According to the website of Jiangsu Communications Administration, the bureau recently conducted a comprehensive investigation of Jiangsu Province.Virtual currency "mining" behavior, monitoring found that the export flow of mining pools in Jiangsu Province to carry out virtual currency activities reached 136.77Mbps, and the total number of Internet IP addresses participating in "mining" was 4,502, which consumed computational power.The resource exceeds 10PH/s, and the energy consumption is 260,000 kwh/day.
Take Ethereum and Bitcoin, which have more virtual currency mining activities in the province, for example, Suzhou, Xuzhou and Nanjing have more mining activities. Judging from the attribution and nature of IP addresses, the proportion of those belonging to party and government organs, universities and enterprises who have been invaded and used virtual currency to "mine" is about 21%.

In the next step, Jiangsu Communications Administration will continue to analyze the situation of virtual currency "mining", and further unite with relevant departments to form a "multi-dimensional, multi-level" disposal system, dispose of relevant websites and mobile applications according to law, and cooperate with the traceability and crackdown of illegal virtual currency transactions.

How much electricity can virtual currency "mine" cost?

Virtual currency is encrypted digital currency, which consists of a series of passwords. "Mining" is decryption. Every other time point, the virtual currency system will generate a random code on the system node. Calculating this random code requires a lot of GPU operations, and decrypting this code and confirming the virtual currency transaction requires complex operations. Because its working principle is very similar to mining minerals, it is named "mining" and the prospector is also called a miner. Miners use computers to perform these operations and then get virtual currency rewards, which is the so-called mechanism of virtual currency mining.
Take Bitcoin as an example. The total amount of Bitcoin is limited. In the first four years, the total amount will generate 10,500,000BTC, and the output will be halved every four years. In the fourth to eighth years, it will generate 5,250,000 BTC, and in the eighth to twelfth years, it will only generate 2,625,000 BTC, and so on. In the end, the total amount of bitcoin generated is close to 21,000,000 BTC.
A bitcoin is divided into eight decimal places based on the data structure, that is, 0.00000001 BTC, and the smallest unit for miners to dig bitcoin is 0.00000001 BTC. Bitcoin is like a golden mountain with a total of 21 million gold coins. To get it, players need to use the computing power of computers to calculate a set of numbers according to the existing algorithms.
When the computer is turned on for 24 hours, only 0.0018 bitcoins can be dug up, which means it will take about 556 days to dig out a bitcoin. It is reported that at present, the computing power of Bitcoin has reached 3 million hash collisions per second, while the computing power of an ordinary computer is only 1000H/s even at the top. According to the calculation that 0.0018 bitcoins can be dug up in 24 hours, it takes users at least 556 days to dig up a bitcoin.
According to the mining machine’s power of 1350 watts, it uses about one degree of electricity per hour, and the daily electricity fee is about 16.8 yuan, but it takes 556 days to dig a bitcoin, which means it costs at least 9367 yuan to dig a bitcoin. And this is just an ideal state. "Mining" requires a huge computing system, which has to solve millions of complicated calculations every second to verify the transactions on the network. This requires a lot of electricity to maintain, cool and run the machine.
According to the statistics of Xinhua News Agency, some "mines" consume millions of kwh a day; A "mine" in a western province can "eat" 45 million kwh of electricity a month. The annual power consumption of a mine in southwest China is equivalent to the total power consumption of three cities in one year.

Research by the Alternative Finance Research Center of Cambridge University shows that by 2020, the annual power consumption of global bitcoin "mining" is about 149.37 TWh (1 TWh is 1 billion kWh), which has surpassed the power consumption of Malaysia, Ukraine and Sweden, and is close to Vietnam, which ranks 25th in power consumption. According to Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, by the end of 2020, about 65% of the global bitcoin mining activities took place in China.

It was listed in the list of eliminated industries two years ago.

As early as 2019, the National Development and Reform Commission tried to include virtual currency mining in the list of eliminated industries. On April 8, 2019, in the Guiding Catalogue of Industrial Structure Adjustment (2019 edition, draft for comment), virtual currency "mining" activities were listed as obsolete industries, belonging to the category of "backward production technology and equipment", and mining activities were also listed as industries that should be "immediately eliminated". According to this catalogue, the elimination categories are mainly backward processes, technologies, equipment and products that do not meet the relevant laws and regulations, do not have safe production conditions, seriously waste resources and pollute the environment, and need to be eliminated. However, on November 6, 2019, the Chinese government website published the Guidance Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2019 Edition). According to the contents of the document, the "virtual currency mining" that once ranked in the category of eliminated industries was deleted from the published guidance catalogue.
Although the National Development and Reform Commission removed the "virtual currency mining behavior" from the elimination list in 2019, it does not mean that the state affirms or encourages mining behavior.With the popularity of Bitcoin rising after 2020, the currency price is turbulent, and the crime of financial fund-raising fraud involving virtual currency emerges one after another in China, and the energy consumption further rises due to the difficulty of mining, which has seriously affected the power supply balance in some areas.
Recently, the state has made great efforts to rectify it. On September 24th, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security and other eleven departments issued the Notice on Regulating Virtual Currency Mining. The circular pointed out that the supervision of the whole industrial chain upstream and downstream of virtual currency "mining" activities should be strengthened, it is strictly forbidden to add new virtual currency "mining" projects, speed up the orderly withdrawal of existing projects, promote the optimization of industrial structure and help peak carbon dioxide emissions achieve the goal of carbon neutrality as scheduled. The notice emphasizes that "virtual currency mining activities" will be added to the "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalogue (2019 edition)" and "elimination category". Before it is added, the virtual currency "mining" project will be treated as an eliminated industry, and investment will be prohibited in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Decision of the State Council on Promulgating and Implementing the Interim Provisions on Promoting Industrial Structure Adjustment (Guo Fa [2005] No.40).
10On August 8, the National Development and Reform Commission also publicly solicited opinions on the Negative List of Market Access (2021 Edition), and re-listed virtual currency "mining" in the elimination catalogue.The Negative List of Market Access (2021 Edition) lists 6 prohibited access items and 111 permitted access items, totaling 117 items.Among them, in the revision of the relevant measures in the Guidance Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment on the last page, item 7 of the category "1. Backward production technology and equipment" (18) was eliminated, and the expression of the revised measures was added:Virtual currency "mining" activities.
In September 2020, the Supreme Leader of president announced two major environmental policies in China at the United Nations General Assembly.First, China, as the second largest economy in the world, plans to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions in 2030.Second, China will achieve the goal of carbon neutrality (that is, zero net carbon emissions) by 2060.Virtual currency "mining" activities not only consume power resources, but also increase carbon emissions, which has a low contribution to the national economy, and has a limited driving effect on industrial development and scientific and technological progress. In addition, the risks derived from the production and trading of virtual currency are becoming more and more prominent. If it is allowed to develop blindly and disorderly, it will have adverse effects on promoting high-quality economic and social development and energy conservation and emission reduction.

[Those things in China] US media: The United States announced the termination of the much-criticized "China Action Plan" and admitted that it encouraged Asian discrimination

  China Daily Online, February 24 (Xinhua) On the 23rd local time, the US Department of Justice issued a statement saying that it would terminate an initiative aimed at cracking down on China during Trump’s administration. Critics point out that the so-called "China Action Plan" is tantamount to racial profiling and creates a culture of fear in the field of scientific research, which should be abolished.

  The Associated Press reported on 23rd that the US Department of Justice announced on Wednesday that it had decided to terminate the so-called "China Initiative". Earlier, American academic circles constantly criticized that the project had frozen normal academic cooperation and encouraged anti-Asian racial prejudice.

  Matthew Olson, Assistant Secretary of Justice, said he must respond to the concerns he heard, including those from Asian-American groups. "We have heard the concerns of civil rights groups, who think that ‘ China Action Plan ’ It encourages intolerance and prejudice. With the increase of crimes and incidents against Asia, these concerns have increased. "

  Olson said that academic and scientific circles are paying more and more attention to the investigation of some cases of the Ministry of Justice. These lawsuits and the atmosphere of public opinion created may bring a chilling effect to scientists and scholars.

  "By classifying the case into the scope of the China Action Plan, we have encouraged a harmful view that (the Ministry of Justice) has adopted a lower standard in investigating and prosecuting criminal acts related to China, or that we have treated people with racial, ethnic or family relations with China in a different way to some extent."

  In November 2018, during the Trump administration, the US Department of Justice launched a so-called "China Action Plan" aimed at cracking down on so-called economic espionage and trade secret theft.

  According to CNN, the Asian American Association for Justice (AAJC) issued a statement on the same day, saying that the end of the China Action Plan is an important step to end the periodic and historical racial discrimination against Asian Americans and immigrants.

  The New York Times reported that critics said that including such cases in the crackdown plan that seriously endangered national security would prompt investigators to unfairly target Asian professors, making people mistakenly think that everyone who hides relations with China is a spy.

  Previously, many cases against Chinese scholars ended in innocence or dismissal. In a high-profile failure case, prosecutors dropped the charges against Chen Gang, a professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, after the Department of Energy said that his failure to disclose his relationship with China would not affect his funding application.

  In response to the statement made by the US Department of Justice to terminate the "China Action Plan", Chinese Congressman Zhao Meixin issued a statement saying that the plan ruined the career of Asian Americans, prevented Asian Americans from pursuing academic majors such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and reinforced "harmful stereotypes".

  National Public Radio reported that Asian human rights organizations appreciated the decision to end the project, but said more work was needed.

  "The statement made by the Ministry of Justice today is an important step forward, but there is still much work to be done to ensure that all cases prosecuted are based entirely on evidence, not opinions," said Huang Zhengyu, president of the Chinese NGO Committee of 100.

What is the normal blood pressure range of human body? What diseases can hypertension cause? Expert answer

  Today is World Hypertension Day. Hypertension is one of the most common chronic diseases, and it is the most important risk factor for the onset and death of heart disease, stroke and kidney disease. What is hypertension? What is the normal blood pressure range of human body?

  The medical staff suggested that under the condition of not using antihypertensive drugs,Systolic blood pressure (high pressure) ≥ 140 mmHg (mmhg) or diastolic pressure (low pressure) ≥ Hypertension can be diagnosed when it is 90 mmHg..Family continuous standard blood pressure measurement 5-mdash; 7 days, average blood pressure ≥ 135/85 mmHg can be diagnosed as hypertension.It is recommended to see a doctor.

  Zhang Huimin, Chief Physician of Hypertension Center, Fuwai Hospital, China Academy of Medical Sciences:First of all, we will check the patient and do a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure. At the same time, we will do some corresponding tests, such as an electrocardiogram, a biochemical examination of blood, a urine routine and a blood routine. We will analyze whether he has heart, brain and kidney damage and whether there are some factors of secondary hypertension according to such circumstances.

  At what level should the blood pressure of patients of different ages be controlled? According to medical staff, under normal circumstances,For patients younger than 65 years old, the blood pressure should be controlled below 130/80 mmHg, and for patients older than 65 years old, the average blood pressure should be controlled below 140/90 mmHg..

  Zhang Weili, a researcher at the State Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Diseases, Fuwai Hospital, China Academy of Medical Sciences:After a large number of epidemiological investigations, we found that many elderly people with long life have well controlled their blood pressure, and many of them are below 120/80. Therefore, the control of blood pressure must solve a misunderstanding. I can’t talk about the elderly. My systolic blood pressure is 150 or 160 mm Hg, and I don’t feel uncomfortable. In fact, under the guidance of a doctor, my blood pressure should be reduced to below 140/90 mm Hg.

  Expert tip: Not actively intervening can lead to many diseases.

  Medical staff suggest that hypertension is one of the most important chronic diseases that endanger human health. If it is not actively intervened, it can lead to functional or organic damage of various tissues and organs.

  Hypertension is a chronic disease, which will eventually lead to health problems after years of development.The risk factors of hypertension include: diet with high sodium and low potassium, obesity and overweight, mental stress, drug action, smoking and drinking, high-fat diet and so on.

  Ding Chunhua, Director of Cardiology Department of Space Center Hospital:Some of the most common symptoms of hypertension are that some patients feel dizzy and bloated, but some patients have no symptoms. He only found that his blood pressure is high during a health check-up, or when his blood pressure is occasionally measured, which should be paid special attention to.

  Medical staff reminded: Adults aged 18 and above regularly monitor their blood pressure and measure their blood pressure at least once a year.

  People with high risk of hypertension, such as overweight or obesity, high-salt diet, smoking, long-term drinking, long-term mental stress and insufficient physical activity, should regularly measure their blood pressure. Medical institutions should continuously monitor the blood pressure of residents over the age of 35 who have been diagnosed for the first time.

  According to medical staff, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular deaths account for more than 40% of the total deaths in China, among which hypertension is the first risk factor.The hazards of hypertension include coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction, hypertensive heart disease, hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebral embolism, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and renal failure.

  Ding Chunhua, Director of Cardiology Department of Space Center Hospital:The heart, including this blood vessel, is equivalent to a power system, that is, a water pump carries blood vessels, and blood circulates in it. If hypertension occurs, the damage to blood vessels will gradually accumulate, and stenosis will occur. After stenosis, it will affect the blood supply of organs, and thus there will be functional failure.

  Expert tip: The faster and lower the blood pressure is, the safer it is.

  Some patients think that the sooner the blood pressure is lowered, the lower the better. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding in treatment. Medical staff pointed out that because blood pressure drops too fast and too low, it will also cause damage to the human body and cause danger.

  According to medical staff, the stability of blood pressure in the human body can ensure a good blood circulation and the normal beating of the heart rate, so both high blood pressure and low blood pressure will have a certain impact on our body. Even cause danger. Therefore, the faster and lower the blood pressure is, the better and safer it is.

  Zhang Huimin, Chief Physician of Hypertension Center, Fuwai Hospital, China Academy of Medical Sciences:If the blood pressure drops too fast, it will make the patient dizzy, and some patients even fall. We often have patients who say that after taking a large amount of medicine, they fall and stumble because of his low blood pressure. So our blood pressure needs to drop slowly, so generally speaking, we can reach the standard around a month.

  In addition, it is also dangerous for some patients to take medicine intermittently and not take medicine because of low blood pressure.

  Ding Chunhua, Director of Cardiology Department of Space Center Hospital:This will lead to the sharp fluctuation of blood pressure, which is even more unstable. Therefore, we suggest that if hypertension occurs, you should adjust it to an appropriate dosage, and it is best to use this drug for a relatively stable blood pressure reduction, instead of saying that I will take a little when I am high, and then stop when I am low, which will easily lead to some consequences, such as stroke as we said, and some damage to other organs.

  Blood pressure is high in winter and normal in summer, and the dosage can be reduced conditionally.

  High blood pressure in winter and normal or low blood pressure in summer are problems that plague many patients. So why is this happening? Can low blood pressure reduce dosage in summer? According to medical staff, if blood pressure is low in summer, antihypertensive drugs can be reduced, but there are conditions.

  According to medical staff, blood pressure changes seasonally. High in winter and low in summer are related to climate change. Especially for patients with mild hypertension, in summer, their blood pressure will decrease, and they can keep normal without taking antihypertensive drugs, which can reduce the dosage. But there are conditions and some precautions.

  Zhang Weili, a researcher at the State Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Diseases, Fuwai Hospital, China Academy of Medical Sciences:If his blood pressure is below 120/80, it is controlled below 120/80 through lifestyle control, medication, etc., then it is still quite good after we closely monitor it for a few weeks at this time. Then, under the guidance of a doctor, we can reduce the amount or stop taking the medicine, but it does not mean that everything will be fine after stopping taking the medicine. We must also insist on measuring our blood pressure at home. Once it is high, we still have to go to the hospital.

Hangzhou Bank’s 2023 performance briefing will be focused! About credit supply, stable interest margin, technology and finance, asset quality, etc.

  On the afternoon of May 15th, () Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hangzhou Bank", stock code: 600926.SH) held a performance briefing for the year 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 through live broadcast on the whole network. Song Jianbin, chairman of Hangzhou Bank, Yu Liming, president, Changqing Li, independent director, Chen Lan, Pan Huafu, Zhang Jingke and Zhang Jianfu, vice presidents, attended the meeting.

  At this briefing, Yu Liming said that in 2023, in the face of fierce market competition, Hangzhou Bank took the "2255" strategy as the guide, adhered to customer-centered, striver-oriented, strengthened digital intelligence empowerment, and achieved good business performance, achieving a steady development trend of rising comprehensive strength, remarkable business transformation and strong and solid management foundation.

  In 2024, Hangzhou Bank will closely focus on the "2255" strategy, firmly adhere to the principle of quality and strict governance, adhere to the general tone of "striving for progress while maintaining stability", and strive to build a value-added chain and closed-loop management of customers, products, teams, risk control and operation supervision, so as to accelerate the creation of differentiated competitive advantages in market segments.

  Next, let’s take a look at the key points of this performance briefing of Hangzhou Bank.

  1. Optimize asset allocation and actively respond to the low interest rate environment.

  Song Jianbin, chairman of Hangzhou Bank, said that in the face of low interest rate environment, on the one hand, Hangzhou Bank should focus on developing direct financing, supply chain services and digital services to improve the comprehensive income level of political and credit business. On the other hand, efforts will be made to improve the business model of Hangzhou Bank from three aspects: one is to expand the customer base of market segments, especially technology and finance business; The second is to improve risk control ability and expand sinking customers; The third is to enrich service functions, especially to improve non-credit services. In the future, Hangzhou Bank will focus on light capital and transactional business.

  2. Regional advantages guarantee credit supply, and stable asset quality helps achieve the benefit goal.

  President Yu Liming of Hangzhou Bank analyzed the operating performance of Hangzhou Bank and looked forward to the revenue and profit trend in 2024. He put forward five strategies of "promoting investment, optimizing allocation, reducing costs, expanding income and controlling risks" to ensure that Hangzhou Bank can achieve the growth target of benefit indicators in the new year. President Yu Liming pointed out that despite the double pressures of narrowing net interest margin and rising credit risk, Hangzhou Bank will strive to maintain the growth of operating income, total profit and net profit with a solid foundation and good development prospects.

  In terms of credit supply, President Yu Liming said that Hangzhou Bank will take advantage of its outlets in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other economically better regions to increase credit supply and strive to achieve the annual target of deposit and loan growth exceeding 100 billion. He also mentioned that Hangzhou Bank will optimize its asset allocation, especially in the fields of science and technology finance, credit micro-credit and universal micro-credit, so as to achieve optimal returns under controllable risks.

  3. There is still downward pressure on interest margin, and the capital adequacy ratio has improved.

  Zhang Jianfu, chief financial officer of Hangzhou Bank, made a comprehensive interpretation of key financial indicators such as credit arrangement, interest spread trend and capital adequacy. Director Zhang Jianfu first introduced three strategies of Hangzhou Bank’s credit lending in 2024: optimizing the lending structure while maintaining the total growth, balancing the quantity, price and risk, and optimizing the pace and regional layout. He pointed out that Hangzhou Bank plans to invest more than 100 billion yuan in credit, focusing on increasing the investment in manufacturing, green finance, science and technology, private enterprises, agriculture-related customers, and at the same time emphasizing the study of sub-sectors of the real economy and the grasp of credit opportunities.

  When talking about the trend of interest margin, Director Zhang Jianfu analyzed the market situation of interest margin decline in 2023 and looked forward to the challenge of net interest margin in 2024. He mentioned that despite the pressure brought by the decline of LPR and changes in market supply and demand, Hangzhou Bank will mitigate the impact of the decline in interest margin by strengthening pricing management and asset allocation, and actively responding to market changes. Director Zhang Jianfu also mentioned that stopping manual interest payment will not only help standardize the market competition order, but also help reduce the interest rate of deposits, thus supporting the stability of net interest margin.

  Regarding capital, Director Zhang Jianfu said that the improvement of capital adequacy ratio and core tier 1 capital adequacy ratio of Hangzhou Bank in the first quarter of 2024 was not only due to the positive impact of the new capital regulations, but also due to the bank’s initiative to adjust its asset structure and improve its capital endogenous capacity. He emphasized that Hangzhou Bank will improve the efficiency of capital use by optimizing the structure of assets and liabilities, promoting the strategy of light capital and deepening capital management.

  4. The mortgage has picked up, and the "paid loan" retail consumer credit products will have new brands.

  Vice President Chen Lan of Hangzhou Bank exchanged strategies and risk control measures in retail business with investors and analysts. She emphasized that in the current market environment, Hangzhou Bank has achieved steady growth in retail business through differentiated competition strategies. Vice President Chen Lan said that Hangzhou Bank has implemented the strategy of deep channel cultivation and branch pilot in mortgage business, and optimized the regional distribution structure. In 2023, the total amount of mortgage loans increased significantly, and its market share was improved. In terms of consumer loans, Hangzhou Bank adopted a steady and meticulous strategy of sinking customers, strengthened post-loan management and risk prevention and control through () integration, and effectively guaranteed asset quality. Facing the challenge of retail business, Vice President Chen Lan mentioned that Hangzhou Bank will adhere to the principle of "no risk for development" and enhance its risk prevention and control capabilities through refined management and big data risk control mode. At the same time, Hangzhou Bank will launch exclusive consumer credit products for different customer groups, such as a new brand of "paid loans" for working-class and new citizens, in order to realize the coordinated development of retail credit growth and risk stability.

  5. Small and micro loans promote the sinking of customer base and create differentiated competitive advantages.

  In the field of small and micro loans, Vice President Chen Lan emphasized the effectiveness of Hangzhou Bank in risk prevention and control, and realized the deep integration of marketing chain, operation chain and risk chain through the support of digital cloud platform. She revealed that by the end of 2023, the non-performing rate of micro-credit remained at a low level, showing the competitive advantage of Hangzhou Bank in the field of micro-credit. In addition, Vice President Chen Lan also mentioned the experience of the Small and Micro Credit Department in the sinking of inclusive finance’s customer base, and emphasized the importance of business planning, industry segmentation and customer base selection. She said that through industry segmentation research and customer visits, Hangzhou Bank can serve the local market more deeply and realize the sustainable development of its business.

  6. Science and Technology Innovation Financial Business Model Iteration

  Zhang Jingke, Vice President of Hangzhou Bank, said that Hangzhou Bank has successfully cultivated more than 300 listed companies, including 95 science and technology innovation board companies, since it established the Science and Technology Sub-branch in 2009. Vice President Zhang Jingke mentioned that although the links of investment and loan linkage in the current financial supervision system have not been fully completed, Hangzhou Bank is still actively exploring the science and technology financial service model, from the initial cooperation with the government to the cooperation with investment institutions, and then to the current "data+professional drive" model, Hangzhou Bank’s science and technology financial business model has been continuously upgraded and iterated. He emphasized that the core logic of Hangzhou Bank’s profit lies in growing together with customers, and achieved a good profit space through low capital cost, low non-performing rate and replicability of business model. Vice President Zhang Jingke explained that Hangzhou Bank not only established deep customer loyalty through early intervention and service for small and micro science and technology enterprises, but also obtained support in low-cost fund settlement, which supported the bank’s profit through lower capital cost when credit pricing could not exceed the market average. In addition, Vice President Zhang Jingke also mentioned that the risk control of Hangzhou Bank in the field of science and technology finance is in place, and the non-performing rate has remained at a low level for 15 years, which has provided a solid support for the bank’s profitability. He also emphasized the importance of team and organization building, pointing out that Hangzhou Bank has a professional team of more than 500 people, which has accumulated 15 years of experience.Become the most powerful competitiveness of Hangzhou Bank in the field of science and technology finance. Finally, Vice President Zhang Jingke said that in the face of changes in the market environment, Hangzhou Bank will stick to long-term, grasp its own pace of development, focus on technological innovation customers, and continue to maintain its leading position in the field of science and technology finance through innovation of products and services and optimization of risk control.

  7. Asset quality is stable and controllable.

  Pan Huafu, vice president of Hangzhou Bank, gave a detailed answer to the risk management problem. He said that the proportion of interest-related loans increased by 0.12 percentage points in the first quarter, mainly because the extension of a real estate project loan led to the downward shift of classification. He stressed that despite the increase in interest-related loans, the overall business structure and the total number of customers remained stable, and the proportion of interest-related loans was still at a low level among listed banks.

  On the issue of the rising NPL ratio of real estate loans, Vice President Pan Huafu mentioned that the NPL ratio was mainly due to a project loan default of a real estate enterprise, but he said that the real estate loan risk of Hangzhou Bank was generally controllable, and put forward the concept of "three opposites" to illustrate the advantages of banks in real estate loans: relatively low proportion of real estate loans, relatively good area of real estate loan projects and relatively stable real estate customers as a whole. In other credit risk areas that investors are concerned about, Vice President Pan Huafu also responded one by one.

[Review] Soda soda fell by 3.23% in a day. The agency said that the supply of soda soda soda market is weak and the short-term shock operation is expected to be obvious.

Market performance

November 15th. closing price Rise and fall of the day Five-day rise and fall soda ash 1470.00 yuan/ton -3.23% -2.91%

Intraday news

  The upstream and downstream of soda ash are deadlocked, and the market changes little.

  As of November 14th, the average ex-factory price of domestic light caustic soda was 1510 yuan/ton, down 1.1% from last week and 31.6% year-on-year. The average price of the mainstream terminal of heavy alkali was 1,575 yuan/ton, which was the same as last week and decreased by 33.7% year-on-year. Recently, some soda plants have been reduced in concentration, and the overall start-up load of the industry has further decreased. Downstream users have replenished appropriately, and the inventory of soda enterprises has declined. The futures market fluctuates and the market is in a strong wait-and-see mood. Soda manufacturers mostly execute the previous orders. Some ammonia and soda producers run at a loss, while soda producers are interested in stabilizing prices. However, the downstream demand is general, and the consumption of soda ash in float glass and photovoltaic glass is reduced. Most downstream users just need to purchase mainly and replenish moderately. The upstream and downstream stalemate game, it is expected that the domestic soda ash market may not change greatly in the short term. (())

Variety fundamentals

  On November 14th, the inventory of soda enterprises recorded 1,648,100 tons, an increase of 0.43 million tons compared with the previous trading day.

Institutional point of view

  Zhengxin Futures: The supply of soda ash market is strong and weak, and the short-term shock operation is expected to be obvious.

  

  Strategy: At present, the supply of soda ash fundamentals continues to be strong and needs to be weak. Although there is the influence of device disturbance, the supply continues to be high, and the downstream demand is relatively stable. The inventory of upstream cash orders is transferred to the middle reaches instead of the downstream replenishment. Short-term device disturbance expectations are difficult to form a sustained drive and oscillating operation, and pay attention to the subsequent domestic macro-policy news.

The meteorological department has developed a number of forecast products, and the weather forecast of the competition has reached the level of 100 meters and minutes.

  China Meteorological Bureau held a press conference in February 2022 yesterday. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from the scene that the meteorological department has strengthened scientific and technological research, observation, forecasting and service capacity building, studied refined event forecasting and early warning technology, developed a number of forecasting products, and achieved a number of zero breakthroughs in meteorological science and technology, providing meteorological support for the success of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Among them, the meteorological department has realized the "100-meter-level and minute-level" operational weather forecasting capability for the first time, and established a forecasting service system.

  Meteorological service guarantee of winter Olympics

  Facing the test of climatic conditions

  According to Qu Xiaobo, chief meteorological officer of Winter Olympics and deputy director of Beijing Meteorological Bureau, as far as meteorological conditions are concerned, the Beijing Winter Olympics is the first winter Olympics held under the continental winter monsoon climate. The characteristics of continental winter monsoon climate such as cold, strong wind, dryness, less precipitation and great temperature change pose a severe test for the meteorological service guarantee of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Looking at the meteorological service guarantee of previous Winter Olympics, there is no mature and completely applicable portable technical scheme for Beijing Winter Olympics in the world. Therefore, the Beijing Winter Olympics meteorological service guarantee is a big challenge, and it is difficult to tackle key scientific and technological problems. Many technologies can be said to start from scratch.

  It is understood that compared with the Summer Olympic Games, the Winter Olympics is more dependent on meteorological conditions, mainly reflected in the fact that the outdoor environment is often more complicated, and it is more difficult to predict the meteorological factors that affect the event, and the event development requires high precision in forecasting time. Take the alpine skiing track as an example, the horizontal distance of the venue environment is short and the vertical drop is large. In reality, the meteorological environment may be very different for every 100 meters of altitude drop; Over a mountain ridge, there may be another scene.

  Therefore, for weather forecast, faced with many tests such as "changing from one day to four seasons" and "different days in ten miles" under complex terrain in mountainous areas, site forecast and conventional grid difference forecast are difficult to meet the requirements of event support. Different events have different requirements on the threshold of meteorological conditions, so it is necessary to monitor and forecast the wind, temperature, visibility, rain and snow phases and other factors. In particular, the wind field on the track of snow events is very abrupt. If the sun shines for a while or a cloud floats over, the wind will change. In the process of high-speed decline, athletes are easily affected by the sudden change of longitudinal wind and crosswind on the track.

  Haituo Mountain Area in Yanqing, Beijing

  The first meteorological observation system was built

  Qu Xiaobo introduced that with the Winter Olympics as the core, the meteorological department organized and implemented the winter multi-dimensional meteorological comprehensive observation experiment under complex terrain for the first time in China’s mid-latitude mountainous areas, and built 441 sets of modern three-dimensional detection facilities in Beijing urban area, Yanqing and Chongli and its surrounding areas, realizing the integrated, three-dimensional, second-level, multi-factor winter Olympics meteorological comprehensive monitoring of ultra-precision complex mountainous areas and megacities. Among them, the meteorological observation system in Haituo mountain area of Yanqing achieved a breakthrough from scratch.

  In order to improve the ability of winter Olympics meteorological forecast, the meteorological department has set up a core team of mountain meteorological forecast. According to the service requirements of "one game, one policy" and "one project, one policy", the meteorological departments of Beijing and Hebei Province are the main bodies, and 52 key personnel are drawn from national units such as the Central Meteorological Observatory and meteorological departments of Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Jilin and other provinces to form service athletes, coaches and event organizations in Beijing, Yanqing, Zhangjiakou and the dispatching center of the Operation Command of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee. At the same time, field forecasting training was conducted in the competition area for five consecutive years, and people were sent to observe the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in 2018, and the team’s business level was continuously improved.

  The weather forecast was first realized.

  "100-meter class and minute class"

  Small-scale mountain meteorological forecast is one of the core technologies of winter Olympics meteorological forecast. After several rounds of technical research, the meteorological department has realized the "100-meter-level and minute-level" business weather forecast capability for the first time, and built a numerical weather forecast model system with a resolution of 500 meters in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and 100 meters in the core area of the Winter Olympics Mountain Stadium, which is updated rapidly every 10 minutes. Based on this, a forecast service system has been established to provide seamless fine grid forecast products from short-term approach (0-1 hour) to extended period (30 days).

  Qu Xiaobo introduced that the 100-meter level is a spatial distance. After dividing the atmosphere into several grids, 100 meters is equivalent to a 100-meter grid, which means that no matter where you are in the future, you can find a suitable forecast point not far from the surrounding area. In the past, the resolution was one kilometer in Beijing and even the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and 500 meters in the urban area. This time, through the technical personnel’s research, the spatial resolution has been improved to 100 meters, which is a relatively big breakthrough. Minute level is equivalent to updating the latest forecast every 10 minutes. The daily forecast includes half a day, one day or one hour. Now according to the service demand, the meteorological department can provide a new forecast every 10 minutes.

  In addition, the meteorological department has also built an information network to support the meteorological services in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, providing winter Olympic meteorological data services with interconnection, data sharing and mutual backup, and realizing multi-point flexible on-site video consultation. Build the Winter Olympics meteorological service website to meet the meteorological service needs of the public for watching games and traveling. During the Winter Olympics, the meteorological department will provide high-quality meteorological services according to the different needs of "competition", "protection" and "watching".

  Meteorological scientific and technological achievements

  Continue to serve after the game

  Qu Xiaobo introduced that the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics is just around the corner. At present, all preparations have been fully prepared. The meteorological department will go all out to invest in the winter Olympics meteorological service guarantee, and strive to give meteorological connotation to the "simple but not simple" winter Olympics with precise monitoring, accurate forecasting and fine service, take meteorological responsibility for the "safe and blind area-free" winter Olympics, and make meteorological contributions to the "wonderful and uncompromising" winter Olympics.

  After the end of the Winter Olympics, these hard-won achievements in winter Olympics meteorological science and technology will continue to play a role in five aspects: First, the "eye" of winter Olympics meteorology — — Build a three-dimensional observation system for mountain meteorology; The second is the "teacher" of winter Olympics meteorology — — Training the technical team of mountain meteorological forecast; Third, the "Taiwan" of the Winter Olympics meteorology — — Establish a supporting platform for mountain meteorological services; Fourth, the "skills" of winter Olympics meteorology — — Study the mechanism of occurrence and development of mountain meteorology; Fifth, the "fruit" of winter Olympics meteorology — — Expand the application of mountain meteorological service achievements, and provide solid support for the development of ice and snow economy and more people to participate in ice and snow sports.

Let the Yellow River be a river of happiness for the benefit of the people.

  Liujiaxia Hydropower Station is located in the main stream of the Yellow River in Yongjing County, Gansu Province. The first unit began to generate electricity in 1969. It is the first large-scale hydropower station with a million kilowatts level independently surveyed, designed, manufactured, installed and debugged in China. This year, Liujiaxia Reservoir completed the flood season in early June, and the Yellow River basin entered the main flood season in July. The reservoir increased the discharge flow, lowered the water level and freed up more flood control storage capacity.

  Sanmenxia Water Control Project is the first large-scale water control project built on the main stream of the Yellow River after the founding of New China, connecting Henan and Shanxi provinces. It was basically completed and put into operation in April 1961. At present, Sanmenxia water control project, as an important link of flood control engineering system in the lower Yellow River, plays a very important role in the joint operation of water and sediment regulation together with Xiaolangdi and Wanjiazhai.

  Wanjiazhai Water Control Project is located in Tuoketuo-Longkou Gorge, the main stream of the North Yellow River. It is the first large-scale water control project planned for cascade development in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. It is also the leading project of Shanxi Province’s Yellow River Diversion Project and the standby water source of Beijing’s water diversion from the northern line. In November 1998, the first unit was connected to the grid to generate electricity. The designed annual average power generation is 2.75 billion kWh, and the designed annual water supply is 1.4 billion cubic meters, including 1.2 billion cubic meters for the Yellow River Diversion Project in Shanxi Province and 200 million cubic meters for Zhungeer Banner in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which is of great significance in serving the harnessing and development of the Yellow River, the economic and social development of the basin and the improvement of people’s living standards along the Yellow River.

  Xiaolangdi Water Control Project is located in the main stream of the Yellow River in Henan Province, with the south bank belonging to Mengjin District of Luoyang City and the north bank belonging to Jiyuan City. The first 300,000 kW generating unit of the hub was connected to the grid in January 2000. Since 2002, Xiaolangdi Reservoir has been carrying out water and sediment regulation every year, using "artificial flood peak" to send the sediment deposited in the downstream riverbed into the sea and reduce the sediment deposition in Xiaolangdi Reservoir. From June 19 to July 7 this year, Xiaolangdi Reservoir participated in water and sediment regulation before flood season, and started flood control operation on July 17 to lower the reservoir water level ahead of schedule.

  The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that we should jointly protect and promote great governance, so as to make the Yellow River a river of happiness for the benefit of the people.

  The water of the Yellow River flows into the sea. The Yellow River, with a total length of 5,464 kilometers and flowing through nine provinces and regions, plays a very important role in China’s economic and social development and ecological security. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has focused on the overall situation of ecological civilization construction, made clear the idea of "giving priority to water conservation, spatial balance, systematic management, and exerting efforts with both hands", and put forward the strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. Great changes have taken place in the economic and social development and people’s lives in the Yellow River Basin.

  Large-scale water conservancy projects play a key role in protecting and harnessing the Yellow River. Down the river, the water conservancy hub embraces mountains and waters, and the high gorge and Pinghu are like bright pearls. Storing and discharging rooms, turning rolling waves into surging green electricity, bringing gurgling clear water to irrigate fertile fields, and dressing up beautiful mountains and rivers with thousands of hectares of blue waves.

  Scientific cooperation, cascade operation and comprehensive benefits of large-scale water control projects will be brought into full play. Looking at flood control, the reservoirs represented by Xiaolangdi are jointly dispatched to stop floods and cut peaks, so as to protect the An Lan of the Yellow River from entering the sea. Looking at water supply, Qingtongxia, Wanjiazhai, Sanmenxia, etc. store abundant water to supply water resources for coastal agricultural irrigation areas, energy bases and important towns. The Yellow River basin supports the water demand of 12% of the population and 17% of the cultivated land with 2% of the river runoff in the country. Looking at power generation, the theoretical reserves of hydraulic resources in the Yellow River basin are 43.312 million kilowatts, ranking second among the seven major rivers in China. Laxiwa, Longyangxia and Liujiaxia in the upstream canyon store water and release energy, helping the western region to build a multi-energy complementary system of scenery and water. Looking at ecological protection, Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi continue to drain water and sediment, and continue to replenish water to the Yellow River estuary delta.

  Protecting and harnessing the Yellow River has a long way to go. Flood risk, ecological fragility and water shortage still plague the Yellow River. The Yellow River harnessing project, represented by Guxian, Heishanxia and Qikou large-scale water control projects, has been accelerated, providing more powerful support for enhancing the capabilities of flood and drought disaster prevention, water resources conservation and intensive utilization, optimal allocation of water resources, and water ecological protection and management.
