Yesterday morning, the US government announced a list of proposed tax increases on China, involving China’s exports to the US of about $50 billion.

　　In the afternoon, with the approval of the State Council, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council decided to impose a 25% tariff on 106 items in 14 categories, such as soybeans, automobiles and chemicals originating in the United States, involving China’s imports from the United States of about 50 billion dollars. (List attached at the end of the article)

　　Soybeans, automobiles and airplanes … … Hit where it hurts, and be afraid of what will come … … What do foreign media think of China’s sword?

　　Bloomberg: Soybeans hit the "seven inches" of the United States with one move.

　　Bloomberg published an article saying that China’s list was aimed at the Rural Heartland of the United States, and hit the nail on the head.

　　The article states that China’s imposition of tariffs on soybean imports from the United States not only has its economic significance, but will also have an impact on American politics:

　　“China’ s response carries both economic and political weight as agricultural states are major supporting regions for Trump,” said Monica Tu, an analyst at Shanghai JC Intelligence Co. “The tariffs on U.S. imports including soybeans is China’ s response that matches the scale of proposed U.S. tariffs.”

　　“The agricultural state is Trump’s ticket warehouse., therefore,China’s counterattack against the United States not only has its economic significance, but also will have an impact on its politics."Monica Tu, an analyst with Shanghai Huiyi Consulting Co., Ltd., said," China imposes taxes on American imports, including soybeans, which gives the United States a counterattack on the scale of the tariffs it intends to impose on China. "

　　Many media believe that rural voters have played a great role in promoting Trump’s election. Therefore, counterattacking agricultural products will hit Trump’s ticket warehouse.

　　Hmm … … Remember that little peasant brother who paid for his own TV to persuade Trump to stop? Poke video review ↓ ↓ ↓

　　In this 30-second commercial, an Indian soybean farmer named Brent Bai Bo said:

　　"China is our biggest soybean customer, which makes us very vulnerable. My farm, as well as the farms of many other people like me, will be the first victim in this trade war. "

　　As soon as the list came out, the farmers expressed disappointment … …

　　I live in rural northwest Pennsylvania … China has imposed tariffs on our products, and farmers who once supported Trump will be injured again … … I told my friends not to vote for Trump, but they wouldn’t listen. Oh, it’s so speechless … …

　　In addition, the article also pointed out that American soybeans may not be the only choice for China:

　　While the U.S. counts China as its biggest soybean market, the Asian country last year bought more of the oilseed from Brazil. Bloomberg reported in February that China was studying the impact of restricting s oybean imports in retaliation for U.S. tariffs on washing machines and solar panels.

　　The United States regards China as the largest soybean market, while China imported more soybeans from Brazil last year. According to a report by Bloomberg in February, China was studying to restrict the import of soybeans from the United States in order to retaliate against the tariffs imposed by the United States on washing machines and solar panels imported from China.

　　“This will obviously benefit Brazilian exporters,” said Warren Patterson, a commodity strategist at Dutch bank ING Groep NV. “They will be licking their lips right now.”

　　Warren Patterson, strategist at ABN Amro, said: "Brazilian exporters are bound to get a lot of benefits. They must be impatient now."

　　Reuters: Which is better on the list? China is quick and ruthless.

　　Reuters issued a document saying that China’s list was swift and forceful:

　　Just 11 hours after President Donald Trump’ s administration proposed 25 percent tariffs on some 1,300 Chinese industrial, technology, transport and medical products, China shot back with a list of similar duties on major American imports including soybeans, planes, cars, beef and chemicals.

　　Trump imposed a 25% tariff on 1,300 China industries, technology, transportation and medicine.Just 11 hours later,China responded with an equivalent list to major US imports including soybeans, airplanes, automobiles, beef and chemicals.

　　The article said that if the United States is targeting "Made in China 2025", then China’s list of representative export products (signature U.S. exports) is really accurate:

　　Washington’ s list was filled with many obscure industrial items, but China’ s struck at signature U.S. exports, including soybeans, frozen beef, cotton and other agricultural commodities produced in states from Iowa to Texas that voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

　　The American list includes many insignificant industrial products, butChina taxes representative American exports., including soybeans, frozen beef, cotton and other agricultural commodities. The producing States of these agricultural products are Iowa, Texas and other regions that voted for Trump in 2016.

　　The list extends to tobacco and whiskey, both produced in states including Kentucky, home of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, like Trump a Republican.

　　The list of states producing tobacco and whisky includes Kentucky, which is the hometown of Mitch McConnell, a leading US Senate official, who is from the Republican Party like Trump.

　　CNN: China doesn’t really want to start a trade war, but it is not afraid of war.

　　CNN published an article entitled "China retaliates by imposing tariffs on American planes, cars and soybeans".

　　Among them, the article quoted experts as saying,China’s real intention this time is to bring the US back to the negotiating table, instead of plunging the two sides into a trade war:

　　Experts said Beijing’s latest announcement could be an effort to push the United States into negotiating a deal to defuse the trade spat.

　　China’s latest counterattack may be in the hope that the United States can return to the negotiating table and settle the trade dispute.

　　"The true purpose is not to escalate it to a trade war, but to demonstrate no weakness," said Aidan Yao, an economist at fund management firm Axa Investment Managers.

　　Aidan Yao, an economist at Sheng ‘an Group in France, said, "China’s real intention is not to escalate the friction into a trade war, but to show that it is not weak."

　　Trump sent a Twitter response for the first time after the "trade war"!

　　Yesterday, Trump sent his first tweet after the "trade war" … …

　　"We didn’t have a trade war with China. This war was lost many years ago by those stupid and incompetent people who represented the United States at that time. Now we have a trade deficit of 500 billion dollars a year, and another 300 billion dollars of intellectual property rights have been stolen. We can’t let this go on! "

　　No trade war? Then what is your list for the left round of investigation and the right round of investigation?

　　A netizen took a picture of Bloomberg’s S&P 500 index and said,"yes,We did not have a trade war."

　　We did not have a trade war.

　　Some netizens told Trump directly, wake up … … This is a trade war, okay?

　　We are fighting a trade war, which is why the stock market is falling. Wall Street should finally realize that they are supporting the wrong person.

　　For this tweet, CNN said that Trump is converging and rounding up:

　　President Donald Trump on Wednesday tried to tamp down economic anxieties over tariffs recently announced by China and the United States.

　　On April 4, President TrumpTrying to calm the economic panic caused by Sino-US tariff friction.

　　Later, he added angrily:

　　When you have lost 500 billion dollars, you can’t lose!

　　CNN explained that this $500 billion is obviously an overvalued US trade deficit with China:

　　The President was apparently referring to a deficit of $506 billion in Chinese exports to the US in 2017. Overall, however, the US trade deficit with China is closer to $337 billion when factoring in goods and services, according to figures provided by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.

　　Trump obviously refers to the US$ 506 billion trade deficit with China in 2017. However, according to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the deficit, including goods and services, is close to $337 billion.

　　It seems to remind Trump that the CNN article pointed out thatYou started this yourself.… …

　　Trump’s proclamations come amid a tit-for-tat on trade restrictions that he decided to engage in.

　　The background of Trump’s remarks is a tit-for-tat trade restriction between China and the United States, which he decided to get involved in.

　　The US Secretary of Commerce said that the trade friction between the two countries may turn into negotiations:

　　U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on Wednesday said he expects trade actions between the United States and China will likely lead to a negotiated deal.

　　The US Secretary of Commerce said on the 4th that,The trade friction between China and the United States may eventually turn into negotiations.

　　“It wouldn’ t be surprising at all if the net outcome of all this is some sort of a negotiation,” Ross told CNBC in an interview.

　　Ross said in an interview with CNBC: "I wouldn’t be surprised if the trade friction between the two countries eventually turns into negotiations."

At present, the output of electric vehicle batteries from China factory accounts for nearly three quarters of the global output, and occupies a dominant position in processing rare earth elements (such as oxides, metals and magnets used in batteries) with a market share of 90%.

With the further consolidation of China’s leading position in the global new energy technology supply chain, three domestic electric vehicle battery and material companies are seeking a new round of market financing of more than 10 billion US dollars, which will exceed the funds invested by the United States, South Korea, Australia and other countries in the same field.

Last week, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL), the global leader in power batteries, completed a huge increase. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (300750. SZ) announced on June 22nd that the fixed issue price was 410 yuan per share, and the total amount of funds raised was nearly RMB 45 billion. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited is an important battery supplier for Tesla and domestic automobile manufacturers (such as Geely). According to the data of Financial Times and Luft Refinitiv, including the latest bulk stock issue, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited has raised about $13 billion, or about 89 billion yuan, since its listing in Shenzhen in 2018.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (300750.SZ) stock chart.

In the aforementioned financing, foreign investors have also joined in, including JPMorgan Chase, Barclays Bank, Morgan Stanley, Macquarie Bank and HSBC, accounting for about 32% of the total issuance.

Neil Beveridge, a senior analyst at Bernstein, a Wall Street investment bank, said that China is positioning itself as the "Saudi Arabia" in the field of new energy technology and hardware, becoming the lowest-cost supplier in the world and striving for the most market share.

According to some investors, Tianqi Lithium Industry (002466.SZ), which is listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange, plans to list on Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the second time, with the target of raising 1 billion to 2 billion US dollars. Tianqi Lithium Industry is one of the world’s largest suppliers of new energy core materials for lithium batteries. According to data from research institute Dealogic, this will be the largest financing of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this year. Since the beginning of June, Tianqi Lithium’s share price in Shenzhen Stock Exchange has soared by more than 21%.

Huayou Cobalt (603799.SH), another large domestic raw material supplier listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, announced on June 19th that it would raise no more than 1.77 million yuan through non-public offering of shares. Most of the funds will be used for the wet process project of nickel hydroxide and cobalt with an annual output of 120,000 tons of nickel metal, which is a joint venture of Huayou Cobalt in Indonesia. Indonesia Huashan Nickel Co., Ltd. mainly processes and manufactures nickel, the key material of electric vehicle batteries, in Indonesia. Trafigura, a trading company, said that more than 90% of the world’s battery-grade lithium is produced by China smelters, which are also responsible for processing most of the world’s cobalt, nickel and other key battery materials.

The Financial Times reported that other countries are also trying to narrow the gap. The United States recently signed a $120 million agreement with Australian rare earth merchant Lynas Rare Earths to build one of the first heavy rare earth separation facilities in the United States. In February this year, the Australian government provided a loan of US$ 100 million to Hastings Technology Materials to develop rare earth mines and smelters in Western Australia.

According to Bernstein, a Wall Street investment bank, with the increasing demand for electric vehicles, the global battery capacity is expected to increase by 40% every year by 2025, from 823 GWh in 2021 to 3252 GWh. As the United States and Europe further increase subsidies for local electric vehicle battery manufacturing, the market share of China’s electric vehicle battery capacity may decline slightly. However, it is predicted that by 2025, China’s share will still account for about two-thirds, Europe’s share is expected to expand from 15% to 20%, the United States’ share is expected to expand from 8% to 12%, and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited will continue to maintain its global market share of 20%.

In addition, although the market share of China’s electric vehicle battery capacity will drop slightly, the cost advantage will be further highlighted. At present, the unit cost of building an electric vehicle battery factory in China is about $60 million per GW. However, with the rapid expansion of the factory scale, the cost will be reduced to about $50 million per GW in the next few years. In the next 10 years, the global average cost of building similar factories will be about $78 million per GW.

At present, South Korean companies, such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s competitors LG, South Korea’s SK Group and Samsung, rely as much as 60% on China’s key battery materials, and these companies are trying to reduce their dependence. However, Kia, a subsidiary of Hyundai, a South Korean automobile group, plans to use Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited batteries in a new electric vehicle model, which will mark the first time that batteries made in South Korea have entered the Korean market.

CCTV News:No.3 Labor News, the organ newspaper of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, published an article saying that North Korea will solemnly commemorate the Army Day this year.

The article said that February 8 this year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People’s Army. The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea made a decision last month to set February 8 as the Army Day of the Korean People’s Army, and said that relevant commemorative activities will be held every year.

The article said that celebrating the Army Day is the unanimous idea of the Korean military and civilians, and no one has the right to comment on it. It has become a common practice and common sense that no matter which country in the world attaches importance to the founding day of its own army and will hold relevant commemorative activities grandly.

The article said that it was unreasonable for some Korean media and conservatives to make irresponsible remarks about the commemoration of the Korean Army Day.

According to Korean Central News Agency’s previous report, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea issued a decision on January 22nd to designate February 8th as the Army Day of the Korean People’s Army. The report said that February 8, 1948 was the day when the birth of the Korean People’s Army was announced. The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea made the above decision to carry forward the revolutionary achievements of Kim Il Sung, the founder and builder of the Korean People’s Army.

North Korea suddenly changed the Army Day to Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Senior US official: No military parade

On January 31st, US Deputy Secretary of State Steven goldstein said that the United States hoped that North Korea would not hold a military parade on February 8th, the day before the opening of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. He also said that any American citizen who goes to this Winter Olympics can rest assured that South Korea has deployed a comprehensive security system, and the US government is giving support to South Korea in this regard.

An official of the the State Council Diplomatic Security Bureau said that about 100 US security personnel will be deployed at the US Embassy in South Korea and the Winter Olympics. American officials also said that they have not noticed any special threats at present and believe that South Korea has the ability to ensure the safety of the Winter Olympics. The 23rd Winter Olympic Games will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea from February 9 to 25. North Korea previously announced that February 8 will be designated as the Army Day of the Korean People’s Army.

40 years later, the Korean Army Day was changed back to February 8.

North Korea announced on January 23rd that the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the Workers’ Party of Korea, decided to set February 8th every year as the founding day of the Korean People’s Army, that is, the Army Day, and set April 25th as the founding day of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army, the predecessor of the People’s Army. This is North Korea’s rescheduling of the Army Day to February 8 after a lapse of 40 years.

The Korean Central News Agency reported that the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the Workers’ Party of Korea, issued a decision on the 22nd, saying that the two anniversaries were set up "to carry forward the revolutionary achievements of Comrade Kim Il Sung, the founder and builder of the Korean People’s Army".

The late Korean president Kim Il Sung formed an anti-Japanese guerrilla on April 25th, 1932, and later developed into the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army. According to the decision, this is the first revolutionary armed force formed by Kim Il Sung. On February 8, 1948, Kim Il Sung formed the Korean People’s Army with thousands of cadres and soldiers who participated in the armed struggle against Japan and passed the test of revolutionary struggle as the backbone. It is the direct successor of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army. The decision stated that Kim Il Sung strengthened and developed the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army into a regular revolutionary armed force and announced the birth of the Korean People’s Army.

The decision requires that party organizations at all levels in North Korea invest in political and ideological education and various activities on February 8 every year, and the cabinet and other relevant departments take concrete measures to commemorate the Army Day.

On November 5th, a message about "Sogou browser was exposed with obvious loopholes and tens of millions of users’ privacy was leaked in batches" began to spread to major media from the Kafan Forum.

According to the news, after logging in to Sogou browser with qq account, users will be able to find thousands of user names, accounts and passwords of unfamiliar users on many websites. There are inexplicably a lot of web pages in the user’s browser favorites that the user has not stored before. After opening the corresponding favorite web pages, even the browser will automatically fill in the user name and password and conduct electronic transactions directly.

For the first time, browser security vulnerabilities leaked privacy incidents, and sogou urgently needed to give users an explanation.

Some related technicians found files such as "HistoryUrl3_base" and "FormData3.dat" in the local browser of Sogou browser, which could not obtain the corresponding information without using professional software. After the Sogou browser synchronized the user’s stored account password and the webpage in the favorites to the cloud, the synchronized data was synchronized to other users’ computers, resulting in the disclosure of a large number of users’ private data information, which will lead to a large number of users’ property losses in this vulnerability incident.

It is understood that the recent Sogou browser security breach leaked user privacy security incidents for the first time in history, and a large number of user privacy data leaked and distributed incidents caused by browser security breaches. As a historical precedent, the security vulnerability incident of Sogou browser will attract more users’ attention. sogou needs to speed up the process of fixing product vulnerabilities and give users an early account of this matter.

New sogou made a good start. The biggest impact of Sogou browser security incident was sogou search

Since the news that sogou will be acquired by 360 on May 10th this year, it has been more than four months since the news that "Tencent acquired 36.5% shares in sogou" was confirmed, and the acquisition of sogou came to an end temporarily.

On November 3rd, sogou released the unaudited financial report for the third quarter of sogou as of September 30th, 2013. According to the report, the total revenue of New sogou in the first quarter of 2013 (the first quarter after sogou was acquired by Tencent with a 36.5% stake) was US$ 57 million, up 53% year-on-year, which set a good start for the development of New sogou.

And CNZZ, a traffic statistics agency, shows in the report that sogou search occupied 12.06% of the whole domestic search market on October 26th, reaching a new high.

After the browser is the most important Internet portal, Sogou browser, as the first event that a large number of user data are leaked due to browser security vulnerabilities, will not only have a great impact on its own development. As another sogou search business that can get more data from users and is more qualified to be an Internet portal, it will probably change the rapid development of Tencent after its shareholding, resulting in a small-scale share reduction.

Therefore, the security incident of Sogou browser is not only related to the future development of Sogou browser, but also will affect the development of sogou search-based sogou. (According to the vulnerability test of Dagong. com reporter at 11: 40, the security vulnerability of Sogou browser is no longer there.)

Sogou denied that the rumor of browser security vulnerabilities was ugly. "The poster said that the account was stolen."

After the sogou browser security vulnerability incident was widely spread by the media, which attracted the attention of the industry and even the society, sogou announced yesterday that the technical team of sogou browser started to verify the authenticity of the incident as soon as possible after the "sogou browser security vulnerability" incident was reported online, and confirmed that there was no security vulnerability in sogou browser. As for the reasons for this kind of news, sogou said that its strong development momentum made some competitors launch unfair competition in the name of kidnapping users, and especially said that it would not give up protecting the ultimate rights and interests of users by legal means.

Subsequently, at around 20: 31 yesterday, the k53941 user who had previously posted "Sogou browser broke security holes" on the technical forum card meal also posted that the owner of this user ID had not used it for a long time, and this time, the behavior of repeatedly posting multiple Sogou browser vulnerability posts was caused by the hacker after the ID password was stolen.

In this regard, some netizens expressed doubts. Since this user did not log in to this ID number for several months, why did he log in to this account shortly after the security vulnerability of Sogou browser was exposed? Are there still some unknown things behind it? Can this user also expose the login record of his forum account to improve the credibility of his speech?

Previously, on the platform of Black Cloud Vulnerability, many people in the industry and outside the industry have personally witnessed the seriousness of privacy leakage in view of the privacy leakage of sogou Pinyin. At that time, the announcement given by sogou was that Bing, the search engine, did not abide by the agreement of robots.txt, but it did not claim that its team’s means of protecting the privacy of input method was not enough, and more secure verification methods should be used to protect the privacy of input method users. As a heavyweight product in the legendary three-stage rocket of sogou, sogou input method is a leading product in both PC and mobile Internet. After a product with such a huge number of users has privacy loopholes, this response has aroused the dissatisfaction of many sogou input method users, and also provided opportunities for other input method manufacturers to develop users.

This time, regardless of whether there is a security loophole in Sogou browser, we will not consider whether posting claiming that the account was stolen is a way for sogou to refute rumors. After sogou became a shareholder in Tencent, his performance did show a good development trend. In this security vulnerability incident, the third-party vulnerability platform Wuyun and 360 security guards clearly stated that in a certain period of time, the second vulnerability of Sogou browser did exist. No matter whether the vulnerability incident is an oolong incident or not, sogou should give users a more comprehensive and satisfactory explanation, and try not to blindly find ways to excuse themselves. Users know whether there is a vulnerability, and promise to provide users with a better Sogou browser, and promise that sogou can compensate those users who have really suffered economic losses from Sogou browser as long as relevant certification materials are given. Is it a better way to deal with the incident?

The price of gold has gone up again. In the morning of December 4th, the global gold price hit a new record high. With the international gold price rising, domestic gold retail and jewelry prices have risen again. On December 4th, the unit price of gold jewelry per gram of several jewelry brands in Hefei exceeded that of 630 yuan, and it was slightly adjusted back on December 5th. Some salespeople said that the price of gold will remain high in the short term, and many "non-just-needed" consumers will stay on the sidelines, which will have an impact on sales.

The price of gold ornaments in the provincial capital reached a new high.

As the international gold price rises, the price of gold jewelry rises accordingly. On the morning of December 5th, in Chow Tai Fook Hall of the Top 100 Drum Tower Famous Products Center, the retail price of gold jewelry and ornaments was 619 yuan per gram, handicrafts were 609 yuan per gram, and investment in gold was 562 yuan per gram. Li Xiaorong, director of the store, told Anhui Business Daily that the price of the day had dropped from the previous day. On the 4th, the price of jewelry gold was 630 yuan, and when the 30 yuan discount per gram was included, the price also broke through 600 yuan, setting a record high. "The current highest point this year is also the highest price in these years."

In an old temple nearby, Gold, the price of all-gold 999 jewelry on that day is also 619 yuan per gram, and you can enjoy 30 yuan discount per gram. Shop assistant Zheng Hailan told Anhui Business Daily that the price of gold has been fluctuating for nearly half a month, with a fluctuation of more than ten yuan almost every day, and it has remained above 600 yuan for many days.

　Anhui Business Daily reporters learned that the prices of various brands of gold ornaments have risen, almost reaching the highest price. According to statistics, the latest price of Chow Tai Fook is 630 yuan, which is 34% higher than the lowest price in 470 yuan in recent three years and 133% higher than the lowest price in 270 yuan in recent ten years.

As the price of brand jewelry rises, so does the wholesale price. Near Hong Kong Street, Ningguo Road, Hefei, there are many gold wholesale dealers. In an old Hongfu jewelry store, manager Peng Nannan introduced that the store is a direct selling model, and the price is synchronized with Shenzhen Shuibei Gold Wholesale Market. The price of that day is 475 yuan per gram. "It fell today. It was 495 yuan the night before yesterday and 482 yuan during the day yesterday. The fluctuation was relatively large." She introduced that in my impression, the price of gold was relatively low before and after the National Day this year, and the wholesale price was about one gram of 440 yuan, and it has been rising all the way since then.

Zheng Hailan, assistant of the Old Temple Gold Store of the Top 100 Drum Tower Famous Products Center, told Anhui Business Daily that the price of gold continued to rise this year, which had an impact on "non-just-needed" consumers. The current monthly sales volume dropped by more than 10% compared with the same period last year. "Many old customers are optimistic about the style and say hello to me. The price of gold has dropped and it has not dropped." Zheng Hailan has an old customer. He got married at the beginning of last year and bought "hardware". This year, he accompanied his brother to buy it. "The same weight, a set bought, is more than 3,100 yuan more expensive."

Young people become the main consumer

Who is buying gold? Anhui Business Daily reporters visited and found that in addition to investment demand, young people have become the main force in the gold jewelry consumer market. According to the Consumer Insight Report of China Gold Jewelry Consumption Industry in 2022, from 2016 to 2021, the proportion of young people buying gold has increased from 16% to 59%, and young people are an important group of gold consumption.

Peng Nannan, the jewelry manager of Lao Hongfu, told Anhui Business Daily that in recent years, young people have bought more and more gold. "This year’s popular enamel and palace style are particularly popular."

Li Xiaorong, store director of Chow Tai Fook Club, said that in the past, young people bought more diamonds and platinum when they got married, and gold has become the mainstream in these years. "Young people are generally more pragmatic, and they will pay attention to the preservation of gold. The’ three gold’ and’ hardware’ are basically based on gold." In addition to marriage, the consumer demand for "pleasing yourself" is also growing. "Necklaces and rings under 10 grams, fashionable and exquisite products are very popular."　

In a Senfan jewelry store on Ningguo Road, Ms. Zhang, the person in charge, said that in addition to buying gold rings and necklaces, many young people played a "fixed investment in kind". Pay a salary every month to buy yourself a "golden melon seed" and "golden beans" and put them in a bottle.

The market outlook needs to pay attention to the dollar and the world situation.

What’s the next step for gold prices? Traders in the financial market department of Bank of China Anhui Branch analyzed that due to geopolitical uncertainty, the decline of the US dollar index and the expectation of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut, the price of gold may remain high next year.

"The price of gold in the international market is denominated in US dollars. Under the condition that other factors remain unchanged, the depreciation of the US dollar will boost the price of gold." According to analysis, the current US dollar index has been at the highest level in 20 years, and the probability of turning down in the future is high, which means that gold has a high probability of continuing to rise in the future.

"On the other hand, gold has a strong risk-aversion property. International geopolitical risks such as the Russian-Ukrainian war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict have triggered a great increase in investors’ risk aversion and stimulated strong demand for gold in the market. The imbalance between supply and demand is likely to lead to a further rise in gold prices." According to analysis, from the perspective of the Fed’s monetary policy, the market is expected to cut interest rates by the Fed in the near future. If the US dollar enters the interest rate cut channel in the future, the US dollar exchange rate may be under pressure immediately, and the flow of funds between US dollar assets and gold may be more active.

Many salespeople in the provincial capital believe that the price of gold may remain high in the short term. Zheng Hailan, the assistant of the old temple gold shop, believes that two months before and after the Spring Festival every year is the real peak season for gold sales, and it will not be ruled out that it will rise again.

　　CCTV News:On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of Gutian Conference, the revolutionary historical TV series "Casting Sword in Desperate Situation" jointly produced by CCTV, Huace Film and Television and Xiamen Wansheng Film and Television landed on a set of prime-time hits of CCTV. This is an unforgettable history, and in all fairness, it is a meticulous work.

　　As the ancient poem goes, "When we look at the side of the ridge, the distance is different", when we choose different angles and different criticism methods to treat the same TV play, the connotation, value and significance we can see are also very different. Generally speaking, there are political, economic, moral and cultural standards for judging the value of TV works. Among them, the "ratings" standard once became an important indicator.

　　Over the years, CCTV has been practicing the "ratings" standard and establishing the "ecological" standard in TV evaluation. The connotation of "ecology", from nature to humanity, is very rich. In short, it is to advocate the optimization of TV ecology, advocate the "green" and "environmental protection" of TV, and create a good humanistic and social environment, which is ultimately consistent with the goal of building an ecological and civilized society advocated by the country at present.

　　By introducing the concept of "ecology" to re-examine TV, we will gain a brand-new understanding of TV. By the standard of "ecology", I give "Casting Sword in Despair" five stars.

　　The first star: to show the "diversity" of TV cultural ecology.

　　Protecting biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance are the core concepts of ecology. As far as the healthy development of TV ecology is concerned, it is also very important to pay attention to the wide coverage of TV drama content and theme categories, avoid certain types of "prevailing" and "homogenization", and pay attention to the richness of ecological categories. For decades, China TV plays have fully demonstrated the "diversity" development trend of TV cultural ecology. Especially since 2010, the creation of TV dramas on revolutionary history has reproduced the glorious course of China revolution and painted a magnificent film and television art scroll of China revolutionary history with unique theme advantages, grand historical perspective, lofty value guidance and magnificent aesthetic character. It is a necessary complement to the previous spring tide in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, as well as the craze for costume, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the craze for realistic themes. Moreover, it is also a drama about revolutionary history. The focus of this drama is the historical events during the land reform period, which fills the gap in the theme of TV dramas in this period and enriches the ecological categories of TV dramas in China.

　　The second star: highlight the influence of "environment" in ecology on people.

　　A very core factor in ecological research is the research environment, including the influence of natural environment and human environment on people. Casting Sword in Despair is adapted from a real historical event that began in 1928. It is a past story that was born in a real history and region. It is 90 years apart from the present time and space, and it may become a fading historical memory. The value of this film lies in the efforts made by the creators to restore various historical scenes in their artistic creation, and the "handwriting" in scene selection and production restoration is amazing. Gutian site, Woods behind Gutian site, Peitian ancient village, uninhabited village, Dingwuling, Quaoli pier, Xiaozong ancestral hall and many other landmark buildings with historical features and regional characteristics are presented on the screen one by one. Pulling the audience back to the hard revolutionary years in an instant not only restores history, but also brings it to life, which is very different from the fabrication of some current time-travel dramas.

　　Moreover, the characterization, character and environment in the play have formed a special relationship, especially "restoring the texture of the times" and highlighting all kinds of "conflicts" and "growth" of the characters in the ever-changing environment. This kind of "ecological" observation has broken the facebook and conceptual characterization mode, making the characters in the play more real, lovely, full of flesh and blood and touching people’s hearts. Specifically, its special "environment" lies in "the desperate situation of guerrilla warfare for three years", its core "conflict" lies in "overcoming all kinds of non-proletarian thoughts", and its special "growth" lies in the fact that it has finally grown from "a Red Army team dominated by peasants at the beginning and with complex components" to "a red iron army with firm faith and fearlessness".

　　The third star respects the "naturalness" in the ecology.

　　This naturalness is highlighted in the realism of "natural carving" in characterization. Judging from the drama about revolutionary history, the TV series "Casting Sword in Desperate Situation" is very "grounded" and its characters are very real and lovely. The expression of history is not rigid, not conceptual, respecting history, respecting the weakness of human nature, and not making things up. The appeal of art comes from "truthfulness". No matter whether it is the main character or the minor character, its various real and meticulous performances have a moving power. What is the true face of a team with mixed components, mainly farmers, lax discipline, unclear beliefs and scattered sand? This is one of the highlights of this drama, and it is also a place where many comedies are highlighted (for example, because sausage forgot the gun, because pork forgot to return to the team, etc.).

　　Another example is the shaping of the main characters, especially Chairman Mao, who suffered from malaria because of acclimatization. There is a voice-over in the play: "The leader who led the people of China to overthrow the old world and establish a new China was also in such an embarrassing situation, which is enough to show how hard-won our socialist country is now!" There are many aspects in the film about Zhu Mao’s Red Army’s use of soldiers as gods, but this passage has broken the way of "deifying" the leaders and really has a convincing force.

　　The fourth star attaches importance to the "spiritual ecology" of the characters.

　　Literature and art are the project of casting the soul. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that patriotism should be the main theme of literary and artistic creation, and people should be guided to establish and adhere to the correct views on history, nationality, country and culture, so as to enhance their backbone and confidence in being Chinese. The influence of TV series on people’s spirit is very profound, because the visual expression of TV series can easily lead to idol effect. Looking back at the TV series "Casting Sword in Despair", if we use the "ecological" standard to measure it, it is very necessary to educate people like "Do not forget your initiative mind". The independent camp in western Fujian led by Li Huacheng forged the soul of the army in the desperate situation of "no food, no bullets, no medicine", adhered to the principle of "building the party ideologically and building the army politically" established by Gutian Conference, and made concerted efforts with Chen Tianyou and other team leaders. Cruel war scenes, firm revolutionary beliefs, and the sacrifices and growth of all the soldiers have moved countless netizens: "It is really not easy to pay such a painful price behind a few strokes in history books!" "Suddenly understand us ‘ Listen to the party’s command, win the battle, and have a good style of work ’ How did the people’s army grow up! "

　　The fifth star: the ecological "integrity" of the team of editors and directors.

　　The attributes of TV series are complicated, which are both works of art and cultural products. Its concrete formation has its own unique cultural and ecological environment, and it is also in a unique ecological chain. Very different from traditional works of art, it is first of all the product of "team" wisdom. It is an art science, and it must be operated scientifically as a whole. From planning, scriptwriting, filming to being on the screen, it must go through a strict production process, and it must be a harmonious and optimized combination of creative factors such as screenwriter, director, actor, camera shooting, recording, art design, music, makeup, clothing and props. The so-called "amateurs watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway". If you look at the TV series "Casting Sword in Despair" from a professional perspective, you can see its "step by step" exquisiteness.

　　On the one hand, this "high-quality" ecological optimization combination is based on the improvement of the professional level of China’s TV drama creation, on the other hand, it is based on the superior combination of its own creative team. In 2016, "The Desperate Defender" triggered a ratings boom, and won many awards such as "Five One Project Award", "Flying Award" and "Golden Eagle Award". As the second part of the "Three Musts" series, Casting Sword in Despair is still under the general planning of Yuan Jingui, starring Qian Linsen, a famous screenwriter, and Zhang Tong, who won the flying prize for "Breaking Defender", and adding new blood to the strength school. Affectionate patriotism, compact plot, excellent drama production, exquisite interpretation by actors, music that makes the finishing point, and many obscure behind-the-scenes creators have restored a true history for us with their professional level and dedication.

　　Literature and art can’t be slaves of the market, and they can’t get lost in the tide of market economy. A good work should put social benefits first. Excellent literary and artistic works, it is best to be successful in thought and art, and to be welcomed in the market. Literature and art should be able to help build a green humanistic ecological environment and enhance the spiritual and ecological strength of the audience. Under this standard, I give "Casting Sword in Desperate Situation" five stars. It is an unforgettable historical memory, a "picture book of revolutionary heroes", and its intrinsic value, in addition to the digital display of current ratings, can also play a supplementary role in history textbooks.

As of June 4th, China has donated and exported more than 350 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

China is actively engaged in international cooperation in the research, development, production and use of vaccines in Covid-19. Some vaccine research and development units have cooperated with relevant institutions in more than 20 countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Uzbekistan, the Philippines and Pakistan, to carry out phase III clinical trials. Some vaccine research and development units are cooperating with foreign companies to develop nucleic acid vaccines. Some vaccine research and development units have received financial support from the Innovation Alliance for Epidemic Prevention, and are currently conducting phase II and III clinical trials abroad.

In terms of production, China’s vaccine production enterprises have cooperated with many developing countries to rapidly promote the large-scale production of vaccines. The stock solution produced by some enterprises has been shipped to Brazil, Indonesia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Malaysia and other countries, and overseas sub-packaging has been started.

On the supply side, China has taken the lead in promising to make vaccines a global public product, contributing to the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in developing countries.

　　CCTV News:According to the website of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, according to the China Telecom Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team and the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Deng Chang, the former Party Secretary and General Manager of China Telecom Sichuan Communication Industry Service Co., Ltd., is suspected of serious violation of the law and is currently under disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the China Telecom Discipline Inspection and Supervision Team and the Chengdu Municipal Commission of Sichuan Province.

　　　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing (Reporter Chen Yuming) The China Trade Union will hold its 15th National Congress on the 17th. Today, 30 years ago, another very important congress of trade unions in China-the Ninth National Congress is also in progress.

　　　　It was the Ninth Congress of the Trade Union that brought new opportunities to the China trade union movement, which was completely paralyzed by the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution, and the trade union work began to recover and develop in an all-round way.

　　　　Over the past 30 years, under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), trade unions have adapted to the new requirements of the development of the times, regarded safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of workers as a sacred duty, and made efforts to build trade unions into a real "home for workers".

　　　　Trade union members range from 50 million to 209 million.

　　　　"By the end of June 2008, the number of grass-roots trade union organizations nationwide had reached 1,702,400, covering 3,556,000 units; The total number of trade union members in China has reached 209 million … "This is the result of the formation of trade unions announced at the press conference of the 15th National Congress of China Trade Unions held recently.

　　　　Thirty years ago, there were only about 300,000 grass-roots trade union organizations in China, and the total number of trade union members in China was only 50 million.

　　　　"The substantial increase in the number of grass-roots organizations and trade union members in the country is by no means a simple change in the concept of numbers." The relevant person in charge of the ACFTU said that in order to effectively play the role of the Party as a bridge between the workers and the masses, trade unions must organize workers into trade unions to the maximum extent and earnestly safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

　　　　Over the past 30 years, trade unions in China have been forging ahead in the tide of reform, opening up and socialist modernization. From the late 1970s to the 1980s, trade union work gradually resumed development. By the 1990s, with the rapid growth of the non-public sector of the economy, trade unions in China consolidated their traditional positions in state-owned and collective enterprises, and on the other hand, made efforts to expand the territory in the new field of the non-public sector of the economy.

　　　　In the 21st century, trade unions in China clearly put forward that the establishment of trade unions and the development of members should be the top priority of trade union work, and showed the policy of "organizing and earnestly safeguarding rights", and vigorously promoted the establishment of trade unions by new economic organizations and new social organizations, which made the establishment of trade unions achieve great development.

　　　　Today, China trade unions have not only overcome the difficult problem of establishing Wal-Mart’s trade unions, but also achieved remarkable results in exploring the organizational forms and systems of grass-roots trade unions. Various organizational forms, such as market trade unions, project trade unions, building trade unions, and agricultural industrial chain trade unions, have been summarized and popularized, and the "small three-level" organizational network of township (street) trade unions, village (community) trade unions and enterprise trade unions has basically taken shape, and the mechanism for producing the chairmen of grass-roots trade unions has been improved day by day, which has provided a long-term mechanism guarantee for the development and growth of trade unions.

　　　　It is particularly noteworthy that migrant workers, as a new force in the workforce, are increasingly joining trade union organizations. Statistics show that as of June this year, there are 66.746 million migrant workers in the national trade unions, and the development potential is huge.

　　　　A major breakthrough in the formation of trade unions and the development of members has consolidated the party’s class foundation and expanded the party’s mass base. Trade unions in China have become a well-deserved and strong pillar in the construction of state power.

　　　　Effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of employees

　　　　"Organize, earnestly safeguard rights", "worker-oriented, take the initiative to scientifically safeguard rights according to law" … Nowadays, if you walk into the office of any trade union casually, you can always see these words that embody the theoretical innovation achievements of trade union work in China.

　　　　In April 1983, when studying the Outline of the Work Report of the Tenth National Congress of Trade Unions in China and other documents, Secretary the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that "the nature and task of trade unions should be an organization that represents the interests of the working class and works for the working class under the leadership of the party."

　　　　In the 1990s, the rapid development of the non-public sector of the economy has brought about the diversification and complexity of labor relations, and the problem of infringing on the rights and interests of workers has become increasingly prominent. In this context, the first Labor Law of New China was promulgated in July 1994. Article 7 of the law stipulates that "trade unions represent and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers."

　　　　On the basis of summarizing the practice of safeguarding rights for many years, the newly revised Trade Union Law in 2001 clearly stipulates that "safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of employees is the basic duty of trade unions." In the new century, especially since the 14th Congress of China Trade Union, with the deepening of practice, the theory of trade union rights protection has been greatly enriched and developed.

　　　　While the theory of safeguarding rights is constantly innovating and sublimating, trade unions at all levels have achieved increasingly fruitful results in safeguarding rights in practice.

　　　　On the one hand, in order to adapt to the deep adjustment of social and economic structure, trade unions at all levels have strengthened their participation in the source and established and improved a series of rights protection mechanisms. At present, at the macro level, the joint (contact) meeting system between trade unions and the government and the tripartite consultation mechanism of labor relations have been generally established, and the participation of trade unions in legislation and law enforcement supervision is increasing; At the enterprise level, the signing rate of labor contracts and collective contracts has been further improved, the democratic management system of enterprises and institutions with workers’ congresses as the basic form has been widely implemented, and the wage co-determination mechanism, normal wage growth mechanism and payment guarantee mechanism of enterprise employees have been gradually established.

　　　　On the other hand, in view of the fact that some employees have encountered difficulties in the restructuring of state-owned enterprises and the adjustment of industrial structure, trade unions at all levels have increased their assistance to employees in need and the rights of migrant workers on the basis of maintaining stability and promoting harmony. Nowadays, the send warm activity, the assistance center for needy workers and the golden autumn student assistance activity have become trade union work brands with great social influence, and the slogan "Migrant workers have difficulties, so they need to defend their rights and find a trade union" is resounding. Statistics show that at present, 100% of prefecture-level cities and 91% of county-level towns in China have established assistance centers for needy workers, raising a total of 4.2 billion yuan to help 20.902 million people. By the end of 2007, trade unions at all levels in China had helped the government to settle the arrears of wages for migrant workers by a total of 43.32 billion yuan.

　　　　Improve quality and make contributions.

　　　　On May 9th, 2006, China inventor Bao Qifan, who was a worker, shocked the Paris International Invention Exhibition. With the success of winning four gold medals alone, he created a new history of the world’s most authoritative invention exhibition with a history of 105 years.

　　　　In the past 30 years, Bao Qifan has gone from a dock stevedore with only junior high school education to a national expert and professor-level senior engineer who won numerous awards for innovation and invention. He said that his growth benefited from the good times of reform and opening up and the good platform built by the party, the government and trade unions at all levels.

　　　　Bao Qifan is just a microcosm of the tens of thousands of China workers in Qian Qian who grew up under the banner of reform and opening up.

　　　　The process of the intelligentization of the working class in China determines the modernization of China. From the nationwide reading activities of "Revitalizing China" in the 1980s, with more than 11 million employees participating in the reading activities, to the in-depth activities of "establishing learning organizations and striving to be knowledge workers" in the new era, and to the comprehensive promotion of the quality project for employees … China trade unions have always regarded improving the overall quality of the workforce as their long-term strategic task.

　　　　According to statistics, since 2005, trade unions at or above the grass-roots level have commended 37,000 advanced units of learning organizations, 16,700 advanced teams and groups, and 83,000 model workers and advanced individuals.

　　　　It is precisely because of the high-quality workforce that the working class in China can always stand in the forefront of the development of the times and make immortal contributions in the grand project of modernization.

　　　　Focusing on the objectives and tasks of economic construction, it has always been the proper meaning of China trade unions to show the wisdom and strength of the working class through various forms of meritorious activities.

　　　　Since 1983, the ACFTU has jointly issued documents with relevant ministries and commissions almost every year to organize workers to carry out labor competitions with rationalization proposals and technological innovation as the main content. Nowadays, labor competition is still an indispensable part of trade union work, but its form and connotation are richer.

　　　　According to statistics, since 2003 alone, workers’ technical associations at all levels have organized 453,000 technical research and development projects, creating economic benefits of 40.79 billion yuan; 358,300 new technologies were popularized, creating an economic benefit of 75.81 billion yuan.

　　　　"As long as you work hard, you can also be a worker." When this consensus gradually becomes a strong voice of the times, the working class in China will surely make new contributions in the great journey of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

　　　　In the past 30 years, China’s trade unions have been tempered and transformed in the reform and opening up and market economy, and have realized the great rejuvenation of the trade union cause through continuous progress; Today, the trade union in China, which stands at a new historical starting point, will surely lead the working class in China to create new glories.
