Debt default approaches the White House’s calculation

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 7-American sources disclosed on the 5th that with the approaching date of the federal government hitting the current legal debt ceiling of 31.4 trillion US dollars in June, the White House is considering pushing the Democratic Party and the Republican Party to reach a short-term agreement on temporarily raising the debt ceiling and maintaining it until September, so as to gain time for solving multiple problems such as the debt ceiling, but the relevant plan has not yet been finalized.

  keep a way open for retreat

  NBC News reported on May 5th that the White House has not yet decided to push the two parties in Congress to reach a short-term agreement, but it is still seeking to reach a long-term agreement. However, White House aides are discussing a series of alternatives to avoid economic disaster due to failure to find a solution by the end of May.

  One of them will invoke the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. During the debt ceiling crisis in 2011, some people cited the fourth paragraph of the 14th Amendment, arguing that the debt ceiling would be invalid because it was unconstitutional as long as it interfered with the federal government’s debt repayment, and the president had the right to unilaterally raise or ignore the debt ceiling. However, this statement is legally controversial.

  The debt ceiling is the maximum amount that the US Congress sets for the federal government to borrow to fulfill the payment obligations it has already incurred. Touching this "red line" means that the US Treasury Department’s borrowing authorization is exhausted, and unless Congress raises the debt ceiling, the White House has no right to continue borrowing.

  According to two people familiar with the matter, the White House is considering pushing the Democratic and Republican parties in Congress to reach an agreement on raising the debt ceiling until September, so as to gain several months for the two sides to conduct more comprehensive negotiations on federal government expenditures, and the relevant time period coincides with the end of the fiscal year in Japan on September 30, and the two sides may negotiate the federal government budget for the next fiscal year together.

  According to the statistics of the American Chamber of Commerce, since 1993, the United States has temporarily raised the debt ceiling six times, all of which are aimed at gaining time for negotiating a broader plan.

  A private sector executive who has regular contact with the government said: "The White House may not push for short-term agreements, but they don’t need more drama and uncertainty in the economy. The economy is now on the verge. "

  The data shows that the real GDP of the United States increased by only 1.1% at an annual rate in the first quarter of this year. Some analysts infer that the debt ceiling crisis superimposed on the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hike may trigger the US economic recession. The White House Council of Economic Advisers predicted this week that if the debt ceiling negotiations are delayed to the deadline, the US economy may shrink by 0.3%.

  Regarding the prospect of the Republican Party’s acceptance of the short-term agreement, NBC News said that unless the two parties talk about more results on the debt ceiling, the short-term agreement "may not be helpful."

  Start negotiations

  At present, the Democratic and Republican parties are still tearing at the debt ceiling. Republicans insist that raising the debt ceiling must be based on a substantial reduction in federal government spending, while Democrats say that the debt ceiling should be raised unconditionally.

  On April 26th, the House of Representatives passed a bill put forward by the Republican Party, aiming at the government of Democratic President joseph robinette to promote many policies involving economic, social, people’s livelihood and other fields. On the premise of reducing federal government spending by 4.5 trillion US dollars in 10 years, the bill proposes to suspend the debt ceiling at 31.4 trillion US dollars by March 31 next year; If the two parties can agree to raise the debt ceiling by another $1.5 trillion before this time limit, this time limit will be invalid.

  The US Treasury Department has used "unconventional measures" to avoid debt default since January 19th this year. Finance Minister janet yellen warned that at the current rate of borrowing by the federal government, the current statutory debt ceiling could be reached as early as June 1st. Biden has invited the leader of the Democratic Party, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican Kevin McCarthy and Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, to the White House for talks on the debt ceiling on the 9th of this month.

  On May 3, US Federal Reserve Chairman Powell attended a press conference in Washington. The US Federal Reserve ended its two-day monetary policy meeting on the 3rd and announced that it would raise the target range of the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 5% to 5.25% again.

  According to NBC News, the White House’s current public position is still to seek a long-term agreement, and intends to promote the "two-track process", that is, to separate government spending from the debt ceiling.

  Biden once again criticized the hard-line conservatives in the Republican Party on the 5th, saying that they pushed for "severe" government spending cuts and did not agree to directly raise the debt ceiling, while the United States "the last thing it needs is a man-made crisis". Reuters said that this shows that the White House will not compromise significantly when it meets on the 9th.

  However, according to people familiar with the two parties, the closer the deadline is, the more likely it is to persuade the other party to make concessions.

  Dasti Johnson, McCarthy’s close friend and chairman of the moderate "Main Street Caucus" of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives, hinted that if the White House "understood our values", that is, the conditions for spending cuts proposed by the Republican Party, "they would find Republicans willing to listen".

Close-up of flood fighting and emergency rescue: a solemn ceremony of "joining the party on the line of fire"

  Anhui Broadcasting Network July 5 news (Yang Guang reporter Zhang Qiushi Anhui Taiwan Zhang Jianya Tongling Taiwan Yu Qian, Liu Shaojun) On the afternoon of July 4, Dadaowei, Baidang Lake, Zongyang County, Anhui Province. After 20 hours of continuous fighting, the sharp knife company of the Tongling detachment of the Armed Police held a solemn ceremony of "joining the Party in the line of fire" at Dadaowei. At the foot is a muddy embankment, and in front of us is a bright red party flag. Two new party member’s expression is serious, and the military appearance is neat. They raised their right hands and swore to be the Communist Party of China (CPC) and prepare party member. Old party member also revisited the pledge of joining the Party together.

  Party member Chen Binbin, a soldier of the sharp knife company of Tongling detachment of the Armed Police Force, said: "In this flood fighting and rescue, I saw old party member actively rushing to the front line to do the dirtiest and most tiring work. I have always wanted to join the party. Today, my dream came true. Like them, I will continue to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and fatigue. Strive to be a qualified Communist party member. "

  In the early morning of July 4, the water level of Baidang Lake in Zongyang County, Tongling City reached 14.98 meters, and the over-warning water level was 1.98 meters. There were three landslides in the northern ridge of Dadaowei in Baidang Lake. More than 80 soldiers of the Tongling detachment of the Armed Police were ordered to rush to the scene to carry out emergency response. After more than five hours of fighting, the soldiers made more than 2,000 sandbags, and the landslide danger was temporarily lifted. On the morning of the same day, the local government decided to start flood discharge in the flood discharge area at the right time and use the water pressure balance on both sides of the dam to consolidate the dam. In order to reduce the impact of flood discharge on the villagers around the flood discharge area, officers and men were ordered to enter the field village regardless of the fatigue of continuous operations, and built a sub-dike about 3 kilometers long, 80 meters high and 50 centimeters wide.

  Hu Guangjun, chief of staff of the Tongling detachment command of the Armed Police, told the soldiers: "According to the requirements of the Joint Index, the water level of Baidang Lake has not been reduced, and experts at the scene have made it clear that if there is danger, flood discharge will be carried out in this area behind him. The people in this area have implemented a safe transfer. At present, the second line of defense we have built is to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property in Yaogou Town in Zongyang and even Laozhou Township in Tongling City. "

  It is understood that according to the notification requirements of the Anhui Armed Police Corps, the "firewire joining the Party" activity can be carried out according to the task and difficulty of flood fighting and emergency rescue, combined with the training of party activists and the actual situation on the spot, so as to boost the morale of soldiers and give play to party member’s leading role.

  On the same day, there were recruits who had just joined the army and veterans who had been actively moving closer to the party organization for many years. After the ceremony of "Firewire Joining the Party", the soldiers put into new rescue tasks.

Chen Sicheng’s producer "manslaughter 2" is finished, and then Shawn will join hands to create a new story.

1905 movie network news Recently, the film starring producer, director and leader was officially finished, and a concept poster was launched, with a minimalist children’s composition as the visual subject and "My Dad" as the theme. As the second film in the series of "manslaughter", "manslaughter 2" continues the emotional core of father and child under the type of criminal suspense, and will also present a brand-new role and a brand-new story to the audience.


The concept poster hides the mystery. Shawn challenges the new father role


At first glance, the concept poster of "manslaughter 2" released this time looks like a child’s handwritten composition: on the wrinkled Tian Zige manuscript paper, it is a child’s immature pencil handwriting, the title of the composition is "My Dad", and the content is only "Bang! Bang, bang ‘… …” Three words. What does this onomatopoeia mean? Why is the father in the eyes of children associated with "bang"? Is the water stain on the paper a tear or something? Triggered various speculations from netizens.


In addition, it is worth noting that the title of "manslaughter 2" also has a heart-shaped mosaic of two fingerprints, one large and one small, which is skillfully combined with the overall style of the poster. This minimalist painting style is similar to the concept poster of children’s stick figure in the previous series, and it is also a child’s perspective, which also allows the audience to have more interpretation angles and more imagination space while feeling the family elements.


Shawn once again plays a father, Lin Rilang, who lives a poor but happy life with his wife, A Ling, and his son, Bug, until his son is in urgent need of emergency treatment, and the whole family is hit hard. Lin Rilang, who is desperate, finally decides to try his best to save his son. Xiao Yang was nominated for many awards for his image as Li Weijie, the father of Sheep Without A Shepherd Middle School, and his quiet and emotional performance was well received by the audience. What kind of challenges will Lin Rilang, his father, play in manslaughter 2 this time? It remains to be seen what kind of emotional impact he and his family will bring to everyone.


Quality assurance of gold medal creation team Chen Sicheng escorts young directors.


In addition to Shawn, who plays the role of "father", producer Chen Sicheng once again took charge of "manslaughter 2". Director Dai Mo and the director of Sheep Without A Shepherd’s first film were both outstanding young directors who were excavated and supported by Chen Sicheng. They were entrusted with important tasks from the beginning of online drama. Although the two new directors have different styles, they all have their own pursuits and opinions on commercial films. Producer Chen Sicheng, together with the behind-the-scenes gold medal production team, is committed to providing young directors with sufficient creative soil and space, and choosing themes that fit their personal styles, thus escorting them.


With the producer’s quality control and the joint efforts of directors, actors and all the behind-the-scenes teams, manslaughter 2 will continue the innovation and breakthrough of the series of manslaughter on the one hand, and explore a new mode of combining business types with social topics with brand-new stories on the other hand, so that the audience can have a deeper thinking while getting the ultimate experience of sensory emotions.


The film "manslaughter 2" is adapted from the film, produced by Chen Sicheng and directed by Dai Mo. I look forward to meeting the audience as soon as possible.


Britain will not take military measures against Iran in the short term?

       CCTV News:The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard announced on the 19th that it had seized a British oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier in the day, the "Supreme Court" of Gibraltar, a British overseas territory, ruled to extend the detention of the tanker "Grace I" loaded with Iranian crude oil.

       Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif said on the 20th that Iran’s actions are in line with international maritime regulations. Zarif posted on social media that unlike the "piracy" in which Iranian oil tankers were detained in the waters of Gibraltar, Iran’s seizure of the "Steiner Empire" this time is in line with international maritime regulations. Zarif urged Britain not to become a vassal role of the United States in launching economic terrorism.

       Iranian state television reported today (21st) that all the 23 crew members of the oil tanker "Steiner Empire" detained by Iran are safe and in good health, and they are now in bandar abbas. According to Iranian media reports, the detained British oil tanker has many illegal operations.

       Sharif, spokesman of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said in a statement on the 20th that "Steiner Empire" No.19 did not enter from the normal entrance, but tried to enter the sea from the south channel of the strait, which should have been the exit, which affected the safety of the route. In addition, the tanker "shut down the response system and ignored many warnings issued by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps". After receiving the request from the port and marine department of Hormuzgan province, the Iranian navy launched the seizure of the oil tanker.

       The Iranian side said that the Steiner Empire No.19 entered the Strait of Hormuz under the escort of British warships. During the seizure, the Royal Navy warships escorting the oil tanker tried to block the seizure, but the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards took the oil tanker to bandar abbas in southern Iran.

       Earlier in the day, Iranian media also released the latest images of the oil tanker "Steiner Empire" detained in bandar abbas. According to previous news from Iran, the 23 crew members of the tanker will stay on board until the relevant investigation is over.

       In addition, earlier on the 20th local time in Iran, the head of the port and maritime agency in Hormuzgan province also said that the Steiner Empire had collided with an Iranian fishing boat. The owner of the tanker, Steiner Bourcq Company of Sweden, responded in a statement that the "Steiner Empire" tanker "completely abides by navigation and international rules".

       British Foreign Secretary Hunt and Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif telephoned on the 20th and expressed their respective positions. Hunter said that Britain’s seizure of the Steiner Empire by Iran was totally unacceptable, and that Iran should release the tanker as soon as possible. Zarif stressed that Iran’s seizure of oil tankers complies with maritime regulations.

       Some analysts believe that the local authorities in Gibraltar, with the assistance of the British Navy, seized the "Grace I" tanker transporting Iranian crude oil, which was the direct cause of this Iranian action.

       On July 4th, the Gibraltar authorities, with the assistance of the British Navy, detained Grace I on the grounds of violating the EU ban. The Iranian side denied the illegal accusation, demanded the immediate release of the detained tanker and warned Britain not to play "dangerous games".

       On July 19th, the Gibraltar authorities "Supreme Court" ruled to extend the detention period of Grace I..

       Analysts believe that Iran had expected to solve the problem of the oil tanker being detained through consultation, but the decision of the Gibraltar authorities to extend the detention period undoubtedly stimulated Iran to detain the "Steiner Empire" oil tanker or a counter-measure and revenge against the recent British practice. British Foreign Secretary Jeremy hunter said the seizure of Iranian oil tankers was "unacceptable". He also stressed that if things are not resolved, "there will be serious consequences."

       On the 20th local time, within 24 hours of the seizure of the oil tanker "Steiner Empire", the British government held two consecutive high-level security meetings code-named "Cobra" to discuss the countermeasures to deal with this incident. At the same time, Britain also took diplomatic action to express its protest, and called for a meeting with Iran’s highest-ranking diplomatic official in Britain on the 20th.

       Some experts believe that if Britain wants to ensure that its oil tanker will not be detained in the Strait of Hormuz again, it should be equipped with enough surface ships to escort the oil tanker. But in fact, there are not many British ships in the Strait of Hormuz. In addition, Britain is at a critical moment of political change, which will inevitably affect Britain’s decisive handling of this incident. In addition, Britain is also facing the dilemma of Brexit, and it is unlikely to escalate its actions and use military means to solve the problem in the short term. British government officials also said in an interview with the media that they would take strong measures to promote the resolution of the incident, but did not consider military means.

In Tokyo, 4000 people live in Internet cafes every day.

They are called "Internet cafe refugees"

If you travel freely to Japan and stay in a city for a day without booking a hotel room, many travel guides will tell you that Japanese Internet cafes are a good place to spend the night.

Compared with the Internet cafes in China, Japanese Internet cafes are more "multi-functional", with private single compartments, simple beds and blankets, all kinds of food and drinks, brushing your teeth and taking a hot bath, and more importantly, the price is quite cheap, with the price of one night included as long as about 2,000 yen.

This has also attracted the curiosity of many foreign netizens. Even recently, on Youtube and other video platforms, there has been an upsurge of going to Japanese Internet cafes to experience life and shoot Vlog.

Foreigners are full of curiosity about Japanese Internet cafes and admire that it is a "paradise for otaku". But for some Japanese, it is a dark world full of depression and loneliness.

These people have no home and have to live in internet cafes every day because of life. They are called "Internet cafe refugees".

Get the number at the front desk, walk into your own single compartment, close the door, turn on the computer and sit on the floor. It becomes an isolated little world.

Hungry? Click the mouse and all kinds of fast food fried rice will be delivered to you.

When you are thirsty, you can find vending machines everywhere, and the types of drinks are comparable to any convenience store.

At bedtime, there is a separate bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Take off makeup, brush your teeth, take a shower, blow dry your hair, go back to the cubicle and sleep together, and spend the whole night on the folding mat.

This way of life, once in a while, has a different taste, but it is torture every day.

It is unimaginable that tens of thousands of people in Japan are experiencing this life every day.

Since the late 1990s, similar inter-grid Internet cafes have sprung up in Japan. After 2000, "Internet cafe refugees" became a hot topic in Japan.

In 2007, the first statistics of Japanese government departments found that on average, more than 60,000 people spent the night in Internet cafes in Japan, of which 5,400 were "permanent residents".

Due to the weak economic situation in Japan, this figure has been on the rise in the past decade. In a recent survey, the number of "Internet cafe refugees" in Tokyo alone reached 4,000.

01

A refuge for people who are afraid of society

These "Internet cafe refugees" live here for various reasons. Some are young people who have just come to big cities to seek gold, some are middle-aged people who have been laid off by their companies for over half a year, and many people can’t integrate into society because of personality problems, so they can only choose to settle down in Internet cafes.

These Internet cafes meet all the basic needs of the "home". When one door is closed, there is no need to deal with others, and there is a network that can contact the outside world with a virtual identity. Therefore, these cubicles have become the best refuge for Japanese social terrorists.

Most of these people, at first, just held the idea of a short stay in the Internet cafe, but in the end they stayed week after week, month after month, and they could never get back to their normal lives.

Masada, a 39-year-old programmer, lived in Manboo Internet Cafe in Tokyo for two years, and his daily work was also done on the computer in the Internet Cafe.

"The living environment here is actually not ideal. The room is not completely private. The walls of the compartment are not connected to the ceiling. People next door can see what you are doing without standing on tiptoe." Masada said that he could vaguely hear the voices of people talking and snoring next to him.

Masada used to rent a house, but many daily chores drove him crazy. He was afraid of contact with others and didn’t get along well with his neighbors. Finally, he simply escaped and lived in an Internet cafe.

"I don’t like the feeling of being bound, I don’t like being trapped in one place and living a free life."

In the Internet cafe, Masada didn’t have to worry about being disturbed by others, and she hardly went out every day. She slept when she was sleepy, surfed the Internet and worked when she woke up, and ate instant noodles when she was hungry, so she lived for two years.

"In the countryside, people are very enthusiastic. Tokyo is different. People don’t care about you. They only care about themselves."

Masada said that he often asks himself, do you really want to live like this all your life? On the occasion of the second anniversary of Manboo Internet Cafe, Masada finally made up his mind to leave the Internet Cafe.

"No one can live entirely on their own, and they still have to communicate with the outside world. It’s a good place to stay, but it’s impossible to stay forever. Still want to force yourself to go out and accept this new world. “

02

I feel at ease when I feel someone next door.

There are thousands of Internet cafes like Manboo all over Japan. In addition to severe social phobia patients like Masada, there are also many people who have lost their life goals.

Xiao Tong, a 23-year-old nightclub girl, lived in Manboo for two months.

"I hate loneliness, but I want to have my own independent space. This is actually very contradictory, but I found a balance in the Internet cafe. This is a private room, but you can feel that there are people next door at any time, which makes me feel at ease. "

When Xiaoyan was 16 years old, her parents kicked her out of the house on the grounds that she was an adult. "They care more about my brothers and sisters and let me die."

Due to her livelihood, Xiaoyan got a job as a hostess in a nightclub in Tokyo. Go out at night every day, sleep in the internet cafe cubicle during the day, go out to work when it is dark, and come back with fatigue in the early morning.

"My health has always been bad. At that time, I hoped to live to be 20 years old. But after this age, I am still a little lost. "

Xiaoyan said that she has no goal and can’t find a reason to live. She can only let life take her forward.

"I don’t have your so-called dream. I don’t even know where I will be a year from now, but I will be a little happier."

Xiaoyan didn’t give up life completely, but tried to find her own position in this city. "If I really want to say it, I think it’s not bad to be a serious masseur. I’m willing to learn skills."

03

Temporary workers marginalized by Japanese society

In addition to social fear and other psychological problems being marginalized by society, another culprit that drives people into Internet cafes as refugees is Japan’s informal employment system.

In the Japanese workplace, about one-third of people are employed informally, that is, we often see dispatched members or contract members in Japanese dramas. Compared with the regular employees of the same company, their income is only half, and there is no welfare, so the income of amateurs is not enough to give them the right to enjoy social relief.

The cost of living in Tokyo is so high that it is not easy to find a place to live here. According to statistics, 58% of the "Internet cafe refugees" in Japan are informal employees.

In 2015, Japanese photographer Tomita Zhisui filmed a series of documentary short films "One-off Workers in Japan", one of which was named "Internet Cafe Refugees", and won the third prize of the long-form category of the Jose Award. This short film records the true story of being forced to live in an Internet cafe because he can’t integrate into the workplace.

Wen, 26, also worked as a security guard on a construction site. At first, he looked for an apartment for a long time, but finally he gave up because he couldn’t afford it and lived in an Internet cafe.

"I often go to Internet cafes at ordinary times, so there is not so much resistance. But I still couldn’t sleep on the first night. From time to time, I was awakened by noise such as washing dishes outside, and people were very upset. "

Wenye’s income is enough to meet the living expenses in the Internet cafe. Here, the equipment is complete, and the electricity and network fees are all inclusive. It doesn’t cost too much. "But even if you want to save money, you can’t save it at all."

Although he has lived in an Internet cafe for 22 months, Wen has never given up on himself and is always working hard to become a full-time employee.

"How to say, also can’t always play temporary workers like this. So I will improve my skills from now on. I am still young and can always be a regular employee. "

04

The destination of office workers after fleeing from the workplace

Another story in the short film tells Wen that the reality may be more cruel than he thought, because even if he becomes a regular employee, he will face another level of high-intensity work pressure and endless workplace bullying.

Sakai, the protagonist of this story, is 42 years old. He worked in a credit card company for 20 years before living in an Internet cafe.

"There are 120-200 hours of overtime every month, and the content of the work is computer management and the like. I don’t have time to go home at all. I often take a nap in the company and then go to work. After waking up, I can’t tell whether it is day or night. "

Over time, Sakai’s mental state had some problems, and people around him began to complain that he was grumpy and always absent-minded, and he didn’t notice it himself. After seeing a doctor, he was diagnosed with depression.

"I took a month’s sick leave with the company, and when I came back, I found someone gossiping in front of the leader and saying,’ This guy is just too weak’ and so on."

Since then, Sakai’s salary has never risen, and the leader has stopped talking to him.

"The moment I handed in my resignation letter, it was so refreshing!" After resigning, Sakai went out to play for three months, thinking only of a new life and a happy life.

"I definitely don’t want to be an office worker anymore. I want to live in a completely different country for two or three years. This is my dream."

However, when I said this sentence, Sakai had lived in an Internet cafe for four months.

The stories of these "Internet cafe refugees" are somewhat depressing, because they have stepped into the quagmire on the edge of society for various reasons, and it is difficult to pull away.

But despite this, each of them still has hope for life. Whether they have lived in an Internet cafe for two months or two years, they are willing to stop their gloomy life and find a new direction in life. This is still very commendable.

So look at the bitterness that these people say with a smile. We should cherish the life we have now, shouldn’t we?

A large number of live cats and dogs were packaged and mailed | Zhongtong responded: The responsible person was suspended for inspection and rectification

  CCTV News:China has clear regulations on the express delivery industry, prohibiting the transportation of live animals, but the transportation of live animals has been repeatedly prohibited. On the evening of May 3, many citizens in Chengdu, Sichuan Province found that a courier company was mailing a large number of live cats and dogs.

  At 10: 30 pm on May 3, the reporter arrived at Xiqiao West Street, Chengdu Railway Station. The scene was filled with the cries of cats and dogs, which came from cages on the ground.

  Subsequently, the two trucks were stopped by volunteers in the rescue center and called the police. The reporter saw that a woven bag was put on the outside of each cage, and ZTO Express’s express bill was posted on each bag. After stopping the van, the volunteers tore a piece of each woven pocket to give the kittens and puppies air and water to drink.

  Subsequently, the reporter found the person in charge of the express delivery site to understand the situation.

  Soon, the police of the local police station and the staff of the street office have arrived at the scene. In the early morning of May 4, these kittens and puppies were safely transferred, and law enforcement officers began to verify the information.

  The outlets involved suspended the collection business and carried out rectification.

  Yesterday (4th) evening, ZTO Express released a briefing on this incident. After investigation and verification, these live animals are sold online by platform e-commerce customers. At present, ZTO Express has suspended the collection business of Chengdu Lotus Pond outlets and cooperated with relevant departments to investigate. The responsible person of ZTO Express Sichuan Management Center was suspended for inspection, and ZTO Express will carry out comprehensive self-inspection and rectification.

  In recent years, the news that all kinds of live pets are sold and mailed at will is endless. In fact, live pets need to seek special shipping channels and go through relevant procedures. China’s postal law clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to deliver or carry all kinds of live animals in the mail. In addition to the person and unit who sent the courier, the courier company can’t send the courier for profit, knowing that it is illegal. Only by strictly observing the legal provisions can we cut off the transportation channels for this kind of informal trading of animals and make the pet market more formal and legal.

Always keep sober and firm in solving the unique problems of the big party (thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era)

  As the largest Marxist ruling party in the world, our Party is unique and unprecedented in its organizational scale and the number of people in party member. Dialectically, there are great advantages and great difficulties. If we manage the party effectively and gather great strength, our party will be invincible, and we will be able to do great things, build great achievements and create miracles, otherwise we will accomplish nothing. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized in the party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress: "We must always remain sober and firm in solving the unique problems of the big party." Keeping awake and firm in solving the unique problems of the big party at all times is related to the life and death of the party and the success or failure of the party. It is a problem that the party must answer and solve well in the new era and new journey. So, what are the "unique problems" our party faces and how to solve them? At the Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech and made an important exposition on "Six Ways to Always", which pointed out the direction of action and provided fundamental follow-up for the whole party to stay awake and firm at all times and solve the unique problems of the big party.

  We must always be in Do not forget your initiative mind and remember our mission.

  This is the first problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always stay in Do not forget your initiative mind and remember the mission". The reason why General Secretary of the Supreme Leader raised this question is to remind the whole party not to forget the fundamental question of what the Communist Party of China (CPC) is and what to do, and who I am, for whom and on whom I depend. The party’s initial heart and mission are the concentrated expression of the party’s nature, purpose, ideals and beliefs, and goals. This issue is related to the fundamental issue of building, rejuvenating and strengthening the Party, and the roots, spiritual pillars and political souls of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people.

  Since its birth, our Party has made it its initial mission to seek happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and has always adhered to the communist ideal and socialist belief, which has been consistently reflected in all the Party’s struggles. For more than 100 years, the party has led the people to fight bloody battles and persevere, creating great achievements in the new-democratic revolution; Self-reliance and striving for strength have created great achievements in socialist revolution and construction; Emancipating the mind and forging ahead have created great achievements in reform, opening up and socialist modernization; Self-confidence, self-improvement, integrity and innovation have created Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great achievements in the new era and written the most magnificent epic in the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. What does it depend on? It depends on our party’s lofty ideals and lofty pursuits, and on the the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s persistent adherence to their initial mission. History and reality have repeatedly proved that a political party with lofty ideals and lofty pursuits and a firm initial mission will be strong and invincible. A party member cadre who has always been in Do not forget your initiative mind and kept his mission in mind will be able to stand up the spiritual backbone of communist party people and be "free from the east, west, north and south".

  In the new era and new journey, the goals are more ambitious, the tasks are more arduous, and the challenges are increasingly severe. It is necessary for all comrades in the Party to be sure of Do not forget your initiative mind and keep their mission in mind. We should persist in casting our souls with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, and always strengthen our faith in Marxism, Socialism with Chinese characteristics and communism, so as to "make ourselves indestructible". We must always adhere to the people’s supremacy, take the hearts of the people as the heart, share the same breath with the people, share the same destiny, and keep the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people, and always maintain the party’s advanced nature and purity.

  We must always unify our thinking, our will and our actions.

  This is the second problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always unify thoughts, will and actions". The reason why the Supreme Leader General Secretary raised this issue is to remind the whole party that nothing can be done without the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, and without the unity of thinking and the unity of pace of the whole party and the whole country. This issue is by no means a general issue or a personal matter, but a directional, principled and fundamental issue, which concerns the future and destiny of the party and the country and the fundamental interests of the people.

  Judging from the history of the party, whenever our party maintains unity and unity, our cause will win; Whenever the unity and unity of our party are undermined, our cause will suffer setbacks. Before Zunyi Conference, the cause of the Party and the people suffered many setbacks because our Party did not form a mature Central Committee and the unity of the whole Party. Zunyi Conference began to establish the leading position of the correct Marxist line with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative in the CPC Central Committee, and began to form the first generation of central collective leadership of the Party with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core, which opened a new stage for the Party to independently solve practical problems of the China revolution, saved the Party, the Red Army and the China revolution at the most critical juncture, and enabled the Party to defeat separatism in Zhang Guotao, successfully complete the Long March and open a new situation of the China revolution. Since then, our party has been moving from victory to victory. After the reform and opening up, the Party has made continuous efforts to strengthen and improve its leadership, which has provided a fundamental political guarantee for the development of the cause of the Party and the country. At the same time, there are also many problems in the party, such as vague understanding and weak action in upholding the party’s leadership, weakening, blurring, diluting and marginalizing the implementation of the party’s leadership, especially the ineffective implementation of the important decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, some of which have policies and countermeasures, and even act with duplicity and without authorization, which seriously affects the party’s image and prestige and seriously damages the party’s leadership role. History and reality have proved that only when the CPC Central Committee has authority can the whole Party be firmly United and the people of all ethnic groups in the country be closely United.Form a majestic force that is United as one and invincible. The unity and unity of the party is the future and destiny of the party and the people, and the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups in the country. It is very important to ensure the unity, centralization and unification of the Party, and to safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee, which cannot be vague or shaken at any time and under any circumstances.

  In the new era and new journey, to unify thoughts, will and actions, we must profoundly understand the decisive significance of "two establishment", strengthen "four consciousnesses", strengthen "four self-confidences" and achieve "two maintenance". It is necessary to uphold and strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, improve the party’s leadership system, improve the implementation mechanism of major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, and ensure that the whole party maintains a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core in political stance, political direction, political principles and political road. In the face of major issues and severe situations, the whole party should always think in one place, work hard in one place, and move forward as one.

  We must always have strong ruling ability and leadership level.

  This is the third problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always have a strong ruling ability and leadership level". The reason why the Supreme Leader General Secretary raised this question is to remind the whole party that a party that has been in power for a long time in a country with a population of more than 1.4 billion will not be able to unite and lead the people to complete the mission of a new era and a new journey in the face of the great changes in the world that have never happened in a century and the fact that China is in a critical period of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This issue is the key to strengthen and improve the leadership of the Party, which is of great significance and determines the overall situation.

  Our party has always attached great importance to the learning and ability improvement of the whole party, especially leading cadres, along the way, from weak to strong, from local governance to national governance, establishing a new China, carrying out socialist revolution and construction, and implementing reform and opening up. As early as the Yan ‘an period, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out: "There is a panic in our team, not an economic panic, nor a political panic, but a skill panic." Comrade Mao Zedong asked the whole party: "Learn while doing, learn war in the war, and increase talents in practice. This is our dialectics in communist party!" At the beginning of the reform and opening-up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized that we should attach importance to and study the party’s ruling ability. "If we don’t study this problem well and solve it, we can’t uphold the party’s leadership and improve the party’s prestige." Comrade Deng Xiaoping called on the whole party to "study again". General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "It is necessary to enhance learning skills, create a strong atmosphere of being good at learning and being brave in practice in the whole party, build a Marxist learning party, and promote the construction of a learning country." Looking back on the course of struggle in the past century, our party has come to this day by relying on learning and creating great achievements by relying on learning. Short rope can’t draw deep wells, and shallow water can’t bear big boats. The more the cause of the party and the state develops, the higher the requirements for the ability of leading cadres. Faced with new situations and problems,Some cadres fail to use the new method, the old method doesn’t work, the hard method doesn’t dare to use it, the soft method doesn’t work, they lack knowledge and skills, violate the law and act blindly, which brings serious losses to the cause of the party and the state. History and reality have fully proved that our party should be both politically competent and technically competent. You should have both broad shoulders and real ability to accomplish things.

  In the new era and new journey, to improve the party’s ruling ability and leadership level, it is necessary to enhance the ability to promote high-quality development, serve the masses, prevent and resolve risks, and improve the ability to prevent risks, meet challenges and resist repression. Be diligent and good at learning, learn from books, practice and people. It is necessary to take investigation and research as the basic skill, vigorously carry out investigation and research, go deep into the grassroots, the masses and the reality, and ask for politics, plans and policies for the people. We must constantly improve the level of scientific, democratic and legal governance. It is necessary to strengthen ideological tempering, political experience, practical training and professional training, constantly sharpen and improve the level of ability in major struggles, and shoulder the historical responsibility of national rejuvenation.

  The entrepreneurial spirit of officers must always be maintained.

  This is the fourth problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always maintain the entrepreneurial spirit of the officials". The reason why the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader raised this question is to remind the whole party that the big party is in power for a long time, and it is easy to pursue comfort and enjoyment, so that it is slack, depressed and not enterprising. People can’t stand without spirit, and countries can’t stand without spirit. This issue is related to whether the Party can maintain the revolutionary spirit forever, strengthen the revolutionary fighting spirit, continue the spiritual blood of communist party people, and summon up the spirit of forging ahead in a new journey and building a new era, so as to take a new road to catch the exam.

  Where history begins, the spirit comes from. Along the way of our Party, generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people have worked hard and made unremitting efforts, and formed the spirit of Jinggangshan, Soviet Area, Long March, Zunyi Conference, Yan ‘an, Anti-Japanese War, Hongyan, Xibaipo, Zhaojin, Northeast Anti-Union, Nanniwan, Taihang (Luliang), Dabie Mountain, Yimeng, Old District, and so on. The spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite", the spirit of Lei Feng, the spirit of Jiao Yulu, the spirit of Daqing (iron man), the spirit of Hongqi Canal, the spirit of the Great Northern Wilderness, the spirit of Saihanba, the spirit of "two roads", the spirit of old Xizang (Kong Fansen), the spirit of moving westward and the spirit of Wang Jie; The spirit of reform and opening up, the spirit of the special zone, the spirit of fighting floods, the spirit of fighting SARS, the spirit of earthquake relief, the spirit of manned space flight, the spirit of model workers (labor spirit, craftsman spirit), the spirit of Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and the spirit of women’s volleyball; The the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s spiritual pedigree, including the spirit of getting rid of poverty, fighting against epidemic, the spirit of "three cows", the spirit of scientists, the spirit of entrepreneurship, the spirit of exploring the moon, the spirit of Beidou in the new era and the spirit of Silk Road, has become a comprehensive embodiment of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s ideals and beliefs, political character, sense of purpose, will quality and spiritual outlook, which has provided us with rich nourishment for building and strengthening the party. The history of the party’s hundred years of struggle shows that,Only a political party with great spirit can lead the people to win a great struggle and create a great cause. Li Dazhao said: "The road of history is not all smooth, and sometimes it comes to the realm of difficulties and obstacles, which can only be rushed by the heroic spirit." The great achievements of the new era are made by the party and the people. History tells us that people should have a little spirit, and political parties with revolutionary and desperate spirit will be invincible.

  In the new era and new journey, to always maintain the entrepreneurial spirit of the officers, it is necessary to carry forward the great spirit of party building, inherit the red genes, and continue the red blood; We must dare to fight, be good at fighting, and rely on tenacious struggle to open up a new world of career development; It is necessary to carry forward the great historical initiative, be brave in taking responsibility, and forge ahead courageously in meeting challenges and overcoming difficulties.

  We must always be able to find and solve our own problems in time.

  This is the fifth problem to solve the unique problems of the big party elaborated by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, emphasizing "how to always find and solve their own problems in time". The reason why General Secretary of the Supreme Leader raised this question is to remind the whole party to be brave in upholding the truth and correcting mistakes. This issue is related to whether the Party can break through the worldwide difficult problem of "it is easy to change others’ lives, but it is difficult to change one’s own", and whether it can remain youthful and energetic in confronting problems and overcoming shortcomings.

  It is an unprecedented great undertaking to carry out revolution, construction and reform in a big country like China, and to promote the great historical cause of national rejuvenation. It is inevitable that mistakes or even mistakes will occur in the exploration. However, with the support of the people, our party has overcome difficulties, corrected mistakes and moved towards the bright future by relying on its own strength. It can be said that it has been a few times to survive, and it has been a few times. It is in this process that our party has become stronger and more mature. History and reality have proved that the greatness of the party lies not in not making mistakes, but in never being afraid of diseases and doctors, actively carrying out criticism and self-criticism, daring to face problems directly and being brave in self-revolution.

  In the new era and new journey, if we can always find and solve our own problems in time, we must persist in emancipating our minds, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, seeking truth and being pragmatic, carrying forward the spirit of self-revolution, constantly eliminating all factors that damage the Party’s advanced nature and purity, constantly eliminating all viruses that erode the Party’s healthy body, and building the Party into a Marxist ruling party that is always at the forefront of the times, wholeheartedly supported by the people, brave in self-revolution, able to withstand all kinds of storms and tests, and full of vitality.

  We must always maintain a clean and upright political ecology.

  This is the sixth problem expounded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary to solve the unique problems of the big party, emphasizing "how to always maintain a clean and upright political ecology". The reason why the Supreme Leader General Secretary raised this issue is to remind the whole party that political ecology, like natural ecology, is easily polluted if it is not paid attention to, and it will cost a lot to recover once problems arise. This issue is related to the party’s physical health, whether our party can gather strong positive energy, and whether our party can never deteriorate, change color or taste.

  Our Party is the vanguard of the working class in China, as well as the people of Chinese and the Chinese nation. It has no special interests of its own, never represents any interest group, any power group or any privileged class, and it is absolutely not allowed to have various interest groups within the Party, nor is it allowed to form a party for selfish ends. It is our party’s fine tradition and political advantage to carry out serious inner-party political life and create a good political ecology. Gutian Conference put forward the principle of ideological party building and political army building, which emphasized that party member’s thoughts and life within the Party should be politicized and scientific. The success of Zunyi Conference is due to the restoration of democratic centralism, the active ideological struggle within the Party and the normal life within the Party. After the rectification movement in Yan ‘an, our party gradually formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with the main contents of seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close contact with the masses, criticizing and self-criticizing, democratic centralism, and strict party discipline in the long-term practice, which ensured that the party was full of vitality. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has set an example, firmly promoted the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, adhered to the close combination of ideological party building and institutional party management, concentrated put in order’s party style, severely punished corruption, and purified the political ecology within the party, which has shown a new atmosphere in the political life within the party and won the hearts and minds of the party. History and reality fully prove that when the political ecology is good, people’s hearts will be smooth and healthy; When the political ecology is not good, people will be distracted and ill.

  In the new era and new journey, to maintain a clean and upright political ecology, it is necessary to be serious about the political life within the Party, cultivate a positive and healthy political culture within the Party, carry forward and practice the values of loyalty, honesty, fairness and decency, seeking truth from facts, honesty and integrity, and advocate a clean and refreshing relationship between comrades, a well-behaved relationship between superiors and subordinates, and a pro-clean political and business relationship. Adhere to the strict tone to strengthen the discipline and discipline, and resolutely oppose corruption with the determination and will to blow the charge forever. Adhere to the correct orientation of employing people, select and use good cadres, promote the elimination of the able, the mediocre and the inferior, and gather the majestic power of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the strong positive energy of the whole party.
