  (4) Possible risks

  I. Operational risks

  The company’s main products cover relays, low-voltage electrical appliances, high-voltage and low-voltage complete sets of equipment and other categories, and are applied to household appliances, smart homes, automobile industry, smart grid, industrial control, new energy and other fields. If macroeconomic fluctuations, policy adjustments and other factors affect the prosperity of downstream industries or downstream market demand, it may adversely affect the company’s operating performance.

  Since 2018, trade frictions between China and the United States have been constant. The US government has successively issued three batches of tariff increase lists, in which 25% tariffs are imposed on goods worth $34 billion, $16 billion and $200 billion exported from China to the United States, and relay products are also included in the tariff increase list. Although at present, the products directly sold by the company to the United States account for a relatively small proportion, which has little impact on the company, if the trade friction between China and the United States is further aggravated or there is trade friction between China and other economies in the future, barriers will be set up in terms of trade policies and tariffs, which may have an adverse impact on the company’s operating performance, profitability and market development.

  The main raw materials of relay products include copper, silver, enameled wire, engineering plastics, etc. The prices of the main raw materials are affected by the fluctuation of the international market of bulk commodities, which directly affects the product profits and the company’s working capital. If the price of the company’s main raw materials fluctuates violently in the future, and the company cannot transfer the negative impact of the price increase of raw materials to downstream enterprises by raising the sales price of products, it will have an adverse impact on the company’s operating performance.

  Second, the brain drain risk

  Technicians are very important for the long-term development of relay manufacturers. At present, the high-end relay with high technology content and large profit margin has become the development direction of the industry. Whether it can occupy the high-end market is the key for relay manufacturers to achieve sustainable development. The research and development of high-end relays requires specialized technicians, complete professional knowledge and wide knowledge of other majors, and it takes years of training and practice to truly design and develop new products independently. At the same time, a large number of key technology positions on the production line also need experienced skilled workers to be competent. Therefore, professionals are more important in the relay industry. If brain drain occurs, enterprises will face related losses. The core management and technical backbone of the company hold the company’s equity through qualified investment, and their personal interests can be consistent with the company’s development. Through this shareholding method of management and backbone personnel, the core personnel of Acer Power Generation can be kept relatively stable.

  Third, technical risks

  The Technology Center is the core of the issuer’s technological innovation system, and undertakes major research tasks such as product development and design, process design and verification, product performance testing and analysis, mold development and design and manufacturing, automatic production line equipment, test instrument development and design, etc. R&D investment ensures that the company’s products have excellent market competitiveness. If the company can’t continue to invest in R&D or technological innovation in the future, the products will not meet the needs of customers and the requirements of industry changes, and the market competitiveness will decline, thus affecting the company’s profitability.

  Fourth, financial risks

  Overseas income accounts for a relatively high proportion of the company’s main business income. The company’s overseas business is mainly settled in foreign currency. If the RMB exchange rate changes greatly, it will cause fluctuations in the balance of the company’s foreign currency monetary assets, and foreign exchange receipts and payments will generate large exchange gains and losses, which will further affect the company’s operating performance. At the same time, the fluctuation of exchange rate may also affect the price of products in overseas markets and face the risk of declining market competitiveness. The company has continuously summarized and improved the exchange rate risk management and control methods suitable for its own needs, locked the exchange rate in time through the analysis of the exchange rate market and operating income, and established a set of foreign exchange management methods and processes. Under the premise of comprehensively considering market liquidity and management costs, it actively pays attention to monetary policy and exchange rate trends, selects the timing of foreign exchange locking and settlement in a timely manner, and rationally uses financial instruments to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on enterprises and avoid exchange rate risks.

  V. Policy risks

  Electronic components industry is the basic support of electronic information industry, and its development is strongly supported and encouraged by national policies. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have successively issued a number of policies to encourage and promote the rapid development of the electronic information industry, such as the Information Industry Development Guide, the Special Action Plan for Improving the Design Capability of Manufacturing Industry (2019-2022) and the Basic Electronic Components Industry Development Action Plan (2021-2023). In the future, if the relevant policies of the country on electronic components industry or electronic information industry change, it may lead to certain adverse effects on the company’s operating performance.

  VI. Risks related to the issuance of this convertible bond

  (A) principal and interest payment risk

  During the duration of the convertible bonds, the issuer shall pay interest on the unconverted convertible bonds and pay the principal at maturity. In addition, when the convertible bonds trigger the resale conditions, if the investors put forward the resale, the issuer still needs to honor the resale proposed by the investors, and will face certain cash expenditure pressure in a short time. The convertible bonds issued this time did not provide guarantee. Therefore, if the issuer’s business activities fail to achieve the expected return due to uncontrollable factors such as national policies, regulations, industries and markets in the future, it may affect the issuer’s timely and full payment of the principal and interest of convertible bonds and the acceptance ability of investors when they sell back.

  (2) The risk of failure to convert convertible bonds into shares at maturity

  The stock price is not only influenced by the issuer’s profit level and development prospect, but also by the national macroeconomic situation, political and economic policies, investors’ investment preferences, expected returns of investment projects and other factors. If the convertible bonds issued this time fail to be converted due to the sluggish stock price trend of the issuer or the investment preference of the holders of the convertible bonds, the issuer shall pay the principal and interest for the convertible bonds that have not been converted, which will correspondingly increase the financial cost burden and financial pressure of the company. In addition, during the existence of the convertible bonds, if the convertible bonds are redeemed, the company will face certain financial pressure.

  (C) the risk of reducing the conversion value of convertible bonds

  The issuer’s stock price trend is influenced by many factors, such as operating results, macroeconomic situation, industry policies, and the overall situation of the stock market. After the issuance of the convertible bonds, the issuer’s share price may continue to be lower than the conversion price of the convertible bonds, so the conversion value of the convertible bonds may decrease, and the interests of the holders of the convertible bonds may be greatly adversely affected. This issuance has set the downward revision clause of the issuer’s share conversion price. If the issuer fails to revise the conversion price downward in time, or even if the conversion price is revised downward, the stock price is still lower than the conversion price, which may still lead to the reduction of the conversion value of the convertible bonds issued this time, and the interests of the holders of convertible bonds may be greatly adversely affected.

  (D) Risks related to downward revision of the conversion price

  1. Risk of failure to implement the downward revision clause of conversion price.

  During the duration of the convertible bonds issued this time, when the closing price of the company’s shares is lower than 90% of the current conversion price for at least 15 trading days in any continuous 30 trading days, the board of directors of the company has the right to propose a downward revision plan for the conversion price and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting for deliberation and voting. This plan can only be implemented if it is approved by more than two-thirds of the voting rights held by shareholders attending the meeting.

  Under the condition of meeting the downward revision conditions of convertible bonds’ conversion price, the issuer’s board of directors may still not propose the downward revision plan of conversion price based on multiple considerations such as the company’s actual situation, stock price trend and market factors; Or the downward revision plan of the conversion price proposed by the issuer’s board of directors has not been reviewed and approved by the shareholders’ meeting. Therefore, the holders of convertible bonds may face the risk that the downward revision of the conversion price will not be implemented during the duration.

  2. Risk of downward revision of the conversion price with uncertain range.

  During the existence of the issuer’s convertible bonds, even if the issuer revises the conversion price according to the downward revision clause, the revised conversion price shall not be lower than the higher average price of the company’s shares in the 20 trading days before the shareholders’ meeting to consider the proposal on the conversion price revision scheme and the average price of the previous trading day, so the correction range of the conversion price is limited to some extent, and there is a risk of uncertainty. Moreover, if the stock price continues to fall after the correction and the future stock price continues to be lower than the conversion price after the downward correction, the conversion value of the convertible bonds will undergo major adverse changes, which may lead to the risk that the convertible bonds will be sold back or cannot be converted during the conversion period.

  3. The downward revision of the conversion price leads to the risk of the company’s share capital dilution.

  During the duration of the convertible bonds, if the issuer’s shares trigger the downward revision of the conversion price, the conversion price of the convertible bonds issued this time will be adjusted downward. Under the condition of the same conversion scale, the number of shares converted by the issuer will increase accordingly, which will lead to the expansion of the dilution of the share capital. Therefore, during the duration, the issuer may face the risk of increasing the dilution degree of the share capital due to the implementation of the downward revision clause of the conversion price.

  (V) Risk of price fluctuation of convertible bonds

  Convertible bonds, as derivative financial products, have the dual characteristics of stocks and bonds. The secondary market price of convertible bonds is influenced by many factors, such as market interest rate level, coupon rate, remaining years, conversion price, stock price of listed companies, redemption terms and resale terms, investors’ psychological expectations, etc. The price fluctuation situation is more complicated, and even there may be abnormal fluctuations or deviations from their investment value, which may make investors face certain investment risks.

  (VI) Liquidity risk

  The trading activity of the securities trading market is influenced by the macroeconomic environment, the distribution of investors, investors’ willingness to trade and other factors. The issuer cannot guarantee that the holders of the convertible bonds can trade their bonds in full and at any time after listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Therefore, after purchasing this convertible bond, investors may face the liquidity risk that they can’t sell the amount they want to sell in full at a certain price because the bond is inactive after listing.

  (7) Risk of credit rating change

  After the new century credit rating, the issuer’s main credit rating is AA, and the credit rating of this convertible bond is AA. During the validity period of the credit rating of this convertible bond or the duration of this convertible bond, the tracking rating will be conducted at least once a year in the new century, and the issuer cannot guarantee that its main credit rating and the credit rating of this convertible bond will not change negatively during the validity period of the credit rating or the duration of the bond. If the credit rating agency lowers the issuer’s main credit rating and/or the credit rating of this convertible bond, it may have a certain impact on the interests of bondholders.

  Eight, the risk of COVID-19 epidemic.

  In recent years, novel coronavirus broke out one after another in various regions of the world, which had a great impact on the world macro-economy. Subject to quarantine measures, traffic control and other epidemic prevention and control measures, the company’s procurement, production and sales are affected to some extent in the short term. Although the domestic COVID-19 epidemic has been effectively controlled, the issuer has resumed normal production and operation, and all work has been carried out in an orderly manner, if the COVID-19 epidemic recurs in China or continues to spread around the world for a long time, it may still have a certain degree of adverse impact on the company’s strategic implementation, production and operation, and performance.

  The above possible risks have not changed much from the risk factors suggested in the previous year (or prospectus).

Overseas media attention! China welcomes the development of the "express train"

  Cctv newsOn August 16th, CCTV’s "International Sharp Review" broadcast an article entitled "Global investors and traders, welcome to take the" express train "developed by China", which was reprinted by many overseas media.

  From 16 to 18 August, Russian Siberian News Network, European Times German Network, German-Chinese Report website, French LCF Radio facebook account, Spanish Radio International website, Italian Radio We website (facebook, twitter), Turkish Economic Observation Network, Albanian National Radio and Television website, Czech Today Information Network, Kazakhstan Industrial News website, Facebook account of Tanzania Africa Media Group, facebook account of Jordan Global Radio, Chinese PT Portal, Chinese Headline APP, Portuguese New Newspaper APP(facebook, twitter), Nordic Times website, Europe-China United Times website, European Union Chinese website, Africa Times website, West Africa online website, Japanese Chinese business website, Greek China website and many other overseas media have forwarded them one after another. From August 17th to 18th, this article was also published in Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao, Hong Kong wenhui network and Hong Kong Business Daily. The main reports are as follows:

  China recently released economic data for July, showing that the total import and export volume reached 2,602.8 billion yuan, up 12.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 8.2 percentage points higher than that of last month. Among them, exports were 1,389.9 billion yuan, up 6.0%, 3.0 percentage points faster than last month; Imports reached 1,212.9 billion yuan, up 20.9%, 14.9 percentage points faster than last month. Import and export balance, the trade surplus of 177 billion yuan, 83.9 billion yuan narrower than last month.

  China’s import and export growth accelerated in July, and its trade surplus narrowed, indicating that China’s measures to open wider to the outside world are releasing more dividends. As the Supreme Leader of president, China said at the 2017 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, China’s development is an opportunity for the world, and Chinese will not commit "red eye disease". People from all countries are welcome to take the "express train" and "free ride" developed by China. Since the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced a new round of opening-up measures at the 2018 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia in April this year, various measures have been intensively implemented and the commitments to opening up have been fulfilled one by one. In the second half of the year, China will also bring two major benefits to the world: First, the "Huluntong" will be opened during the year to further open the capital market; Second, the first China International Import Expo will be held in Shanghai to provide a larger market and trading platform for global trading partners and create new market demand.

one

  Look at Huluntong first. It refers to the interconnection between Shanghai Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange. Previously, China had launched Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect in 2014 and 2016 respectively, which enhanced the margin financing and securities lending capacity of the securities market between Hong Kong and mainland enterprises. "Huluntong" is the first step to connect the world’s largest emerging market with the oldest international mature market, which will not only make China’s securities market more international and legal, but also provide greater opportunities for British enterprises to deeply participate in China’s capital market. International investors can get more convenient financial support through "Huluntong" and increase opportunities for third-party market cooperation. In a recent meeting with British Foreign Secretary Hunt, China Prime Minister Li Keqiang stressed that the two sides should take the opening of the "Shanghai-Luntong" project this year as an opportunity to actively cultivate new growth points for cooperation and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

  Undoubtedly, "Huluntong" will become a new footnote for the opening of China’s capital market. Prior to this, the first futures product opened to the outside world from China — — Crude oil futures are listed on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, and the A shares are included in the morgan stanley capital international Emerging Markets Index; From allowing foreign investors to hold 51% shares in joint-venture securities companies and fund companies for the first time to further liberalizing the scope of foreign investors’ participation in A-share trading, a series of opening-up actions in China’s capital market have attracted increasing foreign capital inflows.

  According to the data of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China, the cross-border capital inflow of foreign securities investment in China in the first half of the year has tripled year-on-year. According to the statistics of China Securities Regulatory Commission, from January to July 2018, the accumulated net inflow of overseas funds into the A-share market was 161.6 billion yuan. Despite the intensification of global trade friction in June and July, the net inflow of overseas funds into the A-share market still reached 49.8 billion yuan. Recently, morgan stanley capital international Company released the index evaluation report for August 2018, and decided to increase the inclusion factor of the existing A shares from 2.5% to 5%, which will account for 0.75% of the morgan stanley capital international emerging market index.

  In capital market, confidence is more important than gold. The increasing inflow of foreign capital shows the confidence in China’s economic development. In fact, foreign investors have been waiting for China’s huge financial market and profit margin for a long time. Once the "Huluntong" is opened this year, they will undoubtedly share a bigger "cake".

  At the same time, as China’s global trading partners, they will also get more dividends from the first China International Import Expo held in Shanghai in November. As the world’s first national-level exposition with the theme of import, its role in promoting today’s world trade cooperation is unquestionable. At present, more than 2,800 enterprises from more than 130 countries and regions have registered to participate in the exhibition, and it is estimated that there will be 150,000 buyers worldwide. It is reported that more than 30 overseas enterprises have signed up in advance to participate in the second China International Import Expo next year.

  Keen exhibitors have seen that Chinese’s demand for a better quality of life and high-quality economic development is becoming a new kinetic energy for the growth of the global consumer market and a new space for enterprises from all over the world to create wealth. It is estimated that from 2017 to 2022, China will import 8 trillion US dollars of goods and absorb 600 billion US dollars of foreign investment, with a total foreign investment of 750 billion US dollars and 700 million outbound tourists. At a time when global trade and investment are blocked by protectionism and unilateralism, the above-mentioned good news from China is undoubtedly a great boost to the confidence of enterprises in various countries. According to the annual white paper "American Enterprises in China" released by American Chamber of Commerce in China at the end of May, nearly 60% of the interviewed enterprises listed China as one of the top three investment destinations in the world, one third of the members planned to expand their investment in China by more than 10%, and 46% of the respondents expressed confidence that the China government would further open its market to foreign investment in the next three years, which was higher than 34% in the same period last year.

  Looking around the world, China not only has a huge market with a population of nearly 1.4 billion, but also has the determination and actions to support trade liberalization and investment facilitation. I am afraid it is difficult for investors and traders from all over the world to find a bigger market and more opportunities than China. Now, what they need to do is to seize the opportunity and board the "express train" of China as soon as possible.

  Article 18 When reviewing the validity, completeness and response degree of the response documents, the consultative group may require the suppliers to make necessary clarifications, explanations or corrections to the contents in the response documents that are ambiguous in meaning, inconsistent in the expression of similar problems, or have obvious errors in writing and calculation. The supplier’s clarification, explanation or correction shall not go beyond the scope of the response document or change the substantive content of the response document.

  The price score in the comprehensive scoring method is calculated by the low price priority method, that is, the price of the supplier who meets the requirements of the negotiation documents and finally offers the lowest price is the negotiation benchmark price, and its price score is full marks. The prices of other suppliers are calculated in accordance with the following formula:

  Negotiation quotation score = (negotiation benchmark price/final negotiation quotation) × price weight ×100

  In the process of project review, the highest and lowest quotations in the final quotation shall not be removed.

How to prevent influenza? What if I get the flu? Experts come to help.

[Global Network Comprehensive Report] On January 17, a press conference was held at the National Health and Wellness Commission to introduce the health-related situation of seasonal solar terms. How to judge whether it is the flu or the common cold? Do I have to go to the hospital after I get the flu? Won’t you get the flu if you’ve been vaccinated against the flu? In response to these questions, the participating experts gave authoritative answers.

When cold symptoms appear, how to judge whether it is flu or common cold?

Li Dong, the chief physician of Beijing You ‘an Hospital, once said that when we have symptoms, we can initially analyze whether it is influenza or common cold from the epidemiological history and symptoms.

In the history of epidemiology, in the winter and spring when influenza is high, if you have high fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue and other symptoms after close contact with influenza cases, it is probably influenza. The common cold generally has no clear source of infection.

From the symptoms, the flu symptoms are more severe, and the onset is urgent, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as high fever, headache, muscle aches and special fatigue above 38.5℃. The common cold is usually low or moderate fever, or even no fever. The symptoms are mainly nasal congestion, runny nose and sneezing, which are relatively mild.

Do I have to go to the hospital after I get the flu?

Li Dong once said that for flu patients, those with mild symptoms can be isolated at home, and antipyretic and analgesic drugs and expectorant and antitussive drugs can generally recover in about 7 days. If you have high fever above 39℃ and the antipyretic drugs are not effective during home isolation, or you have severe symptoms such as severe cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness and breath-holding, as well as severe headache, frequent vomiting, confusion, etc., or the symptoms have not eased for more than 5 days, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time.

What are the precautions for home rehabilitation?

Li Dong once said that adequate rest is conducive to recovery. It is not recommended to go to work, go to school, visit relatives and friends or attend parties when sick, and avoid receiving visiting relatives and friends during illness to reduce the risk of infection. When resting at home, those who can afford it should stay in a separate room, those who can’t should try to keep their distance from their families, open more windows for ventilation, and wear masks when contacting their families. Cover your nose and mouth with paper towels or elbows when sneezing or coughing. Throw the used paper towels into the covered trash can immediately and wash your hands in time.

Li Dong once reminded that the elderly, pregnant women, children, immunocompromised people and moderately obese people are high-risk people with severe influenza. Once they get the flu, it is recommended to treat them as soon as possible under the guidance of a doctor. During the period of rest and isolation at home, we should pay attention to rational drug use and avoid abusing antibiotics, because antibiotics are ineffective against virus infection.

How to effectively prevent influenza?

Wang Dayan, a researcher at the Institute of Viral Disease Prevention and Control of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the most effective and economical way to prevent influenza is to vaccinate against influenza, which can significantly reduce the risk of morbidity and serious complications. Although vaccination is recommended before the influenza epidemic season, as long as individuals are not infected, vaccination can prevent influenza, alleviate symptoms, shorten the course of disease, and significantly reduce the risk of developing into severe illness and death.

"However, getting the flu vaccine doesn’t mean that you won’t get the flu at all." Wang Dayan said that the flu vaccine only targets the flu virus and has no protective effect on other pathogens of acute respiratory infections. After vaccination, it usually takes some time to produce enough antibodies to achieve the protective effect, so even after vaccination, protective measures still need to be taken.

In addition, Wang Dayan reminded that after the recovery of acute respiratory infections such as influenza and pneumonia, influenza vaccination can prevent influenza and other types of influenza. During the epidemic season, people who have not been vaccinated in time, especially the elderly, infants, patients with chronic diseases and their families living together, should be vaccinated as soon as possible, and early vaccination will benefit early.

Won’t you get the flu if you’ve been vaccinated against the flu?

Li Dong once said that people who are still infected with influenza virus after being vaccinated do, but compared with those who have not been vaccinated, the risk of being infected with influenza virus is significantly reduced, and the symptoms of influenza after infection are relatively mild and the risk of severe illness is lower. For example, there can be no high fever, only low fever or no fever, and the cough lasts for a short time, so you can recover faster.

Li Dong once suggested that those who have not been vaccinated against influenza this year and have not been infected with influenza yet should be vaccinated as soon as possible. People who have been infected with influenza virus can have some immunity to the subtype of influenza virus infected this time, and it is very unlikely that they will be infected with the same subtype again in a short period of time, but there is no protection for other influenza strains. At present, more than 99% of the influenza strains prevalent in China are H1N1 subtype of influenza A, which can be protected after infection, but influenza vaccines are usually trivalent or tetravalent vaccines. If you vaccinate after infection, you can also obtain the protection of influenza A H3N2 strain and influenza B strain. So even if you have had the flu once, you can gain resistance to the other two strains after vaccination.

How to use drugs scientifically for influenza patients?

Recently, mabaloxavir and oseltamivir, two influenza drugs, have attracted more attention on the Internet. Li Dong once said that at present, only mabaloxavir is approved for the treatment of influenza in China, but it has not been approved for post-exposure prevention. Pay attention to the following points when using mabaloxavir to treat influenza:

Use as soon as possible: antiviral drugs should be used as soon as possible, and mabaloxavir suggests using them within 48 hours of onset to achieve the best effect.

Applicable people: Mabaloxavir is currently only approved for antiviral treatment for people aged 5 years and above. Oseltamivir should be used in the treatment of influenza in children under 5 years old. For pregnant women and lactating women, it is suggested to choose oseltamivir for antiviral treatment because of the lack of data on the use of mabaloxavir.

Drug interaction: Mabaloxavir may interact with other drugs when used together. If you need to use this drug, be sure to inform your doctor about other drugs you are using (including over-the-counter drugs and health care products) to avoid potential drug interactions.

Pay attention to allergic reaction: If you have allergic symptoms such as rash, itching, dyspnea or other serious discomfort during the use of mabaloxavir, you should stop taking the drug immediately and seek medical attention.

Li Dong once reminded that one or two "star drugs" should not be relied too much when treating influenza. Scientific use of symptomatic drugs and adequate rest are conducive to faster recovery.

How do the elderly cope with the flu challenge?

Li Jing, the chief physician of Beijing Hospital, said that the physical resistance of the elderly is weaker than that of the young people, and the flu symptoms may be more serious, such as a long duration of fever, which may easily lead to complications such as pneumonia and respiratory failure, and the recovery rate of the disease is slow. Daily protection is very important. Influenza is a respiratory infectious disease. Older people should wear masks when going out, and try to avoid shopping malls, markets and other crowded places with poor air circulation. At the same time, we should pay attention to increasing or decreasing clothes according to the weather changes to keep warm and cold. Always ventilate at home to keep the air fresh.

Li Jing said that if the elderly are infected with flu and have mild symptoms (such as sore throat, cough, runny nose, etc.), they can rest at home first, drink more water, eat light food, keep their stools unobstructed, and use drugs appropriately to relieve symptoms. However, once there are serious symptoms such as persistent high fever, a lot of thick sputum, dyspnea and listlessness, you should go to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying your illness. When taking care of the elderly with influenza, family members should also pay attention to avoid cross-infection. Besides washing your hands frequently, you should try to wear a mask when you are in contact with the elderly.

Guangzhou Customs reduces customs clearance time of import and export goods by 60% to promote cross-border trade facilitation.

  Is it cumbersome for export cosmetics manufacturers to go through customs filing procedures? How to go through customs clearance procedures? How to apply for cosmetic inspection? How to become a customs AEO enterprise? On August 30th, Guangzhou Customs held a special presentation on the policy of "Customs Entering Enterprises" and "How to Go Global for Cosmetic Enterprises", and answered questions on export cosmetics, customs credit management and other related policies throughout the chain. More than 100 representatives from more than 80 export cosmetics manufacturers returned home with full loads.

  Since the beginning of this year, in order to further optimize the business environment and promote the facilitation of cross-border trade, Guangzhou Customs has organized more than 20 seminars on the credit system, and given special guidance on AEO standards to more than 2,000 enterprises. First, it has tried some measures such as simplifying the filing of export cosmetics manufacturers and "internet plus’s voluntary disclosure", such as "reducing licenses to facilitate people" and "promoting business with integrity", accelerating the promotion of "Internet+government services" and speeding up the construction of "smart customs". In August, the overall customs clearance time of Guangzhou Customs was 25.22 hours for imported goods and 2.71 hours for exported goods, both of which were reduced by more than 60% compared with 2017.

  "One Form" to Complete Enterprise Filing

  Make government services easier.

  "The biggest feeling is that there are fewer materials to be handed in. Not only do you need to provide business-related materials, but you don’t need to submit the industrial and commercial business license. You only need a piece of A4 paper to print the Information Filing Form for Export Cosmetic Manufacturers," said Xu Yandan, a salesman of Guangdong Rubik’s Cube Cosmetic Technology Co., Ltd. On August 22nd, less than an hour after applying for filing with Tianhe Customs, which belongs to Guangzhou Customs, Xu Yandan only filled in a form and completed all the formalities of filing for export cosmetics manufacturers.

  In order to further "reduce the license and facilitate the people", Guangzhou Customs went into the enterprise to carry out extensive investigation and research. In view of the problem that enterprises report a large number of application materials for the record of export cosmetics production enterprises, we will organize a special demonstration, try to simplify them first in the country, and make it clear that materials that can be replaced by online verification or notification of commitments, and that the customs can independently verify them do not need to be submitted to the customs repeatedly.

  "Can ‘ Reduce the certificate ’ It’s because Guangzhou Customs has been promoting the informatization construction, connecting with the data of the local government’s commercial subject information platform, and exempting enterprises from submitting the verifiable enterprise market supervision (industry and commerce) registration information and unified social credit code repeatedly, "said Li Xiaohong, head of Tianhe Customs under Guangzhou Customs.

  On the basis that the General Administration of Customs has simplified and integrated the deployment of the documents attached to the import declaration in the early stage, Guangzhou Customs has continued to streamline the documents and materials required for import and export customs clearance, and promoted paperless and online customs clearance. Cancel the enterprise-related list, invoice and paper declaration power of attorney, and the enterprise will provide it in a paperless way when it is really necessary for customs examination. Fully promote the application function of "single window" standard edition, realize enterprises to print export certificates of origin through "single window", promote the functions of tax reduction and exemption review and confirmation and follow-up management business application, and promote the self-printing of "special customs payment book" At the same time, electronic seals such as administrative seal and special seal for administrative license are fully enabled on the online processing platform of customs administrative examination and approval, effectively solving the "last mile" problem of online processing of customs administrative examination and approval.

  Average customs clearance time of AEO enterprises in the first eight months

  41% faster than ordinary enterprises

  "After becoming an AEO advanced certification enterprise, on the one hand, the company’s customs clearance at home and abroad is more convenient, the delivery time is shortened, and the business reputation is more guaranteed; On the other hand, foreign customers are more willing to cooperate with customs high-credit enterprises, and our competitiveness in the international market has been improved. " Liu Jianhui, CEO of Guangdong Jianmei Aluminum Profile Factory (Group) Co., Ltd. said, "According to preliminary statistics, the company’s cargo inspection rate, customs clearance time and customs clearance cost have all decreased by about 40%. The total export trade in the first eight months of this year was about 14.46 million US dollars, an increase of about 21% year-on-year."

  AEO is the abbreviation of "certified operator", and customs AEO enterprises include advanced certification enterprises and general certification enterprises. AEO system mainly certifies enterprises with high credit status, law-abiding degree and safety level through customs, and certified enterprises can get customs clearance facilities, such as giving priority to customs clearance procedures, reducing the rate of goods inspection, offering preferential tax guarantee, setting up coordinators to solve problems encountered in customs clearance, greatly shortening customs clearance time and enjoying joint incentives from relevant state departments. Up to now, China Customs has achieved AEO mutual recognition with 41 countries and regions in 14 economies, including Singapore, South Korea, European Union, Switzerland, New Zealand, Israel and Japan, and given each other convenient measures for AEO enterprises.

  Liang Huiqi, director of the Enterprise Management and Inspection Department of Guangzhou Customs, said that becoming an AEO advanced certification enterprise is equivalent to getting a "green pass" for international trade. Customs in different countries can give preferential and convenient measures to AEO enterprises in the other country through AEO mutual recognition system. In this way, whether Chinese enterprises "go out" or foreign goods "are brought in", it is more convenient and time-saving, safe, fast and low-cost.

  The data shows that this year is 1-mdash; In August, the average import clearance time of AEO enterprises in Guangzhou customs clearance area was 4.16 hours, 41% faster than that of general credit enterprises. At present, the number of AEO enterprises in Guangzhou customs area has reached 1217, 1-mdash; In August, the import and export value exceeded $66 billion, accounting for more than 53% of the total import and export value of enterprises in the customs area. Guangzhou Customs also cooperated with 33 local government departments to implement 20 joint incentive measures, and 376 AEO enterprises enjoyed such conveniences as giving priority to export tax rebates.

  "Active disclosure" encourages enterprises to be more law-abiding.

  Implementing "Trust Management" to Reduce Burden and Increase Efficiency

  "In the process of internal audit, the company found that a charge to be paid was related to imported goods, but it was not determined whether to pay when the goods were imported, so it was not declared to the customs. After discovering the problem, I didn’t know how to deal with it. Later, I learned about the customs when I attended the presentation ‘ Voluntary disclosure ’ The system immediately submitted the self-inspection report as required. After strict examination by the customs, the administrative punishment was exempted according to law. " Liang Guifen, manager of Guangzhou Jebsen Beverage (China) Co., Ltd. said.

  Liang Guifen believes that "voluntary disclosure" gives enterprises the opportunity to take the initiative to correct mistakes, and also reduces the impact of omissions on the company’s operations. In April this year, the company voluntarily disclosed the royalties involved in the beer and other goods it imported in 2018, and after accounting by the customs inspection department, it voluntarily paid more than 9 million yuan in taxes. Because it met the conditions of "voluntary disclosure", Guangzhou Customs exempted it from administrative punishment according to the Customs Inspection Regulations.

  The "voluntary disclosure" system implemented by the customs encourages enterprises to report to the customs in writing on their own initiative the errors that are not in conformity with the customs management regulations and are not found by the customs after self-inspection by enterprises. Customs can provide preferential policies such as reducing or exempting tax late fees and administrative penalties for law-abiding and self-disciplined enterprises according to the law, which not only improves the efficiency of customs administrative law enforcement, but also greatly encourages enterprises to consciously abide by the law and is conducive to creating a good business environment.

  "We launched ‘ in August. Internet plus voluntarily disclosed ’ , online processing makes the process clearer, the communication between enterprises and enterprises more efficient, and improves the enterprise ‘ Voluntary disclosure ’ The enthusiasm. " Wang Lei, Deputy Chief of Inspection Business Management Section of Enterprise Management and Inspection Department of Guangzhou Customs, introduced. In the first eight months of this year, Guangzhou Customs accepted 67 cases of "voluntary disclosure" by enterprises, involving about 31.67 million yuan in taxes.

  In order to encourage enterprises to be honest and law-abiding, Guangzhou Customs also implements trust management for enterprises in the customs area, further clarifies the work related to the "voluntary disclosure" system and fault-tolerant mechanism, and does not record customs declaration errors for "declare in advance" customs declarations that meet the prescribed conditions. The operation time for customs to review the application for customs declaration error review has been reduced to an average of about 20 minutes, which has effectively reduced the burden and increased efficiency for enterprises. So far, 601 relevant customs declarations have been reviewed for errors, and the number of applications for review by enterprises has increased by 23% year-on-year.

  "Online Customs" and China Unicom’s customs clearance are deeper.

  Government service "Guangdong saves trouble"

  On July 19th, as the customs officers of Foshan Customs Office in Gaoming, a subsidiary of Guangzhou Customs, obtained the bonded goods data of Guangdong Yida Textile Co., Ltd. on the special government service (Guangzhou) system of "internet plus Customs", Guangzhou Customs successfully connected the ERP system of customs networked supervision enterprises with "online customs" for the first time.

  Enterprise Resource Planning, also known as "enterprise resource planning", refers to the establishment of an enterprise management system based on computer information system, which integrates material resources, human resources, financial resources and information resources.

  "Through ‘ Online Customs ’ It is very convenient to handle customs business, but before that, we still need to submit the inventory data of the electronic account book verification cycle to the customs business site when the electronic account book expires, and because of the wide variety of bonded goods in our company, the long production process and the large amount of data, every time we submit the data, we must have special personnel to follow up. " Mai Zhiwei, manager of Guangdong Yida Textile Co., Ltd. said, "This time, our ERP system and ‘ Online Customs ’ Networking docking, as long as the enterprise is turned on for 5 minutes, the customs can grab the required business data online, which reduces the time of going to and from the scene, and also avoids human errors for us. The saved manpower, financial resources and time can make us more focused on production and operation. "

  Recently, Guangzhou Customs has actively promoted the docking of "online customs" with Guangdong’s "digital government" construction project and achieved initial results. Six government service items, such as "printing without registration certificate for enterprises", "processing result without registration certificate for resident offices" and "application for cancellation of resident offices", have been integrated into Guangdong government service self-service terminal, and two platforms, such as Guangzhou inbound and outbound postal express customs clearance inquiry and Guangzhou cross-border e-commerce goods customs clearance inquiry, have been successfully docked with the mobile phone terminal.

  The relevant person in charge of Guangzhou Customs said that Guangzhou Customs will implement the work arrangements of the General Administration of Customs and Guangdong Province to enhance cross-border trade facilitation, persist in striving for progress while maintaining stability, and further optimize processes, streamline documents, improve efficiency, reduce costs, create an honest and law-abiding business environment and promote cross-border trade facilitation on the existing basis.

Interstellar visitors invade the solar system: does life on earth come from another galaxy?

  Today viewpoint

  In the autumn of 2017, the cigar-shaped Oumuamua broke into the solar system and became the first interstellar visitor discovered and confirmed by scientists, which caused a lot of noise and turmoil in the scientific community. Although it is still unknown whether it is an asteroid, a comet or an alien spacecraft, American scientists have recently said that "flying immortals from outer space" like Omo Mo may not be special, and the elements of life on earth may originate from other star systems, which arrived on Earth by hitchhiking with interstellar visitors like Omo Mo Mo.

  But at present, these are only assumptions. We need to "catch" more celestial bodies similar to Omo Mo for in-depth research with the help of large telescopes in the future to get the final answer.

  "Omo Mo" is not special

  The researchers said that "Omo Mo" is the first confirmed interstellar object we have observed in the solar system, but this does not mean that it is the first interstellar object to reach the solar system in history.

  "We think, like ‘ Omo Mo ’ Such an object … … At any time, there will be one at a distance of one astronomical unit from the sun (the average distance between the earth and the sun is about 150 million kilometers). " At the "Breakthrough Discuss" conference held at the University of California, Berkeley last month, Bill Porter, head of the Department of Space Studies at the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado, said, "This actually has a very meaningful impact, similar to ‘ Omo Mo ’ Objects may bring life from one celestial body to another. "

  This idea is called "panspermia)— — The theory put forward by scientists in the 1970s that life on earth came from space. At that time, the British physicist Lord kelvin believed that alien bacteria could reach the earth by comet or meteor and thrive on the earth; Other scientists believe that microorganisms can be embedded in dust particles and pass through galaxies, and they run from one planetary system to another through slight stellar radiation pressure.

  Can provide heat insulation and radiation protection for microorganisms.

  At present, the exact size of Omo Momo is still unknown, but researchers believe that its longest size is no more than 800 meters. The object will show "non-gravitational acceleration" when it is far away from the sun, which makes people speculate that "Omo Mo" may be some kind of alien spacecraft.

  But the more common view is that the "intruder" of this solar system is very cold, and its strange movement is caused by the exhaust gas similar to a comet. When the comet approaches the sun, the ice on it will sublimate directly from solid to gas, forming a huge comet head and a long comet tail. When these gases are released, astronomers can use telescopes to study and determine their composition.

  Karen Mitch, an astrobiologist at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Hawaii, said: "This tells us that ice can be preserved after such a long journey." Previous studies on comets and other small celestial bodies in our solar system show that objects like Omo have good heat insulation and radiation protection functions, which is good news for any microorganism that may "hitchhike". "Living organic matter can be found in ‘ Omo Mo ’ The interior is well protected. "

  Astronomers have not found the star system that gave birth to Omo, so we don’t know how long ago Omo was ejected into the dark and cold interstellar dust. But Mickey said that it may have traveled through interstellar space for 10 million years or more.

  Looking for the next interstellar object to study.

  Of course, it is still unclear whether any hypothetical creature on Omo will survive the collision with the earth. Mickey said that this icy object hit us at a speed of 215,000 km/h relative to our planet. "This is a very high impact speed."

  In this regard, Stern Sigurdsson, a professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Pennsylvania State University, said in another speech at the "Breakthrough Discussion" conference that "Omo Mo" and its "passengers" may be quite soft, so after hitting the earth, they may land relatively gently and disperse when they break into our atmosphere.

  Sigurdsson said that the previous work of Ivey Laueber, director of the astronomy department of Harvard University, and others, as well as his own calculations show that in the nearly 4.6 billion years of history of our planet, about 100 celestial bodies like Omo have hit the earth. "So, we don’t know whether there is a biota inside one of these celestial bodies."

  Laueber added that we don’t know where Omo is now. "Therefore, it is more meaningful to find the next interstellar object." The powerful large-scale weather measuring telescope (SST) is scheduled to take off from Chile next year and begin to observe the sky. When it runs "full of blood", it may find an interstellar object every month for our study.

  In addition, scientists suggest that it is also possible that life reached the earth only a short distance long ago. Earthlike planets in our solar system exchange rocks quite regularly, as evidenced by the increasing number of Martian meteorites on earth. In fact, some researchers believe that life on earth may have started on the red planet, and a Martian stone reached the earth in a strong impact.

  Of course, all this is just a hypothesis, and more scientific evidence is needed to reveal one of the ultimate puzzles of mankind — — Where we come from.

More than 10 tons of chemically synthesized fake jellyfish silk entering the market is harmful to long-term consumption.

  In fact, this "artificial jellyfish silk" is not a seafood at all. Its raw materials are three food additives: sodium alginate, ammonium aluminum sulfate (commonly known as alum) and anhydrous calcium chloride.

  Jellyfish silk has also been faked! Yesterday, the media in Hangzhou revealed that Huzhou police seized a large number of fake jellyfish silk in the local farmers’ market according to the report, and then traced it to a ton of fake jellyfish silk. The so-called "jellyfish silk" was all artificially synthesized with chemical raw materials. And the source of this fake jellyfish silk is actually in Changzhou.

  The Yangzi Evening News reporter contacted Changzhou police to confirm that it was true. An Anhui couple hired a coolie in Changzhou and rented a private house in Zouqu, Changzhou as a small workshop to produce and process this fake jellyfish silk.

  Yangzi Evening News All-Media Reporter Zhang Bin

  False jellyfish silk exposure

  After the information of "Fake jellyfish silk" is released, frightened friends may need a dish of real jellyfish silk to suppress the shock, so it is necessary to popularize science here — —

  How to tell true from false jellyfish silk?

  false

  Jellyfish silk:

  It’s transparent, tasteless and tough, and it’s not easy to break by pulling it gently with your hands. If you take it out of the water and put it for a while, it will be as soft as scotch tape.

  real

  Jellyfish silk:

  It looks white and yellow, and smells fishy. High-quality jellyfish silk is white or light yellow, with color and no erythema and sediment. Spread out jellyfish silk, the bigger, the whiter and the thinner the better. The meat is crisp, not hard, not broken, crunchy and chewy.

  The case is full of ups and downs

  Media exposure:

  Huzhou seized "artificial jellyfish silk"

  The suspect confessed that he was learning from Changzhou’s "master".

  On May 7th, Hangzhou media published a case that Huzhou police cracked the sale of fake jellyfish silk.

  According to the media report, "three suspects, including Yuan Mou, illegally produced and sold fake jellyfish in the farmer’s market in Shangcheng Road, Zhili Town, Huzhou for almost a year!" In late April this year, the Food and Drug Ring Detachment of Huzhou Public Security Bureau received such a report. Huzhou police immediately joined forces with the Market Supervision Bureau to enforce the law. On April 22nd, they seized more than 300 kilograms of "artificial jellyfish silk" on the spot.

  After investigation, since June, 2015, Yuan and others, knowing that the artificial jellyfish silk did not meet the food safety standards, still used sodium alginate, anhydrous calcium chloride, ammonium aluminum sulfate and other raw materials to make artificial jellyfish silk, and sold it in the frozen food store operated by Shangcheng Road Farmers’ Market in Zhili Town, making an illegal profit of more than 70,000 yuan.

  According to Yuan, he also knows that this fake jellyfish silk is harmful, but the wholesale price of jellyfish in the past two years is generally 30-50 kg, and the breeding period is about 40 days. The cost of fake jellyfish is nearly half lower than that of cultured jellyfish, and it sells well and the production cycle is not long, so they will take risks for almost a year.

  He also said that his craft was learned from the "master" in Changzhou, and the raw materials were also imported from the "master".

  Therefore, Huzhou police rushed to Changzhou, and on the afternoon of April 29, they arrested Jia, the "master" Yuan said, and his accomplices Sun and Ma. And seized 1 ton of finished and semi-finished products of "artificial jellyfish silk" at the scene! After investigation, Jia and other three people have produced more than 10 tons of fake jellyfish in the past year, making an illegal profit of more than 100,000 yuan.

  Jia confessed that people from many places came here to study art and purchase goods.

  Reporter connection:

  Changzhou police cooperate with "one pot end"

  The "counterfeiting den" is located in a private house in Zou District, Changzhou.

  Yesterday afternoon, the reporter contacted Changzhou police to confirm that it did happen. According to Changzhou police, Huzhou police, together with law enforcement officers from the local market supervision department, came to Changzhou. After knowing the specific location of the fake dens, they asked Changzhou police to cooperate with them to arrest the suspects.

  "Food cases are no small matter!" After receiving the instruction, the Public Security Bureau of Zhonglou attached great importance to it, and immediately arranged nearly 20 police officers to cooperate with the arrest. Everyone Qi Xin worked together to arrest the suspects Jia Mou, Sun Mou and Ma Mou in a private house in Qianjia Village, Zouqu Village Committee, Zouqu Town, Zhonglou District.

  A police officer involved in the arrest told reporters that they were also surprised when they saw the scene! Houses have become private workshops filled with plastic buckets of all sizes. Three people are producing and processing "fake jellyfish silk" in the workshop. Law enforcement officers in Huzhou seized a large number of raw materials and "fake jellyfish silk" at the scene. Later, I called a truck to drag these fake tools and products back to Huzhou.

  According to Changzhou police, the trial of the case, taking photos on the spot and obtaining evidence were all conducted by Huzhou police and law enforcement officers of the local market supervision department. Changzhou police mainly cooperate with the arrest work and are not very clear about the specific circumstances of the case. However, Changzhou police learned that the three suspects were all from Anhui, two of them were husband and wife, and the other was a coolie hired by the husband and wife. The couple are doing business in Changzhou, but the Huzhou police are still investigating where the "fake jellyfish silk" flows.

  Changzhou police said that there may be some action in the later stage of the case, and Changzhou police will pay close attention to the case dynamics.

  Fake jellyfish silk is very harmful.

  Long-term consumption will lead to malnutrition, neurasthenia, and even stupidity.

  Long-term consumption of "artificial jellyfish silk" is extremely harmful. Sodium alginate is a good thickener and a safe food additive in "artificial jellyfish silk". However, additives are additives after all, and it is somewhat inappropriate to eat additives as food. The reporter checked the relevant information and found that sodium alginate contains more cellulose. Although cellulose has certain benefits to the human body, eating too much will affect the absorption of nutrients. It will also adsorb minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc existing in other foods in the intestines, so that these nutrients can not be absorbed by the human body, so eating more can cause malnutrition and other symptoms due to lack of various minerals.

  In addition, another raw material in "artificial jellyfish silk" is alum. This material has a high content of aluminum, which will affect the absorption of calcium, iron and other minerals by the human body for a long time, leading to osteoporosis, anemia and so on. In addition, long-term intake of aluminum can affect or even destroy the human nervous system, which significantly increases the incidence of neurasthenia and even makes people susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease, that is, senile dementia. After testing, the aluminum content in the "artificial jellyfish silk" made by Jia and others exceeded the standard seriously, reaching 600-800mg. Long-term consumption is extremely harmful.

Bitcoin broke the record high of 8,000 yuan, and the British media reported that its value was zero.

  Bitcoin’s "madness" in this round has been somewhat lasting.

  On January 5, according to the data of Huobi.com, a domestic bitcoin trading platform, at 1: 10 am, the price of bitcoin broke through the historical high of 8,000 yuan three years ago, setting a historical record. As of 8: 45 on January 5, the highest price of bitcoin reached 8650 yuan, and the price increased by more than 260% within one year.

  The British "Guardian" said that market analysts believe that the main driving force for this round of bitcoin price surge is in China — — In 2016, the RMB depreciated by nearly 7%, the worst performance in 20 years, which triggered a huge demand for Bitcoin.

  The historical highest price of Bitcoin was 8,000 yuan on November 19th, 2013. A month ago, the price of Bitcoin was still hovering around 1000 yuan, and it tripled in a short time. However, this price fell after less than 1 minute, and then it bottomed out all the way, reaching a minimum of 933 yuan.

  Compared with that rise, Bitcoin rose slightly steadily this time, from 2,351 yuan in early 2016 to 8,000 yuan in early 2017.

  Zhu Jiawei, COO of Huobi.com, said that this round of 8,000 yuan market is very different from that in 2013: First of all, the current bitcoin transaction volume is not the same as that of that year. When the highest price of Huobi was 8,000 yuan in 2013, the weekly transaction volume was 393,000 bitcoins, with a weekly amplitude of 103%, which was very small and was greatly affected by funds; Now, when the price of bitcoin breaks 8,000 yuan, the transaction volume in the four days after Huobi Net Festival is 7.35 million bitcoins, which is 37 times of that year’s transaction volume. The price amplitude in the four days after New Year’s Day in 2017 is 15.95%, which is much more stable than that year.

  In addition, Zhu Jiawei believes that after the application of Bitcoin is promoted, the price tends to be stable. Although Bitcoin rose by 260% from 2016 to 2017, it won the top spot among many investment varieties. However, in the whole year of 2016, according to the data of Huobi. com, the daily price of Bitcoin rose and fell by 10% or more in less than five days, while in 2013, the daily price rose and fell by about 10%.

  For Bitcoin entering the bull market in the past year, Zhu Jiawei analyzed the reasons: First, the underlying technology blockchain of Bitcoin has been recognized by major banks and financial institutions around the world; Secondly, in early 2016, the central bank held a digital currency seminar to start studying digital currency and blockchain technology; This year, domestic mainstream investment products, including stock market, property market, gold, etc., performed poorly on the whole, while bitcoin rose very well, and funds turned to bitcoin investment channels; Bitcoin halved its output for the second time in July 2016, which also promoted market sentiment fluctuations and pushed up prices.

  Xu Mingxing, founder and CEO of OKCoin, another bitcoin trading platform in China, analyzed this wave of gains: "According to the laws of the trading market, investment products will rise if they follow a long decline, and will fall if they rise for a long time. Judging from the cycle of Bitcoin, this price increase is a long-term cumulative result after the price peak in 2013. But it is investors’ confidence in Bitcoin that affects the price of Bitcoin for a long time. "

  The US "Wall Street Journal" reported in May last year that some analysts said that the rise of Bitcoin was mainly driven by the demand in China market brought about by the recent RMB depreciation, and the two major bitcoin trading platforms in China — — Huobi and OKCoin— — At present, it constitutes about 92% of the total global bitcoin transactions.

  Just as the speculators were ecstatic, the Financial Times "poured a pot of cold water", saying that the value of Bitcoin was zero.

  "A trading intermediary is always ups and downs, then it is a useless currency. In fact, Bitcoin has all the characteristics of pyramid scams. It requires that believers continue to enter the market to push up prices, and this is based on the promise that more believers will join in the future, so the value of Bitcoin will be the same as that of all pyramid scams. Zero. " The Financial Times reported on January 4th that.

  In China, bitcoin as a currency has never been recognized by the regulatory authorities. Five ministries and commissions, including the central bank, said in the Notice on Preventing Bitcoin Risks issued in December 2013 that although Bitcoin is called "currency", it is not a real currency because it is not issued by the monetary authorities, and it does not have monetary attributes such as legal compensation and compulsion. In nature, bitcoin should be a specific virtual commodity, which does not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market.

Du Zhaocai is the highest-ranking official in football, and only two vice-chairmen of the Football Association remain in operation.

On March 23, 2023, Du Zhaocai attended the annual work conference of key cities of national football development.

According to the website of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on April 1, Du Zhaocai, a member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the State Sports General Administration, is suspected of serious violation of the law and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the State Commission for Discipline Inspection. Du Zhaocai is currently the party secretary and vice-chairman of China Football Association, and he is also the highest-ranking official in the anti-corruption storm in football.

Du zhaocai.

Nine people were dismissed, and Du Zhaocai was the highest-ranking official.

According to public information, in the past 141 days, nine related persons of China Football Association have been investigated. As early as November 26, 2022, former China men’s football coach Li Tie was suspected of violating the law; With the final of the FA Cup, the last event of China football in the 2022 season, ending in mid-January 2023, the anti-corruption storm once again set off a climax.

On January 19, 2023, Liu Yi, former secretary general of China Football Association, accepted the supervision and investigation, and Chen Yongliang, executive deputy secretary general of China Football Association and Minister of State Administration, accepted the review and investigation; On February 14th, China Football Association President Chen Xiaoyuan was investigated.

At the "Ministerial Channel" of the National People’s Congress this year, Gao Zhidan, director of the State Sports General Administration, said in response to questions related to the "three big balls" that, realistically speaking, for a long time, the development of the three big balls in China, especially the men’s events, was not satisfactory, the level of men’s football dropped all the way, and there were many chaos in the football industry, which formed a strong contrast with the requirements and expectations of the CPC Central Committee and the people of the whole country.

Gao Zhidan said, we should focus on the outstanding problems in the current "Three Balls" work, such as lack of spirit, lack of righteousness, and weak style of work, and persist in changing our style of work, strengthening our responsibility, and grasping implementation. Resolutely crack down and severely punish corruption and fake gambling in football and other fields, correct the wind and discipline, be strict in discipline, improve the system, strengthen the rules, and comprehensively repair and reconstruct the good ecology of the healthy and sustainable development of the’ three big balls’.

On March 27th, The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) of the CPC and Li Xi, leader of the Central Inspection Work Leading Group, attended the National Inspection Work Conference and the first round of the 20th Central Inspection Mobilization Deployment Meeting and delivered speeches. Li Xi stressed that to carry out the mobile patrol of the State Sports General Administration, we should focus on fulfilling the party’s leadership functions and responsibilities, implementing the major decision-making arrangements for building a sports power, and thoroughly find out and promote the solution of corruption and deep-seated institutional mechanisms in the sports field, especially in the football field, so as to provide a strong guarantee for building a sports power.

Du zhaocai.

After the two sessions, football anti-corruption refreshed the official level record.

On March 24th, Wang Xiaoping, director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of China Football Association, and Huang Song, minister of competition department, were suspected of serious violation of discipline and law, and were investigated. On March 29th, Yu Hongchen, former vice chairman of China Football Association, was investigated, and Dong Zheng, former general manager of Super League Company, was investigated. It is worth mentioning that, as the chairman of the current IAAF, Yu Hongchen was a bureau-level cadre, and at that time he was already the first bureau-level cadre to fall in the anti-corruption storm in football. ?

Du Zhaocai, as the deputy director of the General Administration, is a deputy ministerial-level cadre, which has set a new record for football anti-corruption officials. In fact, the anti-corruption storm in football started at the end of 2009, and the highest-level officials such as Xie Yalong and Nan Yong were also limited to the bureau level. This time, the deputy ministerial-level cadres were dismissed, and their ranks were also the highest among the officials who were dismissed in previous football anti-corruption storms.

According to public information, Du Zhaocai, 63, who is currently the deputy director of the State Sports General Administration and the party secretary and vice chairman of the China Football Association, once served as a director of the FIFA Council, chairman of the AFC Referee Committee, executive chairman of the China Organizing Committee of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup and chairman of the East Asian Football Association.

In April last year, Du Zhaocai was elected as the new president of the East Asian Football Association (from 2022 to 2026). At the beginning of this year, Du Zhaocai failed to run for FIFA director, and he ranked last among the seven candidates.

He has repeatedly denounced football corruption in public.

According to the Nanfang Daily, Du Zhaocai has repeatedly denounced football corruption in public-at the National Conference on Competition Discipline and Anti-Doping Work in the Football Industry held in August 2022, Du Zhaocai emphasized that the competition discipline and anti-doping problems, especially the problem of "fake gambling on the black", are the concentrated expression of unhealthy trends in the football industry and a cancer that affects the healthy development of the football industry.

"The vast number of football practitioners should fully understand the special significance of competition discipline and anti-doping work to football work, thoroughly investigate and analyze the problems, take resolute and effective measures to promote competition discipline and anti-doping work, crack down on the rising trend of’ fake gambling on black’ in football field with zero tolerance, create a clean and healthy football style, and promote the healthy development of football in China." Du Zhaocai said.

Just about half a month ago, the Chinese Football Association held a meeting of all cadres. At the meeting, Du Zhaocai said that in the face of the outstanding problems in the current football industry, we must have the courage to face the problems directly.

"Deeply learn from the lessons of a series of recent corruption cases, learn from mistakes, learn from cases, promote reform by cases, find out the reasons, plug loopholes, improve systems and mechanisms, be brave in taking responsibility and fighting, manage and solve ideological problems such as bad tendencies and negative slack in the association, strengthen confidence, make full efforts, change style, break through difficulties, get back on its feet, and strive to open up a new football in China.

According to the official website of the Football Association, on March 23rd, the annual work conference of key cities for national football development was held in the National Football Training Base (Xianghe). Du Zhaocai attended the meeting and delivered a speech.

After Du Zhaocai’s fall, only two vice-chairmen of the Football Association remained in operation.

There are only two vice presidents left in the Football Association to keep running.

According to Beijing Youth Daily, Du Zhaocai’s last public appearance in China Football Association was on the afternoon of March 24th. On the morning of the same day, the news that Huang Song, director of the Competition Department of China Football Association, and Wang Xiaoping, director of the Disciplinary Committee of the Association, were taken away for investigation on suspicion of violating discipline and law was confirmed by official channels.

On the afternoon of the same day, the China Football Association made a briefing on the situation of these two people internally, and at the same time took this opportunity to give a warning education to all middle-level cadres of the Football Association again. The form was the same as that of the anti-corruption warning meeting held after the original China Football Association President Chen Yuyuan, former Secretary-General Liu Yi and Executive Deputy Secretary-General Chen Yongliang were taken away for investigation.

It is worth noting that Du Zhaocai never appeared in the office of the Football Association after attending the anti-corruption warning meeting of the Football Association and speaking at the meeting. This week, Gao Zhidan, director of the General Administration of Sports, and his party went to Liaoning for investigation, and Du Zhaocai was not among them.

After Chen Xiaoyuan and Liu Yi were investigated, the daily work of the Football Association was always presided over by Du Zhaocai. Now, under the investigation of Du Zhaocai, there are only two vice-chairmen in charge of specific business, Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Yan Zhanhe and deputy secretary-general David He, in China Football Association.

Who will be responsible for the daily work next remains to be determined. Therefore, the outside world is also worried that whether the new season Super League can start on April 15th as scheduled will be marked with a big question mark.
