The latest edition of Dietary Guidelines for China Residents 2022 updated the recommendation on milk consumption, and the recommended daily milk consumption of residents was revised from 300g in 2016 to 300-500g.

　　However, the 2022 China Dairy Merchants Index Report (hereinafter referred to as the Report) released today (June 13th) found that in the past five years, the public’s knowledge and behavior of drinking milk have been continuously improved, but in 2022, the public’s average daily intake of dairy products was 255 ml. Only 24.2% people consume more than 300ml of dairy products every day.

　　The report also found that the "milk population" who can insist on daily intake of dairy products accounts for about a quarter of China’s population. At present, most of Chinese has not formed the habit of drinking milk every day. So, what are the obstacles that affect Chinese’s drinking milk?

　　China Dairy Merchants Index Report 2022.

　　Why are dietary guidelines updated?

　　"Dairy products contain high-quality protein. Among natural foods, calcium in milk is the most beneficial for human body to absorb." Chen Wei is the chief physician of the Nutrition Department of Union Medical College Hospital. He told reporters that milk is an excellent food source for calcium intake. With the improvement of living standards of Chinese people, the recommended intake is also "rising". Some studies at home and abroad also found that the lack of dairy intake may be related to some chronic diseases. For health reasons, Dietary Guidelines for China Residents 2022 advocates that China residents should consume more dairy products.

　　"Dietary Guide" is a guiding document that transforms the existing evidence research on dietary nutrition and health into a balanced diet based on food according to the food production and supply and the actual living conditions of residents, so as to help people make scientific food choices, rationally match meals, promote health and prevent and reduce the occurrence of nutrition-related diseases.

　　The recommended amount of calcium intake varies from country to country. In 2022, researchers from School of Public Health of Harbin Medical University published articles in Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine. Taking the recommended amount of calcium for adults in various countries as an example, the United States, Britain, Northern Europe and the European Union were 1000 mg/day, 700 mg/day, 800 mg/day and 950mg/ day respectively. Except for the actual intake level in the United States, the actual calcium intake in other countries was higher than the recommended amount.

　　In East Asia, the recommended amount of calcium for Japanese adults is 660mg/ day for women and 738mg/ day for men. According to the 2019 Japan National Health and Nutrition Survey, the average calcium intake of residents is about 560mg/ day, which is slightly lower than the recommended amount. The recommended amount of dietary calcium for adults in China is 800mg/ day, but the actual intake is only 366.1mg/ day, which is significantly lower than the recommended amount. The researchers believe that it is suggested that there may be a general lack of calcium intake among Chinese residents.

　　Before the latest revision of the 2022 version of the dietary guidelines for China residents was released, the China Nutrition Society organized experts to complete the Scientific Research Report on Dietary Guidelines for China Residents in order to find evidence for revising the dietary guidelines.

　　In the part about dairy products, the "Research Report" puts forward that "the average intake of milk by Chinese residents has been at a low level, and the consumption rate of milk and its products in all groups is low, and the consumption rate of children and adolescents is higher than that of adults, and the consumption of all groups is lower than the recommended intake level. Insufficient milk intake is the main reason for the high proportion of calcium intake by Chinese residents."

　　Among them, the nutrition and health problems of the elderly population are not optimistic. According to the data of the above-mentioned "research report", the proportion of insufficient calcium intake among the elderly is higher than 80%, and the problem of malnutrition among the elderly in rural areas is more prominent.

　　On June 13th, the 2022 Dairy Business Index report was released online.

　　The habit of drinking milk has yet to be formed

　　"The value of the recommended amount is given through a large sample epidemiological investigation and expert argumentation." For the update of dietary guidelines for China residents, Zuo Xiaoxia, director of the Nutrition Department of the Eighth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital, said that this was based on the actual situation and "try to be in line with international standards."

　　In the "Research Report", the expert group also combed the recommended values of dietary guidelines for milk and dairy products in some countries and regions. Among them, the recommended amount in Japan is 200ml, that in the United States is about 710ml, that in Australia is 300-750ml, and that in Hong Kong, China is 480ml for men and 240-480ml for women. The recommended intake of dairy products in Asian countries is generally lower than that in Europe and America.

　　In order to understand the changes of China people’s knowledge, behavior and habit of drinking milk, since 2018, China Dairy Industry Association, China Association for the Promotion of International Exchanges in Health Care and Royal Dutch Friesland have jointly launched a survey called "China Dairy Merchants Index Report". Yang Guochao, Vice Chairman of China Dairy Industry Association and Senior Vice President of Royal Friesland of the Netherlands, said that the China Dairy Merchants Index Report over the years has not only objective data, but also a forward-looking perspective and novel views, which has attracted the attention of all sectors of society. Through the annual survey of dairy merchants, we can understand the present situation of Chinese people drinking milk, find out the problems and try to explore solutions.

　　It is worth mentioning that in the five-year survey, the dairy quotient index of China has increased from 60.6% in 2018 to 63.2% in 2022. Experts believe that the public’s knowledge of drinking milk is gradually enriched, and the behavior of drinking milk is gradually improving, which is the result of various factors such as economic income growth, improvement of living standards and popularization of scientific knowledge.

　　However, the challenge that cannot be ignored is that in 2022, the public’s daily intake of dairy products will reach the standard rate (that is, the average daily intake ≥ 300ml) is only 24.2%. Although it is slightly improved compared with 22.5% in 2018, the compliance rate is still very low. "This shows that the dairy merchants of the people in our country still need to be improved." Zuo Xiaoxia said.

　　What prevents Chinese from eating more dairy products?

　　Chen Wei, chief physician of the Nutrition Department of Union Medical College Hospital, believes that dairy products have not yet achieved all-round popularization on the dining table of China residents. He believes that this has a historical background. For a long time, most residents in China have taken plants and herbs as their main sources of nutrition, while milk food has not yet entered most people’s living habits.

　　"The public has not yet regarded dairy products as an indispensable part of life. We eat rice and pasta every day, but few people think that we can’t do it without drinking milk for a day." Chen Wei said.

　　Moreover, China residents’ natural reaction to dairy products intake is to drink milk. In fact, the nutrition of cheese is not bad at all. For example, the calcium content of milk is about 104mg/100g, and the calcium content of cheese is 799 mg/100 g.

　　The report of dairy merchants also puts forward, "According to 10 kilograms of milk ≈ In terms of 1 kg of cheese, eating more cheese helps children reach the standard of daily dairy intake of 300-500g g. " Infants over one year old can try to eat cheese, try to choose pasteurized natural cheese with low sodium content, and cut it into small pieces when eating to prevent choking.

　　Drinking milk scientifically starts with dolls, and many kindergartens in Beijing set up training courses for dairy merchants.

　　How to correctly ingest dairy products?

　　Chen Wei believes that the public also has a misunderstanding in understanding, as if when it comes to drinking milk to supplement nutrition, it will think of teenagers, the elderly and pregnant women. "It seems that among these three groups of people, dairy products (especially solid milk) are more accepted, and everyone is more willing to take the initiative to supplement them." Chen Wei believes that in fact, the intake of dairy products by adults can not be ignored, which also shows that the general public has not yet developed a habit.

　　Apart from the fact that eating habits are difficult to change in a short period of time, another factor that affects China residents’ milk intake is that there are many misunderstandings about dairy products.

　　For example, are lactose intolerant people completely unable to consume dairy products? Lactose intolerance mainly refers to people’s inability to effectively digest lactose in milk when they ingest it, resulting in abdominal distension, nausea, diarrhea and other problems. The root cause of this phenomenon is the lack of lactase.

　　The incidence of lactose intolerance is really high among people in China who have no habit of drinking milk. Chen Wei emphasized that lactose intolerance should be distinguished from milk allergy, which are two different reactions. Milk allergy is an allergic reaction to milk protein, and its symptoms include laryngeal edema and even systemic immune response, which often have more serious symptoms and require medical intervention.

　　According to the survey of dairy merchants, more than half of the public have been able to recommend lactose-free or low-lactose dairy products for lactose intolerance around them. However, about 10% of the public still have misunderstandings about lactose intolerance and think that they can’t eat any dairy products.

　　People who are lactose intolerant should not give up dairy products. Chen Wei suggested that people who are lactose intolerant can choose yogurt and cheese. Most of the lactose in these products is used by lactic acid bacteria, and the lactose content is low. In fact, some dairy products specially for lactose intolerant people have been developed in the market, such as lactose-free milk developed for Asians.

　　In addition, "if the value of dairy products is recognized, lactose intolerant people can slowly try to gradually increase from less to more when drinking milk, and slowly adapt the intestines." Chen Wei said.

　　Another misunderstanding is that many people think that milk drinks and some milk tea on the market can also be the sources of dairy products. China Residents’ Dietary Guidelines Scientific Research Report 2021 also mentioned that the sales volume of sugary drinks is increasing year by year, and 42.1% of the free sugar intake of urban people comes from sugary drinks and milk drinks. The consumption rate of sugary drinks and beverages among children and adolescents is above 30% and 25%, which is significantly higher than that of adults. At present, the average level of sugar intake of Chinese residents is not high, and the proportion of people whose energy supply ratio exceeds 10% is 1.95, but the consumption rate of sugary drinks of children and adolescents is higher than that of adults, and the energy supply ratio of sugar for children aged 3-5 is as high as 4.8%, which should be paid enough attention to.

At the end of 2022, the personal loan rate in Nanjing was as high as 103%.　

The action of "supporting the demand for buying houses because of the city" is still going on, and the recent new provident fund policies in popular cities are particularly eye-catching.

On February 27th, Nanjing Housing Provident Fund Management Center issued "Implementation Rules on Optimizing Relevant Provisions on Withdrawing Housing Provident Fund to Pay for House Purchase in Nanjing" (hereinafter referred to as "Provident Fund Rules"), clarifying that eligible employees can use the balance of provident fund accounts to pay the down payment for house purchase.

From lowering the interest rate of provident fund loans, increasing the loan amount, supporting "business to public" to liberalizing the provident fund for down payment. Since last year, while optimizing the "four limits" and adjusting the housing commercial loan policy, various localities have gradually opened up their initiatives in provident fund. According to the statistics of the Central Finger Research Institute, since 2022, more than 200 provinces and cities (counties) have optimized the housing provident fund loan policy. Except Nanjing, more than 20 provinces and cities such as Fuzhou and Zhongshan have allowed housing provident fund to pay the down payment.

In this regard, Chen Wenjing, director of market research of the Central Finger Research Institute, told reporters that this will help to reduce the early capital turnover pressure of buyers, on the other hand, it can provide additional funds for buyers, reduce the pressure on mortgage loans that has attracted much attention at present, and further release the housing demand. However, while paying attention to the favorable policies for the property market, the industry is generally concerned about whether the relevant policies are "symptomatic", especially in cities with high loan ratios such as Nanjing, which should also consider the liquidity pressure of the provident fund.

Nanjing provident fund can be used for down payment of house purchase.

On February 2nd, the Nanjing Municipal Government mentioned in the "Several Policies and Measures for Promoting the Economic Operation in Nanjing to Take the Lead in the Overall Improvement" that in promoting the release of reasonable housing demand, it supports the withdrawal of housing provident fund to pay the down payment for house purchase, and reduces the turnover pressure of residents’ down payment funds.

Looking at the "Detailed Rules for Provident Funds" specifically, the document clearly states that employees and their spouses who have paid housing provident funds in this city (hereinafter referred to as "house purchasing employees") can sign an agreement with the development enterprise to use the balance in the individual housing provident fund account as the pre-purchase funds; If the employees who purchase the existing housing in Nanjing meet the conditions for house purchase, they can sign an agreement with the seller to use the balance in the individual housing provident fund account as the pre-purchase funds.

This also means that qualified housing workers in Nanjing can reduce the cost pressure by withdrawing the provident fund when purchasing new and second-hand houses. The new regulations will be implemented from the date of issuance and will be valid until December 31, 2023. Based on this calculation, the period for citizens to enjoy the new regulations is about 10 months.

"(The New Deal) is conducive to reducing the pressure on the early capital turnover of buyers and helping to release the housing demand. On the other hand, for buyers who are willing to reduce loan expenses, the withdrawal of provident fund also provides additional funds for buyers, increasing the proportion of down payment that can be paid. " Chen Wenjing pointed out.

Before the new provident fund policy, the frequency of Nanjing’s "policy for the city" has been high, including liberalizing the purchase restriction in some areas, providing subsidies for talents to buy houses, lowering the threshold for buying second homes, etc. In addition, the personal housing commercial loan policy has also been adjusted, which has boosted the property market significantly.

According to the data of the Central Finger Research Institute, the transaction volume of second-hand houses in Nanjing rebounded to around 6,700 sets in January, with a year-on-year increase. In February, the heat of Nanjing’s new housing market also increased significantly. As of February 28, the transaction area was 605,800 square meters, up 52.90% from the previous month and down 7.75% from the same period last year. The average transaction price was 29,492 yuan/m2, down 12.49% from the previous month and 24.39% from the same period last year.

Previously, statistics from the Bureau of Statistics showed that the sales price of new houses in Nanjing rose year-on-year in January, and the chain was changed from a downward trend to the same as last month. Although the price of second-hand housing continued to decline year-on-year, the chain has been reversed. Not only in Nanjing, but also with the support of multi-faceted policies, the national property market has shown signs of overall warming. Data from a number of third-party platforms show that the transaction volume of the property market rose sharply in February, and the year-on-year decline narrowed. Taking second-hand houses as an example, according to the statistics of Zhuge Housing Search Data Research Center, the transaction volume of second-hand houses in key 10 cities has rebounded strongly by 54% since February, with popular cities such as Hangzhou, Qingdao and Chengdu leading the way.

What is the effect of the new provident fund policy?

Nanjing is not the first city to support the withdrawal of provident fund for down payment. As early as 2022, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Zhuhai, Hainan and other cities introduced similar New Deal. According to the statistics of the Central Finger Research Institute, more than 200 provinces and cities (counties) in China have optimized the housing provident fund loan policy since last year, of which more than 20 provinces and cities have allowed the housing provident fund to pay the down payment.

In addition to supporting the withdrawal of provident fund to pay down payment, the main regulatory directions in various places include increasing the amount of provident fund loans, reducing the down payment ratio of provident fund loans, relaxing the criteria for determining the number of housing units according to the records of provident fund loans, supporting provident fund loans in different places, extending the longest loan period of provident fund, liberalizing the "business transfer to the Communist Party" or offering subsidized provident fund loans, and "one person buying a house to help the whole family".

Regarding the increase in the frequency of the new provident fund policy, Yang Kewei, deputy general manager of the Research Center of Kerui Research Center, pointed out last year that in addition to the greater flexibility in the adjustment of the provident fund loan policy, more importantly, the "four-limit" policy toolbox in many cities has gradually been hollowed out, and the demand-side regulation basically has only two options: provident fund and housing subsidy, while the latter will not only increase financial pressure, but the actual stimulus effect is very limited.

Nowadays, the adjustment space of individual housing commercial loan policy is gradually narrowing after many enlargements, especially under the background that there is a certain threshold for lowering the interest rate of the first suite, it is still an important direction to release the demand for buying houses from the housing provident fund, and the policy measures continue to diversify with the follow-up of various places. Chen Wenjing believes that in the short term, all localities will continue to combine the actual situation of their own provident fund use to "make policy according to the city", and support the cities where the provident fund pays the down payment or continue to expand.

However, compared with commercial loans with wider coverage, the effect of the new provident fund policy also varies from city to city. For example, as early as the middle of last year, Kerry Research Center found that the new provident fund policies in various cities have been implemented, but the policies in most cities such as Nanning and Jinhua have had little effect. Only after the implementation of the New Kunming Policy, the proportion of provident fund loan customers has increased.

"Judging from the implementation effect of the new provident fund policy, the actual inciting effect of the policy on the demand for housing purchase is very limited. Most typical cities reflect that only a few customers may increase their willingness to buy houses or turn to provident fund loans because of the relaxation of the provident fund policy." At that time, the reason why the effect was lower than expected was summarized. Yang Kewei pointed out that it was mainly because of the narrow scope of benefits and "medicine is not symptomatic".

How big is the execution space?

Although many cities have implemented the support of provident fund for down payment, another question worth considering is whether the individual loan rates in various places can continue to support the New Deal.

In the middle of last year, Yang Kewei predicted that Jinan, Nanchang, Kunming and other cities have ample liquidity of provident funds, and there is still room for obvious relaxation of policies. However, the liquidity of Nanjing, Dalian and other cities is already tight, and the space for loosening the provident fund policy is limited.

At the 2022 year-end summary meeting of Nanjing Housing Provident Fund Management Center held in January this year, it was mentioned that the city paid 39.093 billion yuan of housing provident fund for employees throughout the year, and the personal loan rate of housing provident fund remained at 103%. Specifically, Nanjing collected a total of 53.582 billion yuan of housing provident fund last year, achieving 107% of the annual target tasks; 28.384 billion yuan of housing provident fund loans were issued, achieving 105% of the annual target.

The so-called personal loan rate of housing provident fund is the ratio of the loan balance of individual housing provident fund to the deposit balance of provident fund. Chen Wenjing pointed out that the personal loan rate in Nanjing is over 100%, which indicates that the fund gap of the provident fund is more prominent. Withdrawing the provident fund as a down payment will further reduce the deposit balance of the provident fund, and the pressure of fund liquidity may increase.

However, Hainan recently mentioned the securitization of provident fund loan assets, or provided reference for some cities with high liquidity pressure of provident fund. According to the data of 2021 National Provident Fund Annual Report, by the end of 2021, the personal loan ratio of Hainan Provident Fund reached 91.14%, which was also at a high level. Chen Wenjing pointed out that asset securitization can improve the use efficiency of provident fund to a certain extent, expand the sources of provident fund funds, and alleviate the fund gap of provident fund loans. If it is actually implemented, it can also provide reference for other regions.

For other cities with relatively loose personal loan rates, Yang Kewei suggested that it is also possible to further "make policies according to the city" according to its own situation. For example, for cities with moderate liquidity whose personal loan ratio is less than 80% or 80% ~ 90%, you can choose to increase the amount of provident fund loans, reduce the down payment ratio, implement "accepting loans but not recognizing houses", allow loans from different places, and let go of "business to public"; For cities with tight liquidity, we can relax the loan policy of using provident fund for the first time or the first suite, temporarily not adjust more than two sets, or support young talents, families with many children and other groups to purchase houses with provident fund.

　　IndonesiaIt is a place where many religions coexist.Bali IslandResidents mainly believe inIndiaTeach, no matter what you areBali IslandYou can feel people’s devout religious beliefs and colorful artistic and cultural atmosphere here anywhere.

　　Today, let’s meet.Bali IslandA coming special festival in culture-Peace Day.

　　Nyepi Day of Silence isIndonesiaThe festival, which started on March 26th, 1936, marks the start of the new year, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. It is held in March every year, and it is a day of silence, fasting and meditation.

　　This year’sBali IslandPeace Day is on March 28th.

　　The moral of Nyepi Festival is to eliminate all bad gods and start a new year. From sunrise, the whole island was almost silent for the next 24 hours. There were no planes taking off and landing, no vehicles running and no electricity available, which meant no fire, no light, no TV to watch and no music to listen to. All shops must be closed except hotels and hospitals. Everyone, including travelers, is not allowed to go to the street.

　　The original intention of the traditional Nyepi Festival is to fool evil spirits into thinking.Bali IslandHas been abandoned, so that they will leave. currentBali IslandThe government has given this festival a new meaning. They regard Nyepi Festival as an innovative model to adapt to climate change and call on the world to accept a global quiet day.

　　In fact, there are colorful festivals before and after Nyepi Festival, and there is a lot of excitement to see. On the eve of Nyepi Festival, large-scale celebrations will be seen everywhere on the island, and people will offer the most beautiful tributes to attract the devil. Their meeting point is the main intersection of each village, where priests hold exorcism ceremonies.

　　Then, the whole island suddenly entered a simulated "chaotic state". People banged kulkul, gongs and drums and cans, set off fireworks and shouted "megedi megedi!" (get out! ) to drive out the devil.

　　What followed was an active ogoh-ogoh (a huge paper monster doll with threatening gestures and horrible faces) street parade. His artistic creation is the result of many hands’ efforts for many weeks. In the end, everything will rise in flames, which will draw a spectacular end to the ceremony.

　　It is believed that the devil who survived this wild party will leave the island in the face of the boring silence the next day.

　　Bali Island　Raya Sesetan in Banjar Kaja is the only surviving community that holds a "public kissing tug-of-war" on New Year’s Eve. This tug-of-war is called Med-medan, in which young boys and girls line up and pull each other until the other side kisses their cheeks as the winner. At the same time, the audience usually splash water on them to form a funny and lovely picture.

　　At sunset, islanders began to hold Ngrupuk ceremony, burning Ogoh-Ogoh, which meant taking away all the bad things and welcoming the new year. This wonderful, incredible and superstitious celebration just expresses the local people’s awe of religion, respect for tradition and positive yearning for life. .

　　This year’s Peace Day (Nyepi)

　　It was on March 28th.

　　It is also a day of silence, hollowness and meditation. All shops are closed except hotels, hospitals and police stations. After the dreamlike carnival, the surrounding environment will become pleasant, quiet and peaceful. The setting of this festival is actually to hope that the noisy heart will have a half-hour silence and tranquility, so that everyone can return to inner peace. On the day of tranquility,Bali IslandPeople will stop their activities, and there is no one on the street. Only security officer Pecalang patrols the street.

　　People’s Daily Online, Shenyang, November 14 (Reporter He Yong) Starting from this year, outpatient intravenous infusion in medical institutions above grade 3 (except pediatric hospitals or pediatric clinics) will be completely cancelled; By the end of next year, all hospitals above the second level should join the monitoring network of clinical application of antibacterial drugs and bacterial resistance in the province; The top 10 physicians of each drug prescription amount are publicized in the whole province … …

　　In order to further control the use of drugs, reduce the abuse of antibiotics, and improve the level of rational use of drugs and medical services, the Liaoning Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission recently issued the Notice on Further Implementing the Key Work Plan of the Action Plan for Further Improving Medical Services.

　　According to the plan, this year, Liaoning will gradually cancel the outpatient intravenous infusion in medical institutions (except pediatric hospitals or pediatric outpatient clinics) above the third level, and patients in emergency and daytime surgery can take intravenous infusion treatment under the condition of strict control of indications.

　　In view of the problem of excessive drugs in some medical institutions, the Notice also requires medical institutions in all parts of the province to account for no more than 30% of drugs, and the utilization rate of antibacterial drugs for Class I incisions should not exceed 30%. Before the end of 2017, tertiary hospitals and 50% secondary hospitals in Liaoning Province must join the "Monitoring Network for Clinical Application of Antibiotics and Monitoring Network for Bacterial Resistance"; Before the end of 2018, all medical institutions above the second level in Liaoning Province should be included.

　　According to the responsible comrades of the Medical Affairs Department of the Provincial Health Planning Commission, at present, several major hospitals in Shenyang have cancelled outpatient infusion, and the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, the Second Affiliated Hospital and the Provincial People’s Hospital have all cancelled outpatient infusion, and all tertiary hospitals will stop before the end of the year. The reporter learned in Shengjing Hospital (the Second Affiliated Hospital) that at present, infusion has been cancelled in other clinics except pediatric clinics and emergency departments.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission said that in order to strengthen the management of clinical drug use, medical institutions above the second level in the province need to take the top 10 drugs with the total monthly purchase amount as the list of drugs to be monitored by their own institutions, and publicize the top 10 doctors with the prescription amount of each drug. At the same time, hospitals need to establish a special prescription review system for key monitoring drugs, and instruct relevant departments and doctors to implement improvement measures for problems.

　　According to experts, many outpatient diseases do not need infusion, but at present, there is a common phenomenon of abuse of antibacterial drugs in patients with colds and diarrhea after surgery. "If you can take medicine, don’t give an injection, and if you can give an injection, don’t give an infusion" is the World Health Organization’s medication principle. Because oral drugs are absorbed by the gastrointestinal digestive system, not by the blood circulation system, it has less side effects on the body; Intravenous drugs directly inject drugs into the blood, participate in the internal circulation, have a heavy metabolic burden on the liver and kidney, and are easy to cause adverse reactions, and even sudden death in severe cases.

　　According to incomplete statistics, China’s annual infusion volume exceeds 10 billion bottles, which is equivalent to 8 bottles per 1.3 billion people. Three out of every 10 outpatients are infused, far higher than the global level of about 2 bottles. Even many people think that infusion can make the disease better faster, and even if it is not sick, it can supplement nutrition.

The Yangtze River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and an important support for the development of the Chinese nation. The construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is a major strategy related to the overall development of the country. In January 2016, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over a symposium to promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and clearly put forward the development orientation of "jointly protecting and not developing" for the first time, which laid the ecological priority tone for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

As an important node city in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, is surrounded by great rivers, great lakes and famous mountains, with a coastline of 152 kilometers along the Yangtze River. At the same time, it is also a traditional industrial base, which is both a national key ecological function area and an eco-environment sensitive area. In recent years, Jiujiang City has focused on the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, paid close attention to ecological protection and restoration, promoted industrial green development and energy transformation, achieved high-quality development and high-level protection, and achieved a series of turning changes. In this process, innovations in systems and tools such as green finance and transitional finance, and breakthroughs in technological empowerment have explored a new path for the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Deeply integrated into the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the local financial system, while guarding "one lake with clear water flowing into the river" and "one Qing Jiang with water flowing eastward", sang a magnificent new era "Song of the Yangtze River".

Harmony between man and nature.

Whenever the Yangtze River enters the wet season in summer, you can see the strange natural landscape at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake on the water when you board Shi Zhongshan. As the last pass before the Yangtze River enters the downstream plain, it is also the throat of Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, which flows into the Yangtze River. Poyang Lake is rich in water resources and aquatic life supply, which makes it the main habitat of endangered species such as Yangtze finless porpoise and the communication channel between rivers and lakes.

In order to protect, research and develop the finless porpoise and fish germplasm resources, in 2020, Hukou County started the construction of China finless porpoise Bay (Hukou) aquatic biological protection base. The project was strongly supported by the financial system. Jiujiang Branch of Agricultural Development Bank made a 17-year loan of 1.06 billion yuan, and innovatively adopted the financing mode of future income rights pledge, which not only effectively managed the living environment of finless porpoises, but also opened the way for the financing of public welfare biodiversity conservation projects.

The person in charge of the base told the Financial Times reporter that after the base was completed, the number of finless porpoises increased from more than 800 at the minimum to 1,249 at present, and the effect of biological protection was fully demonstrated. At the same time, the first comprehensive freshwater fish science museum in China, which integrates teaching, scientific research and popularization of science, has received more than 230,000 visitors for two years, and achieved an annual income of 164 million yuan.

The finless porpoise frequently writes the most vivid footnotes for the great protection of the Yangtze River, and the awakening of people’s awareness of biodiversity protection has also made the finless porpoise Bay the most intuitive embodiment of the transformation of ecological achievements in the great protection of the Yangtze River.

Financial plan for Yangtze River protection

Fully supporting Jiujiang to build the "most beautiful coastline" of 152 kilometers and promoting the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt with high standards and high quality is a mission entrusted by the times for the local financial system.

"In supporting the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, finance has always adhered to the strategic positioning of" jointly protecting and not developing ",preventing" one size fits all "and putting an end to" rushing headlong into it ",focusing on ecological priority and green development." Wu Jun, president of Jiujiang Branch of China People’s Bank, told reporters.

Under the guidance of Jiangxi Branch of the People’s Bank of China, Jiujiang Branch of the People’s Bank of China put the protection and restoration of the Yangtze River ecological environment at the top of financial support, and together with the transformation and upgrading of key industries and exploring effective ways to realize the transformation of ecological value, it was jointly identified as the three core tasks for Jiujiang financial system to promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and promoted Jiujiang Municipal Government to issue the "Three-year Action Plan of Jiujiang Financial Support for the High-quality Development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt". The "Program" involves more than 40 relevant departments, counties and districts, and more than 10 bank insurance institutions, with clear responsibilities and responsibilities.

Financial support is not only reflected in expanding capital supply, optimizing financial service mode and financial product innovation, but also in improving financing policy guarantee system and risk prevention mechanism and optimizing financial ecological environment. Wu Jun told reporters that the practice in recent years shows that building a multi-level policy coordination framework is the institutional basis for the landing of green finance. The innovation of market-oriented financial instruments has promoted the transformation of ecological value, and the empowerment of science and technology has further cracked the efficiency bottleneck of traditional finance in the environmental field. At the same time, green finance and transitional finance have been effectively linked and coordinated, and a "double pillar" of green and low-carbon development has been built. The data shows that by the end of June 2025, the balance of green loans in Jiujiang was 99.015 billion yuan, up 23.25% year-on-year, which was 16.34 percentage points higher than the growth rate of various loans in the same period. The proportion of new green loans in the whole year reached 54.4%.

Environmental governance remoulds new ecology

In the bustling old city of Jiujiang, there are two waters covering a total area of more than 1,500 mu. In the midsummer night, people enjoy the cool water by the water in twos and threes … It’s hard to imagine that this place was criticized by the public for its serious water pollution in the past. This change benefited from the comprehensive improvement of the water environment of the Yangtze River.

97% of the surface water in Jiangxi Province flows into the Yangtze River through Jiujiang, and the water area under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang accounts for 17.6% of the total land area, about 4.95 million mu, and the water system resources are very rich. Therefore, for Jiujiang, the Yangtze River should be treated first.

Water environment treatment projects are characterized by long cycle, large capital demand and high investment risk. In view of the first two characteristics, Jiujiang local banking institutions mainly adopt syndicated loans to solve them. In order to reduce investment risks, Jiujiang Branch of the People’s Bank of China took the initiative to "bridge the gap" between banking institutions and the Bureau of Eco-environment, set up a normalized communication mechanism, help banking institutions to find out the governance policies of rivers and lakes in Jiujiang, and set up a green project library covering the protection and restoration of rivers and lakes and wetlands, comprehensive improvement of rural land, ecological restoration of mines, etc., to plan the feasibility of the project in advance and provide convenience for bank loan review.

Considering the complexity of various sub-projects involved in water environment control projects, it is very important to sort out the projects in the early stage of loan. Financial institutions take the initiative to sort out various sub-projects with enterprises when establishing projects, and develop suitable credit products according to local conditions. The reporter learned that in the renovation project of Binjiang section of Jiujiang historical and cultural city, Jiujiang Branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China intervened in advance in the preparatory stage of the project, provided full-process financial counseling, and flexibly applied franchising and pledge of income rights through the customized scheme of "one project, one policy", effectively solving the financing problems of public welfare projects such as ecological restoration, flood control and disaster reduction, and successfully breaking the financing deadlock of Yangtze River shoreline protection projects in the region.

According to the data provided by Jiujiang Branch of the People’s Bank of China, the local financial system has invested a total of 19.37 billion yuan in credit funds to support the water environment management in Jiujiang. Through the combination of engineering water control and ecological management, the pollution reduction rate of Jiujiang city’s pollution indicators into the lake reached more than 80%, and the water quality was greatly improved. Ten sections of Jiujiang Yangtze River have maintained Class II water quality for seven consecutive years, and the excellent rate of water environment national examination sections reached 100%.

Green and low carbon activate new kinetic energy

Boarding from Madang Ferry, pengze county, Jiujiang City, it takes ten minutes to reach Mianchuan Town, Gudao, Jiangxin. As far as the island is concerned, there are large cotton fields and wind turbines standing in the fields. The annual output of 18 "big windmills" can reach 244 million kWh, which is equivalent to saving 96,000 tons of standard coal and reducing 240,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. On May 27th, the project was connected to the grid at full capacity, and the cotton boat became the first "zero carbon island" in the Yangtze River basin to realize large-scale renewable energy power supply.

"No big development" does not mean no development, but a road of high-quality development and green and low-carbon development. This coincides with the concept of green finance. The "Zero Carbon Island" project can not only significantly increase the proportion of clean energy use in pengze county, but also realize ecological optimization through low-carbon application. Therefore, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of pengze county adopts the way of green credit superimposed on agricultural loans, and cooperates with the local Agricultural Bank to extend the loan amount to 600 million yuan, so as to provide all-round financial guarantee for the project construction.

As an old industrial base in Jiangxi, Jiujiang once produced the first match, the first TV set and the first ship in Jiangxi. It can be said that "Made in Jiujiang" is synonymous with Jiangxi industry. In the tide of great protection of the Yangtze River, the survival and development of traditional industrial enterprises have also pushed the transitional finance into the public’s field of vision. In 2023, Jiujiang Branch of the People’s Bank of China selected Hukou County Industrial Park to carry out the pilot project of transitional finance, and formulated the Green and Low-carbon Transitional Service Framework of Hukou County to evaluate the classified management of environmental and social risks of 147 regulated industrial enterprises. Jiujiang Bank innovatively launched the "carbon-efficient loan", which linked the loan pricing with the comprehensive performance of carbon emission reduction of enterprises. By the end of 2024, a total of 535 million yuan of "carbon efficiency loans" had been issued, and the interest rate was more than 1 percentage point lower than that of corporate loans in the same period.

In pengze county’s Jishan Industrial Park, financial support for the transformation of chemical enterprises has also made new progress. In 2024, Bank of Communications Jiujiang Branch approved a syndicated loan of 1.8 billion yuan for Xinlianxin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. on the basis of existing credit, which was used for comprehensive utilization and transformation of cleaner production. It is understood that this coal chemical enterprise along the Yangtze River has achieved ultra-low emissions far below the national standards by continuously optimizing production processes and processes, and has also been awarded the "National Green Factory" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The residual pressure power generation project of methanol low-temperature washing carbon dioxide in this financial support transformation project not only won the double top ten awards of "Best Energy-saving Technology and Best Energy-saving Practice" in China, but also provided reference data and reports for the establishment of transformation financial standards for chemical enterprises in Jiujiang.

Open a new channel for ecological value transformation

Emission rights can not only be traded but also mortgaged. In May this year, Jiujiang’s first mortgage loan for emission rights landed in Jiujiang Bank, with a loan of 4 million yuan, which helped Wuzhou Special Paper Group Co., Ltd. "turn pollution into gold". This financial product innovation benefited from the "pilot trading of emission rights reserve" initiated by Jiujiang City. In the pilot, Jiujiang positioned the emission rights as "the right to use environmental capacity owned by the whole people", which not only adhered to the institutional foundation of public ownership of ecological resources, but also realized the marketization of environmental resources elements through the separation of the right to use, turning "dead indicators" into "living capital" and environmental capacity into a value-added development factor.

With the continuous improvement of Jiujiang’s ecological environment quality, market-oriented operation began to enter the field of ecological resources, and the awareness that "environmental capacity is a scarce resource, and environmental resources are limited, valuable and paid" reached a consensus on a wider level.

Only half a month after the mortgage loan of emission rights was issued, Jiujiang City issued a "double-first-order" syndicated loan linked to biodiversity protection indicators for national manufacturing and foreign-funded enterprises. The syndicated loan was 500 million yuan for three years, and the interest rate was linked to the biodiversity protection objectives of Poyang Lake, namely, the effective protection and management area of Poyang Lake Basin increased by 4,000 hectares, the number of beneficiaries of biodiversity protection education increased by 100,000, and the total nitrogen emission concentration in discharged wastewater was controlled at 1.3mg/L or below. If any two items are achieved, they will be lowered by 3 basis points; If any item is lowered by 2 basis points, the interest rate will remain unchanged if the target is not achieved. According to estimates, if all three objectives are achieved, it will reduce the financing cost for enterprises by about 250,000 yuan per year, which will play a positive role in promoting enterprises’ continuous investment in biodiversity protection.

From the realization of emission rights to linking enterprises’ participation in biodiversity protection with interest rates, it is not difficult to see that in order to realize the value of ecological products and even the value that can be brought in the future, Jiujiang financial system strives to separate quantifiable and tradable objects from abstract ecological values, balance the contradiction between protection and development through risk pricing mechanism, and finally form a positive cycle of "capital inflow-environmental improvement-value promotion". "It is difficult to see the benefits of ecological projects at present, but we hope that with the support of finance, we can become a new economic growth pole in the future." Luo deping, president of ICBC Jiujiang Branch, said.

"The most beautiful coastline" shows a new look

With the in-depth implementation of a series of financial measures to support the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, both the ecological environment of the Yangtze River and the development of industrial enterprises have undergone significant changes. The water is clear, the trees are green, the pollution discharge of enterprises is reduced, and the unit energy consumption is reduced, and the low-carbon environmental protection concept thus set off has a profound impact on Jiujiang’s economic, financial and social development as a "brainstorming".

In March 2024, Wuzhou Special Paper set up a separate energy and environmental protection department within the enterprise, which was responsible for the sewage control of the whole production process. During the interview, the person in charge of the heart-to-heart enterprise told reporters that at this stage, they don’t want the largest scale, but they want to use energy to the extreme and minimize pollution to change the inherent impression of the society on coal chemical enterprises. In fact, they did. Ding Zidan, president of Bank of Communications Jiujiang Branch, said frankly that in the process of cooperation with enterprises, his greatest experience is that banks should judge enterprises not by the industry, but by the enterprises themselves, not only by looking at the statements of enterprises, but also by on-the-spot visits. "Coal chemical industry is a credit-restricted industry. If we simply made loans according to the standards, Bank of Communications would miss this industry leader."

Regarding the transformation of enterprises from "passive emission reduction" to "active efficiency creation", Xiao Jing, president of Jiujiang Bank, believes that this is also an opportunity for banks to set indicators related to energy consumption intensity or environment according to the carbon reduction effect brought by unit loans, so as to better improve financial quality and efficiency and help enterprises achieve a win-win situation of "energy saving and cost reduction" and "low-carbon development". In this regard, Wu Jun also said that the current pilot work of transitional finance is accelerating the "green turn" of high-carbon industries, which will undoubtedly provide more opportunities for financial assistance to the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The People’s Bank of China will also continue to increase policy support and guide financial institutions to help qualified industrial enterprises become bigger and stronger through price leverage, and complete the clearance of backward production capacity, thus achieving another overall upgrade of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

　　Overseas Network July 17th According to a report by Press TV on the 17th, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that the United States is trying to provoke tension and crisis in West Asia through its "Iran-fearing policy".

On April 11th, 2024, Blizzard Entertainment and Netease jointly announced an updated agreement to bring World of Warcraft, Hearthstone and other series of games based on their respective game universes of Warcraft, Watching Pioneer, Diablo and StarCraft back to China.

At this time, it has been more than a year since Blizzard went offline on January 24, 2023. In such a period of time when the e-sports industry is undergoing drastic changes, what is the development of Blizzard e-sports projects without national service participation?

Starcraft ii

On February 13th, 2023, China’s Li Peinan made history at the IEM Katowice Station, becoming the first player in the history of e-sports in China to win the World Championship of StarCraft II.

As an old hardcore e-sports project with a long history, the withdrawal of the national service has not brought much influence to the players and die-hard fans.

Li Peinan participated in WTL2022 Winter Tournament, WTL2023 Summer Tournament and ESL Masters 2023 Winter Tournament: Asia and WTL2023 Winter Tournament after Katowice Station in 2023. Excluding the $150,000 brought by the champion in Katowice, the frequency and bonus of other events are almost the same as that in 2022.

From a global point of view, according to the statistics of Esports Charts, the overseas viewing and total prize pool of StarCraft II e-sports in 2023 has remained at a stable level, showing the tenacious vitality of the old e-sports projects. It is no wonder that the Saudi E-sports World Cup announced early that StarCraft II was selected as one of the official events. The involvement of Saudi Arabia may also inject new development momentum into StarCraft II.

Watch the pioneer (2)

At the end of 2023, two-thirds of the Watch Pioneer League teams voted to terminate the agreement, and the Watch Pioneer League officially announced that it would stop operating.

Such a grand e-sports plan, which was once planned to spread all over major cities in the world and hold large-scale offline activities, rivaled NBA and NFL, once attracted hundreds of millions of funds from investors all over the world, and finally bid farewell to the historical stage, leaving each team with a severance fee of 6 million US dollars.

The peak ratings of the final OWL remained at 157,000, far less than the 397,000 in 2022. After Microsoft completed the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the media reported that Activision Blizzard had fired more than 80% of its e-sports department employees, and the total number of employees in this department is only 12. And the various changes in the development process of Watch Pioneer 2 will not enhance people’s confidence in this project.

The only good news is that the peak ratings of Watch Pioneer World Cup in 2023 can still exceed 300,000, indicating that Watch Pioneer still has a certain audience in the global e-sports market.

After Blizzard decided to watch the Pioneer Championship Series (OWCS) as a tour, EFG, a third-party competition organization supported by Saudi Arabia, will be responsible for EMEA and North America, while WDG will be responsible for South Korea. In the post-Watch Pioneer League era, the grassroots community has regained the space for development.

Hearthstone

Hearthstone legend is an iconic card-type e-sports project. In the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, Hearthstone legend is an e-sports performance project. However, by the Asian Games held in Hangzhou in 2023, Hearthstone legend failed to become an official event.

The official website of Hearthstone Legend published the competition rules of Hearthstone 2023 on January 19th, and wrote in the FAQ under the bulletin board: "Players living in Chinese mainland will not be eligible to participate. After (Blizzard) establishes a new distribution partnership with Chinese mainland, the qualification of (players’ participation) may be reassessed. "

In the global arena, hearthstone legend has also entered a state of total atrophy. After three consecutive years of peak viewing of around 50,000, the bonus in 2023 has shrunk sharply to a quarter of that in 2022. It is no exaggeration to say that Hearthstone professional e-sports has reached the critical moment of life and death.

World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft may be the least "forced e-sports" project under Blizzard.

Thanks to a large number of players all over the world, this MMORPG game with a history of nearly 20 years is becoming the most surprising growth point of Blizzard’s e-sports content.

Whether it’s the first kill, the MDI Dungeon Race, or the hardcore flag-cutting competition, World of Warcraft e-sports developed rapidly in 2023, attracting more and more attention from anchors, clubs and players. According to the statistics of Esports Charts, in 2023, the peak viewing rate of the hardcore service Maggola death match exceeded 300,000, which was six times of the peak data of World of Warcraft in 2022, and it also set a record for the project.

It can be expected that, with numerous China players re-logging into the national costume, the prosperity of overseas World of Warcraft e-sports will inevitably arouse the interest of more players, anchors, clubs and platforms in China.

tag

As a game manufacturer that has had a great influence on the historical development of e-sports, China players have unique feelings for Blizzard.

However, in recent years, the sudden death of storm heroes, castles in the air watching pioneers, and numerous storms before and after the suspension of national service may all affect people’s confidence in Blizzard’s e-sports projects.

The return of the national costume is naturally a good thing for the majority of players. However, how much impact Blizzard e-sports has on the domestic e-sports market needs more observation.

The starting price of the new model M7 is higher than that of the old model because the whole system comes standard with laser radar, which also leads to the failure to achieve a greater breakthrough in the sales of the new model M7. However, this problem will be solved soon, because the new model M7 without lidar is coming.

The new M7 Pro was officially launched on August 26th, with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive power, five-seat and six-seat seating layouts, and a total of four configurations. The price is 249,800-289,800 yuan, and each configuration is 40,000 yuan cheaper than the corresponding configuration of M7 Ultra with laser radar.

The appearance of the new M7 Pro is basically the same as that of the M7 Ultra, that is, the laser radar above the front windshield is cancelled and the HUAWEI ADS basic version scheme is changed, that is, the Huawei intelligent driving scheme based on vision, instead of adopting the intelligent driving scheme of other countries like the previous M7 Plus.

It can be said that the "Huawei flavor" of the M7 Pro in the world is still quite pure.

This basic version of HUAWEI ADS supports high-speed navigation assistance function, AEB automatic emergency braking and intelligent driving function of automatic parking, which can meet the needs of a considerable number of consumers. Moreover, HUAWEI ADS Basic Edition also supports LCC+ function, which can identify traffic lights on urban roads, realize automatic start and stop of traffic lights, and support a certain degree of urban intelligent driving.

However, if you are just a user with urban navigation function and unmanned parking service, you still have to pay for the M7 Ultra with laser radar.

The front face of the new M7 Pro is equipped with a large-area closed grille and a penetrating headlight module. The whole shape is more like a pure electric car, and its rear end is equipped with a penetrating taillight.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5020/1945/1760mm and the wheelbase is 2820mm, which is consistent with the M7 Ultra.

In terms of interior, the new M7 Pro is consistent with the M7 Ultra, equipped with a dual-spoke steering wheel, an embedded 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, a 15.6-inch central control panel, and a HUAWEI SOUND tweeter above the instrument panel.

At the same time, the five-seat version of the new car comes standard with full-vehicle Nappa seats, and the front and rear rows support the functions of seat ventilation, heating and massage, while the six-seat version comes standard with zero-gravity seats.

If you have more requirements for configuration, you can also choose an optional package, including crystal gear handle, main driver’s audio headrest, electric suction door, HUD head-up display system and other configurations.

In terms of power, the new M7 Pro is equipped with a 1.5T range extender of 112kW, the rear drive version is equipped with a 200kW drive motor, the four-wheel drive version is equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive system of 130kW/ 200kW, and the chassis comes standard with CDC adaptive damping suspension.

In terms of battery life, the CLTC pure electric cruising range of the new car is 230km, and the comprehensive cruising range is 1290km, which can be charged from 30% to 80% in 18 minutes.

The editor said:

From the configuration, it is not difficult to see that the new M7 Pro is an M7 Ultra without laser radar. The configuration difference between the two models is that in the intelligent driving experience, Ultra can achieve urban navigation, Pro can only pilot at high speed, while other comfort configurations and power configurations are exactly the same.

The function of the new M7 Pro is to lower the starting price of the M7 to take care of more consumers. After all, not everyone is so eager for urban pilot and intelligent driving, so the M7 Pro can be reduced by 40,000 on the basis of the Ultra version, which really gives enough sincerity. Let’s see if this M7 Pro can take the sales of M7 cars to a new height.
