If you open the column,

  The party newspaper is connected with the party’s heart and connected with the people’s heart. What the masses care about is what the party newspaper cares about. Party newspapers have always been an important platform for listening to people’s voices, transmitting public opinions, relieving people’s difficulties and serving the people. In order to better respond to people’s concerns, explore the truth of the incident, eliminate misunderstandings and actively transmit positive energy, Fujian Daily has opened an "interactive investigation" column from now on to conduct investigation and research around related new things, new phenomena, new policies and hot topics on the Internet, and invite departments, experts and netizens to participate in interactive exchanges, so please pay attention.

 

Interactive background

  Recently, news such as "400 demonstration dining halls for the elderly will be built in our province", "The first Yonghui dining hall in Fuzhou will be opened" and "Longyan: As long as 5 yuan is available, there are different dishes every day" have aroused widespread concern among readers and heated discussion among netizens, and the livelihood project of the elderly dining hall has gradually entered the vision and life of more people.

  Meal-assisted service is related to the people’s livelihood and well-being of the elderly, and it is the content of the construction of the service system of "seeing the good and supporting the healthy". Our province focuses on the elderly, especially those with financial difficulties and special elderly groups such as empty nest, living alone, old age and disability, guiding to revitalize existing resources, supporting the participation of multiple subjects, increasing policy subsidies, and making the elderly "warm their stomachs and hearts" with "the temperature of a hot meal".

  However, many canteens for the elderly are facing difficulties in operation. According to media reports, the loss of the elderly canteen in a central province reached 61.77%; A city in Jiangsu has built 2059 food-aid restaurants, but only 913 have actually operated, and half of them are operating at a loss. The Beijing Investigation Corps of the National Bureau of Statistics has conducted a typical survey on 40 dining table institutions for the elderly. The results show that 55% of the canteen operators said that the price of meals is difficult to keep pace with the cost, and the loss gap tends to increase.

  In 2019, our province started the construction of the elderly canteen. In June 2022, the Provincial Civil Affairs Department and other five departments issued the Guiding Opinions on the Construction and Operation of Dining Rooms for the Elderly. In January this year, 13 departments, including the Provincial Civil Affairs Department, issued the "Several Measures on Accelerating the Development of Food Aid Services for the Elderly", which guaranteed the food aid work for the elderly from the policies and regulations. The construction of canteens for the elderly in our province was carried out early and well. However, in the course of operation, some canteens were unable to make ends meet and were unsustainable. How to find a solution for the sustainable development of the elderly canteen? The reporter launched an investigation on this.

 

Reviews from netizens

Netizen "positive":Do good things for the elderly, eat affordable food, and serve the people wholeheartedly! Positive energy canteen.

Netizen "a heart yearning for freedom":Although there are not many dishes in my dining hall for the elderly, at least it is fresh. Crucially, it’s very cheap, old people and children 12 yuan, adults 15 yuan. By the way, it is self-help! That is to say, as long as 15 yuan is satisfied. The food will not taste too oily, with less oil and less salt.

Netizen "prodigal son!" :Very good! How many left-behind elderly people’s daily life problems have been reduced, can we all implement them in Yongding?

Netizen "let it be":When will we open one in Pingyuan Village, Linan Town, Xianyou County, and often ask my mother to eat it, hoping that the government will fully bloom.

Netizen "March Folding Cat":My village did the same at first, but it didn’t last long.

Netizen "lyzxwldytl":We haven’t heard from the elderly canteen in our community for a long time, and I don’t know if it is still open.

Netizen "the clouds are light and the wind is light XYY":If the government does not strongly supervise and subsidize the community elderly canteen, it will basically last for half a year.

Netizen "Yibu":We can make full use of the resources of supermarkets to develop canteens for the elderly. (Southeast Network reporter Feng Xu finishing)

 

The temperature of a hot meal

  Recently, the reporter went to Fuzhou, Longyan and Xianyou in three ways to visit and experience the canteen service for the elderly.

  At 11 noon, the dining hall for the elderly in Qingcheng Community, Gulou District, Fuzhou City began to be lively.

  The dining hall is designed in red, which is festive and warm. The pattern of bright kitchen in Ming dynasty, the operation of back kitchen is clear at a glance, and the cleanliness of kitchen utensils is reassuring. Chefs dressed in red and black hats put steaming dishes at the window. The old man walked past with plates in turn and chose his lunch among the rich dishes. In the workshop next to it, all kinds of pesticide residue tests, quarantine certificates, traceability certificates, food safety diaries and food samples are available.

  The reporter also picked up the tray, selected three dishes of fish, pig blood and vegetables, and then served free soup and rice. "A total of 13 yuan, this is the social price. Old people can enjoy a 30% discount when dining with a silver age card. " Jiang Fengjuan, a community helper, told reporters that most of the people who come here to eat are elderly residents in the community, and about 20% of the customers are members of the community. Mr. Zhang, who dined at the scene, said: "This dining hall for the elderly is well run. The dishes are very rich, and the taste is very suitable for the elderly. You can eat with confidence." Ms. Liu, who is next to her, said that if she cooks at home, it will take a lot of time from buying food to washing dishes, and the meals of one or two people can’t make any tricks. The dining hall for the elderly liberates herself from the kitchen and greatly enhances her happiness.

  At 11: 00 noon, more than 50 elderly people dined in the canteen of Kongfu Village Chief, Peifeng Town, yongding county, Longyan City. The dishes with rich varieties and reasonable combination of meat and vegetables are neatly arranged in the window, and the elderly can choose them in turn according to their own preferences and appetite. "There are 15 elderly people in their 90 s like me in the village. We come here every day to play chess and chat, and then eat for free." Uncle Zhang, a villager, gave a thumbs-up for the elderly canteen. "The dining hall for the elderly is operated in the mode of’ village-level hosting, government support and donations from rural sages’, and the elderly aged 60 to 70 only need to spend 5 yuan per meal, the elderly aged 70 to 80 3 yuan, the elderly aged 80 to 90 2 yuan, and the elderly over 90 are free. Each elderly person has two meats, one vegetable and one soup per meal." Zhang Lianghua, a rural revitalization consultant in the village, said that with the help of Xiang Xian, the canteen has gradually improved its functions, and there is also a chess room, a library and an activity room indoors, so that the elderly canteen can not only help with meals, but also become a good place for the elderly to relax.

  At lunch time, the food in the dining hall of Yushan Village Chief in Linan Town, Xianyou County is fragrant, and the old people in the village come together and chat while eating. Lin Jinshou, the person in charge of the canteen, said: "The chef has made a variety of recipes, and the food is not the same every day. We try to make it soft, light and mixed with vegetarian dishes, which is more in line with the appetite of the elderly." Yushan Village is located in the south bank of Mulan River. There are 360 elderly people over 60 years old, most of whom are "empty nesters". In the past, when old people worked in the fields, they didn’t have time to cook lunch when they were busy, so they could only heat up the leftovers to cope with their stomachs. In order to solve the problem of eating for the elderly, the village built this provincial-level demonstration dining hall for the elderly with the support of 150,000 yuan of provincial subsidies and township sages, providing services such as food assistance, cultural entertainment and emotional exchange for the elderly in the village.

The hidden worry of a book

  Behind the happiness of the elderly canteen, there is actually a hidden worry of sustainable management.

  Chen Xiaotong, the manager of Fangcheng Community Seniors Dining Hall, told the reporter that the dining hall cooked on the spot, and at the same time, two community Seniors Dining Halls in Kaiyuan Xiang and Guixi delivered food. These three Dining Halls served about 400 people a day, and the rest days were halved.

  The reporter saw in the ledger of the elderly canteen in Qingcheng community in March that the operating income was about 63,000 yuan, the expenditure was about 78,000 yuan, and the book loss was about 15,000 yuan. "This is only Qingcheng, plus Kaiyuan and Guixi communities, with a total loss of 30,000 yuan." Chen Xiaotong said.

  The Neighboring Elderly Dining Hall (Xindian Store) in Jin ‘an District, Fuzhou City was opened in September 2022, and the operator is Changqing Retirement Garden under Fujian Changqing Pension Service Group Co., Ltd. The company operates 17 canteens for the elderly in Xindian Town, among which Xindian Store cooks on the spot and delivers meals to 16 other canteens. Xindian Store is a storefront facing the street due to its superior geographical location, with an average of about 100 people dining every day; The remaining 16 canteens are not well booked for dinner because of the small flow of people. Since October last year, only lunches have been provided, and reservations have to be made one day in advance, and each canteen has ordered more than 10 copies. "At the beginning of the canteen operation, every meal sold was a love given by the company. We insist on providing quality services and the flow of people has steadily increased. At present, these 17 canteens have achieved a balance of payments as a whole. " Xia Min, deputy director of the company’s home operation department, said.

  The reporter learned from a number of grassroots cadres that compared with cities, rural elderly canteens are facing greater operational pressure. For example, in recent years, Jianyang District of Nanping City has opened a total of about 60 rural elderly canteens, and there are about 20 left to maintain daily operations.

  Wage is a big item in the operating cost of the elderly canteen. A grassroots cadre in Songxi County told reporters that a rural elderly canteen must employ at least two staff members and pay about 60,000 yuan a year. However, most rural elderly dining halls have less than 10 elderly people, making ends meet. Chen Xiaotong said that the three community canteens in Qingcheng, Kaiyuan and Guixi employed 16 staff members, with an average daily salary of 2,700 yuan, while the average daily income in March was 4,240 yuan. After deducting the costs of food, water and electricity, the average daily loss was about 1000 yuan.

  Operators of urban and rural canteens for the elderly agree that too few customers are the main reason for business pressure.

Enlightenment of first-line exploration

  Thanks to the policy support, the elderly canteens generally do not have to bear the venue rent, while the water, electricity and gas fees are paid according to civil standards, which saves a lot of money for operation. On this basis, the competent departments and operators of elderly canteens around the country actively explored and contributed a lot of experience worthy of promotion.

  It is a common practice to open to the society and give consideration to both public welfare and profit in urban dining halls for the elderly.

  The dining hall for the elderly in Dahuangshan, Gulou District, Fuzhou achieved a slight profit only two months after its opening. Wang Jianbin, the person in charge of the operation, told the reporter that the canteen serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an average of about 600 meals a day, including about 360 for the elderly and about 240 for the surrounding enterprises. There are many office workers around the canteen who come to eat in the canteen. This part belongs to commercial operation and has certain profit space. At the same time, the canteen has set up a sales area for agricultural products, and the profits generated can subsidize the construction of the elderly canteen. In order to enhance the user’s stickiness, the canteen has built a WeChat group, which sends dishes to the group in advance every day. Residents express their opinions in the group, and the canteen actively adopts improvements. The community relies on the canteen to build a "school" and often organizes recreational activities to gather popularity for the canteen.

  At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the reporter went to the dining hall for the elderly in Shuibei Street, No.4 Xiaoximentou Road, Shaowu City. Several old people went to the table for dinner early. At 5: 30, the canteen became more lively, with customers of all ages. Guan Zhengchao, the person in charge of the canteen, led the reporter through the hall to the other side. On the wall was a plaque with the words "New Area Canteen", and the decoration here was completely different from that of the elderly canteen. "This side is open to the public, that is, the ordinary restaurant, which does not interfere with the elderly canteen, but the kitchen is a set of people doing two things. The dishes are prepared at the same time, and resources are scheduled and shared at any time to save money. The money earned by the restaurant supplements the elderly canteen, which is equivalent to catching a ride in the restaurant. " Guan Zhengchao introduced.

  Most of the canteens for the elderly in rural areas are maintained by means of "government supplement, rural fund-raising, villagers (society) donation and individual payment".

  Liu junhua, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Jianyang District, Nanping City, said that the canteens for the elderly in rural areas that can operate continuously in this district have their own successful experiences. For example, the newly-built village head canteen in Jiangkou Town has been sponsored by the rural sages and donated by the District Charity Federation. At present, there are two tables for the elderly to eat at each meal; The canteen of Hangtou village head in Zhangdun town adopts the mutual aid mode, and enthusiastic villagers volunteer as chefs and administrators, eliminating the salary expenses; Longxia Village in Huilong Township is backed by Hengliang Ecological Poultry Industry Co., Ltd. with an annual output value of 600 million yuan, and co-built with local vegetable planting cooperatives, and got free ingredients.

  The construction of canteen for the elderly can not be separated from the strong financial support. In Jianyang, the district finance gives 30,000 yuan each year as a bonus for the continuously operating elderly canteen. Since 2019, our province has continued to guarantee the construction of the elderly canteen (food aid point) as an important livelihood project, and promoted the construction of the elderly canteen to achieve results. Up to now, the provincial finance has invested a total of 125 million yuan. This year, our province will continue to support the construction of 400 demonstration canteens for the elderly, and the provincial finance will subsidize them according to the standard of 150,000 yuan each.

Departmental solution

Provincial Civil Affairs Department: Make the canteen for the elderly affordable, long-lasting and well run.

  By the end of 2023, 3012 canteens (food-helping points) for the elderly had been built in the province. In order to make the dining hall for the elderly affordable, long-lasting and well-run, our province has adopted the following operational strategies.

  "Can afford it" according to local conditions. In terms of project arrangement, we should pay attention to practical results, and do not rush headlong into action or make rapid progress. Through "overlapping a batch of functions, building and rebuilding a batch, integrating and utilizing a batch, and helping neighbors", all kinds of service facilities with conditions will be incorporated into the elderly food service system as the main position of the elderly food service. From 2022 to 2024, the provincial level subsidized the construction of 1,000 demonstration canteens for the elderly for three consecutive years, and included them in the practical projects of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government for the people.

  Guide the situation to "do it for a long time." Establish a diversified financing mechanism of "individuals give a little, enterprises give a little, the government makes up a little, the collective adds a little, and the society donates a little", adhere to paid services, implement classified subsidies, increase policy support, encourage diversified financing, and promote the sustainable development of catering services for the elderly. In cities, we will promote state-owned enterprises to fulfill their social responsibilities, tap the scale advantages of chain catering enterprises, and create a catering brand that ensures people’s livelihood with small profits and convenience. For example, Fuzhou Chengtou Group established Fuzhou Catering Management Co., Ltd. and built a catering system that is "led by flagship stores+radiated by central canteens+extended by catering points". In rural areas, summarize and promote the "mutual help and filial piety canteen" model in Ningde City, encourage local rural sages to donate to support filial piety, and broaden the sources of funds through multiple channels; Encourage the elderly to help others and help themselves, and carry out labor such as growing vegetables, helping the kitchen and delivering meals; Advocate and mobilize all sectors of society to provide voluntary services for the elderly.

  Because of the need to empower "do well". Innovate the integration mode of "eating and learning together", hold the "Old Age School", turn the dining table into a desk during non-dining hours, teach the knowledge of old-age anti-fraud and the training on the use of intelligent technology, so that the elderly can be full and full of learning. Innovate the construction of intergenerational interactive platform to solve the problem of loneliness of the elderly. The establishment of an open classroom not only enables the elderly to learn something, but also solves the problem of extracurricular nursing and teaching assistance for children. Innovative culture empowers characteristic elements, and integrates cultural elements with unique Fujian characteristics such as "Fu culture" and "New Fujian cuisine culture" into the catering service.

Experts say 

Coordinating multi-resources to promote long-term operation

□ Gan Mantang, President of Fujian Gerontology Society and Professor of Sociology Department of Fuzhou University

  At present, the canteens for the elderly in our province generally lack a sustainable operation mechanism. First of all, the normal operation of the elderly canteen needs an operation team, which is responsible for fund raising, food purchase and processing, food delivery and canteen cleaning. In rural areas, the village committees are mostly responsible for the operation of the elderly canteens, but it is difficult to take into account the daily operation and management of the elderly canteens because of the many affairs of village cadres.

  Secondly, the operation of the elderly canteen lacks sustained funds. The survey found that although most villages can provide canteen space and facilities as required, due to the weak collective economy and limited social donations, the canteen for the elderly will be difficult to sustain after running out of start-up funds provided by the finance. The elderly canteen has to pay labor costs, but the elderly eat less, and most elderly canteens can’t make ends meet. Some well-run elderly canteens are mainly maintained by donations from rural sages, but they also face the problem of sustainability of funds.

  Thirdly, in terms of service, the dining halls for the elderly cover mostly the elderly who can take care of themselves, but the elderly who are "more difficult" to eat are mainly disabled, disabled, elderly and widowed. At present, the catering points in the cities that have been operated have not generally carried out the business of delivering meals to households, so it is difficult to take into account the people who are "more difficult" to eat.

  It is necessary to adjust measures to local conditions, "one village (community) and one policy", and do a good job in helping the elderly. In mountain villages where villagers live in scattered areas, priority should be given to solving the problem of concentrated living of elderly people living alone, and then solving the problem of feeding. Villagers live in relatively concentrated rural areas, relying on the built canteen of Happiness Hospital to provide meals and play the role of the elderly association. The elderly association is responsible for the operation and management of the elderly canteen, and the village Committee provides support. In rural elderly canteens that have been in operation for many years in Putian and Quanzhou, villagers’ WeChat groups are generally set up by village elderly associations to raise funds for canteens through donations, and revenues and expenditures are also announced in WeChat groups to facilitate villagers’ supervision and management. In urban areas, catering services can be provided by relying on streets or community care centers, canteens of government agencies, enterprises and institutions, for-profit fast food restaurants, etc., and community neighborhood committees should do a good job in organizing and coordinating so as to facilitate the elderly to dine nearby. Home delivery service can be combined with the government’s purchase of home-based care services, and professional institutions can undertake home delivery work.

  In order to make the dining hall for the elderly run for a long time, the key lies in coordinating various resources and promoting the sustainable operation of food-helping in multiple modes. In urban areas, local governments are responsible for encouraging street and community care centers to lead and operate in chain enterprises to reduce the cost of food service; Encourage charitable organizations, caring enterprises, caring people and other donations to develop a volunteer service team for food.

  It is necessary to strengthen supervision and management and take many measures to improve the quality of food service. The dining hall for the elderly should give priority to providing lunch, provide breakfast, lunch and dinner if possible, and the service should be continuous and stable. Relevant catering enterprises should fulfill their social responsibilities, provide high-quality and low-cost catering services that the elderly can trust, and form a scale and brand effect.

Miss Dong has another big move: Gree plans to enter the field of automobile air conditioning manufacturing.

On February 9th, according to CCTV’s financial report, recently, Dong Mingzhu revealed a new plan: Gree began to March into automobile air conditioners. Dong Mingzhu said that in 2017, Gree officially entered the field of automobile air conditioning manufacturing through cooperation with Zhuhai Yinlong New Energy.

Dong Mingzhu said in an interview that Gree has been researching and developing automobile air conditioners for many years, and now the time is ripe to enter automobile air conditioners, and Yinlong New Energy Vehicle is a good entry point. Dong Mingzhu said: "As early as three or four years ago, we studied automobile air conditioning. Now we have completely controlled the technology of automobile air conditioning. We have provided automobile air conditioning for Yinlong Automobile and opened a door for our future automobile air conditioning in Gree."

Dong Mingzhu introduced that there are technical differences between automotive air conditioners and household air conditioners, and the use environment of automotive air conditioners is more complicated, requiring smaller compressor area but higher power. In the past few years, many enterprises are exploring to enter, although it is a professional automobile air conditioner manufacturer that has done well. However, Gree is still full of confidence in future market development.

"The manufacture and design of all compressors are independent research and development, so it is very easy for us to enter the automobile air conditioner. Yinlong has brought Gree a new breakthrough in the automobile field." Dong Mingzhu said.

Previously, on December 15th last year, Dong Mingzhu and three well-known enterprises, including Beijing Yanzhao huijin international Investment Co., Ltd., Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu JD.COM Bangneng Investment Management Co., Ltd., and five units and individuals jointly increased their capital by 3 billion, and acquired 22.388% equity of Zhuhai Yinlong. Among them, it has been made public that the subsidiaries of CIMC have increased their capital by 200 million yuan to become shareholders in Yinlong, accounting for about 1.5%, but the proportion of shares invested by Dong Mingzhu and Liu Qiangdong has not been made public yet.

Focus Interview | SCO: The road is not alone, and everyone goes far

  CCTV News(Focus Interview): On July 4, the Supreme Leader of the President of China attended the 23rd meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) by video in Beijing and delivered an important speech. This is an important multilateral diplomatic action taken by China towards the Asia-Europe region this year. Facing the question of "unity or division, peace or conflict, cooperation or confrontation", the Supreme Leader gave a clear and powerful answer, drawing a blueprint for the development and expansion of the SCO, pointing out the direction for building a community with a shared future for the SCO, and injecting more certainty and positive energy into the maintenance of world peace and development.

  On the afternoon of July 4, the President of the Supreme Leader attended the 23rd meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO Member States by video in Beijing and delivered an important speech entitled "Keeping in mind the original mission, adhering to unity and cooperation, and achieving greater development". The speech stressed the need to shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted by the times, keep in mind the original mission, adhere to unity and cooperation, put forward five suggestions on the future development of the SCO, and announced a series of practical measures to build consensus for the development of the SCO, inject more certainty and stability into regional peace, development and prosperity, and inject new strong impetus into the building of a closer SCO community with a shared future.

  Deng Hao, secretary-general of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Research Center of China: "The speech of the Supreme Leader pointed out the future development direction of the SCO, and will have important guiding significance for the next development of the SCO."

  Su Xiaohui, an associate researcher at the China Institute of International Studies, said: "The pattern is a key word. When the president of the Supreme Leader gave the keynote speech, he was not talking about China’s self-interest, but about the development of the world in China’s eyes, and the overall situation of common development of mankind. The core message is that we believe that peace, development, cooperation and win-win are still the trend of the times, and this trend is irreversible."

  Since its establishment in 2001, the SCO has started from addressing the most urgent security issues of its member states, focusing on combating the "three evil forces", and gradually expanded to a two-wheel drive of security and economy. In the decade since the Supreme Leader proposed to build a community with a shared future for mankind, the SCO has been at the forefront of the times, adhering to the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, promoting the "Shanghai Spirit" of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and seeking common development, building the SCO Community with a shared future. It has achieved fruitful results in various fields such as security, economy, development, humanities, and health.

  Su Xiaohui: "The issues of concern of the SCO are constantly expanding, including the process of three-dimensional cooperation and paying attention to more comprehensive issues, which itself reflects the growth and continuous strength of the organization. It can pay attention to more issues, play more roles, and further enhance its influence."

  The agenda is expanding, the "Moments" of the SCO are also expanding, and the international influence is significantly increasing. The summit officially accepted Iran as a member state of the SCO, and approved the signing of the memorandum of obligations for Belarus to join the SCO. Since then, the number of SCO member states has increased to nine. With observer states and dialogue partners, the SCO covers more than 20 countries and has become the most populous and extensive comprehensive regional cooperation organization in the world.

  Deng Hao: "Why is the SCO’s membership expansion showing a trend of rapid development? I think the most crucial point is that the advanced nature, foresight, correctness and universality of the’Shanghai Spirit ‘under the current situation have been demonstrated, so more and more countries have realized that the’Shanghai Spirit’ provides them with a new path, new choice and new hope to solve the current global dilemma and get out of the current development dilemma."

  Ding Xiaoxing, director of the Eurasia Institute of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations: "The first characteristic is equality, everyone has one vote, everyone has veto power, and everything follows the principle of consensus, which is completely different from some organizations being manipulated by some major powers; the second characteristic is to adhere to the principle of non-alignment and not targeting other regions and organizations. It is also different from some organizations left over from the Cold War, which is to find opponents and enemies. The third characteristic is that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization promotes development through cooperation and seeks security through cooperation, so more and more countries hope to establish ties with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization."

  From focusing on a single agenda to building a community with a shared future, from six member states to covering more than 20 countries, the SCO’s influence continues to expand. In this speech, the Chairperson of the Supreme Leader summed up the SCO’s development experience from five aspects, namely "adhering to the fine tradition of watching each other and helping each other in the same boat" "practicing the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security" "upholding the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing" "inheriting the spirit of good-neighborliness and friendship" "safeguarding international fairness and justice, and opposing hegemonic and hegemonic acts".

  Su Xiaohui: "Under the background of emphasizing the common destiny, the SCO has achieved important results in terms of cooperation on security, development, humanities and other related issues, as well as coordination among countries to bridge differences, proving that promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind is the fundamental way to solve problems and the general trend of human development."

  Deng Hao: "These five articles have a positive reference role not only for the SCO, but also for the construction of a global community with a shared future for mankind."

  然而,当今世界变乱交织,百年变局加速演进,人类社会面临前所未有的挑战。团结还是分裂?和平还是冲突?合作还是对抗?再次成为了时代课题。

  越是在动荡不安的形势下,越要有对历史发展大势的清晰判断。面对时代之问,最高领袖主席坚定作答,“各国人民对美好生活的向往就是我们的追求,和平、发展、合作、共赢的时代潮流不可阻挡”。

  上合组织日益发展壮大的同时,既有难得的发展机遇,也面临前所未有的风险挑战,下一步该如何去做?最高领袖主席也给出了答案,“我们要肩负起时代赋予的重任,牢记初心使命,坚持团结协作,为维护世界和平与发展注入更多确定性和正能量”。

  丁晓星:“挑战主要集中在三方面,上海合作组织成员国越来越多,内部协调难度可能会增加;第二个挑战是国际形势动荡不安,有的国家要搞排他性小圈子;第三个挑战是如何进一步维护本地区的安全稳定。最高领袖主席在讲话中为上海合作组织下一步发展指明了方向,要牢记自己的初心使命,记住自己的责任,既然我们认同上海精神,一定要团结合作推动上海合作组织的健康发展,为这个动荡不安的世界注入更多正能量,维护世界和平稳定。”

  如何为维护世界和平与发展注入更多确定性和正能量,最高领袖主席就此为上合组织发展把脉定向、掌舵领航,提出五点重要合作建议,即“把牢正确方向,增进团结互信”“维护地区和平,保障共同安全”“聚焦务实合作,加快经济复苏”“加强交流互鉴,促进民心相通”“践行多边主义,完善全球治理”。专家表示,团结互信是上合组织发展的重要前提和基础,共同安全是各国人民的普遍期盼,也是促进上合成员国经济发展、人员往来的必要条件。同时,经济的繁荣发展、文明的交流互鉴,也有助于各成员国增进团结互信、实现共同安全,推动上合组织不断发展壮大,进而更好地维护国际公平正义。

  苏晓晖:“最高领袖主席强调正确方向,强调团结互信,确实首先是为上合组织未来的发展发挥了重要引领作用。对于当今世界解决一些复杂问题带来全新思路。如果刻意制造矛盾分裂,搞价值观、意识形态划线,甚至搞新冷战,只会带来更多的风险,这是上合既要在内部发展过程中避免的一个问题,同样也是未来上合在发挥更多国际影响力方面所针对的一个重要问题。”

  在讲话中,最高领袖主席还提出,落实全球安全倡议、落实全球发展倡议、落实全球文明倡议。

  苏晓晖:“‘三个倡议’第一次在上合平台上集中展现,体现出中国对于‘三个倡议’的综合设计是并行不悖的,是相互交织的,是互相支撑共同发展的。在上合组织此前的发展过程中,应该说已经有一些具体尝试,比如涉及到发展倡议方面,上合组织明确反对的是单边主义保护主义,反对搞小圈子脱钩断链,而是希望形成更多共同发展态势。涉及到安全倡议,安全合作是上合组织的重要议题,而在安全合作方面已经产生了很好效果。说到全球文明倡议,上合组织一直强调的是多样性文明的美美与共。”

  理念、倡议引导方向。在讲话中,最高领袖主席也提出了多个务实合作措施。今年是“一带一路”倡议提出10周年,中方将举办第三届“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛,共同把这条造福世界的幸福之路铺得更宽更远。

  Su Xiaohui: "The’Belt and Road Initiative ‘and the deepening of economic cooperation in the SCO have achieved a high degree of integration, the flow of goods can become smoother, so that there are more topics between countries on issues such as e-commerce cooperation and digital economy, so as to achieve high-quality development of the SCO."

  Deng Hao: "The Chairperson of the Supreme Leader mentioned in his proposal that we should further promote the construction of the high-quality’Belt and Road Initiative ‘in the SCO, actively promote the process of regional trade and investment facilitation and liberalization, and increase the construction of infrastructure buildings and ports.

Successfully launched more than 40 times, the number of China’s Beidou navigation satellites in orbit exceeded 50!

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 23 Question: Successfully launched more than 40 times, the number of China’s Beidou navigation satellites in orbit exceeded 50!

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Hu Zhe

  On November 23, the Long March 3B carrier rocket developed by the First Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the upper stage of Expedition 1 successfully sent two Beidou-3 satellites into the predetermined orbit in the form of "one arrow and two stars". This launch is the 107th launch of the Long March 3A series of carrier rockets and the 11th launch of the series of carrier rockets this year.

  Since the launch of the first Beidou-2 navigation test satellite in 2007, in the past 12 years, the Changsanjia series of rockets have sent 51 Beidou navigation satellites into the predetermined orbit with 37 successful launches. If the Beidou navigation test satellites launched earlier are included, the Changsanjia series of rockets have escorted 55 Beidou satellites into orbit 41 times.

  "January Double Shot": Long March Rocket Family Big "Model Worker"

  Following the launch of the Beidou-3 navigation satellite on November 5, on the morning of the 23rd, the Long March-3B rocket once again sent two Beidou-3 navigation satellites into the predetermined orbit, completing the "January double launch" at a high frequency of two launches in 18 days. Before that, the Chang Sanjia series of rockets had completed such a "feat" twice.

  The Changsanjia series of rockets has become an "exclusive train" for launching Beidou navigation satellites due to its high orbit entry accuracy, many orbit choices, and strong adaptability. According to Jin Zhiqiang, the commander of the Long March 3A series of rockets, the Changsanjia rocket has high orbit entry accuracy and can be launched with either "one arrow single star" or "one arrow multiple stars"; it can be used for both standard geosynchronous transfer orbit launches and hyper-synchronous transfer orbit or low-inclination synchronous transfer orbit launches. The rocket can achieve lateral maneuvering orbit change, multiple spin-up, racemaking, orientation, etc., during flight, to meet the different orbit entry requirements of satellites.

  As a "model worker" in the Long March rocket family, the Changsanjia series of rockets is also the only series of rockets in our country to enter the "100 launch club", maintaining a number of records: in 2015, the Changsanjia series of rockets set a high-density launch record of 7 launches in 109 days; in 2018, the Changsanjia series of rockets successfully completed 14 launches, setting a record for the number of annual launches; in April 2019, the Long March 3B Yao59 rocket sent the Beidou navigation satellite into the predetermined orbit, and the Changsanjia series of rockets became the first single series of rockets to be launched more than 100 times.

  "Efficient Unity": There is a "trick" behind Lianzhan Lianjie

  For a long time, the pace of success of the Changsanjia series of rockets has never slowed down. In the face of the situation that the high-intensity development, production and launch of models have become the norm, in order to make the management process more refined, and the experience summarized in the model work has been effectively solidified, transmitted and applied, the model has made great efforts in the construction of a refined process management system.

  Aerospace model development, as a complex system engineering, requires not only the close cooperation of all participating units, but also the full cooperation and smooth connection of each link and each personnel to ensure that each work can be completed correctly, standardized and efficiently, and ensure that the launch is foolproof.

  "Fine process management is a set of management theories and methods formed by the integration of fine management, process reengineering, knowledge management, etc. with aerospace practice. Its biggest advantage is that it provides a scientific and effective way to integrate rocket development work with all links and positions organically and efficiently," said Li Minghua, party secretary of the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

  "In order to better optimize and improve the on-site workflow, the model has put forward clear requirements in terms of process combing, data analytics, and work’double thinking ‘. Use’one net’ to filter the on-site engineering process projects, use’magnifying glass’ to find hidden problems and hidden dangers, and use’playing movies’ to do a good job of anticipation and recall," said Chen Minkang, chief designer of the Long March 3A series of rockets.

  "Gold Rocket": The other side of success is "sweat"

  With its high reliability and high success rate, the Changsanjia series of rockets enjoy the reputation of "Gold Rocket". Behind the successful launch, a dynamic and combat-capable development team silently supports the growth of this gold rocket.

  In order to meet the construction needs of the Beidou project, the development team of the Changsanjia series of rockets has carried out a lot of innovative work, breaking through dozens of key technologies such as multi-orbital plane design technology, take-off roll orientation, two-way high-altitude wind compensation, and cold helium booster system redundancy, etc. The flight reliability has been improved to the level of 0.94.

  The Long March 3B rocket carrying out this mission has been continuously improved in terms of reliability and safety: the on-arrow measurement system has added protective devices and protective means to improve the reliability of data collection; the ground equipment has been upgraded and optimized to further strengthen the safety and improve the safety of use.

  In recent years, the high-density launch of the Changsanjia series of rockets has gradually become the norm. Although the process optimization has greatly shortened the preparation time for rocket launches, the development team still spends a long time on business trips at the launch site. The average annual business trip time of the team’s key members exceeds 200 days. They often jokingly call returning to Beijing "business trips", and the launch base has become their "second home".

  Zhu Pingping, who was the commander of the conventional power of the rocket, suddenly felt unwell during a routine propellant filling process. In order not to affect the progress of the work, he endured the pain and stayed in the command post, always paying attention to the filling amount data on the display screen. After the filling was completed, he found that the filling amount was lower than the required value, and his nerves suddenly tightened. He quickly interpreted and analyzed the data, recalculated the filling amount, and accurately completed a series of crisis handling actions. Only a few drops of painful sweat that accidentally slipped from his forehead told the ordeal he was going through.

  After intense discussion, everyone agreed that the result of the injection met the needs of the mission and did not affect the follow-up work. Later, the rocket was launched on time and accurately entered orbit, but Zhu Pingping was admitted to the hospital due to acute intestinal obstruction.

  "We not only pursue the completion of the result, but also the completion of the process," said Jin Zhiqiang, the commander of the Long March 3A series of rockets. It is this persistence that supports the team to move towards higher goals.

How to manage online car-hailing abroad: UK drivers must have legal work status

  In the past few days, many provinces and cities in China have successively issued management norms for online car-hailing, and the "Beijing People, Beijing Car" and "Shanghai Car" represented by Beijing and Shanghai have aroused a lot of discussion.

  In fact, both at home and abroad, online car-hailing has been controversial since its inception. Take Uber as an example. Although it has entered many countries, it has also attracted many legal disputes. Some cities in France, Japan, Belgium and other countries do not even allow Uber and other online car-hailing software to provide taxi services in the local area. At the same time, some countries and cities recognize the legal status of online car-hailing.

  Janice Griffiths, a professor at Suffolk University Law School in the United States, said in an interview with the Beijing Times reporter that despite the opposition of traditional taxi industry practitioners, it is obviously not a wise move for government departments to ban online car-hailing services. At the same time, as many places have introduced management measures for online car-hailing, Griffiths said that the management of online car-hailing and traditional taxis may eventually be merged into one.

  By Wei Zhangning, reporter of Beijing Times

  □ London, UK

  Drivers must undergo rigorous review when applying for a license

  Dan Maiskell, the press officer of the London Transport Bureau, told the Beijing Times that in London, if a private car wants to carry passengers, the driver’s own vehicle needs to apply for a license from the Transport Bureau, and only licensed people and cars can engage in this industry.

  In addition, for drivers, applicants must be at least 21 years old, have a legal driver’s license and drive for more than three years, and must also "have the legal status to live and work in the UK"; at the same time, the Transport Bureau also requires applicants to be of good character. To prove this content, applicants need to undergo a criminal record check, and those without records can apply. In addition, applicants must also be in good health and undergo necessary medical examinations.

  Only those who meet the above conditions can apply for a license. To apply for a license, you need to register an account with the official website of the Department of Transport and then fill in a series of forms. At the same time, applicants must also pass a test on information about London’s terrain and road conditions. Only tour guides and those who have previously passed such exams or taxi driver tests are exempt from this test.

  Applicants also have to pay an application fee of about £300, including the cost of some forms and the cost of various tests. The Department of Transport also stipulates that licensed drivers must wear corresponding badges and must carry disabled people without pay.

  As of October 9, 2016, Transport for London had issued a total of 113,099 private driver licenses and 83,438 private hire vehicle licenses. Maiskell said this number continues to increase.

  In order to ensure the orderly operation of the taxi market, there are also some local practices in the management of road sections in London, such as dedicated bus lanes, where black taxis can be shared. In addition, there are also special sections for black taxis (traditional London taxis with black appearance) to stop and pick up passengers at train stations or airports. In these places, online taxis cannot be occupied. At the same time, taxis can be beckoned to stop immediately, while online taxis can only be booked in advance.

  According to Mr. Messkell, the main difference between London taxi drivers and ride-hailing drivers is their knowledge of London. Taxi drivers often pass a rigorous test, have a good understanding of the city’s terrain, can memorize the names of 25,000 streets, and are familiar with landmarks within a six-mile radius around Charing Cross Road. While ride-hailing drivers have undergone relevant tests, the requirements are not as strict as the aforementioned taxi drivers.

  New York, USA

  New rules define "transport internet company"

  In New York, private cars that want to carry passengers also need to apply for a license from the New York Department of Transportation. According to requirements, applicants for licenses must be at least 19 years old, and within 15 months from the latest violation record, the driver’s license can not deduct more than 5 points.

  At the time of application, you need to provide your driver’s license and various relevant documents to the transportation department, including driving skills certificates, etc. At the same time, you need to complete a drug test and go to the relevant department to enter your fingerprints. Applicants also need to undergo a series of training courses, including how to provide services to people with disabilities, determine whether there is human trafficking, and complete a total of 24 hours of courses. After the applicant submits the form, the transportation department will evaluate the applicant’s background, including their driving violations and whether there is any illegal behavior. At the same time, drivers must also have purchased qualified insurance and a valid registered local vehicle.

  At present, drivers in New York must have this license. At the same time, in response to the increasing popularity of online ride-hailing services in recent years, the New York Department of Transportation issued a new rule in June 2015, which defines online ride-hailing service providers as "transportation internet companies".

  According to regulations, private vehicles joining the ride-hailing platform company must complete a comprehensive safety inspection including 19 vehicle parts in accordance with regulations before providing services. After that, the platform company is obliged to ensure that the vehicle is subject to the same inspection every year and keep inspection records for review. At the same time, heavily modified vehicles are prohibited from being used in ride-hailing operations.

  Janice Griffiths, a professor at Suffolk University School of Law, told the Beijing Times that many states in the United States have now recognized the legal status of online car-hailing, and there are also relevant requirements for drivers engaged in the industry, but there is no specific requirement that drivers must be local or similar requirements.

  New Delhi, India

  The federal government can set a price ceiling

  In October 2015, the Ministry of Roads and Transport of India issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Regulation of Online Car-hailing." According to the requirements of this guidance, all vehicles of online car-hailing platforms cannot cruise to pick up customers, and will be managed by the classification of rental and cruise. At the same time, these platforms are required to have sufficient service capabilities, such as setting up 24/7 call centers and establishing driver training programs (including industry regulations, traffic safety, labor laws, service skills, etc.).

  In addition, private vehicles carrying passengers must have a license to operate in the operating area, commercial insurance including third-party liability insurance, vehicle positioning facilities, and general certification and metering facilities (the Ministry of Road and Traffic has separately formulated technical standards to ensure that different platforms and different regions can be used). At the same time, vehicles must carry a first aid kit, and emergency safety buttons should be installed where required. The positioning facility must be able to record the driver’s driving time to ensure safe driving. The platform must not force minimum online and driving hours, but the maximum working hours must not violate the law.

  According to the requirements of the opinion, drivers engaged in the online car-hailing industry in New Delhi must obtain a driving license or other qualifications stipulated by law (such as a public service license), a driver verification report issued by the public security department, and the contact information of the driver’s two family members.

  In addition, unlike in Western countries, the guidance also stipulates that the federal government or regulators can set maximum prices.

  ■ statement

  American experts: Future management system may merge into one

  With the rise of ride-hailing services around the world, the traditional taxi industry is facing great challenges. There have been cases of traditional taxi drivers boycotting online ride-hailing in some countries.

  Janice Griffiths, a professor at Suffolk University School of Law in the United States, said that online car-hailing relies on its high service efficiency and relatively low prices to win people’s favor, while traditional taxi drivers’ dissatisfaction with online car-hailing is overwhelmingly due to the belief that online car-hailing is subject to fewer constraints, unlike the traditional taxi industry, which is subject to various strict restrictions from vehicles, drivers, companies, and other aspects. At the same time, taxi drivers also need to pay a considerable amount of fees.

  Today, most people already feel the convenience of online car-hailing services, so it is not a wise choice for government departments to ban online car-hailing services. Even if the traditional taxi industry benefits in the short term, in the long run, the government department will still face pressure from the public for banning online car-hailing services.

  At present, many places are gradually improving the management of online car-hailing. In most cases, government departments separate online car-hailing from traditional taxis and use two separate methods for management. However, Griffith believes that it is impossible to say what the future of online car-hailing will be. Perhaps as the management methods become more detailed, the two different management systems may eventually be merged into one.

The pillar of the Tiggo 8 family? The new 8 PRO went on sale on May 18th.

A few days ago, according to Chery Automobile official website, the new Tiggo 8 PRO will be officially launched on May 18th. As the star car of Chery brand, Tiggo 8 has launched classic models such as Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 PLUS. This time, the new 8 PRO is very different from the first two cars in appearance. The new car focuses on the young user market and is fashionable and sporty. As for the new Tiggo 8 PRO, what highlights will it bring us? Let’s go and have a look with the car brother.

From the appearance alone, we can see that Tiggo 8 PRO has nothing to do with Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 8 PLUS. The new car uses the brand-new design language of the family. The front face is designed with borderless lattice air intake grille, and the top is equipped with silver decorative strips to connect Chery logo and sharp and narrow LED headlights on both sides. Compared with the other two models in the same series, the simple design of the new car looks more exquisite and fashionable.

On the side, the waistline of the new car continues to the tail, plus the design of the suspended model, the wrapping of the side skirts of the side windows, and the large-size multi-frame wheels. You should know that the length, width and height of the new car are 4745/1860/1745mm and the wheelbase is 2710mm, so the body size will be more advantageous. The tail design of the Tiggo 8 PRO is rounder and fuller, the penetrating taillights echo the front face, and the rear enclosure is also equipped with exaggerated spoiler and bilateral double exhaust layout. The integration of these elements enhances the recognition of the whole vehicle and adds a lot of sports atmosphere to the new car.

As for the interior, as the latest product of the car series, the new car is equipped with a 24.6-inch surround screen, plus a three-piece multi-function, through-type air conditioning outlet, two-color layout, etc., and the whole car adopts a minimalist design with both economy and practicality. In terms of power, the Tiggo 8 PRO will launch 1.6T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, and the transmission part will match the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The maximum power and torque of the 1.6T engine are 145kW and 290N·m respectively. The maximum power of 2.0T engine is 187kW and 390 N m.. It is worth mentioning that in the future, Tiggo 8 PRO will also launch a model of Kunpeng DHT hybrid system.

Summary:

I have to say that as a new member of the family, Tiggo 8 PRO has improved its appearance and interior power in all aspects. Can it become the new pillar of this series? Look forward to it together. After the new car goes on the market, it will be benchmarked against Changan CS75 PLUS in the automobile market at the same level, while the pre-sale of the previously exposed new car will be 131,800-169,900, and the price is slightly higher than that of the benchmarked model. I wonder what you think of the car’s cost performance? Which model do you prefer to choose among the Tiggo 8 cars? Leave a message in the comment area and tell your brother who is playing with cars.
