Reverse! The prosecutor scrutinized the incident surveillance video frame by frame, and the intentional injury case was changed to self-defense.

CCTV News:Disputes over walking dogs have occurred from time to time in recent years, and some even turned into fierce conflicts and criminal cases. The same is true of this case that we should pay attention to today, because once we walked the dog, the parties went from quarreling to fighting, and finally moved a knife.

Yu Zhou, the procurator of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate, felt that this was an avoidable dispute when consulting the case file of a crime of intentional injury.

Yu Zhou, Procurator of the First Procuratorial Department of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate:As a normal person, it is possible that a little dispute that happened before will end when it is dispersed, and the matter of going home will be over. Under normal circumstances, the incident in the second stage should not happen.

As a party involved, Yan Xiaofeng, a security guard of a pharmaceutical company in Daxing District, Beijing, did not expect that he and the other party were strangers, and only because of an accidental small conflict, it actually triggered a strong chain reaction.

 Yan Xiaofeng:Unexpectedly, no one expected that there would be follow-up events.

Quarrel with the dog owner because the dog broke into the security guard.

So what caused this conflict, and then what chain reaction? It all started with a dog.

At 7: 17 am on August 6, 2018, the electric door of a pharmaceutical company in Daxing District of Beijing slowly opened to welcome colleagues who came to work. The first thing that greeted them was an "uninvited guest".

At 7: 21, Song Shiquan, who was not tied with a dog leash, swaggered into the company yard and got into the bushes on the left side of the gate to "make it convenient". At this time, two people appeared in the door and outside, including Yan Xiaofeng, the company’s security guard.

Yan Xiaofeng:I’ll kick the dog out first, but it won’t go.

Seeing that the dog didn’t move, Yan Xiaofeng made a gesture of waving and hitting. It was this action that angered Yang, who appeared outside the company. He was the owner of the dog and lived in a residential area across the street from the company. Yan Xiaofeng recalled that Yang was often seen walking his dog nearby, but the two never talked. Ten seconds later, two people who didn’t meet each other spoke for the first time, but they were not friendly.

Speech conflict becomes physical conflict, fighting for two minutes.

According to Yang’s inquiry transcript, at that time, because he saw Yan Xiaofeng picking up a stone and hitting his dog, he scolded, and Yu Shisheng came out in the security room and the three men clashed. At this point, the troublemaker Song Shiquan has run to the door from the bushes, but the conflict between the three people has not stopped, and it has escalated from an argument to pushing each other.

Yan Xiaofeng:After Yu Shisheng came out, there was a conflict when they talked. At this time, they scratched, and this man scratched me. At this time, I grabbed him and kicked him out. He was also very strong. The two of us couldn’t push him, so I hit him.

The monitoring screen shows that Yang hit Yan Xiaofeng with a plastic cone, and he himself was knocked down by Yu Shisheng. The whole fighting process lasted only two minutes. At 7: 23, Yang ran across the road.

Yan Xiaofeng:He went to the opposite side of the road. I think what he meant was that he was looking for something. Later, he led the dog back. We thought it was pulled down, and no one suffered anything, so it was over.

Thought things had subsided, but the second round of conflict escalated

In the view of security guard Yan Xiaofeng, both sides are at fault, and they are all "hanged", which is even. However, Yang didn’t think so. According to the police’s inquiry record afterwards, he felt that he had suffered a loss in one pair, so he decided to send the dog home first and then find a way.

Seeing that Yang had left, two security guards continued to stand at the door to greet the employees who came to work. Since Yu Shisheng also called the police before, at 7: 31, Yu Shisheng received a phone call from the police asking about the previous alarm. At this time, Yan Xiaofeng, who was standing outside the door, suddenly found that Yang was coming towards them in an imposing manner, waving a kitchen knife in his hand.

Yan Xiaofeng:Looking back, I don’t know, he took the knife. I said close the door quickly. When Yu Shisheng and I were about to close the door, he had already reached the door and walked very fast. As soon as I saw him here, I hurried into the house.

Seeing that the other side was going to rush in with a knife, Yan Xiaofeng returned his hand and took the riot steel fork.

The two security guards joined forces to counter each other and brandished swords at each other.

 Yan Xiaofeng pushed Yang out of the company with a riot steel fork, and Yu Shisheng also rushed out of the security room with a rubber stick to fight back with Yang. In this process, Yang also tried to cut two security guards with a kitchen knife.

At 7: 33, the arc-shaped head of the explosion-proof steel fork used by Yan Xiaofeng was discounted. He hit Yang’s shoulder and chest with the remaining steel bar, and Yang fought back with a kitchen knife. At this time, several employees have gathered at the door of the company to persuade both parties. According to Yang’s inquiry transcript, he felt that these employees were more polite and had their own steps, so they stopped doing it.

At this time, Yang’s chest and arms have been injured, and Yan Xiaofeng’s arm is also bleeding. The two sides confronted each other inside and outside the door, but did not start work again. Soon, the police rushed to the scene and took the three people to the police station for investigation. During the investigation, Yang complained of arm pain and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Two security guards were detained for causing minor injuries to each other.

After investigation by the police, it was determined that this was a case of mutual assault, and both parties were responsible. The owner of the dog, Yang, was detained for 10 days in administrative detention, while two security guards were criminally detained on suspicion of intentional injury because Yang was slightly injured. A small conflict, and finally both sides paid a painful price. However, the development of this case has not ended here.

During the investigation of the case, Yan Xiaofeng and Yu Shisheng apologized for the damage caused to the victim Yang and expressed their willingness to make compensation within their ability, but the two sides did not reach an agreement on the amount of compensation.

Yan Xiaofeng:He wants 200 thousand, and I want 200 thousand, so I won’t come to Beijing to work, you know? I have a pension of more than 4,000 yuan, but this 4,500 yuan is just enough for my son to take medicine for one month. What do you say?

Although the two sides disputed the amount of compensation, both Yan Xiaofeng and Yu Shisheng admitted that they had committed criminal acts and had no opinion on the crime of intentional injury.

Yan Xiaofeng:Because I thought at that time, after all, the person was beaten, and the disability appraisal came out. No matter what the matter was, you beat the person, which you have to admit, whether you are right or not, this happened.

The prosecutor overturned the guilty conclusion after reviewing the case file.

 On October 29, 2018, the case was transferred to the People’s Procuratorate of Daxing District, Beijing for review and prosecution. However, after carefully reviewing the case, the prosecutor Yu Zhou came to a different conclusion from the public security organ.

Yu Zhou, Procurator of the First Procuratorial Department of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate:The public security organ believes that the victim Yang was injured as a result of fighting between the two sides. After review, we believe that this case should be divided into two stages: the first stage is that the two sides fought each other, but there was no consequence of causing minor injuries to the victim. If the circumstances are obvious, slight and harmless, it is not considered a crime. The second stage is the victim Yang, who went home to get a kitchen knife and rushed back to the pharmaceutical company.

After investigation, Yang’s minor injury was caused after he returned to the scene again, and the procuratorate believed that the actions of the two security guards this time were self-defense.

Yu Zhou, Procurator of the First Procuratorial Department of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate:In the second stage, although it caused the consequences of Yang’s minor injury. Yang’s behavior is a kind of illegal infringement, and the behavior of the two suspects belongs to legitimate defense.

Self-defense comes from Article 20 of China’s Criminal Law, the first paragraph of which stipulates that: in order to protect the state, public interests, personal, property and other rights of oneself or others from ongoing illegal infringement, the act of stopping illegal infringement, which causes damage to the illegal infringer, belongs to self-defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.

 Zhang Renjie, Director of the First Procuratorial Department of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate:The criminal suspect in this case actually has the intention of breaking in with a knife. At this time, the suspect can take a protective steel fork, which is not a murder weapon. In this case, in order to stop his injury, he was injured. Therefore, we believe that this case is ultimately a legitimate defense.

Whether it is justifiable defense is controversial and controversial.

If Yan Xiaofeng and Yu Shisheng caused Yang’s minor injuries in self-defense, it means that they do not constitute a crime, will not be prosecuted according to law, and will not be liable for compensation. However, after all, this case was caused by a fight between the two sides. Is this fight in the back considered as self-defense? There are also disputes within the procuratorial organs.

Zhang Renjie, Director of the First Procuratorial Department of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate:There are great differences and disputes within the procuratorial organs.

Due to disagreement within the procuratorial organs, on December 13, 2018, the People’s Procuratorate of Daxing District of Beijing convened the procuratorial committee for the first time to discuss this case.

Not only this case, but also "self-defense" caused a heated discussion throughout the country at that time. This case in Daxing District of Beijing took place on August 6, 2018. More than half a month later, the "Kunshan Anti-homicide Case" occurred. This case was described by the media as awakening the sleeping self-defense clause, and then the case of Zhao Yu, Fujian Province, and the case of Laiyuan’s home invasion and anti-homicide occurred one after another. People also discussed the standard and scale of self-defense identification and the problems existing in judicial practice for a long time. This case happened in Daxing District, Beijing, although it didn’t attract much attention at that time, all kinds of disputes about the determination of self-defense were fully reflected in this case.

 Due to the lack of consensus, the first inspection Committee did not form a final resolution. The inspection commission asked the undertaker to conduct supplementary investigation on this case. During this period, on December 14, 2018, Yu Shisheng and Yan Xiaofeng were released on bail by the People’s Procuratorate of Daxing District, Beijing. Compared with four months ago, Yan Xiaofeng’s understanding of the case has also changed.

Five days after Yan Xiaofeng was released on bail pending trial, on December 19, 2018, he saw a number of guiding cases of self-defense and excessive defense issued by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate. These cases specifically explain the boundaries and grasp standards of justifiable defense, further clarify the protection of the right of justifiable defense, actively solve the outstanding problems in the application of justifiable defense, and provide judicial reference for procuratorial organs.

Yan Xiaofeng:The Supreme People’s Procuratorate has published four examples of self-defense, one of which is similar to mine. Because you came in with a knife and you have come to my yard, I will push you out, but I won’t hit you right away. After all, you threatened me with a kitchen knife.

Hold the second inspection Committee to review the video of the crime repeatedly.

Comparing four guiding cases, Yan Xiaofeng thinks that his behavior is defensive, and for the victim Yang, after all, it caused minor injuries in this conflict. How should the behavior of the two suspects be determined? All this requires careful analysis and judgment by prosecutors.

After the case was returned to supplementary investigation twice, the second inspection Committee was held on April 4, 2019.

Zhang Renjie, Director of the First Procuratorial Department of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate:At that time, the undertaker put down the most critical paragraphs at a very slow speed every frame and second of the case, so that every member of the inspection Committee could see the situation very clearly.

After further discussion, the procuratorial Committee reached a consensus that the case was divided into two stages, but the legal evaluation of the second conflict still showed three viewpoints: intentional injury, excessive defense and legitimate defense. Among them, the view that it constitutes the crime of intentional injury is that two parties can hide in the guard room at the time of the crime, that is to say, they can avoid the second conflict by avoiding it.

Yu Zhou, Procurator of the First Procuratorial Department of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate:We believe that self-defense cannot require the defender to passively evade and not allow him to fight back. First of all, in this case, we can see the door of the security room through monitoring, and we also saw it when we went to the scene. Half of the door is glass, and the bottom is aluminum alloy, which is not a solid security door. Once Yang rushed into the guard room with a kitchen knife, in a particularly small space, there was no way for the two suspects to maneuver, which would be even more dangerous.

After the incident, this question has been hovering in Yan Xiaofeng’s mind: What would have happened if he had been hiding in the guard room?

Yan Xiaofeng:I thought about it at that time, too. What would happen if I didn’t go out at that time? But employees are going to work. What should we do at this time? What should I do to cause this impact? Because the purpose of my coming here is to ensure the safety of employees and the safety of the factory, I have to do this.

Prosecutor: The security guard has the right to stop the act of breaking into the company with a knife.

Through monitoring, it can be clearly seen that the two security guards have struck Yang, so can these actions indicate that they have the intention of intentional injury? Regarding this controversial point of view, Yu Zhou believes that the two parties are security guards of pharmaceutical companies, who not only have the right to protect themselves from infringement, but also have the duty to protect the personal safety of other employees. At the time of the crime, it was the time for employees to go to work one after another on Monday morning, and someone broke into the company with a knife. As a security guard, it must be stopped.

In the discussion of the procuratorate, there was another view that Yang was just bluffing and didn’t really hack people, and the two suspects were not actually injured. If they were injured, they could be considered as self-defense.

According to Yang’s inquiry transcript: "After the first fight, I think the other party thinks that they have the upper hand and are very proud, so I want to scare the other party and let the other party not think that I am good at bullying."

The transcript also wrote: if the other party still pretends to be with me, then I may actually cut the other party twice. But when I arrived, the other party took out a steel fork and rubber roller, and I felt that the other party was a little scared, so I waved the knife twice without really cutting them.

Regarding the problem that the victim didn’t really want to chop someone up and the two suspects weren’t injured, prosecutors such as Yu Zhou thought that at the time of the incident, the two suspects were facing realistic and urgent danger, and it was too harsh to ask them to fight back after being injured.

If the actions of the two suspects belong to self-defense, is their actions excessive? According to the second paragraph of Article 20 of the Criminal Law, excessive defense means "justifiable defense obviously exceeds the necessary limit and causes great damage". Prosecutor Yu Zhou believes that this case does not constitute "excessive defense" either from the result of Yang’s minor injury or the means of the two suspects.

Yu Zhou, Procurator of the First Procuratorial Department of Daxing District People’s Procuratorate:The result did not cause significant damage, but the result was not excessive. In this case, we saw the two security guards holding proprietary security tools distributed by the security company. Among them, Yan used a U-shaped explosion-proof steel fork to push Yang’s upper body outside the company. When Yang swung at Yu with a kitchen knife, Yu took a rubber baton and hit Yang’s left hand. We think that in this case, the means of defense of the two suspects are not excessive.

Moreover, the prosecutor in Yu Zhou believes that in judging whether it is justifiable defense or excessive defense, we should not only emphasize the equivalence of actual damage results of both sides, but also compare the interests of both sides. When the personal safety and life safety of defenders are in imminent danger, they should be allowed to defend.

Intentional injury, justifiable defense, and excessive defense are very different from each other in terms of results, but they may only be separated by the same distance as hair, which needs to be judged carefully by law enforcers. Then, after two discussions by the procuratorate, what conclusion did the prosecutors finally reach?

The procuratorial Committee finally decided not to prosecute.

Through the judgment of the case and the detailed analysis of the legal application of self-defense, the procuratorial Committee finally reached an agreement that the actions of the suspects Yu Shisheng and Yan Xiaofeng belonged to self-defense and were not enough to constitute a crime according to law. On April 8, 2019, the People’s Procuratorate of Daxing District of Beijing made a decision not to prosecute Yan Xiaofeng and Yu Shisheng.

On April 10, 2019, Yan Xiaofeng and Yu Shisheng, accompanied by lawyers, came to the Daxing District People’s Procuratorate in Beijing, and a hanging heart finally landed.

Yan Xiaofeng:I just don’t think I’m sure I’ll go back, but when I was struggling, the prosecutor announced that I wouldn’t sue. I was in tears. Really, my mood was different and I was released immediately.

For Yan Xiaofeng and Yu Shisheng, this non-prosecution decision recognized from the legal level that the two men "took actions to stop illegal infringement in order to protect themselves and others’ personal rights from ongoing illegal infringement". In the eyes of their defense lawyers, through this non-indictment, what they see is the rigor and meticulousness of the prosecutors and the time and energy invested. In particular, dividing the case into two stages makes the legal judgment clearer.

After getting the indictment, Yan Xiaofeng still returned to the pharmaceutical company as a security guard. After experiencing this storm, Yan Xiaofeng, who usually likes to watch legal programs, has a more personal experience of the "fairness and justice" that is often said on TV.

Yan Xiaofeng:It’s true to handle cases fairly, and it’s fair in my life, because many things can be felt before this, and judicial justice is reflected in this prosecutor.

At present, the party Yang has filed a criminal private prosecution with the court. In this case, the inspection Committee was held twice, and the views collided fiercely, and the argument was rigorous and meticulous, only to finally draw a conclusion that can stand the test of all parties. Fairness and justice have also emerged in this process.

Promoting the high-quality development of state-owned enterprises with digital thinking

    General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that developing the digital economy is a strategic choice to grasp the new opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. The healthy development of the digital economy is conducive to promoting the construction of a new development pattern, a modern economic system and a new competitive advantage of the country. As the backbone of national economic development, state-owned enterprises should contribute to the development of digital economy.

    Strengthen the leadership of party building in state-owned enterprises.State-owned enterprises not only have the inherent appeal of creating economic profits, but also need to undertake the heavy responsibility of consolidating the party’s ruling foundation, so as to achieve the organic unity of improving the economic and social benefits of enterprises and preventing and controlling risks. The establishment of digital thinking in state-owned enterprises is not only the need of enterprise economic development, but also the practical need of maintaining public ownership. However, due to its wide coverage, slow effectiveness and large capital investment, it is difficult for enterprises to do this only by relying on a certain department, and it is necessary for party organizations to play their role of commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties. Party organizations in state-owned enterprises play an important role in the digital construction of enterprises. In order to truly realize the empowerment and cohesion of party organizations for the high-quality development of state-owned enterprises, the party organizations of state-owned enterprises need to make four changes: First, the transformation from management to service. Adhering to the Party’s overall leadership, Party organization construction should strive to meet the reasonable demands of all stakeholders as much as possible, and close the relationship between the Party and the masses through diversified services. The second is the change from bureaucratic type to network type. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "there is no national security without cyber security, and there is no modernization without informationization". The digital construction of enterprises can not be separated from massive information and complete network system, which will also promote the development of enterprise organizational structure from the original vertical hierarchical system to the flat simulation market network.State-owned enterprises should adapt to the networked enterprise organizational structure and actively explore the establishment of a new model of party-mass work with the new concept of networked management. The third is the transformation from closed type to open type. With the deepening of digital construction, various new ideas are constantly emerging, and the speed of knowledge updating is accelerating. This requires the party and mass workers in enterprises to establish an open concept, keep abreast of the latest trends of workers’ thoughts and the development and changes of the international situation, strengthen ideological and political guidance, and enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of party and mass work. The fourth is the transformation from extensive to fine. In the process of party organization construction in state-owned enterprises, party and mass workers should examine and reflect on the management mode in time, firmly grasp the "people", "concepts" and "digital technology", work hard on the combination, make a fuss, grasp the implementation, work hard on the application of lean tools and methods, and seek improvement and practical results.

    Cultivate independent innovation talents in digital technology.Nowadays, China’s digital economy is developing with each passing day, but there is a big gap in talents related to digital technology. Faced with this challenge, state-owned enterprises must unify their understanding and actions through excellent corporate culture, stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of independent innovation talents in digital technology within enterprises, and then enhance the innovation ability and core competitiveness of state-owned enterprises. By constructing a good talent training mechanism, use mechanism, incentive mechanism and competition mechanism, we can not only cultivate high-quality professional cadres, but also cultivate innovative digital technology talents, and provide talent support for the high-quality development of state-owned enterprises. In view of the shortage of digital technology talents, state-owned enterprises can solve it through three ways: First, seek professional support from the state. We will provide intellectual support for high-quality development by inviting the state to set up a digital technology expert group to visit enterprises on the spot and provide remote guidance by digital technology experts. The second is cooperation with universities. Through the establishment of enterprise base classes and other forms, the "order-based" talent training is implemented to meet the needs of digital talents in enterprises. The third is to strengthen the training of existing digital talents in enterprises to meet the needs of digital development in the new stage. By promoting internal and external knowledge transfer, strengthening the construction of information team, and forming "key users — Internal consultant — The three-level operation system of external consultant.

    Strengthen the digital infrastructure construction of state-owned enterprises.From "asset-driven" to "data-driven", it is necessary to improve the digital infrastructure, organically couple with traditional resources, and realize the interconnection of data production, storage, sharing and analysis within the enterprise resource architecture. To establish digITal thinking, it is necessary to build brand-new IT structural models such as "data center" and "business center" that meet the operating characteristics and development needs of state-owned enterprises, and establish a digital information technology empowerment platform for state-owned enterprises with the protection of agile and efficient new digital information technology infrastructure to stimulate new kinetic energy of data elements and make data become productive forces. To this end, state-owned enterprises need to do the following three things in building digital infrastructure: First, raise awareness of the importance of digital infrastructure construction. For state-owned enterprises, accelerating the construction of digital infrastructure can, on the one hand, promote technological transformation and equipment renewal, and provide strong support for the conversion of old and new kinetic energy; On the other hand, it can promote the rapid iteration of application scenarios and business models such as intelligent transportation, smart city, intelligent manufacturing and smart energy, and form new economic growth points for the new round of investment expansion. The second is to clarify the main tasks of digital infrastructure construction. Digital infrastructure construction covers not only sensor terminals, 5G networks, big data centers, industrial Internet, etc., but also the use of next-generation information technologies such as Internet of Things, edge computing and artificial intelligence.Digital, networked and intelligent upgrading of traditional infrastructure such as transportation, energy, ecology and industry. The third is to increase the human, financial and material support for the construction of digital infrastructure. Digital infrastructure construction is a systematic project, which requires state-owned enterprises to strengthen the investment of people, money and materials through various measures, and also to jointly develop technology and build facilities by introducing third-party channels.

    Improve the governance system of state-owned enterprises.The penetration of digitalization into all levels of state-owned enterprises forces enterprises to transform, and the requirements for the reconstruction of internal production, operation and management mechanisms are becoming more and more urgent. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) also mentioned in the Notice on Accelerating the Digital Transformation of State-owned Enterprises that digital transformation is not only a top-ranking project, but also an innovative activity involving all employees and all elements. It is necessary to fully stimulate the vitality of grassroots innovation, create an atmosphere of being brave, willing and good at digital transformation, and strengthen the next game of chess. It can be said that the establishment of digital thinking requires the transformation of all employees of the enterprise, involving cross-organizational and cross-departmental collaborative work, so it should be considered comprehensively. Specifically, state-owned enterprises need to build a "four-in-one" governance system: first, promote the reform of corporate shareholding system. According to the development goal of digital construction, state-owned enterprises should clarify their development ideas, build a scientific management system, and effectively provide protection for the deserved interests of digital technology talents. The second is to improve the corporate governance structure. State-owned enterprises should standardize the construction of the board of directors, effectively implement the functions and powers of the board of directors, reform the management system of external directors, and strictly manage the selection and appointment of directors, so that the board of directors can truly become the decision-making body of enterprises, thus giving voice to digital technology talents and enhancing their voice and influence. The third is to manage the digital technology leaders of state-owned enterprises by classification and stratification. According to different categories and levels of state-owned enterprises, there are many flexible ways to promote and appoint digital technology leaders in state-owned enterprises, such as appointment system, selection system and appointment system, but they must pass strict examination.The fourth is to improve the salary distribution system of state-owned enterprises. Whether the state-owned enterprises can establish a salary distribution system that conforms to the economic law and the law of digital technology personnel training is related to the vital interests and potential of enterprise employees, the implementation of the salary incentive function and the strategy of "strengthening enterprises with talents", and the long-term development of enterprises and the stability of people’s hearts. To this end, state-owned enterprises must establish and improve the salary system with the purpose of encouraging labor and enhancing the creative vitality of digital technology talents, reflecting efficiency and promoting fairness.

Open the door remotely, change your face and sound? How to ensure security in the AI era?

  CCTV News:Network security is related to many aspects of production and life. In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has brought many conveniences to people, but also brought many new challenges to network security.

  A loophole may become a hacker’s "key"

  Nowadays, unmanned driving is no longer a scene in science fiction, but has become a reality in many places in China. However, what will happen if a smart car is attacked by a network? Network security experts simulated this scene for us.

  Network security expert Deng Qinyang:Hackers invade our vehicles through the network, and then move horizontally to take advantage of related loopholes in parts. Now the user is driving the vehicle normally, and then I can simulate a hacker’s remote attack on our door (system) to realize an operation of opening the door remotely. Now our system detects an instruction to open the door remotely during driving, so it is very dangerous for our door to be opened during real driving.

  According to experts, if the security vulnerability is only aimed at the application level, the threat is limited to individuals. However, if hackers attack the underlying systems such as driving and communication, the damage will be more extensive.

  Build a "safety base" and fasten the network "safety belt"

  The data shows that in 2023, there were 8.05 million attacks on domestic car networking service platforms, a year-on-year increase of 25.5%. It is urgent to build the "safety base" of intelligent networked cars. In this regard, China has issued a number of relevant laws and regulations, and issued and implemented a number of vehicle safety standards and more than ten platform safety standards.

  How to ensure safety and distinguish authenticity in AI era

  In addition to the unmanned field, many lawless elements also use AI to change their faces and voices, infringing on citizens’ personal privacy. A "portrait photo" and a close-up video of people may become new tools for criminals.

  "Face-changing" forged indecent photos, extortion by criminals

  Not long ago, Mr. Wu of Shenzhen suddenly received a multimedia message from a strange mobile phone number. When he clicked on it, it turned out to be an indecent photo of him and a strange woman in the hotel room.

  Party Mr Wu:He threatened to contact me before what time to transfer money to him. As soon as I thought something was wrong, I called the police.

  After receiving the report, the police immediately conducted an investigation. By combing the report records, the police found that Mr. Wu was not the only one who had the same experience. With the deepening of the investigation, the police found that this was a criminal gang with a clear division of labor. Some people are responsible for retouching, some are responsible for finding targets, and some are responsible for extortion. Subsequently, the police launched a unified network-receiving operation and successfully arrested more than 10 suspects headed by Wang.

  Wei Zhang, a policeman from Pingshan Branch of shenzhen public City, Guangdong Province:Relevant evidence extracted from the suspect’s computer, these pictures are the victim’s picture information collected by the suspect from various channels such as the Internet, and then they are synthesized, which is the indecent photos synthesized by the suspect and used to blackmail the victim. 

  It only takes one photo to confuse the fake with the real.

  So how do these fake photos get the real thing? Network security experts demonstrated the technology of "AI face changing" for us, which only needs a static photo of the target character to make the characters in the photo move.

  Jaco, member of the Professional Committee of Artificial Intelligence Security Governance of China Cyberspace Security Association:The rightmost side of itself is a static picture that won’t move, so after our (presenter) does some actions, it (AI face-changing software) collects the moving features of (presenter) face, and integrates this feature into a static picture, so that the picture moves according to our (presenter’s) actions. At present, AI face-changing technology is still relatively mature, and it can also support real-time face-changing of video calls. If it is combined with changing the background environment, changing the sound, etc., the fidelity will be higher and it will be more difficult to distinguish. 

  Accelerate the development and application of related countermeasures technology.

  In view of the abuse of technologies such as "AI face-changing", a few days ago, the National Network Security Standardization Technical Committee released the 1.0 version of the "Artificial Intelligence Security Governance Framework", proposing corresponding technical responses and comprehensive prevention measures, as well as guidelines for the safe development and application of artificial intelligence. In this regard, network security experts suggest that we should speed up the development and application of related countermeasures and use AI to govern AI.

  How to ensure safety and personal privacy in the AI era

  To guard against the threat posed by AI, what should we ordinary people pay attention to in our daily life besides upgrading our efforts in technology?

  Avoid excessive disclosure of information such as face fingerprints.

  According to experts, the most critical reason for AI’s face-changing and other illegal acts is the disclosure of personal privacy information. Therefore, we should try to avoid excessive disclosure and sharing of personal biological information such as faces and fingerprints in the daily online process. If you receive a video that looks like "family" and "leader" and other transfers and remittances, you must carefully identify them.

  Be alert! Don’t send these three kinds of photos casually

  In addition, experts suggest that the following photos should not be posted on the Internet.

  First, don’t publish hand-held ID cards or hand-held white photos, which will contain sensitive information such as personal name, ID number and address.

  Second, don’t post photos of all kinds of bills. Many people like to take train tickets or plane boarding passes when traveling on business and travel, and send them to their circle of friends to share. These bills will not only contain information such as name, place of departure, destination, etc., but also the personal information of passengers in the stripe code or QR code, which may be cracked and stolen by criminals.

New construction supports "China Construction" to enter a new era.

ImageFetcher (5).jpg

Mao Zhibing, former chief engineer of china state construction engineering corporation and distinguished researcher of Strategic Research Institute.

The basic performance of the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry lies in high-quality development, which essentially embodies the new development concept. The key lies in changing the development mode and improving quality and efficiency. The connotation of high-quality development of the construction industry is embodied in "resource conservation, environmental protection, process safety, lean construction, quality assurance, and ultimately value creation".

At present, China has entered a new era of high-quality development. In order to better meet the challenges of sustainable development and the needs of industrial transformation and upgrading, with the strong support of new materials, new equipment and new technologies, engineering construction is centering on quality and efficiency, developing into a "new construction mode" with a higher degree of green, industrialization and intelligence, and making "China Construction" bigger and stronger.

The new construction mode refers to the goal of "greening", the technical means of "intelligence", the mode of production of "industrialization", the material basis of green building materials, and the implementation carrier of general contracting and whole-process consulting services to realize "energy saving and environmental protection, efficiency improvement, quality improvement and safety guarantee" in the construction process.

Grasping the "Three Creations", Integrating Innovation and Driving the High-quality Development of the Industry

For the construction industry, how to promote technological innovation and industry transformation by means of the integration of "Made in China, Created in China and Built in China" will be the most fundamental path for the construction industry to achieve high-quality development.

"Manufacturing+creation+construction" is the internal gene of the transformation of production mode in construction industry. The spillover, transfer and diffusion of advanced manufacturing technology to the construction industry will be an inevitable trend. It is necessary to promote the integration and innovation of modern industrial technology, information technology and traditional construction industry, seek the perfect fit between architectural art and construction technology, and provide "people-oriented" public social products.

Coordinate the coordinated development of "four modernizations" and promote the reform of construction methods

Under the new development concept, it is a new task in the new era to promote the transformation of traditional construction methods to modern construction methods such as energy saving, green, low carbon and environmental protection, and to promote the coordinated development of "China Construction" in green, intelligent, industrialization and internationalization, and it is also an important measure for China’s construction industry to promote supply-side structural reform.

Greening is the core requirement of the new concept, and vigorously developing green buildings has become an important measure to realize carbon emission reduction in the construction field. Intelligentization is the key engine of the new era, which provides strong technical support for the development of new construction methods. Industrialization is the solid foundation of modernization. Reorganizing the construction industry by industrialization is an important way to improve labor efficiency and construction quality, and it is of great significance to promote the overall transformation and upgrading of the construction industry and build a brand of "Made in China" with international competitiveness. Internationalization is the key requirement of the new pattern. Only by promoting international operation and giving full play to the advantages of the whole industrial chain can we participate in global competition in a wider range.

Scientifically grasp the inevitable trend of the development of production mode to new construction

The foothold of the new construction method is green construction, smart construction and building industrialization, which will promote the "three-all upgrade" of the whole process, all elements and all participants, and promote the "three-new drive" of new design, new construction and new operation and maintenance.

Industry enterprises should have a historical view and deeply understand that promoting the industrialization of new buildings is the basis for the high-quality development of the industry. Developing new building industrialization is a powerful starting point to promote energy conservation and emission reduction in the construction field, an important measure to promote the current stable economic growth, an effective way to promote technological progress and improve production efficiency, and an effective way to enhance the international competitiveness of the construction industry. To have a future view and accurately grasp smart construction is the key to the high-quality development of the industry. Promoting the development and application of smart construction is an inevitable requirement of the times, an inevitable choice to upgrade the scientific and technological content of the industry, improve the quality of talents, and promote international integration. It is the only way to solve the problems of insufficient development such as relative lack of resources and insufficient balance between supply and demand in China, and it is also the key to China’s construction industry occupying the commanding heights of the global industry in the future. It is the destination of high-quality industrial development to have a holistic view and firmly grasp the green construction. People-centered should be the core guiding concept for the high-quality development of construction industry. The most basic requirement for the high-quality development of the construction industry is to provide people with higher-quality building products, create more valuable application scenarios, provide better and efficient construction services, and give consideration to both man and nature, that is, to achieve green construction.

The path for the high-quality development of China’s construction industry lies in the comprehensive transformation of the development mode driven by the integration of "three industries" and "four modernizations", adhering to the people-centered position, further improving the quality and efficiency, further promoting the sustainable development of man and nature, further expanding the application scenarios of digital economy and smart society, promoting the quality, power and efficiency changes of China’s construction industry, and building a modern system and new construction methods of the construction industry with China characteristics.

Knowledge process outsourcing business such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology R&D and testing, product technology R&D and industrial design has grown rapidly.

    VI. The Development Report of Renewable Resources Industry in China (2013) was released.

Recently, entrusted by the Ministry of Commerce, China Materials Recycling Association compiled and published the Report on the Development of Renewable Resources Industry in China (2013). Focusing on the key varieties of renewable resources, the Development Report shows the overall situation and latest trends of the development of renewable resources industry through domestic and international and regional comparisons, and forecasts and prospects the development trend of recycling industry in 2014.

According to the Development Report, in recent years, the recycling industry of renewable resources has developed steadily under the impetus of the relevant policies of the state to develop circular economy. In 2013, there were more than 100,000 renewable resource recycling enterprises in China, with about 18 million employees. The total amount of major renewable resources recovered in eight categories, including waste steel, waste nonferrous metals, waste plastics, waste tires, waste paper, waste electrical and electronic products, waste automobiles and waste ships, was about 160 million tons, with a total recovery value of 481.71 billion yuan. However, affected by the macroeconomic situation and other factors, the recycling industry is generally in a period of adjustment, market confidence has not fully recovered, and the recycling volume of individual varieties has declined slightly. For example, the volume of plastic recycling was about 13.66 million tons, down 14.6% year-on-year; The recycling of waste paper was about 43.77 million tons, down 2% year-on-year.

The "Development Report" also shows that recycling renewable resources has a significant effect on energy saving and emission reduction compared with using primary materials. According to the total amount of recovery, recycling renewable resources in 2013 can save energy by 172.725 million tons of standard coal, accounting for 4.6% of the national total energy consumption of 3.75 billion tons of standard coal, reducing wastewater discharge by 11,201.367 million tons, sulfur dioxide discharge by 3.77 million tons and solid waste discharge by 3,575.509 million tons.

The Development Report also predicted the development trend of the recycling industry in 2014. On the whole, with the favorable policy opportunity of China’s new rural construction and urbanization development, the long-term trend of renewable resources recycling industry is improving, and it is expected to get out of the current adjustment period. Among them, the development of park agglomeration will become the development direction of the industry, and low-value varieties such as waste glass will be paid more and more attention.

[Shen Danyang]: The above is the main business operation from January to May, and you are welcome to ask questions.

[CCTV News Center reporter]: In May, the import and export decreased from the previous month to the growth, especially the export increased from 4.8% in April to 5.4%. Does this indicate that the foreign trade situation has begun to improve? In addition, what is the main reason for the decline in imports in May? How does the Ministry of Commerce view the foreign trade import and export situation in the next few months? Thank you.

[Shen Danyang]: In May this year, in terms of US dollars, the national import and export increased by 3%, of which exports increased by 7%, and the growth rate was 6.1 percentage points higher than that of the previous month. The rebound in export growth in May benefited from the introduction of the central government’s policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade, boosted the confidence of export enterprises, benefited from the steady recovery of international market demand, and was also related to the weakening of the influence of abnormal trade factors at the beginning of last year.

From the trend point of view, export growth has indeed shown a gradual improvement momentum. In fact, this can be seen from the data in April and May. Although the economies of the United States, Japan and Europe fluctuated in May, they remained basically stable. JPMorgan Chase’s global comprehensive PMI index and new order index both reached 54.3, hitting new highs in the year and higher than the same period last year, indicating that the global recovery has accelerated. Emerging economies have gradually digested the negative impact of the withdrawal of quantitative easing monetary policy in the United States, and their economies have also improved. The HSBC PMI Emerging Markets Index has rebounded for three consecutive months, reaching 50.6 in May. In the first five months, China’s exports to the United States, Japan and Europe increased by 6.3%, and exports to ASEAN increased by 6.6%. From the perspective of trade mode, although processing trade is still relatively weak, the growth rate of general trade exports has exceeded 8% for three consecutive months, and the export scale of bulk commodities such as clothing, shoes, digital TV, smart phones and automobiles has been expanding. The above has analyzed the export situation for everyone, and it should be said that the export has gradually improved.

Speaking of imports, in terms of US dollars, the national imports fell by 1.6% in May, which was a negative growth for three consecutive months, with general trade falling by 5.5% and processing trade falling by 1.1%. What is the reason for the decline in imports? There are three main reasons for our analysis: First, domestic demand is still relatively weak. Second, the international market prices of energy and resource products such as iron ore, nonferrous metals, refined oil and semi-refined oil have fallen. In fact, the number of some imported commodities has increased. It is not necessarily a bad thing that the import value decreases due to the decline of commodity prices in the international market. Third, the role of other factors, such as exchange rate fluctuations and so on.

Speaking of the foreign trade situation throughout the year, you may be more concerned about what will happen in the next few months. We believe that in the next few months, there will still be more favorable factors than unfavorable ones, and foreign trade is expected to continue the momentum of stabilization and recovery. Of course, the current situation is still complicated and grim, and the task is still arduous to achieve the expected development goals. The main favorable factors are the rebound of foreign market demand, the introduction of support policies by the state, and the confidence of export enterprises is boosting. It is very important to boost the confidence of export enterprises. The survey of more than 1,900 key foreign trade enterprises in China by the Ministry of Commerce shows that the export confidence index has reached 108.9 in May, and it is not bad to exceed 100. The confidence index we surveyed has reached 108.9, which has been above the critical line for three consecutive months, indicating that exports will continue to improve in the second half of the year. The forecasts of China Academy of Social Sciences and China Lixin Risk Management Research Institute also show that the growth rate of foreign trade is expected to pick up further in the second half of the year.

Of course, there are also unfavorable factors. The main unfavorable factors are that the foundation for the stabilization of external demand is not strong, and the advantages of China’s traditional exports are weakening. On the import side, due to weak domestic demand, import confidence is relatively weak.

Faced with this trend, in the next few months, or the whole second half of the year, the top priority of foreign trade work is to conscientiously implement the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Supporting the Stable Growth of Foreign Trade, and implement the Opinions to ensure that every decision and deployment of the central government can benefit enterprises and achieve practical results. At the same time, we will actively guide enterprises to continuously improve their independent innovation capability and core competitiveness, and strive to achieve the expected goals.

[First Financial TV reporter]: I have two questions. First, on May 29th, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China issued a report, which showed that 552 EU enterprises in China lacked confidence in China. They said that China’s investment environment was not as advantageous as before due to the economic slowdown, increasing competitive pressure and rising labor costs. What is the view of the Ministry of Commerce? Secondly, Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to Europe has attracted everyone’s attention. It is reported that the Sino-British talks will sign a large bill of 10 billion US dollars, including China’s possible investment in high-speed rail projects in Britain. Please tell us about it. thank you

Shen Danyang: First question, we have noticed the relevant report issued by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, and will pay attention to and seriously study the problems and suggestions reflected in it. Including some problems encountered by EU enterprises in investing in China, are also problems that the China government is trying to solve. Most of these problems are not new. At the same time, these problems are common to most developing countries, and many of them are actually getting better rather than the opposite. Therefore, some media have come to the conclusion that China’s market is losing its appeal, which I think is untenable.

China’s domestic political stability, expanding market scale, increasing opening of industrial sectors and continuous improvement of business environment still have outstanding comprehensive advantages in attracting foreign investment. There are a lot of data to support this judgment. We have talked about these data in many press conferences, so I won’t repeat them. However, there is indeed room for further improvement in our business environment, so the China Municipal Government has been making continuous efforts from top to bottom. For example, on May 28 this year, the Ministry of Commerce issued an announcement and decided to carry out a three-month pilot project to standardize and optimize the approval of foreign investment. Except for the special industry of direct selling, the establishment and change of foreign-invested enterprises approved by the Ministry of Commerce according to law are all included in the pilot scope. The main contents of the pilot include shortening the time limit for examination and approval, simplifying the application procedures and simplifying the application documents. Through this pilot work, the Ministry of Commerce will explore useful measures to further shorten the examination and approval time, improve the examination and approval efficiency and standardize the examination and approval behavior, and provide experience for further deepening the reform of administrative examination and approval. In the next step, we will continue to coordinate and push relevant parties to intensify reforms, expand market access, improve the investment environment, and continue to enhance China’s attractiveness to foreign investment.

As for Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to Britain and Greece, this visit will certainly produce good economic and trade results, but at the beginning of the visit, everyone should wait patiently, and I believe there will be good news to tell you later. Thank you.

[AFP reporter]: ASEAN countries are generally very important sources of foreign direct investment in China from January to May, but it dropped by 22.3% year-on-year. Is there any special reason? Because we know that there have been some tense relations with some ASEAN member countries, such as Vietnam, has this affected ASEAN’s investment in China? In addition, has the Ministry of Commerce studied whether this decline is temporary, monthly or will become a trend?

Shen Danyang: Judging from the current situation, China’s foreign investment is good, and ASEAN countries’ investment in China is good. Some data changes are mainly affected by the change of project base. For example, there were some relatively large projects last year, but these projects are gone this year, so there is such a data change in comparison. However, this is not a trend situation. Generally speaking, the economic and trade cooperation between China and ASEAN has not been affected by some current peripheral factors. We believe that the economic and trade cooperation between China and ASEAN, whether in trade or investment, will still maintain the momentum of rapid development.

[national business daily reporter]: You just said that the top task of the Ministry of Commerce at present is to decompose and implement the new National Document No.19. Can you tell us what stage it has reached? In addition, recently, we are more concerned about whether Ali’s acquisition of Hang Seng Electronics is handled as a simple case. Can you tell us about the current anti-monopoly review work carried out by the Ministry of Commerce?

[Shen Danyang]: Document No.19 is a very important document, which will play an important role in the next step of foreign trade export, import, transformation and upgrading, and stable development. Therefore, the Ministry of Commerce attaches great importance to the implementation of this opinion and has made it the top priority of our foreign trade work at present.

We made a comprehensive deployment of the national business system at the first time, and soon sent nine working groups to 13 key provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country to carry out work, mainly to carry out research and publicize policies. At the same time, we organized various import and export chambers of commerce, relevant research institutions and the media to conduct research in textile, light industry, Minmetals, edible soil, electromechanical and other industries, and conducted a questionnaire survey of foreign trade enterprises to deeply understand their demands and listen to their opinions and suggestions. At present, a very important task is to push the relevant departments to introduce various supporting measures as soon as possible in accordance with the requirements of the documents. For example, in terms of trade facilitation measures, how to further decentralize administrative examination and approval items, reduce the types of automatic import licensing shopping, cancel or reduce the import and export fees of directly affiliated institutions, effectively reduce the burden on enterprises, and improve the level of trade facilitation are all our key tasks, which are led by the Ministry of Commerce. At the same time, we are also supervising or coordinating the work of other departments.

Zhejiang Rongxin Network Technology Co., Ltd. intends to acquire all the shares of Hang Seng Electronics Group Co., Ltd., and the operators are concentrated. We have filed a case on June 4 and are currently in the review stage.

[Phoenix Satellite TV reporter]: The first question is coming on June 21st, the first anniversary of the signing of the cross-strait service agreement. We have also seen the controversy caused by this agreement. Some news said that the two sides of the strait have suspended the negotiations on relevant mechanisms, including trade in goods, including dispute settlement mechanism and aviation laws. We have seen some departments come out to make rumors. I would like to ask if the relevant negotiations are still going on and how is the progress? Will it affect our attitude towards cross-strait negotiations because of the signing process of Taiwan Province’s service trade? In addition, if Taiwan Province conducts a step-by-step review of cross-strait service agreements, have we decided whether we can return or what to do next? Second, in the first five months, the investment in Japan and the United States has basically increased by more than 144%, but it seems that the investment in China from these two countries has decreased, especially in Japan, by more than 40%. What do you think of this phenomenon? Thank you. 

[Shen Danyang]: Regarding the negotiation of goods trade agreements and dispute settlement agreements, cross-strait business authorities and industries have actually maintained communication and exchange of views. Our attitude towards continuously promoting the institutionalization of cross-strait economic cooperation and promoting the follow-up consultation of ECFA has not changed. We also hope to continue to strengthen cross-strait economic cooperation for the benefit of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and we do not want this process to be affected. What needs to be reiterated here is that the cross-strait service trade agreement is a signed agreement, which is authorized by the two associations. The authority of the two associations’ authorized consultations and agreements should be maintained.

Everyone is very concerned about the changes in investment in Japan and the United States, and the question raised by a reporter just now is somewhat similar. What I can answer now is that these changes in investment are mainly affected by the changes in the amount of some projects, because the relatively fast growth this year is often due to the relatively small base last year, so last year, there was a big increase not only for the United States and Japan, but also for Russia. Last year, the amount of a merger and acquisition project in the Canadian oil field reached more than 10 billion US dollars, and this year there was no such a large amount. In addition, last year, a lot of investment in Canada was transferred through Hong Kong, which affected the growth of investment in Hong Kong. Of course, we need to analyze whether there are other factors, and we are doing analysis now. Just now, the reporter asked, is this a trend change, or is it really caused by a project? This needs to be followed up for several months before a conclusion can be drawn.

[Reporter china securities journal]: How does the Ministry of Commerce view the current consumer market situation, and what are its expectations for the annual consumer market? Thank you.

[Shen Danyang]: The total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 12.5% in May, 0.6 percentage points faster than that in April, which is the highest growth rate since this year. Although the cumulative growth in the first five months was 12.1%, it still slowed down slightly by 0.5 percentage points compared with the same period of the previous year. Overall, this year’s consumer market is basically stable and getting better and better.

Regarding the situation of consumption throughout the year, we believe that as the macro economy continues to stabilize and improve, the consumer market is expected to further stabilize and rebound, and then the consumer market will continue to maintain a steady growth and sustained development trend. Why can you make such a judgment? Mainly based on four reasons:

First, from the trend, the cumulative growth rate of total retail sales of social consumer goods accelerated month by month in the first five months of this year, increasing by 11.8% in January-February, 12% in January-March and January-April, and 12.1% in January-May.

Second, from the perspective of power, the driving force for stimulating consumption growth is still behind. Deepening reform and further simplifying administration and decentralization will fully release and stimulate market vitality. The growth of residents’ employment is stable, with 6 million new jobs in January-May, which will stabilize consumer confidence and spending power, and the endogenous driving force of consumption growth will continue to increase.

Third, from the policy point of view, while expanding information consumption and pension consumption, the government pays attention to directional regulation and has successively introduced a series of policy measures, such as accelerating the transformation of shanty towns, supporting the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, increasing railway construction in the central and western regions, and supporting the steady growth of foreign trade. These policy measures have provided important support for consumption growth.

Fourth, from the perspective of consumption structure, new consumption hotspots such as online shopping and new electronic products have gradually formed, and popular catering is gradually picking up, which also promotes the rapid growth of consumption.

[Xinhua News Agency reporter]: We noticed that the actual use of foreign capital in May decreased year-on-year, but at the same time, the actual use of foreign capital in the service industry has been growing in recent months, and from the situation in the first five months, the growth rate of the actual use of foreign capital in the service industry is even faster than the growth rate of 19.1% in the previous four months, and it continues to grow in the proportion of the whole country. I would like to ask Director Shen, will the rapid growth of the actual use of foreign capital in the service industry be a trend in the future? In addition, from the numerical point of view, the scale of foreign investment in distribution services and transportation services has been relatively large in recent months. What are the reasons? What is the next step for the Ministry of Commerce to further expand and open the service industry?

[Shen Danyang]: I think you are keenly aware of this trend problem. I think this is a trend situation. In fact, it has been more than a few months. In recent years, the proportion of service industry in China’s utilization of foreign capital has been expanding, and the growth rate of service industry’s utilization of foreign capital is obviously much faster than that of manufacturing, agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry and fishery. On the one hand, the market has formed this kind of attraction. Foreign investors come to China for development first, and it is for the attraction of the market. That’s why I said just now that the view that China is losing its appeal is untenable. More and more foreign businessmen have seen the potential market opportunities in the development of China’s service industry.

On the other hand, our country’s industrial restructuring and vigorous development of service industry and service trade have provided more opportunities for enterprises, especially foreign-invested enterprises, to develop in China. For example, many policies and measures, such as further opening up, building a new open economic system, and vigorously developing service trade, are conducive to foreign investors to invest in the development of service industry in China, and the service industry will open wider and more fields. Therefore, this is a trend feature, and I don’t think there should be any major reversal changes. On the other hand, the proportion of manufacturing industry in the whole utilization of foreign capital in China tends to decline, which is also a trend. Of course, we don’t want to drop too much. We hope that some advanced manufacturing industries, which are conducive to structural adjustment, will continue to attract foreign investment.

When it comes to the Ministry of Commerce’s promotion of foreign capital utilization in the service industry, we have been studying how to further expand foreign capital utilization in the service industry. However, foreign capital in the service industry covers a wide range and fields, so we need to conduct research with various industries and relevant departments, open it in an orderly manner, conform to the direction of the overall economic restructuring, and combine it with some steps of our opening up, including some international negotiations we have participated in. Of course, the Ministry of Commerce also manages a very important business, that is, service trade. The development of service trade is also inseparable from the utilization of foreign capital and the further opening up of the service industry. Recently, we are working hard to study and further promote the relevant policies for the development of service industry and service trade, and we are drafting a very important document around building a new open economic system. Thank you for your question.

[China Daily reporter]: I’d like to ask questions about China and Japan. I have noticed that the number of tourists from China to Japan has increased considerably since the beginning of this year, Japanese exports to China have also increased significantly since the Diaoyu Islands crisis, and China’s investment in Japan has also increased substantially. Is it a trend that the economic and trade relations between China and Japan are picking up or rebounding? Thank you.

[Shen Danyang]: At present, Sino-Japanese trade does show some signs of recovery. With the economic stabilization of China and the promotion of consumption caused by Japanese tax increase, the domestic demand markets of the two countries have recovered, and the recent changes in the exchange rates of the two countries tend to be stable, the economic environment for cooperation between the two countries has improved compared with the previous period. However, from the perspective of policy factors, the continuous deterioration of political relations between the two countries will lead to the deterioration of the economic cooperation environment between the two countries, which may lead to the retrogression of economic and trade relations and affect the willingness of enterprises to cooperate. This kind of influence is obvious in investment cooperation, and it may play a driving role in trade through investment and have an impact on trade between the two countries, which will make the economic and trade circles of the two countries lose valuable opportunities for cooperation. In fact, according to the data just mentioned, there are opportunities for cooperation between the two countries in terms of the market. Due to political factors, the impact on economic and trade is not in the interests of both sides, and we do not want to see it. The responsibility is not on China. Thank you for your question.

[International Business Daily reporter]: We noticed that the online retail transaction volume in Chinese mainland in 2013 exceeded 1.85 trillion RMB, ranking first in the world. Excuse me, Director Shen, what has the Ministry of Commerce done to promote and standardize online shopping this year? What problems will be focused on in the next step?

[Shen Danyang]: In 2013, the online retail market reached 1.85 trillion yuan, surpassing the United States, and China has become the largest online retail market in the world. In 2013, the online retail transaction volume of 1.85 trillion yuan was equivalent to 7.8% of the total retail sales of social consumers. In the first five months of this year, online retail sales increased by about 32.5% year-on-year, and continued to maintain the momentum of rapid growth. As a new thing, online retailing is developing rapidly, but at the same time, there are some problems, such as online fraud, selling fake and shoddy goods, and abuse of personal privacy information, which are all phenomena that harm consumers’ interests. All sectors of society are concerned about these problems, which have the characteristics of cross-regional and cross-departmental, and need the cooperation and co-management of all levels and departments to effectively solve them.

Since the beginning of this year, in order to solve these problems, the Ministry of Commerce has focused on three tasks: First, cooperate with the NPC Financial and Economic Committee to draft the Electronic Commerce Law, and strive to make corresponding provisions in this law on how to clarify the responsibility of commodity quality control of e-commerce platforms, the burden of proof and compensation for online commodity quality disputes, the disclosure system of online commodity quality information, and the construction of credit management system under the network environment. Second, the formulation of urgently needed departmental rules and regulations, such as the Measures for the Administration of Trading Rules of Third-Party Platforms in Online Retail and the Measures for the Protection of Online Commercial Data, are being drafted. Third, we should carry out standardization research on the internal control system of e-commerce platform, and refer to the mature systems and effective practices of enterprises in key links such as business audit, information disclosure, customer evaluation and complaint handling, and prepare to raise them to industry standards and promote their implementation.

[CCTV Financial Channel reporter]: Recently, some foreign media said that the battle between Europe and China for solar energy production capacity is escalating. The European Union supported solar energy organizations to submit accusations against dozens of China photovoltaic enterprises to the European Commission, including allegations of large-scale circumvention in China and the lowest selling price agreement in Brussels. Excuse me, how will the Ministry of Commerce respond to this?

[Shen Danyang]: The photovoltaic price commitment between China and Europe is the result of the joint efforts of both governments and industries, and it is also a model for the two sides to successfully resolve trade frictions through consultation. In this regard, the China government and the industry cherish it very much.

It is understood that since the entry into force of the photovoltaic price commitment agreement, the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products and the European Commission have maintained close communication and contact, and regularly informed the investigation authorities of the implementation of the price commitment and submitted relevant materials. The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Appliances regularly informs the European side about the situation, and also regularly reports to the Ministry of Commerce of China about the implementation and supervision of price commitments. According to the chamber of commerce, there is no evidence that enterprises have violated the agreement to export.

The European Commission will send someone to China next month to check the price commitment of photovoltaic enterprises in China. The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Appliances and related enterprises have indicated that they will actively cooperate. If it is found that some enterprises do violate the agreement, China supports the corresponding treatment according to the agreement. At the same time, China opposes any act of smearing China enterprises with ulterior motives through the media.

The China-EU PV price agreement is hard-won, and China has always held a serious and responsible attitude towards the implementation and supervision of the commitments. China is willing to continue to work with the European side to jointly safeguard the smooth implementation of photovoltaic price commitments and truly achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

[China News Service reporter]: Ask a question about Sino-US trade friction. On June 3rd, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the preliminary results of photovoltaic, arguing that crystalline silicon photovoltaic products imported from China were subsidized. On the same day, united steelworkers union submitted an application to relevant U.S. departments, asking for a "double-reverse" investigation on cars and light truck tires exported from China to the United States. Will this move trigger a new round of Sino-US trade friction climax? Thank you.

[Shen Danyang]: Since the beginning of this year, the trade protection measures issued by the US to China are obviously an abuse of trade remedy measures, which is bound to escalate Sino-US PV trade disputes again. China believes that photovoltaic products, as one of the representative products of clean energy, have made important contributions to the sustainable development of mankind. In the past 10 years, thanks to the efficient cooperation under the global division of labor, the price of photovoltaic products has dropped significantly, and photovoltaic power generation is entering thousands of households, benefiting global welfare. What the US has done is not only damaging the interests of China’s photovoltaic enterprises, but also the healthy development of the global photovoltaic industry. In this regard, not only the China industry is strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed, but also the upstream and downstream industries of the domestic photovoltaic industry in the United States have raised doubts. Can frequent trade remedy measures solve the problem of the development of American photovoltaic industry itself? The facts are already there, and it is useless for the US to do so. In this case, it is better for the United States not to do or do less things that harm others and do no good to others, and sometimes even lift a rock to drop it on its own feet. In short, we hope that the US will handle the investigation carefully and terminate the investigation procedure as soon as possible. China will pay close attention to the progress of the case and reserve the right to take measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of China enterprises.

With regard to united steelworkers union’s application to start a "double-reverse" investigation on passenger cars and light truck tires in China, we would like to remind the US that it applied for a special safeguard investigation against China in 2009 for the same product, which caused serious negative impact and harm to Sino-US economic and trade relations. We hope that the US can learn from the 2009 tire special safeguard case, not abuse the relief investigation, and create a good atmosphere for trade cooperation in related industries between the two countries.

[Shen Danyang]: Today’s press conference is over. Thank you.

Invisible Spring Festival Traveler —— Approaching the post of silent dedication behind Spring Festival travel rush

  Xinhua News Agency "China Net" reporter Zhu Guoliang Lu Huadong Zhang Zhanpeng

  2017 Spring Festival travel rush officially kicked off on 13th. There is such a group of people who are not afraid of hardship, filth and loneliness. In their ordinary posts, they silently contribute their own strength to Spring Festival travel rush.

  Race against time "Water Dragon King"

  His name is Wan Dongzhou, and he is 59 years old. He is an ordinary Sheung Shui worker in the Sheung Shui Group of Nanjing Railway Station passenger workshop. Since joining the Sheung Shui Group in 1986, he has worn out a pair of liberation shoes on average in two months, and is affectionately called the "water dragon king" who can run best.

  "K1557 arrives at the station and is ready to go to the water." At 14: 23, an "order" to add water to the train came from the intercom. Upon hearing the order, Create immediately picked up gloves and greeted the other three workers to "run" to K1557.

  Although the Sheung Shui team is only 500 meters away from where the train stops, Create and his team still walk very fast. "K1557 only stops for 13 minutes. Except for the time spent on walking, pulling the water pipe, screwing the water tank and opening the gate, there is not much time left for us to add water. We must race against time." Wan Dongzhou said.

  Starting from the first carriage, Lao Wanyi walked all the way to insert the hose into the water injection port of the train, skillfully opened the gate and flushed the hose, and then turned back to pull out the hose after the water was filled. In less than 10 minutes, Create had filled all the water in four carriages.

  During his stay in Spring Festival travel rush, Create and his colleagues each had to add water to 50 trains and nearly 200 carriages every day, running back and forth for more than 40 kilometers. At the busiest time, trains came one after another, and Create didn’t even have time to stop for a drink.

  "On the track during the night shift in winter ‘ Through flow ’ Very big, when adding water, the ear hurts like a knife. " Create said that 40% of the people in their Sheung Shui group had frostbite in their ears. If it is raining and snowing, and the road is frozen, it is also common to "wrestle" at night.

  This year, Spring Festival travel rush is the last Spring Festival travel rush before Create retires, and he will continue to "run" for thousands of tourists in Qian Qian in this Spring Festival travel rush.

  A garbage porter who is not afraid of dirty and smelly

  At 14: 50, "Didi Didi", an electric car horn sounded from a small bungalow opposite the water adding group at Nanjing Station. The driver of the electric car is Li Mingde, the guide of the sanitary class in the equipment workshop of Nanjing Railway Station. He is telling his "old partner" Wu Lailin to collect garbage together with his "horn code".

  Hearing the horn, Wu Lailin trotted all the way, quickly got on Li Mingde’s electric car and began to collect garbage. After crossing a section of track in front of the yard, the electric car slowly drove onto the No.1 platform where the train stopped, while Wu Lailin kept getting off the bus and put the garbage bags that had just been dropped from the train into the electric car. Sometimes there were many garbage bags, and the driver Li Mingde would come down to help Lao Wu carry the garbage together.

  Because there are many people on the platform, in the process of collecting garbage, the battery car must drive slowly, and it has to stop when there are people in front, and then it can continue to move after the passengers pass. In this way, two people got off the train 30 times, and it took nearly 40 minutes to clean up the garbage of three trains.

  After the electric car returned to the garbage transfer station with "full load", Wu Lailin’s work did not end. He also has to unload the garbage bags from the car one by one. In this process, in addition to enduring the pungent stench, the garbage water flowing out of those garbage bags that are not tied tightly or punctured will be "poured" on the body from time to time.

  During Spring Festival travel rush, the trains passing Nanjing Station left an average of 24 tons of garbage every day. At the peak, cleaning staff like Lao Wu ran back and forth with the battery car for more than 30 times every day, loading and unloading more than 400 garbage bags. "It doesn’t matter if we are dirty and tired, as long as the passengers’ carriages are clean." Lao Wu said.

In 2025, Spring Festival travel rush’s "big exam" is coming! After New Year’s Eve is included in the statutory holiday, cross-regional personnel flow will reach a new high.

21st century business herald reporter sha li reports from Beijing. On the afternoon of January 8, the State Council held a press conference to introduce the situation and work arrangement of Spring Festival travel rush in 2025.

The reporter learned from the press conference that the Spring Festival travel rush in 2025 will last for 40 days from January 14th to February 22nd. Transportation and other departments predict that during the period of Spring Festival travel rush, the cross-regional mobility of the whole society will reach 9 billion passengers, and the passenger traffic of railways and civil aviation is expected to exceed 510 million passengers and 90 million passengers respectively, both reaching record highs. Self-driving travel will remain the dominant position, with an estimated 7.2 billion person-times, accounting for about 80% of the cross-regional flow of people in the whole society, and the peak of expressway traffic volume may reach a record high in a single day.

Li Chunlin, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the press conference that this year’s Spring Festival is earlier than in previous years, and there will be a superposition of students, workers, visiting relatives and tourists around the Spring Festival, with a high concentration. Urban agglomerations such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao and Chengdu-Chongqing are still the main concentration areas of passenger flow. Considering that the transportation in Spring Festival travel rush will be upgraded to full capacity in a short time, there is great pressure on ensuring smooth flow, safety, preventing bad weather and coordinating passenger and cargo transportation.

In this regard, Li Chunlin said that the National Development and Reform Commission, in conjunction with relevant departments, studied and planned as early as possible and comprehensively adopted a number of measures to meet the travel needs of residents, including increasing transportation capacity, guiding travel, ensuring smooth flow and optimizing services.

The railway sent 12.75 million passengers every day.

The starting time of Spring Festival travel rush in 2025 is 12 days earlier than that of Spring Festival travel rush in 2024, and the train tickets for Spring Festival travel rush have been put on sale. On the morning of January 8th, some netizens reported that the 12306 mobile APP could not log in normally, and "12306 crashed" rushed to Weibo for hot search. After emergency disposal by the technical team, the APP has resumed normal operation.

The reporter learned from the press conference that the number of passengers sent by railways in Spring Festival travel rush this year is expected to exceed 510 million, with an average of 12.75 million passengers per day, an increase of 5.5% compared with that in Spring Festival travel rush in 2024.

Zhu Wenzhong, head of China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. Passenger Transport Department, said at the press conference that the overall passenger flow of Spring Festival travel rush Railway will increase steadily in 2025; The passenger flow will still show obvious one-way characteristics, but the reverse passenger flow will further increase; In some periods and directions of peak passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush, such as from Guangzhou-Shenzhen area to Changsha, Wuhan and Chengdu-Chongqing before the Spring Festival, there is still a contradiction between traffic volume and transportation capacity.

In this regard, Zhu Wenzhong pointed out that China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. has made great efforts to increase the capacity in the direction of concentrated passenger flow in Spring Festival travel rush, make overall arrangements for trains in the direction of non-concentrated passenger flow, maintain the scale of ordinary passenger trains, and run public welfare "slow trains" and "rural revitalization" passenger trains. More than 14,000 passenger trains are arranged every day, which can add about 500,000 seats every day, and the passenger capacity increases by about 4% year-on-year.

Zhu Wenzhong further mentioned that before the Spring Festival, in areas with concentrated passenger flow such as Beijing, Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou and Guangzhou-Shenzhen, China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. arranged to operate 1,724 pairs of long-distance passenger trains every day, an increase of 64 pairs year-on-year; At the peak of passenger flow, 329 pairs of long-distance high-speed trains were arranged at night, an increase of 38 pairs over the same period of last year. After the Spring Festival, 871 pairs of long-distance passenger trains were arranged daily in Chengdu-Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanchang, Hunan and other areas with concentrated passenger flow, an increase of 46 pairs year-on-year; At the peak of passenger flow, 170 pairs of long-distance high-speed trains were arranged at night, an increase of 31 pairs.

Zhu Wenzhong pointed out that according to the travel needs of passengers, China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd. has continuously improved its service measures, such as optimizing the functions of the 12306 system, scientifically formulating ticketing strategies, optimizing the pre-filling function of ticketing information, increasing the ticketing services for students and migrant workers, and ensuring the travel of key groups.

Self-driving travel accounts for about 80%

This year, the cross-regional mobility of people in Spring Festival travel rush is expected to hit a new record high, of which 80% will pass through expressways and ordinary national and provincial highways, making self-driving travel more prominent, which may form a travel peak.

In this regard, Wang Qiang, director of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said at the press conference that in order to ensure residents’ travel during Spring Festival travel rush, the Ministry of Public Security has started relevant work and made a series of arrangements, especially for passenger and cargo transportation, self-driving travel and other traffic safety issues. Specifically includes the following aspects.

The first is to comprehensively investigate and manage potential safety hazards. The Ministry of Public Security has deployed and launched a nationwide public security system to prevent production safety risks, and jointly with relevant departments, comprehensively investigated the traffic safety hazards of people, vehicles, roads and enterprises, prohibited unqualified vehicles and unqualified drivers from participating in Spring Festival travel rush, and promoted the hidden dangers management of bridges and tunnels, sharp bends and steep slopes, water and cliffs, highway entrances and exits and accident-prone points. At the same time, the Ministry of Public Security has also deployed targeted traffic management measures for the peak hours of road traffic, such as from off-year to New Year’s Eve in 2025, visiting relatives and visiting the garden during the Spring Festival holiday, and returning home after the Spring Festival holiday.

Second, the whole police mobilized to escort Spring Festival travel rush safely. During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, local public security traffic control departments will set up traffic police law enforcement stations at busy traffic points, and put police force and emergency disposal equipment on the road to the maximum extent. The national traffic police auxiliary police will focus on key time periods, key road sections and key vehicles, strictly investigate traffic violations that are easy to cause trouble and disrupt traffic order, and make every effort to ensure safe and smooth road traffic.

The third is to provide maximum security for safe travel services. During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, especially during the peak hours of concentrated travel, the public security traffic police will rely on various media, as well as new means and applications such as dual micro platforms and map navigation, and timely release information such as road information, traffic guidance and safety tips to guide residents to cooperate with the road guidance.

During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, many residents also chose new energy vehicles to travel by car. In this regard, Gao Bo, head of the Transportation Service Department of the Ministry of Transport, said that by the end of November 2024, the national expressway service areas (including parking areas) had built a total of 33,100 charging piles and 49,300 charging parking spaces, and the proportion of expressway service areas with charging facilities had increased from 85% at the end of 2023 to 97%. Except for a few high-altitude service areas, it has basically achieved full coverage.
