Dong Ximiao said that consumers should abandon the bad mentality of vanity, comparison and blind obedience, carefully weigh whether the purchase of goods is reasonable, and formulate reasonable consumption and repayment plans to avoid over-consumption and over-consumption.

  The insiders believe that for platforms with relatively standardized operations, the principle of "same business, same supervision" should be adopted to implement penetrating supervision, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of financial consumers and protect the security of personal information. At the same time, we will strengthen the monitoring of the installment business it provides in terms of loan purposes and capital flow. Consumers should also enhance their risk awareness, strengthen the study of financial consumption and network security knowledge, and not disclose personal information at will to improve their ability to identify and prevent bad businesses.

  What are the installment consumption platforms? (link)

  In the past two years, staged consumption platforms have mushroomed, with different application scenarios and different characteristics.

  JD.COM White Strip: the first Internet consumer financial product in the industry. You can enjoy a deferred payment period of up to 30 days or a payment by installments of up to 24 days if you use white bars for payment on JD.COM website. In recent years, JD.COM White Bar has been integrated into more consumption scenes, gradually covering the fields of renting, tourism, decoration, education, wedding and so on, extending from credit purchase service to providing credit consumption loans to provide credit consumption services for more consumers.

  Ant Flower Garden: Born in the e-commerce department, it mainly supports multi-scene shopping. Its main application scenarios are Taobao and Tmall. Recently, it has also settled in most e-commerce shopping platforms, such as Amazon, Suning and local life service websites, such as word of mouth, Meituan, public comment, etc., and also involved some overseas shopping websites.

  Staging music: Staging music in the staged shopping mall under Lexin Group is a new consumption platform of "e-commerce+finance". The shopping mall consumption scene involves 3C digital, outdoor sports, beauty care, eating, drinking and having fun, etc. It is the official authorized distributor of Apple mobile phones. The platform provides phased consumption services for mainstream consumer groups such as young people and white-collar workers.

  Consumer finance company: it is a non-bank financial institution that provides unsecured and unsecured consumer loans. According to the "2017 Internet Consumer Finance Development Report and Outlook" by Suning Financial Research Institute, there are currently 22 licensed consumer finance companies in China, of which banks account for more than 90%. Consumer finance companies have offline channels, and offline outlets basically involve the whole country. Many licensed financial consumer companies have launched in-store consumption business to expand the financial consumer market. With the development of internet finance in recent years, many consumer finance companies have begun to cooperate with e-commerce platforms to develop online consumer credit business.

Media friends:

Good morning everyone!

The Party Group of Zhengzhou Municipal Market Supervision Administration attaches great importance to the protection of consumers’ rights and interests. In 2020, according to the reform plan and work requirements of market supervision institutions, the Municipal Bureau established a new Zhengzhou 12315 Complaint Reporting Rights Protection Center. With the number of "12315", we provided market supervision consultation, complaint and report services to the outside world, and opened 30 telephone seats to provide 24-hour hotline service for consumers in our city throughout the year. At the same time, the Municipal Bureau focuses on serving people’s livelihood, insists on keeping integrity and innovation, and actively builds a consumer rights protection network. In all major enterprises and supermarkets in the city, a "consumer rights protection service station" has been established, and enterprises have been mobilized to actively solve "online consumption disputes", organized "safe consumption creation" activities, and promoted the commitment mechanism of "no reason to return goods offline". Through various efforts, the city’s consumer market has been further purified, the market consumption environment has been optimized, and the sense of gain and happiness in the consumer environment has been improved.

In 2020, the city’s 12315 system received 413001 consumer inquiries, complaints and reports, including 258168 inquiries, 81800 complaints and 73033 reports. 81,593 complaints were settled, with a settlement rate of 99.74%. The amount of disputes involved in the complaints was 334.1707 million yuan, and the amount of economic losses recovered was 72.5416 million yuan. 72,743 reports were completed, with a completion rate of 99.6%.

Judging from the way of acceptance, the 12315 hotline received 325195 consumer appeals this year, and it is still the main channel for complaint acceptance; The national 12315 Internet platform received 61436 consumer appeals, which was the second acceptance channel; The mobile client, WeChat, Alipay applet and mobile APP received 21,026 consumer appeals, and the receiving volume increased significantly. There were 5,344 incoming letters and other forms, and the proportion of receiving letters decreased compared with previous years, indicating that the trend of consumer complaints is developing in the direction of convenience, digitalization, networking and intelligence, and also embodying the advantages of "internet plus" government services.

Based on the summary analysis of hot issues of consumer complaints in 2020, it is mainly reflected in the following five aspects:

I. Complaints and reports on residents’ services and daily necessities

A total of 8959 such complaints and reports were accepted throughout the year. First, fitness and sports venues. The problems of recharging and refunding fees caused by the epidemic situation, such as not being able to operate normally, changing business address, leaving private education, etc., mainly include "it is easy to apply for a card, it is difficult to return the card", "closing the store and running away", "restricting consumption" and "standard terms". The second is clothing, shoes and hats. There are many disputes about return and exchange caused by inconsistent ingredients, quality defects, physical differences and after-sales service. The third is a cultural communication company. Tickets are sold online, but affected by epidemic control or other reasons, which leads to the cancellation of performances or disguised price increases, and it is difficult for consumers to refund tickets.

After the intention to buy a car, the merchant promised to get a refund, but in the end, it was impossible to get a refund, the consumer could not pick up the car within the promised time, and the 4s shop did not agree to change the model, which made it difficult for consumers to get a refund. The second is the issue of fees. After the repayment of the car by installment is completed, the problem of charging the handling fee for releasing the charge; The third is vehicle maintenance. During the warranty period, vehicle maintenance, on the grounds that there are no accessories, will not be repaired or buck passing, as well as the abnormal quality of the car after the three-guarantee sale.

Next, please ask Chen Xiaoyan, Deputy Secretary-General of Zhengzhou Consumers Association, to issue a consumption reminder for 2021.

Chen Xiaoyan

In 2020, Internet service complaints ranked the third among all kinds of complaints accepted by Zhengzhou Consumers Association in the whole year, including 834 complaints and inquiries involving Zhengzhou Branch of Great Wall Broadband Network Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Great Wall Broadband"). The main problems that consumers reflected on "Great Wall Broadband" were: First, poor network signal; Second, the refund time is long, and the phenomenon of delaying and shirking is serious; Third, the calculation of refund is unreasonable; Fourth, in the case that broadband services cannot be guaranteed, we will continue to induce uninformed consumers to pay broadband fees. In response to consumer complaints, Zhengzhou Consumers Association has repeatedly talked about "Great Wall Broadband" and urged it to introduce solutions as soon as possible. Up to now, a large number of consumer complaints have been delayed.

Zhengzhou Consumers Association believes that "Great Wall Broadband" company’s internal management is lax, its service concept is not correct, its awareness of safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests is weak, and its principle of good faith management is weakened, which fails to fulfill its legal responsibility as the first person responsible for safeguarding consumer rights and interests, resulting in the infringement of consumers’ right to know, fair trade and claim. Therefore, Zhengzhou Consumers Association reminds consumers: In view of the fact that "Great Wall Broadband is easy to pay and difficult to protect rights", please carefully choose "Great Wall Broadband" service.

In addition, we should pay attention to the following points when choosing broadband services: First, we should choose carefully. Go to a regular, reputable and complete after-sales service communication operator, and don’t believe in small advertisements posted at roadside agents or on the street, as well as broadband services sold at home. The second is to pay attention to retaining contracts and consumption credentials. Sign a written contract, and don’t trust verbal promises easily. When signing a contract, you should carefully read the terms of the contract, ask for an invoice in time after payment, keep relevant consumption and transaction credentials, and try to avoid transferring service fees to personal accounts through WeChat or Alipay. The third is to protect rights according to the law. When consumers encounter disputes, they can safeguard their legitimate rights and interests by negotiating with operators, asking consumers’ associations for mediation, complaining to relevant administrative departments, and bringing a lawsuit to the people’s court.

Next, please ask reporters to ask questions about your concerns. Before asking questions, first inform your unit.

Dahe. com: In recent years, with the rise of live webcasting, there are more and more online shopping disputes. Can you briefly introduce this situation?

Luo Xiangyu

Online shopping is now a favorite consumption mode of our consumers, especially the rise of live webcasting with goods in recent two years, which has further promoted the network economy. But in fact, there is no big difference between webcasting and online shopping, both of which belong to remote shopping. Due to the rise of such remote shopping, consumer complaints are increasing day by day.

Taking 2020 as an example, the city’s 12315 system accepted about 15,000 online shopping complaints, accounting for nearly 20%. The main complaints are as follows: First, some anchors or platforms have exaggerated or false propaganda problems. If the goods are falsely described, the function and utility of the products are exaggerated; Promised concessions, gifts, etc. Second, some e-commerce operators delay or refuse to perform the contract. Such as arbitrarily cutting orders and refusing to deliver goods, and selling goods that are not on the right board. Third, some e-commerce operators do not undertake after-sales service obligations. If you don’t implement the "seven-day return without reason" rule and don’t fulfill the "three guarantees" obligation, etc.

According to the Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests and the Measures for the Administration of Online Transactions, if consumers buy goods or receive services through online trading platforms, and their legitimate rights and interests are damaged, they can complain to the platform merchants and also to the third-party trading platforms, so consumers should first negotiate with the merchants or third-party platforms through themselves, and handling consumer disputes is also the legal obligation of the merchants and third-party platforms; If negotiation fails, consumers can complain to the market supervision department where the platform merchant is located, or the market supervision department where the third-party trading platform is located, call the local 12315 or make a complaint through the "National 12315 Internet Platform", and the market supervision department will accept it as soon as possible and deliver it to the jurisdiction for mediation of consumer rights protection. At the same time, violations of laws and regulations found in the process of online transactions can also be reported to the market supervision department, which will be investigated and verified by the jurisdiction and dealt with according to law.

Consumers are also reminded to choose formal and qualified e-commerce platforms and sellers with high credibility when shopping online; Before placing an order, you should read the product details, promotion rules, return and refund methods and after-sales service policies, etc. Don’t trust the advertisements of merchants or the sensational agitation of anchors with goods, and avoid impulsive consumption and passionate consumption. At the same time, when purchasing, you must choose a formal trading platform, inquire about the business qualifications of the business operators, understand the true attributes of the purchased goods, try to keep relevant transaction records, publicity records, service commitments, etc., and keep sales vouchers to avoid the inability to prove when problems arise. After a dispute arises, try to settle it through consultation. If it fails, you can complain to our market supervision department or consumer association, and our market supervision department will do its best to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

Hong Kong Economic Herald: 3.15 is coming soon. Can you remind consumers of the problems that should be paid most attention to in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests according to the daily complaints received by consumers?

Chen Xiaoyan

According to the analysis of daily complaints, especially the cases of difficulties in safeguarding rights, we notice that if consumers can improve their awareness of safeguarding rights and self-protection, pay more attention to pre-consumption claims and conscientiously perform inspection responsibilities, then even if they encounter consumer disputes, whether they negotiate with operators to safeguard their rights or seek help from consumer associations or relevant departments, consumers who are "weak" can provide more powerful assistance for the settlement of consumer disputes, which is convenient for relevant departments to help consumers solve consumer disputes.

For example, we recently received a complaint: when a consumer bought food in a supermarket, the name of the food printed on the consumption certificate provided was inconsistent with the food he bought, and the price was also inconsistent. Such proof affected the consumer’s right to claim compensation after being infringed. In the consumption survey we carried out a few years ago, we also found that the name of the goods on some supermarkets’ printed receipts was inconsistent with the goods actually purchased. In this case, if consumers did not check carefully on the spot, they would not be able to provide effective proof in time when they suffered personal and property losses.

At present, consumers should pay attention to the consumer complaints when we buy goods or receive services in our daily life: for commodity consumption, we should take the initiative to obtain and keep the consumption credentials when we consume, and at the same time, we should pay attention to checking the machine-made receipts and invoices provided by operators on the spot to ensure that the names of the bills are consistent with the names of the purchased goods, the specifications and models are consistent, and the sales prices are consistent with the personal payment prices. For service consumption, such as beauty salons, body building, home improvement, education and training, accommodation and tourism, etc., in addition to paying attention to actively obtaining and retaining consumption credentials, we should sign a service agreement with the operator at the same time, and indicate or sign a supplementary agreement in the format contract for the personalized commitment service of the operator. Prevention in advance is a strong support for safeguarding rights after encountering problems!

This year, the City Consumers Association will also strengthen consumer publicity and education, carry out in-depth consumer publicity and education into community activities, send laws and regulations, rights protection methods and consumer warning tips to consumers, and make continuous efforts to improve the consumption environment in our city!

Elephant News: A few days ago, some media reported clues about the problem of bottled water. What measures did our regulatory authorities take? Can you introduce the specific situation of the investigation?

Zhou Fang

Municipal Market Supervision Bureau has always attached great importance to food safety supervision, including bottled water, and organized special rectification, supervision and sampling inspection of bottled water production for many years. The production conditions, food safety control ability and quality and safety level of bottled water production enterprises in the city have been continuously improved. On the morning of February 6th, the online media of Dongfang Jinbao published an article on "Insider Investigation of Bottled Water Fraud", which reflected that the illegal production and operation of bottled water in the market had not been completely eradicated. After learning the relevant public opinion information, the leaders of the Municipal Bureau attached great importance to it and acted quickly that morning to organize and investigate the relevant clues reflected by public opinion. Even during the Spring Festival holiday, the investigation of relevant clues was not relaxed, and the promotion meeting was held several times in a row to arrange the deployment, and the front-line supervision was organized to ensure that the investigation and rectification were in place.

On February 6th, the online media of Dongfang Jinbao reported that the main clues were that water shops directly sold tap water and groundwater privately. Individual bottled water sales points have poor sanitation; Individual bottled water products have no identification information such as manufacturer and address; There are hidden quality problems in barreled water buckets and lids.

In response to the clues reflected by the media, our bureau immediately set up a special working class, which is personally responsible by the main leaders and composed of relevant personnel such as food supervision, news propaganda, law enforcement inspection and the public security team stationed in the bureau. According to the problems and clues reflected by the media, we went to Jinshui District, Economic Development Zone, Guancheng District, Airport District, xinzheng city, zhongmou county and other places to conduct investigations one by one with the regulatory authorities of the jurisdiction, and investigate and deal with illegal acts in time.

After investigation, Aoquan bottled water store in Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone illegally filled bottled water without any logo without obtaining the food production and operation license. The store is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law and engaging in food production and business activities without permission. The market supervision department of Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone has filed a case for investigation and punishment according to law, and made a penalty decision of confiscating 165,300 yuan. Currently, relevant administrative penalty procedures are being implemented.

The manufacturer of the "Yuzhiyang" bottled water involved in the report is Henan Yuzhiyang Beverage Co., Ltd., and its production address is Houwei Village, Xie Zhuang Town, Xiangyun Road Office, Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone, and it has not obtained the Food Production License. The company is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law and engaging in food production activities without permission. The market supervision department of Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone has filed a case according to law, and based on the illegal facts and illegal income, it has made a penalty decision of confiscating 250,200 yuan, and is currently fulfilling relevant administrative punishment procedures.

Sun Ping ‘an Department Store in Mengzhuang Town, xinzheng city did not fulfill the obligation of incoming inspection when purchasing, and operated bottled drinking water with labels that did not meet the requirements. The market supervision department of xinzheng city ordered the parties to correct the illegal behavior, and gave them an administrative penalty of warning, confiscation of illegal income of 507.5 yuan and fine of 10,000 yuan.

Shigengxin bottled water service station in Jinshui District, Lanpei bottled water service station and Lantian water station in No.135 Buchang Street, Guancheng Huizu District have not obtained food business licenses, and the local market departments have ordered them to apply for registration certificates of small food shops within a time limit.

Other problems reflected by the media, food safety violations have not been found in the field verification.

In order to further strengthen the supervision of barreled drinking water production and business operation units and effectively ensure the food safety of the people, on February 10th, our bureau issued the "Special Remediation Plan for Barreled Drinking Water Production and Business Operation in 2021", arranged and deployed the special rectification work of barreled drinking water production and business operation for 10 months, and adopted measures such as special inspection, comprehensive sampling inspection, intensified disposal, and informing industry organizations to strengthen self-discipline, so as to standardize the production of barreled drinking water, severely investigate and punish unlicensed production, sales and illegal filling without permission. Since the implementation of the rectification, the city has dispatched more than 1,000 law enforcement officers and 383 law enforcement vehicles, inspected 720 bottled water production and business units, sampled 241 batches of bottled water and source water samples, found 35 problems, ordered 35 rectifications, put 4 cases on file for investigation, and banned 10 production sites suspected of illegally producing bottled water in conjunction with local governments.

In the next step, we will also give full play to the role of complaint reporting and unblock all kinds of complaint reporting channels such as 12315. Give full play to the management advantages of township (street) party committees and governments, such as being close to the masses, gridding, long-distance system and long-distance system, solve the problems of "black dens" in food production and operation, strong concealment of illegal and criminal acts, and difficulty in daily supervision, establish a long-term mechanism of "whistling at the grass-roots level and responding by departments" to find and deal with problems, and effectively improve the food safety level of the whole city.

Today’s press conference is over, thank you!

Patent analysis method | patent citation analysis

Original Ugliness & Visualization of Teacher Cat’s Patent Analysis

Citation between patent documents is the information that reflects their technical relevance, including the documents cited by the applicant in the background technology of his patent application, the comparison documents used by the examiner in the examination process, and the evidence documents submitted by the third party when requesting patent invalidation.

Patent citation can be divided into Cited and quoting, also known as Backward citation and Forward citation. The corresponding patent citations are called cited documents and cited documents. Among them, the cited document refers to the reference document cited by the target patent/family, and the cited document refers to the later document cited by the target patent/family. The relationship among the target patent/family, cited documents and cited documents is shown in the table below.

By combing the citation relationship, the undertaking order of technological innovation research and development among patent documents can be established, which can help analysts reproduce the development process of patent technology. It can also be used as auxiliary information to judge the importance of a patent document by counting the cited situation of a patent document, such as the number of cited documents, the technical field of cited documents, the applicant of cited documents, etc. On this basis, we can also combine the information related to patent literature sources such as country, applicant or inventor, so as to judge the historical contribution, technical strength and competitive position of the technology source.

Case 1: the applicant who cited the most important patent US6191007 in the field of 1:FDSOI technology.

The applicant who cited the patent US6191007 the most times.

Chart Source: Zhang Maoyu. Industrial Patent Analysis Report (Volume 50) Advanced Chip Manufacturing Technology [M]. Beijing: Intellectual Property Press, 2017.

The most frequently cited patent application in the field of FDSOI technology is the patent application with publication number of US6191007 filed by Denso in 1998, which was cited 316 times, and all of them were not self-cited. The main technical direction of this patent application is technology, which is to fabricate SOI or super-wave SOI substrates by ion implantation.

The applicant who cited the patent US6191007 the most was Monolithic 3D Inc, and it can be known that the company may have made key research and development in the field of substrate technology of FDSOI following Denso’s technology. At the same time, other applicants who cited this important patent are Micron, Innovative Silicon and IBM, and these applicants are also key applicants or potentially important applicants in the field of FDSOI.

Case 2: The most influential patent applicant of microalgae related technology

The most influential patent applicant for microalgae-related technology

Chart source: WIPO patent landscape report: micro alga-related technologies

The above figure lists the most influential patent applicants for microalgae-related technologies, and provides two indicators to measure the applicant’s influence, one is the number of patent families owned by the applicant, and the other is the Citation Velocity of the applicant’s patents. The patent citation rate in this report refers to the average number of times each patent is cited by other people’s later applications every year, which excludes the applicant’s self-citation. This citation includes Patent examiners’s citation in the review process as a comparison document, and also includes other patent applicants’ use as prior art documents in the background technology of their patent application documents. The higher the number of citations, the greater the influence of the applicant in this field.

Case 3: Patent citation network of patent applicants in the field of quantum metrology and sensing

Patent citation network of patent applicants in the field of quantum metrology and sensing

Chart source: EPO landscape study on patent filing: quantum metrology and sensing

Through citation analysis, we can also see that there is a very close relationship between enterprise applicants and research institution applicants in the field of quantum metrology and sensing in technology research and development. For example, most of Lockheed Martin’s 55 patents cite the patent documents of university applicants, and 17 of them cite the patents of Melbourne University.

On the Writing Skills of Patent Application Documents in China National Intellectual Property Administration Public Welfare Lecture

  In practice, a large number of inventions are protected by submitting patent applications and obtaining authorization. Therefore, the writing quality of patent application documents often affects whether the patentee can successfully defend his rights and resist competitors. In this paper, the author discusses the writing skills of patent application documents from the perspective of writing patent application documents.

  First, we should consider the appropriate scope of protection. The so-called "appropriate" scope of protection refers to obtaining as large a scope of protection as possible on the premise of complying with China’s patent law and its implementation rules.

  The author thinks that a patent application document can "predict" the comparison documents that may be retrieved, which is based on the full retrieval of domestic and foreign patent documents in the early stage of writing the patent application document, so as to determine the appropriate level of existing technology, construct an appropriate scope of protection, and make the patent more stable.

  In practice, the author found that many existing patent application documents only describe the technical scheme itself. The author believes that the process of writing patent application documents is a process of secondary creation, which requires the joint participation of inventors and patent agents to discuss various implementation methods to solve the technical problems involved in invention-creation, and determine the claims after summarizing and abstracting the technical characteristics of the implementation methods (upper generalization or functional limitation). And the upper generalization also needs as many examples as possible so that the claims can be supported by the specification. When judging the infringement, the functional features are interpreted as the specific embodiment disclosed in the specification and its equivalent embodiment, and the application of the equivalence rule is easy to have objections. Therefore, it is helpful to obtain a more appropriate scope of protection by excavating as many embodiments as possible in the writing stage of patent application documents.

  Second, when writing patent application documents, we should also consider it from the perspective of being conducive to infringement judgment. For example, based on principle of universal coverage, when writing the patent application file at first, only the most necessary technical feature set that can solve the technical problems of the invention needs to be written into the independent claim, and unnecessary technical features will only limit the narrowing of the protection scope. In practice, the name of the invention, the characteristics of the use environment, the technical characteristics of the product defined by the preparation method, and the step sequence of the method claim may limit the scope of patent protection, so it should be carefully considered when using it. If there are possibly ambiguous terms in the claim and they are not explained in the specification, it may cause obstacles to the interpretation of the subsequent claims.

  Third, the commercial prospects of patented products or methods should be considered. In the writing stage of patent application documents, patent agents may find that technical solutions can be applied to fields with more commercial prospects during the communication with inventors. For example, a technical scheme can be used in PC, but after understanding the existing technology, it is found that its application prospect in mobile terminal is very considerable, but it needs to be adjusted accordingly when applied in mobile terminal, so different technical schemes are produced, and the application strategy needs to be adjusted in time.

  Fourth, we should consider whether patents can be easily evaded by competitors. The patent agent can work with the applicant to develop possible improved technical solutions and possible deteriorated technical solutions. The improved technical solutions can be used as a "retreat" in the patent examination stage and may prevent competitors from submitting improved solutions to patent applications. According to the Guide to Determining Patent Infringement issued by Beijing Higher People’s Court, the deteriorated technical scheme does not constitute equivalent infringement, so the deteriorated technical scheme should also be considered when writing patent application documents.

  Fifth, it should be considered that it is conducive to obtaining evidence and safeguarding rights. If the applicant is engaged in the production of products, from the perspective of tort compensation, it may be more beneficial for the right holder to write patent application documents mainly against product manufacturers. This is because it is generally easier for sellers, importers and users of infringing products to prove the legal source of infringing products. In this case, it is advantageous to write the product and the claim of the preparation method of the product.

  In the fields of communication, network and computer, the applicant may face multiple infringing objects, and which infringing objects he hopes to resist is an important factor in determining his claim. Different claims can be designed for different infringing objects.

  Generally speaking, it is more beneficial to obtain evidence if you can know the technical characteristics of the product without disassembling it or using it by consumers. If you need reverse engineering to determine whether a product is infringing, you need to consider the difficulty of reverse engineering. For example, for related patents in the chemical field, the technical features that can be measured by ordinary measuring instruments or technologies are more conducive to obtaining evidence. For patents related to semiconductor and chip fields, if reverse engineering is easy to realize, components and their connection modes can be described. If reverse engineering is difficult to realize or the cost is high, it is necessary to consider whether it is necessary to change the writing method.

  Sixth, we should consider the layout strategy. When writing patent application documents, we should also pay attention to the role of dependent claims, that is, in addition to independent claims, other novel and creative technical features can be arranged in dependent claims to prevent competitors from evading design.

  At the same time, different levels of protection scope should be considered, and some patent application documents may be incompatible with certain technical features. At this time, independent claims with different protection scope can be considered to avoid giving up some protection scope due to modification. In addition, in some cases, the protection scope of the method claim can be different from that of the product claim, for example, the protection scope of the method claim can be greater than that of the product claim to achieve different levels of protection.

  Chinese applicants need to consider the relevant laws and regulations of different countries when writing patent application documents if they want to arrange patents abroad. When submitting an international patent application through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), due to the relatively limited space for modification, it is especially necessary to strictly check the priority documents.

  For example, when filing an American patent application, we should avoid too much self-admission and discussion about the existing technology. Because the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has a strict review of Antecedent Basis, patent Enablement and Written Description, it should be extra cautious when writing priority documents.

In order to thoroughly implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, effectively respond to the recent epidemic situation in Covid-19, and ensure and safeguard people’s health, this work plan is formulated in combination with the epidemic situation, vaccine research and development, immune effect evaluation, population immunity level and other factors.

First, the target population

At this stage, the focus of vaccination is to fill the gap in immune level for different target groups and further reduce the risk of severe illness and death. The target population is as follows:

(a) people who are not infected and have not completed the established immunization program. Including uninfected people aged 3-17 who have not completed basic immunization, uninfected people aged over 18 who have not completed the first dose of booster immunization, and uninfected people aged over 18 who have not completed the second dose of booster immunization (high-risk people with infection, elderly people over 60 years old, people with serious basic diseases and people with low immunity).

(two) people who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization.

Second, the time interval and vaccine selection

(1) Time interval.

The uninfected target population completes the follow-up vaccination according to the established immunization program and its time interval requirements. Among them, for people over 18 who have completed basic immunization, the interval of the first dose of booster immunization is adjusted to more than 3 months.

People who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization can be vaccinated with one dose after 3 months of infection.

(2) vaccine selection.

Shenzhou cell recombinant Covid-19 tetravalent S trimer protein vaccine and Unacon Covid-19 mRNA vaccine have been included in emergency use, which can be used for intensive immunization of people over 18 years old.

The vaccines used for basic immunization of uninfected target population shall be implemented with reference to the relevant requirements in the previous period. In order to strengthen immunization, it is recommended to use Shenzhou cell recombinant Covid-19 tetravalent S trimer protein vaccine and Unacon Covid-19 mRNA vaccine. Other recombinant protein vaccines or virus vector vaccines that have been approved for conditional marketing or emergency use can also be selected for sequential enhanced immunization.

People over the age of 18 who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization are recommended to use Shenzhou cell recombinant Covid-19 tetravalent S trimer protein vaccine and Unacon Covid-19 mRNA vaccine, or choose other recombinant protein vaccines or virus vector vaccines that have been approved for conditional marketing or emergency use. For people aged 3-17 who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization, the vaccines used for vaccination shall be implemented according to the relevant requirements of the previous period.

Follow-up will be based on the progress of vaccine research and development, approval, combined with the epidemic situation, virus variation and other conditions, timely research and adjustment of vaccination strategies.

Third, ensure vaccination safety

All localities should continue to give priority to vaccination safety, and organize vaccination implementation in strict accordance with the requirements of the Code for Vaccination Work. Local health departments should implement the "four haves" requirement that vaccination units should have emergency personnel stationed in general hospitals at or above the second level, emergency equipment and medicines, 120 ambulances on duty, and green channels for treatment in general hospitals at or above the second level to ensure vaccination safety. Inoculation units should do a good job in vaccination information registration and vaccine flow management, and update the vaccination records in the immunization planning information system and vaccination vouchers in a timely and accurate manner.

Fourth, strengthen organization and implementation

(1) Strengthening the responsibility of territorial subjects. All localities should implement the responsibility of territorial management, attach great importance to and co-ordinate the vaccination work in Covid-19. It is necessary to strengthen the guidance of vaccination work within the jurisdiction and fully grasp the progress of the work. Relevant local departments should strengthen docking and do a good job of coordination.

(two) to play the role of the competent department of industry. The competent departments of relevant industries should guide the units where the personnel in this industry work to actively cooperate with local unified arrangements and jointly do a good job in organizing and mobilizing.

(3) Strengthen supervision and guidance. It is necessary to closely track and monitor the progress of vaccination in various places, and find and study and solve related problems in time. Improve the traceability system of vaccine flow, improve the safety supervision mechanism of vaccine chain, continuously strengthen the whole process management and safety precautions, and effectively ensure the efficient and smooth transportation of vaccines.

(4) Do a good job in publicity and guidance. All localities and relevant departments should, according to the needs of work, formulate targeted publicity measures for vaccination work, focus on the purpose and significance of vaccination, respond to social concerns, sum up and popularize typical experiences and practices, actively guide the target population to take the initiative to vaccinate, and especially guide and improve the vaccination rate of the elderly population.

Note: People aged 3-17 can only use Covid-19 inactivated vaccine of Sinopharm Zhongsheng Beijing Company, Beijing Kexing Company, Sinopharm Zhongsheng Wuhan Company and Zhifeilong Kema recombinant Covid-19 vaccine (CHO cells).

  Cctv newsAt 15: 00 on April 20th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the development of industry and informatization in the first quarter of 2023 and answer questions from reporters.

  Zhao Zhiguo, chief engineer and spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that overall, the development of industry and information technology achieved a smooth start in the first quarter, showing a trend of stabilization and improvement.

  First, the industrial economy has maintained a stable operation. It mainly presents three characteristics. First, industrial production has steadily picked up. In the first quarter, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 3% year-on-year, which was 0.3 percentage points higher than that in the fourth quarter of last year, reversing the continuous downward trend since October last year. According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the production and sales of automobiles in March increased by 15.3% and 9.7% respectively, and the production and sales of new energy vehicles increased by 44.8% and 34.8% respectively. Second, investment in manufacturing industry continued to grow steadily. In the first quarter, manufacturing investment increased by 7% year-on-year, which was 1.9 percentage points higher than the national fixed assets investment, and maintained a rapid growth rate on the basis of a high base for two consecutive years. Third, the role of industrial provinces is obvious. The industrial growth rate of Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and other major industrial provinces is significantly higher than the national level. Since March, the industrial economy of Guangdong, Zhejiang and other provinces has picked up.

  Second, the advanced manufacturing industry is developing well. Vigorously develop advanced manufacturing industry and promote the high-end, intelligent and green development of manufacturing industry. Solidly promote the industrial base reconstruction project and major technical equipment research projects, and make significant progress in some areas. ARJ21 has safely transported more than 6.55 million passengers and has recently been put into overseas commercial operation. Delivered the world’s largest 24188 TEU super-large container ship, and the first domestic extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine (ECMO) was successfully developed and certified for listing. Deeply implement intelligent manufacturing engineering and promote the digital transformation of the industry. The three functional systems of industrial internet network, platform and security were completed, and the scale of core industries exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan. Accelerate the transformation and development of green and low-carbon industries. Accelerate the development of new energy vehicles, photovoltaics and other emerging industries. In the first quarter, the investment in fixed assets of high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 15.2% year-on-year, and the output of new energy vehicles, solar cells and other emerging products increased by 22.5% and 53.2% respectively.

  Third, the empowerment effect of the information and communication industry is constantly emerging. We will fully consolidate new infrastructure and strongly support high-quality economic and social development. In the first quarter, telecom business revenue increased by 7.7% year-on-year. Steadily promote the construction of "double Gigabit" network, with the cumulative number of 5G base stations exceeding 2.64 million, and the number of Gigabit access users exceeding 100 million. Continue to deepen the application of convergence, and 5G is fully integrated into 52 national economic categories. Improve the ability of application services, further enhance the supply of mobile Internet application services, and accelerate the demonstration and promotion of excellent cases of aging and barrier-free transformation of Internet applications. Coordinate development and security, introduce policies to promote the development of data security industry, strengthen the security protection of key information infrastructure in the industry, and ensure the safe and stable operation of basic telecommunications networks.

  Fourth, the industrial development environment has been further optimized. Adhere to the better combination of effective market and promising government, and strive to create a good ecology conducive to industrial development. In-depth implementation of the "14 th Five-Year Plan" in the field of industry and information technology, and organization and formulation of work plans for steady growth of key industries such as automobiles and electronics. Focusing on the "urgent difficulties and worries" of small and medium-sized enterprises, together with relevant departments, we have issued a series of policy measures to help stabilize growth and adjust structural strength, and started the cultivation of the fifth batch of "little giants" that specialize in specialty and innovation. Convene the 2023 Working Meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference on Reducing the Burden of Enterprises in the State Council. Deepen the precise docking of industry and finance, and the national industry-finance integration platform has helped enterprises to raise more than 500 billion yuan.

  Of course, we must also see that there are still some difficulties and challenges in the current industrial economic development, but the fundamentals of China’s industrial economic development have not changed for a long time, and we are full of confidence in this. In the next step, we will adhere to the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, thoroughly implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, strengthen our confidence, be determined to innovate, stabilize the development of key industries, support leading enterprises and specialized new enterprises, work hard to draw long boards, forge new boards and fill short boards, promote the sustained stabilization and improvement of the industrial economy in the second quarter, and accelerate the development of the information and communication industry, thus laying a solid foundation for achieving the objectives and tasks for the whole year.

Members of the North Korean leader’s family set foot in South Korea for the first time. Kim Jong-un’s sister’s resume is extraordinary

  CCTV News:South Korean Presidential Palace Cheongwadae announced on the 8th that Moon Jae in will meet with a visiting high-level delegation from the DPRK on the 10th. Members of the delegation include Jin Yongnan, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK, Jin Yuzheng, First Deputy Minister of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, Cui Hui, Chairman of the State Sports Steering Committee, and Li Shanquan, Chairman of the Peaceful Reunification Committee of the Motherland. According to Xinhua News Agency, the DPRK delegation arrived at Incheon Airport in South Korea by special plane at noon on the 9th.

  Who’s Jin Yuzheng? What is the future trend of the situation on the peninsula? Will the representatives of North Korea, South Korea and the United States interact outside of sports events? The PyeongChang Winter Olympics in 2018 was full of topics before it started.

  Rare! Kim Jong-un once only took his twin sister to inspect the troops.

  Jin Yuzheng is the daughter of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and the younger sister of Kim Jong Un.

  On March 9, 2014, Jin Yuzheng made her first "official appearance" in a report on North Korean national television. At that time, Kim Jong-un was elected as the representative of Baitoushan Constituency No.111 with 100% support rate. Jin Yuzheng, known as "Comrade", appeared for the first time in the report, and a "close-up" of her voting was shown.

  On November 27th, 2014, Kim Jong-un inspected the 426 Animation Studio. Korean Central News Agency mentioned Jin Yuzheng, Vice Minister of the Central Committee of the Labor Party, when introducing the accompanying personnel. This was the first time that the North Korean media publicized Jin Yuzheng’s position, which attracted the attention of foreign media.

  After that, Jin Yuzheng can always be seen in Kim Jong-un’s activities reported by North Korea’s official media. From watching performances, to inspecting factories and museums, to inspecting military training activities, Jin Yuzheng’s name can always be found in the list of accompanying persons.

  From March 9, 2014 to March 12, 2015, Jin Yuzheng accompanied Kim Jong-un on 25 inspections. Since November, 2014, Jin Yuzheng has been accompanying Kim Jong-un to inspect more and more frequently, accounting for more than half of the total times. Generally speaking, Jin Yuzheng’s people’s livelihood and cultural performances are twice as many as her military and political visits. However, since November 2014, her visits to the army have been basically the same as other activities. In January 2015, Jin Yuzheng’s public activities were particularly active, and he accompanied Kim Jong-un on seven inspections.

  On March 12, 2015, Kim Jong-un, the top leader of North Korea, visited a defense squadron in the front post on the east coast of North Korea. In Korean Central News Agency’s report, only the name of Kim Jong-un’s sister Jin Yuzheng was mentioned, but the names of other accompanying persons were not mentioned. Judging from the pictures released by the Workers’ Party of Korea, Jin Yuzheng not only accompanied Kim Jong-un to inspect the whole process, but also participated in the final photo. This kind of situation is rare. Usually, the entourage of Kim Jong-un does not take part in the group photo during the inspection activities, and it is the first time that only Kim Jong-un’s brother and sister inspect the troops in the official media of North Korea.

  At present, it is a critical moment for the DPRK and the ROK to release goodwill and improve bilateral relations. Kim Jong-un sent Jin Yuzheng to represent North Korea in the opening ceremony of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, and the position of the younger sister in North Korea’s political arena is self-evident.

  The South Korean side also attaches great importance to the first entry of North Korean Kim family members into Korea. A spokesman for South Korea’s Cheongwadae said that all preparations would be made to ensure the smooth visit of the DPRK high-level delegation to South Korea to participate in the Olympic Games, and called Jin Yuzheng’s visit "of great significance". As Jin Yuzheng is an important figure in the Labor Party, the ROK expects that she will have considerable discretion in this trip, which is more important than Jin Yongnan’s coming to hankyung alone, and the ROK and the DPRK may take this opportunity to have a more meaningful dialogue.

  The close interaction between the DPRK and the ROK, the United States and Japan secretly "make bad"

  The 23rd Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2018 is destined to be an "unusual" Winter Olympics. Before that, the Vice President of the United States invited "special guests" to pour cold water on the relations between the DPRK and the ROK, and then members of the North Korean "Baitoushan family" (Kim family) entered Korea for the first time. During this period, it was reported that Trump’s daughter would attend the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics and the South Korean Unification Ministry made intensive statements four times in three days … … The "feature film" of the 2018 Winter Olympics has not yet started, and the "trailer" alone is as wonderful as any Hollywood movie.

  At the beginning of the new year in 2018, the DPRK and the ROK changed the normal state of "arrogance" and "angry words", shelved the dispute between nuclear weapons and Sadr, and launched active "ice-breaking" talks around the Winter Olympics in a "double pause" posture, which achieved many results. For example, the DPRK and the ROK will jointly hold the flag of the Korean Peninsula at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, the Korean art troupe will perform the opening ceremony in South Korea, and the DPRK and the ROK have expressed their positive will to improve the bilateral relations in the future … …

  At the same time of close interaction between the DPRK and the ROK, the United States began to "pour cold water" on the slowly warming DPRK-ROK relations.

  US President Donald Trump confirmed last month that he would send Vice President Burns as the head of the US delegation to attend the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. However, it is not known what attitude Burns will take to intervene in the situation on the Korean Peninsula. A White House official said that Burns believed that the DPRK wanted to use the Winter Olympics to "engage in propaganda activities" and he intended to "show up" at the Winter Olympics to "offset" the DPRK’s influence and self-promotion efforts.

  According to Washington post, Burns will invite a "special guest", namely Fred, the father of the late American college student Otto Warmbier, to visit Korea. Otto Warmbier was charged and convicted of conspiring to subvert the state in North Korea, and was detained for more than a year. He was released to China in June last year, but he was in a coma and died a few days later. This incident once prompted the State Council to issue a travel ban to the DPRK.

  It is also reported that US President Trump’s daughter ivanka will lead a presidential delegation to attend the closing ceremony of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Some South Korean media analysts said that if ivanka really attended the closing ceremony of PyeongChang Winter Olympics as reported by CNN, and Kim Jong-un’s younger sister Jin Yuzheng also went south for a pre-meeting, it might be possible for them to meet in the closing ceremony of Winter Olympics.

  The DPRK, the United States and South Korea are playing hot, and Japan is also joining in the fun. According to the news released by the Japanese government on the 3rd, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will meet with Burns before attending the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, suggesting that the US-South Korea joint military exercise should not be scaled down after the Winter Olympics.

  … …

  The Korean Peninsula crisis has lasted for more than 20 years, and the biggest obstacle is the "return to Asia-Pacific strategy" of the United States. However, this "door-to-door talk" between the DPRK and the ROK is a sincere attempt by the DPRK. It is hoped that with the efforts of all parties, the stability of the DPRK and the ROK will be further developed, and the rare "warm drama" between the DPRK and the ROK will not become a "farce" with no end in some countries.

Look quickly! Henan CDC issued an important reminder →

  In August, the temperature rises, the rainfall increases, and the humid and hot weather is conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and vectors, causing the spread of many infectious diseases.

  Experts from Henan CDC hereby remind residents to focus on hand-foot-mouth disease, fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, brucellosis, novel coronavirus infection, monkeypox and food poisoning this month. In addition, special attention should be paid to the prevention of extreme weather events and accidental injuries of children and adolescents during summer vacation.

  Key tips

  First, hand, foot and mouth disease

  Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in children, which is caused by various enterovirus infections. Children under 5 years old are more likely to be infected through close contact, respiratory droplets and digestive tract. Recently, the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease in our province has decreased, but it is still at a high level, exceeding the level of the same period in the past two years. We should pay attention to the health status of young children, maintain good personal hygiene habits, and regularly clean and disinfect the family and the surrounding environment.

  Protective measures:

  1. Pay attention to personal hygiene, especially hand hygiene. Wash your hands with clean water, hand sanitizer or soap before touching your mouth and nose, before eating and defecating, before processing food, after touching herpes/respiratory secretions, after changing diapers or handling items contaminated by feces; Cover your nose and mouth with a handkerchief or paper towel when sneezing or coughing, then wrap the paper towel and throw it into the covered trash can.

  2. Do not share towels or other personal items with others; Do not contact patients and their contaminated articles, and pollute the environment; Do not swim or play in the unsterilized swimming pool. During the epidemic of hand, foot and mouth disease, try to avoid taking children to participate in group activities.

  3. Always clean and disinfect the surfaces of articles or objects that are often in contact, such as toys and furniture. After cleaning, wipe them with chlorine-containing disinfectant or soak them for disinfection. After 30 minutes, wipe them with clean water or rinse them off.

  Second, fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome

  Fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome is a new infectious disease caused by a new Bunia virus, which is spread by tick bites. The rain increases in August, and the high temperature and humid environment is suitable for the growth and reproduction of ticks. When you are active in parks, fields and other places with dense vegetation, you should be well protected to prevent ticks from biting.

  Protective measures:

  1. Personal protection should be done during outdoor activities, such as wearing long-sleeved underwear, tightening trouser legs, and applying repellent to bare skin, so as to avoid sitting and lying for a long time in the main habitats of ticks, such as grass and Woods, and prevent ticks from biting. Don’t pull hard after being bitten by a tick, spray it with alcohol and then clamp the tick head with pointed tweezers to peel off slowly.

  2. Management of infected persons. In general, it is not necessary to isolate patients. Medical staff and patients’ families in medical institutions should do personal protection when caring for patients, and the patients’ blood, secretions, excreta and the environment and articles polluted by them can be disinfected by means of high temperature, high pressure and chlorine-containing disinfectant.

  Third, brucellosis

  Brucellosis (brucellosis) is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella. The main clinical manifestations are fever, hyperhidrosis, joint pain and so on. Sheep are the main source of infection. People in pastoral areas, aquaculture and other occupations can be infected through skin and mucous membrane contact during slaughter, peeling and milking. Eating undercooked meat, drinking raw milk or inhaling contaminated droplets can also lead to brucellosis. In recent years, brucellosis has also occurred from time to time in non-pastoral areas, so we should pay attention to self-protection.

  Protective measures:

  1, sheep breeding, grazing, trading, slaughtering and other professional people should pay attention to daily personal protection, timely medical treatment after illness.

  2. Try to avoid direct contact with any animals, especially those of unknown origin.

  3. Do not eat undercooked meat, eggs, milk and other animal products. Choose fresh and safe animal food raw materials, and pay attention to the separation of raw and cooked food when processing.

  Fourth, monkeypox

  Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus infection, and its clinical manifestations are mainly fever, rash and lymphadenopathy. In the past, it mainly occurred in Central Africa and West Africa. Since 2022, monkeypox outbreaks have occurred in many non-endemic areas around the world, with a mortality rate of about 0.1%. Most cases have mild clinical manifestations, and the deaths are mainly people with low immunity such as untreated HIV-infected people. Since June 2023, many provinces in China have reported many cases of monkeypox, most of which are young and middle-aged men, mainly transmitted through sexual contact. Men who have sex with men are the key groups infected with monkeypox. People are generally susceptible to monkeypox virus, and smallpox vaccine has a certain degree of cross-protection against monkeypox virus.

  Protective measures:

  1. Entry-exit personnel should pay attention to the epidemic information of monkeypox in destination countries and regions, and avoid contact with monkeypox-like symptoms, rodents, primates and other animals.

  2. Returnees who have a history of suspicious contact abroad should do a good job in self-health monitoring to avoid close contact with others. In case of monkeypox-like symptoms such as fever, rash and lymphadenopathy, they should take the initiative to see a doctor and truthfully report their epidemiological history.

  3. Key people need to raise awareness of prevention and reduce high-risk behaviors. If they have a history of suspicious contact, they should consciously monitor their health and take the initiative to see a doctor if symptoms appear.

  V. novel coronavirus infection

  Recently, the number of people infected in novel coronavirus in our province has shown a downward trend. The elderly, key people with basic diseases and low immunity still need to adhere to personal protection and actively vaccinate. Those who have not completed basic immunization and are not infected with Covid-19 should complete basic immunization first.

  Protective measures:

  1. Actively vaccinate. Elderly people aged 60 and above, people aged 18-59 with serious basic diseases, people with low immune function, people with high risk of infection, and people who have completed basic immunization or have been infected with Covid-19 should be actively vaccinated to further strengthen their autoimmune ability.

  2. Pay attention to personal protection. Residents should wear masks in their daily trips, minimize unnecessary gatherings and keep social distance. Maintain good personal and environmental hygiene, wash hands frequently, often ventilate, pay attention to rest, pay attention to nutrition and enhance physical fitness.

  3. Use drugs rationally and see a doctor as needed. After infection, residents should take corresponding treatment measures according to the severity of their own symptoms, implement self-care at home, reduce contact with their roommates, rationally use symptomatic drugs according to relevant guidelines, do a good job in health monitoring, and go to medical institutions in time if the condition worsens.

  Six, food poisoning

  In August, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, and food is perishable. Improper food processing or storage can easily lead to food poisoning. Recently, food poisoning incidents have occurred frequently in many parts of the country. People must pay attention to food hygiene when eating at home or out. When they have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, they should induce vomiting as soon as possible to reduce the absorption of toxins and send them to the hospital for treatment in time.

  Protective measures:

  1. Avoid eating in public places without health protection. Buy food in supermarkets or vegetable markets with health protection. Try not to buy bulk food.

  2. Fresh food should be fully heated before eating, and attention should be paid to the cleanliness of processed cold and raw foods. Avoid mixing raw and cooked food, mixing chopping boards and kitchen knives, and prevent cross-contamination of raw and cooked food. Try not to leave any food in each meal. Don’t store the leftover food in the refrigerator for too long. It must be heated thoroughly before eating.

  3. Develop good personal hygiene habits, wash your hands before and after meals and before processing food.

  VII. Extreme weather events

  With global warming, extreme weather events occur frequently. Typhoon No.5 "Du Surui" landed in Fujian on July 28, and the residual circulation went all the way north, resulting in large-scale heavy rainfall in Henan, Shandong, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Liaoning, with heavy rain in the local area. Recently, there have been heavy rains in many places in our province, and heavy rains have occurred in some counties and cities, accompanied by complex strong convective weather. At present, the impact of Typhoon Du Surui on Henan Province has ended, but it is still rainy in our province in the near future due to the strengthening of the westward extension of the subtropical high, the uplift of typhoon Kanu and the windward slope in mountainous areas.

  At present, it is in the critical period of "seven downs and eight highs" (from late July to early August). Due to the influence of typhoon and subtropical high, our province will usher in the humid and sultry weather of "rainfall+high temperature". The public should pay close attention to the warning signals of meteorological disasters, respond in time, and do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling.

  Eight, children and adolescents accidental injury

  Summer vacation is a period of high incidence of accidental injuries among children and adolescents. While celebrating the holiday, special attention should be paid to preventing accidental injuries such as drowning, traffic accidents, falls, poisoning, burns, electric shock, airway foreign bodies, and animal bites.

  Protective measures:

  1. Parents should carry out safety inspection on daily necessities at home, so as to eliminate those foreseeable and avoidable safety hazards, such as hot water bottles, hot water cups and kitchen utensils with hot soup, which should be placed out of children’s reach; Household electrical equipment and power supply should be kept away from children’s reach; Take good care of household chemicals, and it is best to store medicines in safe packages that prevent children from opening them.

  2. In terms of children’s diet and daily life, it should be fresh and non-toxic to prevent food pollution and deterioration. Teach children not to run or cry when eating, and correct the bad habits of children’s mouth contents.

  3. Never leave children alone by the open water source. No matter in the water at home, indoors, outdoors or other places, the distance between parents and children should be within reach and concentrate on nursing. Parents must educate their children not to swim in dangerous waters/water bodies or informal swimming pools to prevent drowning. If you encounter a drowning companion, don’t rescue yourself by force. You should shout for help and ask people around you to help you.

  4. Pay attention to cultivate children’s safety awareness, guide children to obey traffic rules, don’t chase and fight on the side of the road, and sit in the child safety seat and fasten the seat belt when traveling by car.
