The reporter learned from Shanghai Customs that at 22: 30 on March 17th, 21,200 boxes of imported Covid-19 therapeutic drug "Naimatvir/Ritonavir Tablets" (Paxlovid) were cleared by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, and all the import clearance procedures were completed, and they were rushed to the national anti-epidemic front line. This is the first import of this drug in China after it was included in the latest version of COVID-19’s diagnosis and treatment plan.

On February 11th, 2022, according to the relevant provisions of the Drug Administration Law and the special drug approval procedures, National Medical Products Administration conducted emergency review and approval, and conditionally approved the import registration of the combined packaging (Paxlovid) of nematevir tablets and ritonavir tablets in Covid-19, Pfizer. On March 15th, the main points of the revision of novel coronavirus Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Trial Ninth Edition) issued by the National Health and Wellness Commission showed that the specific anti-Covid-19 drugs of Naimatevir Tablets/Ritonavir Tablets (Paxlovid) approved by National Medical Products Administration were written into the diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hu Xiaoming, deputy director of the General Department of Shanghai Customs, said that the goods were imported from Pudong Airport. They connect with enterprises in advance to understand the import situation of goods, formulate and start the whole customs clearance guarantee plan, and guide enterprises to adopt the "declare in advance" model. After the goods arrived at Pudong Airport, they were immediately removed and transferred to Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, which provided valuable time "ahead of schedule" for enterprises to declare imports and distribute shipments.

After the customs in the bonded area "receives the stick", a green channel is set up at the business site to ensure the safe and convenient customs clearance of goods. In view of the strict requirements for the storage environment of this batch of drugs, after receiving the application for making an appointment for inspection from the enterprise, the customs of the bonded area appointed customs officers to go to the enterprise to carry out warehousing inspection under the premise of doing a good job of safety protection, and complete the on-site inspection according to the inspection instructions to realize the "zero waiting" for customs clearance.

Geng Jing, head of the Second Division of Customs Comprehensive Business in the Bonded Zone, told the reporter: "This batch of goods is relatively large. We give full play to the function of the logistics distribution center in the special customs supervision area, and help enterprises to reasonably arrange the batch exit and the corresponding transportation plan according to the actual situation and demand, and provide all-weather customs clearance guarantee, so as not to delay drugs for one second."

CCTV News:Some people say that the charm of competitive sports lies in the uncertainty of results. But for the audience who like weightlifting, diving and table tennis in China, there are not many opportunities to experience the fun of this uncertainty. Although it is a bit "Versailles" to say this, these three traditional advantages of China won 18 gold medals in this Tokyo Olympic Games, and many projects won the championship and runner-up, continuing to write brilliantly.

The first enumerated heavy gold medal in the history of China Olympic Games came from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, which was won by Ceng Guoqiang in the men’s 52kg event. China weightlifting team is a veritable "gold medal winner". In this Tokyo Olympic Games, China’s weightlifting team still performed brilliantly, and its achievements of 7 gold medals and 1 silver were amazing. In men’s weightlifting, there were four men and four gold medals, among which the total scores of Li Fabin, Chen Lijun and Lv Xiaojun all broke the Olympic record, while the total score of Shi Zhiyong broke the world record. Four women weightlifters won three gold medals and one silver, among which Hou Zhihui and Li Wenwen both broke the Olympic record. China’s "Heavenly Weightlifting Team" created China’s strength legend with its perfect report card.

When it comes to China diving team, Chinese people often regard it as the "dream team". Since Zhou Jihong won the first Olympic medal for the China team in 1984, this gold medalist has won 47 Olympic gold medals, and created several diving legends such as Gao Min, Fu Mingxia and Guo Jingjing. At this Tokyo Olympic Games, China’s diving legend continued, winning 7 gold medals and 5 silver medals, winning the first and second place in 4 events. In addition to the gratifying results, the newcomers emerging in this diving team are also eye-catching. "Surprise combination" Chen Yuxi and Zhang Jiaqi, two girls with an average age of only 16 years old, led the way in the competition and won the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform gold medal without any suspense; Quan Hongchan, who was only 14 years old, even staged the "water spray disappearing" in the women’s 10m platform final, and the "three-jump perfect score" broke the highest score record in Olympic history. Before, some veterans went out to continue to write brilliant stories, and after that, some teenagers rose and new stars shone. Diving Dream Team keeps the legend of China shining in the Olympic Games.

Table tennis was officially listed as an event in the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988. So far, the China table tennis team has won 32 of all 37 gold medals in the 9th Olympic Games. In this Olympic Games, China table tennis team won 4 gold medals and 3 silver medals, but only the mixed doubles event regretted losing the gold medal. Among them, the men’s doubles and women’s doubles events achieved four consecutive Olympic championships, while the women’s singles events achieved nine consecutive Olympic championships, and the 32-year-old Malone became the first person to win the Olympic table tennis men’s singles championship, and became the player who won the most Olympic gold medals in the history of the national table tennis team with a proud score of 5 gold medals. Some netizens said that you can always trust the China table tennis team. In fact, what we believe is not the unbeaten legend, but their determination, belief and courage to keep fighting for the glory of the national ball.

It is not easy to achieve a legend, but it is even more difficult to continue it. Behind the applause and glory are the athletes’ silent persistence and hard work under great pressure.

Liu Guoliang, President of China Table Tennis Association:Everyone has worked hard for five years and everyone has paid a lot. This huge pressure is unimaginable to ordinary people, but we gritted our teeth and did it. What’s important is that we have demonstrated the fighting capacity, cohesion and the spirit of unity of the China team to the people and the world at an extremely difficult time.

On the morning of March 7, the Jiangsu delegation of the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress held a plenary meeting, at which the topic of how to protect, utilize and innovate the intangible cultural heritage in Jiangsu in the new era was discussed. In recent years, by strengthening protection, cultivating talent teams and innovating artistic expressions, Jiangsu has made Kunqu Opera, one of the world’s intangible cultural heritages, constantly glow with new charm.

Intangible protection

Ancient Kunqu opera reappears the glory of the times

Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest existing operas in China, and it is called "the father and teacher of hundreds of operas". In May 2001, Kunqu Opera was awarded the title of "masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of mankind" by UNESCO. Kunqu opera has both cultural heritage and cultural products. Its protection and inheritance will help to enhance people’s awareness of traditional culture and group identity, and promote social cultural prosperity and development.

Kunshan, Jiangsu Province is the birthplace of Kunqu Opera. In recent years, Kunshan regards the protection of Kunqu Opera as an important part of exploring new experiences in building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, strengthens cultural self-confidence, highlights the spirit of the city, shows the characteristics of the city, and thoroughly implements the three-year action plan for promoting the brand of Kunqu Opera. At the same time, it holds brand activities such as "Beautiful Days and Elegant Collection", "Kunqu Opera Home" and "Chongyang Music Festival", and at the same time, it strengthens the creation of excellent Kunqu Opera, promotes the tour of excellent Kunqu Opera, and promotes it with multiple subjects, types and channels.

Since 2022, the "New Three Years, New Hundred Operas" program has been launched in the Grand Festival of Traditional Opera (Kunshan), focusing on the selection and training of leading opera talents, the support of endangered operas and the construction of China opera heritage base, actively exploring new modes such as "Opera+Tourism", "Opera+Fashion" and "Opera+Industry", which has effectively promoted the protection and development of China operas.

One stage will be Kyushu, and one city will watch hundreds of plays. Since the opening of the Hundred Drama (Kunshan) Festival in 2023, 40 opera troupes across the country have given 26 wonderful performances, with over 15,000 people watching live performances, over 70 million people watching online performances, and nearly 300 million people in five sessions. Sina Weibo has read 400 million people and over 1.6 billion people in five sessions. The Tik Tok has been broadcast for 300 million people, with the cumulative number exceeding 1.2 billion people in five sessions, which fully shows the enduring vitality and colorful weather of Chinese opera.

personnel training

"Xiao Kun Ban" blooms the flower of inheritance

The performance of Kunqu Opera lasted for 400 to 500 years, and there were strict norms for oral instruction. Besides, cultural elites have been involved in the refinement process of Kunqu Opera for a long time since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so it was inherited in an orderly manner and left us a valuable cultural heritage. Inheritance is the soul of Kunqu Opera’s eternal life. Only by getting more young people to participate in the creation and appreciation of Kunqu Opera can we store endogenous power for the sustainable development of Kunqu Opera.

In 1921, the establishment of Kunqu Opera Studio opened the prelude to the inheritance and development of Kunqu Opera since the 20th century. In April, 1992, the first small Kunqu class in China was formally established in Kunshan No.1 Central Primary School, marking the entrance of Kunqu culture into the campus. By 2023, Kunshan had successively set up 22 small Kunqu classes in primary and secondary schools in the city, and trained more than 5,000 Kunqu students. More than 100 students were selected for further study in professional colleges, and nearly 20 students have become national excellent Kunqu actors.

The establishment of Kunshan Contemporary Kunqu Opera Theatre has also created a platform for outstanding Kunqu students to dream of Kunqu Opera. Many young actors who had the experience of learning opera in Xiaokun class have grown up and matured on the stage of Kunqu Opera Theatre, contributing to the inheritance and promotion of Kunqu Opera culture. At the same time, in the Kunqu Opera Talent Training Class of the Opera School affiliated to Shanghai Theatre Academy, there are also students from Xiaokun Class, who are moving towards the growth of professional actors and waiting for six years to stand on the stage of Kunqu Opera Theatre.

innovative development

Traditional culture realizes cross-border integration.

Under the background of the integration of literature and tourism in the new era, more and more people began to know and like Kunqu opera, and even fell in love with this kind of intangible culture. On the stage, masterpieces of famous rookies such as Peony Pavilion, White Snake and Gu Yanwu continue; In the theater, there are more and more young audiences, which makes people feel that the ancient Kunqu opera art is rejuvenating.

"Immersion" performance is one of the most effective and popular performances of Kunqu Opera. Compared with the past, Kunqu Opera not only exists in professional academies, folk music clubs and inheritance institutions, but also generally appears in various tourist sites and experience projects. Kunqu Opera performances went out of the theater and into the gardens and halls. A series of immersive Kunqu Opera performances were launched, which integrated the appreciation of landscape gardens and listening to operas, making the audience more immersive.

In addition, Kunqu opera is also combined with modern science and technology, relying on technologies such as the Internet and Metauniverse to innovate artistic expression forms. In August, 2022, the Kunqu Opera "Huansha Ji" was performed simultaneously in the Grand Theatre of Kunshan Culture and Art Center and Dayuwan Square through the 5G holographic live broadcast technology, realizing the stage performance "time travel".

This exhibition is an innovation in the way of traditional Chinese opera communication. Holographic projection technology has broken the limit of the number of people and venues in the theater, and made the traditional Chinese opera art really "go out of the theater and approach the public". The first show of "Opera+Science and Technology" has aroused enthusiastic response, which is a new way to promote the spread of opera art to people’s lives. At the same time, the digital guidance of Kunqu opera has also promoted the transformation, application and development of digital resources of traditional culture.

CCTV News:The State Council Press Office held a press conference on April 19th. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that it would work with relevant departments to promote digital upgrading in trade-related links, including improving customs clearance efficiency and providing more and more convenient financing support for foreign trade enterprises.

In the field of trade digitalization, the Ministry of Commerce has guided more trade entities to use electronic trade documents and promoted the interconnection between document platform enterprises. Accelerate the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area global trade digital pilot area, and explore the docking of digital infrastructure and rules and standards, so as to accelerate the digital integration development of the whole trade chain. Cultivate leading enterprises in digital transformation, and also provide digital solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Li xinggan, director of the foreign trade department of the Ministry of commerce, said: "relying on multi-bilateral platforms, we will strengthen trade digital cooperation with our trading partners and jointly explore more landing scenarios in the trade field."　

Ministry of Commerce: It is normal for data fluctuation to attract foreign investment.

Since last year, there have been some fluctuations in China’s data on attracting foreign investment. At the press conference on April 19th, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that from the overall situation of global transnational investment and the situation of various economies, fluctuations in data on attracting foreign investment are normal.

In the first quarter of this year, the scale of attracting foreign investment in China exceeded 300 billion yuan. In the same period last year, the scale of attracting foreign investment in China reached the highest level in the history of quarterly investment, and it declined in the first quarter of this year. There are indeed factors affected by the high base. In addition, in the first quarter of this year, the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises in China reached 12,000, a year-on-year increase of 20.7%, continuing the trend of rapid growth of newly established enterprises since last year.

Ji Xiaofeng, head of the Foreign Investment Management Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that there is usually a process for foreign investment from project signing, company registration to completion and production. In this process, foreign capital will continue to be invested with the progress of project construction, so data fluctuations are also common.

Ministry of Commerce: China’s investment structure continued to be optimized in the first quarter of this year.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, in the first quarter of this year, the actual use of foreign capital in China’s manufacturing industry reached 81.06 billion yuan, of which the investment in high-tech manufacturing industry reached 37.76 billion yuan, accounting for 2.3 and 2.2 percentage points higher than that in the same period of last year, and the investment in medical equipment manufacturing industry increased by 169.7% year-on-year, which fully demonstrated the continuous optimization of China’s investment structure.

At the same time, the person in charge also said that a comprehensive analysis of the situation of attracting foreign investment in China should not only look at the changes in the scale of attracting foreign investment, but also see the optimization of the structure of attracting foreign investment and its future development prospects.

Ministry of Commerce: China deepens national economic and trade cooperation with the Belt and Road Initiative.

At the press conference, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced that since the beginning of this year, China has continuously deepened its economic and trade cooperation with the "Belt and Road" countries and achieved some new progress and new results.

In the first quarter, the import and export of goods between China and co-construction countries exceeded 4.8 trillion yuan, up 5.5%, 0.5 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of foreign trade, accounting for 47.4% of the total import and export.

From the perspective of export commodities, there are high-tech products such as electronic information, instruments and equipment manufacturing, which are closely related to the production of enterprises, as well as consumer goods such as household appliances and clothing that meet the needs of people’s livelihood.

From the perspective of imported goods, China and the co-construction countries actively share the opportunity of China’s big market. In the first quarter, the energy and mineral products, integrated circuits, auto parts and other industrial products imported from the co-construction countries continued to grow.

In the first quarter, China’s non-financial direct investment in co-construction countries reached 54.32 billion yuan, up 12%, accounting for 22.4% of the total foreign investment in the same period. From the perspective of investment, investment in RCEP member countries increased by 33.5%, and investment in Central and Eastern European countries increased by 41.3%, both of which were significantly higher than the overall growth rate.

Yang Tao, director of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in terms of exhibition platform, the just-concluded 4th Consumer Expo and the first phase of the 135th Canton Fair attracted a large number of merchants from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative, and the number of buyers from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative participating in the Canton Fair increased by 46%. In the import sector of the Canton Fair, the proportion of exhibitors from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative reached 64%.

Ministry of Commerce: I am confident to achieve the goal of "stable quality and quantity increase" in foreign trade this year.

At the press conference, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced that looking forward to the next stage of foreign trade situation, there are both opportunities and challenges in general. The Ministry of Commerce is working with all localities and departments to study and launch a series of targeted, pragmatic and effective measures to stabilize foreign trade.

The opportunity is that the domestic economy is picking up and the foundation is constantly consolidating. In the first quarter, the national economy grew by 5.3%, and the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 6.1%, which provided a solid foundation for China to consolidate its foreign trade base.

The company’s expectations continue to improve and its confidence continues to increase. In March, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) of China’s manufacturing industry reached 50.8%, returning to the expansion range. Recently, a questionnaire survey was conducted among more than 20,000 exhibitors in the Canton Fair. The survey results show that the proportion of enterprises whose orders have increased or remained flat has reached 81.5%, an increase of 16.8 percentage points over the previous session. Enterprises are relatively optimistic about the order situation and are more enthusiastic about exploring the international market.

Key industries have stabilized and improved, and their motivation has been continuously enhanced. After a two-year down cycle, the trade of main products in the electronic information industry is gradually recovering. In the first quarter, China’s integrated circuits increased by 24.2%, imports increased by 14.3%, and exports of computers and parts increased by 8.6%, which also showed the ability of supporting and integrating China’s industries.

From the perspective of challenges, the growth of external demand is expected to slow down. Recently, the WTO released a global trade outlook and statistical report, in which the growth rate of goods trade in 2024 was lowered to 2.6%, which was 0.7 percentage points lower than the forecast value in October last year. In addition, the risk of geopolitical conflict has increased, the momentum of trade protectionism has risen, and the interference and difficulty faced by enterprises in opening up markets have increased.

Guo Tingting, Vice Minister of Commerce, said that at present, the Ministry of Commerce, together with various localities and departments, is working hard to study and launch a series of targeted, pragmatic and effective measures to stabilize foreign trade to help foreign trade enterprises enhance their motivation and open up markets. The Ministry of Commerce is confident and capable of achieving the goal of "stable quality and quantity increase" in foreign trade this year.

Ten departments, including the Ministry of Commerce, jointly issued the Measures to further support overseas institutions to invest in domestic science and technology enterprises.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce on April 19th that the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Development and Reform Commission and other ten departments have recently jointly issued policies and measures to further support overseas institutions to invest in domestic science and technology enterprises.

Clear policies and measures to support overseas institutions to invest in domestic science and technology enterprises through qualified overseas limited partners.

　　Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way is the fundamental guarantee for completing the historical mission.

　　Feng Jun, Deputy Director of the Central Party History Research Office

　　Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times, and it is also the historical mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, we have never been closer to the goal of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In his important speech on "July 26th", General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that if the Party wants to unite and lead the people in a great struggle, advance a great cause and realize a great dream, it must unswervingly uphold and improve the Party’s leadership, unswervingly push forward the new great project of Party building, and make the Party stronger and stronger.

　　Strengthen political construction, comprehensively strengthen the party’s leadership and enhance the party’s cohesion, combat effectiveness, leadership and appeal. Party, government, military and civilian studies, east, west, north and south, the party is the leader of everything. Party member cadres should strictly abide by political discipline and rules, safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee, safeguard the unity and centralized leadership of the Party, firmly establish political awareness, overall situation awareness, core awareness and conformity awareness, and always maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core in ideological and political actions.

　　Strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs and stick to the spiritual home of communist party people. The lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics are the spiritual pillar and political soul of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people. The majority of party member cadres must unswervingly adhere to the guiding position of Marxism, earnestly study the theoretical systems of Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, conscientiously study the spirit of the series of important speeches by the Supreme Leader General Secretary and the new ideas, new ideas and new strategies for governing the country and making up the "calcium" of the spirit.

　　Adhere to the close combination of ideological party building and institutional party management, and put institutional construction throughout all aspects and the whole process of party building. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has formulated and revised a number of inner-party laws and regulations, which has tightened the cage of the system. The promulgation and implementation of the inner-party laws and regulations, such as the Regulations on Patrol Work in the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Regulations on Accountability in the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Code of Integrity and Self-discipline in the Communist Party of China (CPC), and the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions in the Communist Party of China (CPC), have enabled the party to be strictly governed in an all-round way. In particular, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee adopted "Several Guidelines on Inner-Party Political Life under the New Situation" and "Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC)", which provided an important system for strengthening and standardizing inner-party political life and strengthening inner-party supervision under the new situation.

　　Adhere to strict management of officials and do a good job of leading cadres, the "key minority." Adhering to the correct orientation of selecting and appointing people, selecting and appointing cadres must adhere to the principle of having both ability and political integrity, putting morality first, adhering to all corners of the country, appointing people on their merits, and adhering to the standards of good cadres with firm beliefs, serving the people, being diligent and pragmatic, daring to take responsibility, and being honest and clean. Leading cadres should be strictly self-disciplined, cautious and cautious, start from themselves and manage from people around them.

　　Maintain the overwhelming trend of the anti-corruption struggle. Shortly after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee formulated and promulgated eight regulations, which sent a strong signal that discipline should be maintained and the Party should be strictly governed. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, curbs the bones and cures the poison and cures the furuncle with fierce drugs, and insists that corruption must be countered and greed must be eliminated, thus effectively curbing the spread of corruption. To adhere to the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, we must maintain the overwhelming trend of the anti-corruption struggle and constantly win the hearts and minds of the party.

　

　　Stressing politics is a prominent feature and advantage of our party.

　　Tang Zhouyan, Party Secretary of Shandong Academy of Social Sciences

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that our party, as a Marxist political party, stresses politics as a prominent feature and advantage. Deeply understanding and grasping the spiritual essence of this important thesis is of great significance for promoting the comprehensive and strict management of the Party, advancing the new great project of Party building and winning new victories in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　Taking a clear-cut stand and talking about politics is an important magic weapon for the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to defeat the enemy. As a Marxist political party, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has never denied his political attributes, and has always taken a clear-cut stand on politics. This is our party’s outstanding characteristics and advantages, and it is also an important magic weapon for our party to grow stronger and defeat the enemy. As early as the Gutian Conference, Comrade Mao Zedong clearly proposed to "improve the political level within the Party" and "make party member’s thoughts and life within the Party politicized and scientific". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has unswervingly promoted the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party and repeatedly stressed that leading cadres should take a clear-cut stand and stress politics. Throughout the course of our party’s struggle, when the whole party stresses politics and the political life within the party is normal and healthy, the party’s cause will flourish; On the contrary, it may be full of ills and cause serious losses to the party’s cause. Standing at a new historical starting point, if we want to create a new situation in the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must carry forward this outstanding feature and advantage of our Party and stress politics with a clear-cut stand.

　　Take a clear-cut stand and say that the key to politics is to firmly establish the "four consciousnesses". Strengthening the "four consciousnesses" is the concentrated embodiment and inevitable requirement of taking a clear-cut stand and stressing politics. We should firmly establish political consciousness, adhere to the correct political direction and position, maintain a clear political mind and keen political discernment, always take the party’s banner as the banner, take the party’s direction as the direction, take the party’s will as the will, and maintain a high degree of political consistency with the CPC Central Committee; Firmly establish a sense of the overall situation, establish a correct view of the overall situation, consciously understand, obey and safeguard the overall situation, and effectively unify thoughts and actions with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee. As long as things that are beneficial to the overall situation are done well, as long as words and deeds that hinder the overall situation are resolutely opposed, the whole party will always be guaranteed to play a game of chess; Firmly establish the core consciousness, resolutely safeguard the core position of the supreme leader’s general secretary, take the maintenance of the core as the first political requirement, and achieve full trust in thought, resolute maintenance in politics, conscious obedience in organization, deep recognition in emotion, and always follow in action; Firmly establish a sense of conformity, take the initiative to align with the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core, take the initiative to align with the party’s theory, line, principles and policies, and take the initiative to align with the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee.

　　To promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party and develop in depth, we must take a clear-cut stand and stress politics. Standing at a new historical starting point, promoting the comprehensive and strict development of the party requires us to speak politics more clearly. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has persisted in focusing on, examining and solving outstanding problems within the Party politically, and has grasped the root of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way. In the process of strictly administering the party in an all-round way, we can’t just solve the problem of corruption and not solve political problems. Political problems of cadres are no less harmful to the party than corruption, and some are even more serious than corruption. At present, the strict administration of the party in an all-round way has entered a new stage, which requires us to speak politics more clearly.

　

　　Firmly establish the "four consciousnesses" and resolutely safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee

　　Zhang Lei, deputy editor-in-chief of Economic Daily

　　Firmly establishing the "four consciousnesses" and resolutely safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee are the inevitable requirements for upholding and consolidating the party’s leadership and ensuring the smooth development of the cause of the party and the state. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee pointed out: "A country and a political party have a core of leadership." "Resolutely safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee and ensuring that all party orders are prohibited are the future and destiny of the party and the country and the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups in the country."

　　From the development history of Marxist political parties, it is a basic principle of Marxist political party construction to safeguard the central authority and the core of leadership. In the practice of leading the communist movement, Marx and Engels always emphasized the importance of authority, which they believed was related to the success or failure of the revolutionary cause. The history of socialist development in the world shows that the proletariat not only needs authority to carry out revolution, but also needs such authority in the process of consolidating political power, construction and reform. The failure of the CPSU also illustrates this truth from the opposite side: once a Marxist political party with a glorious history and once very strong destroys the central authority and abandons the party’s leadership, it will inevitably lead to the tragic situation of the party and the country. This is a lesson of blood, which we must remember deeply.

　　Judging from the development history of our party in 1996, maintaining the central authority and the core of leadership is the fundamental guarantee for the continuous development of the party’s cause and the long-term stability of the country. Comrade Deng Xiaoping emphasized: "Any leading collective must have a core, and leadership without a core is unreliable.". He also pointed out that in history, the main reason for the frustration and failure of our party before Zunyi Conference was that it did not form a mature CPC Central Committee and a core of leadership that was widely expected. It was not until the central collective leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core was formed that the China Revolution embarked on the smooth development. Similarly, in the historical process of promoting reform and opening up, the mature core of leadership also plays an irreplaceable role. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has gone through a glorious course of 96 years and has been in power for 68 years in a row. The reason why he has achieved the historic achievement of standing out from the rest of the world is that he has always emphasized upholding the leadership of the Party and safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee.

　　Judging from the conditions of the times faced by our party, maintaining the central authority and the core of leadership is the need to shoulder the historical responsibility of the party and complete the historical task of the party. Great and profound changes are taking place in the world today. China is in the decisive stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way. The Party is faced with the historical task of carrying out great struggles, building great projects, advancing great undertakings and realizing great dreams. Our party has made great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention and accumulated extremely rich ruling experience, but the "four tests" and "four dangers" are still grim, and the "rushing for the exam" is far from over. Today, Socialism with Chinese characteristics is like a big ship sailing through the waves in the sea of Wang Yang. More than ever, it needs a capable, experienced and authoritative helmsman to guide it. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has led the whole party, the whole army and the people of all nationalities in China to create a brand-new situation in the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause, and has made a series of great achievements with great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance in reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and in managing the party, country and army, and won the heartfelt love and support of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all nationalities in China. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole Party formed in the practice of the new great struggle. Firmly safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee and the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary are important guarantees for us to strive for new and greater victories.

　

　　Serious inner-party political life is the basis of strictly administering the party in an all-round way.

　　Ji Zhengju, Deputy Director of the Central Compilation Bureau

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Serious inner-party political life is the fundamental basic work of strictly administering the party in an all-round way and is a major task of the whole party." If the party wants to manage the party, it must manage the political life within the party; To strictly manage the party, we must start from the political life within the party. The "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation" and a series of important expositions by the Supreme Leader General Secretary on comprehensively administering the Party strictly have profoundly expounded the great significance, fundamental principles, basic requirements and scientific path of serious political life within the Party under the new situation, which is a scientific summary and theoretical sublimation of our Party’s experience in managing the Party and providing important compliance and institutional guarantee for comprehensively administering the Party strictly.

　　Serious inner-party political life is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s fine tradition and political advantage. Over the past 96 years, one of the important reasons why our party has been able to maintain its advanced nature and purity forever is to attach importance to the role of inner-party political life in party building and make it a fine tradition and heirloom. As early as 1926, our party began to use the concept of party life in the central document. In the long-term practice, our party has gradually formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close contact with the masses, criticizing and self-criticizing, democratic centralism and strict party discipline as the main contents, which has provided an important guarantee for the development of the cause of the party and the state.

　　Serious inner-party political life is the golden key to solve the contradictions and problems existing in the party. History has proved that when the political life within the party is serious, the cause of the party and the people will flourish; Whenever the political life within the party is abnormal, the cause of the party and the people will encounter setbacks. One of the most important reasons why the Communist Party of China (CPC) can constantly overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers and move from victory to victory is that he can overcome all kinds of contradictions and negative factors existing in the party in a timely and effective manner through regular, serious and serious political life within the party, such as dogmatism, empiricism, liberalism, hedonism, bureaucracy and sectarianism. Under the new situation, only by effectively solving the problems existing in the party through the political life within the party can our party maintain its advanced nature and purity in the face of "four major tests" and "four dangers".

　　Serious inner-party political life is a melting pot for party member cadres to exercise their party spirit. Political life within the Party is the main platform for Party organizations to educate and manage party member and exercise party spirit. Party member cadres’ ability and prestige are closely related to whether they have been seriously trained in inner-party political life. Serious inner-party political life is like a melting pot, in which party member cadres consciously accept the baptism of thought and party style and discipline, and constantly temper party spirit, so that they can keep fit and be tempered into steel.

　　Serious inner-party political life is a purifier of pure party style. What kind of inner-party political life there is, there is what kind of cadre style in party member. Political life within the party can not only purify the party style, but also promote the improvement of political style, folk customs and social atmosphere by stirring up turbidity, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil spirits. It can not only ensure the purity and health of cadres in party member, but also enable the Party organizations to constantly eliminate "dust" and "viruses", realize self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement, and promote the continuous development of the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party.

　

　　Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way inevitably requires strengthening inner-party supervision.

　　Xie Feng, Professor of Party Building Teaching and Research Department of Central Party School

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attaches great importance to strengthening inner-party supervision and has made many important expositions on strengthening inner-party supervision. Both history and reality show that strengthening inner-party supervision is an inevitable requirement of strictly administering the party in an all-round way.

　　Deeply understand the significance of inner-party supervision to the comprehensive and strict administration of the party. This important significance can be understood from three aspects: first, from the historical experience of the party in power. Our party has deeply realized in its ruling practice that unsupervised power will inevitably lead to corruption, which is an iron law. As the ruling party, the biggest challenge our party faces is how to effectively supervise the power and keep the party’s advanced nature and purity forever. Among them, the most important supervision is the party’s own supervision, that is, inner-party supervision. The second is to learn from the failure of communist party in the Soviet Union. One of the main reasons for the collapse of the CPSU in the 1990s after more than 70 years in power was the lack of inner-party supervision and the abuse of power. This warns us that we should attach great importance to inner-party supervision and strictly manage the party. The third is to understand the problems faced by our party in the new period. At present, there are still many problems that need to be solved urgently in our Party. One of the important reasons is that the Party rules and regulations in party constitution have not been well implemented. To solve the problems existing in the Party, we must tighten inner-party supervision, promote the management of the Party from "loose and soft" to "strict and hard", ensure the effective implementation of party rules and discipline in party constitution, and provide an important guarantee for the comprehensive and strict management of the Party.

　　Promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the party by strengthening inner-party supervision. First, build a scientific inner-party supervision system. At present, a new inner-party supervision system with clear division of labor, clear responsibilities and three-dimensional complementarity has been formed, namely, unified leadership by the CPC Central Committee, comprehensive supervision by party committees (party groups), special supervision by discipline inspection organs, functional supervision by party departments, daily supervision by party grass-roots organizations and democratic supervision by party member. We should give full play to the role of the inner-party supervision system and promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party. Second, seize the "key minority". The object of inner-party supervision includes ordinary party member, but the focus is on leading organs and leading cadres, which is the key to strictly administering the party and strengthening inner-party supervision. Grasping the "key minority", especially solving the supervision problem of the top leaders, can play a leading and exemplary role and is of great benefit to curbing corruption and creating a good political ecology. Third, make full use of various means of inner-party supervision. These means include criticism and self-criticism, reminding conversation and admonishing conversation, debriefing and commenting on honesty, letters and visits, etc. Among them, we should pay special attention to the role of criticism and self-criticism. Criticism and self-criticism are the party’s fine traditions and good ways to find and correct shortcomings and mistakes. We must make good use of this weapon for self-defense and treatment. Fourth, strengthen the formulation and implementation of the inner-party supervision system. Adhere to the problem orientation and improve the relevant system of inner-party supervision; By adhering to the above rate, strengthening study and education, and strengthening supervision and inspection, we will do a good job in the implementation of the inner-party supervision system. Fifth, adhere to the combination of inner-party supervision and non-party supervision. The ruling position of our party determines that inner-party supervision is the most basic and the first.Only by strengthening inner-party supervision can we promote non-party supervision. At the same time, we should pay attention to the role of non-party supervision, realize the effective combination of inner-party supervision and non-party supervision, complement each other’s advantages and exert their overall strength, so as to maximize the effectiveness of supervision.

　

　　Strengthening ideals and beliefs and supplementing the "calcium" of the spirit

　　Guo Guangyin, former Party Secretary of Southeast University

　　Communist party people’s ideals and beliefs are their faith in Marxism, socialism and communism, and their loyalty to the Party and the people. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Ideals and beliefs are the spiritual’ calcium’ of communist party people. Without ideals and beliefs, ideals and beliefs will be’ calcium deficiency’ and’ rickets’." Today, if we want to push forward the new great project of party building, strictly manage the party and make the party stronger, we must ask party member cadres to make up the spiritual "calcium" of ideals and beliefs more consciously.

　　To strictly manage the party in an all-round way, we must first strengthen our ideals and beliefs. Strictly administering the party in an all-round way is a systematic project, and strengthening ideals and beliefs is the theme that runs through this project. Judging from the Party’s organization, the Communist Party of China (CPC) adhered to the ideals of socialism and communism, which enabled the Party to make clear the direction of its efforts ideologically and politically, unite people’s strength, and maintain unity and unity. From party member’s individual point of view, ideals and beliefs are the political foundation and spiritual home for communist party people to settle down, which plays a key role in guiding and directing their thoughts and actions. Some party member cadres are politically deteriorated, economically greedy, morally degenerated and corrupted in life. In the final analysis, they lack the "calcium" of the spirit of ideals and beliefs.

　　Strengthening ideals and beliefs should be based on "four possibilities" and "six noes". Regarding whether party member cadres have ideals and beliefs, the Supreme Leader General Secretary put forward the objective criterion of "four possibilities". He pointed out, "There are objective standards to measure whether a Communist party member and a leading cadre have lofty ideals of communism. It depends on whether he can adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, whether he can bear hardships first and enjoy later, whether he can work diligently and be honest, and whether he can work hard, struggle and give all his energy and even his life for his ideals." As for the firmness of ideals and beliefs, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader further put forward the standard of "six noes", which mainly depends on whether party member cadres can have political determination in the face of major political tests, whether they can establish a firm sense of purpose, whether they can be extremely responsible for their work, whether they can bear hardships first and enjoy them later, whether they can bravely shoulder heavy burdens in the face of urgent and dangerous tasks, and whether they can withstand the temptation of power, money and beauty. The criteria of "Four Musts" and "Six Musts" endow the firm ideals and beliefs with real connotations, and provide a practical yardstick for each Communist party member to test and reflect on his political consciousness, emotional attitude and behavior.

　　Make up the "calcium" of the spirit of ideals and beliefs based on reality. With ideals and beliefs and objective standards to follow, it is not enough to ensure that ideals are always firm, beliefs are always persistent, and actions are always correct. Firm and persistent ideals and beliefs will not come into being spontaneously, but we should try our best to learn, believe, understand and do things all our lives. Only by making efforts to supplement the "calcium" of the spirit of ideals and beliefs based on reality can we cultivate a "indestructible body" that can stand firm, stand the test, resist corrosion and resist risks. The firmness of ideals and beliefs comes from the power of truth, which requires party member cadres to seriously study Marxist classics and systematically master the basic Marxist theories, standpoints and methods. To strengthen ideals and beliefs, we must also strengthen the cultivation of party spirit and constantly strengthen the "four consciousnesses." The firmness of ideals and beliefs will ultimately start with doing a good job in front of you.

　

　　Democratic centralism is an important magic weapon to safeguard the unity and unity of the party.

　　Xin Xiangyang, Vice President of Information and Information Research Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences

　　Democratic centralism is the fundamental organizational system and leadership system of our party, the basic criterion for regulating political life and handling relations within the party, a scientific and effective system for ensuring the correct formulation and implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies, and an important magic weapon for safeguarding the party’s unity and unity.

　　Democratic centralism ensures the unity of the will of the whole party and lays an ideological foundation for the unity and unity of the party. There are many factors that affect the unity and unity of the party, one of which is the ideological factor. Our party has always emphasized the principle and system of democratic centralism. With this principle and system, we can deny the party’s leadership, China’s socialist system and reform and opening up, violate, distort and deny the party’s basic line, distort, vilify and deny Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s words and deeds, distort, vilify and deny the party’s history, People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s history and the people’s army’s history, and distort, vilify and deny the party’s leaders and heroic models.

　　Democratic centralism ensures the healthy development of political life within the party and provides basic norms for the unity and unity of the party. The "Several Guidelines on Inner-Party Political Life under the New Situation" adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee pointed out: "In the long-term practice, our party has insisted on carrying out serious inner-party political life as an important task of party building, and formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close contact with the masses, criticizing and self-criticizing, democratic centralism and strict party discipline as the main contents." As the basic norm of inner-party political life, democratic centralism is conducive to unifying party member’s ideological understanding, solving some problems within the party and ensuring the healthy development of inner-party political life.

　　Democratic centralism ensures the correct orientation of selecting and employing people within the party and lays a cadre foundation for the unity and unity of the party. The development of the party’s cause is inseparable from a grand cadre team, and the formation of this team is based on democratic centralism. Based on democratic centralism, our party can constantly select outstanding talents to the jobs it needs. As the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said: "Our current cadre selection mechanism is also at the first level. For example, I have worked in the countryside, served as the party branch secretary of the brigade, and worked in counties, cities, provinces and the central government." The first-level selection mechanism makes the selection of cadres not only reflect the wishes of the people, but also stand the test of political life. Without democratic centralism, some cadres will believe in the "circle culture" of cliques and consider how to pull relationships and find ways. If we earnestly implement the requirements of democratic centralism, we can train a large number of good cadres with firm beliefs, serving the people, being diligent and pragmatic, daring to take responsibility, and being honest and clean.

　　Practice has proved that democratic centralism is an important magic weapon to stimulate the creativity and vitality of the party and maintain the unity and unity of the party. We should adhere to the principle of democratic centralism to handle all kinds of relations within the Party, solve contradictions and problems within the Party, jointly safeguard unity based on the principle of party spirit, and ensure that the Party always keeps ahead of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation, always becomes the backbone of the people throughout the country in the historical process of coping with various risks and tests at home and abroad, and always becomes a strong leadership core in the historical process of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Recently, we obtained the latest spy photos of the M8, which indicates that this new model is expected to meet the public at the end of this year.

As can be seen from the spy photos, this camouflage car is a 6-seat version, which is different from the previously guessed 5-seat version M9. Although the number of seats has changed, the overall shape and outline are highly similar to the current M9, including the body size, and there is no significant difference. The comparative analysis shows that the front face design of the new car is closer to the boundary M7, which is embodied in the straighter front cabin cover shape and the headlight edge shape similar to the boundary M7.

In addition, the vehicle in the spy photos adopts a short front suspension design, which is conducive to maximizing the utilization of internal space in a slightly reduced body size. In terms of details, the new car seems to have cancelled the roof rack and the roof lidar.

According to the spy photos that flowed out before, it is expected that the M8 will be equipped with taillights of the same style as the M9, and equipped with the same lamp programming function. The exposure of this information has undoubtedly increased the market’s expectation and curiosity about M8.

Because of the aging immune system, vaccines are less effective for the elderly. Scientists believe that it is more important and more widely used to develop drugs that can enhance the immune function of the elderly than to develop vaccines for the elderly.

Along with skin aging, there is also the immune system. | Figure worm creativity

Recently, many deaths caused by influenza vaccine in Korea have attracted attention. As of October 31st, the death toll rose to 83, of which 71 were over 70 years old (accounting for 85.5%). In addition to the possible quality problems of the vaccine itself, it also reminds us of the fact that the role of the vaccine for young people and the elderly is different.

This is also a difficult point in the development of COVID19 vaccine.

Increasing age, and aging immune system

As people get older, we experience a series of physical changes, such as hearing loss, skin relaxation, joint injury and so on, and even the vitality of the immune system gradually decreases. This phenomenon is called "immune aging". This is also the reason why the elderly have become the main targets of infection and death in Covid-19.

In the face of the out-of-control epidemic in COVID-19, USA, and the emergence of the second round of epidemic peak in Europe, vaccine research and development is in full swing in various countries, which is expected to be a life-saving straw to reverse the situation.

However, vaccines, a means of "actively mobilizing the human immune system to prevent real virus attacks", are usually far less effective in the elderly population-the immune response of the elderly to vaccines is often weaker. That is, the immune system of the elderly is more difficult to be mobilized by vaccines.

This means that vaccines may not protect those who need protection most.

So, how does the immune system age?

Our bodies are naturally resistant to most pathogens. Although the environment is full of pathogens, we still live well most of the time.

The human immune system is divided into innate immunity and acquired immunity. The former is universal immunity. When the body encounters foreign objects (such as skin and mucous membrane), innate immunity will respond quickly. However, although it responds quickly, its ability is limited and it is often broken. For example, when it meets Covid-19, it can’t hold on.

The latter is the acquired immunity of the body, that is, for some pathogens that have not been seen before, the body must first fight with it and learn from it before it can gain immunity to it. The power of acquired immunity is very powerful. As long as the body can withstand the attack of pathogens in "learning" and meet the same pathogens in the future, it will not be a problem at all. For example, infectious diseases such as smallpox and chickenpox, if you get it once, you will generally not get it again.

When the body is invaded by foreign pathogens, such as viruses, innate immunity and acquired immunity will cooperate to resist.

In the innate immune system, immune cells, such as phagocytes and natural killer cells, will recognize or even devour the virus first, and secrete a large number of cytokines to summon more immune cells with different functions to join the battle. Some of these cells, such as phagocytes and dendritic cells, will also transmit the antigens of these viruses (substances that can cause antibody production) to the subsequent T cells and B cells, which are representatives of acquired immune cells.

T-cells and B-cells (shown here as antibodies produced by B-cells) are representatives of immune cells, and they are named after mature parts. The former is mature in thymus (English) and the latter is mature in bone marrow (English). Both are star immune cells. | Figure worm creativity

These two kinds of cells can not only produce antibodies and cytokines to quickly destroy the virus, but also form specific memory cells, so that they can respond quickly after encountering the same virus again.

When the immune system destroys the virus, immune cells will gather locally in the body, forming redness, swelling and heat pain, which is what we usually call inflammation. Proinflammatory factors secreted during this period, such as interleukin -1 and tumor necrosis factor α, can promote the elimination of pathogenic microorganisms, but excessive inflammation may lead to cytokine storms and even life-threatening. Another kind of anti-inflammatory factor, such as interleukin -10, can prevent excessive inflammation and maintain the balance of the body environment.

These factors together constitute our immunity.

And what will happen to our immune function as we get older? What is the impact on vaccine development?

Compared with young people, the immune aging of the elderly is mainly manifested in two aspects:

The initial number of T cells and B cells decreased. Vaccine mainly stimulates B cells to produce antibodies. Only when there are a large number of B cells with high diversity of receptors in the body, the greater the probability of recognizing antigens, and the targeted (directional) antibodies and memory B cells can be formed. -The decrease of B cells will undoubtedly weaken this effect.

Chronic low-grade inflammation is easy to occur after vaccination. The aging and necrotic cells in the elderly can not be removed in time, which will stimulate the immune system continuously, causing immune cells (such as macrophages) to continuously secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the immune response cannot be terminated. The consequence is that the immune system can’t respond the next time the pathogenic microorganism attacks the human body, that is, immune dysfunction.

These lead to different effects of vaccines in the elderly and young people.

Vaccine research and development under "immune aging";

A special vaccine or an auxiliary drug to reverse aging?

For Covid-19, there are about 50 kinds of vaccines being tested in the world, but scientists are still not sure whether the vaccines are equally effective for the elderly.

One of the vaccines "mRNA-1273" being developed by Moderna, a biological company located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, produced antibody levels similar to those of younger subjects in 40 subjects over the age of 56.

However, Pfizer and BioNTech, pharmaceutical companies located in Mainz, Germany, found in the first phase of the experiment that the antibody level induced by the vaccine "BNT162b2" was only half that of young people. It is certain that the antibody level produced by the elderly after vaccination is higher than that caused by the virus infection of their peers, but this is still not enough to explain whether the antibody induced by "BNT162b2" is enough to protect the elderly from the real virus attack.

Most of the vaccines being developed have elderly subjects, but more than half of the 18 latest candidate vaccines have no elderly subjects in clinical trials, which greatly increases the potential risks of vaccines to the elderly.

Some vaccines are being developed, which may have hidden dangers for the elderly. | Figure worm creativity

Facing the phenomenon of immune aging of the elderly, scientists are also actively looking for strategies.

Mainly includes the following two aspects:

(1) The first is how to enhance the immune response of the elderly induced by vaccines.

According to the experience in the research and development of influenza vaccine, the elderly are usually treated by increasing immune stimulating components (such as adjuvants) or increasing the dose of virus antigen to achieve the expected antibody level.

Other scientists have turned to developing drugs to enhance the immune system function of the elderly, that is, supplementing drugs at the same time of vaccination. This way aims to promote the rejuvenation of the immune system of the elderly, even reverse immune aging, and can also resist the virus more effectively when it is infected.

In the above two schemes, the research on reversing age, especially immune aging, has made some progress. In the past 20 years, scientists have found some key small molecular targets. One kind of anti-aging drugs acts on the protein molecule mTOR in the cell growth regulation pathway. Experiments show that inhibiting the expression of mTOR can prolong the life of Drosophila and even mice.

Joan Mannick, one of the founders of resTORbio, a biotechnology company in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, said that "mTOR participates in many biological regulation mechanisms, especially the process of human aging and organ dysfunction".

During his work at Novartis Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Mannick published a study on mTOR protein in 2018, trying to answer the question "Can reducing the content of mTOR protein in the elderly improve the immune system function of the elderly?". 264 participants in the study received low-dose mTOR inhibitor or placebo respectively, and after six weeks, the infection rate of influenza virus and the effect of influenza vaccine were followed up. It was found that the number of people suffering from influenza in the elderly who received mTOR inhibitors decreased significantly, and the immune response caused by influenza vaccine was stronger.

Another study shows that mTOR inhibitor RTB101 can enhance the immune response of the elderly after coronavirus infection, and the elderly who receive mTOR inhibitor have lower coronavirus load and recover faster. At present, resTORbio is testing the preventive or therapeutic effect of RTB101 on Covid-19 infection in 550 elderly people over 65 years old in nursing homes.

In addition, at least four research teams are studying the therapeutic effect of rapamycin, another more mature mTOR inhibitor, on the elderly over 60 years old infected with COVID-19.

In addition, metformin, a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, also inhibits the activity of mTOR protein. Clinical data from China and the United States show that diabetic or obese patients who take metformin have less symptoms of Covid-19 infection and lower mortality.

Carolyn Bramante, a researcher at the University of Minnesota in the United States, pointed out that people with diabetes and obesity show immune deficiency very similar to that of the elderly. At present, Bramante and his colleagues are conducting a study involving 1,500 people to explore whether taking metformin can prevent Covid-19’s infection or alleviate its symptoms. Although the mechanism is not clear, decades of clinical data show that metformin has high safety, can be used in children and even pregnant women, and the cost is very low, which are the advantages of metformin.

(2) The second key is how to avoid causing or how to terminate chronic inflammatory reaction.

Studies have found that losmapimod, an anti-inflammatory drug used to treat muscular dystrophy, can inhibit chronic inflammatory response and improve the body’s response when viruses or bacteria invade. A biological company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA recruited 400 volunteers to verify the therapeutic effect of losmapimod on patients with COVID-19. The drug may be able to treat symptoms such as respiratory failure after Covid-19 infection, thus saving patients’ lives.

Many scientists say that it is more important to develop drugs to enhance the immune function of the elderly than to develop COVID-19 vaccine for the elderly, and the latter is more universal, which can improve the protection effect of influenza vaccine, COVID-19 vaccine and even other vaccines in the future. A deep understanding of immune aging and its regulation mechanism and the development of related drugs will also have far-reaching implications for the treatment of other diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

In short, although there are always difficulties in vaccine development, known or unknown, scientists have been working hard and believe that methods will always be found.
