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.

Guangzhou Customs cracked 1.355 billion yuan fruit smuggling case.

  Recently, the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Guangzhou Customs, with the assistance of the Anti-smuggling Bureaus of Huangpu, Jiangmen, Kunming and Nanning, launched the "Fighting 28" special campaign to crack down on the smuggling of imported fruits, successfully destroyed three smuggling criminal gangs and arrested 12 suspects, involving a case value of about 1.355 billion yuan.

  The smuggling gang involved in the case has been purchasing mangosteen, longan, durian and other fruits of Thai origin overseas for a long time in the name of a company in Guangzhou, and after transporting them to the borders of Guangxi and Yunnan, the local smuggling gang responsible for customs clearance declared imports through border small-scale trade and general trade by falsely reporting the origin and underreporting the price, and sold them to Guangzhou and other places for profit. In addition, it was found that smuggling gangs smuggled fruits in the border market under the guise of "border residents".

  At present, the case is under further investigation. Guangzhou Customs will resolutely implement the deployment of the special action of "National Sword 2020" of the General Administration of Customs, and resolutely crack down on smuggling crimes by relying on the working mechanism of "smuggling by all staff" to safeguard the "safety at the table" of ordinary people.

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;

(v) Explore the curriculum options of NYC Health Department’s Health Academy of new york Municipal Health Bureau, which is a labor force development center that provides food safety training for food practitioners.

Make a development plan for campus food practitioners

To provide the healthiest and freshest food for students in new york, well-trained practitioners are essential. New york will cooperate with academic circles and the private sector to provide accurate and comprehensive training courses for all school food managers. Training topics include but are not limited to: leadership skills, storage and organization, knife skills, use of tools and equipment, basic cooking skills, menu planning and food preparation.

24 hours in the city | The heavy pilot is on, why are these 15 cities selected?

  Image source: Xinhua News Agency

  According to CCTV news, eight departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, officially issued the "Notice on Launching the First Pilot Area of Fully Electrified Vehicles in the Public Sector" on the 13th.

  After research, 15 cities including Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Ningbo, Xiamen, Jinan, Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Liuzhou, Haikou, Changchun, Yinchuan and Erdos were identified as the pilot cities, and a number of experiences and models that can be replicated and popularized were encouraged to be explored, which will play an exemplary role in the comprehensive market-oriented expansion of new energy vehicles and the construction of green and low-carbon transportation systems.

  The notice specifies three main objectives: the level of vehicle electrification is greatly improved, the service system for charging and replacing electricity is strongly guaranteed, and new technologies and new models are innovatively applied, as well as four key tasks: improving the level of vehicle electrification, promoting the innovative application of new technologies, improving the infrastructure for charging and replacing electricity, and improving policies and management systems.

  In terms of expected targets, new energy vehicles will be promoted in the fields of official vehicles, city buses, sanitation vehicles, taxis, postal express vehicles, urban logistics distribution vehicles, airport vehicles, heavy trucks in specific scenes, etc., with a promotion number of 600,000 vehicles; 700,000 charging piles and 7800 power stations will be built. The pilot content includes charging and replacing electricity, vehicle-network interaction, integration of optical storage, charging and discharging, virtual power plant, green electricity trading and so on.

  Interpretation:Judging from the first batch of shortlisted cities, the types are very diverse, ranging from "spire" cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing and Chengdu to ordinary prefecture-level cities such as Tangshan, Liuzhou and Ordos.

  In fact, giving different cities the opportunity to participate extensively is one of the main considerations in the pilot work. At the beginning of this year, eight departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issued the "Notice on Organizing the Pilot Work of Fully Electrified Vehicles in the Public Sector", which comprehensively considered the economic development level of various provinces and cities, the industrial base of new energy vehicles, the promotion and application situation and other factors, and divided the pilot areas into three categories, and the vehicle promotion objectives of pilot cities in different regions were also different.

  In contrast, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Chengdu and Zhengzhou belong to the first category, and the goal is to promote the number (standard car conversion, the same below) to reach 100,000; Ningbo, Xiamen, Jinan, Shijiazhuang and Tangshan belong to the second category, and the promotion number will strive to reach 60,000 vehicles; Liuzhou, Haikou, Changchun, Yinchuan and Ordos belong to the third category, and the promotion number will strive to reach 20,000 vehicles.

  It is worth mentioning that among the first shortlisted cities, there are 7 southern cities and 8 northern cities. Behind this, there are actually considerations to solve the problem of promoting new energy vehicles in the northern region. At the the State Council policy briefing held in June, Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that while the new energy vehicle market in China is growing rapidly, there are still problems of imbalance and inadequacy.

  Geographically, due to factors such as low-temperature adaptability of power batteries and insufficient charging and replacing facilities, the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in Northeast China and Northwest China are relatively backward, and the number of new energy vehicles in the three northeastern provinces and five northwestern provinces is less than 5% of the national total.

  From the model, the sales growth of new energy commercial vehicles is obviously slower than that of passenger cars. In 2022, new energy commercial vehicles only accounted for 10.2% of the total sales of commercial vehicles, of which medium and heavy trucks accounted for only 2.7%.

  With the opening of this pilot, it will bring new development opportunities to China’s new energy vehicle market, and it is also expected to open a huge blue ocean of growth. According to some calculations, the promotion of new energy vehicles alone is expected to bring hundreds of billions of market space, which does not include the investment increment of charging piles and power stations. For cities, when the demand side is activated, it is also expected to bring new opportunities to the supply side.

The Long March is a manifesto

The Long March is a propaganda team.

Long March is a seeder.

       In October, 1934, the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants began a long March that was arduous and shocked the world. According to statistics, during the Long March, the Central Red Army passed through 11 provinces, crossed 18 mountains, crossed 24 rivers, crossed grasslands and climbed snow-capped mountains, with a journey of about 25,000 miles. Finally, in October 1936, the three main forces of the Red Army joined forces, marking the victory of the Long March and creating a great miracle in human history! Through the Long March, the Communist Party of China (CPC) publicized our Party’s anti-Japanese proposition of going northward, sowed revolutionary kindling in various places along the Long March, and also expanded the influence of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Red Army in the whole country.

Chorus of revolution

The revolution of chorus

       Referring to the response after the premiere of "Song of the Long March", as the original general director, Grandpa Han Rongshi, who is 88 years old this year, said: "The situation at that time is still vivid. After the performance, it was an instant hit and was warmly welcomed. Comrade Zhu Jianer, a musician, wrote an article saying that "Long March Songs" is a chorus of revolution and a revolution of chorus. The chorus of revolution refers to the content of "Long March Songs" and describes the whole process of the Long March. The revolution of chorus is about form. It breaks through the original form of chorus wearing a dress and standing on the stage like a wall, adding performances, actions and scenes, which is very visual and makes the audience enjoy and be satisfied.

Biodiversity is not only the foundation of sustainable development, but also the goal and means

  Supreme Leader: Biodiversity is not only the foundation of sustainable development, but also the goal and means. We must use the way of nature to nourish all things, seek development opportunities from the protection of nature, and achieve a win-win situation for ecological and environmental protection and high-quality economic development.

  This sentence is from the important speech delivered by the Supreme Leader President at the United Nations Biodiversity Summit on September 30, 2020.

  Biodiversity is the result of billions of years of development and evolution of life on earth, and has important ecological, economic and cultural values for human survival and development. Protecting and restoring biodiversity and improving the diversity, stability and sustainability of ecosystems are conducive to improving our living environment, increasing food and resource supply, and promoting sustainable economic and social development. Conversely, if biodiversity is lost, ecosystems will be out of balance and human survival and development will lose an important foundation.

  China has a vast territory, land and sea, and has given birth to rich and unique ecosystems, species and genetic diversity. As one of the countries with the richest biodiversity in the world, China has always attached great importance to biodiversity conservation. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s ecological civilization thought, all localities have adhered to ecological priority and green development, and continuously strengthened and innovated biodiversity protection measures.

  为了保护重要自然生态系统和生物资源,目前,我国把超过30%的陆域国土面积划为生态保护红线,可有效保护90%的陆地生态系统类型和74%的国家重点保护野生动植物种群。经过多年移民搬迁和生态修复,我国设立的第一批5个国家公园有效保护了东北虎、大熊猫等珍稀野生动物及其栖息地,成为万物和谐共生的美好家园。同时,为保护一些濒危物种,我国相继设立国家植物园、野生动物救护繁育基地、种质资源库、基因库等,加大对濒危野生动植物的迁地保护,加强对生物遗传资源的收集保存。为保护候鸟迁徙通道,许多地方加强当地湿地保护,让水草丰茂的栖息地成为候鸟迁徙途中的重要“驿站”。随着生物多样性保护宣传教育和科普活动持续开展,公众参与生物多样性保护的方式更加多元化,参与度全面提高……经过不断探索,我们走出了一条中国特色生物多样性保护之路,各地也在保护自然中逐渐找到适合自身的发展机遇。比如,一些地方在国家公园以外的周边地区发展生态旅游业、林下经济等,让从保护区搬迁出来的当地百姓端上“绿饭碗”,吃上“生态饭”。

  中国式现代化是人与自然和谐共生的现代化。尊重自然、顺应自然、保护自然,是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的内在要求。新征程上,我们要把生物多样性保护作为生态文明建设重要内容,既总结好已有经验、巩固好已有基础,又不断探索创新保护方式,持续推进生物多样性治理体系和治理能力现代化,进而持续改善自然生态系统状况,提高生态产品供给能力,实现自然生态系统良性循环,不断满足人民日益增长的对优美生态环境需求。

It is said that the developer will not be allowed to collect the gas account opening fee in violation of regulations. Is there any reason?

  CCTV News:In September this year, the Nanxian Supervision Committee of the Nanxian Discipline Inspection Committee of Yiyang City, Hunan Province received reports from many people that the commercial house they bought in Lakeview New City was charged a gas account opening fee of 2,200 yuan by the developer in violation of regulations. In fact, Hunan Province has issued regulations in early 2017, and developers are not allowed to charge users a separate gas account opening fee. Then, why will the developers of Lakeview New Town continue to charge this fee?

  The developer of Lakeview New Town is Nanxian Huida Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. There are 6 buildings in the first phase, which have been sold out, and 5 buildings in the second phase have been capped. From December 2017 to March 2019, every time the developer sells a set of commercial housing, it will charge 2,200 yuan to the buyers separately, and a total of 2,862,200 yuan will be charged to 1,301 buyers.

  Hu Dan, financial officer of Nanxian Huida Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.:We don’t know that this is unacceptable. We don’t know that there is a document later, that is, it should be included in the development cost, because it was not included in the development cost before, and it can be collected outside, and then we will remit it.

  However, as early as February 2017, before the sale of real estate, the Hunan Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the Measures for the Administration of Pipeline Gas Prices in Hunan Province, which stipulated that the installation fees of new commercial housing pipeline gas courtyard pipe network and indoor pipeline were included in the development and construction costs, and the commercial housing developers settled with the gas operating enterprises according to the regulations of the competent price department, and no longer charged separately to users.

  Song Xianghua, member of the Standing Committee of Discipline Inspection Committee of Nanxian County, Yiyang City:According to our investigation, at least in the process of price filing, those managers should be aware of this policy, because they have already filed the relevant expenses of gas into the house price when filing; And according to our understanding, the price department also publicized this policy with them during the filing process.

  Inadequate supervision leads to illegal charges by developers.

  In January this year, Nanxian Real Estate Management Bureau, Development and Reform Bureau and other four departments jointly carried out special rectification of the real estate market order. However, in this inspection, the relevant departments did not carefully check and supervise the collection of water, electricity, gas and other fees for the property. After the problem was verified, the Supervision Committee of Nanxian Commission for Discipline Inspection ordered Nanxian Market Supervision Bureau to handle it according to law. At present, 1,100 buyers have received refunds, and the relevant person in charge of the price supervision department has also been dealt with.

  During the investigation, the discipline inspection and supervision team found that during the sale of commercial housing, the developer had submitted a clearly marked book for the filing and filing of the sales price of commercial housing in Nanxian County to the relevant departments. The price list shows that the average selling price is 4,080 yuan per square meter, which includes the infrastructure for the sale of commercial housing, while the project collected and remitted by the developer does not include the gas account opening fee. However, through careful comparison, the discipline inspection and supervision team found that although the developer promised the relevant departments not to charge the gas fee, the Commercial House Sales Contract signed with the owner stipulated that the total price of the commercial house did not include the construction fee of the gas pipeline network facilities, which should be borne by the buyer.

  Developers charge fees in violation of regulations. As the price supervision department, the original price inspection unit of Nanxian Development and Reform Bureau has been assigned to the County Market Supervision Administration, but problems have not been found in time in daily supervision.

  Refunded 1,100 supervisors were dealt with.

  On September 23, Nanxian Market Supervision Bureau issued a Notice of Ordering Refund to Hujing New Town developer Huida Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., ordering the company to refund the illegally charged gas account opening fee to the buyers. The reporter saw in the property office of Hujing New Town that a gas refund office has been set up here, and buyers can get a refund with their ID cards and purchase contracts.

  Owner Cao Hui:When we took the house, the property said that the gas fee would not be available. We are in the countryside and have no pension. For us, 2200 is our living expenses for half a year.

  In the special rectification work in January this year, the relevant personnel in charge of price supervision have been given administrative warning by the Supervision Committee of Nanxian Commission for Discipline Inspection for violating work discipline.

Indian netizens accused the United States of putting "hypocrisy" and "untrustworthiness" on the public screen.

  On 26th, local time, India announced the latest COVID-19 epidemic situation in the country.

  As of 8: 00 on the same day, in the past 24 hours, India has added 352,991 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with a total of 17,313,163 confirmed cases. In the past three days, India has added more confirmed cases; There were 2812 new deaths and 195123 cumulative deaths.In the past three days,The cumulative number of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in India has exceeded one million. The newly confirmed and dead cases have once again set a new record in this country.

  The epidemic situation in India continued to worsen, and the cumulative number of newly diagnosed cases exceeded one million in three days.

  According to local media reports, the epidemic in India has been in the losing stage. In the capital, New Delhi, almost every 300 seconds, one person will die because of COVID-19.

  According to the analysis of many foreign media, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 in India is so serious. On the one hand, the successful research and development of various vaccines led to the relaxation of epidemic prevention in India. On the other hand, the United States, as an important importer of medical raw materials in India, started the National Defense Production Law early, and restricted the export of vaccine raw materials for a long time, which led to the lack of medical care and medicine in India.

  India urgently needs vaccine raw materials, but the United States turns a deaf ear.

  △ Adar Poonawalla, CEO of the Indian Serum Institute, posted a message on social media, "pleading" with US President Biden to lift the ban on the export of vaccine raw materials in India.

  The world’s largest vaccine manufacturer — — Adar Poonawalla, CEO of India Serum Research Institute, posted a message on social media on April 16th, "pleading" Biden’s government to lift the ban on India’s export of vaccine raw materials in order to increase India’s vaccine production. Reuters also revealed earlier that the foreign ministers of India and the United States also mentioned lifting the import ban during their talks on April 19th. However, the United States has never responded to this.

  △ the State Council spokesperson Price

  It was not until 22nd that a reporter’s question at the White House press conference broke the silence of the United States for the first time, although the United States was still pushing each other.

  According to the minutes of the press conference that day, US State Department spokesman Ned Price first pushed the question to the Office of the US Trade Representative in response, saying that it was within their authority. After facing the reporter’s unrelenting questioning, Price said "the truth".

  △ US local media reported that at the press conference that day, Price once again emphasized "US priority" and refused to export vaccine raw materials to India on this ground.

  Price first said that the United States focused on controlling the epidemic in the United States, giving priority to vaccinating the American people, and stressed that the American approach was "ambitious", "fruitful" and "successful". Later, he continued to argue: "We do this for several reasons. First, we have a special responsibility to the American people. Second, in the United States alone, more than 550,000 people have died and tens of millions have been infected. The American people have been hit harder by the epidemic than other countries in the world. " Finally, he concluded: "It is not only in the interests of the United States to vaccinate Americans, but also in the interests of other countries in the world."

  Indian media criticized the United States for making "vague verbal promises"

  △ "The Times of India" published an article entitled "The United States made vague verbal commitments because it was criticized for turning a deaf ear to the COVID-19 epidemic in India" on the 23rd.

  This speech instantly detonated the anger in India. The Times of India issued a document for two consecutive days, criticizing the U.S. government for turning a deaf ear to the Indian epidemic, saying that the so-called guarantee of the United States is only a "vague verbal promise" and pointing out that the Biden administration has done almost nothing except verbal sympathy.

  △ "The Times of India" published another article on the 24th, saying that the Biden administration was cold-hearted about India’s urgent need for COVID-19 vaccine raw materials.

  According to a report by Washington post on the 24th, only 1.4% people in India have been vaccinated, and overcrowded hospitals are facing the problem of lack of oxygen, while the United States is enjoying a spring full of vaccines. What makes the Indian people even more angry is that the United States would rather throw the extra vaccine in the warehouse like this than export the raw materials for vaccine production to India.

  △ The New York Times reported on March 11 that the United States is sitting on the tens of millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine that the world urgently needs.

  On March 11th, The New York Times quoted an official familiar with the matter as saying that more than 30 million doses of vaccine were idle in a warehouse in Ohio, USA, and no one had ever used it. The Axios News Network of the United States commented that "when billions of people around the world are anxiously waiting for vaccines, 30 million doses of vaccines are eating ash in Ohio warehouses."

  Indian netizens accused the US of being "hypocritical", "diplomatic rhetoric" and "untrustworthy"

  △ Indian netizens accuse the United States of selfish behavior

  Under the video of Price’s speech, an Indian netizen commented, "History will remember that a country with a population of 1.4 billion has helped more than 90 countries, while a so-called superpower is sitting on piles of vaccines. We won’t forget it, @ President of the United States ".

  △ Indian netizens talked about India’s previous aid to COVID-19 drugs in the United States, but now the United States has turned a blind eye to India.

  A netizen even turned over the old account and left a message: "When India itself was experiencing a serious COVID-19 epidemic, the United States successfully obtained hydroxychloroquine from India (which was previously considered as a specific drug for treating COVID-19, but was later confirmed by WHO to be almost ineffective). Now the United States is still banning the supply of vaccine raw materials to India. Obviously, the United States has become the most untrustworthy country on earth. "

  In the case of accusations from all sides and the growing epidemic in India, it was not until the 25th that US President Biden and Vice President Harris began to formally respond, saying that they would provide assistance to India.

  △ The Vice President of the United States posted a message on his personal social account on 25th local time, saying that he would support India in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.

  However, the Indian people who have been deceived and ignored for a long time obviously don’t buy it. A large number of Indian netizens commented that this move is still "hypocritical", "diplomatic rhetoric" and "untrustworthy", and they are still full of doubts about the US statement.

  △ Indian netizens said that Harris’s move was just diplomatic rhetoric and could not be trusted.

  △ Indian netizens replied that we need more details. Please don’t continue to publish such diplomatic rhetoric. We need actions, not "so-called statements".

  The epidemic situation of COVID-19 in India is getting more and more serious, but the aid of the United States is far away

  While the Indian people are still waiting for American aid in the epidemic, the epidemic in India has developed into a frightening situation.

  △ABC reported that the epidemic situation in India continued to intensify, and crematoriums in many places had been cremated by burning bodies in the open air.

  According to foreign media reports, in some crematoriums in India, the metal parts began to melt because of the long running time of gas stoves and wood stoves, and cremation stoves were damaged because of too many bodies to be burned. A large number of bodies could only be burned in the most primitive way. In many hospitals in India, there have been many suffocation accidents caused by lack of oxygen recently.

  △ CNN published on the 26 th entitled "The COVID-19 epidemic in India is more severe. Two of the US diplomats in India died and more than 100 people tested positive for COVID-19."

  CNN quoted diplomats working in the US Embassy in India as saying: All the staff were deeply frustrated, and even the staff of the US Embassy could only get vague statements before the actual assistance from the United States arrived.
