What is illegal fund raising?

Article 2 of China’s Regulations on Prevention and Disposal of Illegal Fund-raising stipulates that illegal fund-raising refers to the act of absorbing funds from unspecified objects by promising to repay the principal and interest or giving other investment returns without the legal permission of the State Council’s financial management department or violating the national financial management regulations. The term "the State Council financial management department" as mentioned in these Regulations refers to the People’s Bank of China, the State Council financial supervision and management institution and the State Council foreign exchange management department.

What are the characteristics of illegal fund-raising?

Illegality: absorbing funds without the approval of relevant departments according to law or in the form of legal operation;

Openness: Publicize to the public through the media, promotion meetings, leaflets, mobile phone messages, etc.

Inducement: promise to repay the principal and interest or pay the return in the form of money, kind, equity, etc. within a certain period;

Sociality: absorbing funds from the public, that is, unspecified objects in society.

Participation in illegal fund-raising is not protected by law.

The government doesn’t pay the bill!

Article 25 of the Regulations on Prevention and Disposal of Illegal Fund-raising stipulates: "The participants shall bear the losses incurred by participating in illegal fund-raising activities." That is, if the illegal fund-raiser and the illegal fund-raiser still have losses after repaying the funds to the fund-raiser according to the principle of "chasing after all" and "returning after all", the fund-raiser shall bear the losses by himself. Losses suffered by participating in illegal fund-raising activities shall not be passed on to state-owned banks, other financial institutions and any other units that have not participated in illegal fund-raising activities. This means that once the public participates in illegal fund-raising, their interests are not protected by law, and the government, relevant departments and judicial organs may not be required to bear the losses.

Common routines of illegal fund-raising

Illegal fund-raising criminals in order to lure the masses to be deceived and achieve the purpose of illegal fund-raising, usually take the following measures to defraud the masses of trust:

First, draw cakes to attract attention

First of all, fund-raisers will weave one or more projects as high as possible, and paint a blueprint with rich expected returns under the guise of "new technology", "new revolution", "new policy", "regional chain" and "virtual currency", so as to "hang up" investors’ appetite and make them "not to be missed" and "now or never" Fund-raisers usually draw "cakes" big to attract investors’ attention as much as possible.

Second, first give the sweetness to attract investment

In order to make you invest more money, criminals often give out "dividends" in full as scheduled in the early stage, so that you can feel that this investment is reliable and real, and you can actually get money. In fact, all this money is borrowed from the old, even the money you invested yourself, which is simply impossible to last. His purpose is to make you increase investment, take a long-term view, catch big fish, and then rob Peter to pay Paul, use the money of later generations to cash in the previous principal and interest, and then secretly transfer funds and abscond with the money after reaching a certain scale.

Third, impress and seduce through acquaintances

In some cases of illegal fund-raising with the elderly as the main development goal, criminals often seize the old people’s sense of holding a group and herd mentality. Some old people can’t help but participate when they see their acquaintances who have voted and earned money. This is their trap. Often, the victims in a case have some relationships, such as relatives, friends, neighbors, etc., and even some criminals get close to the old people in the form of "recognizing relatives", which leads to being cheated.

Fourth, false propaganda confuses the public

Use all resources to make the momentum bigger. Fund-raisers usually hold various publicity activities, such as press conferences, product promotion meetings, on-site observation meetings, experience days, knowledge lectures, etc. A large number of "technical certifications", "award certificates" and "government approvals" that are true or false are displayed; Publish some video materials inspected by leaders, and take photos with government officials and stars; Deliberately selecting the event in the government conference center and auditorium is extremely deceptive because of its large scene and high specifications.

Five, confuse the concept of stealing investment

The criminals blew the listing in the local stock exchange center into listing, and confused the listing in the American OTCBB market with listing on NASDAQ; Some use new terms such as electronic gold, investment funds and online speculation to confuse the masses and pretend to be new investment tools or financial products; Some use monopoly, agency, franchise chain, consumption value-added rebate, e-commerce and other new business methods to deceive the people to invest.

Be careful when you encounter the following 11 situations.

1 to invest in the pension industry can get high returns or reserve beds, pre-existing membership fees can get income from pension as a cover;

2. Under the guise of private equity and partnership, but not for enterprise industrial and commercial registration registration;

3. Under the guise of "watching advertisements and earning extra money", "consumer rebate", "charity", "mutual aid", "virtual currency" and "blockchain";

4. Under the guise of investing in overseas equity, options, foreign exchange, gold, futures, etc., especially encouraging the development of others and giving them a commission, some hold "investment" promotion conferences in overseas high-end hotels such as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries;

5. Obviously beyond the business scope of company registration, especially without the qualification to engage in financial business;

6. The company’s website and server are located overseas or the company’s executives are foreigners, making false propaganda;

7. The company’s website is not formally filed, or the website name and investment projects are frequently changed;

8. Require the payment of investment funds in cash, or transfer funds to personal accounts or overseas accounts;

9. Promise ultra-high rate of return, especially promise "static" and "dynamic" returns;

10 gifts to attract the elderly by organizing inspection, tourism, lectures and other means;

11 in the streets, supermarkets, shopping malls and other places where people flow and gather, set up stalls and distribute advertisements of "wealth management products", especially for middle-aged and elderly people.

What should I do if I encounter illegal fund-raising?

There are seven steps in total:

1. Verify the industrial and commercial registration. Inquire about the industrial and commercial registration materials through the enterprise credit information publicity system to find out whether the relevant enterprises are legal enterprises registered through legal procedures. If the corporate identity is illegal and untrue, it is fraud.

2. Look at the return on investment. Compared with whether the interest rate of bank loans and the return rate of ordinary financial products are too high, the obviously high return on investment is likely to be an investment trap in most cases. According to the law, the annual interest rate of private lending exceeds 24% and is not protected by law.

3. Check relevant information. Through the website of the government’s main (supervisory) department, we can inquire whether the relevant enterprises are listed companies approved by the state, whether they can issue company stocks and bonds, and whether they are equity trading places stipulated by the state. If they do not have the main qualifications to issue and sell stocks, sell financial products and carry out deposit and loan business, they are suspected of illegal fund-raising. If criminals promote the so-called stocks to be listed in domestic and foreign securities markets in the name of "securities investment consulting company" and "property rights brokerage company", they can check whether the issuance has been approved through the government website.

4. See if it is operated in the sun. Many illegal fund-raising behaviors are hidden. They introduce each other through relatives and friends, and then develop offline, forming a network to absorb funds. They do not sign formal contracts, nor issue credentials, and promise rebates, but they do not fulfill their promises; Or compiling so-called "good projects" dare not sell them publicly in the market, but operate underground to lure people to buy them. The general public must adhere to the sunshine operation when investing in financial management, which financial products are publicly sold in the market, and must not participate in "black market transactions".

5. Know where the investment funds go. Formal investment projects clearly explain the purpose of absorbing funds, and investors can also understand what their money has done. As for the funds absorbed by illegal fund-raising, it is difficult for depositors to know what the money they invested has done and where it has gone.

6. Pay attention to and inquire about media reports. Some influential illegal fund-raising cases will be reported by the relevant media. It is necessary to search and query the records of illegal scope of relevant enterprises through media and Internet resources to prevent criminals from repeating them in different places.

7. Consult legal professionals. For low-risk and high-return investment advice to relatives and friends, we should communicate and consult with knowledgeable friends.

Pay attention to the latest research progress of avian influenza epidemic

Recently, a case of human infection caused by avian influenza occurred in Texas, USA, involving a dairy worker. This is the second human case of avian influenza reported in the United States. At present, the patient’s condition is mild and has recovered.

At present, there is no evidence that avian influenza virus has spread from person to person, but infection has been found in 32 dairy cows in at least 8 States. Therefore, scientists and food safety experts are worried that the discovery of avian influenza in dairy cows is likely to affect the spread and spread among dairy cows.

Avian influenza virus experts have noticed that compared with birds, the discovery of avian influenza virus in poultry and mammals is a new phenomenon, which means the variability of the virus.

According to the current report, in addition to birds, many mammals, such as minks, skunks and raccoons, have also reported cases of bird flu.

Experts speculate that it may be accidental, that is, mammals may be infected by eating dead birds or touching bird droppings, but the virus does not spread between their groups.

Scientists believe that vaccination is an effective means to prevent and control avian influenza in poultry, but for large mammals such as cows, the vaccine effect is limited.

At present, scientists are speeding up the research on genetically engineered animals that can resist avian influenza virus and developing more effective vaccines to deal with the potential avian influenza virus pandemic.

In a word, through the experience and lessons of COVID-19 epidemic, active prevention is the key to prevent and control this potential global health threat.

According to the official report of CDC, the symptoms of avian influenza virus infection in humans are not specific, ranging from mild eye infection to severe respiratory symptoms, and also include common symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat and dyspnea. Severe cases may require hospitalization.

In order to accurately diagnose and identify whether the patient is infected with avian influenza virus, it should be suggested to collect samples from the patient’s respiratory tract for laboratory pathogen detection.

According to the latest report of FDA, in a large-scale study, it was found that pasteurized milk contained avian influenza virus particles (the virus itself has been inactivated), but it did not seem to pose a risk to human health.

FDA epidemic monitor said that the pasteurization process has been providing good health and safety guarantee for public health for hundreds of years, and it is believed that the current avian influenza virus will not pose a health risk to consumers.

"Even if viruses are detected in raw milk, pasteurization can usually eliminate pathogens to a level that does not pose a risk to consumers’ health."

FDA officials added that "in addition to evaluating various types of dairy products (whole milk, cream), more tests and analysis are being conducted on milk on the shelves of stores across the United States".

However, avian influenza virus has been detected in raw milk before, and health authorities have been advising people not to eat raw milk.

April 24th: The latest monitoring by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that there are cases of avian influenza virus infecting cows in nine states:

　　In the past beginning of autumn, the "first cup of milk tea in autumn" was once again screened. According to the data of Meituan, on the same day in beginning of autumn, Meituan’s take-out platform sold over 53 million drinks, up 34% year-on-year, and the sales of 10 brands exceeded one million drinks.

　　Greeting beginning of autumn with milk tea is a unique sense of ceremony for a new generation of young people, but after the milk tea carnival, some people began to regret it a little. The reason is that, in the words of netizens, "the first cup of milk tea in autumn became the first insomnia in autumn".

　　In Little Red Book, as of August 13th, there were more than 650,000 notes on the topic # Insomnia after drinking the first cup of milk tea in autumn # and as many as 380,000 notes on the topic #. Many netizens vomited in the middle of the night, "Tea is drunk at nine o’clock, and people haven’t slept until six o’clock", "I like drinking milk tea and staying up all night" and "Insomnia comes here to gather".

　　What puzzles many consumers is: Why is milk tea so refreshing?

　　The answer is that caffeine is naturally contained in tea, so caffeine is generally found in tea drinks containing tea. How much caffeine does a cup of milk tea contain? When can drinking milk tea easily lead to insomnia?

The Secret of Caffeine in Milk Tea

Is drinking milk tea easy to lose sleep?

"Milk tea insomnia list" attracts attention

　　Before "Caffeine in Milk Tea" caused concern, some netizens spontaneously started the "Milk Tea Insomnia Ranking" on social platforms. Because it is a subjective evaluation, the evaluation dimensions adopted by netizens mainly lie in insomnia times and insomnia time. For example, a certain milk tea drinks insomnia every time, a certain milk tea starts to feel refreshed in the afternoon, and a certain milk tea prolongs the sleep time by two or three hours … Some netizens spontaneously started the "Insomnia Milk Tea Collection".

　　Image source: social platform

　　Behind these competing "folk lists" is that with the increasing consumption of tea and gradually becoming a part of daily life, people are paying more and more attention to insomnia caused by drinking milk tea. At the same time, because the "factors" that cause insomnia in tea are not clear, consumers can only "cross the river by feeling the stones" and use their bodies to do tests.

　　In November last year, Bawang Tea Ji announced the caffeine content of some of her drinks. Subsequently, the caffeine content of her drinks exceeded that of Red Bull drinks, which caused a heated discussion. Red Bull Beverage, which claims to relieve fatigue, contains about 75mg (mg) of caffeine in 500ml of two cans, while the caffeine content in Boya Juexian, a 580ml classic drink of Bawang Chaji, is about 166mg. In this regard, some netizens commented that "it is the first time to know that milk tea contains caffeine content".

　　In May of this year, the topic of "Wan Li Mulan, whose netizens dominate Wang Chaji, couldn’t sleep after drinking" was rushed.The hot search list ranked first, and the reading volume of the topic exceeded 120 million. Bawang Chaji responded that the caffeine content of Wan Li Mulan is 235mg, which is equivalent to a cup of latte of the same specification.

　　In fact, many consumers don’t know that tea contains caffeine. According to the Survey on Consumers’ Cognition and Attitude towards Caffeine in China (2023) released by Kexin Food and Health Information Exchange Center in September 2023, 52.15% of the respondents did not know that tea contained caffeine. However, according to the countryThe dietary caffeine intake level of China residents and its risk assessment issued by the Risk Assessment Center in May 2021. In China, for adult consumers, the highest contribution rate of caffeine intake is tea, tea beverage, milk tea and coffee.

　　Because tea contains caffeine, drinks containing tea will inevitably contain caffeine. However, the caffeine content of different drinks still varies greatly.

　　From the "Collection of Insomnia Milk Tea", "Collection of Insomnia Milk Tea" and "List of Insomnia Milk Tea" spontaneously produced by netizens, it can be seen that consumers are not only eager to know the specific content of caffeine in milk tea, but also hope to know in a simpler and more intuitive way: How strong is a cup of milk tea? Is it easy to cause insomnia? Is it suitable for drinking? What time is suitable for drinking? To this end, some tea brands decided to respond to the demand.

The Secret of Caffeine in Milk Tea

Hi Tea Industry is the first to announce the "Caffeine Traffic Light" health label.

More than half of decaffeinated and labeled as "green light" drinks

　　On August 15th, Xicha fully publicized the caffeine content of the ready-made drinks currently on sale in WeChat applet, online store and cup labeling. From August 15th to 17th, consumers who buy any products of Hi-Tea can also receive a complimentary caffeine traffic light identification card with the order.

　　As a new brand of tea brewed with original leaf tea, the tea soup in hi-tea drinks naturally contains caffeine.According to the caffeine content, Xicha classifies the drinks into four levels: decaffeinated, green, yellow and red, where green represents caffeine content < 50mg/ cup, yellow represents caffeine content 50-100mg/ cup and red represents caffeine content > 100mg/ cup.

　　The grading results show that,Among the ready-made drinks currently sold in all stores of Xicha, there are 19 products with caffeine-free and caffeine content marked as "green light", accounting for about 53%., including most popular fruit tea products such as succulent grapes, succulent peaches and plums, succulent mangmangmang, and two 0-caffeine drinks, namely roasted brown sugar bobo milk and brown sugar bobo real milk; There are 8 products with caffeine content labeled as "yellow light", accounting for about 22%, including tea products such as Zhizhi Lvyan tea queen and pure Lvyan tea queen, and a small number of fruit tea products such as Qingti light lemon tea. There are 9 products with caffeine content marked as "red light", accounting for 25%, including American coffee drinks, lattes and some light milk tea products. The caffeine content of "red light" drinks is mostly within 125mg/ cup, and the highest caffeine content is 175.5mg/ cup.

　　In addition to helping consumers clearly understand the caffeine content of drinks through the "traffic light", Xicha also provides guidance on the recommended drinking time of each drink according to the principle of caffeine metabolism in human body and related research.Products with caffeine content marked as "red light" are recommended to be drunk before afternoon; "Yellow light" products are recommended to be drunk before evening; "Green light" products can be easily enjoyed anytime and anywhere; The two "0 Caffeine" products can be drunk even at night.

　　That is to say, consumers who are afraid of insomnia and are prone to insomnia should "brake" when they encounter "red light" products at night; When you encounter a "green light" product, you can "walk freely" without fear.

　　This drinking time guide is similar to the "milk tea insomnia list" made by netizens spontaneously, but the evaluation by netizens is subjective, because everyone’s physical condition and caffeine tolerance are very different, which leads to the evaluation list made from this. It can’t really and objectively feedback the actual caffeine content of drinks. However, the "Caffeine Traffic Light" logo and the suggested drinking time guide on the line after the evaluation by authoritative organizations are more objective, simple and clear, and the applicability is more universal, which reduces the difficulty for consumers to identify and choose caffeine drinks.

The Secret of Caffeine in Milk Tea

Tea becomes high-frequency consumer goods

Consumers are prone to excessive caffeine intake.

　　On the daily intake of caffeine, at present, the Chinese government has not issued the recommended standard, nor has it issued relevant laws and regulations on the labeling of caffeine content in freshly made tea.

　　In the international market, the recommended intake of caffeine is 300-400mg per day for adults. According to the Scientific Opinions on Caffeine Safety issued by the European Bureau in May 2015, the daily caffeine intake of children is below 3mg/kg, that of pregnant/lactating women is below 200mg, and that of adults (non-pregnant women) is below 400mg. A single intake of 200mg or less will generally not bring safety problems to healthy adults; The US Food and Drug Administration suggested that the intake of 400mg of caffeine for healthy adults is safe, but advised pregnant women to "try not to eat or eat less caffeinated foods and drugs".

　　Excessive caffeine intake does have an impact on the human body. Ceng Ting, an attending physician in the Clinical Nutrition Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, said that excessive caffeine intake will induce symptoms such as accelerated heart rate and palpitations, and it will also have a certain impact on the nervous system. It may also extend the time required to fall asleep; Long-term excessive intake can also cause an increase in blood pressure and blood sugar. Many studies have shown that it is relatively safe for most adults to consume less than 400 mg of caffeine a day, while those who are lighter or special people should choose according to their adaptability. For example, people with caffeine intolerance, pregnant women, menstruating women, children, patients with gastric ulcer/gastritis, etc., should consume less products containing caffeine.

　　However, with the increasing frequency of tea consumption, people’s caffeine intake may increase unconsciously. Last year, the research teams of Tsinghua University and Central University of Finance and Economics conducted a survey on 5,281 college students in Beijing. The results showed that 21.3% of the respondents drank 1 cup of milk tea per week, 21.3% drank 2-3 cups of milk tea per week and 20.6% drank 4-6 cups per week. Along with the high frequency of milk tea consumption, the discussion about "drinking milk tea for insomnia and palpitations" has also become a hot topic many times.

　　Research on Tsinghua University and Central University of Finance and Economics

　　In order to avoid drinking milk tea for a while and regretting after drinking milk tea, it is particularly important to master the specific caffeine content of each drink and take caffeine scientifically and reasonably to avoid its damage to the body, especially to sleep. Previously, Ding Guanghong, a representative of the National People’s Congress, had proposed grading the caffeine content in beverages. For prepackaged and bottled beverages, caffeine content should be added to the nutritional composition list of bottled beverages containing caffeine, and beverages with caffeine content exceeding 40mg should be marked; For take-away street drinking shops, caffeine labels can be affixed to menus and take-away cups.

　　Considering the universal tolerance of Chinese people to caffeine and the frequency of drinking, Xicha marked the caffeine content of its drinks, and classified drinks with a content greater than 100mg as "red light" drinks, which brought stricter standards. At the same time, under the psychological demand that consumers are generally afraid of insomnia when drinking milk tea, Xicha further provides guidance on the recommended drinking time of each drink according to the principle of caffeine metabolism in human body.

　　This is undoubtedly a pioneering move in the domestic tea industry. In this regard, Kai Zhong, director of Kexin Food and Health Information Exchange Center, believes that there is no mandatory labeling requirement for caffeine in existing drinks in China at present, and it is worthy of recognition that enterprises are willing to take the initiative to label it, which will not only improve consumers’ right to know, but also help them to arrange their diet and consumption rationally.

The Secret of Caffeine in Milk Tea

Visualization, health and standardization

Xicha promotes the continuous upgrading of tea industry.

　　With the gradual popularization of health concept and the rise of health awareness, consumers are now paying more and more attention to the ingredient list and ingredients of tea. As one of the head brands of new tea, hi-tea dares to be the first and has made many pioneering moves in promoting the health, transparency and standardization of drinks.

　　In October, 2023, Xicha disclosed the formula raw materials, nutritional components and traceability information of the products on sale, and simultaneously announced the main nutritional components of the drinks on sale, including calories, protein, trans fatty acids, fats, carbohydrates, etc. After that, "formula disclosure" has become a "standard" for all products of Xicha.

　　At present, there is no mandatory regulation on the labeling of ready-made and ready-to-sell foods in China. Judging from the existing policies and regulations, whether or not to disclose the formula information depends more on the new tea brand’s own considerations, and the extent to which the formula information is disclosed still depends mainly on the independent decision of the enterprise. Under the leading role of Xicha, other brands in the industry have followed suit.

　　On the basis of product transparency, Xicha continues to improve product quality and promote healthy drinks. In March of this year, Xicha and Pamela, a global top-stream fitness blogger, launched a series of products with "light burden recommendation". After that, Xicha also launched an all-round sugar control action. Since May 2024, Xicha has gradually launched a free "true zero calorie sugar" for fruit tea products, and launched a "+slow sugar succulent grape" made of low GI sugar raw materials, bringing more healthy product choices to consumers.

　　In July, 2024, Xicha also issued the enterprise standard of "Fresh Tea Drinks" based on "four truths and seven zeros". "Four truths and seven zeros" means that the fresh tea must be made of "real tea, real milk, real fruit and real sugar", and the products meet the requirements of "0 creamer, 0 essence, 0 fructose syrup, 0 non-dairy creamer and 0 hydrogenated vegetable oil.

　　Compared with other head tea brands, this standard is more detailed and strict, and it is called the strictest healthy tea standard in the industry. In this regard, some insiders pointed out that the standard of hi-tea has the role of a weather vane, which will drive other tea brands to gradually follow up and help promote the upgrading and development of the tea industry.

　　The latest caffeine "traffic light" grading label and drinking time guide are another pioneering move of tea-loving. Xicha hopes that through the active disclosure of its own product formula, it will bring consumers clearer tea drinking guidelines, continuously promote the healthy upgrading and iteration of products, and continuously promote the healthy level of tea products.

The US military in Syria has been in trouble recently. In the US-controlled area of dayr az zawr in northern Syria, the fighting between Arab tribes and Kurdish armed forces, both allies of the US military, has lasted for more than 20 days, resulting in more than 190 deaths. Although the U.S. military urged the two sides to cease fire and asked them to go to a U.S. military base called Al-Omer for negotiations, the fighting did not stop because of the intervention of the U.S. military. At present, the military conflict has spread to Aleppo, another province in northern Syria. The fierce fighting has seriously affected the food supply of people in the region, and some people even fled to Iraq to escape the fighting.

The differentiated military assistance of the US military has buried hidden dangers of conflict.

The conflict between Arab tribes and Kurdish armed forces in dayr az zawr has a long history. Although they jointly oppose the Syrian government and support the US military occupation of the area east of the Euphrates River in dayr az zawr, the differentiated military assistance of the US military has laid a hidden danger of conflict.

In 2015, the United States joined hands with Kurdish armed forces to control the northeast of Syria. However, after the failure to overthrow the Syrian government, the United States turned to seek to split Syria, and favored the Kurds’ demands for independence. The Kurds in dayr az zawr gradually became the most loyal regional agents of the US military. The U.S. military provided them with heavy weapons, assisted in the establishment of military schools, and carried out technical training such as special forces and field assault, which finally enabled the Kurds to organize a relatively formal military force.

In contrast, although the Arab tribes in this area have the same goal as the United States in overthrowing the Syrian government, they do not pursue independence, and the US military has therefore implemented "limited military assistance" to them. Arab tribes can only get light weapons, and lack formal military training, and have never established formal armed forces.

With such military assistance, there are more than 10,000 Kurdish armed men in dayr az zawr, while the Arab tribes are "only" about 1,100. Paradoxically, the population of Arab tribes in dayr az zawr is as high as 95%, and the rise of Kurdish armed forces makes Arab tribes constantly complain that their territorial security is threatened.

Long-term accumulation of powder kegs is inevitable. The fuse of the latest round of conflict is that Kurdish armed forces detained a leader of the Arab tribe. In late August, the Kurdish armed forces invited Ahmed Khabir, the leader of the Arab tribe "Arab Committee", to the area controlled by the former, but Khabir was arrested by the Kurdish armed forces on charges of "treason" and "liaising with the Syrian government" as soon as he arrived. This move aroused the anger of all Arab tribes in dayr az zawr. They demanded that the Kurdish armed forces release Khabir within 12 hours, or they would launch an attack, which was flatly rejected by the Kurdish armed forces, and the conflict broke out.

The US military’s slow mediation is called mediation, but it is actually biased.

The fighting between Kurdish armed forces and Arab tribes is extremely fierce. The conflict on September 2 alone caused more than 50 casualties. As a common ally of the two countries, the US military chose to watch the fire from the other side of the bank, and said that the US military would stop patrolling the area because of the deteriorating security situation. In this regard, the article published by the Syrian independent newspaper "Motherland" on the same day hit the nail on the head. "The US military will intervene after waiting for the warring parties to be exhausted, so as to consolidate its important position in this region." The article stated that the US military tried to weaken the strength of both sides of the conflict by maintaining apparent neutrality. On the one hand, it supported the military actions of Kurdish armed forces, and on the other hand, it announced its support for Arab tribes to regain the rights deprived by Kurdish armed forces.

After many days, the US military finally launched "mediation" on September 5, inviting both sides of the conflict to negotiate in the American military base in Omer, Aleppo. The Kurds immediately responded positively, but the Arab tribes only sent a low-level representative and expressed concern that they would be ambushed or arrested again. The negotiations between the two sides soon broke down. Syrian political expert Mahin commented that this is a "doomed failure" negotiation. He pointed out that the US military did not openly exert any pressure on the Kurdish armed forces in releasing the arrested Arab tribal leaders, and the US military should ask the Kurdish armed forces to release the Arab tribal leaders first, and then hold talks.

The US military continues to steal oil in Syria, and the uneven distribution of spoils promotes the continuation of the conflict.

Dayr az zawr, known as the oil and gas basket of Syria, has about 80% oil reserves in Syria. After the US military seized the area east of the Euphrates River from the Syrian government, it meant occupying almost all the oil fields in the province. They set up bases around oil fields to ensure the "smooth" stealing of Syrian oil resources, and most of the oil proceeds flow to the US military to pay for its high military expenditure costs in Syria, while the other part flows to Kurdish armed forces. However, as an ally of the US military, the Arab tribes, like all Syrians in government-controlled areas, watch the oil being transported abroad, but they have to bear the high gasoline and diesel costs caused by the US economic sanctions policy in their lives.

An article published in "Motherland" commented, "The Arab tribes in Deir ez-Zor account for the majority of the local population, but only have very few in the region.smallPart of the wealth. Under the threat of Kurdish armed forces, the leaders of Arab tribes can’t even enjoy a decent position. It is for this reason that Arab tribal leader Ibrahim Afler recently called for the continuation of actions against Kurdish armed forces. Yusuf Lifar, a Syrian military expert, pointed out that tribal fighters are usually good at ambushes and covert operations, and now they choose to attack Kurdish armed forces head-on, showing the determination of Arab tribes. The presence of the US military has aggravated the unprecedented internal turmoil in dayr az zawr and plunged itself into a conflict that may not end soon.

From overthrowing the legitimate government to splitting the territory, the US military has done everything in Syria, and it seems that such means have not stopped. According to a recent report in Syria’s Fuxing Daily, the US military is in contact with the Druze people in Suweida province, Syria, trying to incite them to rebel against the government’s rule and finally seek independence. The root of Deir ez-Zor’s bloody turmoil is that the United States wantonly tramples on other countries’ sovereignty and interferes in other countries’ internal affairs, and such acts will eventually make it suffer the consequences.

On December 12th, Country Garden announced that the annual salary of four directors, Yang Huiyan, Mo Bin, Yang Ziying and Chen Tai, had all dropped to 120,000 yuan, that is, the monthly salary was 10,000 yuan. Among them, the biggest decline is in Mo Bin, whose annual salary before adjustment is 3 million yuan.

According to media reports, at present, Country Garden has cancelled all car allocation for senior executives according to the principle of zero administrative expenses, including reimbursement for senior executives’ medical examination and free canteens for senior executives.

Earlier, Country Garden also released the news that Yang Guoqiang was selling airplanes, and it lent 300 million dollars of interest-free loans to listed companies out of its own pocket. Recently, Yang Huiyan even said that the family, as the controlling shareholder, would "support the company by selling iron in a big pot".

When the company is in turmoil, from the founder’s family to the management, Country Garden strives to send positive signals to the market and investors. Judging from the public information, Country Garden’s overseas debt restructuring has not made substantial progress, and RMB debt is also on the verge of default.

Therefore, although Country Garden does not lack positive self-help attitude and measures, compared with the huge debt scale of the company, the actual effect of these actions remains to be seen. If we refer to the cases of other real estate enterprises in danger, as long as the debt crisis has not been completely lifted, Country Garden’s difficulties are not in the past.

Mo Bin has fallen from an annual salary of 235 million to a monthly salary of 10,000

On December 12th, Country Garden announced voluntarily that, in combination with the actual business needs of the industry and the company, executive directors Yang Huiyan, Mo Bin, Yang Ziying and non-executive director Chen Nai of the company offered to reduce their salaries, and signed a supplementary agreement on directors’ services and a supplementary letter of appointment on November 1st, 2023, adjusting the annual salary of directors from 370,000 yuan, 3,000,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan and 370,000 yuan to 120,000 yuan respectively.

The adjustment was approved by the board of directors of the company on the date of this announcement and will take effect on November 1, 2023.

In the past, high-level housing enterprises have always been known for their high salaries, and Country Garden is no exception. Straight flush iFinD data shows that by the end of 2021, the remuneration of Yang Guoqiang, co-chairman and executive director of Country Garden, was RMB 29,054,900, that of Yang Huiyan, co-chairman and executive director was RMB 19,301,800, that of Mo Bin, executive director and president was RMB 235 million, and that of the other four executive directors was between RMB 20 million and RMB 60 million.

In 2022, the salary of Country Garden management declined, but the highest salary was still 10 million yuan. In September last year, the annual salaries of Mo Bin and Yang Ziying were reduced from 15 million yuan and 10 million yuan respectively to 3 million yuan and 2 million yuan.

On the whole, after this adjustment, Mo Bin, the president, has the biggest decline, from the annual salary of one million last year to the current 120,000 yuan.

In addition, Country Garden’s daily administrative expenses have also begun to tighten. According to media reports, at present, the company has cancelled all senior executives’ car allocation, and when there is a real need for work, it can achieve intensive vehicle cost control and cost reduction by applying for official car allocation or using its own car.

For all group buses, including the former senior executives’ car allocation, assets will be revitalized through internal public bidding and foreign workers’ debt repayment. In addition, including the reimbursement of senior executives’ medical examinations and the free canteen for senior executives, etc. have also been cancelled.

Country Garden said that the administrative expenses of the whole group are based on the principle of zero, and they are not necessary to be spent. Rigid expenditures are reduced as much as possible through integration and intensification, and in 2023, they will be significantly reduced by nearly 60% compared with 2021.

At present, Yang Huiyan is at the helm of Country Garden. On March 1st this year, Yang Guoqiang announced his retirement, and Yang Huiyan officially took over the post of chairman of the board of directors from his father.

Five months after taking over the baton, Country Garden defaulted on two US dollar debts, officially declaring itself out of danger, and the cloud approached "the first real estate enterprise in the universe". For a while, the market "small essays" flew around, and it was rumored that "the father and daughter of the founder of Country Garden may have left the country". Country Garden had to publicly refute the rumor, and Yang Guoqiang made several appearances.

Subsequently, Country Garden embarked on the road of self-help. At the group executive meeting held on October 9, Mo Bin, president of Country Garden, revealed that the Yang family was selling its private jet; Another insider of Country Garden confirmed that Yang Guoqiang’s Yang family had provided Country Garden with an interest-free loan of $300 million.

In December, Yang Huiyan released the signal of self-help before going on stage for many times. On December 8, Country Garden Group held a monthly management meeting. Yang Huiyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Group, pointed out that "the family will definitely sell iron to support the company, and the company will strive to explore an effective path to resume normal operations as soon as possible."

Country Garden revealed that Yang Huiyan’s family, as the controlling shareholder, fully provided financial support for the company. Up to now, the total amount of support has been about HK$ 41 billion by borrowing money, increasing shares, buying bonds and paying interest by shares, and they have never reduced their shares.

However, with the stock price falling, the wealth of the Yang Huiyan family has shrunk dramatically. On November 14th, Hurun Research Institute released Hurun Women Entrepreneurs List in 2023, and Yang Huiyan’s wealth shrank by 27 billion yuan, ranking fifth with 48 billion yuan.

Make major adjustments to ensure delivery

In the face of unprecedented difficulties, Country Garden needs more self-help actions.

On December 5th, Country Garden made a new round of organizational restructuring, merging 14 regional companies into 7 new regions. After the merger, the total number of regions in Country Garden was reduced from 28 to 21.

A person close to Country Garden said that through regional contraction and merger, the resources invested in projects with poor performance can be recovered, which can play a role in reducing costs, and these freed resources can be concentrated for the delivery of buildings.

Radar Finance noted that Country Garden had previously adopted the strategy of "occupying the third and fourth lines, firmly sinking the fifth and sixth lines, and carefully laying out the first and second lines".

Because the project is spread over more than 30 provinces and cities, Country Garden has split the region. In May 2020, Country Garden split some areas, and the number of areas under its jurisdiction increased from 47 to 73. In October of that year, Country Garden once again split 73 areas into 104.

At the performance meeting the following year, President Mo Bin said that in 2020, Country Garden combined the capacity of the external market, the internal control radius and the regional operation ability, and split the region according to local conditions, "achieving no increase in costs and more effective control".

However, in the second half of the year, Country Garden has begun to organize "slimming". By the end of 2021, the company made major adjustments to its 106 regional companies and merged them into 65.

Since the beginning of this year, Country Garden has repeatedly attacked the organization. At the beginning of March, Country Garden reduced the number of regions to 29 according to the principle of "excellent regional presidents manage regions".

At the end of May, the company adjusted its formation again, and set up two major industrial groups, namely, real estate, science and technology construction, and new business and innovation investment division, under Country Garden Holdings.

Country Garden said that this adjustment is mainly to implement the previously proposed "one body and two wings" development strategy (with traditional real estate as the main body, entrusted agent construction and technology construction as the two wings), in order to reduce the impact on business units.

Some analysts pointed out that the core of Country Garden’s frequent organizational integration is to reduce human resources expenditure. This also means that layoffs are inevitable.

According to the data of the semi-annual report, in the first half of 2023, the number of employees in Country Garden decreased from 69,932 to 58,140, and nearly 11,800 employees were lost at once.

In addition, it is also very important for Country Garden to return to normal operation by avoiding project shutdown, promoting normal delivery of the project and realizing sales. Recently, Yang Huiyan said that the company will have three main tasks in the next 12 months: ensuring delivery, ensuring operation and ensuring credit.

According to statistics, Country Garden Group has delivered about 500,000 houses in the first 11 months of this year. In 2024, Country Garden is expected to deliver more than 400,000 sets.

Considering the deteriorating refinancing environment, sales return is the real "hematopoietic" way for real estate enterprises.

However, the current sales situation of Country Garden is still not optimistic. From January to November 2023, the cumulative sales of Country Garden was 212.45 billion yuan, down 52% year-on-year.

In the past October-November, the sales of Country Garden were only 6.31 billion yuan and 6.11 billion yuan.

The debt problem has not been completely solved.

It is not difficult for Country Garden to "tighten one’s belt". What is difficult is how to solve the thorny debt problem.

Judging from the overall debt scale, as of the end of June this year, Country Garden had total assets of about 1.62 trillion yuan, total liabilities of about 1.36 trillion yuan and net assets of about 0.26 trillion yuan.

Among the total liabilities of 1.36 trillion yuan, the balance of contractual liabilities is 603.6 billion yuan, which belongs to the advance payment of the house and does not need to be repaid in cash. At that time, the house can be carried forward as income after delivery. In addition, the balance of the company’s total interest-bearing liabilities in the same period was 257.91 billion yuan, of which the debts due within 12 months were 108.703 billion yuan.

In terms of cash reserves, as of the first half of 2023, Country Garden had a total cash balance of about 130.569 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 16.981 billion yuan, of which cash and cash equivalents were about 101.115 billion yuan and restricted cash was about 29.454 billion yuan.

However, in some cases, the amount of cash on the books of real estate enterprises cannot represent all. Fitch previously pointed out that the restriction of local governments on pre-sale supervision funds at the project level weakened the substitutability of real estate enterprises to use cash to repay debts other than real estate project companies. In addition, there are other financial treaties that prohibit the withdrawal and use of project-level funds.

Therefore, Country Garden, which has a liquidity of 100 billion yuan, suddenly announced on October 10 that as of the date of this announcement, the company had not paid the due amount of HK$ 470 million in a certain debt.

The announcement pointed out that the company also expects that it will not be able to fulfill all its overseas debt repayment obligations as scheduled or within the relevant grace period, including but not limited to the repayment obligations under the US dollar bonds issued by the company.

In the announcement, Country Garden said that it had hired consultants to help assess its capital structure and liquidity and formulate an overall solution.

This move also means that Country Garden officially announced the start of overseas debt restructuring. Now that two months have passed, Country Garden has not further disclosed the progress of overseas debt restructuring.

According to statistics, there are 15 public US dollar bonds in Country Garden, and the surviving principal is about 9.3 billion US dollars.

In terms of domestic debt, according to Country Garden, as of October 10, its nine domestic debt extension plans with a total principal of 14.7 billion yuan have been approved by bondholders, and the maturity time has been extended by three years as a whole.

However, this is not the whole of the company’s domestic bonds. December 13th is the interest payment date and resale exercise date of the bond "22 Bidi 02" in Country Garden.

36Kr learned that Country Garden has paid the coupon interest to investors for the past year, and successfully persuaded most investors not to exercise their resale rights. This marks that the company has avoided the first substantial default of domestic debt.

Liu Chunsheng, an associate professor at the Central University of Finance and Economics, thinks that compared with Country Garden’s debt, the management has made a drop in the bucket, but the attitude is correct. He pointed out that Country Garden’s biggest problem at present is how to solve the debt problem and the survival problem of enterprises through debt restructuring, asset restructuring, asset sale and introducing strategic investment.

The debt crisis has always been the biggest risk facing Country Garden. How to spend the darkest moment at the moment tests Yang’s father and daughter.

　　[XCAR new car listed original]

　　On March 26th, the highly anticipated Tengshi 500 was officially listed.The price range is 298,800-328,800 yuan.. The new car has a new style of front grille, and with the LED headlights inspired by the tiger’s eyes, the overall sense is smoother and more vivid. In addition, the comprehensive cruising range of the new car has reached 451km.

　

　　The appearance is more attractive than previous models.

　　In terms of appearance, as a modified model of Tengshi, Tengshi 500 adopts a brand-new front face design and cancels the grid grille equipped with the current model. LED headlights with tiger eye inspiration design have a more atmospheric overall shape. In addition, the front bumper of the new car has also been redesigned and some chrome decoration has been cancelled.

　　Tengshi 500′ s lamp group adopts a long and narrow design, which integrates the LED daytime running lamp with the headlight group, which is very in line with the current fashion trend. When it is lit at night, the visual effect is very eye-catching and highly recognizable. At the same time, the charging port of the new car is still located in the middle of the front of the car, and the protective cover is opened in the same way as the old model, just press the upper part of Tengshi Logo.

　　Coming to the side of the car body, the body size of Tengshi 500 is 4672mm/1850mm/1642mm. Compared with the old models, its profile is basically unchanged, the body length is increased by 30mm, and the wheelbase is still maintained at 2880 mm. It is worth mentioning that there is a forward-looking camera on the right rearview mirror of the new car, which is used to obtain the image of the blind spot in the right front of the vehicle, which is very helpful for the huge Tengshi 500.

　

　　In the rear part, the design concept of the tiger-feather-shaped LED rear taillights is consistent with the headlights, which causes a strong visual impact. The design of the front and rear headlights with high recognition echoes from a distance, which obviously improves the sports fashion sense of the whole vehicle. At the same time, the tail label is a simple "500", which means that its cruising range has reached 500km level, which is more reassuring than the "400" and "450" on most new pure electric vehicles this year.

　　The newly designed five-spoke wheel rim has a strong sportsmanship. The matching tire is Ventus S1 noble2 tire from Han Tai, which focuses on silence and comfort. The specification is 215 55/R18. In addition, there is a metal nameplate on the C-pillar, marked "ENGINEERED WITH DAIMLER GROUP", which means that Daimler Group participated in the development, and it also coincides with the concept of German descent promoted by Tengshi.

Including a newly designed dual-spoke leather steering wheel and a 9-inch central control LCD screen. In addition, the UI interface of the new car digital LCD dashboard has also been redesigned.

　

　　At the left and right ends of the dashboard, there is a hidden display area, which is operated with the wheel on the steering wheel, and has very rich functions. The size of the central control panel has been increased to 9 inches, and the shortcut keys around it have also been streamlined. Tengshi 500 is equipped with DENZA LinK intelligent interconnection system, and its interface is very simple, but its functions are not very rich at present.

　　Below the air conditioning control panel, there are two USB interfaces and a 12V power interface. Because of the angle, the line of sight here is blocked, so the designer added a clear schematic icon on the cover plate, which is very humanized. It is worth mentioning that the foot brake that has been criticized before has finally been replaced by an electronic handbrake, and its shape is very unique.

　　Plenty of space/no pressure in daily travel

　　The battery pack with larger capacity is adopted/the endurance is obviously improved.

　　As for the power system, Tengshi 500 will continue to be equipped with the motors of the current models, of which the maximum power of the fashion version is 86kW(117Ps) and the maximum power of the glory version is 135kW(184Ps). In addition, the battery capacity of Tengshi 500 has also increased from 62kWh to 70kWh, and the cruising range under comprehensive working conditions has reached 451km.

　　pay close attention

　　Beijing time yesterday morning, at the 129th session of the International Olympic Committee held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a resolution was formally passed to add five new events, including baseball and softball, karate, skateboarding, competitive rock climbing and surfing, to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. This includes baseball and softball, which has attracted much attention, because men’s baseball and women’s softball returned to the Olympic family after 12 years after the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It can be said that among the five new sports, except karate, there will be more intense physical contact, and the other sports, including baseball and softball, do not or rarely involve confrontation such as collision, which is very suitable for Asians to carry out sports. The return of baseball and softball is entirely due to the fact that the next Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo, and Japan is one of the most popular and high-level countries in the world.

　　Baseball and softball is the most popular sport in the host country of the next Olympic Games.

　　According to the International Olympic Committee, these five sports are all sports that young people are keen on, representing the popularity and importance of emerging sports in urban life, which is in line with the core goal to be reflected in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, that is, human beings never stop on the road of constantly challenging themselves and pursuing higher, faster and stronger.

　　Baseball and softball were previously two independent sports, which were managed by two independent sports organizations, the International Baseball Federation and the International Baseball Federation. In order to return to the Olympic family, the International Baseball Federation and the International Softball Federation formally merged into the World Baseball and Softball Federation in Tokyo, Japan in April 2013. Baseball and softball were all Olympic events from 1992 to 2008. In 2005, the International Olympic Committee voted to remove baseball and softball from the Olympic Games and replace them with golf and rugby sevens at the Rio Olympic Games. Baseball and softball are the most popular sports in Japan. Kurt, vice chairman of the IOC Executive Committee, once said: "These sports are both popular in Japan and popular with young people." In addition, baseball is quite popular in Japan, so it is not necessary to go to great lengths to build new venues, which is also the reason why IOC prefers it.

　　China baseball and softball will also have an opportunity.

　　Although the return of baseball and softball to the Olympic family is due to the fact that the next Olympic Games will be hosted by Japan, it is definitely very beneficial for the development of baseball and softball in China and winning medals in the Olympic Games. Baseball and softball is not widely developed in the world, mainly in a few countries in North America, Cuba and South America, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, China in Asia, and Europe is completely a desert of baseball and softball, so it was forced to be separated from the events of the 2012 London Olympic Games.

　　China women’s softball team was one of the top teams in the world before the Beijing Olympic Games. It also won the runner-up at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, and the ranking in the next three Olympic Games was also two fourth and one sixth. However, the Chinese baseball team once defeated its arch-rival Chinese Taipei Team 8-7 at the Beijing Olympic Games. At that time, Shen Wei, the secretary-general of the Chinese Baseball Association, wept with joy, which was the first victory of the Chinese baseball team in the Olympic Games and wrote a new chapter in baseball in China.

　　In the past eight years, due to the non-Olympic events, the once-well-developed Chinese baseball league has fallen into a trough, often ending in one and a half months, and only six teams including Beijing, Tianjin and Guangzhou participated in the competition, and the number of games was pitiful. However, this year, because of the early insight that baseball and softball may return to the Olympic family, the Chinese Baseball League has expanded to 10 teams and the league period has been extended to three and a half months, and the baseball and softball sport in China has regained its dawn. If it can develop steadily in the next four years, China may win medals in this event, especially the women’s softball event.

　　The other four items are also suitable for Asians.

　　Among the other four new events that entered the Tokyo Olympic Games, karate originated from China’s "Tangshou", then spread to Japan via Okinawa, and developed in Japan, becoming an important part of Japanese culture. In 2005, the Boxing and Taekwondo Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sport of China also began to introduce the sport in China, and established the national team in 2006. Karate does not need to build a special competition venue, and the event can be completed in three days, which is also a favorable condition for the project to successfully occupy the "Olympic seat". Karate once tried to become an event in the London Olympic Games in 2012 and the Rio Olympic Games in 2016, but both failed. This is the third time that karate has launched an impact on the Olympic Games and finally succeeded.

　　Surfing, skateboarding and competitive rock climbing are popular sports in Europe and America, but they are also suitable for Asians because of their high skill and no physical confrontation, and they are very popular among young people. In fact, many young people are playing these sports in China. Even in the world competition of competitive rock climbing, China players have achieved good results, including champions. At least for now, it seems that if the General Administration of Sport plans to develop and popularize these sports and improve the competitive level, the chances of achieving good results in the Olympic Games are much higher than those of the new rugby sevens event in Rio Olympic Games.

In recent years, China Mobile Guangdong Company has accelerated the construction of Gigabit broadband, and has built more than 54 million optical ports in the province, with more than 23 million home broadband users, including nearly 5 million Gigabit broadband users, and launched a 2000M ultra-high-speed broadband service.

It is understood that there is a saying in the communication industry that "Gigabit is easy to enter the house, but 100 Mbps is difficult to enter the house", which means that although Gigabit broadband fttp has been realized, the WiFi signal in some areas of the house is weak due to unreasonable router placement, wall blocking signals and other reasons, which affects the online experience, and some users even mistakenly think that there is a problem with broadband quality. In order to solve the "last ten meters" network perception bottleneck of gigabit home, Guangdong Mobile and Huawei jointly launched FTTR all-optical WiFi networking service, which was launched commercially in Shantou in September 2020, and promoted the upgrade of "fttp" to "fiber-to-room". Up to now, more than 150,000 mobile broadband users in the province have used this service.

According to the relevant person in charge of Guangdong Mobile, the all-optical networking adopts the "1-N mode", that is, one optical gateway plus n optical routes, and each room is equipped with an optical route, and each optical route is directly connected with the optical fiber, truly realizing the whole house WiFi without dead ends. With the help of WiFi seamless roaming technology, when users go to different rooms, the network automatically switches without feeling. The peak download rate of 2000M broadband can reach 250MB/s, and a high-definition movie can be downloaded in ten seconds. Multi-terminals can watch 4K/8K ultra-high-definition videos online, play large-scale online games and even VR/AR games at the same time, and there will be no jam.

"With the support of ultra-high-speed broadband, new applications such as cloud computers and cloud games will develop rapidly." The relevant person in charge said that the cloud computer has no hardware such as CPU, memory and hard disk. Compared with purchasing a physical computer, the cost is lower, and users can access the data stored in the cloud and use various applications by accessing the network. Cloud games put operations, rendering, storage and other links in the cloud server, and the game screen is transmitted to the local screen in real time. With the ultra-high-speed broadband guarantee, large-scale games can be played smoothly with low-configuration terminals.

In addition, the 2000M+FTTR all-optical WiFi networking supports the parallel access of more than 200 smart devices, which not only meets the Internet demand of computers, tablets and mobile phones, but also provides sufficient space for the increasing access of smart home appliances, smart security, smart pension and other devices in the digital home scene.

It is reported that Guangdong Mobile is making efforts to build a professional team of intelligent engineers to provide users with convenient and efficient networking services. For users who choose FTTR all-optical WiFi networking, engineers come to the door to tailor the solution according to the actual situation, such as laying invisible optical fibers to the room, and will make every effort to install and repair the same day.

While vigorously promoting the upgrade of home broadband, Guangdong Mobile has also launched Zhenzhi e enterprise networking service for small and medium-sized enterprises to support thousands of businesses to improve quality and efficiency. FTTR-B networking services include professional engineers’ door-to-door, networking scheme design, personalized application customization, WiFi coverage optimization, intranet rectification and optimization, integrated wiring construction, equipment installation and debugging, network inspection and operation, worry-free after-sales and other whole-process integrated services, covering an area of 3,000 square meters, providing applications such as Gigabit broadband, Gigabit WiFi and cloud computers for small and medium-sized enterprises, and deeply meeting the needs of corporate office and cloud access.

The naive and quaint spotted seal is a natural comedian.

At the end of October, researchers of marine animal protection in Liaodong Bay, Bohai Sea, Liaoning Province successively monitored the activities of 19 national first-class protected wild animals-western Pacific spotted seals (also known as spotted seals) in the waters near Sandaogou, Liaohe Estuary. According to their body shapes, the researchers determined that they were migratory western Pacific spotted seals this year. These lovely elves returned to their "home" in Liaodong Bay a whole month earlier than in previous years.

Liaohe lipstick beach wetland where spotted seals live.

Are there any wild seals in China? In the impression of most people, seals are sea animals that only live in foreign seas and polar seas. If we want to witness their original ecological life with our own eyes, we have to go to the ocean, which is not easy for us to achieve. But in fact, in northern China, Liaodong Bay of Bohai Sea in Liaoning Province, there is a kind of seal that allows people to observe its original ecological life at close range, which is the western Pacific spotted seal.

Birth of a cub

The western Pacific spotted seal is the only marine mammal of Pinpoda that breeds in China’s waters, and it belongs to the national first-class protected animals. Spotted seals mainly feed on marine animals such as fish, crustaceans and cephalopods, and mostly feed on barracuda in autumn and winter, while the Liaohe Estuary is rich in barracuda. The sea area from Sandaogou to Xiaodaozi in Liaohekou, Liaoning Province is the southernmost breeding habitat of spotted seals on the earth, and hundreds of spotted seals live here for food every year. They usually migrate from South Korea’s Bailing Island to Liaodong Bay at the end of November each year, give birth in the frozen area of Liaodong Bay in January the following year, enter the Liaohe estuary with the tide in February-March, enter the Liaohekou shoal in March-April the following year and gradually fatten up, and gradually drift away from the Bohai Sea in May.

Overlooking the reef

Spotted seals are naive and quaint. In the water, they are agile and elegant, and they are highly skilled ballerinas. On land, they are cute and clumsy, and they are lovable comedians. Every winter and spring, the appearance and stay of spotted seals add vitality and fun to the beautiful Liaodong Bay. Fishermen and tourists from passing ships all look around the seal reef and look forward to seeing the seal, which is known as the "beast of the Bohai Sea". (Wei Xinhe Li Bo)

Spotted seal is the only marine mammal of Pinpoda that breeds in China’s sea area, and it belongs to the national first-class protected animal. They usually migrate from Bailing Island in South Korea to Liaodong Bay in Bohai Sea in Liaoning Province in China at the end of November every year, and "go home" a whole month earlier this year.
