In addition, China has realized the electronization of trademark certificates to meet the application needs of mutual recognition of electronic certificates throughout the country. Strengthen the sharing of enterprise registration data and trademark registration data, and realize the synchronous acceptance and collaborative processing of enterprise change registration and trademark change application in many places.

China National Intellectual Property Administration: In the first half of the year, the intellectual property business developed steadily.

In addition, China National Intellectual Property Administration introduced on the 29th that in the first half of the year, China’s intellectual property industry developed steadily.

In the first half of this year, China authorized 554,000 invention patents, a year-on-year increase of 28.0%; There were 2.463 million registered trademarks, a year-on-year increase of 22.0%.

Ge Shu, deputy director of China National Intellectual Property Administration Patent Office, said: "The number of patent transfer licenses nationwide reached 252,000, up 35.2% year-on-year. The registered amount of patent and trademark pledge financing reached 419.9 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 57%, benefiting more than 20,000 enterprises. "

In addition, China issued the Implementation Plan for the Construction Project of Intellectual Property Protection System, with protection centers and fast rights protection centers covering 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and handled 21,000 administrative cases of patent infringement disputes in the first half of the year, and the protection of intellectual property rights continued to increase.

A few years ago, there was a movie called Shopaholic, which told the story of several people who were addicted to shopping. When they saw their favorite items, they couldn’t stop, even if they owed huge credit card debts, they had to take them home. Such people are called shopaholic in English. By analogy, then the "chatter" we are talking about today is talkaholic.

Talkaholic is a person who takes great pleasure in talking. A talkaholic has trouble keeping quiet and listening when other people are around.

Talkaholic refers to someone who likes talking and enjoys it, which is what we call "chattering" Generally, when others are present, it is difficult to talk without listening to others.

Similar words like workaholic and shopaholic are all ended with the same suffix -aholic, which means of an obsessive interest in something.

Both Workaholic and shopaholic, like talkaholic, have the suffix -aholic, which means they are extremely interested in or addicted to something.

For example:

Jane was a talkaholic who gave everyone her opinion whether they asked for it or not.

Jane is a chatty talker. She always gives her opinion whether others want to listen or not.

Pacific science and technology informationOn August 22nd, Apple’s marketing team did an excellent job in promoting the advantages of its products and chips, even if it meant misleading consumers into believing that they were actually investing in cutting-edge products. Previously, the market generally thought that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were equipped with A16 bionic chips manufactured by TSMC in a 4-nanometer process. However, a person familiar with the matter overturned this view. He revealed that Apple internally marked this chip as a 5-nanometer chip, instead of the expected 4 nanometers.

The whistleblower further confirmed that A16 bionic chip was labeled as a 5-nanometer chip inside Apple. This may explain why Apple mentioned in the press release that the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips in the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are mass-produced on the 5-nanometer process instead of the 4-nanometer process.

On the other hand, Apple’s next-generation A17 bionic chip is determined to adopt TSMC’s most advanced 3 nm process. Due to the transition from 5 nm to 3 nm, the performance leap between A16 and A17 will be huge. It is reported that in the previous benchmark test, compared with the previous generation, A17 bionic chip has improved as much as 31% in single-core and multi-core results.

It is worth noting that this latest news makes the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max more attractive, because both phones will be equipped with A17 bionic chips. However, the relatively low-priced iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus may use A16 bionic chip.

However, this has also triggered netizens’ speculation, whether A17 is just another product promoted by Apple’s comprehensive marketing promotion, or whether the customized chip is actually designed and mass-produced on a brand-new architecture. Some netizens claimed that TSMC’s 3-nanometer process may only reduce the 5-nanometer nodes, and the real 3-nanometer process should adopt N3E technology. So far, we are disappointed that A16 is not a 4nm component, but this is not surprising, because the company always follows this practice.

In this era of information explosion, the star’s every move is closely watched. Recently, Wang Baoqiang has once again become the focus, and has been involved in the whirlpool of public opinion because of its charity storm and the subsequent’ fraud door’. Why did this actor, who was once considered to be the most human in the entertainment circle, fall into so many controversies? This article will take you to explore the ins and outs of this incident, and let us unveil the truth together.

First, a wonderful beginning: Wang Baoqiang’s "roller coaster" life

Wang Baoqiang’s career is full of ups and downs and glory. From an ordinary farmer to today’s "Billion Film Emperor", he has won numerous applause with his strength. However, in just a few months, he seems to be on the "roller coaster" in the entertainment industry. In October, the news about the collapse of his charity was shocking; Then, in November, there was a "fraud door" with an amount as high as 100 million, which was unbelievable. This series of events seems to imply that Wang Baoqiang is experiencing an unprecedented crisis in the entertainment circle.

Second, the charity storm: people set the fuse for collapse

The cause of the incident originated on October 28th, when a well-known entertainment story revealed that Wang Baoqiang was suspected of charity fraud during the filming of The Octagonal Cage, saying that his image was actually hypocritical. The "little actor"’ s careless complaint quickly triggered a hot discussion among netizens. He not only described the hard life during the filming, but also claimed that Wang Baoqiang’s promise to support school was not fulfilled. For a time, Wang Baoqiang’s "charity design" was hit hard, and many netizens questioned it.

Third, reverse the plot: reveal the true intention of Wang Baoqiang.

With the development of the incident, more truths gradually surfaced. Netizens took the initiative to refute rumors and revealed Wang Baoqiang’s promise to the little actor after the filming. He not only paid 150,000 yuan for each young actor, but also promised to help them finish their studies. Obviously, the opposition did not completely overthrow the true image of Wang Baoqiang, but made things dramatically reversed. More netizens suggested that the careless complaint was not credible, because he already had a considerable economic base, and there were many luxuries in his social account.

Fourth, characterization: Wang Baoqiang’s truth and emotion.

In the entertainment circle, Wang Baoqiang’s truthfulness and simplicity are one of the reasons why he attracts many supporters. Even in the process of his ex-wife Ma Rong absconding with money, Wang Baoqiang still showed his indomitable personality, which made many people feel sympathy for him. In this storm, many supporters have come forward to speak for him, thinking that he has always been a trustworthy person. The hardships of Wang Baoqiang’s childhood life and the story of realizing his dream through hard work later made his image deeply rooted in the minds of many audiences.

V. Fashion and Trend: The Unknown Side of Wang Baoqiang

Although Wang Baoqiang’s recent negative news has dominated the limelight, his performance in the fashion world should not be underestimated. What Wang Baoqiang wears in public often reflects his love for life and his unique understanding of fashion. In the recent red carpet activities, he appeared in a simple but stylish suit and won wide acclaim at the scene. Whether you choose classic black and white collocation or try trendy accessories, Wang Baoqiang can always give people a bright feeling. His fashion concept may not be understood by everyone, but this uniqueness makes him stand out among many stars.

Vi. Hot discussion on social media: the interaction between fans and the public

With the popularity of social media, the interaction between stars and fans has become more frequent. On Wang Baoqiang’s social platform, fans have expressed their views on his events, and the debate between supporters and opponents seems to be endless. Many netizens share their opinions in the comment area, which makes the topic more heated by the coexistence of humor and rationality. It is this kind of interaction that strengthens the connection between Wang Baoqiang and his fans, and also makes this storm the focus of hot discussion on the Internet.

Seven, multi-angle analysis: the opinions of experts and the reactions of ordinary audiences.

For this incident, many industry experts have expressed their views. Some film critics pointed out that the gradual collapse of Wang Baoqiang was not accidental, but the result of the changeable entertainment style and complicated public opinion environment. They believe that once the image of public figures is deeply excavated, it may be greatly reversed. The general audience’s reaction to this incident was polarized. Some viewers said they no longer believed in Wang Baoqiang, while others thought it was just a misunderstanding and needed to give Wang Baoqiang support and understanding.

Eight, the future direction of the event: the story to be continued

Although Wang Baoqiang is facing severe public opinion challenges at present, from the feedback of all parties, things may not have reached the end. With the further development of related events, it will take time to test whether Wang Baoqiang’s personnel structure can be reshaped. No matter how this matter develops, every journey Wang Baoqiang has experienced tells us that the story behind the stars is often more complicated than the characters on the screen.

Generally speaking, this incident in Wang Baoqiang reveals the difficulty and complexity behind the glamorous appearance of the entertainment circle. The construction of a star’s personality requires both talent and hard work, but also persistence and truthfulness. We expect Wang Baoqiang to continue to bring more wonderful works to the audience after the storm, and hope to show a more authentic self in the process.

　　Core reading

　　In order to adapt to the new situation that the relationship between supply and demand in China’s real estate market has undergone major changes, recently, many places and departments have issued intensive documents to adjust and optimize real estate policies in a timely manner, which will better meet the rigid and improved housing needs of residents, and will also have a favorable impact on expanding consumption, stimulating investment and stabilizing economic growth.

　　On August 30th, Guangzhou City and Shenzhen City of Guangdong Province successively announced the implementation of the policy of "recognizing houses but not loans". On September 1, Shanghai and Beijing also announced the implementation of this policy.

　　On August 31st, the People’s Bank of China and the State Financial Supervision and Administration jointly issued a notice, which unified the minimum down payment ratio of the first and second sets of commercial personal housing loans to be no less than 20% and 30%. At the same time, reduce the interest rate of the first home loan in stock.

　　Experts pointed out that in recent days, many departments have issued intensive documents, adjusted and optimized real estate policies in a timely manner, and released positive signals to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

　　The policy plays a "combination boxing" to better meet the rigid and improved housing needs of residents.

　　The policy of "recognizing the house but not the loan" is clear. When households (including borrowers, spouses and minor children) apply for loans to buy commercial housing, if family members do not have a complete set of housing in the local name, banking financial institutions will implement the housing credit policy according to the first set of housing, regardless of whether they have used loans to buy housing.

　　"For families who need to change rooms, in ‘ Admit the house but not the loan ’ Under the policy, houses can be exchanged at a lower down payment ratio and a more favorable loan interest rate, and the preferential period of personal income tax rebate for residents to purchase houses has also been extended. These policies will help reduce the cost of buying houses and release the demand for changing houses. " Pu Zhan, deputy director of the Policy Research Center of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, introduced.

　　Jiang Nan has worked in Guangzhou for more than 10 years. In 2015, just before she got married, she first bought a wedding room in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, and rented it out after simple decoration, while she rented a house in Guangzhou. In the past two years, seeing that the children have reached the age of going to school, the desire of Jiang Nan and his wife to buy a suite in Guangzhou has become stronger and stronger.

　　"I saw more than a dozen sets of second-hand houses, and I was satisfied. Almost all of them cost more than 6 million yuan. Before that suite in Foshan also had a loan, now I want to buy this suite, with a down payment of 40% and a loan interest rate of 4.8%. " Jiang Nan said that according to the new policy of "recognizing the house and not recognizing the loan", the down payment is only 30%, and the down payment is less than 10%, which is more than 600,000 yuan; Moreover, the loan interest rate enjoys 4.2% of the first suite interest rate, and the monthly supply burden can also be reduced a lot.

　　Ms. Huang, a citizen of Shenzhen, also expressed a similar idea: "We have always wanted to change a bigger house and improve our living conditions. However, if it is identified as a second suite, the down payment ratio is high and it is difficult to bear. After the introduction of the New Deal, the pressure is much smaller. "

　　Gao Yuan, president of Beijing Chain Home Research Institute, believes that "recognizing houses but not loans" mainly benefits new citizens and improved groups in Beijing. In terms of new citizens, it is more common that they have no house in Beijing, but they have had a credit record of buying a house in other places. Under the original standard, they have to pay 60% (ordinary house) or 80% (non-ordinary house) down payment for buying a house in Beijing; In terms of improved groups, it is beneficial to "sell one and buy one" to improve the replacement groups. Due to factors such as family structure changes, child care and old-age care, nearly 70% of buyers in the current Beijing residential market belong to improved demand.

　　What is the market reaction after the introduction of policies such as "recognizing houses but not loans"? Lou Chunlei, manager of an active regional store in Chaoyang District, Beijing Chain Home, told reporters that after Beijing announced the policy, we received many customers’ consultation calls one after another. In the first two months, the number of online consultations was generally more than 20, and this weekend it increased to more than 60, and the number of regional listings was also active. "The price of the target room type of our improved customers is mostly between 8 million yuan and 10 million yuan. Before looking at the house, considering that 80% of the down payment for the second suite was hesitant, now the policy has landed, and many customers have chosen to list the property to obtain the first set of qualifications. " Yan Chunlei said.

　　According to the data provided by RealData, the average daily turnover of second-hand houses in Guangzhou and Shenzhen increased by 25% and 70% respectively from August 30 to 31, compared with last week (August 21 to 27), and the number of customers taking care of them also increased rapidly.

　　Not only the policy of "recognizing the house but not the loan", but also the policies of adjusting and optimizing differentiated housing credit and reducing the interest rate of the first home loan in stock will also help to better meet the demand for rigid and improved housing.

　　According to the relevant persons in charge of the People’s Bank of China and the General Administration of Financial Supervision, the key points of the adjustment and optimization of differentiated housing credit policy include two aspects: First, unify the lower limit of the national minimum down payment ratio policy for commercial individual housing loans. No longer distinguish between cities that implement "restricted purchases" and cities that do not implement "restricted purchases", and the lower limit of the minimum down payment ratio of commercial personal housing loans for the first home and the second home is unified to not less than 20% and 30%. The second is to adjust the lower limit of the second set of housing interest rate policy to not less than the loan market quotation rate (LPR) of the corresponding term plus 20 basis points. The lower limit of the first set of housing interest rate policy is still not less than the corresponding period LPR minus 20 basis points. All localities can independently determine the minimum down payment ratio and the lower interest rate limit of the first and second houses within their jurisdiction according to the principle of city-specific policies and the local real estate market situation and regulatory needs.

　　The real estate market as a whole has turned into a buyer’s market where supply exceeds demand.

　　The real estate chain is long and involves a wide range, which can be said to lead the whole body.

　　In the second quarter of this year, affected by the macro-environment, residents’ ability and willingness to buy houses declined, and the recovery of buying houses as a bulk consumption lagged behind, and the growth rate of real estate market turnover slowed down. From January to July, the sales area of commercial housing was 665.63 million square meters, a year-on-year decrease of 6.5%; The newly started housing area was 569.69 million square meters, down by 24.5%.

　　On July 24th, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting and pointed out that it is necessary to effectively prevent and resolve risks in key areas, adapt to the new situation that the supply and demand relationship in China’s real estate market has undergone major changes, adjust and optimize real estate policies in a timely manner, and make good use of the policy toolbox to better meet the rigid and improved housing needs of residents and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

　　Yu Xiaofen, Dean of China Institute of Housing and Real Estate, Zhejiang University of Technology, analyzed that the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market has undergone major changes, mainly in three aspects: First, it has shifted from the seller’s market to the buyer’s market. After more than 20 years of large-scale development, the per capita housing construction area of urban residents in China has exceeded 41 square meters in 2022. Due to the negative growth of superimposed population and the middle and late stage of urbanization, the market as a whole has turned into a buyer’s market with oversupply, especially in small and medium-sized cities, where the inventory of commercial housing is large and the cycle of de-melting is long. The second is to shift from an incremental market to a stock-based market. In many cities, the growth rate of stock housing transactions is faster than that of new commercial housing sales, and the turnover of second-hand houses in some cities has exceeded that of new houses. Third, the proportion of existing home sales has steadily increased from auction sales to existing home sales.

　　"Adapting to the new situation that the relationship between supply and demand in China’s real estate market has undergone major changes, the implementation of a series of policies and measures in recent days can not only better meet the rigid and improving needs of residents, but also have great significance for expanding consumption, stimulating investment and stabilizing economic growth." Yan Xiaofen believes.

　　Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Zhaolian, said that according to relevant calculations, the average decline in the interest rate of the first home loan was about 80 basis points. Take the stock mortgage with a term of 1 million yuan, 25 years and the original interest rate of 5.1% as an example. Assuming that the mortgage interest rate is reduced to 4.3%, the borrower’s repayment expenditure can be saved by more than 5,000 yuan per year, which will help reduce the housing consumption burden and increase the consumption and investment capacity of residents.

　　To promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, we need to be patient in many ways.

　　Experts interviewed said that the current timely adjustment and optimization of real estate policies has opened the market expectation window. In the short term, just-needed and improved demand will be concentrated in the market, and the market transaction volume may increase significantly before the end of the year. However, as a whole, the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market has changed greatly, and it is greatly influenced by the macro environment. To look at the development of the real estate market with a more rational attitude, we must have both confidence and patience.

　　"When the overall development of the market slows down, the positive side will be particularly noticeable. For example, some markets will be more resilient and new business opportunities will emerge." Yu Liang, Chairman of Vanke’s Board of Directors, believes that the urbanization rate in China is about 65% at present, and it is expected to reach 70% in 2030, and the urban population will increase to about 980 million. According to the construction experience, it is conservatively estimated that the newly started real estate area of 1 billion to 1.2 billion square meters in the future is guaranteed.

　　Yu Liang said that according to the experience of London, Tokyo and other cities, the population will continue to concentrate in cities that can create jobs. Even after the market is fully mature, there will still be a large number of urban renewal projects in the central city to enhance the development vitality of traditional areas and meet the needs of job-residence balance. In addition, the construction of affordable rental housing, the renovation of villages in cities, and the construction and operation of real estate agents will also be important business growth areas in the future.

　　"The current policy is already exerting strength. I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, as the economic operation continues to improve and the expectations for the future gradually stabilize, the market will return to a healthy and reasonable level." Yu Liang said.

　　Yan Xiaofen believes that in the medium and long term, to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, we need to focus on both supply and demand: stabilize the market scale by accelerating the start of urban renewal and urban village transformation; By lowering the mortgage interest rate and expanding the coverage of housing provident fund, we will strive to improve the housing consumption capacity, relax the purchase restriction in big cities or districts where the relationship between housing supply and demand has undergone major changes, and stabilize market demand; By comprehensively promoting the "mortgage transfer" of second-hand houses, reducing transaction deed tax and reasonably reducing real estate agency fees, we will encourage trade-in and promote a virtuous circle of the market; Support high-quality state-owned housing enterprises and high-quality private housing enterprises equally, appropriately relax the restrictions on development conditions and stabilize real estate enterprises.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that we will continue to focus on increasing confidence, preventing risks and promoting transformation to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. Because of the city’s policy and precise policy, we will vigorously support the demand for rigid and improved housing, solidly promote the work of ensuring the people’s livelihood and stability, resolve the risk of corporate capital chain breakage, strive to improve quality, build a good house, rectify the order of the real estate market, and let the people buy houses and rent houses with confidence.

　　Recently, cold air strikes frequently, the north is getting colder and colder, and the south is also "autumn overnight". On weekends this week, the lowest temperature in Wuhan may come to single digits, only 9℃! Imagine that in just a few days, from summer to autumn, and then to winter, the cold air in season is "delivered" one after another. It is really a season, from short sleeves to windbreakers to cotton-padded clothes, and friends have to change their clothes quickly.

　　However, as the saying goes, "Spring covers autumn, and no miscellaneous diseases are born". Proper freezing will help the body gradually adapt to the cold and improve the body’s disease resistance. Can everyone "freeze in autumn"? When is the best time to add clothes? Xiao Qiming, chief physician of respiratory medicine of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Sun Qiwei, deputy chief physician of the Center for Prevention of Diseases of Xiyuan Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Wang Xiao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology of Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, will teach you to get cold scientifically without getting sick.

　　Why is freezing healthier in autumn?

　　Spring is born, summer grows, autumn harvest and winter storage, and man and nature are integrated. When I go to Qiu Lai in summer, the sun’s spirit gradually converges and the temperature gradually drops, which is a transitional stage from hot to cold. Although the temperature begins to drop, if you put on a thick cotton-padded coat too early, you will not be able to exercise against cold air, which will reduce your cold-proof ability and is not conducive to the self-regulation of human resistance. In the really cold season, once the nose and trachea are attacked by cold air, the blood vessels inside shrink because they can’t resist, which reduces the blood flow and weakens the antibacterial ability. Bacteria hiding in the nose or trachea take the opportunity to move, causing symptoms such as cough, sneezing, runny nose and fever, which makes people sick.

　　Therefore, it is necessary to freeze properly in autumn and gradually improve the body’s ability to resist cold and disease. This is a subtle exercise that can improve people’s physique invisibly. On the other hand, autumn is the season of nourishing yin. If you wear too much clothes and cover them too hot, it will encourage yang spirit, which is not good for maintaining the balance of yin and yang, and will also cause diseases.

　　Therefore, when the temperature is a little cold in autumn, don’t add clothes too early and too much, so that your body will feel a little cold, gradually adapt to the cold, improve your disease resistance, and it is healthy to "freeze" your body properly.

　　Boundary of autumn freezing temperature: 15℃

　　Autumn freezing is good for health, but when there is strong cold air activity and the temperature drops sharply, we should add clothes to keep warm in time and properly. At this time, if we insist on "autumn freezing" blindly, it will be counterproductive. China has a vast territory, and the process of entering autumn is inconsistent in different places. Under what circumstances should we add clothes?

　　The answer given by experts is: Take 15℃ as the standard, if the temperature drops below 15℃ in autumn and lasts for more than two weeks, you can put on clothes for autumn and winter.

　　In addition, scientific autumn freezing has three principles:

　　When the temperature drops slightly, healthy people can not wear thick clothes immediately, but add clothes and pants as late as possible or gradually to enhance their adaptability to the temperature drop.

　　Old people, children or people who are physically weak should not blindly pursue autumn freezing, but should "stop the heat" to avoid the hot air spreading outside, the yang spreading outside and the wind evil entering the body.

　　When the temperature drops sharply, you should not blindly pursue autumn freezing, otherwise you will get sick easily.

　　Four types of people can’t stand the autumn freeze.

　　Autumn freezing is not suitable for everyone. The following groups of people are more vulnerable to cold than the average person. It is best to add clothes in time according to the temperature and physical feeling.

　　A frail old man

　　There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in season change, which is the high incidence season of upper respiratory tract infections such as influenza. The respiratory muscles, diaphragm and ligaments of the elderly are atrophied, the elasticity of lungs and trachea is weakened, and the respiratory function is reduced. It is easier to catch a cold if clothes are not added in time.

　　Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

　　After being stimulated by cold, the capillaries of the whole body contract, the peripheral resistance of blood circulation increases, and the blood pressure is higher than that in summer. Cold stimulation will make the myocardial ischemia and hypoxia that have already been diseased more serious. People with cardiovascular diseases should add coats in time to keep their chests warm to avoid myocardial infarction; In the past, elderly people with multiple cerebral infarction, cerebrovascular malformation or stenosis should pay attention to keeping their heads warm to avoid aggravating or inducing stroke.

　　Patients with rheumatism or rheumatoid diseases

　　Arthritis patients often feel pain and heaviness in their legs when the weather is cold. It is suggested to wear warm knee pads on their legs to ensure the stability of the knee joint and promote blood circulation.

　　diabetic

　　Diabetic patients have poor local blood supply, and their blood vessels are stimulated by cold air, which is prone to vasospasm, further reducing the blood supply to muscle tissue and aggravating local numbness of hands and feet and low back pain. When the weather changes greatly, the elderly with "three highs" should strengthen the monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid, and pay attention to the changes of their condition at any time.

　　Don’t freeze these parts of your body.

　　Head and neck: There are abundant nerves and capillaries in the head and neck. Autumn wind attacks easily lead to vasoconstriction of the head and neck, which is not conducive to blood supply to the brain, and it is also easy to cause a cold with lung symptoms.

　　Shoulder: The tissues around the shoulder joint are relatively fragile. After a long cold, it is easy to be attacked by "wind, cold and dampness", which will cause shoulder pain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that scapulohumeral periarthritis is caused by cold in the shoulder, and the chest and shoulder joints are stiff after illness, which seems to be frozen, so it is called "frozen shoulder" and "shoulder coagulation". Sometimes the pain will spread to the arms and hands, and even the pain is unbearable.

　　Abdomen: There are many organs in the abdomen, and many important meridians pass through, such as spleen and stomach meridians and liver and kidney meridians. Renchong and Du meridians start in the abdominal cavity. Cold and cold qi is also easy to invade the human body from the abdomen. Being cold here will cause stagnation of qi and blood in the abdominal meridians, such as stimulating the intestine and causing diarrhea; People with a history of stomach trouble are prone to stomach pain; Women who catch cold in the lower abdomen are easy to induce dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. The belly button part is the longevity hole of the human body, so it should be protected.

　　Feet: "Cold comes from the feet", the feet are the parts of the whole body that are most afraid of cold, and the meridians of the kidney and spleen and stomach all originate from the feet. However, because the feet are farthest from the heart, the blood flows the longest "distance". If the feet are cold, the blood flow will be stagnant, and the blood supply in the whole body will be insufficient, which will easily cause the capillaries in the relevant parts to contract, and the pathogenic factors will easily take advantage of it to enter the organ function and then be damaged. Soaking feet with hot water can relax muscles and promote blood circulation, generally at a water temperature of about 40 degrees Celsius (not hot).

　　Excessive fear of cold

　　It’s the body calling for help.

　　Our bodies can quickly perceive the warmth and coldness of the surrounding environment, and protect our bodies from physical injuries caused by excessive cold and overheating. If you are more afraid of the cold than the average person, or you are still afraid of the cold when you wear a lot of clothes, it may be that your body is "calling for help".

　　The stomach is afraid of cold — — cold syndrome of the stomach

　　Eating a little cold food and drinking some green tea will make you feel bloating and stomachache, which may be related to overeating and getting cold in the stomach. If it happens repeatedly, it may be a sign of spleen and stomach weakness and yang deficiency.

　　Tips: Try to choose ingredients that are mild in taste and beneficial to qi, such as longan meat, medlar, jujube, etc., and avoid cold, wet and greasy foods.

　　Legs are afraid of cold — — chronic rheumatism in the leg

　　In addition to being affected by cold and humid environment, "old cold legs" have a common cause — — Joint, ligament and muscle strain are mostly caused by long-term physical labor, improper walking posture, aging and other reasons.

　　Tips: Moxibustion can be applied to the points around the knee joint, such as Zusanli and Dubi, every time for 5-mdash; Ten minutes.

　　The waist is afraid of cold — — Strain or disc herniation

　　Cold and dampness blocking the waist can lead to cold waist. Waist injury, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, etc., lead to the obstruction of yang qi operation, but also show that the waist is afraid of cold.

　　Tips: Lumbago can be used for hot compress on the waist; Morning is the time when the body’s yang is gradually filled with the weather, which can increase outdoor activities; You can practice Wuqinxi, Baduanjin and Tai Ji Chuan at ordinary times.

　　Cold hands and feet — — Yang deficiency

　　Cold hands and feet are more common in people who have been dieting for a long time or have bad eating habits, which is mainly caused by the lack of nutrients and the lack of material basis for yang. If you don’t pay attention to it, your physical fitness will further decline, leading to more serious problems.

　　Tips: Chinese medicine believes that "movement leads to yang". Usually, you should pay attention to exercise, get more sunshine, and eat regularly for three meals a day. You can add 15 grams of safflower and 30 grams of Artemisia argyi to soak your feet before going to bed to promote blood circulation and dispel cold.

　　Comprehensive Life Times and The Paper reported.

From the perspective of game theory and information economics, involution and lying flat are two sides of the same problem.

First, from eating Chili peppers

So that’s it | How many peppers are you going to eat? The article "Analysis from the Perspective of Nobel Prize Winners in Economics" (2023-12-04, Surging Business School) tells a story: Zhang San, a new classmate in the class, is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Zhang San, who just arrived, doesn’t understand the character of his classmates, but he knows that people’s behavior will expose their personality traits. In particular, Zhang San believes that people who eat Chili peppers usually tend to be tough. The next morning, you and Li Si, who usually don’t eat Chili, eat noodles together, and there is a bowl of chopped millet spicy on the table. It’s a coincidence that Zhang Sany, who is bullying and afraid of bullying, is sitting opposite you two. At this time, both you and Li Si need to make a choice: Do you want to add Xiaomi spicy to your bowl of noodles? How much more?

At that time, the thought experiment we did was: it is meaningless to pretend to be tough and add millet spicy to your bowl because Li Si around you will put more peppers than usual in order to send a strong signal to Zhang San until the amount of peppers makes you unbearable. In this way, it is meaningless for you to eat spicy food. So, the final result-Li Si ate "too much" pepper, and you chose not to eat it.

The reason for this result is that there is a typical information asymmetry problem here. Both you and Li Si know their own personality traits, but for Zhang San, this is his information blind spot. Therefore, eating Chili peppers is not only a consumption behavior that increases utility, but also a signal sending mechanism to release his personality traits to Zhang San, who is at an information disadvantage.

If Wang Wu, a classmate who had breakfast with you this morning, usually eats a little pepper, so he is more spicy than you, then Li Si will have to put more peppers.

If a group of classmates like Li Si who are usually addicted to spicy food come at this time, and everyone has learned that Zhang San’s habit is to stop bullying others after finding someone to bully. It is conceivable that there may be a fierce competition about eating spicy food between Li Si and other students who are fond of spicy food. These always spicy people will also secretly scold in their hearts: "It’s too curly."

If the rice spicy on the dining table is replaced by the less spicy Hangzhou pepper, then Li Si may be forced to eat more peppers. So we can say that they "rolled up" even more in the dimension of the amount of peppers they ate.

If there is an involution, there must be a flat one. At this time, you and those students who can’t eat spicy food will definitely choose to stay out of it, while leisurely eating breakfast with the same taste as usual, while watching those students who can eat spicy food "roll" into a ball. You are the so-called "flat" people.

If we first regard Chili as a degree or diploma, and then regard the diploma as a signal that job seekers send to their employers about their own abilities in the labor market, just like spence, the Nobel Prize winner, it is not difficult to understand why the current education field with strong exam-oriented color is involved in all kinds of jaw-dropping strange phenomena.

Second, where did the "volume" come from?

What people usually call involution refers to a special competitive state. The above logic about signaling is not enough to fully explain the involution. In other words, information asymmetry does not constitute a sufficient condition for "involution". In fact, it does not constitute a necessary condition.

So, what is the root of involution?

The root of involution lies in three interrelated basic characteristics of the competitive pattern: first, resources are highly scarce; Second, the track is single; Third, the system is closed.

Look at the scarcity of resources first.In human society, scarcity and competition are synonymous. The higher the scarcity of a resource, the higher its market value, and the fiercer the competition around it. Conversely, the fierce competition in a certain field must mean that there are very scarce resources in this field.

If Zhang San’s so-called "bullying the weak and being afraid of the hard" is actually harmless, but it is only manifested in the size of Zhang San’s voice in daily life, then people like Li Si will lose more by eating too much Chili, so the "involution" around eating Chili will disappear.

Look at the single track.The essence of single track is that the competition around scarce resources has a single dimension. For example, in the above example, an important assumption is potentially implied: the only way to send a signal to Zhang San is to eat Chili peppers. If there are other channels to send signals, such as the size of biceps brachii, the strength of organizational leadership, the atmosphere during the debate, the style of playing cards and chess, the amount of alcohol, the amount of food, etc., then the competition in the dimension of eating peppers will tend to ease.

The above-mentioned resources are highly scarce and the competition pattern of the track is single, which is often accompanied by another remarkable feature: the system is closed. In fact, the reason why it is called "inner" volume is that the system is closed.

The English for "inner volume" is involve. Directly observing the prefix and root of this word, it is easy to remind us of an old saying: "Dojo is made in the snail shell." The prefix in- of Involve means inward, while the root volv stands for "turning and rolling".

Conversely, if it is an open system, the competition between different individuals will naturally not turn inward, but develop outward. The corresponding English is evolve. Its root is the same as involve, except that the prefix is changed to "e-" which means "outward" or "external". The word means "evolution". It is not difficult to understand that on the blue planet where we live, the evolution of organisms presents increasingly complex and diverse characteristics, and the root cause lies in the fact that the biological system is an open competitive system.

3. Roll inward or outward?

The "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly regards "domestic and international double circulation promoting each other" as the basic feature of the new development pattern, which actually reflects the importance of openness to the economic system. Economic system is a typical competitive system.

Traditional farming civilization, as Mr. Fei Xiaotong said, the whole society is divided into small communities. These small communities are formed on the basis of blood and geography, and the relationship between them is isolated and separated. The traditional society based on this closed small community has not surprisingly caused fierce involution, and the whole society has been trapped in the Malthusian trap for thousands of years. Once the economy turned from closed to open, in just a few decades, China’s economic structure and development level have undergone earth-shaking changes.

A study just completed by our research team is also related to this.

Since the reform and opening up, the traffic conditions in the Yangtze River Delta region have been constantly improving, and the traffic from central cities to Shanghai has naturally become more and more convenient.

An easy-to-ignore problem is that this improvement does not naturally mean good for the cities around Shanghai. The reason is intuitive: the transportation to a megacity like Shanghai is more convenient, which not only facilitates the gathering of various resources locally, but also provides convenience for megacities to siphon local resources and economic opportunities. In the latter case, it is often said that megacities have a "siphon effect" on surrounding cities. The former situation corresponds to the positive "radiation" effect of megacities on the surrounding areas, or plays a "leading role".

Our research finds that for the central cities around Shanghai in the Yangtze River Delta region, the improvement of traffic convenience may indeed produce both favorable radiation and unfavorable siphon for the development of these cities. Specifically, before China joined the WTO, the "siphon" effect that Shanghai was unfavorable to the surrounding cities played a slight leading role; After China’s entry into WTO, Shanghai’s positive "radiation" effect on surrounding cities has become very significant.

The law revealed by this study shows that opening to the outside world, a major strategy to make China’s economy break away from the involution track and develop towards a more complex, diverse and advanced economic structure, not only makes China’s economy as a whole gain considerable benefits by participating in the international cycle, but also makes our domestic cycle more efficient.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, today’s cross-border e-commerce has become more and more difficult. However, compared with the involution of domestic e-commerce, cross-border e-commerce is still relatively easy to do. As a result, it has also attracted a large number of people to join the cross-border e-commerce industry. However, there are so many cross-border platforms. How to choose as a small white who has just entered the cross-border business? Today, I have sorted out several mainstream cross-border platforms for you to refer to and compare.

No matter which platform you choose, it is very important to choose products, because it accounts for 60% of the whole cross-border business.

Amazon

One of the earliest cross-border platforms, it is also the first choice for many businesses to go to sea. It helps domestic businesses to seize the new opportunities of cross-border e-commerce, develop export business, expand the global market and build international brands. Moreover, the current Amazon has a fairly complete logistics and warehousing system, allowing businesses to concentrate on operating stores without worries.

But for other cross-border platforms, Amazon’s rules are relatively strict, and businesses need to operate in strict accordance with Amazon’s rules.

Advantages:

(1) large flow,Hundreds of millions of people visit the Amazon market every month, which can bring great exposure to goods.

② Perfect service:Amazon has a first-class service system, and its own FBA logistics storage system can handle inventory, packaging, shipping and transportation for merchants, so that you can concentrate on Amazon store operation.

③ It covers a wide range, with 17 sites at present.

Disadvantages:

① Expensive: It is more expensive to settle in FBA warehouse; Moreover, it must also ensure that the stored goods can be sold. If they cannot be sold, you will face the status quo of losing money.

② Great competition: Large flow means great competition. There are a lot of stores in Amazon that sell similar products to you. They may be the source of businesses, and they will sell at lower prices because of their own production. This makes you have to use price war to get higher traffic, but your own profits will be reduced.

Shopee：

Shopee is a relatively large e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia. Since its establishment in Singapore in 2015, Shopee’s business has rapidly covered more than 10 markets including Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan, China, making it the fastest-growing e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia.

Advantages:

Low entry threshold: in some sites, you don’t need to pay any deposit to enter Shopee, as long as you have a business license, self-employed or business license. However, due to the rapid development of Shopee in recent years, a deposit of 3,000 yuan is required for domestic settlement.

Traffic: According to official statistics of Shopee, 40 million users visit Shopee every month, which is the largest e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia.

Perfect warehousing and logistics system: Shopee has warehouses in China and does not need international logistics, so it can be delivered to domestic transfer stations.

Disadvantages:

Low unit price: Compared with Amazon, Shopee’s main market is Southeast Asia, and the traffic is relatively small; Moreover, the current e-commerce market in Southeast Asia is immature, with high return rate, immature logistics system and relatively low unit price.

Consumers don’t trust you when you start late: Shopee platform started late, and the Southeast Asian market is weak and still in the development stage. Therefore, many consumers don’t have high trust in it, and most of them use cash on delivery.

eBay

EBay is also an established cross-border website, and its main services are online auction, e-commerce, shopping malls and so on. EBay has 37 independent websites and portals around the world, covering more than 190 countries and regions.

Advantages:

Have special customer service: eBay has special customer service, which can be communicated by telephone or online conversation.

Relatively flexible; EBay can be priced in a variety of ways, such as bidding without reserve price, bidding with low price, selling at a fixed price, etc., and the marketing methods of goods are also diversified.

Disadvantages:

Background operation is more difficult: at present, eBay only displays in English, so it will be more difficult for those businesses with weak English.

High cost: eBay doesn’t provide customs clearance service, so domestic merchants need to handle customs clearance by themselves.

Difficult to review: eBay is more inclined to buyers, has strict requirements for merchants, and the refund process is very low.

AliExpress

The full name of AliExpress is AliExpress, which is a cross-border e-commerce platform built by Alibaba in the international market, and is also called "international Taobao" by many sellers.

Advantages:

Low entry threshold: AliExpress has a low entry threshold and active trading, which is very suitable for many small businesses to export quickly.

The transaction process is convenient and fast: the exporter does not need to have the qualification of enterprise foreign trade, and does not need to import and declare in person, and the import and export can be completed by the logistics party.

Disadvantages:

Great competition: As the entry threshold of AliExpress is relatively low, a large number of cross-border people have settled in, and the homogenization competition is serious. Most businesses can only gain advantages through low prices.

Low profit: AliExpress mainly focuses on developing countries and underdeveloped countries.

Summary:

Finally, I want to say that no matter which cross-border platform you choose, you must first understand what you want to buy and who to sell it to. Only by clarifying the relationship between people and goods, can the overall operational objectives be determined, and better operational strategies be formulated to obtain more orders.

CCTV News:Statistics from the General Administration of Customs show that in the first half of this year, China’s cross-border e-commerce increased by 10.5% year-on-year, which has become a new engine and new potential for China’s foreign trade growth.

According to the preliminary calculation of the Customs, in the first half of 2024, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China reached 1.22 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.5%; It is 4.4 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of China’s foreign trade in the same period. From 1.06 trillion yuan in 2018 to 2.38 trillion yuan in 2023, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China has increased by 1.2 times in five years.

China’s cross-border e-commerce is booming. In 2023, there were more than 7 billion cross-border e-commerce and cross-border mail express shipments under customs supervision, with an average of about 20 million pieces per day. In this regard, the customs has continuously innovated its supervision methods, developed and applied a cross-border e-commerce import and export supervision system, and made efforts to improve the efficiency of cross-border e-commerce customs clearance. At the same time, take a series of measures to ensure that it can be connected quickly and managed.

Guangzhou: Innovative export pooling mode Cross-border e-commerce ran out of "acceleration"

Nowadays, cross-border e-commerce has become a new trade bridge that directly links global consumers and producers, and everyone can participate. Domestic consumers watch the live broadcast with goods on the short video platform, and they can drink red wine from France as soon as possible after placing an order; Foreign consumers can put on the latest fashions from China in just two or three days with a click of the mouse on the e-commerce platform.

As a "Millennium Capital", Guangzhou has advantages in logistics, warehousing and goods categories, attracting more than 1,000 cross-border e-commerce enterprises to do business in Guangzhou, forming a complete cross-border e-commerce ecosystem from preferential policies and platform agglomeration to convenient logistics and financial innovation.

Entering the Nansha Comprehensive Bonded Zone, which is located in the south of Guangzhou and the geographical center of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, more than 100 kinds of goods are being put on shelves in an orderly manner in the warehouses of cross-border e-commerce enterprises, thousands of packages are slipping from the conveyor belt, and the staff are skillfully packing and loading cars.　

Zhang Yuyuan, a four-level researcher at Guangzhou Customs Postal Supervision Office, said: "At present, the cross-border e-commerce retail imports in Guangzhou are mainly food, cosmetics, leather products, etc., involving 1075 tax codes and 163 import countries and regions, covering five continents."

Enterprises develop in "selling the world" and consumers benefit from "buying the world". In recent years, cross-border e-commerce imports have become more and more abundant. Hot-selling goods such as household dishwashers, video game equipment, ski equipment, beer and fitness equipment have been added to the list of cross-border e-commerce retail imports, and the tax number of the listed goods has reached 1474.

Zhang Yuyuan introduced: "At present, Guangzhou’s cross-border e-commerce industry has three characteristics: First, the import demand is large, and the import scale has remained the first in the country for nine consecutive years since 2015. In the first seven months of this year, the value of cross-border e-commerce imports in Guangzhou reached 16.22 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%, involving more than 23.7 million consumers. Second, the proportion of imported mainstream e-commerce platforms continues to increase. Third, the types of goods are still dominated by consumer goods. "

With the rise of "Made in China" and the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce exports, the online ordering and consumption patterns of "fast fashion" retail goods such as domestic fashion clothes and clothing bags are widely favored by overseas consumers. However, online shopping for fast-selling goods often needs to be returned due to the mismatch of sizes and consumers’ dissatisfaction with the wearing effect. The problem of "difficult return" in cross-border online shopping has once become a difficult problem for consumers and cross-border export enterprises.

Li Qi, deputy section chief of Nansha Customs Cross-border E-commerce Supervision Section under Guangzhou Customs, said: "Unpacking, sorting, shelving, storage and re-export are completed in one stop in the warehouse of the comprehensive bonded area, and enterprises are also supported to store the goods returned overseas in the same warehouse as the goods exported by cross-border e-commerce. ‘ Turnkey ’ Distribution and container transportation not only reduce the cost of setting up return warehouses overseas, but also save management and logistics costs for enterprises and further improve the cross-border e-commerce export industrial chain. "

Relying on the export return policy of cross-border e-commerce special areas, cross-border e-commerce export enterprises can also integrate logistics warehousing and management teams inside and outside the special customs supervision areas into the same warehouse operation, so as to reduce the logistics management cost of consolidated export commodities by 30%. In the first seven months of this year, the cross-border e-commerce export consolidation project in the special customs supervision area of Guangzhou Customs delivered nearly 50 million parcels, and related enterprises saved nearly 1.25 billion yuan in international logistics and transportation costs.　

Since the centralized mode of cross-border e-commerce export in the special customs supervision area has landed, it has attracted many leading cross-border e-commerce export enterprises to enter the area to carry out related business. In the first seven months of this year, the import and export value of cross-border e-commerce export in the special supervision area of Guangzhou Customs exceeded 20 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of nearly five times. The warehouse area in the comprehensive bonded area was 330,000 square meters, which led to more than 3,000 jobs.

Shandong: "Summer Economy" Hot Cross-border E-commerce New Track

In the scorching sun, "summer products" have become hot commodities snapped up by foreign consumers, and the export volume of cross-border e-commerce seasonal commodities has increased significantly, adding new vitality to China’s foreign trade.

A few days ago, in the cross-border e-commerce supervision center of Yantai Comprehensive Bonded Zone, 24 container vehicles drove out of the customs supervision bayonet one after another, loaded with seasonal products such as "cool summer clothes", "sunscreen" and "outdoor products", and will soon be sent to South Korea by liner. This summer, foreign consumers snapped up "Made in China" in succession, and the number of packages exported by cross-border e-commerce increased significantly.

Zhan Xiao Bin, general manager of the supply chain company, said: "At present, the sales of summer commodities on major e-commerce platforms are booming, and the volume of goods in places has increased greatly, with an average daily shipment of nearly 100,000 orders and an average daily turnover of 20 container trucks. In July this year, we have exported 2.15 million cross-border e-commerce orders to Korea, with a value of more than 43 million US dollars, up 13.7% year-on-year. In August this year, we expect to exceed 2.2 million orders. "

While the volume of export orders has increased substantially, the timeliness requirements of cross-border e-commerce have also improved significantly. Customs and other departments have strengthened the support of scientific and technological equipment, improved the port operation and customs clearance inspection capabilities, and ensured that e-commerce products can go to sea quickly in season.

In the first seven months of 2024, Qingdao Customs supervised the import and export of cross-border e-commerce by more than 97 million votes, a year-on-year increase of 26%; Among them, more than 15 million votes were imported and exported in July, a year-on-year increase of 23%.

Zhejiang: Exports of sporting goods increased by 26.9% in the first seven months.

In this summer, from the European Cup to the Olympic Games, from sports equipment to peripheral products, a large number of "Made in Zhejiang" figures are active in the field of sports economy brought by large-scale events. Cross-border e-commerce, as one of the highlights of Zhejiang’s foreign trade, has also become a "new track" for "Made in Zhejiang" exports.

Xu Xiaobing, the statistics and analysis department of Yiwu Customs under Hangzhou Customs, said that with the holding of international sports events such as the European Cup and the Olympic Games, the export of sporting goods in Yiwu ushered in a "big year" this year. 1— In July, Yiwu exported 5.81 billion yuan of sporting goods and equipment, a year-on-year increase of 37.8%.

Zhejiang e-commerce enterprises can seize the business opportunity of "event economy" without the mature industrial chain formed by the first-Mover advantage of Zhejiang cross-border e-commerce industry and the efficient logistics network. In the first cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zone in China, batches of cross-border e-commerce retail export commodities have arrived at the customs supervision place of Hangzhou Bonded Logistics Center. After rapid customs supervision and release, these cross-border e-commerce commodities will be freely exported through five airport ports in the Yangtze River Delta region, including Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport and Shanghai Pudong Airport, according to the capacity of freight flights.

Chen Min, customs manager of international freight forwarding company, said: "Generally speaking, after overseas consumers place orders on cross-border platforms, 5-mdash; You can receive goods from domestic sellers within 7 days, which also encourages more overseas consumers to choose domestic e-commerce companies to place orders. "

At present, the average daily export of cross-border e-commerce parcels by Hangzhou Bonded Logistics Center has exceeded 100,000. Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, near the logistics center, has greatly improved the "capacity" and freight capacity of airport freight by opening the country’s first "multi-layer structure+intelligence" international cargo terminal and encrypting all freight routes. Up to now, Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport has opened a total of 27 all-cargo flights, of which 12 routes are "bound" to the top 25 airports in the world in terms of cargo and mail throughput, providing strong logistics support for cross-border e-commerce commodity exports in Zhejiang. At the end of July, Hangzhou Airport also opened an all-cargo flight from Hangzhou to Osaka, Japan, and the cross-border e-commerce products exported to Japan achieved "the next day".

Bao Minwei, the second-level organizer of Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport Customs Comprehensive Business Division II, which belongs to Hangzhou Customs, said: "We embed the customs supervision operation chain into the enterprise logistics operation chain, relying on the construction of smart customs, such as using some intelligent screen comparison, intelligent drawing review and intelligent sorting to further reduce the customs clearance time. 1-mdash this year; In July, the outbound freight volume of Hangzhou Airport reached 96,700 tons, up 53.7% year-on-year, of which the outbound freight volume of cross-border e-commerce reached 65,200 tons, accounting for nearly 70% of the total export freight volume of the airport port, showing ‘ E-commerce of freight ’ The characteristics of. "

According to statistics of Hangzhou Customs, 1-mdash; In July, Zhejiang’s sporting goods exports reached 18.5 billion yuan, up 26.9% year-on-year, 19 percentage points higher than the average growth rate of Zhejiang’s exports, among which exports to France increased by 53.3%.
