The scale of cross-border e-commerce transactions has grown rapidly in recent years. In 2013, according to iResearch’s estimation, the transaction volume of cross-border e-commerce in China was about 3.1 trillion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 31.1% from 2008 to 2013, accounting for an increasing proportion of the total import and export trade. At present, China’s cross-border e-commerce trade is still dominated by exports, accounting for more than 80%, but the proportion of import trade is also gradually increasing.

　　Geographically, each region is also developing regional cross-border trade e-commerce. In 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Customs approved Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Zhengzhou as pilot cities for cross-border trade e-commerce. In 2013-14, some cities were successively included in the pilot cities of cross-border trade e-commerce. Cities such as Yiwu and Xiamen have begun to focus on building local cross-border trade e-commerce platforms, logistics platforms and payment platforms. Since 2013, cross-border trade e-commerce in all regions has achieved rapid growth.

　　In the process of e-commerce of traditional cross-border trade, the business in emerging markets has grown very rapidly. In 2013, in China’s export trade, the total export volume of the United States, Japan and Europe accounted for about 39%, while Africa and Latin America accounted for about 4% and 6% respectively. In the field of export e-commerce, statistics from EBAY and Alibaba show that the cross-border trade volume and growth rate of Argentina, Israel, Russia, Brazil and other countries are particularly prominent.

　　China’s annual export trade scale is at the level of 10 trillion RMB, and the market space is huge. In 2013, China’s export trade reached 2.2 trillion US dollars (about 13.6 trillion RMB), and the total import and export trade was about 4.2 trillion US dollars. According to iresearch, in 2013, China’s cross-border e-commerce transaction volume was 3.1 trillion RMB. Massive market demand has brought huge growth space for the development of e-commerce in cross-border trade.

　　From the perspective of subdivided products, most export categories are suitable for expanding e-commerce channel sales.

　　According to the data of the General Administration of Customs in the first half of 2013, more than 50% of China’s export commodities are mechanical and electrical products, and labor-intensive products such as textiles and clothing account for about 20%. Compared with bulk raw materials, consumer goods such as mechanical and electrical products and textiles are less difficult to trade e-commerce. From the perspective of commodity structure, China’s export e-commerce space is also considerable.

　　Today (August 1st), Nanjing held a press conference on the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic, and continued to report the epidemic situation and prevention and control trends. Up to now, more than 26.61 million copies of nucleic acid tests have been carried out by all employees in Nanjing, among which 204 confirmed cases have been found through nucleic acid tests.

　　Yang Dasuo, deputy director of the Nanjing Municipal Health and Health Commission, introduced that the first round of nucleic acid testing for all employees in the city was 9.2336 million, of which 74 cases were confirmed; The second round of large-scale nucleic acid detection was 8.478 million copies, of which 81 cases were confirmed; By 24: 00 on July 31, the third round of large-scale nucleic acid testing had sampled 8.9 million samples, of which 8.76 million samples had been tested. By 24: 00 on July 31, 49 confirmed cases were found.

　　From the source of 204 confirmed cases in Nanjing, there are 93 people in centralized isolation point, 36 people in home isolation, 48 people in key personnel screening, 12 people taking the initiative to seek medical treatment and 15 people in community screening. In terms of regional distribution, it is distributed in 9 districts such as Jiangning District and Lishui District, among which there are 174 cases in Jiangning District, accounting for 85.3%, and 11 cases in Lishui District, accounting for 5.4%, which means that Jiangning District and Lishui District account for 90.7% of the total. According to the analysis, the cases are mainly concentrated in Nanjing Lukou Airport and surrounding areas, and the cases found are mainly from the key groups that were included in the control in the early stage. Most of them were found in the verification of key groups in centralized isolation and home isolation, and there are also a few sporadic cases.

　　According to Yang Dasuo’s analysis, the total number of nucleic acid samples collected by all employees in the city has changed in three rounds, of which the second and third rounds are less than the first round, because some qualified college students left Nanjing for holidays and other reasons. In addition, the number of samples in the second round was significantly lower than that in the first round, and other streets such as Jiangning and Lukou carried out the second round of testing ahead of the whole city, and the relevant sampling numbers were included in the figures of the first round of sampling. At present, there are 12 provincial, municipal and district centers for disease control and prevention in Nanjing, and the city’s single-tube nucleic acid detection capacity has exceeded 700,000 copies per day.

　　On the 17th, the Regulation on the Supervision and Administration of Non-bank Payment Institutions was promulgated, which came into effect on May 1, 2024. This is the first administrative regulation in the field of supervision of non-bank payment institutions, and it is also the first administrative regulation in the financial field issued after the Central Financial Work Conference.

　　Non-bank payment institutions are non-bank institutions that are allowed to handle online payment services, such as Alipay and WeChat payment, which we often use.

　　By the end of September 2023, there were 185 non-bank payment institutions in China. At present, the annual transaction amount of payment institutions has reached nearly 400 trillion yuan, serving over 1 billion individuals and tens of millions of merchants. What impact will this new regulation have on this multi-billion-dollar market? What convenience will it bring to the people?

　　01

　　What are the contents of the regulations?

　　There are 6 chapters and 60 articles in the Regulations, which focus on four aspects, including defining non-bank payment institutions and establishing licenses, improving payment business rules, protecting users’ legitimate rights and interests, and clarifying regulatory responsibilities and legal responsibilities.

　　The "Regulations" focus on giving play to the important role of the non-bank payment industry in helping the development of the real economy and improving people’s livelihood; Strengthen the guidance on the functional orientation and development of payment institutions, guide payment institutions to adhere to the purpose of small amount and convenience, focus on the main business, improve services, and better meet the payment and settlement needs of users; Strengthen user orientation and greatly enhance the protection of user rights and interests; Form a stronger mechanism guarantee in comprehensively strengthening supervision, preventing and resolving risks.

　　The person in charge of the Payment and Clearing Association told reporters that from this perspective, the Regulations are the "basic law" for the healthy and sustainable development of non-bank payment services.

　　02

　　What are the problems in the payment industry? What are the new regulations?

　　At present, China’s mobile payment ranks at the leading level in the world, effectively helping the development of the real economy and improving people’s livelihood.

　　At the same time, however, some payment institutions also operate in violation of regulations, such as: illegally misappropriating user funds, revealing or improperly collecting and using user information; Individual payment institutions take risks and provide funds transfer channels for illegal and criminal activities such as telecommunication network fraud and cross-border gambling.

　　In view of these problems, one of the key contents of the Regulations is to greatly strengthen the protection of users’ rights and interests. On the one hand, it is clear that payment institutions shall not misappropriate, occupy or borrow customers’ reserve funds, and shall not forge or alter payment instructions. At the same time, regarding the protection of users’ rights and interests, which consumers are generally concerned about, the Regulations not only require payment institutions to respect the legitimate rights and interests such as users’ right to choose independently and the right to know, but also disclose relevant information to users in a timely manner; It also requires payment institutions to take measures to ensure the safety of users’ personal information and prevent users’ information from being leaked or abused, which gives consumers a "reassurance" and allows them to use all kinds of network and mobile payment services more safely.

　　03

　　Strict entry threshold and increase punishment

　　The "Regulations" clearly adhere to licensed operation and strictly enter the threshold. Payment institutions must implement access management in accordance with the principle of "license before license", clarify the access conditions of payment institutions such as registered capital, major shareholders, actual controllers and senior management personnel, and also implement license management for major changes, and at the same time establish and improve the normalized exit mechanism of serious illegal institutions.

　　In addition, the "Regulations" clearly stipulate that penalties for serious violations of laws and regulations will be increased according to law.

　　04

　　How to punish? Who will punish?

　　The Regulations clarify that the People’s Bank of China may impose fines on relevant payment institutions, restrict some payment businesses or order them to suspend business for rectification, even revoke their payment business licenses. At the same time, it is clear that the directors, supervisors, senior executives and other personnel who are directly responsible can be punished according to specific circumstances, and if the circumstances are serious, measures can be taken to ban them from entering the market.

　　05

　　What do payment institutions think?

　　This new payment regulation involves both head payment institutions and small and medium-sized payment institutions, including representatives of private and foreign payment institutions.

　　What impact will the implementation of the new regulations have on the industry? Alipay, WeChat and other related business leaders have voiced their voices. All payment institutions said that the Regulations will help the non-bank payment industry to further standardize the healthy development and make positive contributions to the development of the real economy and the improvement of people’s livelihood.

　　one

　　Alipay: It is conducive to the standardized and orderly development of the payment industry

　　The relevant person in charge of Alipay said that the implementation of the Regulations laid a foundation for healthy competition and standardized and healthy development for the future development of payment institutions. Through this management regulation, the full chain and full cycle supervision of payment institutions is further strengthened, which is conducive to preventing risks in the payment industry. At the same time, under the role of standardization, the payment industry will usher in further standardized and orderly development, which is also conducive to the long-term development of the physical industry.

　　2

　　Tenpay: The payment industry has fundamental regulations.

　　Tenpay said that the promulgation of the Regulations, on the one hand, has improved the legal level of supervision of payment institutions, from the original departmental regulations to administrative regulations, which indicates that the payment industry has fundamental regulations, which is conducive to strengthening industry supervision, improving supervision efficiency and establishing supervision authority; On the other hand, it conforms to the development trend of the payment service market, which lays a solid foundation for standardizing the compliance operation of payment institutions and points out the way for the high-quality development of payment services.

　　three

　　Paypal payment: payment institutions can operate more legally and regularly.

　　The promulgation and implementation of this regulation is conducive to the establishment of long-term stable expectations of all parties in the industry, and the payment institutions can operate more legally and standardize, thus ensuring the healthy and sustainable development of the payment industry. Strict access to payment institutions is one of the important measures to ensure the development of the payment industry. The regulations have further improved and optimized the conditions and standards for the access of payment institutions, making them more scientific and standardized. This measure will help to improve the strength and service quality of the whole industry and provide more secure and reliable payment services for users and businesses.

　　four

　　Union easy treasure: the industry expects to escort the high-quality development of the payment industry.

　　With the rapid development of the payment industry, some problems are gradually exposed, and risk events such as business alienation, misappropriation of funds and data leakage occur from time to time. Some institutions use payment platforms to engage in illegal fund-raising and telecommunication network fraud, which damages the image and reputation of the industry, disrupts the financial order and infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of financial consumers. The contradiction that the existing payment supervision system is low in level, limited in legal effect and unable to fully adapt to market norms and development needs is increasingly prominent. It can be expected that the "Regulations" will strengthen the full chain and full cycle supervision of the non-bank payment industry, which is conducive to giving full play to the role of the law in safeguarding the industry, stabilizing expectations and benefiting the long term, and empowering and escorting the high-quality development of the payment industry.

　　The flu vaccine has started! Children’s influenza can be vaccinated from June to 3 years old, and adults’ influenza can be vaccinated over 3 years old.

　　Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus, which can cause large-scale epidemic. It is mainly spread through droplets in the air, contact between people or contact with contaminated items. It has the characteristics of high incidence, rapid spread, ineffective antibiotic treatment and susceptibility of all people. But influenza can be prevented, and influenza vaccination is the most effective prevention method at present.

　　1. What’s the difference between the flu and the common cold?

　　The difference between flu and common cold.

　　2. What are the benefits of influenza vaccination for different groups of people?

　　Early vaccination, early prevention, and no hesitation.

　　3. When will the flu vaccine be vaccinated?

　　Winter and spring are the flu epidemic seasons every year, and the best time to get the flu vaccine is before the start of the flu season every year. Therefore, generally, autumn and winter are the best golden period for flu vaccination to ensure immune protection before the flu season (it usually takes two to four weeks to produce effective immunity after getting the flu vaccine). Early vaccination, early prevention.

　　4. I was vaccinated against influenza last year. Is it necessary to get vaccinated once a year?

　　You can’t be "immune for life" after being vaccinated with influenza vaccine. In fact, the influenza virus strains that are popular every year are different from those in previous years, and the immunity acquired by people after influenza vaccination will also decay over time. The antibody level produced in the body does not always remain the same after vaccination. The antibody level in the body begins to decline after 6-8 months, and there is no protective effect after one year. Therefore, it is necessary to vaccinate the flu vaccine once a year.

　　5. What are the possible reactions to vaccination?

　　Low-grade fever may occur after influenza vaccination, and there will be slight redness and swelling at the injection site, but these are temporary phenomena and the incidence rate is very low, and usually no special treatment is needed. However, a few people will have repeated high fever, dyspnea, hoarseness, wheezing, urticaria, pallor, weakness, tachycardia and dizziness, so they should seek medical attention immediately.

　　6. What are the suitable people for influenza vaccine?

　　Infants aged 6-35 months;

　　Older people over 60 years old;

　　Chronic patients and the infirm;

　　Staff of medical and health institutions, especially front-line staff;

　　Pupils and kindergarten children;

　　Staff of nursing homes, nursing institutions for the elderly and nurseries;

　　Employees in the service industry, especially taxi drivers, civil aviation, railway and bus drivers, commercial and tourism service employees, etc.;

　　People who travel frequently and go abroad; People in important jobs, etc.

　　People and voluntary vaccinators who want to reduce the possibility of influenza for any reason.

　　7. Precautions for influenza vaccination

　　Precautions:

　　(1) The interval between influenza vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine or other vaccines should be 2 weeks or 4 weeks (according to the specific situation of vaccination).

　　(2) Those who are allergic to the ingredients contained in the vaccine should not be vaccinated.

　　(3) Those who have been vaccinated with this vaccine in the past and have had serious adverse reactions should not be vaccinated.

　　(4) People suffering from acute diseases, serious chronic diseases, acute attack of chronic diseases, colds and fever should not be vaccinated.

　　(5) Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy and other progressive nervous system diseases should not be vaccinated if they have a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome.

　　8、Time and place of vaccination in Yunnan Maternal and Child Health Hospital

　　Vaccination time:

　　Monday to Friday: 08: 00 a.m.-11: 30 a.m. (Adult routine vaccine can be inoculated at the same time in the morning).

　　14: 00-16: 30 pm (no vaccination on the afternoon of the last day of the month)

　　Saturday and Sunday at 8: 00 & mdash; half past three p.m.

　　How much pension can I get in the future? This is a problem that every pension insurance participant is concerned about. For a long time, people only know how much money they have paid, but rarely can they figure out how much money they will get in the future and whether the endowment insurance they have paid is worth it. Recently, the national social insurance public service platform was officially launched, and the insured can finally calculate how much pension they can receive in the future!

　　Want to calculate your own pension? Difficult!

　　How much does the employee pension insurance have to pay every month? The easiest way is to look at the deduction amount of endowment insurance on your salary slip, which is clear at a glance.

　　Old-age insurance is divided into two types: residents’ old-age insurance and employees’ old-age insurance. At present, employees’ old-age insurance is more concerned. In fact, there is a clear calculation method for pension benefits, but this calculation method is extremely complicated. For example, the pension insurance benefits for employees in Beijing are as follows:

　　After July 1, 1998, the basic pension consists of basic pension and personal account pension, and before June 30, 1998, the basic pension consists of basic pension, personal account pension and transitional pension.

　　Worked before June 30, 1998, pension composition:

　　Basic pension

　　Based on the average of the average monthly salary of employees in this city in the last year when the insured retires and the average monthly payment salary of himself, 1% will be paid for each full year according to the insured’s full payment period.

　　Transitional pension

　　The sum of the monthly transitional pension calculated according to the deemed payment period and the monthly transitional pension calculated according to the actual payment period.

　　Personal account pension

　　The accumulated storage amount of the insured’s personal account is divided by the number of months specified by the state. Different retirement ages correspond to different months. The Monthly Table of Personal Account Pension of Basic Old-age Insurance for Employees in Urban Enterprises can be easily found on the Internet.

　　The sum of the above three parts is the amount of pension that retirees can receive.

　　If you calculate according to the formula, it can be said that it is very frustrating. As a result, many people are trying to search for a "one-click generation" calculator on the Internet to calculate how much pension they can receive in the future.

　　However, although the calculation formula is ready-made, the amount of pension is closely related to the insured’s salary, average social salary, interest rate and other factors. These factors are variables, and it is impossible to accurately calculate the amount of pension under unpredictable circumstances.

　　Therefore, most of what can be searched online is only calculators for the amount of payment, and it is difficult to find calculators that can predict pension benefits.

　　give an example

　　The estimated benefits far outweigh the payment.

　　Suppose Wang, female, is currently 35 years old and has accumulated payment years of 11 years. Her "deemed payment period" is 0. Wang’s salary level fluctuates at twice the social average salary. For the convenience of calculation, let’s assume that her "previous annual average contribution wage index" is 2; Her "personal account deposit at the end of last year" was 107,519 yuan. The "average monthly salary of employees on the job last year" in Beijing, where she participated in the insurance, was 7855 yuan (the average salary of employees in full-caliber urban units in 2018). The assumption of "the average wage growth rate of employees in the future" is 8%, and the "future personal account bookkeeping rate" is also assumed to be 8%. "This year’s payment salary" is 20,761 yuan, and the future payment salary growth rate is also assumed to be 8%.

　　Through the calculator, the result shows that Wang will retire in 2039, and his basic pension is about 32,885 yuan, including 19,379 yuan for basic pension, 13,506 yuan for personal account pension and 0 yuan for transitional pension. In this way, Wang’s future pension is expected to exceed 30,000 yuan. Compared with the old-age insurance premiums paid before, the benefits are definitely far greater than the pay.

　　Many people will be surprised: "Can you get a pension of more than 30,000 yuan in the future? Will it be that high? " It should be noted that the simulation calculation here is the pension level after 20 years, and the future income situation cannot be felt by the current level of economic development. Just like 20 years ago, people’s wages were generally only a few hundred yuan, but now they have reached several thousand yuan. It is a truth that the original income can no longer be measured by the current economic level.

　　In addition, it should be emphasized that the calculation formula of pension involves many variables, which are only calculated under the simulation hypothesis of many variables and cannot truly reflect the future pension level of the insured. The actual amount shall be calculated by the local social security agency at the time of retirement.

　　operate

　　The official platform predicts that pensions will be divided into ten steps.

　　At present, the national social insurance public service platform can provide services such as social security annual enrollment information inquiry, treatment qualification authentication, pension calculation, social security relationship transfer inquiry, medical treatment inquiry in different places, overseas exemption application, social security card and electronic social security card status inquiry. Among these functions, pension calculation is very eye-catching. Although the platform provides a calculator, many people are still confused about the information that needs to be filled in.

　　The reporter logged into the platform and experienced it.

　　Click to enter the page of calculating the pension insurance benefits for urban workers. First, you must choose the type of insurance. This option includes "employees of urban enterprises" and "individual industrial and commercial households or flexible employees". Because most of the insured persons are insured through enterprises, here is an example of "employees of urban enterprises".

　　1 Fill in basic information such as gender and age. In the "estimated retirement age", the average male is 60 years old, the female cadre is 55 years old and the female worker is 50 years old.

　　2 determine the payment period. The column of "actual payment years" refers to the accumulated years of actual payment of social security. You can check your own payment information over the years, which is clearly recorded. The "deemed payment period" is very special. "The deemed payment period" refers to the continuous working time calculated according to the state regulations before the actual payment period of all the working years of employees. To put it bluntly, although you haven’t worked or paid the old-age insurance for some years, the old-age insurance will be considered as paid, and these years will be counted in your payment period to give you a pension.

　　According to the time when individual accounts of endowment insurance are established in different places, the starting time of deemed payment period is also different. Most of them were in the early 1990s, and those who worked before that had deemed payment period. Nowadays, young and middle-aged workers generally don’t involve the deemed payment period. Just fill in zero for this option.

　　3 determine the payment wage index. The "previous annual average payment wage index" is the most troublesome. The annual average payment wage index refers to the average payment wage index of social co-ordinators participating in endowment insurance over the years. It is based on the payment declared by the insured every year, and the salary is divided by the average salary of the local employees in the previous year, and the payment wage index of the year of payment is obtained. This is calculated once a year, and the annual payment wage index is added, and then divided by the actual payment period. Simply understood, the payment wage index means that the salary of the insured is several times that of the social security. Average the multiple of each year, and it is the annual average payment wage index.

　　4. Inquire about the amount of personal account storage at the end of last year. "The amount of personal account storage at the end of last year" is the sum of the personal account part and interest of the previous pension insurance, and most people will not remember how much money there is. You can check your own social security payment information over the years, which is clearly recorded (you can log on to the international social insurance public service platform or the Beijing social insurance online service platform).

　　5. Determine the average monthly salary of employees on the insured ground in the previous year. The "average monthly salary of employees on the insured ground in the previous year" will be announced by the social security department every year, and you can search and query it.

　　6. Forecast the future increase of social wage. "The average wage growth rate of employees in the future" is to fill in an estimated future growth rate of social wages, which is difficult to estimate. Looking up the average wage growth rate of employees released by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Statistics in recent years, we can find that this figure varies from high to low, reaching nearly 18% at high and just over 4% at low. So you can choose according to your personal prediction.

　　7 estimate the future personal account bookkeeping interest rate. The bookkeeping interest rate of personal account refers to the interest generated by the accumulated storage amount of personal account of endowment insurance. This bookkeeping interest rate should be determined with reference to the local average wage growth rate of employees in the previous year, the bank’s resident time deposit interest rate, the actual income from the operation of the endowment insurance fund and other factors. For example, the bookkeeping interest rate in 2016 was 8.31%, and the bookkeeping interest rate in 2017 was 7.12%.

　　8. Inquire about my payment salary this year. You can check your social security payment information.

　　9 forecast the growth rate of future payment wages. Insured personnel can estimate how much their annual salary will increase in the future.

　　Yongding, Fujian, May 30 (Huang Qiuping Tang Yuzhou Li Changliu) As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, villagers in Hongkeng Village, Hukeng Town, yongding county, Longyan City, Fujian Province are busy hanging mugwort leaves, kudzu vines and making zongzi.

　　Dragon Boat Festival is the annual "Zongzi Festival" and "May Festival" of the Hakkas, and it is one of the three major festivals of the Hakkas in a year. In the local Dragon Boat Festival, besides traditional customs such as making zongzi and dragon boat racing, there are also local folk customs.

　　Yongding county has a long history of Hakka culture. Hakka people generally call the Dragon Boat Festival "May Festival". Before sunrise on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, almost every Hakka household sweeps the courtyard, and puts kudzu vine, calamus and mugwort leaves in the lintel and hangs them in the hall to avoid evil spirits.

　　"Our Hakka people’s custom of Dragon Boat Festival is to hang mugwort and kudzu vine, mainly to pray for peace and smoothness. mugwort and kudzu vine have the function of expelling poison and evil spirits, and more importantly, they have the function of expelling poison and avoiding plague, which is of medical and scientific value to our current traditional medicine." Lin Rigeng, a villager from Hongkeng Village, Hukeng Town, yongding county, said.

　　Hakkas also have the custom of wearing sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival, especially when children wear sachets to ward off evil spirits and plague. The sachets contain cinnabar, wormwood, etc., which are wrapped in red cloth and are fragrant. They are woven into ropes with colorful ropes and made into various shapes, forming a string, which is exquisite and eye-catching.

　　Lin Jia’s grandmother in Hongkeng Village, Hukeng Town insists on making sachets for her grandchildren and little grandchildren every year, so that they can wear them on the Dragon Boat Festival. According to Lin Apo, although there are many sachets on the market now, she feels that it is more thoughtful to make them by herself. She will sew the blessings into the sachets one by one, hoping to bring peace and happiness to the children. (End)

Originally, as early as 2023, nanqiao town promoted group-based renovation work in rural areas with demand and conditions within the town, and effectively improved the living quality of rural villagers. The 15 households on the west side of the Five-Star Eight Group in Jianghai Village were the first group repair projects in the town, which were first completed in June 2024. Now, 15 villagers have been renovated and moved in one after another, expecting to move into a brand-new home before the Spring Festival, and the whole family will have a reunion dinner and enjoy a comfortable and comfortable modern pastoral life.

On the afternoon of the New Year, the warm sunshine fell on the homestead of five-star eight groups in Jianghai Village. White exterior walls, black tiles, supplemented by blue bricks and log elements, a row of newly renovated residential foundations with unified design is quite eye-catching in the village, and it also forms a strong contrast with a row of old residential foundations on the east side of the road. If you look closer, you can also find that there is a large parking area in the north of each house base, and the relatively independent courtyard of each family is divided by low walls and hedges in the south. In front of the courtyard, a flat waterfront trail and a hydrophilic platform were newly added. At this time, the old people who have already stayed in the "new house" are basking in the sun, waiting for the night to fall, and their descendants will return to the homestead to have a reunion dinner.

When it comes to the new look of the homestead, the villagers are all smiles. Because of this renovation, their living environment has been significantly improved, and even the younger generation is willing to go back to the old homestead for dinner every day. After 1995, Hong Jiaxuan simply regarded the old homestead as her new wedding house. She told reporters, "In the past, there was no air conditioning and natural gas in the countryside. It was cold in winter and hot in summer, and then cooking could only burn the stove. Now I have it all. My parents and I live directly in the countryside. The family lives quite comfortably and feels happier than living in a commercial house. "

As early as last September, He Shuizhang showed his new house to reporters. In the spacious living room of the new house, the furniture and TV cabinets were fully arranged, and the small yard in the south was also well-made by Lao He, which was quite warm. "It’s different from the previous days, and it feels better than the commercial housing in the town!" Csi said with a smile.

Living next door to He Shuizhang is his younger brother He Shuilong, who also moved in early in the second half of last year. According to Lao He’s recollection, most of the houses in the Red Star Group 8 were built in the 1970s, among which the two brothers are the oldest, with 45 years of mud walls and dilapidated houses. "Our houses are more than 40 years old. The house I built at the age of 21 is now 68 years old. Now it is much cleaner than before and we live more comfortably."

Hong Yuehua, who hasn’t moved into a new house, will come here for a walk every day to talk with his neighbors about his family, and his feelings of looking forward to staying are beyond words. "We used to be mud walls and mud boards. When we touched our hands, the mud would fall off. Everyone wanted to rebuild it. It happened that there was this project in the village, so we were all very satisfied!" Hong Yuehua said with emotion: "Now the sanitation has improved, the living conditions have improved, and the younger generation is willing to go back to the countryside. My grandchildren want to live in the countryside, saying that the air in the countryside is good, the sun is abundant, and the houses are well built. They all want to have a reunion year in the new house."

According to Gu Chunfeng, secretary of the Party branch of Jianghai Village, Wuxing Eight Groups, located on the south side of Nanting Highway and the east side of Shagang, are old houses built in the village for a long time. Over the years, many villagers have reported problems such as dilapidated houses, settlement and cracking, and they have a high voice for house repair. However, considering that Wuxing Eight Groups are the residential bases built in a row, there is no corresponding repair policy and opportunity. Just the year before last, Fengxian District issued a policy of repairing related groups, and the opportunity came. After several design demonstrations and summarizing villagers’ opinions, nanqiao town started the group repair work of 15 villagers.

"Our main purpose is to completely solve the problem of improving the living quality of houses that the people most expect through this group repair, and at the same time, it will also help the style of rural houses. Moreover, the biggest environmental sanitation difficulty in the village is the dilapidated foundation of houses. Renovation is also a cure." Gu Chunfeng said that after the renovation, nine families have moved in, three families are being renovated, and the rest plan to move in this year. The living quality of ordinary people has improved, and the style of rural houses has become better. It has also played a leading and exemplary role in the village. Next, the renovation project of more than a dozen households on the east side of the road is already in progress.

In fact, at present, there are two mature groups in the town of nanqiao town, namely, five-star eight groups in Jianghai Village and three groups in Guangming Village, and a total of 49 villagers are promoting the renovation work. According to Tao Longwang, deputy director of nanqiao town Urban Construction Center, the houses in nanqiao town are basically houses built in the 1970s and 1980s, and the houses have reached a certain age. However, due to the restrictions of previous planning and control and the current housing policy, it is more difficult for villagers to rebuild the houses sporadically. "If we concentrate on renovation, on the one hand, we can fight for the rights and interests of the people, and the price can be relatively cheaper. On the other hand, because it is a group renovation, we can also organize the houses as a whole. He said that next, when all the conditions are ripe, nanqiao town will continue to promote the group renovation work, effectively improve the living quality of rural villagers, enhance the level of rural revitalization, and create a new style of water town in the south of the Yangtze River that is "homesick and visible to development".

　　To study the third volume of The Supreme Leader’s Talks on Governing the Country and Politics, and to understand and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, it is very important to systematically grasp the Marxist standpoint and methods contained in it, deeply grasp and consciously use the scientific thinking methods and working methods that run through it, strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two maintenances", and constantly enhance the principle, systematicness, foresight and creativity of the work.

　　It contains a distinct Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method.

　　The 19 topics included in the third volume of The Supreme Leader’s Talks on Governing the Country vividly record the great practice and theoretical innovation of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, focusing on the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in the past century, and contain rich Marxist thinking methods and working methods. These thinking methods and working methods are not only world outlook and methodology, but also epistemology and axiology. They are closely related, interlocking and complementary, and they are a complete and systematic scientific methodology system.

　　The standpoint axiology of people first. Adhering to the value pursuit of people first is the fundamental political position of communist party people, the fundamental starting point and foothold of all our party’s actions, and the fundamental symbol that distinguishes our party from all other political parties. Throughout the book, the concept of adhering to the people-centered governance runs through, fully demonstrating the profound people’s feelings and firm people’s stand.

　　Dialectical epistemology of seeking truth from facts. Seeking truth from facts is the fundamental viewpoint of Marxism, the fundamental requirement for the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to understand and transform the world, the basic thinking method, working method and leading method of the Party, and the important magic weapon for the Party to lead the people to continuously win the revolution, construction and reform in China. Throughout the book, there is a realistic attitude to study and solve problems from reality, which fully embodies the scientific attitude of adhering to the principle of integrating theory with practice to formulate and form the correct line, principles and policies to guide the development of practice, and the work style of seeking truth and being pragmatic.

　　Materialist dialectical thinking methodology. Materialist dialectics is the basic method for us to observe the world, judge the situation and understand problems. Throughout the book, the methodology of observing things, analyzing problems and solving problems objectively rather than subjectively, developing rather than statically, comprehensively rather than unilaterally, systematically rather than piecemeal, universally linked rather than isolated is permeated, which vividly embodies the basic requirements of materialist dialectics in grasping the law of development of things in the process of unity of opposites between contradictory parties.

　　The working methodology of the mass line. The mass line is the concrete application of Marxist epistemology and historical materialism in our party’s practical work, the concentrated expression of Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method, and the fundamental working line that runs through the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. The book always runs through all the fundamental working methods of serving the masses, relying on the masses, coming from the masses and going to the masses, which fully embodies the consistency of epistemology and dialectics on the basis of practice and the basic principle of historical materialism that the masses are the main body of history and the real creators of history.

　　Adhere to the scientific world outlook methodology and consciously transform the subjective world

　　Marxist philosophy, namely dialectical materialism and historical materialism, embodies the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method, profoundly reveals the general law of the objective world, especially the development of human society, is a scientific world outlook and methodology, and provides us with a powerful ideological weapon to understand and transform the world. An important aspect for leading cadres at all levels to learn and master Marxism is to learn Marxist philosophy, accept the nourishment of Marxist philosophical wisdom, master the scientific world outlook and methodology, and strengthen the "four self-confidences" on the basis of grasping objective laws.

　　Systematically grasp and consciously use the Marxist scientific thinking method throughout the book. Only theoretical sobriety can lead to political sobriety, and only theoretical firmness can lead to political firmness. Our leading cadres should correctly judge the situation, keep a clear head in the face of complicated situation changes, strengthen their ideals and beliefs, scientifically analyze the opportunities and challenges faced by China’s development, and comprehensively look at the mainstream and tributaries, contradictions and problems on the road ahead, all of which can not be separated from the guidance of Marxist philosophy and the thinking methods of dialectical materialism and historical materialism. As long as we deeply understand and master dialectical materialism and historical materialism, we can deeply realize that the realization of communism is a long historical process gradually achieved by one stage goal, and that Socialism with Chinese characteristics has logical and historical inevitability, and we can also unify the lofty ideal of communism with Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s common ideal, with what we are doing, and strengthen our road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence.

　　Systematically grasp and consciously apply the Marxist historical materialism throughout the book. Historical materialism scientifically reveals the objective law of the development of human society, and by learning this scientific world outlook and methodology of understanding and studying social and historical development, we can strengthen the backbone of our ideals, build a ballast stone of our beliefs, and maintain a strong strategic strength. Both history and reality show that only by adhering to historical materialism can we constantly raise our understanding of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s laws to a new level and constantly open up a new realm for the development of Marxism in contemporary China. Party member cadres should thoroughly study and grasp the basic principles and methodology of historical materialism, such as the viewpoint that social existence determines social consciousness, the analysis of basic social contradictions, the viewpoint that material production is the foundation of social life, and the viewpoint that the people are the creators of history. Through in-depth study and conscious application, we can deeply grasp the profound truth of "two necessities" and "two never", and deeply understand why capitalism has not completely disappeared so far, why socialism still has twists and turns like the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, and why communism foreseen by Marxism still needs a long historical development to be realized, so that we can strengthen Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence.

　　Systematically grasp and consciously use Marxist historical thinking throughout the book. To establish a correct view of history, we must adhere to the historical materialism, observe the world and look at history from the perspective of development; It is necessary to remember history and learn from the past. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed the importance of studying history and mastering historical thinking methods. These important expositions of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary on history are vivid embodiment and creative application of Marxist historical materialism, and provide scientific methods and basic follow-up for us to correctly observe history and learn from the past. As long as we deeply understand the history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, and the history of socialist development, we can deepen our understanding of communist party’s ruling law, the law of socialist construction, and the law of human social development. We can also deeply understand that Chinese traditional culture is the crystallization of the Chinese nation’s 5,000-year-old civilization and wisdom, and we can also deeply understand the historical inevitability of history and people’s choice of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Marxism, socialism and reform and opening up, and strengthen their road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence.

　　With the attitude of unity of knowing and doing, we can truly learn, understand and practice.

　　Knowledge is the foundation, the premise, and action is the key. We must promote action by knowledge and action, so as to achieve the unity of knowledge and action. Problems are the voice of the times and the starting point of practice. Every era always has its own problems. As long as we adhere to the Marxist world outlook and methodology, scientifically understand, accurately grasp and correctly solve these problems, we can continuously push our society forward.

　　To adhere to the practical theory of unity of knowing and doing, we must adhere to the viewpoint of practice first. Practical viewpoint is the primary and basic viewpoint of Marxist philosophy. To master scientific thinking methods and working methods, it is necessary to deeply understand the distinct problem consciousness in the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. The Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era persists in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, proceeding from reality, analyzing specific problems, and making strategic thinking, strategic planning and strategic arrangements for Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Scientifically answered a series of basic questions such as the general goal, general task, overall layout, strategic layout and development direction, development mode, development motivation, strategic steps, external conditions, political guarantee, etc., made theoretical analysis and practical requirements for all aspects of work, involving reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and managing the party, country and army, and drew a strategic road map for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream by the socialist modernization power and the Chinese nation. This grand blueprint was drawn according to the practical experience and requirements in Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great practice, and it must be realized in the unremitting great struggle and continuous struggle. It is in the historic practice of leading the people to create great historical achievements that our Party, along the scientific road map, leads the ship carrying the great dreams of the people of China to sail ahead through the waves and sail triumphantly to the glorious other shore, constantly realizing the unity of facts and values, reality and ideals, and what is and should be.

　　The key to adhering to the practical theory of unity of knowledge and action lies in implementation. "Only by grasping hard can we overcome difficulties, and only by doing hard can our dreams come true", and paying attention to doing hard work is the distinctive style of the Party Central Committee governing the country with the supreme leader as the core. To grasp the implementation, we must have the tenacity of "insisting that the castle peak will not relax" and the tenacity of not giving up until the goal is reached, and truly implement all the work and achieve practical results. This requires leading cadres at all levels to have strategic determination, that is, they can base themselves on the overall situation, focus on the long-term, grasp the key points, grasp the essence and general trend, and maintain strategic self-confidence, will and perseverance in order to achieve strategic intentions and strategic goals. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a glorious and arduous undertaking, which needs the joint efforts of Chinese from generation to generation. Empty talk about wrong country, hard work and prosperity. Leading cadres at all levels should carry forward the spirit of nailing nails, adhere to a blueprint to the end, adhere to "one point for deployment and nine points for implementation", roll up their sleeves and work hard, do not toss and turn, earnestly implement their work, and make achievements that can stand the test of practice, people and history.

　　To adhere to the practical theory of unity of knowledge and action, we must promote social revolution through self-revolution. Adhering to the practical theory of "unity of knowing and doing" means releasing the moral power of understanding the pursuit of Marxist values and the truth power of revealing laws in the great practice of benefiting mankind. Learn to understand and do it, and the foothold is doing it. At present, the majority of cadres in party member, especially young and middle-aged cadres, should strengthen their theoretical cultivation, strengthen their ideals and beliefs in learning truth, keep in mind their initial mission in learning and thinking, constantly cultivate themselves in meticulous practice, and take the initiative to act in the unity of knowing and doing. We should transform the objective world in the process of constantly transforming the subjective world, dare to face problems and correct mistakes with the spirit of self-revolution, promote social revolution through continuous self-revolution, adhere to the unity of knowing and doing, and be a doer. We should carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance our fighting skills, take the initiative to participate in all kinds of struggles, dare to show our swords in the face of right and wrong, dare to face difficulties in the face of contradictions and conflicts, dare to stand up in the face of crisis and difficulties, dare to fight resolutely in the face of bad style, be a warrior who dares to fight and is good at fighting, let the initial heart pass on from generation to generation, shoulder the mission forever, and earnestly strive for the first place in the Chinese dream process of realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

On July 23rd, local time on July 21st, Arm’s first 32-bit microprocessor Plastic based on flexible plastics was published in the top academic journal Nature.

PlasticARM consists of 56340 NMOS(N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistors and resistors. PlasticARM adopts thin film transistor (TFT), which can be bent to a radius of curvature of 3 mm..

This microprocessor is manufactured by PragmatIC, a British flexible IC manufacturer invested by Arm. It adopts FlexLogIC 200mm wafer process, and the chip process is 0.8μm, which has the potential of low-cost mass production.

In the past 20 years, there have been low-cost flexible solutions for memory, sensors, batteries and light-emitting diodes. However, as for microprocessors, people can only integrate the silicon-based microprocessor die on the flexible substrate, thus obtaining a flexible microprocessor. However, this scheme needs to adopt the traditional chip manufacturing process, and the cost is too high, which is far from meeting the requirements of intelligent daily necessities.

According to the paper, PlasticARM does not want to replace the traditional silicon-based chip, but it can really make daily necessities such as beverage bottles, food packaging, clothing, bandages and wearable devices intelligent.

▲ Mike Muller, CTO of ARM at that time, was showing samples of plastic chips.

Based on this, as early as 2015, Arm revealed the research and development plan of the system on a plastic chip (SoC) based on Cortex M0. On November 24th, at Arm TechCon, Mike Muller, then CTO of ARM, showed samples of plastic chips. He also hinted that this design can be applied to low-power application scenarios such as the Internet of Things.

During the event, Mike Muller had a telephone conversation with Scott White, CEO of PragmatIC. But PragmatIC was still busy developing an analog component library at that time, and its timetable was not clear.

Time has passed today, and the flexible plastic microprocessor that has been running for 6 years has finally been officially published. Does this mean that the pace of the fully intelligent era is approaching?

PlasticARM is manufactured in its fab-in-a-box wafer factory in Sedgefield, England, using the 0.8μm process of PragmatIC.

According to the researchers, PlasticARM has more than 18,000 logic gates, which is 12 times higher than the previous flexible integrated circuit, and it is by far the most complex flexible integrated circuit. On the basis of Plastic, people can build a low-cost, flexible intelligent integrated system and realize the real "Internet of Everything".

PlasticARM is not perfect either. It is reported that Arm is developing a low-power unit library, which can support plastic design of up to 100,000 doors to solve the heat dissipation problem of flexible plastics. However, practical NMOS technology may not be able to realize the migration of 100,000 gates, and CMOS technology is needed, which may take several years.

Nevertheless, researchers predict that in the next decade, PlasticARM will integrate more than 1 trillion products into the digital world, bringing reform opportunities for life, scientific research, business and other dimensions.

Compared with the commonly used metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), Arm adopts thin film transistor (TFT), which has obvious advantages in thickness, integration and manufacturing cost.

In the manufacturing process, the researchers chose flexible electronics manufacturing technology, which is also known as the naturally flexible processing engine. The metal oxide thin film transistor manufactured by this technology has low cost and the size also meets the requirements of large-scale integration.

▲ flexible Arm Cortex-M SoC with I/O.

It is worth mentioning that PlasticARM is more universal than the recently released flexible machine learning hardware, and also supports a rich instruction set, which can be used to write various applications such as machine learning.

PlasticARM is mainly divided into three levels, namely 32-bit CPU；; 32-bit processor including CPU and CPU peripherals; And a system-on-a-chip (SoC) including a processor, a memory and a bus interface, namely a PlasticARM.

Its CPU is Arm Cortex-M CPU supporting Armv6-M architecture. Different from Cortex-M0+,in order to save CPU area, the registers of Cortex-M CPU are placed in RAM. Moreover, the two CPUs are binary compatible with each other, and are also compatible with other CPUs in the same architecture series.

Because the SoC is compatible with Arm Cortex-M processors, it can be equipped with existing software/tools without building a new software tool ecosystem.

The processor consists of a CPU and an embedded vector interrupt controller (NVIC) closely coupled with the CPU, which is used to handle interrupts from external devices.

In addition to the 32-bit processor, SoC also has memory (ROM/RAM), AHB-LITE interconnection structure, logic interface, bus interface and other parts.

▲ PlasticARM structure (left) and comparison with two CPU models (right)

With the advent of Plastic, wearable devices, electronic skin, etc. will usher in new development opportunities. Although its manufacturing process is lower than that of silicon-based chips, Plastic’s characteristics of low cost, low power consumption and using existing software tools may become a good opportunity for many industries to break through.

Although PlasticARM has not been commercialized, looking forward to the future era of "Everything is Smart", today will be an important node.
