Shenzhen "Financing City" fund-raising fraud case was sentenced to nearly 5 billion in the first instance.

  Xinhua News Agency, Shenzhen, August 24th (Reporter Zhou Ke) The reporter learned from the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court that on the 23rd, the court publicly pronounced a verdict on 28 people, including Dong Ming, the controller of Shenzhen Financing City Network Service Center Co., Ltd., who were suspected of committing the crime of fund-raising fraud and illegally absorbing public deposits.

  The court sentenced the defendant Dong Ming to life imprisonment for the crime of fund-raising fraud, deprived him of political rights for life, and confiscated his personal property of RMB 100 million. For the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits, 27 defendants, including Wang Lianlin, Ge Shaoyong, Yang Xiaoshan and Ke Lixin, were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years to fixed-term imprisonment of 3 years, suspended for 3 years, and fined. The stolen money shall continue to be recovered by the public security organs, and the recovered part shall be returned to the fund-raising participants in proportion according to law; The funds seized and frozen in the case shall be returned to the fund-raising participants in proportion according to law; After the property, vehicles, shares and articles sealed up and detained in the case are changed in price, they will be returned to the fund-raising participants in proportion according to law, and the insufficient part will be ordered to continue to refund compensation and be returned separately according to the same principle according to law.

  The court found through trial that in March 2009, the defendant Dong Ming established Shenzhen Financing City Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. by means of cross-shareholding of his holding company, and later renamed it Shenzhen Financing City Network Service Center Co., Ltd., and established an Internet investment and financing platform. Dong Ming and others illegally raised funds by investing in wealth management, investing in shares, etc. without the approval of the competent authorities of the state, and illegally controlled the fund-raising by using methods such as self-financing, returning new packages to old ones, and intercepting financing funds, and illegally raised RMB 4.945 billion from 5,240 people.

  After trial, the court held that the defendant Dong Ming illegally raised funds for the purpose of illegal possession. After raising funds, it was obviously disproportionate to the scale of raising funds for production and business activities. The profitability of production and business activities did not have the possibility of paying all the principal and interest, and the principal and interest were mainly returned by borrowing new ones. As a result, the amount of funds raised could not be returned, and the circumstances were particularly serious, which constituted the crime of fund-raising fraud. The defendants Wang Lianlin, Ge Shaoyong, Yang Xiaoshan, Ke Lixin and other 27 people illegally absorbed public deposits, disrupting the financial order, and the amount was huge, all of which constituted the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits. According to the facts, nature, circumstances, amount and degree of harm to society of each defendant, the court made the above judgment.

  More than 400 relatives of the defendant, fund-raising participants and people from all walks of life attended the verdict.

Reform and Opening-up and the Great Leap of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s Cause (Deeply Studying and Implementing the Spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee)

  Core reading

  Reform and opening up is the most remarkable feature and magnificent weather in contemporary China. On the new journey, we should constantly deepen our understanding of the regularity of reform and opening up, constantly push forward the comprehensive deepening of reform to March in breadth and depth, constantly realize the people’s longing for a better life, ensure the realization of the goal of the second century as scheduled, and constantly create new and greater miracles that will impress the world.

  The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Resolution on the Great Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Centennial Struggle (hereinafter referred to as the Resolution) adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee pointed out: "Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, China’s reform and opening up has gone through a magnificent course and achieved remarkable achievements."

On the new journey, we will continue to push forward reform and opening up, and make unremitting efforts to realize the goal of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the theme of all the party’s theories and practices since the reform and opening up.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Reform and opening up is a great awakening of our party, and it is this great awakening that gave birth to our party’s great creation from theory to practice. Reform and opening up is a great revolution in the history of the development of Chinese people and the Chinese nation. It is this great revolution that has promoted the great leap of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause! " Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the theme of the whole theory and practice of the Party since the reform and opening up. On the basis of summing up the experience of the world socialist movement and China’s socialist construction, our party deeply realizes that socialist construction is a process of continuous development and change, and there is no fixed and unique model, so we must combine the universal truth of Marxism with China’s concrete reality. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, our party clearly put forward "taking our own road and building socialism with China characteristics", United and led the people of China, emancipated their minds and forged ahead, and initiated, persisted, defended and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the new period of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, our party founded Deng Xiaoping Theory, formed Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory System, and achieved a new leap in China Marxism. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has United and led the people of China, self-confident, self-reliant, upright and innovative, taking charge of great struggles, great projects, great undertakings and great dreams, and making overall plans to promote ".The overall layout of "five in one" and the coordinated promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layout have pushed Socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era. The Communist Party of China (CPC) people, represented by the Supreme Leader, founded the Supreme Leader’s New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, which achieved a new leap in the China of Marxism and made scientific socialism glow with more vitality.

  At every major historical juncture of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s development, it was through reform and opening up that it broke through the predicament and made continuous progress towards new success. Reform and opening up have broken the imprisonment of rigid and conservative ideas, and the ideological outlook and spiritual outlook of the whole party and the people throughout the country have taken on a new look; It broke the traditional planned economy system, and made rural areas and cities compete with each other for generate’s endless vitality and creativity. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the face of extensive and profound changes in the domestic and international environment and a series of new contradictions and challenges facing China’s development, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has held high the banner of reform and opening up in the new era, taking promoting social fairness and justice and enhancing people’s well-being as the starting point and foothold, highlighting the problem orientation, focusing on further emancipating the mind, liberating and developing social productive forces, liberating and enhancing social vitality, and strengthening top-level design and overall planning. Strengthen the systematicness, integrity and coordination of reform, stimulate people’s initiative, push forward the reform in important areas and key links, make Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system more mature and stereotyped, and continuously improve the modernization level of national governance system and governance capacity. Our Party unswervingly adheres to the guiding position of Marxism and the basic principles of scientific socialism, constantly promotes theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, cultural innovation and other aspects of innovation, constantly endows Socialism with Chinese characteristics with distinctive practical characteristics, theoretical characteristics, national characteristics and times characteristics, and demonstrates the strong vitality of scientific socialism with irrefutable facts.

  Reform and opening up have enabled the Chinese nation to stand in the east of the world with a brand-new attitude.

  After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, from rural areas to cities, from economic fields to other fields, the wave of reform is unstoppable; From the coast to the border along the Yangtze River, from the east to the central and western regions, the door to openness is gradually opened. By 2010, the world ranking of China’s total economic output has jumped from 11th in 1978 to 2nd, becoming the world’s largest manufacturing country and the world’s largest exporter of goods. At the same time, the internal and external environment of China’s development has undergone extensive and profound changes. The reform has entered a critical period and deep water area. The easy reform has been completed, and the rest are hard bones. The complexity, sensitivity and linkage of continuing to promote reform are unprecedented.

  In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has raised the flag, planned the layout of articles, comprehensively deepened the reform, made drastic efforts, overcome difficulties, and presented a situation of all-round efforts, multi-point breakthroughs, steady steps and in-depth advancement, which has solved many problems that have been tried for a long time but not solved, and has become many major events that were tried but not done in the past. A series of major reforms in the fields of economy, politics, culture, society, ecological civilization system and party building system have been solidly promoted, and various measures to facilitate the people, benefit the people and benefit the people have been continuously implemented, making reform and opening up the most remarkable feature and magnificent weather in contemporary China. The Resolution pointed out: "The Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party is epoch-making, which has opened a new era of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. The Third Plenary Session of the 18 th CPC Central Committee is also epoch-making. The transformation of reform from partial exploration and breaking through the ice to system integration and comprehensive deepening has created a new situation in China’s reform and opening up. " In 2020, under the background of the COVID-19 epidemic and the deep recession of the global economy, China became the only major economy in the world that achieved positive economic growth, and its GDP exceeded 100 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world, accounting for 17.4% of the world.

  The reform and opening up has greatly changed the face of China, the face of the Chinese nation, the face of the people of China and the face of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has ushered in a great leap from establishment, development to perfection, China people have ushered in a great leap from insufficient food and clothing to a well-off society, and the Chinese nation is standing in the east of the world with a brand-new attitude. After more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, comprehensive national strength and people’s living standards have jumped to a new level, explored a Chinese-style modernization road suitable for its national conditions, expanded the way for developing countries to modernize, and provided new choices for countries and nations in the world who want to accelerate their development and maintain their independence.

  Constantly push forward the comprehensive and deepening reform to March in breadth and depth.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Socialism with Chinese characteristics was born in the reform and opening up, and it will certainly grow and develop in the reform and opening up." The Resolution emphasizes "comprehensively deepening reform and opening up". On the new journey, we should constantly deepen our understanding of the regularity of reform and opening up, constantly push forward the comprehensive deepening of reform to March in breadth and depth, constantly realize the people’s longing for a better life, ensure the realization of the goal of the second century as scheduled, and constantly create new and greater miracles that will impress the world.

  Accurately grasp the direction, position and principles of reform and opening up. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Our reform and opening up has a direction, a position and principles." Over the past 40 years, reform and opening up have advanced in a complicated domestic and international environment. Because of the correct direction, scientific methods and proper control, reform and opening up have always been advancing along the right path. In the new journey, no matter what we change or what step we take, we must adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party, the overall goal of improving and developing the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and the people-centered value orientation.

  Adhere to the party’s leadership and respect the people’s initiative. The centralized and unified leadership of the party is the compass, the fixed disk star and the ballast stone to ensure the continuous progress of reform and opening up. The party’s ability and determination to set the direction, seek the overall situation, formulate policies and promote reform have ensured that the ship of reform and opening up has always sailed along the right course. Reform and opening up is the cause of hundreds of millions of people, and the people’s initiative provides a steady stream of wisdom and strength for reform and opening up. We should adhere to the combination of party leadership and respect for the people’s initiative, insist that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people, unite the wisdom and strength of the overwhelming majority of the people in the reform, and work with the people to push the reform forward.

  Adhere to the combination of crossing the river by feeling the stones and strengthening the top-level design. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Crossing the river by feeling the stones conforms to people’s understanding of objective laws and the dialectics of things from quantitative change to qualitative change." Touching the stone is to touch the law, which is a process of continuous accumulation of experiment, summary and promotion. In the new era, the relevance and interaction between the local and the overall situation of reform and opening up, the temporary solution and the root cause, and the gradual and breakthrough have been significantly enhanced, and the importance of top-level design and overall planning has been significantly enhanced. We should continue to stick to the combination of crossing the river by feeling the stones and strengthening the top-level design, promote the overall promotion and key breakthroughs, properly handle the relationship between top-level design and layered docking, do a good job in supporting the top, bottom, left and right, and all aspects, pay attention to the coordinated promotion of various reforms, make various reforms complement each other, have a "chemical reaction", and turn institutional advantages into governance efficiency.

  Adhere to the unity of problem orientation and goal orientation. Reform is forced by problems, and it is deepened by constantly solving problems. At the beginning of reform and opening-up, although we faced many difficulties and challenges, we were full of confidence in the future and planned a grand blueprint for building a socialist modern country in three steps. In the process of reform and opening up, we adhere to the unity of problem orientation and goal orientation, overcome the concept of opposing market and plan, and clarify the goal of establishing a socialist market economic system; Corrected the concept of conflict between economic development and environmental protection, and clarified Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s concept; Wait a minute. Practice has proved that adhering to the unity of problem orientation and goal orientation can effectively resolve the contradictions and problems encountered in progress and continuously achieve new achievements in reform and opening up.

  Coordinate development and security. Development and security are two wings of an organic whole and two wheels of driving. Security is the premise of development, and development is the guarantee of security. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has adhered to the overall concept of national security, adhered to the bottom line thinking, prepared for danger in times of peace, put national interests first, aimed at people’s safety, based on political security, based on economic security, guaranteed by military, scientific, technological, cultural and social security, supported by promoting international security, coordinated development and security, coordinated opening up and security, and coordinated traditional and non-traditional security. Facing the great struggle with many new historical characteristics, we must strengthen the spirit of struggle, improve our fighting skills, implement the leadership responsibility and work responsibility of preventing and defusing various risks, pay attention to preventing and defusing major risks that affect China’s modernization process, and provide a strong guarantee for the prosperity and long-term stability of the party and the country.

On-the-spot record of the advance detachment of the 18 th Army entering Tibet

Disclaimer: This article was originally published in the 8th issue of Party History Expo in 2016, and was published by communist party News Network of China authorized by Party History Expo magazine. Please do not reprint.

In October 1950, Qamdo was liberated. In February 1951, the local government of Xizang sent Ngapoi Ngawangjigme to Beijing for peace talks, and signed the Agreement between the Central People’s Government and the local government of Xizang on the Measures for the Peaceful Liberation of Xizang (the "Seventeen-Article Agreement") on May 23rd.

The Party Committee of the 18th Army, headed by the commander Zhang Guohua and the political commissar Tan Guansan, followed the instructions of the Southwest Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Southwest Military Region, and formed an advance detachment of more than 300 Tibetan and Han comrades, with Wang Qimei, deputy political commissar of the 18th Army, as commander and political commissar, Chen Jingbo as chief of staff, Gu Caoping as deputy chief of staff and Lin Liang as director of the political department. Ngapoi Ngawangjigme, chief representative of Xizang local government, and his wife Ngapoi Caidan Zhuoga are traveling with the advance detachment of Tibet. The tasks of the advance detachment in Tibet are: to take the lead and create conditions for the main force to enter Xizang; Publicize the party’s ethnic and religious policies in an exemplary manner, and publicize and implement the "17-Article Agreement" in an exemplary manner. The advance detachment of Tibet started from Qamdo on July 25, 1951 and arrived in Lhasa on September 9, which lasted more than 40 days and traveled more than 2,000 kilometers. The author also joined the advance detachment of Tibet with her husband Wang Qimei.

Before departure, all the officers and men of the advance detachment in Tibet carefully studied the "17-Article Agreement", the relevant instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Southwest Bureau and the political mobilization order for marching into Xizang jointly issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Southwest Bureau, Southwest Military Region and the Second Field Army Command. The mobilization order called for: "All commanders and combatants who marched into the army and all Communist party member should carry forward their infinite loyalty to the revolutionary cause, deeply understand the great political significance of marching into Xizang, make full preparations ideologically, organizationally and at work, carry forward the glorious tradition of the people’s army’s heroic and tenacious struggle, carry forward the spirit of class friendship of unity and mutual assistance, and resolutely complete the task of marching into Xizang."

From Qamdo to Lhasa, we have to cross the Hengduan Mountains, the Lancang River, the Nujiang River and other rivers. The roads we pass through are rugged, sparsely populated, ice and snow, and the air is thin. At that time, there was no detailed map of Xizang, and the road conditions were not clear, so the advance team in Tibet could only explore and move forward.

Here, only the fragments of the advance detachment entering Tibet passing through the "poor eight stops" are described:

From Changdu to Lhasa, Xizang local government has set up 24 post stations along the way. The masses call it "eight stops poor, eight stops rich, and eight stops neither poor nor rich". On August 13, 1951, the advance detachment of Tibet set out from Charansondo, arrived in Ojug, rested for two days, and then went on to enter the "poor eight stations". Because the conditions of the "poor eight stations" are extremely difficult, and there is a lack of food and grass, the command of the advance detachment into Tibet divides the troops into three echelons. About 55 kilometers from Arendo to Rendo, it is full of virgin forests and deep mountain canyons, and it has to go through a dangerous plank road. There are cliffs on one side, cliffs more than 20 feet deep on the other, and rushing rapids below. The road is only one or two feet wide. In many places, only a few pieces of wood are placed on the cliffs in mid-air, and each section is one or two feet long. Some plank roads are in disrepair, and the wood has rotted or loosened. There are also some slopes that are steep and steep, and the people in front of the troops are like walking on the heads of the people behind them. They walk and stand for a while and move very slowly.

On August 19th, the advance detachment of Tibet set out from Renduo and completely entered the area without firewood. At the foot of Nugongla Mountain, there is a place called Duodong. It is said that there used to be two or three families. For some reason, the houses were burned down and the residents moved into the deep mountains. Before the advance detachment arrived in Tibet, the local people heard that the People’s Liberation Army had implemented the "17-Article Agreement" and had to pass through here to March into Lhasa, and they all came back automatically. They and several families in nearby villages took the initiative to form a transport team, cut firewood from the mountains more than 70 miles away, and transported it to the roadside with yaks to support the PLA. When the advance detachment arrived in Tibet, it found firewood supported by the masses in the ruins, and everyone was deeply moved by the enthusiastic support of the Tibetan people.

On the 20th, the advance detachment of Tibet crossed Nugongla Mountain. This is a veritable rocky mountain, 5 kilometers up and 5 kilometers down, all of which are stone roads. Only the gurgling sound of running water in the mountains seems to be boiling, but there is no running water. People must be very careful when walking on the rugged rocky road. When the troops were approaching the top of the mountain, a soldier in his twenties suddenly fainted. He was short of breath, trembling all over, and his face was livid, while his gun, backpack and dry food bag were still on his back. When Comrade Wang Qimei learned about it, he immediately followed the cavalry to the scene of the accident, asked the guards to take down the soldier’s things as soon as possible, untied his neckline, helped him onto his horse, and sent him down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, there is still a long way to go from the campsite. Because there was no firewood in the campsite, everyone took a bundle of firewood supported by the masses when they passed the herdsmen’s tent in the Zhuka pasture, and then headed for the campsite. The climate on the plateau is really like a naughty child, moody. After a while, the scorching sun was on the head, and the sun made people dizzy; After a while, the rainstorm poured down, drenching people like a drowned rat. The troops were marching, and suddenly a strong wind came with dark clouds, and a hail hit everyone’s heads and bodies violently. People can’t walk, so they have to stand on the road, cover their heads with backpacks and firewood, and accept the relentless hail attack. About half an hour later, the hail passed and we continued to March. The troops camped in a meadow 2.5 kilometers west of Mozhuka. Comrades in each class perform their duties according to the specific division of labor before departure. Some set up tents, some cook in pots, and some release their horses in an orderly way. Leading comrades called the relevant personnel of the department, the government and the post-March to report the day’s March, sum up experience, and study and arrange the tasks for the next day. Unexpectedly, before the rice was cooked, the hail suddenly came again, and the wind roared, blowing the tent like a boat on a rough wave, swaying. If the iron piles were not firmly laid and the ropes were strong, the tent might be blown away. Hail rattled the grass, tents and iron pots, as if playing a large symphony. That night, the wind blew out the lights in the tent, and the hail put out the fire under the cooker. A pot of uncooked rice was soaked in hail and rain. A thick layer of hail on the ground filled up the drainage ditch dug around the tent. After a day of marching,极为疲劳和饥饿,但因为冰雹、狂风捣乱,结果连热饭也没吃成,仅吃了几口糌粑,就摸黑睡觉了。

进藏先遣支队经过艰难的行程,于1951年9月5日到达拉萨东郊的达孜。其时,张经武同志作为中央人民政府和毛主席的代表,绕道印度,已先于我们到达拉萨。张代表派乐于泓和李天柱同志前来看望进藏先遣支队。

9月9日,进藏先遣支队进入拉萨并举行了隆重的入城仪式。全体指战员身着草绿色呢子军服,排成长队,几名年轻的战士抬着毛主席、朱总司令的画像走在队伍前列,继而是军乐队和腰鼓队。拉萨主要街道上红旗飘扬,军乐齐鸣,进藏先遣支队的指战员们个个精神焕发,队列整齐,气势雄壮。西藏地方政府搭起彩色帐篷,并派西藏地方政府和谈代表成员凯墨·索南旺堆、柳霞·土登塔巴率文武官员、僧俗各界代表前来欢迎。僧俗藏胞身穿节日盛装,倾城而出,古城拉萨呈现出一片欢乐景象。进藏先遣支队领导人和噶厦的主要官员互献哈达。王其梅等先遣支队领导按照西藏的民族风俗,到各大寺庙发放布施,拜会达赖喇嘛和寺庙僧侣、政府官员等各界知名人士。西藏上层爱国人士也行回拜和宴请。

On October 26th, 1951, the commander of Zhang Guohua and the political commissar of Tan Guansan led the main force of the 18th Army to Lhasa, which opened a new chapter in Tibetan history.

Man’s "Complaint" 12315: Obviously, it is reported that the merchant sells fake goods. How can it be handled as a complaint?

Tiantian 315.png

"Your complaint meets the acceptance conditions. Please go to the Airport Branch of Jieyang Municipal Market Supervision Administration in Guangdong Province for on-site mediation on June 19th." Looking at this complaint mediation notice, Tan Ming (pseudonym) is very puzzled. He expressed his incomprehension to the reporter of the upstream news hotline 966966/ upstream news APP: "Obviously I am a’ report’, how can I become a’ complaint’?"

Reporting fakes but receiving a complaint mediation.

On May 26th this year, Tan Ming bought a hair dryer on an e-commerce platform. After receiving the goods, Tan Ming suspected that he had bought a fake because of the poor packaging and the lack of relevant brand information. "Later, I applied for an invoice, but I was directly rejected." Tan Ming feels that he may not only encounter the behavior of selling fake and shoddy products, "this enterprise is more likely to evade taxes."

Report 2.png.

△ Tan Ming’s billing application was rejected.

On the morning of June 8, Tan Ming, who thought more and more wrong, decided to report the enterprise to the 12315 national Internet platform. "I remember very clearly that after logging in to the website, I chose the’ reporting’ channel, because what I wanted was not compensation, but after reporting the behavior similar to’ selling fake goods’, I asked the relevant departments to investigate and deal with it according to the investigation facts."

Report 3.png.

△ Tan Ming’s report content on the platform.

But what Tan Ming didn’t expect was that on the afternoon of the report, the seller got through his phone and added WeChat, requesting to cancel the relevant complaint. "After that, I received the complaint acceptance letter and mediation notice from the market supervision bureau there."

Report 4.jpg.

△ screenshot of the conversation that the merchant actively contacted.

Tan Ming said, "According to the relevant regulations on market supervision and management of complaints and reports, my identity information should be protected, but the accepting unit informed the’ reported person’ of my’ report’ as a’ complaint’. Can the two be switched?"

"Reporting" or "Complaining" needs to be reviewed and decided.

The reporter immediately logged on to the 12315 national internet platform and found that "complaints" and "reports" were displayed on the home page in two channels. Articles 5 and 6 of the "Notice for Reporting" pop up by clicking on the "Reporting" channel clearly indicate that due to the different handling procedures of reporting and complaints, the reporting cannot contain complaints, and the platform will keep the informer’s information strictly confidential.

Report 1.png.

Report 5.png.

How to make sure that your report does not contain complaints? The staff of the 12315 Consumer Complaint Reporting Hotline explained that reports and complaints do belong to two acceptance channels, and the biggest key point to distinguish them is whether consumers have "demands". "If there are, they will be accepted by the complaint channel, and if not, they will be accepted by the report channel."

So why is Tan Ming’s "reporting" content treated as a "complaint"? "Because there are often complainants who can’t distinguish these two concepts, we will actually judge the specific content of complaints and reports when we review them." The relevant staff of the Airport Branch of Jieyang Municipal Market Supervision Administration of Guangdong Province told the upstream journalist, "If the complainant has other needs, such as not wanting to be mediated or insisting on reporting, he can contact us at any time to communicate."

Lawyer’s statement > >

Differences and requirements between complaints and reports

Are complaints and reports the same thing? Liu Xian, a lawyer of Beijing Deheheng (Chongqing) Law Firm, believes that to answer Tan Ming’s doubts, it is necessary to follow the Interim Measures for Handling Complaints and Reports of Market Supervision and Management, which came into effect on January 1, 2020. This method is an effective law and regulation on the handling of consumer complaints and reports by market supervision and management departments.

According to the provisions of Article 3 of the Measures, complaints and reports are clearly defined by law: reporting refers to the behavior that natural persons, legal persons or other organizations report to the market supervision and management department that operators are suspected of violating the laws, regulations and rules of market supervision and management; Complaint refers to the behavior of consumers who purchase or use goods or accept services for their daily consumption, have a dispute with business operators about consumers’ rights and interests, and request the market supervision and management department to resolve the dispute.

"Therefore, if there is a consumer rights dispute with the merchant due to the purchase of goods, it is a complaint; If it simply reflects illegal business operations, it is a report. " Liu Xie said that from the content reflected by Tan Ming alone, it is more likely to be characterized as a "complaint" because there is controversy about the goods he personally purchased.

Liu Wei introduced that if consumers want to complain, they should provide relevant information such as name, telephone number, mailing address, name and address of the respondent, and explain that the complaint request is the fact of consumer rights dispute; If you want to report, you should provide clues suspected of violating the law and be responsible for the authenticity. The market supervision department shall keep confidential the relevant information and handling of the informant and shall not disclose it to irrelevant personnel.

Let the city become a high-quality living space (the governor said)

  Adhere to the connotative, intensive and green high-quality development path, so that the achievements of urban construction can be shared by the people, and the people’s sense of well-being, happiness and security can be enriched, guaranteed and sustainable.

  Cities are people’s cities, and people’s cities are people. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We should better promote people-centered urbanization, make cities healthier, safer and more livable, and become a space for people to live in high quality." To thoroughly implement this important requirement, cities need to focus on enhancing innovation capability, upgrading industrial strength, shaping city brands, supplying public goods, optimizing development environment, etc., and make every effort to enhance governance capacity and development momentum, promote balanced development and create a happier and better life for the people. In recent years, Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province has built a multi-center, networked, group-like and ecological new-type mega-city planning layout around Hangzhou City, striving to create a good environment that is suitable for business, living, music and travel, and constantly enhancing people’s sense of gain.

  Focus on doing innovative articles. Science and technology can empower development, and innovation will win the future. Only innovation can strengthen itself, and only innovation can compete first. Yuhang clarified the work orientation of "innovation wins" and strived to shape new advantages of innovation-driven development. Adhere to the development and growth of strategic emerging industries, focus on building a chain of scientific and technological enterprises, accelerate the construction of a scientific and technological innovation system, "link" the scientific and technological talent resources in the Yangtze River Delta, the whole country and even the whole world, guide leading enterprises in the industry to jointly build industrial innovation consortia with key laboratories, research institutes in universities and upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry, improve the mechanism of scientific and technological services and achievements transformation, and promote the deep integration of innovation chain and the industrial chain; We will focus on the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, implement the campaign of "changing cages for birds" in the manufacturing industry, and accelerate the conversion of old and new kinetic energy.

  Continue the historical context of the city. Culture is the soul of a city. Urban historical and cultural remains are the accumulation of predecessors’ wisdom and an important symbol of urban connotation, quality and characteristics. Yuhang insists on development in protection and protection in development. On the one hand, strengthen the protection of red sites and revolutionary cultural relics, carry forward revolutionary culture and inherit red genes; On the other hand, we attach great importance to the protection of history and culture, launch cultural brands such as Canal, Jingshan, Tiaoxi and Song Yun, and strive to enhance the popularity and influence of Liangzhu ancient city site. At the same time, vigorously develop the cultural industry, promote the integration of cultural tourism, and do a good job of connecting the Liangzhu Cultural and Art Corridor with the Dajingshan Ecological Zone, so as to better transform cultural tourism resources into development resources and make the people’s spiritual and cultural life more colorful.

  Strengthen ecological environment management. The construction of ecological civilization can obviously enhance the people’s sense of gain, and the people have the deepest experience. Yuhang anchored the construction goal of Hangzhou’s "beautiful window", polished the ecological background, continued to implement the "three areas and three lines", adhered to the integration of multiple regulations, coordinated the management of grass and sand systems in landscape forests, fields and lakes, promoted carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions in an orderly manner, implemented the environmental compensation mechanism in Dajingshan Ecological Zone, and broadened the transformation channel from green mountains to Jinshan Yinshan. We will further promote water control, gas control, soil control, waste control and plastic control, and increase infrastructure construction such as flood control and drainage, sewage and domestic garbage disposal. Yuhang also creatively carried out the research on the synergistic enterprise index of pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and launched the "Yuhang Carbon Eye" to create low-carbon application scenarios such as global energy custody.

  Insist on doing a good job in people’s livelihood. The more subtle it is, the more it highlights the temperature of serving the people, and the more it needs to come up with practical measures. Yuhang continues to promote the construction of rail transit, urban expressways, urban trunk roads and other traffic network, build the hub of high-speed railway west station, create a new gateway for Hangzhou traffic, and provide more convenient travel services for the masses. Accelerate the short board of people’s livelihood, explore the overall solution of "one old and one small" in combination with the construction of "15-minute public service circle", promote the construction of home care service centers, implement the reform of "expanding the middle" and "lowering the middle", and steadily improve the level of social security. In addition, Yuhang has also carried out special actions, such as removing dangers and security for 100 days, to create a safe and stable social environment and enhance people’s sense of security.

  Doing things is important, actions speak louder than words, and striving for success. Standing at a new historical starting point, Yuhang will be based on reality, adhere to the connotative, intensive and green high-quality development path, make the achievements of urban construction shared by the people, and make the people’s sense of well-being, happiness and security more substantial, more secure and more sustainable.

Jiangsu Dafeng tornado has caused 2 deaths and 15 injuries! Revealing which areas of China tornadoes love to "punch in", Guangdong actually ranks second in the country.

At about 16: 00 on August 13th, tornadoes occurred in Wanying, Xiaohai and Nanyang towns in Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, which were preliminarily identified as EF2 medium-intensity tornadoes by experts. According to a report on the evening of 13th in Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, 2 people were killed and 15 injured in the disaster.

Tornado is called the king of style. There are many rumors about its powerful power, such as uprooting trees, blowing cars into the sky, and turning into dragons to absorb water … Are these rumors true or false? How strong is the EF2 tornado? Why are tornadoes frequent in Jiangsu? China Weather Network launched the tornado chapter of "Weather Archives", and let’s listen to its confession.

Hello, everyone, I am a tornado. My name is world-famous, but not many people have actually seen me. Because of this, there are many legends about me circulating in the Jianghu. There are people who drive around the world to track my figure in order to see my style. Next, I will introduce myself: first of all, please remember, don’t be infatuated with me, I am just a gust of wind, a wind that can kill people.

I was born in unstable weather conditions, which is a strong and small-scale air vortex caused by air convection. When cold and warm air masses collide with each other, a cumulonimbus cloud will be formed. There are high-altitude airflow and low-altitude airflow inside the huge cumulonimbus cloud. When the ascending airflow is constantly entangled with the descending airflow, a strong horizontal vortex will occur. In the process of vortex rotation, it continues to be involved in more airflow, and it keeps growing like a snowball. I was formed when the vortex developed large enough and fell to the ground.

As a member of the strong convection family, my body is petite, with a diameter of several meters to several hundred meters, especially as large as 1 kilometer. My playing time is usually short, usually lasting a few minutes to dozens of minutes. Although I am small, I am extremely destructive. My central wind power can reach 30-150 m/s, and in extreme cases it can reach 300 m/s, which is several times faster than the maximum wind speed in the center of a strong typhoon. The huge wind speed allowed me to pull up trees, destroy houses and roll up cars, and the place I passed was like an explosion scene.

Of course, I don’t always burst like this. My family is divided into different sections. According to the current international EF grade (Fujita series), my strength is divided into six grades from low to high: EF0 to EF5. EF0 and EF1 are the most common. Although they are only bronze sections, they are enough to break the glass and blow the chimney. The EF1 level can overturn the roof, causing casualties.

When my strength reaches EF2 level and above, it belongs to a strong tornado, and EF2 level may cause trees to be uprooted; EF3 class even trains can be blown down; EF4 level can shovel and level houses; EF5 is the king’s position, and the damage is devastating. The house with frame structure may be thrown out together with the foundation, the reinforced concrete structure building will be seriously damaged, and the car may be blown away.

These are definitely not alarmist, and my black history makes people tremble.

For example, the Tri-State Tornado, which happened on March 18th, 1925, is considered as one of the most violent tornadoes in American history. The tornado started from Missouri and went through Illinois and Indiana, moving 350 kilometers in a straight line, causing nearly 700 deaths and 2,000 injuries. Wherever it went, it was a mess. Although the tornado was not officially rated by the United States, it was recognized as EF5 by most experts.

The EF4 tornado that occurred in Shanghai, China on September 24th, 1956 became one of the most famous tornadoes in China, and even appeared in geography and physics examinations. In the afternoon, a violent tornado hit the eastern edge of Shanghai. The strong wind swept a four-story oil storage tank with 110,000 kilograms to a height of 15 meters and threw it 120 meters away. The tornado also blew down a four-story reinforced concrete building in the suburbs, causing serious casualties.

Ever heard of "tornado hunter"? There is such a group of people in America who are dedicated to chasing my figure. Of course, the so-called hunters can’t hurt me at all. At most, they shoot my majestic posture and record the data when I pass by.

Tim samaras, a famous American tornado hunter, has his own chasing team. When a tornado comes, everyone else is hiding, and only their car runs in the opposite direction. Tim is a professional tornado hunter. The car is loaded with meteorological instruments, collecting data such as wind speed and air pressure, and monitoring my movements in real time with radar charts. But on May 31, 2013, when he was tracking a tornado in Oklahoma, the tornado suddenly turned, and Tim was thrown 800 meters away and died. I really hope that Tim’s unexpected death can alert other fans, to fear nature, and not to be too close to me. You can never predict whether you will catch up with me or I will catch up with you in the next second.

As you may have seen, my figure appears all over the world, and it is not easy to catch me if the so-called dragon sees the tail without the head. Scientists have also explored some of my haunting laws through a lot of data research. I mainly hang out in mid-latitude areas, and I visit North America, Europe, Russian, China, Japanese and Australian every year. Among them, the United States is called the "Tornado Kingdom", which is the country I visit the most, with an average of 1,141 punch cards per year (average from 2000 to 2020).

I have left my trail in most parts of central and eastern China, among which I often go to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Among my favorite provinces, Jiangsu ranks first, and the northern part of Jiangsu is in the climate transition zone between subtropical and warm temperate zones, which is easy to accumulate unstable energy. In addition, the local topography is low and flat, and rivers and lakes are intertwined, which is conducive to my development and growth.

Guangdong is also a province where I often punch in, especially in western Guangdong, where I often appear with typhoons. When the typhoon landed in western Guangdong, the vertical wind shear was often stronger and the water vapor transport was sufficient, which provided a favorable atmospheric environment for my birth. The terrain here was flat and suitable for my growth. In addition, the conditions in Hubei and Anhui are also good, and I will go there twice a year or so.

My favorite playing time is spring and summer, especially from April to August, in which July is the most, accounting for about 28% of the whole year, followed by April. During the day, I prefer to hang out in the afternoon to the evening, because after the solar radiation during the day, the atmospheric stratification is unstable during this period, which is the most prone period for strong convective weather, including me.

Because of my destructive power and elusive unruly personality, there have been various rumors about me in the Jianghu for many years. Today, I will give you a bottom. Don’t be too shocked. Some rumors are really true.

One day, there was a sudden thunder and lightning and dark clouds on the calm water, and then a water column like a dragon suddenly jumped out and soared into the sky, as if to suck up the water on the ground. The legendary dragon absorbs water, which is actually my appearance above the water surface, also known as waterspout. When the dragon absorbs water, my upper end is connected with thunderstorm clouds, and my lower end extends to the water surface, forming a shocking scene of water and sky connecting.

As for letting the sky rain Yu Yu and frogs, this skill is too simple for me. When the waterspout happens, the strong suction may involve fish, frogs and other animals in the water, and then it will be carried to other places by strong wind, which can cause the wonders of animal rain in your eyes.

Can tornadoes "travel" people? I must have seen too many fairy tales to ask this question, but I still have to answer you seriously. It is possible. There was a record that someone was involved in me and was later found hundreds of meters or kilometers away. However, this so-called "trip" is very scary. People involved will face huge wind speed and air pressure, and they will experience dizziness, suffocation, hypothermia, trauma and even tearing. It is definitely a miracle to survive.

So I’m here to remind you that if you meet me unexpectedly, you must stay away as soon as possible and hide in the basement or a solid building. Don’t just focus on making friends and miss the escape time. It is still the peak season of my appearance, and there will be reports of my presence from time to time in various places, so we must not take it lightly.

Enlightenment from the continuous flow of the Yellow River for 20 years: the great river flows to write a picture of green development

  Xinhua News Agency, Zhengzhou, August 14th: Writing a picture of green development by running rivers — — Enlightenment from the continuous flow of the Yellow River for 20 years

  Xinhua News Agency reporters Song Xiaodong and Liu Shiping

  On June 26th, 2018, the Yellow River was photographed on the pontoon bridge between Wuba Town, Taiqian County, Henan Province and yinshan town, Dongping County, Shandong Province (photographed by panorama camera). Xinhua News Agency reporter Feng Dapeng photo

  The surging river meanders like a golden ribbon eastward into the sea. In people’s impression, "how the Yellow River’s waters move out of heaven" ran all the way into the sea, but in fact, in the past 30 years after the 1970s, the Yellow River was cut off for many years. Since 1999, the state has implemented unified management and dispatching of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River has been continuously flowing for 20 years. This mother river of the Chinese nation is feeding the people with a brand-new life form, and it also provides a model for the management and protection of rivers in the world and the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

  Mother River cut off the river and shouted "thirst" up and down.

  For thousands of years, the Yellow River has nurtured Chinese sons and daughters like a mother, and has an important strategic position in China’s economic and social development. However, since the 1970s, the Yellow River has been frequently cut off, which not only directly affected the industrial and agricultural production and life in urban and rural areas along the Yellow River, but also further aggravated the river shrinkage, reduced the self-purification capacity of the river and unbalanced the ecosystem, posing a severe test for economic and social development and ecological environment protection.

  This is a wild goose flying over the Yellow River wetland in Changyuan County, Henan Province on December 25, 2018. Xinhua News Agency reporter Feng Dapeng photo

  Yuan Dongliang, deputy director of the Hydrology Bureau of the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, said that from 1972 to 1999, the Yellow River was cut off for 22 years, with an average of three times in four years. In 1997, the most serious cut-off occurred so far. The cut-off river extended from the estuary to Kaifeng, Henan Province, with a length of 704 kilometers, accounting for 90% of the total length of the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The cut-off of the Yellow River also caused a series of problems such as river shrinkage, reduction of aquatic life and wetland.

  Why is the Yellow River, which has been flowing for thousands of years, cut off? For this reason, the Yellow River Water Conservancy Commission set up the project group of "Cause Analysis and Countermeasure Research on the Yellow River Cut-off", and concluded through argumentation and analysis that natural water resources are poor, human water consumption is increasing day by day and scientific management is lacking.

  This is the winding Yellow River channel (photographed by drone) taken near Zhangzhuang Village, Dongbatou Township, Lankao, Henan Province on June 20, 2018. Xinhua News Agency reporter Feng Dapeng photo

  Zhou Kangjun, a senior engineer of the Water Resources Management and Dispatching Bureau of the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, said that the Yellow River is located in the arid and semi-arid area of Eurasia, with scarce precipitation and poor water resources. However, with 2% of the country’s water resources, it has undertaken the water supply tasks of 12% of the population, 15% of cultivated land and dozens of large and medium-sized cities. Coupled with the climate impact, the rainfall has decreased, and the agricultural irrigation area and water consumption in the Yellow River basin and downstream irrigation areas have increased rapidly, making the water of the Yellow River poor.

  Unified regulation of water resources continues to write about the running of rivers

  Due to the lack of a unified water resources dispatching and management system in the Yellow River in those years, once it encounters a dry year, various places along the river compete for water diversion through water diversion projects, resulting in increasingly serious downstream water cut-off. In 1998, 163 academicians from China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering jointly issued an appeal to "take action to save the Yellow River".

  In order to solve the crisis of Yellow River cut-off, with the approval of the State Council, in December, 1998, the Ministry of Water Resources and other departments jointly promulgated and implemented the Measures for the Management of Yellow River Water Dispatching, authorizing the Yellow River Water Conservancy Commission to implement unified water dispatching of the Yellow River, which was the first in seven river basins in China. On March 1, 1999, the Yellow River Conservancy Commission issued the first dispatching instruction, and 10 days later, the lower reaches of the Yellow River resumed flow as planned.

  In the past 20 years, the chief executive responsibility system has been implemented in the water dispatching of the Yellow River, and the "Measures for the Management of Water Dispatching of the Yellow River" and other laws and regulations have been strictly implemented, and the water resources management system has become increasingly complete; Jointly dispatch the backbone reservoirs of the main branches and tributaries to fully adjust the temporal and spatial distribution of water resources; Improve the Yellow River water resources management system; Explore ways to optimize the allocation of water resources in the Yellow River by market means, and create a precedent for the transfer and transaction of water rights in China.

  Ke Sujuan, director of the Water Mediation Department of the Yellow River Water Conservancy Commission, said that since the unified dispatching of the Yellow River, there have been eight years of extremely dry water, and the water inflow is lower than that in 1997 and 1995, when the interruption was serious. However, through strengthening the dispatching management, there was no interruption.

  Through 20 years’ water dispatching, a dispatching management model of "unified water distribution by the state, water distribution by provinces (regions), dual control of total water consumption and cross-section flow, and unified dispatching of important water intakes and key reservoirs" has been formed on the Yellow River. The water dispatching scope of the Yellow River has been extended from some sections of the main stream to the whole main stream and important tributaries, from non-flood season to flood season, and the dispatching goal has also changed from ensuring the continuous flow of the Yellow River to actively striving for the functional continuous flow of the Yellow River, paying more attention to the protection of ecological water use, and the dispatching means have been constantly improved.

  The river flows smoothly and the water is clear, outlining a new picture of green development

  The Yellow River has not been cut off for 20 years, which not only provides water resources for urban and rural development along the line, but also becomes an ecological corridor, radiating 750,000 square kilometers of green water and green mountains. The water resources of the Yellow River have become an important guarantee for the "granary of China" and an important support for national energy security. It is also a ballast stone for the economic and social development of the basin and a star for the improvement of the ecological environment.

  Ke Sujuan said that Inner Mongolia, Henan, Shandong, Hebei and other provinces (regions) in the Yellow River basin and water supply areas are the main grain producing areas in China, while Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places are important energy bases in China. Since the unified dispatching, the rational distribution, scientific dispatching and dynamic management of the Yellow River water resources have met the water demand of the provinces (regions) to the maximum extent.

  According to statistics, up to now, the cumulative water supply of the main stream has exceeded 600 billion cubic meters. In the case of the "congenital shortage" of water resources in the Yellow River, it has also diverted water from the Yellow River to Tianjin for 7 times, Hebei for 16 times and Qinghai for 20 times, with a total inter-basin water transfer of 21 billion cubic meters, which has provided water source guarantee for human drinking safety, grain harvest and energy security in the river basin and water supply area, nourished the arid and water-deficient northwest China and watered thousands of miles of fields.

  Wang Huaru, a senior engineer of the Yellow River Water Resources Protection Research Institute, said that the unified regulation of water quantity kept a certain flow in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in non-flood season, leaving "ecological water quantity" for the river itself and repairing the downstream river ecosystem. The open water area of wetlands in the Yellow River Delta Nature Reserve has increased from 15% to 60% now, and the number of birds in the nature reserve has increased to 368. Long-lost migratory fish have reappeared, and the estuary delta ecosystem has reappeared with the vitality of green fields and gulls.

  In the past 20 years, from frequent water cut-off to smooth flow of rivers, accurate water resources dispatching and management have made the Yellow River cut-off a thing of the past, which fully embodies the ability of China government to manage rivers and provide reference for other rivers in the world to solve water resources problems.

China’s new regulations clarify that food and drug complaints can request mediation from market supervision departments.

  China news agency, Beijing, December 10 (Reporter Wang Qingkai) On the 10th, the head of the online transaction supervision and management department of the State Administration of Market Supervision of China told reporters about the newly issued Interim Measures for Handling Complaints and Reports in Market Supervision and Management (hereinafter referred to as the Measures), saying that administrative mediation can be applied to all consumer rights disputes in the field of market supervision, including food, medicines, consumer goods, special equipment and intellectual property rights.

  The person in charge said that the formulation of the "Measures" is to unify the channels and processing modes of public appeals and improve the efficiency of serving the public; Straighten out and reconstruct the handling mode of complaints and reports, and promote the "chemical integration" of market supervision functions. Complaints about food and drugs can be mediated by the market supervision department.

  The person in charge believes that the scope of administrative mediation is usually limited to providing relief to the vulnerable groups in the market economy in order to help the market failure. In the field of market supervision, consumers who meet the needs of life can request mediation when they encounter consumer disputes including fair competition, food, medicines, consumer goods, special equipment, prices, intellectual property rights and so on.

  The data shows that administrative mediation has played an important role in consumer rights relief. In 2018, the national market supervision department recovered economic losses of 3.117 billion yuan for consumers through mediation.

  It is reported that the Measures have also made some innovations in the administrative mediation system, exploring the entrusted mediation system and the participation mechanism of professionals. The market supervision department may entrust consumer associations or other mediation organizations established according to law to mediate on its behalf.

  The person in charge particularly emphasized that the Measures clearly stated that the mediation of disputes over consumers’ rights and interests does not exempt operators from other legal responsibilities according to law, and clearly opposes the phenomenon of "substituting punishment with adjustment".

  The Measures will be implemented on January 1, 2020. It will effectively improve the effectiveness of market supervision departments in serving the public and provide strong support for administrative law enforcement.
