　　(Reporter Zhao Liuying text/map) With the rise and development of the webcast platform, the events of "Xiong Haizi" spending huge sums of money to reward anchors frequently occur, and the amount of rewards ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

　　Ms. Chen, a citizen engaged in the clothing business, has recently encountered such "troubles". Since September last year, Han Han, an 11-year-old daughter, has frequently recharged and rewarded the live broadcast platform in the United States, spending a total of more than 70,000 yuan.

　　Primary school girls reward network anchors for more than 70 thousand yuan

　　"I didn’t expect that she would spend so much money on the live broadcast platform, which I don’t understand." Ms. Chen said that her daughter is usually very sensible and studies well, and she is also the monitor of the class.

　　Since last year, Ms. Chen has found that her daughter always plays mobile phones and has been educated several times, but she has not taken it to heart. "Now children like to play mobile phones, and they think that their daughters are also very obedient at ordinary times. They have not done anything out of the ordinary, so it is no harm to play during the holidays."

　　However, just during the holiday, the webcast platform "took advantage of it". Han Han registered a Meipai account with his own QQ number, without real-name authentication, and registered with his own mobile phone number and authenticated his identity.

　　The reporter inquired about the reward record of Han Han in the beauty auction. The account bound by QQ number was rewarded with a total of 14,806 yuan, and the account bound by mobile phone number was rewarded with a total of 61,988 yuan. Reward records are mostly concentrated in the evening, especially during holidays.

　　"The amount of rewards on weekdays is relatively small, mostly 30 to 50 yuan. The large amount of rewards is mainly concentrated in holidays. In October last year alone, more than a dozen 1888 yuan were rewarded, including three 1888 yuan on October 8, and the reward amount in October was nearly 30,000 yuan." Ms. Chen said that in addition, in February and May this year, there were also a large number of rewards.

　　"When I usually use WeChat to pay, my daughter is beside me, and I didn’t deliberately avoid it. It is estimated that my daughter secretly wrote down the payment password." Ms. Chen said that in addition to the usual pocket money, there is no large amount of cash in her daughter’s WeChat account, and the money for rewarding the anchor is that her daughter steals her mobile phone and makes red packets and transfers on WeChat.

　　Ms. Chen said that when doing business, many customers will put money into their WeChat accounts, and they will also use it on weekdays. In addition, her daughter has deleted the record of red envelopes and transfers, so for a long time, Ms. Chen did not find it. At present, Ms. Chen hopes that Mei Pai can refund her daughter’s reward.

　　Live broadcast platform: only when the user is a minor can the money be refunded.

　　So, what is the response of the US film to this matter? The reporter contacted Xiamen Meitu Net Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Meipai, for the first time.

　　"At present, this matter is under investigation. First, we have to confirm whether the user is really a minor, and then we can refund the reward." Zhang Kai, the marketing department of Meitu, said that it takes evidence to confirm the identity of minors and time to communicate with users. As long as the evidence is perfect, you can get a refund.

　　It is reported that one of Hanhan’s Meipai accounts has been authenticated, and the ID number entered can confirm his minor status; Most of the other accounts use WeChat payment for rewards, and WeChat payment has been authenticated by real name. Can it be confirmed that Han Han is a minor?

　　Zhang Wei said that WeChat’s real-name authentication, they can’t see the background data, but also need to check the user’s usual records and live content on the platform to confirm whether the US pat account and the payment account are the same person and both are minors.

　　Prove that "rewarding people" is a difficult problem for minors to protect their rights.

　　It is understood that to enter the live broadcast platform of the United States, you only need to enter the mobile phone number, or bind the micro signal and QQ number to enter, and you don’t need real-name authentication, so minors are not restricted to register. Then, how to manage the platform for blind consumption of minors?

　　Zhang Kai said that when giving a gift to the anchor for consumption, he will jump to a recharge page. At the top of the page, he will be prompted whether it is a guardian companion mode. Once this mode is selected, he will not be able to provide a recharge service.

　　However, although the platform has set this restriction, it is not a rigid requirement. For many minors, the guardian companionship mode will not be actively turned on, and the behavior of recharging and rewarding can still be carried out.

　　With the popularity of live broadcast platforms, it frequently happens that minors spend huge sums of money to reward anchors all over the country. Faced with this problem, almost all live broadcast platforms will require proof that users are minors when rewarding anchors. However, how to prove it? This has also become a major problem for parents of minors to defend their rights and recover rewards.

　　Lawyer: Civil acts beyond the capacity of minors are invalid.

　　In recent years, with the rapid development of webcasting platform, the problem of lack of supervision has been frequently exposed, which is not only the hardest hit area for the spread of obscene articles, but also the lack of defense lines for minors, which leads to the addiction of minors to live broadcasting platform, and frequent incidents of rewarding anchors with huge sums of money.

　　"Minors have poor self-control ability, and many behaviors need to be under the supervision of parents. Even if they voluntarily reward the anchor, this behavior of minors is invalid." Mr. Chu, a lawyer in Zhengzhou, said that according to Chinese laws, a minor over 10 years old but under 18 years old is a person with limited capacity for civil conduct, and can engage in civil activities appropriate to his age and intelligence. Other civil activities are represented by his legal representative or with the consent of his legal representative. If the capacity is exceeded, the civil act is invalid unless the parents ratify it.

　　Indeed, minors are unable to dispose of large amounts of property. On the one hand, parents should take good care of their children, on the other hand, the webcast platform should be gradually improved. "The next step for the regulatory authorities should focus on whether some network anchors have induced users, especially minors." Mr. Chu said that the webcast platform should gradually improve the risk warning and fulfill the obligation of auditing and verifying identity.

　　In addition, some insiders believe that with the popularity of mobile Internet, payment methods have become faster. Parents should also strengthen safety precautions for their children to play mobile phones and guide their children to develop healthy and positive Internet usage habits.

　　Core reading

　　Go on road trip is a popular choice for tourism, however, because its destination is often remote, it adds risks to the journey. Therefore, in the process of go on road trip, tourists should always put safety first, listen to the safety advice of professionals, make full preparations before leaving, and prepare emergency tools.

　　In addition, relevant departments should also create a safe self-driving environment and build an emergency response mechanism. With the concerted efforts of many parties, go on road trip tourists can enjoy their travel and ensure their own safety.

　　Hold the steering wheel and go all the way forward. The scenery on both sides is constantly retrogressing, with steep and magnificent mountains and clear water flowing gently … … With the arrival of summer vacation, go on road trip is heating up all over the country, reflecting tourists’ expectation of independent tourism, personalized tourism and in-depth tourism.

　　However, some areas visited by tourists in go on road trip are sparsely populated and lack of supporting public facilities, so there are many potential safety hazards that cannot be ignored.

　　Go on road trip got talent

　　Be fully prepared and travel cautiously.

　　Chang Junwei is a well-known talent in go on road trip, Xinjiang. He has been driving for more than ten years and can drive nearly 30,000 kilometers every year. Because of his rich experience, he also took the lead in setting up a go on road trip motorcade.

　　Recalling what happened not long ago, Chang Junwei still has a lingering fear. At the beginning of the summer vacation, he set off with his motorcade as soon as the Duku Highway, which had been closed for seven months, was opened to traffic.

　　Duku Highway is the signboard of self-driving tourist routes in Xinjiang. However, 1/3 of this highway is a cliff, and 1/5 of it is in the alpine permafrost, which needs to cross nearly 10 major rivers in Tianshan Mountain. At the same time, it also has the only snow-proof corridor in the world and the highest altitude highway tunnel in Hashel.

　　"This Tianshan road is full of scenery along the way, but it is not easy to walk." That day, although he repeatedly reminded his teammates to drive carefully, he still had an accident. Just out of Gendaban Highway Tunnel in Hashel, the driver of No.5 car in the motorcade was not careful, and the car fell into a snow ditch.

　　Fortunately, the driver who followed quickly responded quickly, stopped the car in time, turned on the double flash, set up the triangle warning sign, and contacted the leader Chang Junwei and the first car through the walkie-talkie. Two people wearing bright-colored clothes near the warning sign remind the vehicles behind to avoid the road.

　　The car got stuck in the snow ditch and the wheels slipped, so it couldn’t be poured out. Gendaban, Hashel, is the highest point in the northern section of Duku Highway, with sharp bends and steep slopes. If vehicles get stuck here, it will be very difficult to rescue and the consequences will be unimaginable.

　　"Fortunately, I am experienced in driving and well prepared." Chang Junwei, the team leader, took out the tow rope from the first car and began to command everyone to tow the car. After 20 minutes, the vehicle finally escaped from danger and the team was on the road again.

　　"When traveling in mountainous areas, the road conditions are complex and the slope is steep and steep, so be sure to prepare a tow rope." Chang Junyi said that when the vehicle climbs a steep slope or breaks down, the tow rope can be used as a rescue tool to get the vehicle out of danger in time and ensure that life and property are not lost. In addition, emergency tools such as flashlights, medicines and survival whistle should be prepared in the toolbox, as well as fire extinguishers, rain gear and compasses. "Be well prepared and travel carefully. Don’t panic at critical moments, and always ensure safety first. " He said.

　　Go on road trip Association

　　Grasp the road conditions and do what you can.

　　"go on road trip, you can’t just leave. You should be prepared before you leave." Li Jianhua, president of go on road trip Association of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, said that there are many preparations before departure, the first one is vehicle inspection, and emergency rescue tools are also prepared. "You can’t have any luck, because a little problem can also lead to great disaster."

　　"Of course, pre-departure preparation also includes a grasp of road conditions." Li Jianhua recalled the winter before, when he took his motorcade all the way across the Tianshan Mountains along the highway. Halfway up the mountain, the association received a message for help: "A car was stuck because of snow on the road."

　　Li Jianhua continued to stop by. When they arrived, they saw a family of three trying to push the cart, but the car did not move. In the ice and snow, the hands of the whole family were frozen stiff. Fortunately, Li Jianhua and others arrived in time, and a group of people, Qi Xin, took the car back to Urumqi.

　　"go on road trip tourists must first understand the road conditions and weather information. Secondly, we should be sure of the actual performance of the car. At the same time, we should pay attention to the fact that many cars go hand in hand. " Li Jianhua said.

　　"After departure, try to drive on regular roads, and don’t explore at will." Li Jianhua said that this summer, several cars in the Gobi Desert in Karamay were stuck in soft sand because they wanted to take a different road out of curiosity. When the rescue vehicle arrived, several drivers had obviously suffered from heatstroke. "go on road trip tourists try to drive on regular routes without a professional team leader."

　　Li Jianhua suggested that if you want to drive to no man’s land, tourists should pay attention to the choice of vehicles and professional tour leaders. For the sake of safety, tourists should choose hard-core off-road vehicles with locks that are less than 5 years old, have no hidden diseases. The professional team leader must at least meet the following requirements: at least 5 years of outdoor driving experience; Hold a formal team leader certificate; Understand and master a variety of outdoor skills.

　　relevant department

　　Take multiple measures to ensure safety.

　　"Bozhou Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow warning for lightning: It is expected that there will be thunderstorms in most parts of Bozhou this afternoon to night. Please take precautions." On July 31st, Chen Xin, a Shanghai tourist who was in go on road trip, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, received such a message. Chen Xin told reporters that the day was the seventh day of go on road trip. After walking through three prefectures in Xinjiang, she received many such short messages on her mobile phone: "This kind of early warning is beneficial for us to plan the self-driving route and improve the safety."

　　Li Wei, chief planner of the Tourism Development Committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, said that the Tourism Development Committee of the Autonomous Region has strengthened cooperation with meteorological, transportation and land departments to provide a safer tourism environment for go on road trip tourists.

　　Strengthen meteorological early warning. "The weather in mountainous areas of Xinjiang is changeable, so tourists in go on road trip must be reminded to take precautions." Li Wei said that there are two ways to issue weather warnings to tourists. First, the local meteorological department directly pushes text messages to all tourists entering the jurisdiction. Second, the meteorological department will send it to the Tourism Commission, and then the Tourism Commission will push it to various scenic spots, travel agencies and highway departments.

　　Add tourist signs. "The car is driving on a highway or a national highway, and the intersections and signs are clear at a glance." This is the second time that Li Zhiyun, a tourist from go on road trip, Guangdong Province, came to Xinjiang. He said that compared with what he saw four years ago, there have been great changes.

　　Improve the emergency rescue mechanism. According to Li Wei, on July 11th, the HKTB held a warning meeting on safety production and emergency support for the tourism industry in Xinjiang, started the emergency mechanism for safety production in summer tourist season, and set up an emergency leading group for safety production in summer. At the meeting, it was pointed out that it is necessary to carry out targeted tourism emergency plan drills and make emergency preparations for rescue teams, equipment and materials; At the same time, strengthen the duty on duty, and immediately start the emergency mechanism in the event of an emergency.

　　A few days ago, the Action Plan for the Integrated Development of Transportation and Tourism in Xinjiang, jointly compiled by the Department of Transportation of the Autonomous Region and the Tourism Commission, is under consideration, and its purpose is also to strengthen the supply of self-driving tourism services in Xinjiang. In the plan, the route of go on road trip, Xinjiang, sign guidance, safety guarantee and emergency rescue, public information and so on will be planned in more detail to ensure the safety of tourists coming to go on road trip, Xinjiang.

On August 31st, 1991, the State Council held a national working conference on cleaning up "triangular debts". The main contents are as follows: 1. "Triangle debt" has become a serious obstacle to the normal operation of the national economy, and it is imperative to fundamentally solve the problem of "triangle debt". The State Council decided to clean up the "triangle debt" as a breakthrough to enliven large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises and control the economic order. The main leaders of local governments should personally ask about the cleanup work and put it on the agenda; Overcome wrong ideas, seize the time and do it well in three years. Second, the meeting stipulated the guiding ideology, main tasks, main practices and key targets of this work, and stipulated the time limit for the occurrence of this "triangular debt" included in the clean-up, as of June 30, 1991. Third, the meeting exchanged the experience of the pilot project of clearing debts in Northeast China and the measures to prevent debts. Combined with the actual situation of various regions and departments, the meeting formulated more specific and feasible scheme measures for clearing debts and preventing debts, and put forward specific requirements for the next step of clearing debts.

On August 17th, 1992, the Office of the Leading Group for Clearing Triangular Debts in the State Council introduced that China had made great progress in clearing triangular debts.

By the end of July, except for a few projects that did not meet the loan conditions and the national industrial policy, the arrears of national capital construction and technological transformation before the end of 1991 had been basically cleared up, one year ahead of schedule. In the past two years, the state has injected 51 billion yuan to clean up triangular debts. And take the scientific method of cleaning up the fixed assets from the source of default for five consecutive years, and untie the debt chain of enterprises by more than 200 billion yuan, which has achieved good results by investing funds in 1 yuan to clear 4 yuan’s arrears. This progress has eased the debt chain burden for large and medium-sized enterprises, thus creating favorable conditions for the rational growth of the national economy.

However, there are still some provinces and cities with projects with funding gaps, resulting in new arrears; There are also some enterprises that do not look at the market and blindly produce, resulting in a backlog of products. The State Council asked all regions and departments not to leave a gap in funds for new projects to prevent new arrears, and reiterated that the state would no longer organize the liquidation of arrears that occurred after 1992.

　　China news agency, Beijing, July 10 (Reporter Liu Liang) The market supervision department of China issued new regulations to further strengthen the safety of "rations" for infants and young children. The new regulations stipulate that the labels and instructions of infant formula milk powder products shall not contain vague information such as imported milk source, imported raw materials, original ecological milk source and pollution-free milk source.

　　On the 10th, the State Administration of Market Supervision of China held a special press conference on the policy interpretation of the Measures for the Administration of Formula Registration of Infant Formula Milk Powder Products (hereinafter referred to as the Measures). Zhou Shiping, director of the Department of Special Food Safety Supervision and Management of the State Administration of Markets, introduced at the meeting that the Measures are a new revision of the version published in 2016.

　　Zhou Shiping introduced that since the implementation of the Measures on October 1, 2016, the annual sampling pass rate of infant formula milk powder has exceeded 99%, the product quality has been significantly improved, and the milk powder industry has developed in a standardized manner; The market share of domestic brands is increasing year by year. In 2020, the sales of domestic brands of infant formula will account for about 60%, and consumer confidence will be significantly boosted. However, there are also some problems that need to be solved urgently. The "Measures" aim to continuously improve the quality of infant formula milk powder by strengthening registration management.

　　It is understood that the "Measures" further standardize labeling and safeguard consumers’ rights and interests, and clarify that if there are words of animal origin in the product name, the milk protein sources such as raw milk, milk powder and whey powder should all come from this species; It is forbidden to mark false, exaggerated, contrary to scientific principles or absolute content.

　　The Measures also emphasize that the labels and instructions of infant formula milk powder products shall not contain vague information such as imported milk source, ecological pasture from abroad, imported raw materials, original ecological milk source and pollution-free milk source. Images of babies and women, "human emulsification", "breast feeding" or similar terms shall not be used.

　　Li Liangqiu, executive vice president of China Nutrition and Health Food Association, believes that the "Measures" are of positive significance to the development of the industry. The revision of the "Measures" combined with the industry concerns in the implementation process, further clarified and standardized the relevant requirements, which was helpful for enterprises to invest in R&D and innovation, assume the main responsibility, and update more abundant products.

　　It is reported that the "Measures" will be implemented on October 1 this year, and the "Measures for the Administration of Formula Registration of Infant Formula Milk Powder Products" originally published in 2016 will be abolished at the same time. (End)

　　Beijing, January 4 (Reporter Li Jinlei) Recently, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments have successively held annual work meetings to deploy key tasks in 2019, and Huimin has become one of the key words.

　　Implement larger-scale tax reduction and fee reduction, implement the policy of reducing social security rate, solve the housing problem of new citizens, reduce highway charges, and continue to carry out network speed-up and fee reduction … … In 2019, these policies will enrich your wallet.

　　Implement a larger tax reduction and fee reduction.

　　The National Financial Work Conference made it clear that the proactive fiscal policy in 2019 should be strengthened to improve efficiency and implement a larger scale of tax reduction and fee reduction.

　　How to reduce taxes and fees? Liu Kun, Minister of Finance, said that the combination of inclusive tax cuts and structural tax cuts will focus on reducing the tax burden of manufacturing and small and micro enterprises and supporting the development of the real economy. Implement inclusive tax relief for small and micro enterprises and technology start-ups. Fully implement the revised individual income tax law, implement six special additional deduction policies, and reduce the tax burden of residents.

　　In 2018, China implemented a large-scale tax reduction and fee reduction, including the reduction of the value-added tax rate, and the annual tax reduction and fee reduction scale is expected to exceed 1.3 trillion yuan.

　　For ordinary residents, in 2019, they will receive a red envelope for tax reduction, and expenses such as children’s education, continuing education, serious illness medical care, housing loan interest or housing rent, and support for the elderly can be deducted before tax, and the tax paid by the people will be further reduced. The monthly income of 10,000 yuan may be zero, and the income will increase.

　　Implement the policy of reducing social security rates.

　　The National Conference on Human Resources and Social Security proposed that in 2019, we should actively and steadily promote the reform of the old-age insurance system, implement the policy of reducing social insurance rates, and promote the sustainable development of the social security system.

　　At present, the social security rate is decreasing in stages. From May 1, 2018, the period of phased rate reduction for pension insurance, unemployment insurance and work-related injury insurance was extended to April 30, 2019.

　　In 2019, the social security fee reduction is expected to usher in the fifth reduction. Since 2015, China has successively reduced or phased down the social insurance premium rate for four times, and the overall social insurance premium rate has been reduced from 41% to 37.25%, which has reduced the cost of enterprises by about 315 billion yuan.

　　The pension insurance rate may continue to be one of the breakthroughs. As early as the press conference of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in the third quarter of 2018, Lu Aihong, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said that he would implement the request of the the State Council executive meeting to study and put forward specific measures to continue to reduce the social security rate, and work with relevant departments to study and formulate specific plans to reduce the old-age insurance rate.

　　Stabilize housing prices and support new citizens to rent houses and buy houses.

　　The National Conference on Housing and Urban-Rural Construction put forward that in 2019, the goal is to stabilize land prices and house prices, and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market. Adhere to the position that the house is for living, not for speculation. Support reasonable self-occupation demand and resolutely curb speculative real estate speculation.

　　In addition, to solve the housing problem of new citizens as the main starting point, fill in the shortcomings of rental housing. Guide large and medium-sized cities to comprehensively cultivate and develop the housing rental market. Increase support for low-and middle-income families and new citizens in cities and towns to rent houses and buy houses.

　　In 2018, under the requirements of the central government to "resolutely curb the rise in housing prices", the real estate regulation and control policies continued to increase, the number of regulation and control set a new historical record, and the property market cooled down.

　　Zhang Bo, chief analyst of 58 Anjuke Real Estate Research Institute, believes that 2018 is the year of regulation, and the most anticipated year in 2019 is the year of stability. In this context, the cooling of first-tier cities, especially the downward space for housing prices, will become limited, and second-and third-tier cities will show more obvious regional differences. Cities that rise rapidly in 2018 will usher in cooling.

　　Reduce highway charges, etc.

　　In 2019, the National Transportation Work Conference proposed that it is necessary to promote institutional cost reduction and efficiency improvement, focus on controlling arbitrary charges and fines, and reduce fees for highways, airports, ports and railways.

　　Specifically, it is necessary to deepen the reform of the toll road system, continue to implement the requirements of reducing the cost of crossing the bridge, comprehensively promote the differentiated toll of expressways, and solidly promote the pilot provinces and cities to cancel the toll stations at the provincial boundaries of expressways.

　　Recently, Jiangsu, Shandong, Chongqing and Sichuan, as the first batch of pilot provinces, took the lead in canceling 15 provincial toll stations on expressways, marking a solid first step in promoting the reform of canceling provincial toll stations on expressways.

　　After the provincial toll station of expressway is cancelled, the original toll collection facilities on the main line surface will be gradually dismantled, and vehicles can pass directly at the provincial boundary without stopping, and there is no need to stop and hand in the card and get the card, which will greatly reduce the transit time and significantly improve the traffic efficiency.

　　Continue to carry out network speed-up and fee reduction

　　The National Conference on Industry and Informatization made it clear that in 2019, we will continue to speed up and reduce fees on the Internet, launch the action of "double G and double lifting, same speed on the same network" in broadband networks, accelerate the promotion of fixed broadband gigabit applications, and do a good job in accurately reducing fees for poor households and small and medium-sized enterprises who set up files, promote the substantial reduction of roaming fees between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, and strictly investigate tariff marketing violations.

　　The 2018 government work report proposes to cancel the "roaming" fee for traffic, and the mobile network traffic tariff will be reduced by at least 30% during the year. Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the target task of speeding up and reducing network fees proposed in the government work report has been overfulfilled ahead of schedule.

　　At present, the number of Internet users in China has exceeded 802 million, and the number of mobile Internet users has exceeded 1.26 billion, and the traffic demand has exploded. In November 2018, the average mobile Internet access traffic reached 5.79GB, a year-on-year increase of 142.3%.

　　In 2019, Internet speed-up and fee reduction will continue, and China netizens will surf the Internet more smoothly, which is expected to enjoy a new wave of real money speed-up and fee reduction bonus. (End)

　　BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) According to the website of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it was approved that in the first half of 2016, floods, wind and hail and geological disasters were the main natural disasters in China, and earthquakes, low-temperature freezing, droughts, snowstorms and forest fires also occurred to varying degrees. All kinds of natural disasters caused a total of 68.775 million people to be affected, 505 people died and 71 people were missing. The affected area of crops was 73.211 thousand hectares, and the direct economic loss was 89.04 billion yuan.

　　Recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Office of the National Disaster Reduction Committee, together with the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Health and Family Planning Commission, the Bureau of Statistics, the Forestry Bureau, the Seismological Bureau, the Meteorological Bureau, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the Oceanic Administration, the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, the China Red Cross Society, China Railway Corporation and other departments, discussed and analyzed the national natural disasters in the first half of 2016.

　　It is approved that in the first half of 2016, floods, wind and hail and geological disasters were the main natural disasters in China, and earthquakes, low-temperature freezing, droughts, snowstorms and forest fires also occurred to varying degrees. All kinds of natural disasters have caused a total of 68.775 million people to be affected, 505 people were killed, 71 people were missing, 1.643 million people were transferred and resettled urgently, and 1.199 million people needed emergency life assistance; 104,000 houses collapsed and 1.112 million houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 7321.1 thousand hectares, of which 784.1 thousand hectares will not be harvested; The direct economic loss was 89.04 billion yuan.

　　In the first half of 2016, natural disasters in the country mainly showed the following characteristics: First, the spatial and temporal distribution of disasters in the country was uneven. More than 1,800 counties (cities, districts) in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) are affected by natural disasters to varying degrees. Compared with the same period since 2011, the number of dead and missing people is slightly higher, and the rest of the disaster indicators are lighter by more than 20%. In terms of disaster types, earthquake disasters and drought disasters are obviously lighter than normal, low-temperature freezing and snow disasters are the same as normal, floods and geological disasters are slightly heavier, and wind and hail disasters are obviously heavier; From the time point of view, from January to May, the national disaster situation was obviously light. In June, floods, wind and hail and geological disasters occurred suddenly and repeatedly, and the time period was relatively concentrated, and the disaster situation developed extremely rapidly. Regionally, compared with the same period in recent years, the disaster situation in Southwest and Northwest China is obviously lighter, but the disaster situation in East China is relatively heavy. The main disaster indicators are the second highest since 2011, and the number of people missing due to disasters exceeds the average of recent years by more than 2 times.

　　Second, there are frequent storms and floods in the south, and the pattern of disasters is obvious. Since the flood season began on March 21st, the national average precipitation has been more than 20% higher than normal, which is the highest in the same period of history since 1961. There have been more than 20 regional rainstorm processes in the southern region, which is the highest in the same period of history. There have been more than 20 floods in major rivers, and the total flood volume has been more than 30%. Affected by this, many major floods and geological disasters have occurred in many places in the south. In May, the mudslide in Taining, Fujian Province caused 36 deaths and disappearances. In the first half of June, the Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou regions and Anhui and Hubei provinces suffered major floods one after another, which seriously affected the economic and social development of the disaster areas and the safety of people’s lives and property.

　　In the first half of the year, floods (including geological disasters) caused 34.028 million people in more than 1,000 counties (cities and districts) in 26 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) to be affected, 367 people died and disappeared due to disasters, and 1.419 million people were resettled urgently; 68,000 houses collapsed and 469,000 houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 2,636.6 thousand hectares, of which 329 thousand hectares will not be harvested; The direct economic loss was 45.51 billion yuan. Generally speaking, the floods and geological disasters in the first half of the year were basically the same as those in the same period of recent years, showing a pattern of "emphasizing the south but neglecting the north". The main disaster indicators in 13 southern provinces such as Hunan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui and Fujian accounted for more than 70% of the country, and the number of people missing due to disasters accounted for more than 90%.

　　Third, there are many strong convective weather and the wind and hail disasters are prominent. Since the flood season, there have been 26 large-scale severe convective weather processes in China, which have affected more than 1,100 counties (cities, districts) in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government), ranking the second highest in the same period since 2011. Extreme weather events are obviously more frequent. The number of days of gale stations with magnitude 10 or above exceeds the sum of the past four years, and the number of heavy hail (with a diameter of more than 20 mm) is the highest in the same period since 2011.

　　In the first half of the year, the wind and hail disaster caused 17.822 million people to be affected, 191 people died and disappeared due to the disaster, and 75,000 people were urgently transferred and resettled; 35,000 houses collapsed and 486,000 houses were damaged to varying degrees; The affected area of crops is 2,142.2 thousand hectares, of which 246.7 thousand hectares will not be harvested; The direct economic loss was 21.4 billion yuan.

　　Generally speaking, the situation of wind and hail disasters is obviously biased, and the number of people who died and disappeared due to disasters and the direct economic losses are the highest since 2011. Among them, the disasters in Jiangsu, Shanxi, Xinjiang and Corps are the most prominent. On June 23, the tornado and hail disaster in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province killed 99 people. In the first half of June, the wind and hail disaster in Shanxi caused 140 thousand people to need emergency life assistance; In late June, the wind and hail disaster in Xinjiang and Corps caused about 100,000 hectares of crops to be affected (including 30,000 hectares), resulting in serious economic losses.

　　Fourth, the level of seismic activity is weak and the loss is obviously light. There were 9 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in Chinese mainland, including 2 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above, the number of which was the least in the same period since 2011. The highest magnitude was the linkou county earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 on January 2, and the Menyuan earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 on January 21, Qinghai. The provinces where earthquakes with a magnitude of 5 or above occurred involved five provinces (autonomous regions) including Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Xizang, Qinghai and Xinjiang, and Xizang had the most occurrences (four times). Among them, the earthquake with M = 6.4 in Menyuan County, Qinghai Province on January 21st and the earthquake with M = 5.5 in Dingqing County, Xizang Province on May 11th caused the heaviest losses, which totally damaged 89,000 houses in Gansu, Qinghai and Xizang provinces (autonomous regions) to varying degrees, resulting in direct economic losses of 2.63 billion yuan. Overall, the earthquake disaster in the first half of the year was obviously lighter than that in the same period of recent years, and the main disaster indicators were the lowest values in the same period since 2011, and were less than the average value in 2011-2015 by more than 70%.

　　Fifth, the impact of drought is limited, and low-temperature freezing and snow disasters affect the south. Some areas in Inner Mongolia, North China, Huanghuai and Northwest China have suffered from droughts in spring and summer. Due to the timely rainfall in the later period, the losses caused by drought are obviously lighter than those in the same period of recent years, and the area affected by crops and crops are only about 10% of the average in the same period since 2011. China has suffered many large-scale cold waves, freezing rain, snow and freezing weather processes. Among them, the large-scale low-temperature freezing and snow disaster in the country was the most prominent in late January, with the maximum cooling range of 12℃-18℃. The southern cities such as Guangzhou and Nanning experienced snowfall for the first time in many years. In mid-May, most of the northwest was affected by the continuous strong cold air, and the sudden cooling caused the loss of crops such as corn and wheat to be prominent. In the first half of the year, 13.524 million people were affected by low-temperature freezing and snowstorm, and the affected area of crops was 17.119 thousand hectares, of which 1.577 thousand hectares were rejected and the direct economic loss was 16.71 billion yuan. Generally speaking, the disasters of low temperature freezing and snowstorm are close to the same period in recent years.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:In recent years, the People’s Navy has had hundreds of sub-ships and more than 100 sorties of aircraft for offshore training on the island chain. Further test the offshore combat plan and tactics training method of the main warships, and enhance the joint combat capability of the troops in the offshore.

　　　　　　 At the beginning of this year, a long-distance training formation consisting of naval ships Hefei, Yuncheng, Changbai Mountain and Honghu conducted long-distance joint training in the South China Sea, the Western Pacific Ocean and the Central Pacific Ocean for 34 days with a track of 10,000 nautical miles.

　　　　　　 Yin Zhuo, a military expert: "Because the waters we cover are getting wider and wider, it should be said that our generation of captains are very familiar with the waters we will fight in the future, and we are gradually expanding our training waters, which will cover all our future possible combat waters."

　　　　　　 Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction and development of the navy has entered a golden age. In 2018 alone, the navy organized more than ten batches of dozens of sub-ships and dozens of aircraft to go out to the island chain for offshore training. On April 20, 2018, a sea area in the western Pacific surged, and a J -15 carrier-based fighter jet rushed out of the bow of the Liaoning ship and flew into the blue sky. On the vast ocean, an aircraft carrier formation consisting of a Liaoning ship and several escort ships launched a "back-to-back" comprehensive offensive and defensive confrontation exercise with the blue missile destroyers Jinan and Changchun.

　　　　　　 Hujie, the captain of the Navy Changchun Ship, said: "I participated in this offshore combat training with the formation of the aircraft carrier, providing air defense tasks for the aircraft carrier, and also undertaking the tasks of anti-submarine and anti-ship operations. Our current actual combat training should be said to have shifted from offshore defense to offshore defense, and the biggest change is that the region has changed, the strength has also changed, the training content has also changed, and the training methods have also changed. "

　　　　　　 Lu Qiangqiang, deputy captain of the Liaoning Navy, said: "In the past few years, we have achieved many firsts, including taking off and landing at night, including the long voyage out of the island chain, including the actual use of weapons. At present, I think there should be a big breakthrough in the training of carrier-based aircraft, formation cooperation training and so on. I believe that in the near future, we can see that a relatively mature aircraft carrier formation can complete various tasks entrusted by superiors. "

　　　　　　 At the end of 2017, the navy organized live-fire confrontation exercises in the relevant sea and airspace of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. The participating forces were mainly navies in various theaters, including some forces of the Air Force, covering various combat platforms of aviation, submarines, surface ships and coastal defense forces.

　　　　　　 Ai Peng, captain of the Navy Huangshan Ship: "Winning or losing is not a key point we should consider now. The real key point is what our actual combat capability can achieve, which is the most concerned by each of our commanders. So how do we improve, that is, think through each exercise. How do we solidify or upgrade this ability? This is to be improved in the subsequent specialization and refinement. "

"I am a veteran, and I must go at this time!" Facing the turbulent flood, Wu Keyu, a cadre of retired military affairs bureau in Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, who has been in length of military service for 16 years, wiped the mud on his face and said firmly in a hoarse voice.

If the disaster is like an order, the mission will be achieved. The county veterans affairs bureau quickly organized forces to go to the front line. In the village where the road was washed away, the rescue team composed of retired soldiers waded through the water with only one safety rope, and walked back and forth for more than 20 kilometers for 12 hours in a row, transferring 37 trapped people to safety, including 8 elderly people and 5 children. When the last old man was carried back to the resettlement site, Zhao Jianjun, a retired soldier, had already been soaked in muddy water, and his boots were deeply scratched. "Everything should be done. If you have been a soldier, you have to rush ahead." Zhao Jianjun said.

The militia emergency forces organized by the County People’s Armed Forces Department have also become the backbone of the rescue. In the middle of the night of July 28th, 40 backbone militia members formed a material delivery team to carry bread, drinking water and other living materials on foot in the muddy mountain road. "The road ahead has slipped, so follow me around!" Chloe Wang, the captain of the militia, took a flashlight to explore the road ahead, and his trouser legs were cut by branches. After a four-hour trek, they finally sent the second batch of relief supplies to the affected people in Mayingzi Manchu Township. On the same day, another militia rescue team delivered materials to the affected areas in three batches, with a total journey of 45 kilometers, which sent much-needed living security to the temporarily disconnected villages.

In the settlement of Hongqi Town, the backbone militia became "waiters" to help build temporary tents and distribute relief materials, and specially prepared hot water and medicines for the elderly and children.

"Seeing these comrades wearing camouflage uniforms, my heart is practical." Uncle Li, a villager who had just been transferred, said that the militia not only helped him grab important documents from home, but also patiently calmed his emotions.

Up to now, the retired military affairs system cadres and backbone militia in Luanping County have transferred more than 200 people, transported 12 tons of materials and participated in road dredging for 3 kilometers. These figures, once dressed in military uniforms, continued to write loyalty with persistence and dedication in the face of public opinion, becoming the most reliable "guardians" in the hearts of the masses.

　　According to the statistics released by the Pan American Health Organization, the overall incidence of dengue fever has been on the rise in many Latin American countries recently. Since 2023, the number of dengue cases in some countries in Central America, the Andean region and Caribbean countries including Cuba and Dominica has increased significantly, and some parts of some countries have declared a state of emergency.

　　Up to now, Peru has reported more than 76,000 cases of dengue fever, including 82 deaths. The number of cases of dengue fever in Lima, the capital, has increased fivefold compared with 2022, and the Peruvian government has declared a 120-day state of emergency in 20 regions. 333 people have died of dengue fever in Brazil this year. There are more than 20,000 cases of dengue fever in Bolivia, including 69 deaths. La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, issued an epidemiological red alert after the dengue fever epidemic expanded. Argentina has reported more than 93,000 confirmed cases of dengue fever and 56 deaths. Colombia has recorded over 28,000 cases of dengue fever this year. In addition, Costa Rica, Panama and Honduras reported 974 cases, 1,278 cases and 2,803 cases of dengue fever respectively.

　　Dengue fever is an acute viral infection spread by mosquitoes, and its typical symptoms include fever, headache and joint pain. Dengue fever is divided into common dengue fever and hemorrhagic dengue fever, and the latter has a higher mortality rate. The Pan American Health Organization warned that in the hottest and wettest months, the spread of dengue fever tends to expand. Maria Carmen, executive secretary of the Andean Health Organization, pediatrician and public health expert, believes that climate change makes the temperature higher. "The shortage of tap water and the imperfect drainage system force people in some areas to store clean water, which provides a favorable environment for the breeding of mosquitoes."

　　In some Latin American countries, the primary health care force and medical facilities are weak, which makes the treatment of severe dengue patients face challenges. According to the Ombudsman’s Office of Peru, in areas with high incidence of dengue fever, medical institutions are overwhelmed, the actual nursing demand is eight times that of nursing capacity, and some drugs are in short supply.

　　In order to control the spread of dengue fever, many health departments have taken emergency measures to deal with it. The Bolivian government has formulated a plan to fight dengue fever, carry out community cleaning and set up mobile medical points. Argentina’s health department has carried out large-scale mosquito control work throughout the country, and adopted anti-mosquito measures such as installing gauze. Peruvian health and epidemic prevention personnel go door-to-door to disinfect, publicize dengue fever prevention and control knowledge to the public, and distribute mosquito repellent supplies free of charge. Rosa Gutierrez palomino, Minister of Health of Peru, has asked people to take emergency preventive measures and follow the recommendations of the health department. At the same time, the country has allocated 35 million soles (1 yuan RMB is about 0.53 soles) to deal with this public health emergency.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:In the peace process in Myanmar in recent years, China has been actively persuading and promoting talks, assisting the Myanmar government to build a communication platform with many ethnic minority local armed forces in northern Myanmar, and vigorously promoting these armed groups to participate in peace talks.

　　　　　　 At the 3rd Panglong Conference of the 21st Century and the Federal Peace Conference in Myanmar, which started on 11th, with the coordination and promotion of China, local armed representatives of seven ethnic groups in northern Myanmar attended the conference.

　　　　　　 The Binlong Conference specially set up the 3+4 talks. Among the seven ethnic local armed forces that have not signed a national ceasefire agreement with the government, the De ‘ang ethnic armed forces, the Kokang Allied Forces and the Rakhine ethnic armed forces, which have not been officially recognized by the government, and the UWSA, the Kachin Independence Army, the North Shan Army and the Fourth Special Zone of Shan State, which have been recognized by the government, have all started direct dialogue with the Myanmar government and military.

　　　　　　 Jiang Zhiming, the representative of the peace talks in the Fourth Special Zone of Shan State, said: "We feel that all of us have come here to work together for peace in Myanmar. This is a successful start."

　　　　　　 Zou Mo, vice chairman of Kachin Independent Armed Forces, said: "At present, we believe that the most important difficulty to be overcome in the peace talks is to reach mutual understanding, the second is the difference between the two sides in defining some concepts, and the third is how to sign a national ceasefire agreement. I believe that only by solving these three difficulties can the peace talks continue to advance. "

　　　　　　 This series of talks is an important impetus to the realization of peace in northern Myanmar, which indicates that the Myanmar government has taken an important step in building a peace system in northern Myanmar. In order to realize this round of dialogue, the Special Envoy for Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China went to various places to assist in communication and mediation, which played an important role in the success of the conference.

　　　　　　 Sun Guoxiang, Special Envoy for Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, said: "This time, the number of ethnic minorities from the north is the largest, so they also expressed their aspirations and hoped to have more contacts with the government and the military. We hope to see the increase of such contacts and mutual trust. China will, as always, continue to play the role of persuading and promoting talks and help them build a platform for communication. "
