While affirming that Guangdong Province attaches great importance to the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical industry, the audit findings also point out that many pharmaceutical consumables distribution enterprises have increased intermediate sales links and raised the price of medical equipment, medical personnel have long accepted the benefits from pharmaceutical companies, and medical institutions have illegally purchased or used medical equipment.

On August 8th, an investigation report on special audit of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Audit Office (draft for comments) obtained by Economic Observer Network showed that three pharmaceutical manufacturers in Guangdong Province had used 4.077 billion yuan for public relations and other purposes, pushing up the ex-factory price of drugs.

In addition, while affirming that Guangdong Province attaches great importance to the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical industry, the audit findings also point out that many pharmaceutical consumables distribution enterprises have increased intermediate sales links and raised the price of medical equipment, medical personnel have long accepted the benefits from pharmaceutical companies, and medical institutions have illegally purchased or used medical equipment.

From the end of May to July, 2023, the audit team sent by the National Audit Office conducted a special audit investigation on the production, distribution and use of drugs and high-value medical consumables in Guangdong Province (excluding Shenzhen, the same below), focusing on the relevant administrative departments of drug supervision, medical security and health care in Guangdong Province, public hospitals, primary medical and health service institutions and other medical institutions, and the production and distribution enterprises of drugs and consumables.

People close to the Guangdong Health Care System told Economic Observer that the Guangdong Health Care System was indeed being audited some time ago and just ended. "This audit is very strict."

The above audit investigation report was signed by "Guangdong Provincial Special Audit Investigation Team on the Production, Distribution and Use of Drugs and High-value Medical Consumables", which was forwarded by the Guangdong Provincial Health and Health Commission Office to Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Foshan, Heyuan, Dongguan, Zhongshan Health Bureau (Commission), Provincial People’s Hospital, Provincial Second People’s Hospital, Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Cancer Prevention Center of Sun Yat-sen University, Stomatological Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University, and Second Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University.

The staff of the above-mentioned hospital confirmed to the Economic Observer that the investigation report forwarded by the Guangdong Provincial Health and Health Commission was true. The doctor of another hospital told Economic Observer that the hospital level issued several anti-corruption announcements.

Drug production enterprises collect funds for public relations.

Audit spot checks found that from 2021 to May 2023, three pharmaceutical manufacturers in Guangdong paid fees to 1,936 third-party business promotion companies, and withdrew 4.077 billion yuan in the name of service fees, which increased the comprehensive cost of drugs and pushed up the ex-factory price.

These three enterprises are Guangdong Yifang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangdong Yifang Company"), Guangzhou Poinsettia Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Poinsettia Company") and Livzon Group.

Among them, the Guangdong company paid 2.39 billion yuan to 966 business promotion companies in the name of "technical service fee", which was used for the pharmacy construction cost and labor cost of cooperative hospitals.

Guangzhou Poinsettia Company collected 1.675 billion yuan by registering conference service companies in batches, and assigned a third-party company to register and set up 962 conference service companies at the same address in the form of "cluster registration". The third-party company further decomposed the funds according to the requirements of Guangzhou Poinsettia Company and transferred them to specific personnel accounts to pay the public relations expenses of hospitals in various regions.

Livzon Group set up a consulting company through its employees to collect funds of 12.4001 million yuan, and the funds were transferred to the personal accounts of relevant employees for drug public relations.

In addition to pharmaceutical manufacturers, the audit investigation team also found that pharmaceutical consumables distribution enterprises increased intermediate sales links and pushed up the circulation price of medical equipment. The enterprises involved include Kangchao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Sinopharm Equipment (Dongguan) Co., Ltd., and the products involved include Cao Qinghua Yixin Chushi Zhitong Capsule and other high-value medical consumables such as spinal internal fixators.

It is worth noting that there are also public hospitals that increase procurement intermediate links to make profits to subordinate enterprises. For example, from 2020 to May 2023, the Cancer Hospital affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University appointed Guangdong Guanhua Medical Service Company, a subsidiary of the trade union, to supply medical consumables for it, and Guangdong Guanhua Medical Service Company made a profit of 7,488,200 yuan, with an average price increase rate of 6.6%.

Medical personnel have long accepted the benefits delivered by pharmaceutical companies.

Audit investigation shows that domestic authoritative medical experts have long accepted exclusive service arrangements of foreign-funded pharmaceutical enterprises. Kehui Medical Devices International Trade (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kehui Company") is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, which mainly sells Covidien brand medical devices, and has long sponsored academic exchange activities organized by medical and pharmaceutical associations at all levels in China, and requires domestic distributors to pay accommodation, transportation, air tickets and other expenses for participating doctors and experts according to 2% of annual sales.

The audit spot check found that in 2022, Foshan Tailing Trading Co., Ltd., the brand distributor, paid 15.8117 million yuan for transportation, accommodation, catering and other expenses for medical experts and related personnel through nine travel agencies according to the instructions of Kehui Company, of which only one travel agency provided special follow-up, special car transfer and gifts for 272 authoritative experts in the medical field in China (including 63 in Guangdong Province) in seven meetings.

In addition, 4,782 medical staff illegally accepted the benefits delivered by foreign-funded pharmaceutical companies in the name of conference registration fees, involving pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer Healthcare Co., Ltd.

In addition, four medical experts from public hospitals received a targeted donation of 2.37 million yuan from pharmaceutical companies through the foundation of Guangdong Medical Association, involving five pharmaceutical companies including Beihai Kangcheng (Shanghai) Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Medical institutions illegally purchase or use medical devices.

The audit investigation found that medical institutions illegally purchase or use medical devices, which has hidden hidden dangers of life and health and financial security.

The audit spot check found that three medical institutions, including Zengcheng Branch of Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University (hereinafter referred to as Zengcheng Branch of Southern Hospital), had problems such as determining the winning bidder in advance and purchasing large-scale medical equipment at a high price, involving funds of 73.0828 million yuan (including equipment price increase of 30.209 million yuan).

For example, in 2020, the then president of Zengcheng Branch of Southern Hospital organized the head of the department to conduct a feasibility study on purchasing X-ray computed tomography scanner, and determined the equipment of American GE Company quoted by Guangzhou Tangyun Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. In June 2021, the enterprise actually controlled by the company won the bid with the same brand and model equipment, with the winning bid amount of 29.49 million yuan, the purchase price of which was 14.287 million yuan, and the difference reached 15.2 million yuan.

In addition, the audit survey found that from 2018 to May 2023, a total of 491 medical institutions in Guangdong Province entrusted Guoyi Tendering Co., Ltd. to carry out bidding for more than 10,000 large-scale medical equipment or consumables procurement projects, with a total project amount of 22.386 billion yuan. Among them, only 3 companies participated in the bidding for nearly 9,000 projects.

Zengcheng Branch of Southern Hospital illegally purchased a proton radiotherapy system equipment without the permission of National Health Commission Class A large-scale medical equipment configuration, and paid 50% of the purchase price of 120 million yuan from the special government debt before the main components were shipped.

In terms of illegal use of medical devices, two medical institutions, including Zhongshan People’s Hospital, repeatedly used 2409 disposable ultrasonic blades, involving 15,100 person-times, involving medical insurance fund of 7,730,600 yuan. The Stomatological Hospital of Southern Medical University applied the "ultrasonic osteotome" used in the operation to the charging item of "additional ultrasonic scalpel", and illegally charged 67.2031 million yuan for medical treatment and 5.7011 million yuan for medical insurance fund.

The audit investigation also found that Guangdong Medical Association received 52,056,200 yuan from 329 pharmaceutical companies to designate doctors to promote their products. Guangdong Medical Association fraudulently distributed lecture fees and preparation fees of 169,600 yuan to medical experts in violation of regulations.

It is worth noting that the audit survey results also pointed out that Guangdong Province attaches great importance to the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical industry, actively promotes comprehensive reforms in the pharmaceutical field, and continuously optimizes the business environment of pharmaceutical enterprises, achieving good results. In view of the problems found in the above audit investigation, the audit investigation team also gave a number of suggestions.

On August 8, Economic Observer Network called the investor relations department of Livzon Group several times, but it was not connected. Ask Bayer China for an interview and get no reply; The relevant person in charge of Beihai Kangcheng responded that his company had not received a notice to cooperate with the investigation, and it was not clear about the specific situation.

Full of green’s parks, greenways, clean and tidy farmers’ markets, neatly parked roadside vehicles and colorful volunteer activities … Walking in Longgang, the civilization scene everywhere is refreshing.

The beauty of the city is not limited to the beautiful scenery, but also lies in the profound and heavy background of civilization. In the three years since the town was removed and the city was set up, in the hot spot of reform, the projects of upgrading quality and improving people’s livelihood have been accelerated: more than 30 hectares of green space have been added, and 7.2 kilometers of greenways for people’s livelihood have been completed; Create 4 Wuhua farmers’ markets and 9 provincial assured markets; Get through the microcirculation of regional roads, and traffic congestion has dropped significantly …

Today, Longgang is making great efforts to move towards a provincial demonstration civilized city.

"external beauty"

Dress up the value of the city based on the existing resources

Uniformly decorated interiors, standardized and tidy booth classification, and strict garbage management … The fourth vegetable market in Longgang City is a clean and hygienic modern farmer’s market. "After the management reform in recent years, the environment of the vegetable market has changed too much." Ms. Zhu, a business owner who has been engaged in aquatic products for 20 years, deeply felt: "With the red, yellow and green OEM, we will know where to start improving."

Previously, the Longgang farmers’ market generally had problems such as dirty environment and outdated equipment, and the basic conditions were relatively weak. In order to solve the difficulties, Longgang has transformed the market as a whole in batches based on the original market framework through internal transformation and upgrading. At present, it has created 4 Wuhua farmers’ markets and 9 provincial assured markets.

After the market transformation and upgrading, how to maintain it is a big problem. To this end, Longgang further optimized the management mechanism by means of "green, yellow and red list" scoring mechanism and market professional management. The OEM mentioned by Ms. Zhu is the innovative practice of Longgang City. "We evaluate the farmers’ market and business households separately, and judge the green, yellow and red lists every month according to the scores, reward the winners of the green list, and take punishment measures such as suspending business and rectifying the objects on the’ red list’." Sun Zuogan, deputy director of Longgang State Administration for Market Regulation, said that they have also effectively implemented the main responsibility of the market and improved the market management ability through specialized custody of the farmers’ market.

While dressing up the farmers’ market, the traffic problems closely related to people’s livelihood are also quietly changing. Since July this year, the traffic micro-circulation construction has been implemented in the Xiakou area of Longgang, and 16 two-way paths in the area have been changed to one-way traffic, and on-street parking spaces have been added. As soon as this move comes out, it not only relieves the traffic pressure on main roads, improves the utilization rate of secondary and branch roads, but also relieves the contradiction between parking supply and demand to some extent. "In the case that the urban road reconstruction project is difficult to implement, it is an effective measure with little investment and quick results to carry out traffic microcirculation reconstruction." Lin Hao, deputy squadron leader of Longgang Traffic Police Brigade, said that since the trial, the traffic congestion alarm in Xiabu area has dropped by 80%, and the traffic accident alarm has dropped by 28.1%.

Strolling in the ecological corridor of Yuehu Lake and Cuihu Lake, the beautiful lakeside scenery and the scene of the new district with high-rise buildings are reflected in the curtain. From "beautiful corner" to "dotted", in recent years, Longgang has been deeply involved in the construction of park green space, relying on the renovation of Kugaji to further enhance the urban ecological charm. At present, 15 "Jinjiao Yinbian" park green space projects have been started, with more than 30 hectares of green space added, and 7.2 kilometers of greenway for people’s livelihood has been completed. The first phase of Yuehu Cuihu Ecological Corridor has been completed, and the second phase of the city park (wetland) park is scheduled to open in late September. By then, Longgang citizens will have more good places to rest and entertain.

"inner beauty"

Enriching cultural activities and condensing consensus on writing.

The most beautiful scenery of a city is "people", and the most beautiful scene is that everyone is bathed in the new wind of civilization and everyone is involved in the creation of civilization.

On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 10th, 13 families from Zhixinmingdu Community in Longgang spent an unforgettable full moon night together-tasting moon cakes, learning about Mid-Autumn Festival customs and folklore, and going to the seaside sightseeing belt to watch the tide and enjoy the moon. Under the leadership of volunteers, the scene was full of laughter and laughter, and everyone talked about the beautiful life and felt the romance and warmth of the traditional culture of Mid-Autumn Festival together.

This is a microcosm of Longgang’s rich volunteer service activities and the promotion of the construction of a 10-minute volunteer service circle. In recent years, with the transformation of Longgang from town to city, citizens have put forward new requirements for the content and quality of cultural services.

Based on the construction of a civilized practice center in the new era, Longgang established a voluntary service federation, launched a new form of voluntary service order, and opened up the "last mile" of serving the masses. Through the online platform, communities and citizens can submit the demand for activities, and the system accurately delivers the orders to professional teams in the form of dispatching orders, thus achieving accurate delivery of volunteer activities. As of August this year, Longgang has carried out more than a thousand voluntary service activities. Quietly, the power of civilization imperceptibly infiltrated the hearts of Longgang citizens.

Taking the creation of "Sharing Society Happiness Lane" as the starting point, Longgang actively builds a 15-minute quality cultural life circle and accelerates the construction of cultural activity facilities. A number of key cultural sites with high value and high taste, such as Longgang Art Museum, Yue Long Road City Study Room, and Jiajiao Lacquerware Private Museum, have successively landed.

"The creation of a civilized city is a systematic work, which depends not only on the government’s leadership, but also on the participation of the masses." Huang Changyao, deputy director of the Propaganda and United Front Work Department of Longgang Municipal Committee, said that in order to unite the consensus of creating articles, Longgang focused on the improvement of the exquisite environment in the whole region, promoted the creation of civilized cities, strengthened the construction of the creation mechanism, and established a centralized action plan, a centralized inspection plan, and a civilized "1151" system to create linkage mechanisms. At the same time, it also created Tuesday Civilization Creation Day, monthly volunteer service festival, daily courtesy zebra crossing persuasion and other activity carriers to promote the creation of civilization throughout the world.

Walking in Longgang, wherever you go, the flowers of civilization bloom-every courtesy in front of the zebra crossing, every time you bow your head and pick up the garbage around you, and every smiling face of volunteers is a beautiful interpretation of the broad masses of cadres and people in the city who have devoted themselves to the creation of provincial civilized cities.

If you do not stop, the future can be expected. With the joint efforts of the whole city, the upsurge of creating a civilized city is surging in Longgang, and a picture scroll of butterfly change of civilization showing the characteristics of Longgang is slowly spreading out.(Reporter Jin Ruiya)

　　Preventing and resolving major risks is an important part of the three major battles, and it is the political responsibility of party committees and governments at all levels and leading cadres. The COVID-19 epidemic is a sudden major risk, a big test of China’s national governance system and governance capacity, and a test of the ability of party committees and governments at all levels and leading cadres to prevent and resolve major risks. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that it is necessary to improve the national emergency management system and improve the ability to deal with urgent and dangerous tasks in view of the shortcomings and shortcomings exposed in the response to this epidemic. Party committees and governments at all levels and leading cadres must deeply understand the severe and complicated risk situation in China, give full play to the remarkable advantages of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system, further improve the national emergency management system, and do a good job in preventing and resolving major risks.

　　First, a deep understanding of China’s severe and complex risk situation

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is an important principle for our party to manage the country by coordinating development and security, enhancing the sense of hardship and being prepared for danger in times of peace. Only by strengthening risk awareness, constantly observing the general trend and thinking about the overall situation, scientifically predicting the development trend of the situation and hiding the risk challenges, and taking precautions can we enhance the initiative to prevent and resolve major risks.

　　To prevent and resolve major risks, we must first correctly grasp the situation and scientifically understand risks. Great changes have taken place in China’s current domestic and international environment, and the risk situation it faces has also changed greatly, showing three characteristics: various risks are complex and diverse, chain linkage and extreme risks are more prominent.

　　(A) various risks are complex and diverse

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and today’s opening-up and development environment is generally more favorable than ever, and at the same time, it faces unprecedented contradictions and risks. In October 2015, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In the next five years, it may be a period when risks in all aspects of China’s development are constantly accumulating and even concentrated. The major risks we face include domestic economic, political, ideological and social risks and risks from nature, as well as international economic, political and military risks. If there is a major risk and you can’t help it, national security may face a major threat, and the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way may be forced to be interrupted. " [1] The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also emphasized: "We should guard against all kinds of risks more consciously and resolutely overcome all difficulties and challenges in political, economic, cultural, social and other fields and in nature."

　　Risk is an important feature of modern society. At present, China is faced with the dual pressures of safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests externally and maintaining political security and social stability internally, and various foreseeable and unpredictable risk factors have obviously increased. The risks we face are varied, including natural risks, economic risks and technological risks, as well as health risks, social risks and political risks, including both local risks that occur in China and imported risks that are affected by other countries (regions).

　　(B) Risk linkage

　　Today’s society is an open giant system, and various risks often do not appear in isolation. It is likely that you have me and I have you, which are intertwined and form a risk complex. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Various sources and points of contradictory risk challenges are intertwined and interact with each other. If we fail to take precautions and respond effectively, it will be transmitted, superimposed, evolved and upgraded, so that small contradiction risk challenges will develop into large contradiction risk challenges, local contradiction risk challenges will develop into systematic contradiction risk challenges, international contradiction risk challenges will evolve into domestic contradiction risk challenges, and contradictions in economic, social, cultural and ecological fields will turn into political contradiction risk challenges, which will ultimately endanger the party’s ruling position and national security. " [2]

　　With China’s reform entering the deep-water area, economic development has entered a new normal, various contradictions are superimposed, and potential risks are concentrated, which is easy to form systematic risks and produce "ripple effect" and "domino effect". Therefore, we should strictly prevent all kinds of security risks from gathering and converging to form a risk complex, and keep the bottom line that systematic risks do not occur. At the same time, in the era of economic globalization, the security of all countries is interrelated and affects each other; No country can seek its own absolute security on its own, and no country can reap stability from the turmoil of other countries. Therefore, we should co-ordinate the two major domestic and international situations and develop two major safety issues, focusing on the key points and taking the overall situation into consideration, so as to effectively prevent all kinds of risk chain linkage.

　　(3) Extreme risks are more prominent.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed, "In the face of the complicated international situation, complex and sensitive surrounding environment, and arduous and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, we must always be on high alert, not only for the’ black swan’ incident, but also for the’ grey rhinoceros’ incident; It is necessary to have the first hand to prevent risks, but also to have a clever way to deal with and resolve risk challenges; We must not only fight a prepared battle to prevent and resist risks, but also fight a strategic initiative to turn danger into danger. " [3]

　　To guard against extreme risks, we must keep the bottom line, and we must never make subversive mistakes on fundamental issues. Once they appear, they will be irreparable and irreparable. Under the new situation, the major risks faced by China’s national security and social stability have obviously increased, and the impact of various "black swan" incidents and "gray rhinoceros" incidents has obviously increased. Therefore, preventing and resolving major risks is very important for winning the Chinese dream of building a well-off society in an all-round way, winning the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We should prevent and control all kinds of risks, but we should focus on preventing and controlling the overall risks that may delay or interrupt the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Second, give full play to the remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that to win the tough battle to prevent and resolve major risks, we must uphold and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and use the power of the system to deal with the impact of risk challenges. [4] Socialism with Chinese characteristics system has obvious institutional advantages. Facts have proved that the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system can overcome all kinds of risk challenges at home and abroad, and constantly improve and develop in this process. Standing at a new historical starting point, to effectively cope with the increasingly complex and severe risk challenges, we must give full play to China’s powerful institutional advantages and better transform China’s institutional advantages into the effectiveness of preventing and resolving major risks.

　　(1) Adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party.

　　The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. The Decision of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee pointed out that one of the remarkable advantages of China’s state system and state governance system is to "adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party, adhere to the Party’s scientific theory, maintain political stability, and ensure that the country always advances along the socialist direction". In "On Upholding the Party’s Leadership over All Work", the Supreme Leader General Secretary profoundly pointed out: "A prominent feature of the superiority of China’s socialist political system is the core role of the party in taking the overall situation and coordinating all parties, which is vividly called’ the stars hold the moon’, and this’ moon’ is the Communist Party of China (CPC)." He also pointed out that "the national governance system is a complex system composed of many subsystems, and the core of this system is the Communist Party of China (CPC)".

　　The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the strong leading core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause. Through a strong top-down organizational network, it has a very strong organizational mobilization ability, which can ensure that "one pole is inserted in the end" and quickly convey the central decision-making and deployment to the most basic level. The core role of the party’s leadership is the key for us to overcome the risk challenge and win victory continuously. To prevent and resolve major risks, we must give full play to the advantages of centralized and unified leadership of the party, integrate the strength and resources of all parties, and form a powerful "fist." To this end, it is necessary to further improve the system of the Party’s leadership that takes the overall situation into consideration and coordinates all parties, improve the organizational network composed of party member cadres at all levels and grass-roots party organizations, and implement the Party’s leadership in all fields, aspects and links to prevent and resolve major risks.

　　The response to the COVID-19 epidemic fully reflects the great significance of China’s adherence to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party. After the outbreak, the CPC Central Committee attached great importance to it, and the Supreme Leader General Secretary personally commanded and deployed it. The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) held several meetings to conduct special studies, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China specially issued the Notice on Strengthening the Party’s Leadership and Providing Strong Political Guarantee for Winning the Prevention and Control of the Epidemic. Under the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the central leading group for responding to the epidemic timely studied and deployed the work, the joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council strengthened policy coordination and material deployment, and all localities and departments actively performed their duties and responsibilities. The people of all ethnic groups throughout the country were United and United, and they gathered into a strong joint force to respond to the epidemic.

　　(2) Adhere to a national chess game.

　　Adhering to a national chess game, mobilizing the enthusiasm of all parties and concentrating on major events are the obvious advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and a powerful guarantee for winning the tough battle to prevent and resolve major risks. Preventing and resolving major risks has the characteristics of urgency, difficulty and danger, large amount of tasks, and wide coverage. It is often necessary to coordinate across departments, levels, regions and fields, and proceed from the overall situation of the country and pay close attention to all work. By establishing and perfecting the system of the Party’s leadership that takes the overall situation into consideration and coordinates all parties, we have formed a national mobilization system with strong political and organizational advantages, and truly achieved "one party in need is supported by all parties".

　　The prevention and control of major epidemics is a systematic project, and all work should provide support for winning this severe struggle. Only by adhering to a national chess game, making overall plans and coordinating linkage can we win the overall war of epidemic prevention and control. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "Party committees and governments at all levels must resolutely obey the unified command, coordination and dispatch of the CPC Central Committee" [5], stressed that "all localities and departments must enhance their overall awareness and concept" [6] and demanded that "all work should provide support for winning the epidemic prevention and control war" [7]. Under the unified leadership and command of the CPC Central Committee, all localities and departments perform their duties, coordinate and coordinate, act urgently and fight with all their strength. We take the strength of the whole country, collect high-quality resources, "one province covers one city", and establish an inter-provincial counterpart support mechanism for medical treatment in COVID-19, a city in Hubei Province except Wuhan; Medical personnel were dispatched all over the country to quickly assemble and help Wuhan; Builders fought day and night to quickly build Wuhan Huoshenshan Hospital; The army efficiently delivered epidemic prevention and control materials, and selected medical staff to participate in medical treatment; Enterprises work overtime to produce, and the epidemic prevention and control materials are uniformly dispatched nationwide. As Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, commented, "The speed and scale of China’s actions are rare in the world."

　　(C) adhere to give full play to the two enthusiasm

　　Dealing with the relationship between the central and local governments is a very important issue for a big Congress Party like ours. Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in "On Ten Major Relationships": "Our country is so big, its population is so large, and its situation is so complicated. It is much better to have the initiative of the central and local governments than to have only one initiative." "On the premise of consolidating the unified leadership of the central government, we should expand the power of local governments, give them more independence and let them do more things." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee: "Correctly handle the relationship between the central and local governments, the overall and local, the current and long-term relations, and correctly treat the adjustment of interest pattern". At the Third Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, it was further emphasized: "Give full play to the enthusiasm of the central and local authorities, and build a unified, smooth and dynamic working system of institutions at all levels from the central to the local authorities". The Decision of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee pointed out that we should improve and give full play to the positive institutional mechanisms of the central and local governments, straighten out the relationship between the central and local powers and responsibilities, strengthen the management of central macro-affairs, give local governments more autonomy, support local creative work, and build a working system with clear powers and responsibilities, smooth operation and full of vitality from central to local governments.

　　In response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, all localities and departments have set up leading bodies and emergency command bodies, mobilized various forces to do a good job in joint prevention and control, and built an iron wall of "putting people’s life safety and health first". All localities and departments should do a good job of overall planning in their work, considering not only the needs of epidemic prevention and control in this area, but also the impact on key areas and national prevention and control. In particular, the CPC Central Committee sent a steering group to Hubei and other areas with serious epidemics to promote relevant localities to effectively strengthen the front-line work of prevention and control. The Central Steering Group, headed by Sun Chunlan, Vice Premier of the People’s Republic of China, arrived in Wuhan, the "eye of the storm" of the epidemic at the first time during the Spring Festival, supervised Hubei to put all measures in place, assisted Hubei to solve major issues such as materials, medical personnel, technical support, and the problems of inspectors’ inaction, chaos, and lack of responsibility, which played an important guiding and coordinating role in the first-line epidemic prevention and control work.

　　(4) Adhere to group prevention and control.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the mass viewpoint and mass line and expand effective ways for the people to participate in public security governance. The broad masses of the people are not only the main body of our protection, but also the key force we must rely on to prevent and resolve major risks. Practice has proved that group prevention and control is not only a concrete manifestation of the remarkable advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, but also a key measure for us to win the battle to prevent and resolve major risks. We should not only play the leading role of grass-roots party organizations in politics and the vanguard and exemplary role of party member, but also mobilize, organize and unite the masses extensively, and build a people’s defense line to prevent and resolve major risks.

　　After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, under the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, we gave full play to the advantages of the Party’s close ties with the masses, relied on the masses to win the war of prevention and control of the epidemic, and built a strict defense line for prevention and treatment by the masses. All regions, organs of the Party, government, military groups, enterprises, institutions, villages and towns have taken urgent action, and the broad masses of the people are United and United as one. The situation of comprehensive mobilization, comprehensive deployment and comprehensive strengthening of epidemic prevention and control has been formed throughout the country, which has provided a solid social foundation and mass foundation for us to win the epidemic prevention and control war.

　　Third, further improve the national emergency management system

　　Emergency management is an important part of the country’s governance system and governance capacity. It undertakes the important responsibility of preventing and resolving major security risks, responding to and handling all kinds of disasters and accidents in a timely manner, and undertaking the important mission of protecting people’s lives and property and maintaining social stability. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that "we should give full play to the characteristics and advantages of China’s emergency management system, learn from the useful practices of foreign emergency management, and actively promote the modernization of China’s emergency management system and capacity." [8] To prevent and resolve major risks, we must further improve the national emergency management system and form a more mature and stereotyped emergency management system.

　　(A) improve the emergency management leadership system

　　The leadership system is the organizational basis of the national emergency management system. A scientific and reasonable leadership system is conducive to providing a solid organizational guarantee for emergency response. To improve the leadership system of emergency management, we should give full play to China’s political and organizational advantages and build an emergency management organization network that is linked up and down and coordinated left and right.

　　To do a good job in emergency management, we must uphold and strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the party, implement the major decision-making arrangements of the Party Central Committee on emergency management, and organize the work more effectively and efficiently. At the same time, it is necessary to build an organizational structure that combines functional and empowerment. The functional mechanism is a "column" and the empowering mechanism is a "beam". Only when they interact can the house be stronger. While giving full play to the comprehensive advantages of emergency management and the professional advantages of natural resources, meteorology, water conservancy, ecological environment, transportation, housing and urban construction, sanitation and health, public security and other relevant departments, it is necessary to give better play to the leading role of the emergency management deliberation and coordination institutions at all levels.

　　It is necessary to straighten out the relationship between the responsibilities of the central and local governments and give full play to their enthusiasm. On the one hand, it is necessary to refine the principle of "grading responsibility and giving priority to territorial management" and further strengthen the local subjective consciousness, responsibility and role in emergency response. On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the responsibilities of the central government in top-level design, planning and layout, overall coordination, overall promotion, supervision and implementation, and give better play to the guiding and coordinating role.

　　(B) Optimize the operational mechanism of emergency management

　　Operational mechanism is the functional basis of national emergency management system. Standardized and orderly operation mechanism is conducive to defining the tasks and priorities of emergency management. Emergency is a life cycle process including pre-event, incident, event and post-event. Emergency response is a whole chain management process including prevention and emergency preparation, monitoring and early warning, emergency treatment and rescue, and post-event recovery and reconstruction. Emergency management should cover the whole life cycle of emergencies, so as to achieve "no urgent response" beforehand, "emergency response" during the event, and "response after the event".

　　Emergency response should not only be managed in the whole process, but also focus on the key points; Only by grasping the key points can we be targeted. The ancients said, "Prevention is the best, rescue is the second, and abstinence is the next." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We must put the prevention of risks in a prominent position, and strive to avoid major risks or to survive and get by when there are major risks." [9] Prevention is the most economical, effective and safest way to do emergency management well. Emergencies often break out in places with the weakest management and the most hidden dangers that can’t be treated, which often causes the most uninformed and unprepared people to suffer the most serious damage. It is necessary to persist in moving forward the pass, do a good job in emergency prevention in an all-round way, grasp early and small signs, control emergencies at the grassroots level, resolve them in the bud and solve them locally.

　　(3) Improve the legal norms of emergency management.

　　Legal norms are the institutional basis of the national emergency management system. "No rules, no Fiona Fang." Systematic and complete system norms are conducive to reducing the uncertainty in emergency management activities and realizing scientific and orderly response. Leading organs and cadres at all levels should adhere to the rule of law thinking and the rule of law, do a good job in emergency management on the track of the rule of law, and manage people with the system.

　　On the one hand, we must build a scientific and complete institutional system. In view of the problems in emergency management activities, such as the lack of systems or conflicts between systems, the vague areas being neglected or multi-headed, we will implement the new requirements of comprehensively governing the country according to law, and build a three-dimensional system from different levels such as laws and regulations, policy documents, technical standards and emergency plans to provide a solid institutional framework for emergency response activities. On the other hand, it is necessary to improve the execution and binding force of the system. "It is not difficult to legislate, but it is difficult to enforce the law". The vitality of the system depends on its execution. In view of the phenomenon that the system norms become "scarecrow", "paper tiger" and "can’t be strictly enforced and implemented" in emergency management activities, it is necessary to improve the authoritative and efficient system implementation mechanism, strengthen the evaluation and supervision of system implementation, and make the system truly a hard constraint and a hard lever, which is effective and effective.

　　(D) to strengthen emergency management resources.

　　Resource guarantee is the logistics foundation of national emergency management system. "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first." Adequate reserves of emergency resources such as manpower, material resources and financial resources are conducive to providing solid and reliable logistics support for emergency response activities. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "Everything should be prepared from the disadvantages, strive for the best result, be prepared for anything, not panic when things happen, and firmly grasp the initiative." In contemporary society, all kinds of uncertain and unstable factors have obviously increased. "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared for thinking, and be prepared for nothing." To ensure emergency resources, we must adapt to the needs of effectively responding to various emergencies under complex conditions and adhere to the bottom line thinking. "It is better to be prepared than useless, and to be unprepared when not available." It is necessary to build a diversified reserve system such as physical reserve, contract reserve and capacity reserve, improve the procedures for emergency requisition and cross-regional dispatching of emergency resources, and prepare resources to meet the peak demand in extreme cases, so as to "prepare, find, adjust quickly and use well".

　　Science and technology are the primary productive forces. The rise of a new round of scientific and technological revolution has brought revolutionary changes to emergency management; The timely deployment of scientific and technological equipment and the bold use of scientific and technological means have greatly improved the level of emergency response. It is necessary to give full play to the role of science and technology empowerment, strengthen the technical support of emergency management equipment and the research and development of key technologies, and rely on science and technology to do a good job in risk prevention, monitoring and early warning, supervision and law enforcement, auxiliary command and decision-making, actual rescue and social mobilization, so as to improve the scientific, intelligent and refined level of emergency management.

　　(E) to create a safety culture of emergency management

　　Safety culture is the social foundation of the national emergency management system, which reflects the safety awareness and emergency skills of the whole society. The broad masses of the people are not only the main body of our protection, but also the strength we rely on to effectively deal with emergencies. While continuing to consolidate the advantages of the national disaster relief system and give full play to the strong leadership role of party committees and governments at all levels, we should better carry out disaster prevention work for the whole people, establish a mechanism for social forces and market forces to participate in emergency management in an orderly manner, improve public safety awareness and emergency response capabilities, and enhance the safety and resilience of the whole society.

　　To do a good job in emergency management, we must vigorously create a social atmosphere of "everyone cares about safety, everyone values safety, and everyone participates in safety". Leading cadres of party and government organs, employees of enterprises and institutions, media reporters, volunteers and the masses are all members of society. The formation of safety culture requires everyone’s active participation and joint efforts. It is necessary to incorporate emergency management education into the assessment, evaluation, education and training system of leading cadres at all levels, into the national education and spiritual civilization construction system, promote safety publicity into enterprises, rural areas, communities, schools and families, and consolidate the social foundation of emergency management.

　　On Tuesday, local time, US stocks finally got rid of the light market trend for more than a week, but unfortunately it was not a big rise but a big drop. The three major indexes closed down across the board, with the Dow down more than 300 points and the Nasdaq down 2%.

　　On the one hand, the power of the earnings season began to show, and giants such as McDonald’s and UPS warned that the macroeconomic prospects were not good in the earnings report. On the other hand, the deposits of Daiwa Bank in the United States dropped by 40%, and UBS’s net profit in the first quarter halved, all of which highlighted that the banking crisis had not completely subsided and the market risk aversion was ignited.

　　On Monday, the First Total Bank disclosed that even though Wall Street giants had jointly deposited 30 billion dollars, they lost over 70 billion dollars in the first quarter of this year alone. At the end of the first quarter, the deposit figure was only $104.5 billion, far below the $136.6 billion expected by analysts.

　　The first total and the bank lost 49.38% of its market value on Tuesday. In the news, the media reported that the bank was going to sell "50 billion to 100 billion dollars" of long-term assets to solve the mismatch problem. It is reported that Biden administration officials have been keeping in touch with Daikyo Bank in recent days, and the White House is increasingly worried that there is not much time left for Daikyo Bank to appease investors and depositors, but American policy makers are not worried that risks may spread further among banks.

　　It is worth noting that due to various indications that there are still many risk factors in the market, traders no longer bet 100% that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates before the middle of this year. According to the observation tool of the Federal Reserve, the probability of raising interest rates by 25 basis points in May fell to 81.5%, compared with 90.5% the previous day.

　　However, for technology stocks, the financial reports of Microsoft and Google have slightly eased some market concerns. AI and cloud services helped Microsoft’s financial report exceed expectations, with revenue of $52.9 billion, higher than analysts’ expectations of $51.03 billion; Earnings per share were $2.45, higher than analysts’ expectations of $2.24. More importantly, a strong profit guidance was released, which rose by 8% after hours.

　　Google’s parent company Alphabet’s revenue in the first quarter was $69.79 billion, higher than analysts’ expectations of $68.99 billion. Earnings per share was $1.17, higher than analysts’ expectations of $1.09. At the same time, it was announced that the board of directors authorized an additional repurchase of up to $70 billion. Google rose more than 4% after hours.

　　In addition, OpenAI plans to launch a new product, ChatGPT Business, which is the enterprise version in the next few months. At the same time, the new function of ChatGPT allows all users to turn off chat records, which will not be used to train and improve the model of OpenAI.

　　In terms of important macro news, according to Xinhua News Agency, US President and Democrat Biden officially announced his re-election as US President on the 25th. Biden released a video on the same day to officially announce his decision to run for re-election as president of the United States, and pointed his finger at the so-called Republican extremist forces, saying that the United States is still in the struggle of "fighting for the soul of the country" and he needs more time to "complete this work."

　　This means that next year, the world may once again witness the "peak confrontation" between Trump and Biden.

　　Banking crisis worries have re-suppressed the market’s interest rate hike pricing for the Fed.

　　The interest rate swap contract of the Federal Reserve in June currently reflects that the benchmark interest rate of the central bank is only 20 basis points higher than the current effective federal funds rate, which implies that the possibility of raising interest rates in one of the next two FOMC meetings is about 80%, while it was almost certain that the Fed would raise interest rates in May.

　　The debt ceiling deadlock is hard to solve. The White House says Biden will veto the Republican bundled spending reduction plan.

　　The Republican proposal put forward by House Speaker McCarthy requires that the debt ceiling of $1.5 trillion be raised and the future total government expenditure be reduced by $4.5 trillion. On Tuesday, the White House said that the debt ceiling must be solved without any conditions. Also on Tuesday, US Treasury Secretary Yellen warned lawmakers that if the debt ceiling is not resolved, the economic achievements made in the past two years will be threatened.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 18th: Four Questions about Vaccination for the Elderly — — Investigation report from the front line of epidemic prevention and control

　　Xinhua news agency reporter

　　90.37%, which is the proportion of people who have completed the whole vaccination of Covid-19 vaccine in China; 86.6% and 66.4%, respectively, are the proportion of people over 60 years old and over 80 years old who have completed the whole vaccination.

　　With the weakening of pathogenicity in Omicron, the popularization of vaccination and the accumulation of prevention and control experience, China’s epidemic prevention and control is facing a new situation and new task.

　　The comprehensive group of joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council optimized the implementation of the "New Ten Articles" of epidemic prevention and control, and accelerated the Covid-19 vaccination for the elderly. The Central Economic Work Conference just held also proposed that we should optimize epidemic prevention and control measures according to the current situation, conscientiously implement various measures for epidemic prevention and control in the new stage, focus on the prevention and control of the elderly and groups suffering from basic diseases, and strive to maintain health and prevent severe diseases.

　　Why should we emphasize the necessity of vaccination for the elderly? Does vaccination work? Is vaccination safe? The reporter launched an investigation on the front line of epidemic prevention and control.

　　On December 15th, at the COVID-19 Vaccination Point in Zhongguancun Street, Haidian District, Beijing, medical staff vaccinated the elderly with COVID-19 vaccine. Xinhua News Agency reporter Ren Chaoshe

　　How necessary — — The defense line of the elderly group is relatively fragile.

　　Li Cuiwen, 78, lives in a remote village in the central province. Children are all in the city. On weekdays, they send rice flour oil, and the vegetables are grown in their own fields. They go to the town to catch a gathering once a month.

　　"I can’t see outsiders." Li Cuiwen and his wife have not been vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine so far. "Is everyone fighting, even if we don’t fight, we can’t infect us?"

　　Li Cuiwen is not the only one who has similar questions. In this regard, Xia Gang, director of the Department of Health and Immunity of the National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention, said that there are quite a few disabled and semi-disabled people in China who live at home for a long time and rarely go out, but they may still be infected when they are accompanied by relatives or visited by relatives.

　　Compared with the previous strains in Covid-19, the pathogenicity of Omicron is weakening, but the infectivity is becoming stronger. The extremely fast transmission speed is multiplied by China’s huge population base. Even if the severe illness rate and mortality rate are already very low, the number of people at risk should not be underestimated.

　　During the epidemic in Shanghai from March to June this year, compared with those who were not vaccinated, the death risk of people over 60 years old who completed the booster immunization was reduced by 98.08%, and that of people over 80 years old who completed the booster immunization was reduced by 95.83%.

　　At the press conference of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held recently, Xia Gang introduced that according to the research, if the elderly over 80 years old are not vaccinated with one dose of vaccine, the risk of death after being infected with Covid-19 is about 14.7%; If one dose of vaccine is inoculated, the risk of death will be reduced to 7.16%; If three doses of vaccine are inoculated, the risk of death will be reduced to 1.5%.

　　"I strongly call for accelerating the vaccination of vaccines, especially for vulnerable people such as the elderly." Zhong Nanshan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, said.

　　On December 15th, two groups of communities were prepared in Kangmei Street, Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, and the medical staff of the community health service center checked the information of the elderly who had been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Weishe

　　How effective is it — — Survey data show that the risk of severe illness can be greatly reduced.

　　In Chongqing, Zhang, an 84-year-old rehabilitation patient, told reporters that he suffered from many basic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. He completed the third dose of vaccination in July this year and was infected with Covid-19 in November. After treatment, his condition was effectively controlled and he has been discharged.

　　On December 16th, in the home of residents in Honghe Road Community, Zhongshan Road Street, Yongchuan District, Chongqing, the mobile vaccination team conducted pre-vaccination consultation and physical examination for the vaccinated elderly. Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Weishe

　　"Studies at home and abroad confirm that vaccination has a good effect in preventing serious illness and death." Xia Gang said that after being infected with Covid-19, the elderly are more likely to develop into severe illness or even death, and Covid-19 vaccine will benefit the most.

　　At most, beijing ditan hospital has treated more than 100 COVID-19 patients over 80 years old. Chen Xiaoyou, vice president of the hospital, said that the vaccination rate of these elderly patients is generally low, and the incidence of severe illness after illness is relatively high, especially in COVID-19, which is aggravated by basic diseases.

　　COVID-19 Designated Treatment Hospital in Hefei — — Ding Zhen, director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Hefei Binhu Hospital, told the reporter: "For some elderly people with basic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, Covid-19 infection may aggravate the inflammatory reaction in the body, aggravate the condition of the basic diseases, and even lead to multiple organ failure."

　　Ding Zhen introduced that from the observation of their clinical treatment, the elderly who have been vaccinated are less likely to get worse and the time required for nucleic acid to turn negative is shorter.

　　In October, 2022, The Lancet Infectious Diseases published a research result based on the real-world vaccination population, which was released by the relevant research team of School of Public Health, Li Ka-shing Medical College, HKU. The study shows that the effective rate of preventing severe illness is about 70% for the elderly over 60 years old who are vaccinated with two injections of domestic inactivated vaccine, and the effective rate of preventing severe illness is over 95% after the third injection of intensive immunization.

　　On December 13th, in the Community Health Service Center of Baihedong Street, Liwan District, Guangzhou, medical staff made information entry and consultation for the elderly residents who came to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Xinhua News Agency reporter Deng Hua photo

　　Security geometry — — Make clear the taboo of vaccination and ensure safety to the greatest extent.

　　In the past few days, in Huanghuagang Street, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, the average number of elderly people who take the initiative to consult and make an appointment for vaccination has exceeded 300, which is significantly higher than usual.

　　Yu Shu and Ye Yi, who live in Nongben community, had concerns about vaccination because of their basic diseases. After many door-to-door publicity by community workers and volunteers, Ye Yi was vaccinated under the health monitoring of doctors, and there were no adverse reactions. The next day, Uncle Yu also completed the vaccination. "Now I know that the previous concerns are redundant."

　　On December 12th, in Guanggang New Town, Liwan District, Guangzhou, elderly residents got off the convenient vaccination vehicle after receiving COVID-19 vaccine. Xinhua News Agency reporter Deng Hua photo

　　The reporter found in many places that the enthusiasm of the elderly for vaccination has improved significantly recently, but some elderly people are still worried about the safety of vaccines. Many elderly people admitted to reporters that they were mainly worried that "they are old and have basic diseases, which will bring adverse reactions after vaccination".

　　"Chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are not absolute taboos for vaccination in Covid-19. As long as these chronic diseases are well controlled and in a stable period, Covid-19 vaccine can be vaccinated." Zheng Zhongwei, director of the Science and Technology Development Center of the National Health and Wellness Commission and head of the working group of the vaccine research and development special class of the the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism, said.

　　According to the situation of vaccine research and development and the practice of vaccination, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council has defined the vaccination taboos of the elderly in the Work Plan for Strengthening Covid-19 Vaccination for the Elderly, including four types of situations in which vaccination cannot be carried out or postponed. At the same time, local health departments should implement the "four haves" requirement that vaccination units should have emergency personnel stationed in general hospitals with level 2 or above, emergency equipment and medicines, 120 ambulances on duty, and green channels for treatment in general hospitals with level 2 or above to ensure vaccination safety.

　　Step by step to carry out training on judging vaccination contraindications, and guide medical staff to scientifically judge vaccination contraindications; Well-known doctors from various specialties were transferred to form a vaccination consultation expert group to patiently answer various consultation questions … … Many places are refining the work of answering questions and doubts to eliminate the doubts of vaccination for the elderly to the greatest extent.

　　How convenient is it — — The "last 100 meters" is constantly getting through.

　　Every Tuesday and Saturday afternoon, it is the day when the "Medical Qingqi Team" comes to the door for vaccination in Pingguoyuan Street, Shijingshan District, Beijing. The "Medical Qingqi Team" consists of 5 to 6 street, community workers and medical staff, and is divided into two groups, each group can enter about 12 households.

　　"Conduct a health assessment first, ask the elderly whether they have basic diseases, look at past medical history, etc., and confirm whether the elderly are suitable for vaccination." Luo Yan, one of the medical staff of the "Medical Qingqi Team" and the medical department of Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said, "After the assessment, we will further communicate with our family members, and after the family members agree, they will sign an informed consent form and vaccinate."

　　Similar situations have appeared in many places recently. A special session of Covid-19 vaccination was held in Jinbi Yayuan Community, Baiyun District, Guangzhou. 63-year-old Ms. Liu suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. The medical staff inquired about her physical indicators in detail. After assessing that she met the vaccination requirements, she was instructed to take the third shot of vaccine.

　　On December 10th, He Lingling (left), a nurse from Fangmiao Street Community Health Service Center, vaccinated the elderly in the community with COVID-19 vaccine at COVID-19 vaccination site in Yaohai District, Hefei. Xinhua News Agency reporter Guo Chenshe

　　Li Zizhen, director of the immunization room of the Community Health Service Center of Dongcheng Sub-district Office in jieshou city, Anhui Province, told the reporter that twenty or thirty elderly people have come to get Covid-19 vaccine every day recently, and the telephone number for consultation is also from morning till night. A mobile door-to-door vaccination service team was set up in the local area, equipped with first-aid equipment and medicines, and came to the door at any time.

　　Set up green channels for the elderly, temporary inoculation points and mobile inoculation vehicles; Medical staff with rich experience in diagnosis, treatment and vaccination are selected to form vaccination teams, carrying common equipment and medicines needed during post-vaccination observation, and providing home vaccination services for disabled and semi-disabled elderly people … … Many places are optimizing various convenience measures as required, and getting through the "last 100 meters" for the elderly.

　　For the country’s 267 million elderly people over the age of 60, every 1 percentage point increase in vaccination rate means that more than 2 million people have built a barrier against serious illness and death. "The Spring Festival is coming, and now vaccination usually takes half a month to be effective, which is of great benefit to prevent large-scale spread when people go home and a large number of people migrate during the Spring Festival in Spring Festival travel rush." Zhong Nanshan said.

On the afternoon of March 28th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference to introduce the vaccination and supply guarantee in COVID-19. As of March 27th, 2021, 102.417 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine have been reported in various places.

About COVID-19 vaccine, the conference also introduced these latest news.

1. What should I do if I am not sure if I am suitable for vaccination?

If it really belongs to the vaccination taboo, it is impossible to provide vaccination services. If it is listed in the vaccination items, it is recommended to tell the vaccination doctor truthfully before vaccination. So that doctors can fully evaluate and determine whether it is suitable for vaccination.

2. How long is the vaccine protection period?

COVID-19 vaccine is a new vaccine. According to the antibody level, it will be monitored for more than six months. But we also know that antibody is not the only protective indicator, and there are other factors in the process of vaccine’s function. Therefore, we should do relevant research on the persistence of the vaccine to confirm how long its protection period is.

3. I have been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. Do I need to be vaccinated again?

According to Zhongsheng of Sinopharm, during the whole clinical research, it is now observed that the persistence of vaccine protection is about half a year, and the persistence of neutralizing antibodies is also about half a year. In the clinical process of the overall design, the booster needle was designed to observe the persistence and protection level of antibodies. At present, the preliminary results show that booster needle can effectively improve the titer of neutralizing antibodies, effectively improve the persistence of antibodies, and also effectively improve the anti-mutation ability of vaccines.

In the future, phase III clinical research will be carried out overseas to continuously observe the persistence of antibodies and protection. Is it necessary to carry out booster vaccination? When will you call? Still have to answer according to the results of the next three clinical studies.

4. What is the preventive effect of COVID-19 vaccine?

The vaccine itself can prevent infection, morbidity, severe illness and death. Now, the effectiveness result we get is the result of our clinical experiment. With the application of the vaccine, we will also carry out related research on its protective effect after marketing.

5. How to ensure the supply of vaccines in COVID-19?

On the one hand, actively and steadily expand the vaccination service capacity, optimize the vaccine distribution process, and improve the efficiency of circulation and operation. To scientifically arrange the turnover quantity of vaccines, the requirement is not to overstock the inventory, and to increase the number of inoculation points and inoculation stations in various ways to meet the vaccination needs of the masses. On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the linkage between departments and coordinate the industrial and information departments to strengthen the supply guarantee of vaccines.

6. After the first injection, how long is the best time to inject the second injection?

After the first dose of vaccination, the interval between the second dose of vaccination should be greater than or equal to three weeks, and the second dose of vaccination should be completed as soon as possible within 8 weeks after the first dose of vaccine.

7. If you catch up with a business trip or go out, can you get a second shot in a different place?

According to the guidelines, it is recommended to use the varieties of the same enterprise as much as possible to complete two doses of vaccination. If the same variety is not available in different places, then other vaccine products of the same kind can be replaced to complete two doses of vaccination.

Effective period

8. If I miss the second dose of vaccination for some reason, how can I make it up?

For those who have not completed 2 or 3 doses of COVID-19 vaccine according to the procedure, it is suggested to replant as soon as possible. There is no need to restart the immunization program, just replant and complete the corresponding dose.

9. Some vaccine developers have been vaccinated in February and March last year. What are the antibodies in these people?

Some people, as the vanguard of vaccines, have been vaccinated with inactivated vaccines in COVID-19. We are constantly monitoring the change data of antibodies in their bodies. At present, we have obtained the antibody monitoring data for 9 months. Judging from the current data, the antibodies in 9 months still have a certain level. We will continue to strengthen monitoring in the future.

10. Will foreign virus variation affect the effectiveness of existing vaccines?

Vaccine research and development units and production units pay great attention to dealing with the variation problem. Two inactivated vaccines of Sinopharm Group China Bio, using the serum after the second and third clinical trials at home and abroad, have carried out cross-comprehensive experiments on the strains found in South Africa and Britain, as well as more than 10 strains found in different regions and epidemic areas in China. The results show that neutralizing antibodies produced by the two inactivated vaccines have a good neutralizing effect on these strains. Small variation of the virus will not affect the antigenicity of the vaccine, that is, the vaccine will be effective without variation of protective antigen, especially the whole virus inactivated vaccine.

11. How to advance the national plan for vaccination of the elderly?

At present, Beijing, Shanghai and other regions have been vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccine for some elderly people over 60 years old and patients with chronic diseases who are willing to be vaccinated and in good physical condition under the premise of fully evaluating the health status and infection risk of the vaccinated objects. In the next step, we will actively and steadily promote the vaccination of people over 60 years old and patients with chronic diseases in combination with the use effect of vaccines in large-scale populations.

12. When will people under the age of 18 be vaccinated?

Last year, the phase I/II clinical research conducted by China Bio in Henan covered the systematic, safe and immunogenic clinical research of the young age group of 3-17 years old. At present, the safety data of this age group have been completely obtained, and the expected results have been achieved. The detection of immunogenicity and neutralizing antibodies has also been completed. We will communicate with the Food and Drug Administration in the near future, and I believe that this group of people can be covered in the near future.

Original title: "12 questions about COVID-19 vaccine, look at the answer"

Read the original text

　　Recently, the report that "domestic down jacket sold for 7000 yuan" attracted attention. As a clothing manufacturer and trader, Meng Zhuo is puzzled by this.

　　"Some high-priced situations are marked, and there are often discounts when actually selling." Meng Zhuo opened the e-commerce platform on his mobile phone and said, "You see that some of them have a price tag of 2,000 yuan, and after the discount, it will be 129 yuan."

　　In his long-term experience, the price of conventional down jackets has not risen for many years, and even showed a downward trend in the price war of involution. The prediction of this year’s warm winter also made the down jacket not rebound obviously when the consumption recovery was not as good as expected.

　　To this end, the first financial reporter conducted an investigation and interview, and the suppliers of winter clothes told the truth: the price tag is not the actual price, and the high price is not the price increase.

　　There is no price increase for the regular basic model.

　　Pu Xiaojuan, deputy general manager of Suzhou Fannuo Textile Co., Ltd., has the same feelings as Meng Zhuo. "The cheap down jacket brand, the overall pricing this year is similar to last year." She told CBN that the sales of most brands in various time periods are discounted, and in the end, they must cater to the psychology of the market. The general actual price cannot be ridiculously high.

　　Suzhou Fannuo Textile Co., Ltd. mainly supplies fabrics for high-end down jacket brands. Pu Xiaojuan said that in terms of fabrics, the price of conventional fabrics has not risen, which is basically the same as last year. The affordable e-commerce and lightweight down jackets corresponding to these conventional fabrics sold well in previous years, but this year they only lasted for a week and ended. The total amount is not as good as in previous years, and there is naturally no motivation for price increases.

　　"The price of down jackets sold domestically is basically more than five times the actual price. Some e-commerce platforms are even cheaper. " Meng Zhuo said that in proportion, light down jackets have accounted for the majority of sales in recent years, and they are also one of the most commonly bought winter clothes by ordinary consumers. The price of this kind of clothing has never risen in the context of rising global prices.

　　Wu Dongming, the person in charge of Hengxin Weaving Co., Ltd. told CBN that the price of the basic down jacket fabric has not changed. "It basically can’t go up, even if it has gone up slightly recently, it may only make the enterprise lose a little."

　　The person in charge of Jiangsu Tianwei Textile also admitted that from the overall supply, the market demand this year is lower than expected. In terms of price, "basically, it can’t go up unless new products and old products are reduced in price."

　　Taking into account the shelf life of the market, Meng Zhuo said that for manufacturing factories, the export orders for down jackets have been delivered this winter, and overseas sales are coming to an end in November, as is the case in China. "After New Year’s Day, there are basically few people who buy them … … Needless to say, the factory for domestic sales has basically slowed down at present, mainly supplying small-scale replenishment orders.

　　That is to say, on the one hand, the tag price is not the actual price, on the other hand, the high price on the market today is only some high-end or differentiated products, which does not correspond to the "general increase" of the industry — — A large number of conventional affordable clothing and even raw materials have not seen price increases.

　　Hu Kehua, deputy director of the Social Responsibility Office of China National Textile and Apparel Council, told CBN that the overall global economy was tired, and even though the China market was stable as a whole, there was no obvious improvement in terms of the prices of fabrics and clothing. Recently, the lower-priced down jackets have ushered in some sales due to the approaching cold wave, which has led to certain price increase expectations at the end of down and other materials.

　　Supply chain behind high price

　　"Last year, the same thing sold more expensive this year, but this year’s things are different from many before. (The pricing of different products is different) is not called price increase." Zhou Jianchun, general manager of Wujiang Shengwei Bauhinia Textile Co., Ltd. told CBN. Zhou Jianchun, who is also a fabric supplier of down jackets, thinks that the word "material" can describe their products more accurately than fabric. Because the material of down jacket now goes beyond the scope of traditional fabrics, it emphasizes more and more the sense of science and technology and new functions, and also incorporates materials such as nano-breathable film, volcanic materials and parachutes.

　　Wu Dongming also mentioned that there is no change in the basic model, and the price is increased by the deep-processed materials. "The fabrics used in winter clothes such as down jackets this year are completely different."

　　Pu Xiaojuan said that this year’s hot-selling and high-priced down jackets are mainly those with certain scientific and technological content and partial functionality. This is also the differentiation strategy pursued by brands in recent years in order to seize the mid-to high-end market. Correspondingly, it is the change of consumer demand — — From the original emphasis on warmth and appearance style, it has become more and more functional and scientific, and is willing to pay for it.

　　Zhou Jianchun also said that consumers’ demand for clothing has changed obviously, and the pursuit of technology and functionality of a garment has become a new fashion trend. "This year, the fabrics of the technology series and the corresponding down jackets sell particularly well."

　　"In the past few years, the prices of some conventional down jackets went down, and the involution was seriously playing a price war. However, the prices of down jackets of some brands have been raised all the time, and it is true that things have been done better. " Zhou Jianchun thinks that 70% of the differentiated competition of brands comes from the difference of fabrics, and "more functional and technological fabrics are needed to meet the needs of the consumer market". More functional needs to be realized by science and technology. For example, some down jacket materials can not only prevent wind, store heat and keep warm, but also prevent dirt and oil. When the materials originally used in parachutes are used in clothing, the strength can be improved by more than 1.5 times compared with the traditional ones. A nano-scale film can let water vapor out, but liquid water can’t enter, and at the same time, it has the functions of perspiration, ventilation and waterproof.

　　In addition to functionality and technology, under the global trend of low carbon, high-priced down jackets and fabrics usually need low-carbon environmental protection and renewable elements. These are directly reflected in the product structure, order volume and profit rate of the supply chain.

　　"We started this year, and the conventional lining materials are all renewable materials." Pu Xiaojuan said that today’s materials must have their own characteristics, and they cannot follow the crowd. Those traditional homogeneous materials are highly competitive and have little profit. To this end, since 2019, they have given up their original customers and conventional products, added independent R&D and sample management teams, changed the passive mode of doing development with business, and actively transformed into renewable and technological fabrics. After several years of running-in, they have also gained a doubling of the order amount in these two years. "This year’s orders are expected to increase by 1.75 times, and last year’s increased by 1.2 times." Prior to this, the annual orders were almost flat.

　　Traditional fabrics are declining instead of increasing, but for Pu Xiaojuan, the price of their new materials is more than 30% higher than that of conventional fabrics, which is a rise in volume and price. "Some friends’ enterprises also achieved the performance of last year in August this year."

　　Pu Xiaojuan revealed that they have a vest heating lining jointly developed, and one meter of cloth can be used on several down jackets. The recent orders have been added. "The original order should have ended in October, and now the scale of replenishment has doubled. A domestic brand of this down jacket may have sold more than 1 million pieces. "

　　Zhou Jianchun said that the company’s overall sales this year were the same as last year, but the sales increased by more than 30%. "The price of some (new) fabrics is 2-3 times that of the conventional ones".

　　Jiangnan, head of Romulan Group Outdoor New Materials Co., Ltd., told CBN that since 85% of the company’s orders are mainly for export, this year is inevitably affected by geopolitical and weak market factors. "Originally (this year’s sales) were expected to increase by 20% this year, but the actual forecast is only 8%." However, this growth is in the case of constant quantity, which also means that the price has been significantly improved because of the innovative transformation of outdoor fabrics and the introduction of new products.

　　Not only the high-end functional down jackets, but also the changes in the market and supply chain have made outdoor-related jackets sell better this year. "Many listed textile companies may not meet the overall performance standards, but the related sales of jackets are good". However, Jiangnan believes that, like down jackets with functions such as coping with extreme cold, this kind of clothing is a product with a small customer base in scale, and it is also a high-end subdivision that is less affected by the transfer of traditional textile and clothing production capacity.

　　Whether it is clothing or material manufacturing, another motivation to support high prices lies in branding. As enterprises in China pay more and more attention to brand building, the polarization of the consumer market will become more and more obvious.

　　"Now more and more brands and garment manufacturers are using the design concept of Chinese and foreign integration, and at the same time, they are more and more concerned about the brand effect, which will be expensive." Jiangnan feels that, more accurately, brands have brought about an increase in the added value of products, and there will be two extremes in the future — — Cheaper and more expensive.

　　Zhou Jianchun said that, like clothing brands, the development and transformation of fabric enterprises also need brand building, and in recent years, with the brand transformation of local industrial chain and the introduction of designers, they have also achieved certain brand effects, which is one of the reasons for raising prices. "Some similar fabrics can be sold a little more expensive than their peers."

　　In terms of design and style, Wu Dongming said that Chinese style elements have also become popular recently.

　　Regarding industrial transfer, Jiangnan pointed out that compared with Southeast Asia, China’s manufacturing industry still has certain advantages. First, the demographic dividend is not as good as before, but it still exists. Secondly, the completeness of China’s industrial chain is the most important reason, especially the functional fabric and clothing innovation, which takes time and experience to accumulate. Thirdly, China has a vast domestic market. Even if the export uncertainty increases, it can find a greater balance in the two-legged walk of domestic and foreign trade. Therefore, in addition to adapting to changes in market demand and brand transformation, they will also make a more rational global layout.

Original title: The anti-epidemic documentary film Days and Nights in Wuhan shocked the audience by showing the heroic city war epidemic story in Han Dynasty.

Record life with life, and create a heroic hymn of ordinary people. The first domestic anti-epidemic documentary film co-produced by the Propaganda Department of Hubei Provincial Party Committee, Film Channel and Hubei Radio and Television Station held a special screening ceremony for Hubei media at Kaide 1818 Lumiere Cinema in Wuchang on the afternoon of 16th. During the epidemic in COVID-19 at the beginning of last year, the photojournalist of Changjiang Daily was always on the front line of anti-epidemic, and his work was selected as the material for the anti-epidemic documentary film Days and Nights in Wuhan. More than a dozen Hubei media reporters, representatives of some hospitals and communities in Wuhan, and some filming teams that provided materials for Days and Nights in Wuhan watched the film.

Not a voice-over, not a line.

Sun Tzu recited Tang poems to cheer up his grandfather in the intensive care unit; The husband cried in front of the camera, saying that his wife wanted to live and made delicious food and sent it to the hospital. Medical couples in Jinyintan Hospital spend the night in the car outside the hospital to avoid infecting their families … …

There is no popular actor and no designed acting skills. Every character and story in Days and Nights in Wuhan comes from the real record at the peak of Wuhan epidemic last year. The film was shot by more than 30 photographers in several hospitals, and many shots went deep into the intensive care unit. The audience could see scenes that they could not see at ordinary times: medical staff feeding patients, changing medicine, turning over and scrubbing their bodies, including surgery and rescue.

The camera was also aimed at the patients’ families and volunteers outside the hospital. They also fought to win time for the patients’ recovery and the smooth delivery of pregnant women. These pictures have no processing or rendering, and truly show the real picture of people fighting the epidemic in a city.

The most touching picture in the film is that just after a patient was sent away, a little life came into this world crying. This is the alternation of death and life, which is the continuation of life hope. The birth of a little life also smeared a bunch of bright colors for the world.

Dozens of times in the film, the images of Wuhan city were inserted, from the initial dark clouds, to the bright lights in the three towns during the joint fight against the epidemic, to the turning of Wuhan into safety when cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Raindrops from the Yellow Crane Tower, lonely cyclists on the Yangtze River Bridge, birds on the branches of hospitals, and the streets and alleys in Wuhan seemed to all talk, telling that our city was in a critical moment, we were United as one, we were fighting, and we would surely defeat the virus.

More than 1000 hours of precious materials, 30 first-line photographers of war and epidemic, recorded their lives with their lives, and created heroic hymns of ordinary people. The film didn’t use a voice-over or write a line. Everything is extremely real, and it conveys more love and warmth, which is to cherish our hard-won happy life now.

"Delicate restraint, gentle telling", "plain with the power to hit people’s hearts", "the lens language is full of beauty" and "the real record is better than the top performance" … … Many people expressed such admiration after watching it.

The medical staff looked down with tears all the time.

"The whole process was seen with tears. The camera language brought me to that moment last year, when my colleagues and I joined hands to die. Seeing the medical staff in the movie, I also saw my colleagues and I were there. "

After the screening, Chen Sheng, a doctor’s representative from Wuhan No.7 Hospital, said that the most impressive scene was the baby’s first cry in the morning, which suddenly pulled his heart up. At that time, his tears could not stop flowing downwards, because it represented new life and hope.

Chen Sheng’s colleague, Dr. Chen Huifang, said that she also watched it with tears in her eyes. This film brought her back to the difficult period of fighting the encounter. She saw the figure of her colleague and the story of the heroic Wuhan people. What moved her in particular was to see an old man in the film who remained optimistic, strong and humorous after more than ten days of treatment, and the scene of the birth of a newborn. The tenacity of life made her shed tears.

Yao Shanglong, the chief physician from Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital, is not only an anti-epidemic fighter, but also a person who recovered from COVID-19 infection. After watching Days and Nights in Wuhan, Yao Shanglong said with emotion that he spent more than 30 days and nights in the ward a year ago. He saw not only doctors but also patients. He experienced volunteers driving him home and community staff serving him, which fully demonstrated that Wuhan is a heroic city. This epidemic is ruthless, but there is love in the world, which fully embodies the spirit of great love of Wuhan people. It will be difficult for everyone in 2020, and everyone will be great.

What the film gives him is objective, real and touching, with life and death in it, but it gives people positive energy, the optimism of our medical staff and our patients, and the support of our family and all walks of life. During his stay in hospital, it was these that made Yao Shanglong finally overcome his illness.

The film Days and Nights in Wuhan uses a lot of video materials from Tan Haiyan’s team of Hubei Radio and Television Station. After watching the screening, Tan Haiyan and photographers Wu Qin and Wang Wei were interviewed. Tan Haiyan said that this is the fourth time she has watched a film. What is different this time is that she watched it in the cinema for the first time. The fourth time I saw her, I still shed tears. The scene that made her cry was that the film changed from the first act to the second act, which was the empty mirror of Wuhan city. It’s so beautiful. She knows that it’s not easy for all the heroes of Wuhan people to be behind this beauty. It’s only after 76 days of fighting that we got such a beautiful night scene. (Reporter: Wan Jianhui)
