　　CCTV News:In 2018, North Korea put forward a new strategy of concentrating all its efforts to develop the economy. In all aspects of social economy and people’s lives, some changes are quietly taking place. Not long ago, our CCTV reporter visited Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory.

　　Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory is located in Pingchuan District, the scenic center of Pyongyang. The factory was founded in 1962, and three generations of North Korean leaders have visited and inspected it many times. The famous "Yinheshui" brand cosmetics in North Korea are produced by this factory.

　　Jin Xian, general manager of Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory, told CCTV reporter that although it has a history of nearly 60 years, the product line has been continuously enriched and the factory has developed rapidly in recent years. Just before 2015, the products of the factory were still relatively single, and only toothpaste, soap and some basic cosmetics could be produced. After continuous expansion, the factory has a number of production lines, which can produce more than 15 million cosmetics, 10 million cosmetic tools and more than 2,000 tons of soaps every year. Since 2018, seven production lines have been running almost non-stop. All products from raw materials to outer packaging use Korean domestic products and no longer rely on imports.

　　 It is worth mentioning that the "Yinheshui" brand male cosmetics developed and produced by the factory have recently become popular in North Korea, and North Korean men have begun to love beauty.

　　Kang Minxin, Director of Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory Research InstituteRecently, we have launched a men’s cosmetic set, which can be sold as a souvenir set or separately according to customer’s needs. After customers use this male cosmetic, their skin will become smoother and more elastic.

　　"Yinheshui" brand cosmetics are mainly "pure natural", and the factory claims that the raw materials contain ginseng and animal and plant extracts, which are safe and reliable without side effects. The price of a bottle of "Yinhe Water" brand emulsion is about RMB 30 yuan, which is affordable for ordinary working-class people in North Korea and is a best-selling commodity in major stores. Vendors from Russia, Iran, Australia and other countries also expressed their intention to cooperate with the factory.

　　BEIJING, May 19 (Chen Caixia) From 19th to 21st local time, the leaders of the Group of Seven gathered in Hiroshima. Here, they will discuss issues such as the Ukrainian crisis, global energy and AI.

　　However, before the summit was held, the protests of "No G7" and "No war accomplice" were endless. Japan, the host of this time, wants to use the opportunity of hosting the G7 summit to bring in "private goods" and put pressure on China and Russia.

　　Is it a political meeting or a political performance? The summit revealed multiple intentions.

　　Intention 1:

　　Japan wants to be "the leader of East Asia"

　　As we all know, Hiroshima was the place where the atomic bomb exploded during World War II. From the location of the G7 summit, we can see the "small abacus" played by Japan.

　　Time magazine pointed out that Japan, the host country, hopes to use "the tragic history of this city to convince the most powerful democratic countries in the world." Only when they unite can they cope with the so-called "threats from Russia, China and North Korea".

　　But Japan seems to forget that the country that dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries, was the United States.

　　Japan hopes to take this G7 summit to enhance its regional dominant position, show the international community that Japan has deepened its "Indo-Pacific concept" and demonstrated its sense of international existence, and at the same time, echo and cooperate with the "Indo-Pacific strategy" of the Biden administration of the United States again, and its purpose is obvious.

　　This time, in addition to the original "small circle" of G7 — — Japan, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Canada and Italy, as the rotating presidency this year, Japan has also brought in eight "foreign aid" venues, including South Korea, Australia, India and Brazil.

　　During a series of diplomatic tours at the beginning of the year, Kishida constantly played up the "China threat" and the situation in East Asia with the leaders of G7 and other countries. He repeatedly stressed that Japan is worried about the current regional security situation and even openly threatened that "East Asia will become the next Ukraine".

　　Kishida declared that Japan will become the "leader" of the East Asian order. He also stressed that Japan should continuously deepen its interaction with the United States and NATO, and will fundamentally strengthen its "defense capability."

　　Intention 2:

　　Manipulate nuclear issues

　　According to the Kyodo News Agency, the first day of the G7 summit will publish an outcome document related to nuclear disarmament. Among them, we will take the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) as the basis of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, strengthen the nuclear non-proliferation regime, and create momentum for the "nuclear-weapon-free world" advocated by Kishida.

　　The analysis points out that Japan, while claiming to send a peaceful message of abolishing nuclear weapons to the world through the G7 summit, plays the role of a pawn of the United States and tries its best to seek "nuclear sharing" with the United States to achieve "national security", which shows Japan’s contradictory psychology.

　　In addition, the summit also announced that "Russia’s nuclear threat" was listed as an issue. In this regard, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zacharova said that this practice is against common sense.

　　"This is Hiroshima. Imagine that the bottomless line of the United States meets the sad and absurd decision of the Japanese organizer, which is shocking."

　　Zacharova mentioned at a news conference that there is documentary evidence that the United States had planned to launch nuclear strikes against other Japanese cities besides Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

　　In recent years, Japanese right-wing politicians have been manipulating the nuclear issue, trying to push Japanese society to gradually abandon the tradition of nuclear taboo, regard the possession of nuclear weapons as a "normal" national security need, regard the deployment of nuclear weapons as a reasonable arrangement, and finally regard the development of nuclear weapons as a "natural" choice.

　　"The direction of them (Japan) is very clear, and Japan is moving towards becoming a nuclear-armed country within five years." Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in an interview with The Economist in April that Japan has always "wanted to be close" to the United States.

　　Intention 3:

　　America’s wishful thinking

　　Earlier, it was speculated that Biden might cancel the G7 trip because the United States was facing a debt default crisis. However, he left behind the domestic "mess" and arrived in Hiroshima on Air Force One the day before the G7 summit.

　　According to the analysis, Biden will release the signal to the outside world at the G7 summit — — The United States can not only guarantee its strategic interests in the Ukrainian crisis, but also continue to build a "United front facing China" in the Asia-Pacific region.

　　Although the United States tried to "suppress" China with both fists in terms of security and economy, in the face of a series of domestic banking crises, debt ceiling disputes and even political violence, Biden had to announce that he would shorten his trip to Asia and cancel his scheduled visit to Australia and Papua New Guinea after the G7 summit.

　　The New York Times published an analysis article on 17th, saying that Biden’s shortening of overseas trip was "a manifestation that domestic politics in the United States undermined foreign policy, and it happened at a critical moment and in a key region".

　　Reuters also mentioned that Biden’s shortening of the Asian guild will hurt the credibility of the United States in the region.

　　Protests are everywhere.

　　G7 gangs harm others and harm themselves.

　　The G7 summit looks huge, but in fact, the differences and differences among member countries are becoming more and more obvious. French President Macron once said that Europe must reduce its dependence on the United States, resist pressure and stop being America’s "follower".

　　According to the analysis, with the economic strength and influence changing, it is impossible for G7 to dominate the world. If the G7 continues to stir up regional tensions and engage in factional confrontation, it will go against the wishes of most countries and will only harm others and yourself in the end.

　　In the past few days, the Japanese people have held many rallies in Hiroshima. They held various slogans and shouted slogans such as "Don’t be an accomplice in the war" and condemned the G7 summit for "military alliance" under the banner of "freedom and democracy".

　　There are also some Japanese people who say that the G7 summit will not bring peace, but will only bring deeper disasters to the world. If Japan keeps expanding its army, making military preparations and even seeking to possess nuclear weapons, it will only make Japan swallow the consequences of war again. (End)

　　China Youth Network, Beijing, May 29th (Reporter Wu Zhangyong, trainee reporter Wei Linyi) In a foreign country filled with bullets and smoke, there are such a group of China soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice and contribute their youth and strength to the cause of peacekeeping with their steel bodies; Outside the thousands of miles where the disease is raging and the turmoil is rampant, they have made selfless efforts and devoted their sincerity and strength to protecting the peace of the region with their exquisite business; On the African continent, which is destitute of goods and materials, they are not afraid of difficulties and dangers, and rely on superb technology to build bridges and roads to guard peace and beauty … … They won the recognition of the people in the host country with their tough style, and they exchanged endless honors for the people of China with their proud achievements. They are the officers and men of chinese peacekeepers.

　　May 29th is the 14th International Peacekeepers’ Day and the 26th year of China’s participation in peacekeeping. In the past 26 years, China’s peacekeeping officers and soldiers have established a peacekeeping image praised by the world, and China’s peacekeeping cause has developed in depth and achieved a historical leap. Today, under the new international peacekeeping situation, China’s peacekeeping officers and men have actively responded to the concept of "building a community of human destiny" put forward by Chairman Supreme Leader, and promoted the new situation of peacekeeping in China with practical actions.

　　Twenty-six years of youth cast peacekeeping "China brand"

　　It has been 26 years since China first sent observers to participate in peacekeeping operations in 1990.

　　In the past 26 years, no matter in the Congo (DRC) where the disease is rampant or in Mali where the war is raging; Regardless of whether it is extremely hot in Sudan or dangerous in Lebanon, chinese peacekeepers has always adhered to the concept of "mission is above everything else, responsibility is more important than Mount Tai", overcame various difficulties with tenacious fighting spirit, and created a well-known "China brand" for peacekeeping.

　　"Strict discipline, no offense in autumn" is the core of peacekeeping "China brand".

　　According to the statistics of the Peacekeeping Affairs Office of the Ministry of National Defense, as of May 2015, the China Army has sent a total of 30,178 peacekeepers, and 10 of them have given their lives to maintain international peace and security. Since participating in peacekeeping operations, China peacekeepers have maintained the record of "zero violation of discipline" and "zero repatriation".

　　"Pursuing Excellence and Striving for First Class" is the goal of peacekeeping "China Brand".

　　In Mali, the highest temperature in the dry season is nearly 50 degrees Celsius, and China peacekeepers built a secondary hospital in less than four months; In Wau, South chinese peacekeepers, the officers and men of built the 3 km road from the peacekeeping camp to the airport into the best road in the war zone in just three days. In Congo (DRC), a Uruguayan peacekeeper wrote the following sentence on the back of his badge: "If I am injured, please take me to China Hospital".

　　It is understood that up to now, chinese peacekeepers has built and repaired more than 11,000 kilometers of roads and more than 300 bridges, cleared more than 9,400 mines and various unexploded ordnance, transported 1.1 million tons of various materials and equipment, transported a total mileage of 12 million kilometers, treated more than 149,000 patients, and completed more than 450 mobile patrols and more than 230 alert escort missions.

　　"Love the people, help the people and spread friendship" is the responsibility of peacekeeping "China brand".

　　"I love Congo, I love China". In the immature children’s voices, the children in the SOS Children’s Village in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo happily welcomed the arrival of the 19th batch of China peacekeeping troops in Democratic Republic of Congo. Peacekeepers brought stationery, clothing and cultural and sports supplies, and specially brought snacks made by themselves. In 2005, officers and men of China peacekeeping troops in the Democratic Republic of the Congo teamed up with SOS Children’s Village in Bukavu to build aid. Even though China’s peacekeeping medical team in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has gone through more than a dozen rotations, the love relay continues all the time.

　　In the Marigao area, peacekeepers from other countries often send iced soda and fruit to China peacekeepers. In South China, the elderly old chief Rabbi specially sent four old hens to see off the Pakistani peacekeepers who are about to return to China; In many mission areas, local people will say that they don’t know the English on the uniforms of peacekeepers, but they know that "these soldiers with five-star red flags on their armbands are good people."

How to calculate the yield of Yu ‘ebao?

　　Yu ‘ebao is a popular investment and financial management method at present. Many people invest in Yu ‘ebao but don’t know it.How to calculate the income of Yu ‘ebao?The premise of calculating the income of Yu ‘ebao is to check the yield of Yu ‘ebao. According to different yields of Yu ‘ebao, you can calculate your Yu ‘ebao income according to the formula "Yu ‘ebao income = (your actual capital × income per 10,000 shares) ÷10000, or Yu ‘ebao income = income per 10,000 shares × your actual capital".

　　Since Alipay, the largest third payment platform in China, launched a balance appreciation service in June 2013, Yu ‘ebao has been highly concerned by people who like financial management. There are rumors that there is a bubble period of funds in the country this year, so Alipay has opened this value-added service, so that more people can deposit their money in Yu ‘ebao, and then everyone’s money will be gathered together and then invested. In the process of this investment, the income generated will be calculated according to a certain proportion of your principal, and the interest will be converted. Is Yu ‘ebao’s income really as good as it says? How to calculate the yield of Yu ‘ebao?

　　Calculation method of Yu ‘ebao’s income: seven-day total income /10000 (based on ten thousand yuan) * seven-day annualized rate of return per ten thousand copies = income (income/day).

　　For example, the total income of seven days is 200 yuan /10000*2.056% (every ten thousand income announced by the fund company on that day) =0.009 yuan (income on that day).

　　Calculation rules of Yu ‘ebao’s income:

　　Step 1: You must have an Alipay (or Yu ‘ebao) account. Transfer the deposit in Alipay to Yu ‘ebao.

　　Step 2: After the funds are transferred to Yu ‘ebao before 15 o’clock on the same day, it needs to be confirmed by the fund company for one day (not confirmed on weekends and national legal holidays).

　　Step 3: The fund company is internally divided by Yu ‘ebao, which mainly collects the funds of all users of Yu ‘ebao and then invests them.

　　Step 4: The daily income per 10,000 shares is announced by the fund company. Its origin is that the fund company invests your principal, and then the income of that day accounts for the proportion of the principal. For example, if you invest 10,000 yuan and the income is 100 yuan, then the yield is 1% (100/10,000 = 1%).

　　Check the seven-day annualized rate of return per 10,000 copies of "Yu ‘ebao" (this is the rate of return launched by Yu ‘ebao). Baidu searches for "Yu ‘ebao" and clicks on the link of Yu ‘ebao.

　　Step 5: Enter the balance treasure income broadcast page, which is the platform of "seven-day annualized rate of return per 10,000 shares" specially announced by fund companies. (The annual rate of return of Yu ‘ebao is the proportion of the income of seven days to the whole year. If the rate of return changes every seven days, your income will also change with it.

Postscript

　　I believe everyone knows how to calculate the yield of Yu ‘ebao, right? Compared with ordinary bank deposits, the interest rate is much higher, but at the same time there are certain risks, so Xiaobian suggests that you can spread the amount when managing money to ensure the maximum income and the highest security. For more questions about Yu ‘ebao, Xiaobian recommended it in related reading, hoping to bring help to netizens.

　

The original literature and history Jun Haoran’s literature and history is included in the topic # Late Qing Dynasty 28# China Modern History 37.

Tongzhi

Historians often describe Tongzhi Emperor as a "doormat" controlled by Cixi. At the same time, the death of Emperor Tongzhi is also a hot topic in academic circles and workshops, and the explosive words like brothel and syphilis are also popular among the people. Today, Wen Shijun will take a look at the life of Emperor Tongzhi with you.

First, Zai Chun’s early establishment and Xinyou coup

Emperor Tongzhi, namely Aisingiorro Zai Chun, is the eldest son of Emperor Xianfeng and the biological son of Cixi. Before Tongzhi ascended the throne, that is, in the eleventh year of Xianfeng (1861), in the Xinyou year of the lunar calendar, there was a coup in the palace-Xinyou coup, also known as Qixiang coup.

Tongzhi

The word "Qi Xiang" was originally promised by Zai Chun, and it was taken from "Don’t dry up, don’t be a child, give birth to Qi Xiang" in The History of Song Dynasty. Later, after the successful coup, the title of "Tongzhi" was changed.

In July of this year, when Xianfeng was dying, he decided to make Zai Chun the Crown Prince. Because the emperor was worried that his son was young, he appointed eight people, including Su Shun and Duan Hua, to assist the young master in government affairs, which was known as "Eight Ministers of Gu Ming" in history.

Xianfeng

However, Xianfeng’s decision shook the conservative political forces headed by Yi. Yi joined forces with Empress Dowager Cixi and Ci ‘an, who also had political ambitions, and successfully launched a coup in September. Eight ministers demoted and killed, and the palace almost became the world of a three-person group.

In winter, the Empress Dowager Ci ‘an and Empress Cixi changed the title to Tongzhi, and the Tongzhi emperor officially ascended the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Tongzhi, taking the meaning of "Tongzhi" in the Spring and Autumn Annals, symbolizes the Manchu people’s willingness to cooperate with the Han monarch and ministers and rule the country together. Of course, this title also follows the title of Shunzhi of the first emperor. The Empress Dowager of the Imperial Palace formally listened to the government in hall of mental cultivation. Until the emperor grew up, no matter how big or small, he had to listen to the queen mother of the two palaces.

Cixi and Ci ‘an controlled the state affairs.

Second, listening to politics and the change of Zai Chun’s thought.

The Empress Dowager of the two palaces listened to politics, and the young emperor was also happy to be at leisure and set his mind at ease to study in the Hongde Hall, which was taught by Qi Junzao and others. If this goes on, the Tongzhi emperor will study hard with his heart, and the old lady will carefully assist his ministers. This should have been a scene of blind date.

Tongzhi emperor’s juvenile pen practice map

However, the operation of power often does not follow the routine. Soon, Cixi overwhelmed Yi and Ci ‘an in the power struggle, and the three-person group became "one arbitrary family". Cixi cultivated her pro-Party and restricted the emperor’s power. When the emperor grew up, he found that he was not like that at all. The contradiction between mother and son just surfaced.

Cixi in film and television dramas

But Cixi was in full swing, and Zai Chun couldn’t help it, if not taste. In the eighth year of Tongzhi (1869), the Qing court began to prepare for the big wedding for the emperor, and Cixi decreed that the ceremony should be "frugal".

At that time, Zai Chun was 14 years old, and both Shunzhi and Kangxi were married at this age. The emperor is young and has his own interests. But the queen mother’s decision is obviously that she doesn’t want Zai Chun to "contact her in-laws" too early. He was afraid that the emperor would have other support, which would hinder him from listening to politics.

Young tongzhi emperor

Three years later, in the draft of Qing Palace, both Empresses had their own fancy. On the surface, it is to choose a concubine for the emperor. In private, the tide is surging and competing with each other. Never thought, Tongzhi emperor didn’t like Fucha arranged by his mother, but liked Arute recommended by Empress Dowager Ci ‘an. Tongzhi is probably deliberately angry with Cixi. The emperor is young and energetic. He has long had a contradiction with his mother and hates his mother. Naturally, he hates his house and his house.

This made Cixi quite unhappy and finally decided to suppress the emperor and the imperial concubine. There is often a saying in unofficial history that Arute was persecuted to death by Cixi, which is actually how it came about.

Arute in film and television dramas

In the first month of the 12th year of Tongzhi (1873), the Empress Dowager of the two palaces allowed Tongzhi to take charge of her own affairs. Tongzhi was 18 years old this year, which was the quiet period of Qing diplomacy. The Taiping Rebellion was initially put down in China, and the Westernization Movement was in full swing. The emperor also has a heart of struggle. This period is called "Tongzhi Zhongxing".

Originally, in this good time, the Tongzhi emperor should make great efforts, but in October of the following year, it was suddenly reported that the emperor was ill in the palace, and the memorial was still to be approved by the Queen Mother of the two palaces. On the fifth day of December, Emperor Tongzhi died in hall of mental cultivation at the age of 19. The Tongzhi emperor, who had just ruled the country and was full of ambitions and practiced, died so hastily.

Tongzhi died

Third, the mystery of tongzhi’s death

How did Emperor Tongzhi die? The academic and anecdotal versions are different. There is a saying from the Diary of Weng Tonghe that Tongzhi got "pox" and died of smallpox.

But people don’t believe this version. Because the emperor began to have a sick body in October and died suddenly in December, this time of more than one month did not conform to the death law of "pox disease". Therefore, unofficial history speculated that Tongzhi was "going to get sick". This "sexual disease" is syphilis.

Tongzhi

Which version should we believe?

Let’s talk about pox first. According to the record in Weng Tonghe’s Diary, the emperor began to stay in bed in November, and was diagnosed by the physician Li Deli as suffering from smallpox. At the beginning of the month, the emperor had symptoms of "no appetite" and "sore throat and nausea". Later, after eating duck porridge, Radix Scrophulariae, cicada clothing and honeysuckle, "the sore throat was reduced".

In the middle of the month, Weng Tonghe was able to meet the emperor personally. He described Tongzhi as "lying out, flowers are extremely dense", which means that the emperor has acne all over his body. After two days, I saw that the emperor became "powerful in voice and full in grouting", which seemed to be the stage for the human body to fight smallpox virus, and the emperor seemed to be getting better.

Cixi visits the sick

In fact, the emperor did not recover from illness. It is precisely because the acne granules are full but delayed, and those who do not get acne are unclear. By the beginning of December, the emperor became "haggard and hot in his chest." When the physician uncovered the ointment and squeezed pus, he found that "the pus was half-filled and purple under the waist." It wasn’t long before the emperor died.

This is Weng Tonghe’s record of Tongzhi Emperor’s illness, which is very detailed and clear.

Weng Tonghe in Film and Television Plays

However, according to unofficial history’s Legacy of the Qing Palace, "Tongzhi went to the place where prostitutes worked, causing syphilis". Emperor, why do you sleep in flowers and willow trees? Unofficial history said that it was the emperor who was afraid of the majesty of Cixi and felt that the palace was boring, so he "went out and indulged in prostitution". What’s even more amazing is that the emperor also specially looked for some "prostitutes in the city", that is, those "wild sellers" who couldn’t get on the table. Xiao Yishan, a famous historian of Qing Dynasty, has repeatedly emphasized that Tongzhi Emperor died of syphilis, which is widely circulated among the people. Considering the emperor’s special hobbies, it seems that it is not impossible.

However, in recent years, a large number of Qing Palace archives have been published, which provides some new materials for people to explore these issues. For example, the archives of the Qing Dynasty, Long live the book of drugs for smallpox, recorded all the diagnosis and medication records since the illness of Emperor Tongzhi. Comparing these records with Weng Tonghe’s diary, the records of the illness are relatively consistent. Scholars in the Palace Museum also consulted relevant Chinese medicine experts on this file, and the conclusion was that they died of smallpox, and the experts also gave a specific course of disease: smallpox (pox rash) was the initial stage of the disease; The middle stage of the disease is "carbuncle after acne" caused by the virus of acne rash; The later stage of the disease is "toothache" caused by the residual poison of acne rash; Finally, he died of toxic heat invagination.

Tongzhi is in brothel.

Therefore, from the current research, it seems that the Tongzhi emperor is more likely to die of smallpox. As for the statement of syphilis, it may be related to the special hobby of Tongzhi and the people’s rebellious psychology towards the "big man" in folk communication.

Wen Shijun said

Empress Dowager Cixi was too harsh, which made Tongzhi develop a rebellious and withdrawn character. It is said that the eunuch in the palace secretly opened a small door for him at the edge of the Forbidden City to please the young master. Tongzhi went out of the city through a small door, and three or two attendants walked close to him. It would be a great loss of decency if someone saw the emperor prostitute himself. However, it is an indisputable fact that Tongzhi has this hobby. Yi and other ministers have warned the Queen Mother many times, which is recorded in the history books. The emperor had to avoid the minister’s eyes and vent his desire in a remote place where no one cares. Indulgence, plus the place to go is not an "insurance" place. Therefore, the probability of the emperor being infected with prostitution is not small. But in the end, he got sick and died. According to the analysis of medical records, smallpox is more likely.

At the beginning of the Asian market on Wednesday (July 13th), the US dollar traded around 108.17, and the Euro hovered around parity. The energy crisis will lead to the fear of economic recession, and the economic outlook will be bleak or make the Euro lower than parity against the US dollar. Affected by the strength of the US dollar, the global COVID-19 blockade curbed demand. On Tuesday, oil prices fell by more than 7%, falling below the 100 mark to a minimum of 95 US dollars/barrel. OPEC predicted that global oil demand would rise in 2023, but the speed was slower than that in 2022.

In terms of commodity closing,Brent crude oil futures fell by 7.1%, and the settlement price was reported at $99.49 per barrel, the lowest since April 11th, while US crude oil futures fell by 7.9% to $95.84, also the lowest in three months. American gold futures fell 0.4% to settle at $1,724.8.

Looking ahead on Wednesday

At 16: 00, the IEA released the monthly crude oil market report, at 22: 00, the Bank of Canada announced the interest rate decision, and at 23: 00, the Governor of the Bank of Canada Mackler held a press conference on monetary policy.

List of major global markets

U.s. stocks closed lower on Tuesday, and more and more signs of economic recession made buyers leave before the inflation data was released. Earlier in the session, the three major stock indexes fluctuated slightly up and down, but later fell sharply. The consumer price report of the Ministry of Labor will be released on Wednesday, and the big banks will announce their financial results later this week.

Brent Schutte, chief investment officer of Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company, said, "(Investors) are waiting for the consumer price index (CPI) and corporate profits. For several months, the market has been sawing between inflation concerns and economic recession concerns almost every day. Investors are really confused, and they choose not to buy at all, "Schutte added." I haven’t heard many people say’ buy at a low price’. "

Although the CPI report is expected to show that inflation will continue to climb in June, excluding the unstable core CPI of food and energy prices, it is expected to further confirm that inflation has peaked, which may persuade the Fed to slow down its policy tightening plan in the autumn.

Paul Kim, CEO of Simplify ETFs, predicted that the year-on-year increase of CPI will reach the high end of the range of "8%-9%", and may even enter the range of 9%. With inflation so high, the Fed has only one idea.

People are worried that the Fed’s aggressive measures to control inflation, which has been at a high level for decades, may push the economy to the brink of recession. The inversion degree of the yield curve of two-year /10-year US bonds has reached the largest level since at least March 2010, which is a potential signal of recent risks and economic contraction, which aggravates concerns. The market expects the Fed to raise the key federal funds target rate by 75 basis points at the end of the policy meeting in July, which will be the third consecutive rate hike by the Fed.

The second quarter earnings season will kick off later this week, when JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and Wells Fargo will announce their results. According to Luft data, as of last Friday, analysts expect the profits of companies in the S&P 500 index to increase by 5.7% year-on-year, lower than the 6.8% predicted at the beginning of this quarter.

precious metal

The price of gold hit a nine-month low on Tuesday, affected by the strong dollar and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike bet, while investors prepared for a series of US economic data that may determine the pace of monetary policy tightening. Daniel Pavilonis, senior market strategist at RJO Futures, said: "Gold is under pressure from [investors] buying dollars in large quantities and the expectation of higher interest rates as inflation continues."

A series of American data, including consumer prices, retail sales and factory output, will provide clues about how much inflation has soared before the Fed’s policy meeting next week. Han Tan, chief market analyst of Exinity, said: "If the overall consumer price index (CPI) is higher than expected on Wednesday, it should pave the way for the Fed to raise interest rates by 75 basis points again later this month; This situation is widely considered to be unfavorable to gold. "

crude oil

Brent crude oil plunged $7 on Tuesday, closing below $100 a barrel for the first time in three months, affected by the strength of the US dollar, the global COVID-19 blockade to curb demand, and the growing concern about the global economic slowdown. In the previous month, trading in the oil market fluctuated, and investors were already selling oil positions, fearing that radical interest rate hikes to stop inflation would lead to economic downturn, thus reducing oil demand.

According to american petroleum institute (API) data, US crude oil and refined oil inventories increased last week. In the week ending July 8, crude oil inventories increased by about 4.8 million barrels, gasoline inventories increased by 3 million barrels, and distillate inventories increased by about 3.3 million barrels.

Rebecca Babin, a senior energy trader in the US Private Wealth Department of Canadian Imperial Commercial Bank (CIBC), said: "I think it is quite critical to hold on to $95 a barrel just psychologically."

Dennis Kissler, senior vice president in charge of trading at BOK Financial, said: "As consumer sentiment is still in the doldrums and the epidemic is rebounding, oil prices are under tremendous pressure."

Fatih Birol, director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), said that any price cap on Russian oil should include refined products.

In its first forecast for next year, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said that global oil demand is expected to rise in 2023, but the speed is slower than that in 2022. It is estimated that the demand will increase by 2.7 million barrels per day in 2023. However, there is very little idle capacity within OPEC, and most oil-producing countries use all the capacity. The us energy information administration (EIA) predicts that US crude oil production and gasoline demand will increase this year.

foreign exchange

The US dollar index fell 0.07% on Tuesday, hitting an intraday high of 108.5673. The euro rebounded against the dollar on Tuesday, after falling to a 20-year low and close to parity, as investors worried that the energy crisis in the region would trigger an economic recession. The euro fell to $1.00005 against the US dollar, the lowest since December 2002, after data showed that German investors’ confidence plummeted in July, which was lower than the level at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Mazen Issa, senior foreign exchange strategist at TD Securities, said: "It seems that the prospect of the euro is very bleak. It is also very possible to fall below parity," adding that the euro may fall to 85-90 cents.

Issa pointed out that the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates more than the European Central Bank, and macro factors including Europe’s rapidly deteriorating current account have put pressure on the euro. The dollar benefits from the expectation that the Federal Reserve has more room to raise interest rates than other central banks, while other central banks face more challenging growth prospects.

Since the annual maintenance of Beixi No.1 pipeline, the largest single pipeline for transporting Russian natural gas to Germany, began on Monday, fears that Europe may fall into recession have increased. Governments, markets and companies are all worried that the pipeline shutdown time may be extended due to the war in Ukraine.

The euro traded at $1.0045, after rebounding from the $1 area, which some analysts attributed to technical factors related to options activities and short covering.

Neil Jones, head of currency sales at Mizuho Bank, said that the market has been "shorting" the euro, and it is expected that the euro will fall below parity, but "it has not reached that level", which led these investors to buy back the euro. Part of the reason for the rebound may also be related to the fact that the $1 area is an important psychological barrier.

Marc Chandler, chief market strategist of global foreign exchange at Bannockburn, said: "Parity is more like a psychological level than an important technical point. The important technical point is to drop to perhaps $0.96 or $0.98 as a more important technical level. "

One catalyst that may push the euro back is the high-profile US inflation data on Wednesday, which is expected to show that the US consumer price index rose by 8.8% in June.

Simon Harvey, director of foreign exchange at Monex Europe, said: "We may have to wait for the CPI in the United States, or when the maintenance plan of Beixi No.1 is coming to an end, there will be a clearer situation in the European energy market so that the euro can break through the (parity) threshold against the US dollar."

Baldin, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, said on Tuesday that the Fed is expected to succeed in the fight against inflation, but the pace of progress is unpredictable.

The Australian dollar rebounded from a two-year low caused by global growth concerns caused by the epidemic. The Australian dollar rose by 0.36% in late trading to 0.6761 US dollars, which had previously fallen to 0.6712 US dollars, the lowest since June 2020. The dollar fell 0.47% against the yen to 136.78, hitting 137.73 on Monday, the strongest level in 24 years.

The United States has set off a fierce wave of "great resignation"

In the first five months of this year, about 20 million Americans resigned, setting off a wave of "big resignations". But according to a recent survey, many people are now rather regretful. According to a study of more than 15,000 job seekers in the past three months by Joblist, an artificial intelligence job search platform, more than a quarter of the resignees are rethinking whether their choices are correct. The surge in resignations is related to many factors, including workplace risks during the epidemic, new opportunities created by working from home, and the general belief that Americans are rethinking their careers in the midst of the epidemic turmoil. The number of people who resigned this year is about twice that of ten years ago.

In June, most regional Federal Reserve Banks in the United States agreed to raise the discount rate by 50 basis points.

OPEC predicts that the global oil demand growth will slow down to 2.7 million barrels per day in 2023, and the supply will continue to be tight.

In a monthly report on Tuesday, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries said it expected demand to increase by 2.7 million barrels per day, or 2.7%, in 2023. It keeps its growth forecast for this year unchanged at 3.36 million barrels per day. Oil consumption has rebounded from the downturn caused by the epidemic in 2020, and this year will exceed the level in 2019. The outlook for 2023 shows that supply pressure may persist, and the growth of non-OPEC output is expected to lag behind the growth of demand due to the loss of production in Russia.

OPEC’s demand forecast for 2023 is more optimistic than that of another closely watched forecasting agency, the International Energy Agency (IEA), and also more optimistic than the preliminary opinion of OPEC representatives, who believe that high oil prices will greatly slow down demand growth. OPEC said that the forecast for 2023 is based on the assumption that the war in Ukraine will not escalate and risks such as inflation will not have a serious impact on global economic growth.

OPEC maintains its global economic growth forecast at 3.5% this year, and predicts that the growth in 2023 will be 3.2%, adding that the uncertainty is downward and the upward potential is "quite limited".

Japanese media: dollar dominance may become a new risk in the world economy

According to a recent report in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the appreciation of the US dollar will aggravate inflation in emerging market countries and push up the slowdown risk of the world economy. According to the report, the appreciation of the US dollar is conducive to curbing inflation for the United States, but the dollar alone will affect the world economy plagued by high resource prices. Most global trade transactions are settled in US dollars, and the appreciation of the US dollar will lead to a decline in the purchasing power of other currencies and aggravate inflation in various countries. In countries lacking resources, higher resource prices will lead to a widening trade deficit and easily aggravate the depreciation of their currencies. At the same time, the devaluation of emerging market countries will lead to an increase in the repayment burden of dollar-denominated debts.

　　"This breakthrough was made in the context of the complicated and severe external environment and the slowdown of global trade and investment, as well as in epidemic prevention materials and ‘ Home economy ’ Pre-production ‘ One-time pulling factor ’ It is not easy to get it in the case of fading. " On July 13th, Lv Daliang, spokesman of the General Administration of Customs and director of the Statistics and Analysis Department, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that the World Trade Organization predicted that the global trade volume of goods would increase by 1.7% this year, which was significantly lower than the average of 2.6% in the past 12 years. Trade slowdown is a common challenge faced by all economies, and the difficulties are more global. Compared with the surrounding economies with published data, China’s foreign trade still shows strong resilience, and its competitive advantage is stable and consolidated.

　　This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative and the full entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP). The great development potential released by China’s further opening up is highly anticipated.

　　Wei Song, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of International Studies of Beijing Foreign Studies University, said in an interview with People’s Daily that the national trade and RCEP along the "Belt and Road" came into full effect and continued to help China’s foreign trade stabilize its scale, optimize its structure and expand its market, as shown in the following aspects:

　　First, the scale of foreign trade continued to expand. In the past 10 years, the proportion of China’s imports and exports to countries along the Belt and Road has increased from 25% in 2013 to 32.9% in 2022 in China. Meanwhile, in the past 10 years, the trade between China and ASEAN has grown at an average annual rate of 9.9%, which is faster than the overall average annual growth rate of China’s foreign trade by 4.3 percentage points, and ASEAN has jumped from the third largest trading partner of China to the largest trading partner. After the entry into force of RCEP, many favorable policies, such as tariff reduction and exemption, cumulative rules of origin, have been implemented, and the economic and trade exchanges between China and ASEAN have become closer.

　　Second, the foreign trade structure has been continuously optimized. In 2022, China exported 4.44 trillion yuan of intermediate products to countries along the "Belt and Road", an increase of 23.9%, accounting for 56.3% of China’s total exports to countries along the route in the same period. Among them, the exports of textiles, electronic components, basic organic chemicals and auto parts increased by 14.5%, 21.1%, 31.3% and 24.6% respectively. In the same period, the total value of imported energy products and agricultural products was 2.46 trillion yuan and 370.41 billion yuan respectively, with growth rates of 58.8% and 13.4% respectively. In 2022, China’s import and export of intermediate products to other RCEP member countries was 8.7 trillion yuan, up by 8.5%, accounting for 67.2% of the total value in the same period. China’s export of mechanical and electrical products and labor-intensive products to other RCEP member countries increased by 13.2% and 20.7% respectively. China’s import structure from RCEP countries was mainly based on simple technology and intermediate technology-intensive manufactured products, and gradually upgraded to intermediate technology and high technology-intensive manufactured products. This aspect reflects that China’s position in the global manufacturing industry chain is constantly moving towards the middle and high end; On the other hand, it also shows the continuous strengthening of the overall scale and strength of China’s manufacturing industry.

　　The third is to promote market connectivity, accelerate the restructuring of the industrial chain, and promote the construction of a new development pattern. In the past ten years, with the joint efforts of all parties, the interconnection structure of "six corridors, six roads, many countries and many ports" has basically taken shape, and a large number of cooperation projects have taken root. China has signed more than 200 cooperation documents with 140 countries and 32 international organizations to jointly build the "Belt and Road". The total trade volume of goods with countries along the route has reached 10.4 trillion US dollars, and the non-financial direct investment in countries along the route has exceeded 130 billion US dollars, promoting the development strategy with countries and regions. At the same time, with the full entry into force of RCEP, ASEAN, as China’s largest trading partner, will bring greater convenience to the flow of factors, market connectivity and industrial integration between China and ASEAN, and help to accelerate the construction of a new "double-cycle" development pattern. Driven by RCEP, China and ASEAN will help to build a more innovative, higher added value and safer and more reliable industrial chain supply chain, and then become an important part of China’s international circular system.

　　According to customs data, in the first half of this year, the import and export of China’s Pilot Free Trade Zone and Hainan Free Trade Port increased by 8.6% and 26.4% respectively, and the role of open platform played an obvious role. On the basis of institutional opening, what supporting roles do the Pilot Free Trade Zone and Hainan Free Trade Port play in stabilizing China’s foreign trade?

　　Wei Song said that the Pilot Free Trade Zone and Hainan Free Trade Port are important measures for China to optimize the business environment and create a high level of opening up, which has a huge supporting role in stabilizing foreign trade:

　　First, it is conducive to the continuous promotion of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation. China’s free trade pilot zones are determined to forge ahead and explore boldly, and have achieved remarkable results. In the past ten years, China’s Pilot Free Trade Zone has expanded from 1 to 21, forming a pilot pattern covering east, west, north and south, and replicating and popularizing 278 institutional innovations throughout the country.

　　Second, it is conducive to the international economic and trade rules of elevation standards and steadily expand institutional opening. High-level openness is embodied in institutional openness such as rules, regulations, management and standards. It is the goal of the Pilot Free Trade Zone to adapt to the new situation, grasp the new characteristics, and strive to promote the institutional opening of rules, regulations, management and standards. Over the past five years since the establishment of Hainan Free Trade Port, more than 120 institutional innovations have been launched. Driven by a series of trade facilitation measures, China’s customs clearance efficiency has been continuously improved. The overall customs clearance time for imported goods has been reduced from about 4 days in 2017 to less than one and a half days now; The overall customs clearance time for export goods has been reduced from about 12 hours in 2017 to about 1.2 hours now. At the same time, China’s total tariff level is 7.4%, which is lower than the WTO commitment of 9.8%.

　　In the first half of this year, China’s "new three kinds" exports continued to increase. The total exports of electric manned vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cells increased by 61.6%, driving the overall export growth by 1.8 percentage points. In this context, how to further cultivate and consolidate industrial advantages and continuously gather new kinetic energy of foreign trade?

　　Wei Song said: First, we should vigorously promote the structural adjustment of foreign trade and promote the coordinated development of various foreign trade business entities. Encourage leading enterprises in the industry to extend the industrial chain and improve the level of international operation. Accelerate the formation of a number of large enterprises with transnational operation capabilities that allocate factor resources and lay out market networks on a global scale. Encourage the development of innovative, entrepreneurial and labor-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises, and support enterprises to take the road of "specialization and innovation" and coordinated development with large enterprises.

　　The second is to accelerate the promotion of international competitiveness of foreign trade. Accelerate the use of modern technology to transform traditional industries, improve the quality, grade and technical content of labor-intensive products, and push traditional industries to the middle and high end. Efforts should be made to build a technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market as the guidance and Industry-University-Research trade as the combination. Increase investment in scientific and technological innovation and support the original innovation of enterprises. Encourage enterprises to introduce advanced technology by means of import, overseas mergers and acquisitions, international bidding, recruiting talents and attracting talents, and promote digestion, absorption and innovation. Support domestic enterprises to set up overseas R&D centers through self-construction, joint venture and cooperation. Encourage multinational corporations and overseas scientific research institutions to set up R&D institutions in China. Strengthen the comprehensive competitive advantages of equipment manufacturing industries such as electric power, rail transit, communication equipment, ships, construction machinery, aerospace and large-scale complete sets of equipment exports, and strive to expand the export of investment commodities. Further improve the international competitiveness of strategic emerging industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection, next-generation information technology and new energy. Expand the import of advanced technology and equipment, key parts and components, and promote the adjustment, optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, August 17 th The National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference on the 16 th, responding to many hot issues: the overall progress of de-capacity needs to be further accelerated, and places with slow progress and poor work will be seriously held accountable; All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have issued specific opinions on the reform of the household registration system, and the "gold content" of residence permits has been continuously improved; There is some positive momentum in the northeast economy, and the "Three-year Rolling Implementation Plan for Promoting the Revitalization of Old Industrial Bases in Northeast China" will be issued in the near future; The reform of medical prices in public hospitals around the country is progressing smoothly, and most public hospitals have cancelled the drug addition.

　　The overall progress of de-capacity needs to be accelerated

　　— — Where progress is slow, accountability will be held.

　　Zhao Chenxin, spokesman of the National Development and Reform Commission, revealed that by the end of July, the country had withdrawn more than 95 million tons of coal production capacity, completing 38% of the annual tasks, and withdrawing more than 21 million tons of steel production capacity, completing 47% of the annual tasks. Although the progress has been accelerated since July, there is still a certain distance compared with the requirements of more than half of the time and more than half of the tasks.

　　For the reasons, Zhao Chenxin analyzed, first, the ideological understanding is not in place. Some regions and enterprises did not regard the responsibility letter as a "military order"; Second, the fear of difficulties still exists; Third, price changes bring interference. Recently, the price of steel and coal has rebounded to varying degrees, which has affected the determination of some enterprises and places to de-capacity steel and coal.

　　In order to ensure the completion of this year’s objectives and tasks, Zhao Chenxi said that a series of work measures will be taken in the next step, including special supervision on work progress and fund use, and listing supervision and serious accountability for places where progress is slow and work is not effective. Implement the monthly report notification system. Report on the progress of the monthly report on capacity reduction in various places, encourage the advanced and spur the backward, and so on.

　　The reporter from Zhongxin. com noted that the the State Council executive meeting held on the 16th decided to carry out a special inspection of the steel and coal industry to solve the excess capacity, so as to ensure the smooth completion of the annual objectives and tasks in strict accordance with the schedule requirements and time nodes. For poor implementation, slow progress and illegal new production capacity, it is necessary to inform, interview and seriously accountability to ensure the completion of the hard task of resolving excess capacity throughout the year.

　　Opinions on the reform of household registration system in all provinces have been released.

　　— — The "gold content" of residence permit has been continuously improved.

　　"The progress of urbanization of agricultural transfer population is generally smooth." Zhao Chenxin pointed out that all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have issued specific opinions on the reform of the household registration system, and 11 provinces have formulated specific implementation measures, and the "gold content" of residence permits has been continuously improved.

　　Zhongxin. com (WeChat WeChat official account: cns2012) The reporter noted that Beijing announced the "Measures for the Implementation of the Provisional Regulations on Residence Permits in Beijing" on the 11th. It can be seen from combing the areas where the detailed rules of residence permit have been issued that compared with the provisions of the national version, the scope of public services and conveniences provided by some areas has expanded.

　　Among them, holders of residence permits in Hebei Province can enjoy 8 basic public services and 8 conveniences; Holders of residence permits in Jilin Province can enjoy 6 basic public services and 9 conveniences; Holders of residence permits in Jiangxi Province can enjoy 7 basic public services and 8 conveniences. All these areas have increased the convenience for children to take the entrance examination for senior high school entrance examination in the local area, provided that relevant conditions are met.

　　There is some positive momentum in the northeast economy.

　　— — A three-year rolling implementation plan will be issued.

　　"According to the investigation, in the first half of this year, in the face of the downward pressure on the economy, the three northeastern provinces actively responded and there were some positive trends and positive changes." Zhao Chenxin said that in the first half of the year, the GDP growth rates of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning provinces were 5.7%, 6.7% and -1% respectively, which were all higher than those in the first quarter, and the differentiation between industries in different regions was indeed obvious.

　　Zhao Chenxin pointed out that from the perspective of the three provinces, the economy in areas with relatively diversified industries, active private economy and rapid industrial upgrading showed a trend of stabilization and improvement. However, the downward pressure on the economy of resource-exhausted cities with concentrated traditional industries is still relatively large. From the industry point of view, emerging industries that adapt to changes in market demand are developing well, while the traditional "original prefix" and "initial brand name" industries are generally weak, and the added value of coal, metallurgy, petrochemical and some equipment manufacturing industries has experienced negative growth year-on-year.

　　Regarding the next step to revitalize the Northeast economy, Zhao Chenxin revealed that the "Three-year Rolling Implementation Plan for Promoting the Revitalization of Old Industrial Bases in Northeast China" will be issued soon. The major tasks to be launched from 2016 to 2018 and major engineering projects to be started were clarified. The major policies focused on improving the system and mechanism, promoting structural adjustment, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, and ensuring and improving people’s livelihood, and identified 137 key tasks in different years.

　　The reform of medical price in public hospitals has achieved initial results.

　　— — Most public hospitals cancel drug addition.

　　Regarding the progress of medical price reform in public hospitals, Zhao Chenxin pointed out that at present, the medical price reform in county-level public hospitals has achieved full coverage, and the medical price reform in urban public hospitals has been fully promoted in eight provinces and cities including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Shandong, Qinghai, Shanghai and Tianjin, and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have also selected some cities and hospitals to carry out pilot projects.

　　"At present, the reform of medical prices in public hospitals around the country is progressing smoothly and running smoothly, and the results have initially appeared." Zhao Chenxi said that the emerging compensation mechanism of public hospitals is taking shape. Most public hospitals have cancelled the drug addition, and the compensation of public hospitals has changed from the original three channels of "service charge", "drug addition income" and "financial subsidy" to "service charge" and "financial subsidy".

　　Zhao Chenxi also pointed out that the patient’s cost burden is generally stable. By reducing the cost of medical consumables, reasonably adjusting the price of medical services and bringing them into the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, the proportion of patients’ personal medical expenses has remained basically stable. The drug market price is generally stable. The drug price reform has further stimulated the market vitality, promoted the innovation of drug research and development and improved the quality, and at the same time ensured the supply of drugs. The production and supply of some commonly used drugs and low-priced drugs have gradually recovered, ensuring the demand for drugs by the masses. (End)
