Decoding the central environmental protection inspector: from checking enterprises to supervising government

  Decode the central environmental protection inspector

  The Central Environmental Protection Inspector changed the traditional environmental supervision mode in China from inspecting enterprises to supervising government. Environmental protection inspectors emphasize that "the party and government share the same responsibility" and "one post and two responsibilities", which means that local party committees accept supervision together with the government, and the inspection results are an important basis for the assessment, evaluation and appointment of leading cadres.

  Environmental protection is a hot word in recent years. Among them, the central environmental protection inspector group, known as the "environmental protection imperial envoy", is undoubtedly the most concerned. "Carry out central environmental protection inspectors and seriously investigate and deal with illegal cases" was written into the 2018 Government Work Report.

  Since the pilot project of environmental protection inspectors in Hebei Province was launched in December 2015, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group conducted inspections in another 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in four batches in July and November 2016 and April and August 2017, achieving full coverage of inspectors in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country.

  In the first round, the central environmental protection inspector filed a total of 29,000 cases to punish enterprises, with a fine of about 1.43 billion yuan; 1,518 cases were investigated and 1,527 people were detained; Interviewed 18,448 party and government leading cadres and held 18,199 accountable.

  In the past, the Ministry of Environmental Protection also took the lead in environmental monitoring, but the monitoring object was usually enterprises, and the problems solved were partial. On July 1, 2015, the 14th meeting of the Central Leading Group for Comprehensive Deepening Reform deliberated and adopted the Environmental Protection Supervision Scheme (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the Supervision Scheme), and took the places with outstanding environmental problems, frequent major environmental incidents and poor implementation of environmental protection responsibilities as the preliminary inspection targets.

  The inspection work will be carried out in the form of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group. The inspection targets are provincial and municipal party committees and governments and their relevant departments, and will sink to some municipal party committees and government departments. Environmental protection inspectors emphasize that "the party and the government share the same responsibility" and "one post and two responsibilities", which means that local party committees accept supervision together with the government, and the inspection results serve as an important basis for the assessment and evaluation of the appointment and dismissal of leading cadres.

  The commentary believes that the central environmental protection inspector has changed the traditional environmental supervision mode in China from inspecting enterprises to supervising government, which has become a major change.

  Since the central environmental protection inspector started more than two years ago, various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have issued or revised more than 240 policies, regulations and system standards for ecological environmental protection, among which Shandong, Hainan, Sichuan and Tibet have issued documents to include environmental protection in the assessment and evaluation of cadres’ due diligence. All the 31 provinces that have conducted inspections have issued documents on the division of responsibilities for environmental protection, environmental protection supervision plans, and implementation measures for investigating the responsibility of leading cadres of the party and government for ecological environmental damage.

  In 2018, the second round of central environmental protection inspectors will be launched soon. According to the preliminary plan, the "looking back" of the first round of inspectors will become the top priority in 2018. In addition, it will also guide local governments to establish a provincial-level environmental protection supervision system, realize the central and provincial-level supervision system and mechanism of the state supervising provinces and provinces supervising cities and counties, give play to the linkage effect of supervision, form a long-term mechanism of environmental protection supervision, and maintain the high-pressure situation of environmental protection.

  From checking enterprises to supervising government.

  In August 2017, the fourth batch of central environmental protection inspectors was launched, and eight central environmental protection inspectors were responsible for the inspectors stationed in Jilin, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hainan, Sichuan, Tibet, Qinghai and Xinjiang (including the Corps).

  As in the past, before the launch, the media announced the names of the eight group leaders and deputy heads of this batch of inspectors, as well as the report phone numbers.

  The eight team leaders are Jiao Huancheng, Wu Xinxiong, Ma Zhongping, Jia Zhibang, Zhu Zhixin, Jiang Jufeng, Yang Song and Li Jiaxiang. They all work in the National People’s Congress or Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and they are all provincial and ministerial officials. It is understood that the leader of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group generally meets the above two conditions. In addition, the officials themselves must be experienced and have a high theoretical level.

  The deputy heads of these four batches and 31 groups are all in-service deputy ministers of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. It is understood that this is also the relevant regulations of the central environmental protection inspector.

  Generally speaking, each central environmental protection inspector group usually has about 30 people. Except for the team leader and deputy team leader, the team members are basically from the corresponding area.

  As a public institution of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, six inspection centers in East China, South China, Northwest China, Southwest China, Northeast China and North China have been established successively. The centers mainly undertake the functions of strengthening environmental protection supervision and law enforcement, responding to environmental emergencies and coordinating cross-provincial pollution disputes.

  In 2017, the six inspection centers were renamed as inspection bureaus, and the institutions were changed into dispatched institutions of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. Among the institutional functions, the function of "undertaking the relevant work of the central environmental protection inspector" has been added.

  Generally speaking, the members of different central environmental protection inspection teams are composed of the staff of the Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Environmental Protection in the area according to the area where the inspected province belongs. When manpower is insufficient, manpower will also be transferred from the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other district supervision bureaus.

  In addition, there is a general coordinator in the personnel composition. Generally speaking, the coordinator is generally served by the relevant leaders of the Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Environmental Protection under the supervision province.

  After the inspector group is stationed, it usually carries out a one-month central environmental protection inspector. Yu Guodong, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of Chongqing Environmental Protection Bureau, told China Newsweek that in 2016, during the 30-day stay in Chongqing, the Fifth Environmental Protection Inspector Group of the Central Committee did not rest, including weekends.

  The outside world believes that the central environmental protection inspector has realized the transformation from inspecting enterprises to supervising government, which is conducive to the implementation of the requirements of "party and government sharing responsibilities" and "one post and two responsibilities". The process of central environmental protection supervision is indeed closely related to supervision.

  Liu Changgen, deputy director of the State Environmental Protection Supervision Office, once summarized the steps of the central environmental protection supervision into three stages when interviewed by the media.

  The first stage is the provincial level inspector, which takes about ten days. Inspectors at the provincial level mainly carry out individual talks with provincial leaders and the main leaders of relevant departments at the provincial level, read the information of provincial party committees and governments and relevant departments, visit relevant departments mainly responsible for environmental protection, and accept letters and visits and reports. Through these methods, we can grasp the overall situation of environmental protection work in the province, focus on outstanding problems, and lay the foundation for the next inspector.

  During the inspection in Hebei Province, the inspector group had individual talks with 26 provincial leaders, including the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor, some provincial leaders who recently quit their leadership positions, and also the main leaders of the provincial high-level law and high-level inspection. The inspector group designed the conversation, and each question was highly targeted.

  The questions include: what do you think are the main outstanding environmental problems in your province, where do you think the environmental problems are the most prominent, and the responsibilities are not in place. "Some leaders of relevant departments have targeted questions, such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and some cases involving the elimination of backward production capacity may be questioned."

  Yu Guodong, deputy director of Chongqing Environmental Protection Bureau, told China Newsweek that the inspector group had talked with the leaders of four teams and the top leaders of relevant departments in Chongqing to learn about the formulation of policies related to environmental protection and the implementation of their duties. "If you find a problem during the inspection, you will go back and talk to this person. In short, it is an in-depth investigation."

  The second stage is the inspector of the sinking city. The sinking inspector is aimed at the problem clues sorted out by the inspector preparation and the provincial inspector, and sinks to some cities for investigation, evidence collection and verification. It mainly depends on whether these problems are true and where the responsibility lies. The time is also about ten days.

  There are about a hundred clues to the problem, which are not only sorted out by provincial inspectors, but also prepared for inspectors. Most of these pre-prepared questions come from the daily understanding of the environmental problems in the provinces under the supervision of the Supervision Bureau, and some come from the clues of letters and visits received by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in the past.

  Yu Guodong introduced that the clues held by the Supervision Bureau are often independent. Even when not in the period of central environmental protection supervision, the Supervision Bureau often goes directly to the cities to investigate relevant clues without going through the provincial environmental protection departments.

  According to Liu Changgen, before the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group was stationed, relevant personnel would make unannounced visits, find out the situation and find clues, and form a list of questions and a stationing manual.

  In addition to these clues, during the inspection period, each inspector group set up a special duty telephone and post office box to receive letters and calls from the environmental protection department of the inspected province, and most of these problems were handed over to the environmental protection department of the province for solution.

  Yu Guodong introduced that, generally speaking, incoming calls and reports will be handed over to the localities by the inspector group on the same day, and the local environmental protection departments will also hand them over on the same day according to the localities or departments involved in the problem and settle them within the specified time. Both the problem itself and the result of the treatment should be publicized. If the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group has finished the inspection in this province, all incoming letters and calls must be handled with feedback within one week after the end.

  It is understood that in the process of four batches of central environmental protection inspectors that have been completed, a total of 135,000 reports have been accepted by the masses, and some repeated cases have been removed. After the merger, 104,000 pieces have been handed over to the local authorities. As of October 2017, 102,000 pieces have been settled, and the settlement rate at that time exceeded 98%. About 80,000 of them are related to garbage, oil fume, odor, noise, enterprise pollution and black and odorous water problems.

  Pan Biling, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of Hunan Provincial Environmental Protection Department, told China Newsweek that in order to understand the deep-seated causes of these problems, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection took the lead in organizing six groups, which were responsible for the investigation and accountability of the responsibilities of the Party Committee and government and relevant departments behind the environmental problems reflected by different people during the stationing of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group.

  hold sb accountable

  The third stage of the inspector is to sort out, analyze and file. Liu Changgen said that on the one hand, it is to sort out the work in the first two stages and form some basic viewpoints and reporting frameworks. At the same time, according to needs, it is also possible to collect evidence for outstanding problems in unsinkable cities and carry out targeted supplementary inspections. In addition, the documents and materials involved in the work should be filed, and those returned should be returned and those taken away.

  Generally speaking, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group will give feedback to the inspected provinces in a few months. The central environmental protection inspectors in Guangdong Province and Chongqing City were conducted from November to December 2016, and the feedback was received in April of the following year. The central environmental protection inspector in Hunan Province was conducted from April to May 2017, and the feedback was received in July of that year.

  Liu Changgen mentioned that the inspector’s report focuses on sorting out problems and investigating cases of responsibility for ecological environmental damage. In general, 70% of each inspector’s report is about problems, 20% is about achievements, and 10% is about suggestions.

  At present, the inspector reports received by all provinces have been made public. These inspectors’ reports are full of sharp words. For example, when the Central Fourth Environmental Protection Inspector Group gave feedback to Hainan Province, it pointed out that "some localities and departments in Hainan are complacent about the unique ecological environment in the province and blindly complacent, thinking that a good natural environment means a good job. Some cities and counties attach importance to economic development and neglect environmental protection, and are keen to engage in ‘ Short, flat and fast ’ The quick-acting performance project, the finance relies too much on real estate. "

  The Ministry of Environmental Protection introduced at the press conference that four batches of environmental protection inspectors found six common problems in environmental protection in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). First, the atmospheric and water environment problems in some areas are outstanding; Second, the construction of environmental governance infrastructure is seriously lagging behind; Third, some nature reserves are illegally approved and illegally built; Fourth, over-exploitation of water resources; Fifth, the problem of industrial pollution is still outstanding; Sixth, rural environmental problems are more prominent. "These problems are related to China’s development stage, and also have a lot to do with local party committees and governments’ lack of attention, inaction and responsibility."

  According to the regulations, after receiving feedback, all provinces will study and formulate rectification plans and submit them to the State Council within 30 working days. The rectification plan and the implementation of rectification should be disclosed to the public in a timely manner.

  Subsequently, the provinces detailed the problems pointed out by the inspector group one by one, listed the rectification measures, deadlines and objectives in detail, and also stipulated the members and responsible persons of the rectification leading group. According to Liu Changgen, about half of the provinces are headed by the main leaders of the party and government, and the rest are headed by the main leaders of the party Committee or government.

  Relevant departments at all levels immediately formulated specific rectification plans, with the main leaders of the party and government as the first responsible person. These rectification plans are reported to the province for the record as the basis for rectification of sales numbers and dispatching evaluation. In order to supervise the progress of rectification, Hunan Province implemented the following measures: scheduling on January 1st, supervising on January 1st, informing on February 1st, and commenting on March 1st. If the rectification is not promoted effectively, the rectification work is not implemented properly, the progress is obviously lagging behind, and the problems are still outstanding, measures such as exposure, notification, interview, accountability, listing supervision, and regional approval restriction will be taken as appropriate.

  According to the rectification plan of each province, the State Environmental Protection Inspector’s Office will follow up the rectification progress.

  In addition to the rectification of related issues, a very important reason why the central environmental protection inspector is called "an imperial envoy for environmental protection" is that the inspector group will hold relevant personnel accountable. The inspector’s feedback received by Hunan Province also includes the list of issues of accountability for ecological environmental damage sorted out by the inspector group.

  "The central environmental protection inspector is a comprehensive inspector, and it is ‘ Great environmental protection ’ The concept, so whether it is the environmental protection department or other departments, as long as they are dereliction of duty, they must be held accountable. " Liu Changgen said that the scope of accountability not only covers the insiders of the environmental protection system, but also includes local party and government, state-owned enterprises, grassroots communities, land, forestry, water conservancy, housing construction, agriculture, urban management, safety supervision, industrial credit, transportation, public security, development and reform, tourism and other departments related to environmental protection.

  Accountability will undoubtedly play a deterrent role. The data shows that the first round of central environmental protection inspectors has filed a total of 29,000 cases to punish enterprises, with a fine of about 1.43 billion yuan; 1,518 cases were investigated and 1,527 people were detained; Interviewed 18,448 party and government leading cadres and held 18,199 accountable.

  According to the deployment of the central government, in 2018, local governments will be guided to establish a provincial-level environmental protection supervision system, realize the central and provincial-level supervision system and mechanism of the state supervising provinces and provinces supervising cities and counties, give play to the linkage effect of supervision, form a long-term mechanism of environmental protection supervision, and maintain the high-pressure situation of environmental protection.

  This is also related to the reform of the vertical management system of monitoring, supervision and law enforcement of environmental protection institutions below the provincial level.

  In September 2016, the General Offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council issued the Guiding Opinions on the Pilot Reform of Vertical Management System for Monitoring, Supervision and Law Enforcement of Environmental Protection Institutions below the provincial level, which proposed that the environmental monitoring functions of environmental protection departments at the city and county levels should be taken over by the pilot provinces, which should be uniformly exercised by the provincial environmental protection departments, and environmental monitoring should be carried out through stationing in cities or across cities and counties.

  The social environmental protection system has yet to be established.

  At present, environmental protection inspectors have formed a trend of high pressure and normalization, but there are still some problems. To this end, the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party put forward a party proposal on further strengthening and perfecting the central environmental protection inspector.

  When talking about this proposal, Pan Biling, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Hunan Provincial Environmental Protection Department, pointed out that, as proposed by the Democratic Progressive Party Central Committee, the composition of the central environmental protection inspector, except for the team leader, is all from the environmental protection system, which easily gives other departments the illusion that the central environmental protection inspector is still an environmental protection inspector, or at least can only be regarded as an environmental protection inspector under the leadership of the central government.

  "When we cooperated with the central environmental protection inspector, some leaders of other departments told me that this was doing things for our environmental protection department. The central environmental protection inspector is the inspector of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to the provincial party committees and governments, not the inspector of the Ministry of Environmental Protection to the provincial party committees and governments. However, due to the current situation of organizational structure, some people will have such misunderstandings. "

  And it also raises the second question. Pan Biling believes that although one post and two responsibilities are emphasized at present, the relevant ministries and commissions such as the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Water Resources have not participated in supervision and supervision, and the sense of responsibility and pressure transmission of relevant local departments are not enough.

  In addition, Pan Biling pointed out that at present, although many provinces have included environmental protection in the evaluation of cadres’ due diligence, 31 provinces that have conducted inspections have introduced implementation measures for investigating the responsibility of party and government leading cadres for ecological environmental damage, but these evaluation systems are still limited.

  "Some cadres may think that this has little impact, but only appropriate deduction points are assessed, which is not a one-vote veto. There are still relatively few cases that really have an impact on the use of leading cadres. After all, this kind of accountability has not yet caused widespread pain. "

  In addition, another member from Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, who did not want to be named and had participated in the Central Environmental Protection Inspector, suggested that the more important issue was how to fundamentally solve environmental problems.

  At present, party and government leaders at all levels have paid unprecedented attention to environmental protection, promoted it and produced results, but how to consolidate the achievements and carry out it in a long-term and institutionalized way is a difficult problem.

  Pan Biling believes that there is a new formalism, which implements documents with documents and meetings with meetings. "The problem of people’s complaints can be solved in a week or half a month. But this solution is short-term. Environmental pollution control can’t be solved just by implementing responsibilities. In the long run, it must rely on funds and project management. This requires the government to increase investment, but it is not enough to rely on the government alone. It also requires the participation of enterprises and even the whole society. "

  At present, there is a great pressure on environmental governance funds at the grassroots level. "In many places, it is very good to guarantee the basic livelihood, and there is no spare money for environmental protection. It is not enough to implement responsibilities and convey pressure at all levels. " He suggested that the government should continue to increase the proportion of capital investment in environmental protection.

  Yu Guodong also said that many places are facing the adjustment of industrial structure because of environmental pollution. This requires the cooperation of various government departments, guiding the development of green industries in this region, giving subsidies in funds, giving support in policies, and even coordinating and bridging the gap between local governments.

  In addition, Pan Biling also pointed out that environmental pollution is not only caused by enterprises, but also by everyone. For example, driving, eating barbecue, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, and even daily life may all cause the discharge of waste gas and wastewater.

  However, some environmentalists pointed out that for the people, there should be good schools and public hospitals next to the new real estate, but there should be no garbage disposal facilities and sewage treatment facilities. When the real estate is sold, it is afraid to publicize that there are such facilities around. During the construction, the people complained or directly asked to stop work. There is indeed a big gap in the facilities in China.

  It can be said that the environmental protection system of the whole social system has not been fully established. Pan Biling believes that China must make great changes in the system and mechanism, capital investment and other aspects, and the improvement of environmental quality can achieve remarkable results.

Call on childhood! The roadshow "Zhu Tong lost his superpowers in the third grade" ended.


1905 movie network news Recently, the films produced by producer, chief producer, director and screenwriter held "Childhood is Calling" university-theater roadshows in Beijing and Shanghai, respectively, to share childhood memories and exchange experiences with the audience.The film will be shown in the second round from May 18th to 19th, and will be released nationwide on May 25th.



Child brother and child sister PK broadcast gymnastics heated bombing field 

College students empathize with each other and talk about themselves as children.


Molly, the director/screenwriter of the film Zhu Tong lost his superpowers in the third grade, attended the roadshow with Yue Hao, the leading role. The friendship in the film appeared, and also appeared in the event as a surprise, which brought a heart-wrenching output. Ye Liu said: "I was originally substituted into the children’s world from an adult perspective, and I remembered that I was a child on the way to the movie." Molly, the director, said that he was very similar to Zhu Tong in his childhood, and he would also experience an unforgettable penalty station when he was in primary school. Teachers often waited until he consciously stood up before giving lectures, laughing as if he had been "sacrificed" by a "priest" … … Make the audience smile.

Not only that, the soundtrack of "Time is Calling" radio gymnastics was also played at the scene. Many children, brothers and sisters came on stage to dance radio exercises with Yue Hao, the main star, and the memory killing suddenly struck, completely igniting the atmosphere at the scene. The small audience of "Social Cow" took the initiative to take the stage to teach and write a composition, and the childlike and sincere speech made many viewers call it "cute". In the movie, Zhu Tong fantasized for many times that he participated in the radio exercise competition and won the trophy. In order to give Zhu Tong a dream, the college students who brushed the movie specially prepared a trophy for Yue Hao, and the director substituted it for the role of a physical education teacher to award the prize. Yue Hao restored Zhu Tong’s imaginary movements in the movie and raised the trophy, which made many people moved.


The film not only tells the story of a primary school student’s unrestrained day, but also awakens the childhood feelings of every adult who is drifting away from childhood through Zhu Tong’s story. College students sent a handwritten letter to Yue Hao, the main character. "When I was a child, it looked like the sky collapsed, but when I grew up, I found it was nothing more than that." The warm words were full of healing, which was not only a letter from the audience to Zhu Tong, but also a message from an adult to myself who was carefully afraid of making mistakes when I was a child. At the end of each road show, the audience will stick the word "good" on their palms to take a group photo as a souvenir. This is not only a clever echo of the film content, but also a heartfelt blessing from the film to the audience to laugh at life, regain their childhood superpowers and be happy children.


The audience deeply resonated with Zhu Tong and choked several times. 

On-site heart-to-heart output continues, and word of mouth continues to rise.


Many viewers sympathized with Zhu Tong after watching the movie and sincerely shed tears, saying that "Zhu Tong is just a student without aura in the eyes of the teacher, but in Zhu Tong’s eyes, the teacher’s encouragement is his recognition … …” I felt "for a moment, I saw myself as a child". Although childhood has ended, the film briefly set up a time tunnel in 98 minutes, allowing stressed adults to pull away from the fatigue of "pretending to be adults". There was constant laughter at the scene, and the audience said that "adults’ jokes are more secret than children’s". There are many parents and children watching movies together at the roadshow, and even three generations came together to "reminisce" with their childhood. One mother said emotionally, "As a parent, I think I can introduce my childhood to my children".

In addition, many teachers felt deeply after watching the film, and thought that "as a teacher, we should pay more attention to children who are slow to shoot like Zhu Tong, and each child has his own bright spot". More loyal fans of drama directed by Molly gathered at the ticket stub, and commented that the film "let us see something from the perspective of adults that we couldn’t see when we were children" and "replaced the common techniques in drama creation, which was very playful and humorous".


Just like the movie slogan "Pretending to be an adult is tired? Be a child for a day! " Similarly, the film has the magic power to let people see the world from the perspective of children again. While recalling the campus time easily in laughter, it reflects the children in everyone’s heart like a mirror, salvaging the beautiful and pure imprint of the past in the grotesque brain hole of cocoa love, and welcoming the wonderful intersection with the time and space of childhood. Taking this opportunity, children can see their parents’ childhood appearance and adults can embrace themselves.

Answers from the heads of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Strictly punish the crime of environmental pollution by hazar

Severely punish the crime of environmental pollution by hazardous waste and earnestly fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control.
-The heads of relevant departments of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment answered questions from reporters.

Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Party pointed out that nature is the basic condition for human survival and development. Respecting nature, conforming to nature and protecting nature are the inherent requirements of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. In recent years, law enforcement and judicial departments have further promoted the prevention and control of environmental pollution, severely cracked down on illegal crimes in the field of destroying the ecological environment according to law, and organized a series of special actions, which have achieved good results. In order to thoroughly implement the supreme leader’s thought of ecological civilization and the supreme leader’s thought of rule of law, continue to maintain the high-pressure situation of cracking down on environmental crimes and consolidate the achievements of special actions, today, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, together with the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, issued seven typical cases of severely punishing hazardous waste environmental crimes according to law. Relevant persons in charge of the First Procuratorate Office of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ecological Environment Law Enforcement Bureau of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment answered questions from reporters.

Question 1: What are the considerations for this joint release of typical cases?

Person in charge of the First Procuratorate of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate: This time, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, together with the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, jointly issued seven typical cases of severely punishing environmental crimes caused by hazardous wastes according to law, mainly considering the following:

The first is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the battle against pollution in accordance with the law. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "To protect the ecological environment, we must rely on the system and the rule of law" and "make the system a rigid constraint and an untouchable high-voltage line". In order to further improve the law enforcement and judicial work of ecological environment in the new era, the three departments have jointly launched the special action of "cracking down on environmental crimes of hazardous wastes and falsification of automatic monitoring data of key pollutant discharge units" for four consecutive years, and the high incidence of related environmental crimes has been curbed. The joint release of typical cases shows that law enforcement and judicial organs have joined hands to crack down on illegal environmental crimes such as illegal discharge, dumping, collection, storage, transfer, utilization and disposal of hazardous wastes and falsification of automatic monitoring data of pollutants discharged by key pollutant discharge units, so as to continuously meet the growing needs of the people’s beautiful ecological environment and make green mountains and green mountains benefit the people’s descendants.

The second is to strengthen the guidance on handling criminal cases in the field of environmental damage. Environmental crimes are characterized by specialization and chain. In handling criminal cases, problems such as strong professionalism, difficulty in finding clues, easy loss of evidence, many controversial issues, and cross-regional cooperation need to be improved. In order to guide all localities to participate in special operations and handle related cases more pertinently, the three departments jointly selected 7 typical cases. The case involves not only the common and frequent areas of environmental crimes of hazardous wastes such as waste aluminum ash, waste barrels, waste lead batteries and oily mud, but also the areas of tackling environmental crimes of hazardous wastes such as "hole washing" in mines and by-product salt in pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises, all of which reflect the experience and practice of three departments cooperating and doing their own jobs to solve the investigation problems one by one, with a view to providing reference for handling a class of cases by showing a case.

The third is to convey the ecological environment protection concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The special action in the past four years has achieved remarkable results, but some enterprises still have insufficient understanding of the harmfulness of illegal hazardous waste environment and falsification of automatic monitoring data, and their awareness of environmental protection and the concept of rule of law need to be improved. The seven cases released this time not only carry out environmental restoration work, but also pay attention to the industry problems behind the cases, not only grasping the end, curing the disease, but also grasping the front end and curing the disease. At the same time, these cases also pay attention to explaining the law and reasoning, expounding in detail the harm of various ecological damage behaviors and the possible legal responsibilities, which has a warning and educational role in enhancing the people’s awareness of the rule of law and preventing illegal crimes.

Question 2: What are the main features of these cases?

Person in charge of the First Procuratorate Office of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate: The seven cases released this time focus on the common characteristics of key crimes in the ecological field, and take the areas with common and frequent crimes as the starting point, trying to promote the unified judicial standards for law enforcement and refine the standards for handling cases through cases, so as to achieve the purpose of severely punishing environmental crimes of hazardous waste.

The case of 49 people, including Cai Moxi of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, using the network platform to dispose of aluminum ash pollution across provinces involved three provinces and six cities. The case took the data of the network freight platform as the starting point, and carried out traceability verification on the loading point, transportation route and other links according to law, realizing the whole chain attack and comprehensive bottom pollution point, and helped to recover the economic loss of more than 18 million yuan before the prosecution, making up for the ecological environment loss to the maximum extent.

44 people, including Liu Mogang, Qingzhou City, Shandong Province, illegally disposed of the environmental pollution case of scrap iron barrels. According to the investigation idea of "looking for cars by barrels, finding dens by cars, and looking for people by running water in banks", a series of cases were drawn through a barrel, which finally destroyed this extremely large criminal network of illegally disposing of waste packaging barrels in Shandong Province and "radiating" seven provinces across the country, and will play an important role.

The case of environmental pollution caused by five people, including Xia Moujiang in Miyun District of Beijing, is a case of illegal gold mining by spraying toxic solution on the rock wall and bottom gravel of the mine. This kind of cases are often punished by the crime of major liability accident only after major casualty accidents. This case focuses on the damage to the ecological environment caused by this kind of behavior, and investigates the responsibility of the perpetrator by the crime of environmental pollution according to law, finding a reference path for similar cases, and warning that all localities should strengthen the management of abandoned mines.

Li Mouwen, a wuqing district in Tianjin, and other 26 people handled the case of environmental pollution caused by waste lead-acid batteries across provinces. Relying on the working mechanisms of inter-provincial and municipal joint linkage, case handling cooperation and emergency response, they dug deep into the whole chain to crack down on six dens in Tianjin, Inner Mongolia and Hebei, and destroyed three interest chains for the disposal of waste lead-acid batteries. The case was filed after the award-winning reporting platform of Tianjin Ecological Environment Bureau received reports from the masses, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of local people to participate in environmental protection supervision.

Based on the volatile characteristics of hazardous waste, three people, including Xie Mouhua in Qingpu District, Shanghai, fixed the evidence of air pollution in time through real-time detection, which provided an investigation idea for the case of illegal disposal of hazardous waste and proved that it had caused substantial pollution. In the case that all the actual disposers were not present, the previous disposal quantity of hazardous waste suppliers was added, and the source of hazardous waste was severely punished according to law.

In the case of three people, including Dai Mobing of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, illegally disposing of by-product salt to pollute the environment, the defendant made profits by illegally collecting and disposing of by-product salt from pharmaceutical and chemical enterprises nationwide, and solved the problem of detecting the stacked by-product salt as a mixture of solid waste salt from many enterprises by comparing pollutants and pollution sources, and explored the mode of "first identifying and then paying" to alleviate the problem of identification cost.

Eight people, including Wu Mougradually in Yongchuan District, Chongqing, illegally disposed of the case of environmental pollution caused by oily mud, and cracked down on ecological crimes caused by oil-related drilling mud through inter-provincial cooperation. The central and western regions are the main recoverable resources of shale gas in China, and some drilling platforms outsource the on-site environmental treatment and solid waste transfer and disposal, which poses a great risk of environmental pollution. This case has solved the core problems of conviction such as attribute identification and traceability investigation of oily mud mixture, and relied on the cooperation mechanism established by the ecological and environmental departments, public security organs and procuratorial organs in Sichuan and Chongqing to effectively enhance the joint crackdown.

Question 3: From the seven typical cases released, what are the characteristics of the current public security organs in cracking down on environmental pollution crimes?

Head of the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security: Environmental pollution is a pain for people’s livelihood and the people’s hearts. In accordance with the deployment spirit of the Party Central Committee to fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, and in view of the current situation of environmental pollution crimes, the Ministry of Public Security has organized the national public security organs to carry out the "Kunlun" special action for five consecutive years since 2019, with environmental pollution crimes as the focus of the crackdown. Since 2020, the Ministry of Public Security, together with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, has organized a joint special campaign for four consecutive years to severely crack down on environmental crimes of hazardous wastes and illegal activities of automatic monitoring data fraud by key pollutant discharge units, investigated and dealt with a number of environmental crimes with bad influence according to law, and severely punished a number of criminals according to law, effectively protecting the national ecological environment security. The selection and release of seven typical cases by the three departments is a good display of the achievements in cracking down on environmental pollution crimes in recent years, and also reflects some practices and characteristics of public security organs in investigating such cases.

First, focus on key industries to crack down on rectification and ensure high-quality economic development. The public security organs adhere to the law enforcement concept that cracking down on "illegality" is to protect the legitimate interests of enterprises, highlight key industries such as chemical engineering, mechanical processing and production, waste recycling, and intensify the crackdown on illegal "black dens" and illegal processing enterprises, and organize the detection of a number of environmental pollution cases such as Li Mouwen in Wuqing, Tianjin and Liu Mogang in Qingzhou, Shandong, so as to promote high-quality economic development and green transformation.

Second, focus on key areas to crack down on rectification and ensure the implementation of major national regional development strategies. In recent years, the public security organs have highlighted outstanding environmental crimes in key areas such as the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Yellow River Basin, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas, and the Yangtze River Delta, and have continuously intensified efforts to crack down on rectification, and organized the detection of a number of environmental pollution cases such as Xia Moujiang in Miyun, Beijing, and Xie Mouhua in Qingpu, Shanghai, thus providing a strong legal guarantee for the implementation of the country’s major regional development strategy.

The third is to focus on key targets to crack down on rectification and resolutely cut off the criminal interest chain. At present, gangs and chain crimes in the environmental field are more prominent. According to the characteristics of different cases, the public security organs highlight the principal offenders and organizers, insist on thorough investigation, and strive to crack down on crimes with "all links, all elements and all chains". In the case of environmental pollution by Cai Moxi and others in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, the intermediary who illegally collected and disposed of aluminum ash was taken as a breakthrough, and the investigation was carried out around the whole process of upstream production and waste source, intermediate transfer and transportation, and terminal dumping and landfill, and 49 people involved were arrested, realizing the whole chain attack from production and waste, intermediary, storage, transportation and disposal.

The fourth is to focus on key behaviors to crack down on rectification and effectively purify the environmental management order. Through years of high-pressure crackdown, the phenomenon of illegal discharge, dumping and disposal of hazardous waste by criminals directly to the external environment has gradually decreased, but the criminal means are more subtle and complicated. To this end, the public security organs have stepped up their efforts to crack down on illegal discharge, dumping and disposal of hazardous wastes across administrative regions, evading supervision over illegal discharge, dumping and disposal of hazardous wastes, organized the detection of a number of environmental pollution cases such as Dai Mobing in Nanchang, Jiangxi, and Wu Mouxian in Jiangjin, Chongqing, and urged the enterprises involved to further improve their systems and standardize the management of hazardous wastes, thus playing the role of promoting prevention by fighting and promoting governance by fighting.

In the next step, the public security organs will actively respond to the people’s expectations for a beautiful ecological environment, continue to strengthen cooperation and cooperation with relevant departments, and will not be soft on acts that destroy the ecological environment, severely crack down on environmental pollution crimes according to law, and provide a strong legal guarantee for building a beautiful China where man and nature coexist harmoniously.

Question 4: Judging from the cases released this time, local ecological and environmental departments, procuratorial organs and public security organs have made joint efforts to investigate and deal with a series of major cases. Could you please briefly introduce what role the eco-environment department has played in handling cases of environmental crimes such as hazardous waste and automatic monitoring data falsification?

Head of the Law Enforcement Bureau of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment: The implementation of the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Environmental Pollution provides a legal basis for the crime of hazardous waste and the act of tampering with or forging automatic monitoring data to be punished for environmental pollution. As the main force and vanguard in the construction of ecological civilization, the eco-environment department resolutely and severely cracked down on environmental crimes such as illegal discharge, dumping, disposal of hazardous wastes, tampering with and forging automatic monitoring data. When handling cases of illegal crimes in ecological environment, the ecological environment department mainly plays the role of "frontier sentry" in case discovery and "technical expert" in fixed evidence.

The first is to find clues about illegal crimes in time. In view of the characteristics of illegal and criminal acts of fraudulent use of hazardous wastes and automatic monitoring data, eco-environmental departments at all levels adhere to the problem orientation, use information technologies such as the Internet, the Internet of Things and big data, combine video monitoring, online monitoring, electricity and water monitoring and other means, and use awards to report and social organizations to help them find clues about illegal and criminal activities in time, respond quickly and carry out on-site law enforcement inspections, and strive to lock possible evidence of illegal and criminal activities in the first place to protect the scene.

The second is to quickly start the convergence of execution. Eco-environmental departments at all levels constantly standardize the procedures for handling cases. After investigating and initially determining that the case is suspected of environmental pollution, they will promptly transfer the items involved, inspection and appraisal reports, investigation reports and other related materials to the public security organs through legal review and collective deliberation. In some places, a joint case handling mechanism between procuratorial organs and public security organs has also been established, and the ecological and environmental departments have collected and fixed relevant evidence in time according to the evidence requirements of criminal proceedings to prevent the loss of evidence and realize the efficient connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice.

The third is to provide professional technical support. In the stage of investigation and evidence collection by public security organs, ecological and environmental departments at all levels actively cooperate with public security and procuratorial organs to do a good job in on-site disposal of articles involved and identification of pollutants, provide professional advice and technical support in sample collection, environmental monitoring, inspection and identification, and jointly make the investigation and evidence collection detailed and practical.

Question 5: In recent years, what are the measures and effects of procuratorial organs, ecological and environmental departments and public security organs to punish crimes against the environment according to law?

Head of the First Prosecutor’s Office of Supreme People’s Procuratorate: Since 2020, Supreme People’s Procuratorate, together with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Ministry of Public Security, has continuously launched a special campaign to severely crack down on environmental crimes of hazardous wastes, focusing on punishing illegal collection, utilization and disposal of waste mineral oil and illegal discharge, dumping and disposal of hazardous wastes across administrative regions. In 2021, the fraud of automatic monitoring data of pollutant discharge of key pollutant discharge units will be included in the scope of attack, and in 2022, the fraud of third-party environmental protection service agencies will be included in the special action. In the special action, the national procuratorial organs insisted on the same direction, strength and scale, and solidly promoted the development of the special action.

First, always maintain a high-pressure situation of cracking down on environmental crimes of hazardous wastes. In the special campaign, the procuratorial organs strictly performed their legal supervision duties, focusing on the disposal of hazardous wastes involving chemicals, pharmaceutical manufacturing, industrial concentration and ecologically fragile areas, the environmental pollution caused by waste mineral oil, the illegal disposal of hazardous wastes across administrative regions, and the falsification of automatic monitoring data of pollutant discharge from key sewage units involved in wading and gas. Since 2020, procuratorial organs across the country have arrested more than 5,300 cases and 9,600 people in environmental pollution crimes, and prosecuted more than 7,600 cases and 18,000 people.

The second is to strengthen the responsibility and mission of procuratorial organs and continue to carry out key and difficult tasks. Most of the environmental pollution caused by hazardous waste is a joint crime, with a long illegal industrial chain, many people involved and hidden means of committing crimes. To crack down on environmental crimes, we must highlight the key points. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate, together with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Ministry of Public Security, issued a notice, made unified arrangements, required comprehensive arrangement, timely detection of illegal and criminal clues, carried out special projects on key cases, and severely cracked down on illegal and criminal activities in the ecological environment. The Supreme People’s Procuratorate listed and supervised 21 cross-regional major and difficult cases that required the overall coordination of higher authorities, kept a close eye on the key and difficult cases of environmental pollution crimes, and solved the special action problems.

The third is to constantly improve the construction of mechanisms and systems to form a long-term and regular attack situation. Procuratorial organs at all levels have established relevant systems and mechanisms to promote the special action against environmental crimes of hazardous wastes around the difficult focus and blocking points in handling cases, combined with judicial practice and work practice; Focusing on the characteristics of environmental crimes committed by hazardous wastes, we will further deepen the communication and cooperation between procuratorial organs and administrative law enforcement departments, constantly improve the mechanism of "linking the two laws", and promote the in-depth development of special actions to crack down on environmental crimes committed by hazardous wastes; In the process of procuratorial performance, we noticed the problems existing in the supervision of administrative law enforcement departments, actively issued procuratorial suggestions to environmental protection departments, urged the implementation of rectification, and demonstrated the effect of procuratorial organs participating in comprehensive social governance.

In the next step, the procuratorial organs will continue to implement the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Deepening the Fight against Pollution, closely combine the service to ensure the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the ecological protection of the Yellow River Basin and the high-quality development of the economy, give full play to the procuratorial function, continue to carry out special actions to severely crack down on environmental pollution crimes such as hazardous wastes, build a safe defense line for the ecological environment, and further improve the judicial model of integrated linkage law enforcement in conjunction with the public security organs and the ecological environment departments. Do a good job of connecting administrative law enforcement with criminal justice, strengthen the guidance of major difficult and complicated cases and major cases with collectivization, specialization and chain, strengthen consultation and coordination, jointly solve the judicial problems of law enforcement in the field of ecological environment, and realize the "all-round attack, full chain force and full process supervision" of environmental pollution crimes.

Question 6: What measures did the public security organs take after the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Opinions on Deepening the Fight against Pollution in November 2021? What achievements have been made in cracking down on environmental pollution crimes?

Person in charge of the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security: After the central government issued the opinions on fighting the tough battle of pollution prevention and control in 2021, the Ministry of Public Security attached great importance to it, quickly communicated learning, and studied and implemented the opinions and measures. In 2022, the public security organs resolutely implemented the supreme leader’s thoughts on ecological civilization and the supreme leader’s thoughts on the rule of law, carried out the "Kunlun 2022" special campaign and the "Hundred Days Action" to crack down on public security in summer, severely cracked down on environmental pollution crimes according to law, and filed more than 2,500 criminal cases and arrested more than 4,400 suspects throughout the year, initially curbing the trend of frequent environmental pollution crimes. In the work, the following measures were mainly taken:

The first is to strengthen deployment and promotion. The Ministry of Public Security requires that we should pay close attention to the fields of ecological environment safety, increase the crackdown and punishment on illegal disposal of hazardous wastes and other illegal crimes, and protect the green mountains and green rivers. In 2022, national teleconferences and notices were held several times, relevant special actions were deployed, and arrangements were made to severely crack down on environmental pollution crimes caused by illegal discharge, dumping and disposal of hazardous wastes according to law, and to prevent safety risks in the ecological environment.

The second is to strengthen law enforcement. Adhering to the principle of "attacking the big, tackling the hard and punishing the evil", more than 100 cases of environmental pollution were listed and supervised throughout the year, and a number of important cases such as the environmental pollution case of a pharmaceutical company in Huangshi, Hubei Province and the environmental pollution case of Yang Mobin and others in Yantai, Shandong Province were successively solved. Guided by "Kunlun 2022" and "100-day Action", a national investigation was launched on the clues involved in six cases, including the "5 26" environmental pollution case in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province, to promote the "all links, all elements and all chains" to crack down on crimes.

The third is to strengthen departmental linkage. Together with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Supreme Inspection Organization, we launched a special campaign to crack down on environmental crimes of hazardous wastes, jointly investigated and dealt with more than 1,000 cases of environmental pollution crimes, and jointly supervised 15 major cases of illegal dumping of aluminum ash in two batches. Insist on simultaneous attack and prevention, and promptly notify the administrative department of hidden dangers such as illegal dumping of hazardous waste by oilfield facilities found in the investigation case, so as to promote source control.

The fourth is to strengthen regional cooperation. Guide public security organs in key areas such as the Yangtze River Delta and Chengdu-Chongqing, further improve the linkage mechanism of regional police cooperation and departmental law enforcement, investigate and deal with a number of cases of cross-regional crimes according to law, and continuously improve the joint efforts to crack down on regional environmental crimes. Guide and support the public security organs of the nine provinces along the Yellow River to set up the police cooperation organization for ecological protection in the Yellow River Basin, and hold the first cooperation forum in Inner Mongolia to provide a strong legal guarantee for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.

The fifth is to strengthen publicity and education. Combined with the publicity campaign on the theme of "Public Security Hearts to the Party, a New Journey of Escort", more than 10 typical cases of illegal dumping of hazardous wastes that have great environmental harm, wide social impact and high media attention were carefully selected, and they were publicly released at the National Security Education Day, World Environment Day and other time nodes, and the case interpretation method was carried out, which effectively played a warning and deterrent role.

At present, with the optimization and adjustment of the national epidemic prevention and control policy in COVID-19, the resumption of work and production across the country has been accelerated, and some major projects have started construction one after another, and the production capacity has been further released. In the process of rapid economic recovery, the amount of waste produced by enterprises concerned will increase accordingly. If the main responsibility of environmental protection of enterprises is not implemented in place, and some lawless elements seek profits, the risk of illegal transfer, discharge, dumping and disposal of hazardous wastes may increase. Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s thought of ecological civilization and the supreme leader’s thought of rule of law, the public security organs will thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, make a thorough deployment of the battle against pollution in accordance with the Party Central Committee, adhere to precise pollution control, scientific pollution control and pollution control according to law, persist in the direction of strike hard, extend the depth and breadth of the strike, severely crack down on environmental pollution crimes according to law, resolutely protect the ecological environment with the strictest system and the strictest rule of law, and spare no effort to protect the green mountains and rivers.

Question 7: Can you tell us something about the special actions carried out by the eco-environment department?

Head of the Law Enforcement Bureau of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment: Up to now, this work has been carried out for four consecutive years. Since 2020, the national ecological and environmental departments have investigated and dealt with more than 18,000 environmental violations involving hazardous wastes and automatic monitoring data, and fined nearly 1.7 billion yuan. 3,071 suspected environmental crimes were transferred to the public security organs, which effectively cracked down on environmental pollution crimes in key areas.

First, the three departments work together to continuously improve the convergence mechanism. Ecological and environmental departments, procuratorial organs and public security organs at all levels pay attention to daily "joint", deepen project linkage, jointly supervise key and difficult cases, establish and improve the working mechanism of linking administrative law enforcement with criminal justice, procuratorial organs strictly control the application of laws, public security organs carry out criminal investigations efficiently and meticulously, and the ecological and environmental departments provide professional support, operate in an integrated manner, and jointly solve crimes and tackle key problems. The investigation and handling of ecological and environmental crimes in key areas has been significantly improved.

The second is to comprehensively use various means to crack clues and find problems. Strengthen information means and rely on "internet plus Big Data" to accurately find clues; Insist on digging deep to expand the line, tracing back to the source, investigating the whereabouts, and cracking down on environmental crimes in all links, elements and chains; Carry out "group operations" and integrate superior forces to focus on outstanding problems; Actively strive for the support of departments, departments, neighboring provinces, the masses, the media, social organizations and other parties, unite law enforcement efforts, and comprehensively solve the problem of finding clues.

The third is diversified services, and special actions are taken to promote enterprises to abide by the law and upgrade the industry. While stepping up publicity to deter illegal and criminal acts, all localities actively carry out publicity, training and "sending the law to enterprises" activities to guide enterprises to abide by the law; Adhere to equal emphasis on law enforcement services, adhere to the law enforcement concept of combining rigidity with softness and prudent fines, and carry out "temperature" law enforcement; For the common problems in the industry found in the action, we should treat both the symptoms and the root causes, solve the stubborn diseases in the industry, and promote the compliance of enterprises and the promotion of the industry with special actions.

SAIC-GM-Wuling Yangguang

SAIC-GM was listed in the first half of 2024, and its sales volume was the best. According to the data of tram resources, Wuling Yangguang has become the single-model sales champion for three consecutive months from April to June.

20240719095335092682659.jpg

As the re-launch of Shangtong Wuling Auto and Rongguang Xiaoka EV, Wuling Yangguang is indeed a brand-new product. The overall design language is close to the design of new energy vehicles, and the front face is a large-area closed design, which is simple and atmospheric.

20240716182201941292887.jpg

In terms of body size, the size of Wuling Yangguang vehicle is 4985*1800*1975mm, the container size is 2830*1680*1365mm, and the container volume is 6.5 m..

20240716182324378654579.jpg

In terms of core power, Wuling Yangguang is equipped with batteries provided by honeycomb batteries, and Huating New Energy provides the assembly. The battery capacity is 41.9 and 31.9kWh, and the cruising range under working conditions is 300 and 230km. According to the data of tram resources, the 41.9kWh version is one of the best-selling models. The motor is provided by Polytechnic Tongyu, with a peak power of 60kW, a maximum torque of 220Nm and a maximum speed of 90 km/h..

20240716182408274839185.jpg

However, from the overall sales layout, a considerable part of Wuling Yangguang’s user sources are the product updates of its oil truck users, and many of its sales are Ming-window models, that is, passenger versions. Tram resource data show that nearly 54% of Wuling Yangguang’s sales in June 2024 came from open-window models. Thanks to the dual attributes of carrying passengers and goods, the open-window van has considerable advantages. However, in the long run, the open-window van with mixed passenger and goods faces multiple risks such as strict legal investigation and difficult market penetration. It remains to be seen whether it can become a breakthrough for new energy logistics vehicles in the future.

  Ding Yuankui:Next, please ask Director Yan to interpret the "Detailed Rules for the Administration of Service Charges of Old-age Care Institutions in Lianyungang".

  Strict documents:Hello, friends from the media. Recently, the Municipal Price Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau jointly formulated the Detailed Rules for the Administration of Service Charges in the Old-age Care Institutions in Lianyungang. Let me explain the relevant policies for you.

  There are 22 Detailed Rules for the Administration of Service Charges for the Aged in Lianyungang City, which mainly include the background, scope of application, charging content, fee refund management and charging supervision measures.

  The first is to introduce the background. In order to standardize the service charge behavior of the old-age care institutions in our city, promote the healthy development of the old-age care cause, and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly and the old-age care institutions, the Municipal Price Bureau, jointly with the Civil Affairs Bureau, formulated the detailed rules according to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Price Law, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Service Charge of the Old-age Care Institutions in Jiangsu Province and other laws and regulations, and combined with the actual situation in our city.

  The second is the scope of application. The implementation scope of the Detailed Rules is all kinds of old-age care institutions such as nursing homes, nursing homes, nursing homes, care homes, nursing homes and social welfare centers, which are established in Lianyungang City in accordance with the Measures for Licensing the Establishment of Old-age Care Institutions and registered according to law, and provide full-time centralized living and care services for the elderly.

  Ding Yuankui:Next, please ask Director Li to interpret the Measures for the Administration of Charges for Operating Parking Lots in Lianyungang City.

  Li Baoguo:Hello, media friends! Next, let me introduce the background and main contents of the Measures for the Administration of Operating Parking Charges in Lianyungang City (Lianjiafu [2016] No.182).

  First of all, introduce the background of the Measures.

  In December 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Transport jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Further Improving the Charging Policy for Motor Vehicle Parking Services, which set clear requirements for further improving the charging mechanism for motor vehicle parking services, giving full play to price leverage and promoting the optimization and upgrading of the parking industry. In order to better implement this opinion and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and operators, the Municipal Price Bureau issued the Measures for the Administration of Parking Charges in Lianyungang Urban Area on November 23, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations such as Jiangsu Province Price Regulations and Jiangsu Province Pricing Catalogue, and combined with Lianyungang Urban Parking Lot Construction Work Plan (2016-2017).

  Below, the main contents of the Measures are introduced.

  The first is the management form of parking lot charges. Operating parking fees, the implementation of government-guided prices and market-regulated prices in two forms of price management. Public parking lots and internal special parking lots operated externally shall be subject to government-guided prices. Independent professional mechanical three-dimensional parking lots and social capital fully invest in new parking lots to implement market-adjusted parking charges. If the parking lot provides non-motor vehicle parking services, the service charges shall be subject to market-adjusted prices.

  Second, the parking service charges of the operating parking lot managed by the government-guided price are priced differently according to different vehicle types, different time periods, different regions and different road sections. Annex 2 of the Measures clearly stipulates the parking fee standards, so I will not repeat them here.

  Among them, the types of vehicles are divided into blue license plate (including black, the same below) and yellow license plate by the public security department according to the relevant provisions of the state; Time periods are divided into daytime (9: 00 to 21: 00) and nighttime (21: 00 to 9: 00 the next day); The road section is divided into three areas: Class I area, Class II area and Class III area. Annex 1 of the Measures clearly states the division of the three areas. What needs special explanation is that the motor vehicle parking lot set up by social public activities and welfare institutions such as schools, museums, libraries, art galleries, music halls, stadiums and nursing homes or the parking lot serving them shall implement the three-category district standards; The charging method is based on counting, timing or monthly charging. The parking lot with time-based charging takes 2 hours as the charging unit, and the charging starts after the time-based parking exceeds 30 minutes. The charging consists of the first charging period and the later period, and the maximum charging standard for continuous parking within 24 hours is set. Long-term parking of vehicles can be charged monthly, which is determined by both parties through consultation.

  At the same time, the "Measures" emphasize that the government-guided price is the highest price limit, and each parking lot can be appropriately lowered according to different situations, and the downward floating range is not limited. The "Measures" also clarified six situations in which the parking lot with government-guided price is exempted from vehicle parking fees.

  Third, the parking lot charging standards for market-regulated price management shall be independently formulated by the operators according to law, publicized and reported to the municipal price department for the record. Parking lots subject to market-regulated price management can formulate adjustment standards with reference to government-guided prices, and encourage the implementation of government-guided parking lot-related provisions on exempting vehicle parking fees.

  The fourth is to implement the charging publicity system. Parking lot operators shall set up a price tag (table) for parking fees under the supervision of the competent price department in a prominent position in the parking places and charging places, indicating the types of parked vehicles, service contents, charging units, total number of berths, charging standards and service supervision telephones of business units, and price reporting telephones.

  Fifth, consumers refuse to pay parking fees. If the parking lot operator is under any of the following circumstances, the consumer may refuse to pay the parking fee, and have the right to report it to the competent price department or solve it through other legal channels. (a) do not charge parking fees according to the provisions of these measures; (two) the system of charging publicity is not implemented or the charging publicity is not standardized; (3) Failing to install a qualified time charging management system or a special time charging tool to implement time charging and pre-charging; (4) Failing to provide or use valid bills; (five) in violation of the provisions of these measures; (6) Other circumstances stipulated by laws and regulations.

  The sixth is other content. Motor vehicle parking service charges in residential areas shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Implementation of Lianyungang Property Service Charge Management. Temporary parking spaces in urban roads are set in accordance with the Code for Setting Parking Spaces on Urban Roads (GA/T 850—2009) issued by the Ministry of Public Security, and the charging standards are still implemented in accordance with the Measures for the Administration of Motor Vehicle Parking Services in Lianyungang. Counties and Ganyu District can refer to these measures, combined with local conditions, and formulate corresponding management measures for operating parking fees. These Measures shall come into force as of January 1, 2017.

  Ding Yuankui:Today’s press conference is over, thank you.

It’s too expensive! What happened to American prices?

Recently, on foreign social media, many Americans have complained about the rising cost of living.

An American posted a meal bill on foreign social media, complaining about the current high prices in the United States, such as a sandwich, which costs more than 100 yuan; At the same time, many American bloggers on foreign social media constantly spit out the current living environment, causing hundreds of thousands of comments to resonate.

How much pressure does the American people have on their lives?

The sojourner in the United States said this.

Guo Guojun interviewed several overseas Chinese studying and living in the United States. They said that although the price in the United States has been at a high level in recent years, the situation of "sky-high" sandwiches is not common. Recently, the overall price has risen partially, but most of them are still within the acceptable range.

Mr. Kong, who has lived in Washington for ten years, told Guo Guojun that in and around Washington, DC, the prices of daily necessities and food in large and medium-sized supermarket chains frequented by local Americans, such as Walmart, Target and Whole Foods, increased slightly, and some even lowered the prices of commonly used foods to stimulate consumption. In contrast, the Asian food monopoly supermarkets frequented by Asians and Chinese, such as 99 Dahua and Greater China, have seen a marked increase in food and fresh food prices. This has led to a sharp increase in the prices of Chinese restaurants and take-away vegetables, ranging from 10% to 30%.

Wang Jiarui, who has been studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for three years, told Guojun that in Wisconsin, prices are like "boiled frogs in warm water" and "our sensitivity to prices is decreasing due to high prices for many years".

In an interview with Guo Guojun, Ms. Yang, who works for Costco Retail in the United States, bluntly said that in Los Angeles and California, prices have obviously increased recently, especially for a box of eggs, which has increased by about $2. At the same time, she said that there is also a certain gap in the prices of different States in the United States. It may be that there is a certain imbalance between the supply and demand of local related foods, which led to the emergence of "high-priced sandwiches".

At the same time, pay cuts, layoffs and rising housing insurance have become increasingly serious, which has also affected the lives of the American people.

According to the report of the Federal Reserve, in the past year, the cost of renting a house in the United States was higher than that in the previous year: 19% of tenants said that they had defaulted on their rent in the previous year, up from 17% in 2022. According to the survey, the current rent cost in the United States is much higher than the overall inflation rate, and the median monthly rent has risen by 10% to $1,100.

Mr. Kong said that in the past 1-2 years, inflation has led to a significant increase in house prices and rents. House prices in some school districts and convenient transportation areas have risen by more than 15%. In addition, daily living expenses such as water, electricity, coal and gasoline prices have also increased slightly, especially the average increase of residents’ electricity bills has exceeded 8%.

On foreign social media, many low-and middle-income Americans express their dissatisfaction with the current living environment. One user wrote: "I’m exhausted, but we shouldn’t go bankrupt because of basic expenses." Another user said: "The rent has increased by 500 dollars since the beginning of this year. In order to continue living in the house, I have to work two jobs at the same time."

Inflation in the United States has slowed down but remains stubborn

Recently, inflation in the United States has dropped slightly, and it has slowed down for two consecutive months in May.

According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index (CPI) in the United States in May increased by 3.3% year-on-year, slightly lower than the previous value and expected value of 3.4%; In May, the CPI increased by 0% month-on-month, which was also significantly slower than the previous value, the lowest level since July 2022.

Although the price pressure in the United States has weakened, different Americans have different views on price perception, mainly because of their different lifestyles, income levels and consumption habits. Some people in the United States still continue to feel the tremendous pressure brought by stubborn inflation.

For example, most Americans say that their financial situation has hardly changed in the past year, and some Americans say that life has become more difficult. According to a poll, nearly half of the people in the United States believe that the recent inflation has made their lives even more difficult. The US media believes that the inflation rate may continue to be higher than the wage increase in the next few years.

The American media reported recently that there is more and more evidence that American consumers are reducing their consumption when facing severe economic obstacles. Low-income Americans are already struggling, and the pain has now spread to middle-income consumers.

This pressure may last for a long time. The American media reported that an analysis of Moneywise financial website based on the data of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Federal Housing Administration and the online real estate service website Redfin pointed out that in the next few years, the inflation rate will continue to exceed the increase of wages in most industries. In the past five years, 97% of the professional wages have failed to keep up with inflation, and waiters are the only industry that has achieved real wage growth.

Inflationary pressure is a long-term problem

On June 12, local time, the Federal Reserve’s meeting on interest rates released the latest statement. The US economic activity continued to expand steadily, employment growth remained strong, and the inflation rate eased in the past year, but it was still at a high level.

Zhang Monan, a researcher at China International Economic Exchange Center.He said that strong domestic demand in the United States has led to an increase in inflation expectations. Despite the recent decline in inflation growth for two consecutive months, the price increases in food, housing, transportation, medical care and other fields are structural and may exist for a long time, which has squeezed the spending power of American consumers.

Zhang Monan said that from the current point of view, the Fed remains in a relatively neutral position. Therefore, on the one hand, promoting interest rate cuts will take inflation into account, on the other hand, it will help the Biden administration to continue to expand its fiscal revenue and expenditure, thus reducing the financing cost of long-term US government bonds.

According to the May retail sales data recently released by the US Department of Commerce, the US retail sales in May increased by 0.1% month-on-month, which was lower than the market expectation of 0.3%, and the previous value was revised down from 0% to -0.2%.

Professor Li Haidong, Institute of International Relations, Foreign Affairs University.China News Service is a through train, which means that inflation in the United States is a long-term phenomenon and cannot be solved in the short term. This kind of inflation is closely related to the existing economic structural problems in the United States. At present, prices in the United States continue to rise, mainly because of the high tariffs in the US foreign trade and economic policy, which leads to the high tariffs being borne by American consumers themselves.

"Blindly imposing tariffs can only lead to inflation; Without tariffs, people will be dissatisfied with the authorities. Therefore, the existing political level in the United States cannot find a satisfactory answer. Inflation will be a long-term problem, and the loose conditions in a short time are not mature. " Li Haidong said.

How to understand "rumor" in rumor crime

Although rumors can be analyzed and understood from the etymological meaning and sociological meaning of Chinese, rumors and false information can be regarded as synonymous under legal semantics.

□ The terminology of legislation and judicial documents should be standardized, and "rumours", "false information", "false facts" and "fabricated facts" should be uniformly expressed as "false information" as far as possible. In judicial practice, fabricating (manufacturing) false information and spreading false information can be referred to as "spreading rumors" for short.

At present, there are many crimes involving rumors in China’s criminal law. Among them, the crimes of directly using the concept of "rumors" include the crime of inciting subversion of state power, the crime of disturbing the morale of the military in wartime, and the crime of spreading rumors to confuse people in wartime; The crimes of using the concept of "false information" include the crime of fabricating and deliberately spreading false information, the crime of fabricating and deliberately spreading false terrorist information, the crime of fabricating and spreading false information in securities and futures trading, and the crime of network rumors to stir up trouble; The crime of damaging business reputation and commodity reputation uses the expression of "fabricating and spreading false facts" In addition, it also stipulates that the act of "fabricating facts to slander others" may constitute libel. As for the crime of false accusation and frame-up stipulated in Article 243 of the Criminal Law, although it also has the characteristics of "fabricating facts", its behavioral characteristics are not distributed to the society, but reported to specific state organs, which is not a rumor crime. If the perpetrator spreads the fabricated criminal facts to the society and constitutes a crime, it will be treated as libel. Article 25 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law stipulates the administrative punishment of "spreading rumors". Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Defamation by Information Network issued by the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on September 6, 2013.(hereinafter referred to as "Internet Defamation Interpretation")Article 5 stipulates that "whoever fabricates false information, or knowingly fabricates false information and spreads it on the information network, or organizes or instructs personnel to spread it on the information network, thus causing serious chaos in public order" shall be punished as the crime of stirring up trouble.

However, whether rumors, false information, false facts and fabricated facts in the above specifications are all equal to rumors, whether rumors can be defined as false information and how to identify them are controversial. Modern Chinese Dictionary interprets rumors as news without factual basis. Cihai interprets rumors as unfounded rumors or fabricated news. The academic understanding of rumors is basically based on these two explanations, and a lot of consensus has been formed, emphasizing that rumors are a description of objective facts, not just subjective comments; False information should be related to real life, not myths, superstitions and literary works. However, scholars have different opinions on whether rumors are false information. At present, there are three main viewpoints in academic circles:

The first view is that rumors must be false information, but the scope of rumors is smaller than false information. Some scholars believe that unfounded news is often inconsistent with reality, so rumors must belong to false information; However, news that is inconsistent with reality is not necessarily unfounded, so false information does not necessarily belong to rumors, and the scope of rumors is smaller than false information. Analyzing this view, we can find that there are two essential views: one is to subjectively and intentionally spread rumors as the fundamental condition; Second, it is believed that information spread on the basis of certain real information is not a rumor, so the scope of rumors is smaller than false information. The first view is of course correct. There are no rumors spread subjectively and intentionally. Of course, it is also a rumor in the sociological sense, but it is not a rumor in criminal law. However, it is debatable that some false rumors are not rumors.

The second view is that rumors are not necessarily false information, and that rumors can be false. Some scholars believe that "unfounded news is not necessarily news that does not conform to the facts." Another scholar believes that "falsehood is not the definition standard of rumors, rumors can be false, and its fundamental feature is the unknowability that is different from accuracy". Some scholars believe that the rumor itself may be true, but not necessarily false. Some scholars believe that "the falsity of information is not the fundamental feature of rumors", and the essence of rumors should be "unconfirmed and specious". This view artificially expands the explanation of rumors, and defines rumors as neutral words, which are equivalent to rumors. Its essence is to artificially extract the elements of deliberate fabrication and malicious dissemination of unconfirmed news from rumors, which is stealing the established concept of rumors.

The third view is that rumors and false information are synonyms. Some scholars believe that "both unfounded and fabricated point to the falsity of information" and that "rumors are not necessarily unfounded for false arguments". Some scholars also agree that rumors in Chinese refer to false information; For unconfirmed information, people are used to calling it "rumor" and "rumor".

Most scholars agree with the third view, that is, rumors can be analyzed and understood from the etymological meaning and sociological meaning of Chinese, but under the legal semantics, rumors and false information can be regarded as synonymous. Some scholars advocate that the position should be interpreted based on restrictive theory. Under the semantics of criminal law, rumors and false information can be regarded as synonymous. Some supporters believe that false information in judicial interpretation should be defined as "unfounded" and "inconsistent with the facts". Some scholars believe that under the semantics of criminal law, network rumors refer to false information on the internet, but the concept of rumors itself is ambiguous in etymology. It is suggested that the same meaning should not be expressed in different words in legislation, and the concept of network rumors should be replaced by false information on the internet. It can be seen that although scholars have different concepts in interpreting rumors from Chinese semantics, most of them regard rumors and false information as synonyms from legal semantics.

This paper also agrees with the third view for the following reasons:

First, rumors in modern Chinese semantics have negative meanings and derogatory meanings, and are generally not neutral words that can be equated with "rumors". "Making rumors" is always associated with "making trouble" and "gossiping about right and wrong". Defining rumors as false information conforms to the language habits of modern Chinese and is easy for people to understand.

Second, in law, rumors, unfounded facts and false information are the same thing. Because this is not a philosophical problem, but a realistic legal fact problem. The criterion for identifying legal facts here is whether there is a verifiable basis in reality, rather than whether it is a fact in the long run or from philosophical truth, which is consistent with the purpose of maintaining social order in criminal law. Fabricating and disseminating unconfirmed information also has serious social harm, and it is in line with the legislative purpose to identify it as false information. It is not feasible in law to take the philosophical truth standard as the standard for determining legal facts.

Thirdly, from the description of the criminal law and the public security administration punishment law in China, rumors and false information are also the same concept, and they have the same meaning. As mentioned earlier, the crimes of using the concept of "rumor" include the crime of inciting subversion of state power, the crime of disturbing the morale of the army by spreading rumors in wartime, and the crime of spreading rumors to confuse people in wartime. The crimes of using the concept of "false information" include the crime of fabricating and deliberately spreading false information, the crime of fabricating and deliberately spreading false terrorist information, the crime of fabricating and spreading false information in securities and futures trading, and the crime of network rumors to stir up trouble. The term "fabricating and spreading false facts" is used in the crime of damaging business reputation and commodity reputation. In addition, the crime of libel also stipulates that its behavioral characteristics are "fabricating facts to slander others". In traditional military crimes, the word "spreading rumors" is used in legislation to describe the charges. The author believes that the reason is that there was no such thing as false information in our society at the time of legislation. At the same time, for the sake of simplicity of charges, legislators directly used common sayings in life as charges, and the meaning of the word "rumor" still means "fabricating and deliberately spreading false information".

Fourth, rumors containing some false facts should also belong to rumors. Article 1 of the Interpretation of Internet Defamation defines rumors as fabricating facts or "tampering with the original information content related to others on the information network as facts that damage others’ reputation", which actually refers to some false facts.

It should be noted that it is not scientific to judge false information by the proportion of the information contained in the event or whether it is confirmed. For a major event, even if it contains 1% false components, it may seriously harm the society, because this 1% false component may be the key fact or the fact that people are most concerned about in communication, so as long as it is false information, no matter how much the false component accounts for in the whole event, its own falsehood is 100%. At the same time, it is not practical to judge whether it is a rumor according to the proportion of false components.

To sum up, we should standardize the language of legislative and judicial documents, and express "rumors", "false information", "false facts" and "fabricated facts" as unified as possible as "false information", which can be fabricated in judicial practice.(manufacturing)False information and spreading false information are referred to as "spreading rumors" and "spreading rumors" for short.
