On February 4th, the State Council released the Opinions on Further Improving the Prevention and Disposal of Illegal Fund-raising. The "Opinions" put forward the regulatory concept of "combining prevention with crackdown, cracking down early and cracking down on small ones", clarified the regulatory responsibilities for preventing and handling illegal fund-raising, based on establishing a long-term mechanism, and tried to solve the problem of illegal fund-raising flooding from the source by perfecting relevant laws and regulations. The reporter of Economic Daily interviewed relevant experts to interpret the Opinions.

Governance according to law, classification and policy

Experts believe that the Opinions fully embodies the concept of "managing illegal fund-raising according to law" and establishes the principle of classified policy.

Li Aijun, a professor at the School of Civil and Commercial Economics of China University of Political Science and Law, said that according to the requirements of the Opinions, the governance of illegal fund-raising should obey the established laws, and he also proposed that the established laws and related legislation in China should be revised in time according to the characteristics of illegal fund-raising. "At present, illegal fund-raising methods are being refurbished to avoid laws and regulations, which leads to the lag of existing laws and regulations. Perfecting the relevant legal system is an important way to cure illegal fund-raising. "

The cases of illegal fund-raising are complex, involving a wide range of aspects and strong policies. In order to effectively resolve contradictions and strive to achieve the organic unity of law enforcement and social effects, the Opinions have established the principle of strict handling according to law and classified policies.

Liu Weibo, the presiding judge of the Second Criminal Court of the Supreme People’s Court, said that according to the requirements of the Opinions, it is necessary to strictly distinguish between illegal fund-raising and legal private lending, and between criminal offences and administrative violations. If illegal fund-raising or illegal fund-raising does not constitute a crime according to law, and production and business activities can continue, it is necessary to actively help and guide enterprises to take the initiative to rectify and avoid expanding losses. At the same time, we must adhere to the criminal policy of combining leniency with severity, severely crack down on major criminal cases of illegal fund-raising in key areas, key regions and key links, and be lenient in accordance with the law if the illegally absorbed funds are mainly used for normal production and business activities and can be repaid in time.

At present, illegal fund-raising tends to spread to different regions and industries. To effectively prevent and deal with illegal fund-raising, it is necessary to strengthen leadership, participate in many parties and form a joint force. "The Opinions also emphasize the construction of a work pattern in which the division of labor is responsible for linkage and cooperation." Liu Weibo said.

Li Aijun said that at present, with the rapid spread and wide coverage of Internet technology, Internet-based illegal fund-raising has the characteristics of cross-sectoral, cross-regional, cross-industry and regional, and governance of Internet-based illegal fund-raising requires all-round cooperation.

The combination of dredging and plugging focuses on prevention

The prevention and disposal of illegal fund-raising is a long-term, complex and arduous systematic project. To effectively prevent and control the risk of illegal fund-raising, we must change our ideas, innovate our mechanisms and improve our methods. "The Opinions put forward the important concept of’ two combinations’, that is, the combination of prevention and suppression and the combination of unblocking." Liu Weibo said that the key to achieving the goal of early detection and early resolution of illegal fund-raising is prevention.

Among them, prevention means nip in the bud, and do a good job in monitoring and early warning, daily supervision, investigation and evaluation of illegal fund-raising risks; Fight, that is, fight early and fight small, and severely crack down on key areas, key areas and major vicious illegal fund-raising cases according to law; Sparse is to continuously improve the level of financial services through reform, broaden private investment and financing channels, vigorously develop inclusive finance, and effectively solve the contradiction between financial supply and demand; Blocking is to clarify the boundaries of policies and laws by improving laws and regulations, and resolutely block all kinds of illegal fund-raising and criminal activities carried out under the banner of production and operation, commodity trading, financial innovation and internet finance.

Liu Weibo believes that only by taking precautions in place, cracking down effectively, unblocking the right path, blocking evil paths, and taking multiple measures simultaneously can we get out of the strange circle of "letting chaos control death" and achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root causes.

Peng Bing, a professor at Peking University Law School, said that once the risk of illegal fund-raising breaks out, it is often difficult to pay, and it is difficult for investors to recover their funds. The Opinions focus on prevention in cracking down on illegal fund-raising activities, which has strong practical significance.

The development of illegal fund-raising activities needs to rely on some channels that are convenient to the public, such as advertising, and various organizations that have obtained sales licenses to promote illegal wealth management products. Peng Bing said, "Setting up monitoring in these channels can detect illegal fund-raising activities as early as possible and nip them in the bud." The Opinions also proposes to strengthen the monitoring and inspection of advertisements.

Monitoring the capital flow is helpful for early detection of illegal fund-raising activities. "Most funds for illegal fund-raising activities need to go through financial institutions. Strengthening the monitoring of anti-money laundering by financial institutions will effectively find suspected illegal fund-raising activities in the early stage." Peng Bing said that the Opinions clarify that financial institutions should identify and report suspicious trading activities suspected of illegal fund-raising on the basis of anti-money laundering.

At the same time, the Opinions also emphasize the role of "publicity and education" in preventing and handling illegal fund-raising. "Through publicity and education for the masses, let them master certain basic knowledge and common sense of finance and law, which will not only make the masses invest more rationally, but also improve their self-protection ability, and will also play a guiding role in the whole society." Li Aijun said.

Carry out the responsibility without leaving a vacuum

Li Aijun believes that the Opinions further improve the responsibility mechanism for preventing and disposing of illegal fund-raising. For example, in the Opinions, it is clear that the provincial people’s government is the first responsible person to prevent and dispose of illegal fund-raising, and the local people’s governments at all levels should effectively implement the responsibilities of territorial management, and make detailed provisions on the scope of responsibility and the assessment methods of responsibilities of each responsible subject. This fully reflects the government’s determination to control illegal fund-raising. Only when the responsibility is clear and operational can it be truly implemented and effective, and it can ensure that there is no vacuum in the supervision and prevention of illegal fund-raising in all industries.

"In addition, the Opinions stipulate the responsibilities of relevant departments from the principle of whether supervision is linked to market access and industry management, which inhibits the current illegal fund-raising and use of the lack of supervision system to engage in illegal and criminal activities." Li Aijun said that the current illegal fund-raising with the help of Internet technology has circumvented the regulatory agencies and competent authorities. With the promulgation of the Opinions, local people’s governments at all levels will be responsible for the supervision and management of all kinds of "innovations" that evade regulatory agencies and competent institutions, which will fundamentally prevent the risks brought by all kinds of pseudo-innovations.

Liu Weibo said that while clarifying the main body of responsibility and refining the division of responsibilities, the Opinions put special emphasis on the accountability mechanism, and incorporated the prevention and disposal of illegal fund-raising into the comprehensive assessment and evaluation of leading bodies and leading cadres of people’s governments at all levels. The financial supervision department will also establish an accountability system while guiding and urging financial institutions to strengthen internal management, social propaganda, monitoring and reporting.

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that China’s economy has changed from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and it is in the key period of changing the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the growth momentum. Building a modern economic system is an urgent requirement for crossing the barrier and a strategic goal for China’s development. Crossing the threshold of economic transformation and promoting high-quality development is a brand-new practice of economic work under the new historical conditions. To solve a series of difficult problems, scientific theoretical guidance and the spirit of reform and innovation are urgently needed.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has persisted in observing the general situation, seeking the overall situation and doing practical things, successfully controlled the overall situation of China’s economic development, and formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era with the new development concept as the main content in practice, which provided scientific theoretical guidance and practical guidance for promoting high-quality development, mainly embodied in seven "persistences": persisting in strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party over economic work to ensure China’s economic development in the right direction; Adhere to the people-centered development thought, which runs through the overall layout of "five in one" and the coordinated promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layout; Adhere to the adaptation and grasp the new normal of leading economic development, base on the overall situation and grasp the law; Insist on making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation, give better play to the role of the government, and resolutely remove institutional and institutional obstacles to economic development; Insist on adapting to the main contradictions and changes in China’s economic development, improve macro-control, make a choice according to circumstances, prescribe a correct prescription, and take promoting supply-side structural reform as the main line of economic work; Adhering to the problem-oriented deployment of the new strategy of economic development has a far-reaching impact on China’s economic and social development and reform; Adhere to the correct work strategies and methods, strive for progress steadily, maintain strategic strength, adhere to the bottom line thinking, and move forward step by step.

　　These seven "Persistences" cover the political guarantee, purpose, law understanding, system reform, macro-control, strategic layout and working methods of China’s economic reform and development in the new era. They are a systematic induction and summary of the practice of economic reform and development in the new era, fully embody the inheritance and development of Marxist political economy, dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and are a scientific theoretical summary of the practice of central economic work since the new era, which is a very valuable spiritual wealth of the party and the country.

　　Theory originates from practice, is refined above practice, and then guides and promotes practice. This is the methodology of our Marxist political party to promote practice and theoretical innovation. To implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thoughts of the Supreme Leader in the new era, we should not only learn documents, speeches and original works, but also accurately understand the spiritual essence and theoretical connotation. More importantly, we should use these important thoughts to guide economic practice and turn scientific theories into high-quality development reality.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, many localities and enterprises, under the guidance of the supreme leader Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought in the new era, have been brave enough to take responsibility, boldly explore and innovate, and strive to solve practical problems, and have achieved remarkable results and accumulated important experience, which is worthy of good summary, publicity and promotion. These successful cases not only prove the correctness of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought in the new era by vivid practice, but also provide a vivid learning model for all aspects to solve practical problems and promote high-quality development. Learning and popularizing these successful experiences is conducive to promoting the ability and level of economic work in all aspects and accelerating the economic development on a high-quality track.

　　Under the unified organization of the Central Organization Department, the Office of the Central Committee of Finance and Economics, together with relevant departments, central media, key universities and cadre education and training institutions, carefully selected 26 typical cases of practicing Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and compiled "Implementing Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, Overcoming Difficulties in Reform, Development and Stability, Economic Construction", which was used as a teaching material for the theme education activities of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Remember the Mission". The cases selected in this book cover supply-side structural reform, innovation-driven development, rural reform, regional coordinated development, state-owned enterprise reform, commercial system reform, private enterprise development, urban management, "Belt and Road" construction, free trade zone construction, improving business environment, financial services to the real economy, maintaining energy security and other important fields, and the main bodies of the cases include local governments, enterprises, financial institutions, scientific research units and so on. Each case closely follows the real problems, introduces the successful practices of relevant units, and summarizes and refines some universal experience and enlightenment, which has strong practicability and can be used for reference.

　　The outstanding feature of this set of case teaching materials is to reflect the problem orientation, and each case is aimed at the difficult problems with universality in current practice. For example, how to play the role of the government and the market to promote de-capacity, how to promote mixed ownership reform in large state-owned enterprises, how to improve the business environment, attract foreign investment and promote the development of private enterprises, how to make finance better serve the real economy, and so on. The main unit of each case, under the guidance of the supreme leader Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought in the new era, works creatively in close connection with its own reality, effectively transforming the universal requirements of the CPC Central Committee into concrete practice of high-quality development. By studying, studying and thinking about these specific cases, leading cadres at all levels engaged in economic work will be vividly educated and inspired, so that they can practice Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era more effectively in practical work. Leading cadres engaged in other work will also get useful enlightenment by reading this book.

　　It is the initial intention and mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to seek happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Economic development is the foundation of social progress, people’s happiness and national rejuvenation. Promoting high-quality economic development is the only way to realize the party’s initial mission. In the theme education activities of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Remember Mission", organizing cadres, especially leading cadres engaged in economic work, to learn these cases is conducive to promoting the theme education activities to go deeper and achieve practical results, so as to promote the vivid practice of high-quality economic development and realize the party’s initial intention and mission.

1905 movie network news Ben Affleck is expected to star in the tornado movie Falling to Earth, which is adapted from Kate Southwood’s novel of the same name and written by Hillary Seitz ().

The novel was published in 2013. The story took place on March 18th, 1925. Marah, a small town in Illinois, USA, suffered the worst tornado disaster in American history. The whole town was razed to the ground, and hundreds of people were killed, injured and homeless. Only Paul Graves and his family were spared from the disaster and suffered no losses.After the tornado, the graves family gradually accepted their fate and the fact that they were in sharp contrast with their neighbors.

According to the description of the novel, "they watched helplessly as the town was rebuilt from the ruins, and their friends and neighbors began to wonder and resent. How could this family be the only one who survived? As the town began to rebuild and recover, the family misjudged the growing hostility around them, which led to tragic results. "

Once released, Falling into the Earth won high praise from The New York Times and other media. The New York Times called the work "absolutely gorgeous". "The novel has a beautiful structure and a keen psychological description, which is a meditation on various lost emotions."

It is reported that Affleck will direct the film, but at present it is only certain that he will play the leading actor Paul Graves, and the negotiations between the two sides have not been completed. Affleck’s recent film was produced by Netflix, and he has just finished filming "The Road to Return" and "Father’s Last Wish".

Affleck has directed two films, one was released in 2016, and the other won the Oscar for Best Film in 2013. Now he will also star and direct the new version of The Prosecution Witness, and co-produce with his good friend Matt Damon. The film is adapted from agatha christie’s classic novel of the same name. In 1957, the original film was directed by billy wilder, a famous Hollywood director, starring marlene dietrich and Charles Laughton. It is a classic suspense film about court crimes.

At present,"Falling into the Earth" has not yet announced the shooting time and release date.

"Good things don’t need you to remember them deliberately, and they will leave a deep impression on people." At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a few days ago, Li Tianwei, director of the Office of the Leading Group for Ecological Environment Emergency Command of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, used the above words to respond to questions from media reporters about the "12369" environmental reporting hotline.

Since 2001, the "12369" environmental protection hotline has registered and accepted more than 6.7 million complaints and reports for 24 years, which has promoted the solution of pollution problems around a large number of people.

Today, the "12369" hotline has been officially discontinued, but the inheritance of gathering the wisdom of all people and becoming everyone is still continuing.

At the press conference, Li Tianwei introduced that at present, the national ecological environment complaint reporting management platform is becoming a new "connecting bridge" for communication between the masses and the ecological environment departments.

Where is this platform used? How to use it specifically? What you care about, sort it out!

Network operation is convenient and fast.

The reporter learned that after the 12369 environmental hotline in many places was deactivated, it was integrated with the local 12345 government hotline. For local environmental pollution complaints and reports, feedback can be given through the 12345 hotline.

In addition to the hotline, there is also a "National Management Platform for Letters, Visits, Complaints and Reports on Ecological Environment" for the public to report environmental pollution, which is mainly presented through the official website of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the official WeChat channel.

At present, in the "Interactive Exchange Zone" on the official website of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, there are special reporting columns, which are divided into "ecological environment network complaints and reports" and "ecological environment WeChat complaints and reports".

The public clicks into the "eco-environmental network complaints and reports" to see the main page of the "national eco-environmental complaints and reports platform".

Click "I want to report" according to the operation, and then enter the administrative division selection. After selecting the corresponding area, you will enter the details of the report. Here, the reporter should fill in the detailed report information, describe the pollution problem and upload photos. It is worth mentioning that this system is equipped with geographic information, and the public can choose a detailed location for reporting. This is also greatly convenient for follow-up eco-environmental law enforcement officers to receive reports and return visits.

On the official website of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, you can also see the entry of WeChat complaints and reports on the ecological environment, that is, the form of QR code. You can enter the WeChat report page by "sweeping".

After the reporter’s operation, it was found that the WeChat report relied on the geographic information location, which is the real-time location of the reporter. On the WeChat interface, after simply filling in the user information, you can enter the official report page for submission.

The entrance to the WeChat report can also be found quickly in the "Convenience Service" section of WeChat WeChat official account of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.

The above platform reports will prompt that "the accepted reports will be handled by the local ecological and environmental departments".

Keep an eye on the report and do it quickly, and each piece has an echo.

Li Tianwei pointed out at the press conference of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment that in 2023, the number of environmental pollution cases reported through WeChat network reached 250,000, an increase of 8% in the first half of this year, which became an important channel for complaints and reports on ecological environment.

He introduced that WeChat online reporting has three advantages. First, it is more convenient. The public can report at any time and anywhere, without being restricted by mail and working hours.

Second, it is more accurate. When reporting, the public can upload the positioning, photos and problem clues directly to the platform, with more specific content and information.

Third, it is more efficient. The reporting platform is universal throughout the country, and the acceptance of reporting complaints "one-network registration, one-network transfer, one-network processing and one-network reply" is carried out through this platform, which greatly improves the efficiency of case handling and settlement.

For pollution reporting, the eco-environmental department has always adhered to the principle that "reports must be received, cases must be investigated, everything has results, and pieces have echoes". Departments at all levels do their best to do a good job in environmental protection during the college entrance examination, the two sessions, important holidays and major events, and focus on the reports and do them quickly to create a good environmental atmosphere.

"During the college entrance examination this year, we received a total of 176 emergency reports that affected the college entrance examination, especially the reports of noise and stench. We all supervised them in real time, and the local ecological and environmental departments also rushed to the scene at the first time to properly solve the problem." Li Tianwei said.

In the next step, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will give full play to the role of the national ecological environment complaint reporting platform, actively respond to people’s anxieties, hopes and thoughts, promote the solution of the "urgent difficulties and worries" around the people, effectively protect people’s legitimate environmental rights and interests, help fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, and jointly promote the construction of beautiful China.
