  A few days ago, "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of a National Unified Market" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions") was released. The "Opinions" clarified the overall requirements, main objectives and key tasks of accelerating the construction of a unified national market from a global and strategic perspective, which quickly attracted social attention.

  At present, why should China speed up the construction of a unified national market? How to understand the national unified market? How to promote the "Opinions" to be implemented and see actual results?

  Promote China’s market from big to strong.

  Nowadays, people can buy special products from all over the country through online shopping platforms without leaving home; New formats such as 5G remote consultation allow more patients in remote areas to enjoy quality medical resources; Some auto parts manufacturers can directly transmit the technical drawings to the supplier’s production line & HELIP; …

  "It should be noted that the rapid development and extensive penetration of next-generation information technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence are destroying all kinds of market barriers and barriers, which is of revolutionary significance for building a unified national market." Wang Yiming, vice chairman of China International Economic Exchange Center, said.

  According to Zhong Maochu, a professor at the Institute of Economics of Nankai University, the national unified big market is a product such as land, labor, capital, technology, data, resources, and goods and services, which has formed an unmanned market among different regions, industries, groups, large and medium-sized enterprises, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises nationwide.

  In recent years, important progress has been made in the construction of the national unified big market, but there are still some problems that hinder the construction of the national unified big market in practice.

  Wang Yiming introduced that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has adhered to the direction of socialist market economy reform, promoted market-oriented reform in breadth and depth, constantly improved systems of property rights protection, market access and fair competition, promoted price reform and market-oriented reform of important production factors such as land, capital, labor force, technology, knowledge and data, eliminated market barriers, and accelerated the formation of a modern market system.

  "The scale of China’s domestic market ranks among the best in the world, and the scale advantage of commodity market is obvious. The scale of capital, technology, data and other factor markets is expanding rapidly, but market segmentation and local protection are more prominent, market competition is insufficient, the development of factor markets is lagging behind, and the market operation efficiency is not high. The supervision method needs to be innovated." Wang Yiming said.

  In this regard, the "Opinions" propose to speed up the establishment of unified national market system rules, break local protection and market segmentation, open up key blocking points that restrict the economic cycle, promote the smooth flow of commodity elements and resources in a wider range, and accelerate the construction of an efficient, standardized, fair competition and fully open national unified market.

  As the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said, the Opinions provide a program of action for building a unified national market in the coming period, which will certainly have an important impact on deepening reform and opening up under the new situation, making better use of the tremendous advantages of exerting, consolidating and enhancing China’s market resources, and comprehensively promoting the transformation of China’s market from large to strong.

  Dong Yu, executive vice president of Tsinghua University China Institute of Development Planning, believes that at present, the difficulties and challenges in economic work are increasing. The central government’s layout will accelerate the construction of a unified national market, which will play a vital role in stabilizing the confidence of market players and thus stabilizing the overall development.

  Building a high-level market circulation system

  At present, some people have misunderstandings about the connotation, goal and realization path of the national unified market. For example, some people think that "building a unified national market means the return of the planned economy". This is a representative erroneous view.

  "We must realize that the biggest comparative advantage of China’s economic development today is its large-scale domestic market and strong domestic demand potential." Yao Jingyuan, a special researcher in the State Council Counselor’s Office, said that building a unified national market is not a return to the planned economy, but a strong support for building a high-level socialist market economic system.

  Chen Weiwei, an associate researcher at the Institute of Economic System and Management of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the most striking feature of the planned economy is that enterprises produce according to the planned instructions, and their products are distributed and sold through unified channels. The purpose of building a unified national market is to get rid of market barriers and maintain fair competition. The logic behind it is to build a national big market with unified rules and regulations for all kinds of market entities and encourage diversified market entities to enter the market for fair competition; Industry authorities and local governments should not "bias", but really give "unique skills" and responsible enterprises a broader stage, and really let market price signals play a role in optimizing the allocation of resources.

  "It can be seen that building a unified national market is not about unifying market players, distribution channels, goods and services, market prices, and nationalization." Chen Weiwei said.

  Guo Liyan, a researcher at China Macroeconomic Research Institute, believes that a strong domestic market not only refers to a larger scale, but also refers to a modern market circulation system with more complete institutional rules, more optimized structural levels and stronger influence and attraction. This is the core energy to actively allocate domestic and foreign factor resources, a powerful engine to drive high-quality economic development, and a complete system to promote the dynamic balance between supply and demand of the national economy at a higher level and level.

  "China has obvious advantages of super-large scale and overall market, which is an important advantage and key support for China to actively participate in reshaping the global competition pattern." Guo Liyan said that the "key measure" to comprehensively stabilize the smooth circulation of the domestic economic system is to speed up the construction of a unified national market, further cultivate and stimulate the potential of the domestic market, and resist the challenges of external uncertainty with maximum certainty.

  Break all kinds of closed small markets

  "The market is the bridge connecting supply and demand, the space for enterprises to compete and play games, and the realization of products and services ‘ The most thrilling leap ’ 。” Chen Weiwei said that at present, China’s domestic market is large but not strong, and there is still great potential to be tapped. Building a unified national market can give full play to the advantages of China’s ultra-large-scale market, cultivate local world-class enterprises, attract resources with global advantages, and enhance the international discourse power of China’s market.

  In terms of the main objectives, the Opinions clearly state that the domestic market will continue to be efficient, smooth and scale-expanding, and a stable, fair, transparent and predictable business environment will be accelerated, so as to further reduce market transaction costs, promote scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and foster new advantages in participating in international competition and cooperation.

  It is understood that the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Administration of Market Supervision will work with relevant departments to establish and improve the departmental coordination mechanism to promote the construction of a unified national market and increase overall coordination. At the same time, clarify the phased work objectives, solve outstanding problems, and promote the reform measures to be effective as soon as possible.

  "The key is to persist in making breakthroughs at the same time and pressing ahead. For the outstanding contradictions and problems facing the reform, we must resolutely break it and escort the overall stability with the point of reform." Dong Yu said that in order to standardize market intervention and create a stable, fair, transparent and predictable business environment, it is necessary to truly implement the concept of taking the needs of market participants as the guide and practicing the principle of simplicity, create a good ecology for all kinds of market participants to invest and start businesses, and make the process of building a unified big market become a process of constantly standardizing government behavior and reducing market intervention.

  In Wang Yiming’s view, it is necessary to promote the construction of a unified national market through reform and innovation. To unify the rules of the market system, we should adhere to the problem-oriented principle and make innovations at the same time. We should not only deepen the reform, but also strengthen the unity of the rules of the system and the consistency of supervision and law enforcement on the basic components such as property rights system, market access, fair competition and market supervision, and also speed up the elimination of various regulations and practices that hinder the unified market and fair competition.

  Guo Liyan said that all localities and departments should improve their positions, focus on the overall situation, obey the overall situation, give full play to the advantages of the whole country in playing a chess game and concentrating on major events, and resolutely get rid of the wrong understanding and practice of "warlord separatism" among regions and engaging in local small circulation in their own way, get rid of all kinds of closed small markets, and open up the economic cycle between different regional spaces such as "blocks", "provinces" and "cities" and "urban and rural areas".

Sentence! Female students committed suicide by jumping into the sea by telecom fraud, and 7 defendants were brought to justice.

  CCTV News:From June to August, 2016, a telecom fraud gang committed fraud crazily. During this period, Cai Shuyan, a college student, committed suicide by jumping into the sea after being defrauded of tuition and living expenses of 9800 yuan. On the morning of 28th, the Intermediate People’s Court of Jieyang City, Guangdong Province sentenced seven defendants, including Chen Minghui, to life imprisonment and three years’ imprisonment.

  The court found through trial that from August 2013 to March 2014, Chen Minghui repeatedly hired Tang Xiaohui (sentenced) to pretend to be a variety show such as "Where is Dad?" and sent more than 730,000 false winning fraud messages to mobile phone users.

  From June to August, 2016, Chen Minghui recruited and assembled Fan Zhijie, Gao Xuezhong, Ye Qifeng, Xiong Yunjiang and others to form a criminal gang. By sending false winning information such as "Taobao" and "Run Brothers", he induced the winners who received the information to log in to the "phishing website" to fill in their personal information to receive the prize, and pretended to be a customer service staff to trick the winners into paying the "deposit" on the grounds of redemption. Pretending to be court staff and lawyers, it is a breach of contract that the "winner" fails to pay the "security deposit" or receive the prize as required. It is necessary to sue or have sued the "winner" and continue to pay the handling fee before withdrawing the lawsuit and obtaining the prize, threatening and luring, and defrauding the "winner" again, defrauding many people of property totaling RMB 1.041 million. Among them, Cai Shuyan, a student about to attend university, committed suicide by jumping into the sea after being defrauded of tuition and living expenses of 9800 yuan.

  The court also found that Lin Shiya knowingly engaged in illegal and criminal activities by Ye Qifeng and others, and still illegally entrusted him with point-of-sale terminal equipment (POS machines), which provided convenient conditions for him to cash in the stolen money. Knowing that others are engaged in illegal and criminal activities, Chen Liyi still sells several bank cards to others for fraud. In addition, Xiong Yunjiang was caught by the traffic police for drunk driving in Haikou.

  The court held that in the joint crime of fraud, Chen Minghui, Fan Zhijie, Gao Xuezhong, Ye Qifeng and Xiong Yunjiang, for the purpose of illegal possession, formed a telecom fraud criminal gang, used communication tools and online means to defraud an unspecified majority of people, and caused a student to commit suicide. The amount of fraud was particularly huge and the circumstances were particularly serious, all of which constituted fraud. Xiong Yunjiang also drunk driving a motor vehicle on the road, and his behavior constitutes a crime of dangerous driving, which should be combined with several crimes according to law. Knowing that others commit crimes, Lin Shiya has repeatedly provided point-of-sale terminal equipment (POS machines) to help transfer the proceeds of crimes. Knowing that others commit crimes, Chen Liyi still provides multiple bank accounts for others to transfer the proceeds of crimes, which has constituted the crime of concealing and concealing. According to the facts, nature, circumstances and the degree of harm to society of each defendant, the Intermediate People’s Court of Jieyang City, Guangdong Province sentenced the defendant Chen Minghui to life imprisonment, deprived of political rights for life and confiscated all personal property. The defendants Fan Zhijie, Gao Xuezhong and Ye Qifeng were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 15 to 13 years and fined for fraud; The defendant Xiong Yunjiang was sentenced to 11 years in prison and fined for fraud and dangerous driving. The defendant Lin Shiya was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment and the defendant Chen Lucy li was sentenced to one year and four months’ imprisonment and fined for concealing and concealing the crime. The defendants were ordered to jointly refund the fraudulent money to the victim.

Protection is not as good as mRNA vaccine. What are the advantages of inactivated vaccine?

On December 30, 2020, Beijing Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd. quietly published a short announcement in official website. According to the interim analysis results of Covid-19 inactivated vaccine phase III clinical trial, the safety of Covid-19 inactivated vaccine of China Bio-Beijing Company of Sinopharm Group was good after inoculation.After two doses of immunization, the positive conversion rate of neutralizing antibody was 99.2%, and the protective power of vaccine against diseases caused by COVID-19 infection (Covid-19) was 79.34%.

Prior to this, Pfizer and Moderna from the United States also released the research results of phase III clinical trials of their own mRNA vaccines, and the protective power was over 90%. In this way, our vaccines seem to have a little poor protective effect. But be careful,This is not because our technology is not good, but more because of the congenital difference between mRNA vaccine and inactivated vaccine.

Immune protection induced by inactivated vaccine is relatively weak.

Inactivated vaccine is a vaccine made by inactivating virus by physical or chemical methods. Compared with live virus particles, the immunogenicity of inactivated virus is relatively weak, and adjuvant is often needed.

In 2013, a study entitled "Characterization of immune responses induced by activated, live attended and DNA vacuums against Japanese encephalitis virus in mice" was confirmed by Japanese encephalitis virus.Compared with artificial attenuated live vaccine and DNA vaccine, the immune response induced by inactivated vaccine is relatively weak.

Figure 1. Heading of the article

The researchers divided the mice into four groups, injected with inactivated vaccine (INV), live attenuated vaccine (LAV), DNA vaccine (pCAG-JME) and control, and then detected the antibody level in mice. At the end of the experiment, the total antibody titer induced by inactivated vaccine was significantly lower than that of attenuated live vaccine group and DNA vaccine group.

Fig. 2 Antibody level pairs induced by three vaccines

The researchers also detected the levels of different subtypes of IgG induced in the serum of mice, and found that there were differences among the three vaccines. The inactivated vaccine mainly induced IgG type 1 antibody, while the attenuated live vaccine mainly induced IgG type 2a antibody, and the antibody levels of DNA vaccine were both high.

Fig. 3 Different IgG subtypes induced by three vaccines

The researchers also compared the levels of cytokines induced by vaccine and the levels of dendritic cells and Treg in detail, and there were some differences. Anyway,There are some differences in immune response induced by inactivated vaccine, attenuated live vaccine and nucleic acid vaccine. It is not surprising that the protective effect of inactivated vaccine is not as good as that of RNA vaccine.

Inactivated vaccine has the best safety.

Because the clinical data of phase III vaccine of Beijing Institute of Biological Products have not been published in any authoritative journals,Therefore, the safety of inactivated vaccine BBIBP-CorV in China, mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 in Pfizer and mRNA vaccine mRNA-1273 in Moderna Company are examined from the published phase I/II clinical trials of vaccines.Someone has made statistics on the safety data of phase I/II clinical trials of various COVID-19 vaccines, and all the data are shown in the following figure. After the first dose of mRNA-1273 vaccine was injected, the incidence of systemic grade I adverse reactions was 53.3%, grade II adverse reactions were 13.3%, local grade I adverse reactions were 73.3%, and grade II adverse reactions were 13.3%. After injecting the second dose, the incidence of systemic first-class adverse reactions was 20%, and the incidence of second-class adverse reactions was 80%. The incidence of local first-class adverse reactions was 66.7%, and the incidence of second-class adverse reactions was 26.7%. No adverse reactions above grade 3 were found locally or systemically.

However, after injection of Pfizer’s BNT162b2, the incidence of local or systemic adverse reactions was 41.7%, and the incidence of adverse events above grade 3 was 8.3%. For people aged 65-85, the incidence of local or systemic adverse reactions is 25%, and the incidence of adverse reactions above grade 3 is 8.3%.

The results of phase I clinical trial of domestic inactivated vaccine BBIBP-CorV in China show that the incidence of first-grade local or systemic adverse reactions is 33% for people aged 18-59, and that of second-grade adverse reactions is 13%. For people over 60, the incidence of adverse reactions is 29%, and there are no adverse events above grade 3. In the results of Phase II clinical trials, the incidence of Grade I adverse events was 15%, and the incidence of Grade II adverse events was 2%.

Fig. 4 Adverse reactions of various vaccines.

Judging from these data, among the three popular vaccines at present, the safety of inactivated vaccine in China is absolutely the best, not to mention the recent allergic storm of Pfizer vaccine, which has caused rare allergic reactions in dozens of people.

Domestic vaccines with 79% protection and no serious adverse reactions are absolutely safe and effective.Because China’s epidemic prevention and control work is very well done, we have to overcome many difficulties when conducting clinical trials of vaccines. After all, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 is well controlled and there is no condition for clinical trials, which is one of the reasons why the progress of phase III clinical trials lags behind others. We should see that even if our protection efficiency does not exceed 90% in the United States, inactivated vaccine obviously has advantages, such as it is safer and easier to store and transport. Although our protective effect is not as good as the two vaccines in the United States, it has reached the standard of vaccine approval, and the protective effect far exceeds 50%, which is trustworthy.

Food Planning | new york Food Forward ④: Let food promote economy and employment.

In February, 2021, new york Mayor’s Food Policy Office released the first 10-year food policy plan "NYC: A 10-year food policy plan". This series consists of seven articles, translated by the team of "the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.-Sustainable City and Transportation". This is the fourth article, which introduces the second goal of new york’s ten-year food policy plan: to make new york’s food economy promote economic development and provide good jobs.

New york has more than 40,000 food enterprises, employing hundreds of thousands of workers. It is difficult to calculate the exact number of workers, because there is no reliable data to explain the number of workers in the "gig economy" in food distribution. These workers and enterprises are vital to the health and well-being of new york people. The food industry is an important source of employment and property income for colored people and immigrant communities (79% of food workers in new york are colored people, including 43% Latinos and 21% Asians).

The catering industry is also very important to the city, because it is the main attraction of residents, workers and tourists, supporting many other industries, such as office employment in the central business district and attracting tourists. In fact, the catering industry is the key to making new york so attractive. Its economic contribution is also great. In 2019, the taxable sales of the catering industry reached nearly $27 billion.

However, working in the food industry or owning a business is extremely challenging. The food industry usually has a low profit margin, while the cost of running a business in new york is high. About 99% of food enterprises in the city are small enterprises with less than 100 workers, while 70% are micro enterprises with less than 10 workers. In addition, the wages of food workers are usually low, and they lack job security and mobility opportunities. Many deliverymen (an increasingly important part of the food industry) are considered as independent contract workers and cannot get the same protection and benefits as employees.

If new york wants to improve its food system, it must first support both food workers and food enterprises. The support for the two is not mutually exclusive, but mutually reinforcing. These strategies also focus on the future of food enterprises, including supporting a new ownership model that conforms to the principles of economic democracy and technological change.

Size of food enterprises in new york (calculated by number of employees). Cartography: the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky., the picture is from NYC Food Forward, only translated in Chinese.

Strategy 1: Protect the rights and interests of food practitioners 

Implementing fair scheduling method in fast food industry

New york will strictly implement the fast food fair scheduling laws, so as to optimize the fast food industry into a benign occupation with stable and predictable working hours and wages. Strong law enforcement will ensure that workers in fast food restaurants can arrange shifts fairly and even get overtime pay when the shift schedule is temporarily changed. Law enforcement will also ensure that workers in the fast food industry can settle down through regular shifts in high-mobility industries.

Provide financial and technical support for workers’ cooperatives

The cooperative model has a long history in the food field. Worker-owned cooperatives have yet to become a powerful tool for new york to accumulate assets and eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor. In order to meet the needs of food enterprises, new york will not only coordinate existing auxiliary projects to support cooperatives, such as Employee Ownership, but also explore innovative financial and technical support projects.

When it is not appropriate for the government to directly intervene in enterprises, the New York City Government will also explore cooperation with community-based organizations, business improvement areas (BID) and merchant associations, and provide support for cooperative organization efforts in five administrative regions.

Improve the situation of food workers.

New york will promote a series of state and federal bills to improve the situation of workers in the food industry, as listed below:

(1) Ensure that all employees in the food industry are included in the federal and state welfare plans;

(2) For employers who fail to protect workers’ health, abolish relevant laws that limit their responsibilities;

(3) Change the state regulations on tip pool sharing, and expand the scope of employees who participate in tip sharing, so that employees without tips can also get some sharing;

(4) To cope with emergencies, set up a hazard pay for grass-roots food workers.

Provide support to practitioners of food programs.

New york will make efforts to provide support to practitioners of food programs. Under the circumstance that the purchasing power is restricted by the current laws, new york will first ensure that food suppliers abide by the current labor laws and collect more labor-related information from food suppliers. In addition, new york will promote the revision of applicable laws and use food procurement power to optimize the working conditions of food practitioners.

Expand child care services to solve the problem of night care for children of food practitioners.

During the COVID-19 crisis, new york deeply realized the hard work and important role of food practitioners. Child care has been provided through the Regional Enrichment Centers "and child care programs throughout the city. With the gradual recovery of the city, existing facilities for childcare projects will be expanded or new projects will be created, including night and weekend care, which is the time when children need care most and parents are most inconvenient to take care of. Providing night and weekend child care will enable parents who often work at night and weekend classes to improve their work flexibility and reduce the cost of childcare.

Feasibility study on developing basic social security benefits

New york will conduct a feasibility study on the basic social security benefits for all food workers. This study will explore the potential partnerships among food practitioners, enterprises, community organizations and financial institutions. This project focuses on providing welfare protection such as pension and medical insurance for food practitioners. New york will also push the federal government to introduce a bill to provide full and fair social security benefits for all employees, regardless of their employers, workplaces or job nature.

Strategy 2: Simplify the process, encourage innovation and support small food enterprises.

Promote tax credits for small businesses.

New york will promote state legislation and establish a tax deduction mechanism for small businesses, including the food industry, to promote the recovery of small businesses in new york. Eligible enterprises with a total income of less than $1 million will receive a tax credit of 6% of their rent in 2021, with a maximum tax credit of $10,000.

Simplify the related processes of food enterprises

New york will review the regulations and enforcement procedures related to small food enterprises (including street vendors) to streamline the process. New york will improve efficiency as much as possible, and expand consolidated licensing and inspection services, so that simplified processes can benefit start-up and existing small food enterprises. The municipal government will also carry out innovation in matters related to food enterprises and increase opportunities for participation, especially cooperation with immigrant organizations.

Support the food enterprises of new york Housing Bureau.

New york will cooperate with enterprises and community organizations to expand the Food Business Pathways of new york Housing Bureau (NYCHA). The establishment of the Business Accelerator Program aims to enable residents of the public housing development project of new york Housing Bureau and those who hold the Class 8 housing clause subsidy voucher of new york Housing Bureau (note: the subsidy voucher program was established in 1978 to provide assistance to eligible low-and middle-income families in renting houses from private hands) to start and develop food business.

Promote the protection of food property and customer data.

The successful operation of food business relies more and more on the data of third-party providers. However, food enterprises often lack professional knowledge or the ability to use these services on favorable terms, and may not be able to obtain key information such as customer data. New york has convened a number of stakeholders to jointly promote initiatives to protect the data of food enterprises and customers, such as the "data bill of rights" for food enterprises and customers.

Support the needs of food enterprises and cooperatives

New york will convene stakeholders in the food industry to identify and design new projects to meet the special demands of food enterprises and non-profit organizations. New york City will then promote the effective implementation of these projects by the state and federal governments. This may include developing new financing and technical assistance programs to help mutual-help and self-operated workers’ cooperatives and small food enterprises.

Suppliers are more likely to participate in the urban procurement process.

New york will promote the smooth connection between potential food suppliers and the urban procurement process. PASSPort, a digital procurement portal in new york, will launch new functions to improve the procurement process. Including: simplifying the collection process, speeding up the issuance of invoices, improving transparency more widely and promoting cross-departmental cooperation.

In addition, new york will explore ways: using matchmaking tools and group buying strategies to increase the number of bids for urban food contracts; Expand technical support and guide the procurement process; Provide process navigator to assist small suppliers in the procurement bidding process; And explore to simplify the application process of M/WBE (note: M/WBE: minority and women-owned business enterprises, enterprises owned, operated and controlled by ethnic minorities and women).

Strategy 3: Help the next generation of food workers get high-quality jobs.

Launch a community recruitment plan for the food industry.

New york will use the current new york NYC plan and the proposed Community HireNYC Legislation to expand the recruitment demand, and set up good entry-level posts in the whole food procurement process, including food production, distribution, transportation and other related work.

New york will combine the existing and new training plans to provide human resources for suppliers, and require suppliers to provide interviews and employment opportunities for qualified low-income people. New york will also cooperate with anchor institutions to expand the number of high-quality entry-level jobs in food procurement, and pay special attention to core institutions in underserved communities.

Support food technology vocational training

New york’s partners in catering, manufacturing and industry will continue to keep pace with the technological upgrading of the industry. These partners will provide advice to small business service organizations (SBS) on the development of specific labor force and provide new technology training programs for industry practitioners. This can ensure that employees are at the forefront of technological change and that they learn new skills at work, rather than being replaced by new technologies.

Create and expand the career path of food practitioners

New york will ensure the prospect and "Qian Jing" of food industry, both warehouse workers and kitchen staff can be developed, and provide more training, certification and business plans for food practitioners.

Listed below:

(i) Expand training and entrepreneurship programs for commercial kitchens, such as the First Course NYC and Food Business Pathways in new york;

(ii) providing English as a Second Language services for non-native English-speaking food workers;

(iii) Cooperating with the industry to provide the US Department of Energy (DOE) vocational and technical education courses for practitioners in food production, processing, storage and distribution processes;

(iv) Linking youth training programmes with career paths;

Nearly 1,200 Hong Kong police officers were subjected to "human flesh search" and the instigators were arrested.

[Text/Observer Network Guo Han]

During the riots and conflicts in the past month or so, the Hong Kong police devoted themselves to their duties and exercised professional restraint, which became the last barrier to maintaining public order and defending the rule of law.

However, activists’ acts of stigmatizing the police and cyberbullying have intensified: some teachers have viciously cursed police children, and nearly 1,200 police officers’ personal data have been leaked by criminals, which has caused great troubles to the lives of the parties and their families.

In addition, the account also claimed that it "has a mole informant in the police force and major Hong Kong media", and its administrator claimed to be overseas and provoked the police to "have the ability to fly abroad to arrest me".

Superintendent Mo Junjie of Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau of Hong Kong Police informed the media about the disclosure of police personal data.

Among them, the most notorious is a channel called "Old Bean" on an instant messaging software Telegram. Because of the encryption of its server, Telegram has become an online contact point for Hong Kong extremists to hook up with each other and conduct "human flesh search" on Hong Kong police and other related people.

Verified by Observer Network, this channel was established on July 7th. Since July 15th, the number of subscriptions and views has soared. At present, 74,000 subscribers have posted 911 photos, 21 videos and 26 documents, most of which are personal information of police officers and their families.

The channel manager and main information publisher is an account with the user name "Laodou Yizai", which means "father seeking son" in Cantonese, which is insulting to the police and other relevant searched people. The account claims that the team "has more than 50 people, all of whom have settled in the United States, Canada, Britain and other places".

Its operation mode is: firstly, upload photos of police officers’ faces taken by the media or protesters at the scene, then confirm the identity of police officers through face recognition and "human flesh search" and disclose their personal information: from job number and contact information to family background and family photos, the level of detail is chilling.

Screenshot of related channel release information

Because "the face recognition department needs a lot of data", the account suggested that members take photos at the entrance of the police dormitory, and emphasized that "each person has two more angles". In addition, the channel also uses vicious language to attack and threaten police officers and their families, claiming that its purpose is "the disaster will reach his wife and children".

With the outbreak of street violence, the addresses and contact information of a number of senior police officers have been exposed one after another, including Commissioner of Police Stephen Lo, Deputy Director Deng Bingqiang and British Chief Superintendent Tao Hui.

It is worth mentioning that the account once claimed that it "has a mole informant in the police force and major Hong Kong media". In addition, its contents include "teaching" in making incendiary bombs, using slingshots and hiding portable knives.

On August 1, the Hong Kong police released a video to introduce the situation that the police information was "bottomed out". Superintendent Liu Zhaobang revealed that since June 9, the personal data of more than 1,200 police officers and their families have been leaked on the Internet.

Insult words were posted on the door of a police officer’s house, and personal data were taken to borrow money from a financial company, which made family members very worried and worried every day. What’s more, even the photos of young children of police officers were made public, and some netizens threatened to "pick up their children from school".

Superintendent Liu reiterated that these acts may violate the crimes of "using computers with criminal or dishonest intentions", "criminal intimidation" or violation of privacy regulations, and the police will never tolerate them.

On Friday (2nd), Hong Kong police arrested three men on suspicion of inciting others to commit public nuisance and fraud. One of the suspects was involved in using the illegally leaked information of police officers to apply for a loan online, but fortunately it was not successful.

Mo Junjie, Superintendent of Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau, said that in view of the recent radical remarks on the Internet, which instigated others to make offensive weapons, contain buildings, and even attack others, and caused nuisance and intimidation to police officers and their families, the police reminded young people not to break the law.

The administrator account did not forget to provoke the police while forwarding the above news, emphasizing that he was overseas and "had the ability to fly abroad to arrest me".

The channel released photos, trying to prove that the administrator took screenshots abroad.

According to a report in Ming Pao last Sunday (28th), the Hong Kong police arrested a 29-year-old man surnamed Zhang in a shopping mall on 25th on suspicion of "conspiracy or abetting murder", and accused him of being the administrator of the "Laodou Daizi" group, abetting members to assassinate the police.

However, Zhang denied this and quibbled with The New York Times that he had tried to develop a face recognition software and was suspected of being arrested. He has been released on bail pending investigation and is required to report to the police in late August.

Wu Zongluan, a lawyer group with close ties to the opposition and the convener of the Hong Kong Forensic Science Conference, said that if the case is brought to court, the prosecution must prove that the defendant has taken concrete or further actions to kill people because of the relevant remarks. He also said that this matter "is not just as simple as lip service", even if the murder did not happen in the end, there is a chance to be guilty.

According to the Crimes against the Person Ordinance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the conviction of "conspiracy or abetting murder" can be sentenced to life imprisonment.

Men were held hostage and blackmailed during online dating.

  (Reporter Chen Lili correspondent Luo Lipeng, Ji Hongbao) Less than a month after Chen Mou and female netizen Huang met through the Internet, they developed into online dating and met a tryst. Unexpectedly, her boyfriend Fu found out that Chen Mou was held hostage and demanded 10,000 yuan for "compensation". Yesterday, Fu was discovered by the community patrol police on the way to extort money. At present, Fu has been under criminal detention.


  Female netizens said that they were deceived and stole money for revenge.


  Chen Mou, a 21-year-old man, met Hwang through the Internet, and then they started online dating. On August 8, the two met and stayed in Huang’s dormitory. The next morning, their mobile phones were missing. Because Hwang already has a boyfriend Fu, he told Chen Mou to leave quickly.


  According to Chen Mou, after he left, Hwang suspected that the mobile phone was stolen by him, and felt that Chen Mou cheated and stole money, and he suffered a big loss, so he implicitly told Fu Mou about the situation and asked Fu Mou to get justice for him. Therefore, Fu promised Huang and asked Huang to ask Chen Mou out. Yesterday morning, Chen Mou came to the door of a hotel after receiving a phone call. Fu and several men punched and kicked Chen Mou and asked him to "compensate" 10,000 yuan.


  Then three people got off at a store, and Chen Mou called home to get the money. When he was about to leave, he was rescued when he met a patrolling policeman. At present, Fu has been detained in criminal detention.
