How to keep up with the rise of a variety of new occupations and the various guarantees of social security and labor contracts?

  BEIJING, Beijing, March 12 (Liu Huan) In recent years, a variety of new occupations have sprung up. Attendant, doll restorer, pet health care worker … … The vigorous development of digital economy has not only profoundly changed people’s working conditions and working methods, but also spawned some new employment forms.

  Working hours and places are flexible, and the work content is diverse. While new occupations attract many people, the labor rights and interests of practitioners and industry norms are also concerned. During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2023, how to provide more adequate protection for workers with new employment forms has become one of the hot topics in society.

  New employment form, where is the "new"?

  Compared with the traditional mode of production, the new employment mode has flexible working hours and places, higher freedom, and a series of services are mostly carried out by means of the Internet. Practitioners can realize long-distance real-time communication with customers, companies and so on online, which breaks the limitation of time and space under the traditional production mode.

  At the same time, with the improvement of social demand for consumption and quality of life, the work content of new occupations is also diversified.

  For example, the needs of people’s livelihood in the fields of pension, vocational education, ice and snow sports have spawned new occupations, and promoted the emergence of occupations such as accompanying doctors, curriculum planners, career planners, and beauty teachers. The maturing pet industry chain has spawned occupations such as pet dieters, pet bakers and pet health care workers.

  In addition, the younger generation’s niche hobbies, such as Chaowan, have gradually developed into mass industries, and at the same time, occupations such as Chaowan designers, doll restorers and graffiti artists have become active on the Internet platform.

  According to statistics, from 2012 to 2021, the scale of China’s digital economy increased from 11 trillion yuan to 45.5 trillion yuan, and the proportion of digital economy in GDP increased from 21.6% to 39.8%. In 2021, there were about 84 million workers in new employment forms relying on the Internet platform, and more than 200 million flexible employees.

  In this regard, Xiang Jing, an associate researcher at the Institute of Population and Labor Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, told Zhongxin.com that with the development of social economy and the iteration of new technologies, the emergence of a large number of new occupations is an inevitable trend of the development of the labor market. At the same time, the increasing demand of the public for personalized service also provides opportunities for the development of new occupations.

  "Compared with traditional occupations, practitioners in the new employment form are more social and interactive. They value personal interests and employment satisfaction, and the services and goods they provide are more personalized." Xiang Jing said.

  Problems such as labor relations and industry access need to be solved urgently.

  During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2023, Cao Peng, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and president of jingdong cloud Business Department, said that the definition of employment relationship among new employment groups is still unclear, which led to a series of problems such as labor disputes and untimely payment of social security.

  Gao Jiana, a lawyer of Beijing Fazheng Anbang Law Firm, told Zhongxin.com that because of the flexibility and mobility of their work, most of the new employment groups sign labor contracts with employers and institutions, and there are difficulties in defining labor relations.

  She explained that both sides of labor relations are "employers" and "laborers". The determination of labor relations needs to meet three conditions:

  First, employers and workers meet the subject qualifications stipulated by laws and regulations.

  Second, the rules and regulations formulated by the employer are applicable to the workers, and the workers accept the labor management of the employer.

  Third, the labor provided by the laborer belongs to the business component of the employer.

  The determination of specific labor relations also needs to comprehensively consider whether the two sides have the intention to establish labor relations with reference to social security, wages, written contracts and other situations.

  Gao Jiana said that for the new employment form group, there are more disputes for work-related injury compensation. Because the income source of this kind of group is unstable, it is difficult for them to get paid through labor in a short time after an accident.

  In addition, the access rules of new professional industries also need to be clarified. Xiang Jing pointed out that traditional vocational technical certification, especially the technical certification of high-end occupations, is often highly related to academic background. With the development of internet technology, it is easier to acquire knowledge and wider knowledge, which weakens the correlation between vocational and technical certification and academic background to some extent.

  "The technical identification of new occupations should meet the professional knowledge, and at the same time, due to the personalized improvement of its services, it is necessary to increase consumer evaluation. Under such circumstances, the identification of new occupations needs to have both technical skills standards and protect consumer rights. " Xiang Jing said.

  Official: support the construction of odd jobs market and implement the policy of protecting the rights and interests of workers in new employment forms.

  Jin Weigang, vice-president of China Social Security Society and vice-president of National Institution Research Institute of Zhejiang University, pointed out that the current relevant systems and policies have not adapted to the rapid development of new employment forms, and the social security rights and interests of employees in new employment forms also need attention.

  "On the one hand, there is no traditional labor relationship between practitioners of new employment forms and related platforms. Platform enterprises think that they are not employees of their own enterprises and do not need to bear the responsibility and obligation of participating in insurance payment for them. On the other hand, such personnel can accept the business assigned by multiple platform enterprises at the same time. This has led to a complicated relationship between employees in new employment forms and platform enterprises, and it is inconvenient to participate in social insurance for urban employees. "

  In this regard, he believes that it is necessary to improve the management methods of social security management, and appropriately separate the social insurance relationship from the labor relationship. Even if it is inconvenient to clarify the labor relationship between platform enterprises and employees with new employment forms, both parties should bear the responsibility of participating in insurance payment, and reasonably determine the payment rate and base, so as to bring employees with new employment forms into the social security system for employees and enjoy social security fairly according to law.

  On March 4th, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Federation of Trade Unions submitted a proposal to the 14th session of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference — — Proposal on strengthening the protection of workers’ rights and interests in new employment forms and promoting the high-quality development of digital economy.

  The proposal puts forward that a complete and accurate social support system and supporting measures for new employment forms should be built as soon as possible, and relevant laws such as labor law, labor contract law and social insurance law should be revised and improved in a timely manner, and the reform of the current social security system should be intensified to establish a highly adaptable, flexible and feasible social security system with the employment mode of the Internet platform.

  Wang Xiaoping, Minister of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of China, also said recently that he would support the construction of odd jobs market and implement the policy of protecting the rights and interests of workers in new employment forms. (End)

A few days ago, a junior high school girl named Chen, the girl’s best friend, was summoned to testify. She said that she had sex with six teenagers in one year and brought her boyfriend home to have sex. It was no big deal. The police visited her home and found a teenager named Xu.

The movie channel "M Index" is an authoritative online summer blockbuster at a glance!


Special feature of 1905 film network The M index of movie channel is a comprehensive data list focusing on monthly films released and new films to be shown. The list will be comprehensively obtained from six latitudes: market, word of mouth, communication, social influence, professional recommendation and audience recommendation.



According to the market data, in the past week, 10 new films were released, with a total of 2.799 million national cinema screenings, a weekly box office of 992 million yuan and about 24.008 million people watching movies. In this hot schedule, let’s take a look at which films have won the top spot in each list of the M index:



Deadpool and Wolverine




Catch the doll




Decryption

Safe evacuation from the 21st century

Catch the doll



One-week m data observation


In August, new films were released one after another, and the summer schedule ushered in the "second half". Let’s take a look at the characteristics of the released films in the "M index" data.


In terms of market performance, the film "Catch the Doll" has led the "M Index-Market List" for three consecutive weeks since its release.This week, it grabbed 426 million yuan at the box office, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 2.7 billion yuan, temporarily ranking third in the 2024 box office list. With its strong appeal to "national comedians" and the themes and jokes of Xian Yi, the film has successfully stabilized the audience base, and is expected to get out of the long tail effect by word of mouth.



In terms of communication, the film Decryption sprang up suddenly and won the title of "M Index-Communication List".Among them, the single index of "Movie Channel Media Integration Index" is the first, and the single index of "Social Media Hotness Index", "Video Platform Communication Index" and "User Tendency Index" is the top three, which shows the strong communication power of the film on the all-media platform. Since its release on August 3rd, Weibo has frequently made hot searches around the related topics of the main creation, such as # from watery to dry # # I didn’t imitate anyone # # I ran the hall for the first time in 50 years #, etc. For Decryption, how to turn the audience’s attention to the main creation into the attention to the film itself and continue to incite the enthusiasm for watching movies will become the key to unlock the box office password.



In terms of word of mouth, animated films led the "M Index-Word of Mouth List" for two weeks in a row.# Really beautiful # # Beautiful picture # # Good special effects # and other hot comments reflect the audience’s recognition of this conscientious country.



At the same time,The word-of-mouth performance of the film "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" is equally bright.The film, starring young actors such as, tells the story of three 18-year-olds crossing the future to save the world. Due to the uniqueness and scarcity brought by the style of "Hot Blood" in the film, the film side preemptively activated the core audience with small-scale screening, released positive word-of-mouth signals, and then tried to break the circle through roadshow+short video marketing.


According to the relevant data of "M Index", the film released a number of roadshow videos on July 30th, and the popularity of the video platform reached its peak, among which a single video was praised as high as 976,000. But then, the popularity of the video platform dropped sharply, which shows that this kind of film with distinctive style and strong authorship still needs the joint efforts of the film side and the market to explore.



Analysis of M data in one week


What market information is hidden behind the weekly data of "M Index"? Let’s listen to how Li Mingtao, a professor at the Central Academy of Drama, comments on this week’s data!



The key word of the old film camp is "steadyFrom the weekly list of "M Index", films such as "Catch the Doll" still maintain good box office performance, and they are in the forefront of "M Index-Market List" and "M Index-Communication List". These films mainly rely on "Social problems of star system industrialization"These three business killers continue to be hot in the movie market.



The key word of the new film is "fresh","Decryption "and" Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century "and other films have injected brand-new vitality into the market with their expressive forms and story concepts that do not ignore the frontier of exploration.



In the past July movie market, the highlights and shortcomings are also worthy of attention. The highlight is that the summer file has become a new exploration of China’s new film techniques.Experimental field”。



The shortcomings are mainly reflected inThe understanding and development of summer file is not enough.. The most obvious feature of summer file is to let the young people on vacation watch movies in the cinema to cool off the summer, so its main feature should be a high-concept He Shuang sense. Judging from the current films, the film market has not fully developed the audience’s psychological and commercial value of summer file.



At the same time, new films have been released one after another in August, and how many surprises can be brought by animated films, love films and realistic themes of civilians that have not yet met the audience is expected.


The "Retrograde Life" blessed by the stars has a certain degreeEmotional presentation and life thinkingBut whether it can become an explosion depends on whether it is critical enough; The romantic movie "negative is positive" is also worth looking forward to.Starring him, he dares to create some roles with high artistic value and high market risk.Therefore, I also expect the market to give him encouragement and return.



In the end, which film can become the new champion in August depends on the choice of the movie audience in August.


This week’s good film recommendation


Based on the above data analysis, we will enter the week of new film recommendation, and this week we will recommend White Snake: A Floating Life, which will be released on August 10th.


"White Snake: Floating Life" is like a slowly unfolding picture scroll of the Southern Song Dynasty, with dark and dark ink intertwined, elegant and charming;



Thick ink is the eternal love. It is better to ask for immortality than to live for a lifetime, and to be faithful to each other will show that this life is not in vain.



Pale color, is a vivid and elegant southern song dynasty city scene, street pages, street vendors; Restaurant, tea shop, dock boat, the creator uses delicate brushwork to make the town flow naturally. There is no need to fill everything with overhead plots, one step at a time, which is already a story.



On the banks of Xizi Lake and Qiantang River, the timeline of the story finally meets the memory, and it depends on how the picture scroll is painted with new colors and the real chapter is seen on the screen.


The layout of e-commerce giants, why is instant retailing resurgent?

Many consumers have recently received the push and tips from "Little Elephant Supermarket", which is very novel. In fact, "Elephant Supermarket" is not a pure new brand, but an upgrade of Meituan’s self-operated retail model "Meituan buys food".

From "grocery shopping" to "supermarket", it directly reflects the expansion of product categories, and also releases the signal of overweight instant retail. Not long ago, Meituan Flash Shopping, another model of Meituan’s instant retail, announced that it plans to have 30,000 stores with daily sales exceeding 10,000 yuan and 100 1 billion brands by 2026.

The real-time retail market has huge scale potential, attracting more enterprises to enter the market and overweight. Since 2023, in addition to Meituan, JD.COM has announced to focus on all categories, hourly speed and platformization in 2024, and Tik Tok App Mall has recently opened an independent entrance for hourly speed, which makes the competition on this track more intense.

Real-time retail is back.

Recently, when consumers open the Meituan App, they will receive the push and prompt of "Meituan buys food and upgrades Elephant Supermarket".

Regarding the reason for the name change, Meituan said that Meituan’s grocery shopping is more than "grocery shopping". This upgrade includes the name and brand logo, and the products distributed have also expanded from fresh to dairy products, drinks, snacks, personal care, department stores and other "everything". According to the person in charge of Xiaoxiang supermarket business, from "buying food" to "supermarket" is an intuitive embodiment of the continuous enrichment of Xiaoxiang supermarket products.

The Beijing News reporter noted that Elephant Supermarket has also added two categories, namely, Meituan Exclusive and YEATION. Under the Meituan Exclusive page, there are its own brands such as Elephant Chef, Elephant Optimization and Elephant Cost-effective. In addition, there are separate entrances for hot pot to home and bistro.

Elephant supermarket is not the only instant retail overweight action of Meituan in the near future.

In September, the 2023 Meituan Instant Retail Industry Conference revealed that in the past four quarters, the size of Meituan’s flash purchase has reached 175 billion yuan. By 2026, Meituan Flash Shopping will produce 30,000 stores with daily sales exceeding 10,000 yuan and 100 billion brands. Meituan’s flash purchase mainly adopts the mode of cooperation with retail brands and local businesses. The distribution covers nearly 3,000 counties and cities nationwide, and the performance is 24 hours. According to the financial report, in the third quarter of 2023, Meituan Flash Shopping has established cooperative relations with nearly 400 retail brands. The number of active businesses increased by 30% year-on-year, and the peak daily order volume exceeded 13 million orders.

In addition, Meituan recently released a new round of talent development and promotion list in 2023, and five managers were promoted to the company’s vice president, including Xiao Kun, head of the flash shopping business department, and Zhang Jing, head of the grocery shopping business department. This is the most important management promotion of Meituan in recent two years.

Zhuang Shuai, an expert in retail e-commerce industry and founder of Bailian Consulting, analyzed the Beijing News reporter. Meituan’s self-operated front warehouse mainly aims at improving the quality and user experience of fresh products. Renaming it "Xiaoxiang Supermarket" is based on the growth and profit demand of expanded products. The self-operated front warehouse is more autonomous in terms of inventory depth and product selection, and can also develop customized products to complement the open platform. "Instant retailing is already the second growth curve of Meituan".

A lively track

The instant retail track is growing rapidly. According to the Report on the Development of Instant Retail Industry released this year by the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, in recent years, instant retail has maintained an average annual growth rate of more than 50%. In 2022, the market size of instant retail reached 504.286 billion yuan, and it is estimated that the market size will increase by three times in 2025 compared with 2022.

This track has also received policy support. In February this year, the Opinions of the State Council City, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Doing a Good Job in Promoting Rural Revitalization in 2023 pointed out that "the construction of county-level commercial system should be comprehensively promoted, and new modes such as joint distribution and instant retail should be vigorously developed". This is the first time that the Central Document No.1 mentioned instant retailing. On September 21, the Ministry of Commerce said at a regular press conference that it would promote the healthy development of new consumption formats and new models such as instant retail, live e-commerce and social e-commerce.

The Beijing News reporter found that the real-time retail track in 2023 was more crowded, and many e-commerce platforms added code or entered the track.

According to public reports, in March this year, Taobao released a notice about adding the "hourly service specification of Taobao", which showed that Taobao planned to add the "hourly service specification", and the rule will take effect on March 31.

In September this year, JD.COM released the strategy for 2024, which mentioned that it would focus on all categories, hourly service and platformization, and the number of users of hourly service in JD.COM would increase by over 50% within three years.

After expanding the "group purchase and distribution" project at the beginning of this year, Tik Tok opened the independent entrance of "Hours" in Tik Tok App Mall. A few days ago, Tik Tok affiliated company Beijing Jingzitiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. applied for registration of several trademarks of "Tik Tok Instant Retail" and "Tik Tok Hours Da", which was also interpreted as competing with the instant retail business platforms such as Meituan Flash Shopping Service and JD.COM Hours Da.

The platform model has broad prospects.

Before the instant retail track was hot, the fresh track had experienced a wave of hot battles and elimination shuffling. In 2021, Tongcheng Life went bankrupt, the reorganization of the radish failed, and Baoneng Fresh Store closed in many cities. In 2022, every day, Youxian fell into the storm of withdrawal from the city, default on payment, delisting, etc., and Xingsheng preferred to withdraw from Shanxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei and Anhui provinces one after another.

Lai Yang, a member of the Expert Committee of China Business Federation and executive vice president of Beijing Business Economics Association, said in an interview with the Beijing News reporter that it is difficult to operate fresh food, which requires not only professional knowledge and experience accumulation, but also strong operational ability to do a good job in cold chain logistics and procurement. The gross profit margin of this industry is not high, but the cost and loss rate are high. "Fresh food management is a low-profit industry, but if it is not done well, every loss will result in huge losses."

Compared with the fresh food industry, the instant retail track expands the products from fresh food to multiple categories, especially the standard products of goods account for a higher proportion, which helps to balance the shortcomings of large fresh food loss and thin profits. According to the agency research report released by Anxin International in October this year, Meituan has more than 450 direct suppliers and more than 1,000 cooperative brands. From the perspective of category structure, Meituan’s fresh food category accounts for about 30%, which is close to Pupu supermarket, while Dingdong’s food category accounts for 50%-60%.

In addition, from the current entrants to the instant retail track, the platform modes include Meituan Flash Shopping, Hungry, JD.COM Arriving Home, Taoxianda, etc. The main players in the self-operated mode include Meituan Shopping, Dingdong Shopping, Boxma Xiansheng, Pupu Supermarket, etc., mostly from more mature e-commerce.

It can also be seen from the financial report data released by some platforms that the instant retail business is showing an upward trend. Among them, Meituan data shows that as of the end of the third quarter of this year, the total order volume of Meituan instant delivery, including food and beverage take-out and Meituan flash purchase, reached 6.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 23%. In the third quarter of 2023, Ding Dong realized a revenue of 5.14 billion yuan, up 6.2% from the previous quarter, and made a profit under Non-GAAP for four consecutive quarters.

The increase of players will inevitably increase the intensity of competition. Whether it is a self-operated pre-warehouse, a warehouse-store integration, a platform model, and a real-time retail track with a hundred flowers, it will also present more opportunities and innovations. However, from the data of each family, Zhuang Shuai believes that the pre-warehouse model can achieve profitability in first-and second-tier cities; The cost of warehouse-store integration is too high, and the profit pressure is still great; The platform model can achieve profitability and cover more market areas, with the broadest prospects.

For the future of instant retail track, Du Guochen, deputy director of the E-commerce Research Institute of the International Trade and Economic Cooperation Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, once said that in the future, instant retail will present all-weather consumption, all-scene penetration, all-category innovation, all-geographical coverage, full supply chain management and digitalization of the whole process. This also means that the development of instant retail needs a more perfect distribution system, digital management system and digital solution services, which may be more advantageous for a platform with rich experience in take-away business.

The GDP of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities will be unified accounting this year to "stop" the local GDP ranking.

  Yesterday afternoon, the Second Session of the 13th National People’s Congress held a press conference on "NPC supervision".

  Yin Zhongqing, deputy director of the Financial and Economic Committee of the National People’s Congress, said at the press conference that this year, the National Bureau of Statistics began to conduct unified accounting of the regional GDP of various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and "stopped" the practice of ranking the total GDP and speed of various places.

  Administrative state-owned assets

  The special report is to be considered this year.

  At the meeting, a reporter asked, last year, the State Council reported the state-owned assets management to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for the first time, which was the first time that the state-owned assets were presented to the people of the whole country. What has the National People’s Congress done for this? What are you going to do this year?

  In this regard, Zhu Mingchun, deputy director of the the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Budget Working Committee, said, "the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) listened to and considered the State Council’s comprehensive report on the management of state-owned assets and the special report on the state-owned assets of financial enterprises at the meeting of the Standing Committee last October. This is the first time since the founding of New China that a full-caliber clear account has been submitted. The comprehensive report focuses on reflecting the overall situation, while the special report focuses more on the outstanding problems of state-owned assets of financial enterprises. This mode of combining comprehensive report and special report is the first in the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), and it is also carried out in the whole country in this way.

  Zhu Mingchun also revealed that a "five-year work plan" for state-owned assets reporting has been formulated with relevant departments, and is now being submitted for approval according to procedures. "In the past five years, there will be a comprehensive report and a special report every year. Last year, financial state-owned assets were reported. This year, it is expected to carry out a special work report on administrative state-owned assets, and then there will be state-owned assets of non-financial enterprises and natural resources. Report, gradually expand to achieve full coverage, and truly do a good job in state-owned assets supervision." Zhu Mingchun said.

  Revision of statistical method

  Included in the legislative plan

  In response to the problem of falsification of statistical data, Yin Zhongqing, deputy director of the NPC Financial and Economic Committee, said, "Last year, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) launched a statistical law enforcement inspection. The NPC Financial and Economic Committee was divided into three groups and went to six provinces to conduct law enforcement inspections. At the same time, it also entrusted seven provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to conduct self-inspections. Judging from the law enforcement inspection, various localities and departments also reflected that there are still some shortcomings and problems in the implementation of the statistical law, mainly in five aspects."

  Yin Zhongqing said, for example, some places engage in comparison and competition, falsifying data at the source, making false reports, concealing reports and omitting reports. The standards, methods, caliber and data of departmental statistics are inconsistent, resulting in data fights, forming "data islands" and "data chimneys", and the sharing of statistical information is slow. In addition, the statistical system lags behind the needs of high-quality development in the new era. For some emerging problems, such as new technologies, new industries, new formats and new models, there is still a lack of accurate statistics.

  In December last year, the National Bureau of Statistics submitted a report to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) on the implementation of the inspection report on law enforcement of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Statistics Law and its deliberation opinions.

  Judging from the rectification over the past six months, this law enforcement inspection has made positive progress in promoting the solution of outstanding problems.

  For example, governments at various localities and levels have squeezed the moisture from some statistical data accumulated in previous years, especially through law enforcement inspection to urge governments at all levels to solve the problem of statistical data distortion, and solve the problems of concealment, omission, false report, false report, repeated report and late report from the system, so as to effectively improve the quality of statistical data and make it true and reliable.

  Promote the reform of national economic accounting. Organize the implementation of unified accounting of regional GDP, which will be carried out nationwide from this year. The National Bureau of Statistics will conduct unified accounting of regional GDP of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, stop ranking the total GDP and speed of all local regions, explore the preparation of national balance sheets, national balance sheets and natural resources balance sheets of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, improve the assessment and evaluation mechanism, and promote the establishment of a correct outlook on political achievements.

  In addition, promote the reform and abolition of laws and regulations. The revision of statistical law has been included in the 13th legislative plan of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), and related work is progressing steadily. The formulation and revision of national census regulations, folk statistical investigation regulations and other supporting laws and regulations for statistical law are also being studied and promoted.

  Implicit debt of local government

  Steady and orderly "dissolve the stock"

  At the scene, a reporter asked, what measures does the National People’s Congress take to supervise and prevent the hidden debts of local governments?

  In this regard, Zhu Mingchun responded that the debts borrowed by local governments according to law have all been included in budget management and open and transparent, and the risks are controllable. "Implicit debts are indeed risky in some places, and one of the reasons is that this base is not particularly clear."

  He said, in accordance with the unified arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, the hidden debts of local governments were thoroughly investigated last year, and the national data are still being counted, some of which need to be screened by the relevant departments in the State Council. Judging from the special investigation organized by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) last year, the scale of implicit debt in some places is relatively large and the growth is relatively fast. In some places, the implicit debt is higher than the debt within the legal limit, and the risks in some places are still quite prominent.

  "Last year, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council made important arrangements to prevent and resolve the hidden debt risks of local governments, which were actively implemented by governments at all levels, and the growth momentum of hidden debt was curbed, and the work of resolving the stock was also carried out in a safe and orderly manner."

  Do a good job in the law on administrative sanctions and the law on supervisors

  Preparatory work before deliberation

  Since the establishment of the Judicial Committee on Supervision of the National People’s Congress, what work has been done in supervision?

  In response to a reporter’s question, Xu Xianming, vice chairman of the NPC Supervisory and Judicial Committee, said, "The NPC Supervisory and Judicial Committee was established in March last year, and it has been exactly one year since this year.".

  He said: over the past year, the Supervision and Judicial Committee has conducted investigations on the reform of the supervision system and the implementation of the supervision law, learned about the latest progress of the reform of the national supervision system and the implementation of the supervision law, and put forward opinions and suggestions on the work. Intervene in the legislative work such as the law on administrative sanctions and the law on supervisory officials in advance, and promote the improvement of the supporting laws of the supervisory law.

  "The law on administrative sanctions and the law on supervisory officials, which are derived from the supervision law, are being formulated, and our committee has been involved in the formulation of these two laws in advance".

  He revealed that this year, the legislative work of the law on administrative sanctions and the law on the Ombudsman will be promoted. "These two legislative items have been included in the legislative plan of the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), and our committee will continue to intervene in the drafting of these two laws in advance, and cooperate with the legislative bodies of the National Supervisory Commission (NSC) and the Standing Committee to make good preparations before deliberation."

  In addition, it will assist the Standing Committee to carry out special investigations on the reform of the supervision system and the implementation of the supervision law. Focus on investigating new situations and new problems in the implementation of the supervision law.

  In response to the question "What kind of consideration does the NPC have for the supervision of the supervisory organs in the next step", Xu Xianming responded that the supervision and supervision work of the NPC will be promoted in an orderly manner according to the provisions of the Constitution and the Supervision Law.

The continuous high temperature in China will break the meteorological record. Experts: The future high temperature heat wave may become a new normal.

  China news agency, Beijing, August 13th (Reporter Chen Su) This year, China experienced extremely high temperature and heat wave. With the arrival of "dog days", the high temperature has been further upgraded recently. On the 12th, the China Meteorological Bureau issued the first high-temperature red warning this year. The high temperature in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the southwest region continued to develop, and the drought worsened. Why is the high temperature in China so extreme this year? On the 13th, many experts were interviewed by reporters to interpret the high temperature situation this year.

  According to the statistics of the meteorological department, since late July, southern China has experienced a wide range of high-temperature weather with high intensity. As of the 13th, there were 40 days of high temperature above 35 degrees in Shanghai this year, and the extreme maximum temperature reached 40.9 degrees. Since July, the average number of days with high temperature above 35℃ in Zhejiang Province is 31 days, and the average number of days with high temperature above 38℃ is 16 days, both of which are the highest in the same period in history, among which Sanmen in Zhejiang Province has reached 43.1℃. Since July, Chongqing has experienced two rounds of high-temperature weather, with the average number of high-temperature days in the city reaching 29.3 days, the second highest in the same period since 1951. It is predicted that the large-scale high-intensity high-temperature weather will continue in the future, with the local temperature reaching 43-44℃ and the highest temperature in some districts and counties approaching or exceeding the historical extreme.

  On the 12th, China Meteorological Bureau issued the first high-temperature red warning in China this year. On the 13th, the high-temperature red warning continued. It is estimated that the temperature in parts of 10 provinces and cities such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai will reach 40-42℃, and the local temperature will exceed 42℃.

  Talking about the causes of this round of high temperature weather, Chen Tao, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said that the high temperature weather has a certain relationship with the abnormal situation of atmospheric circulation. From the monitoring point of view, the western Pacific subtropical high has a large range and strong intensity. Under its control, the southern region as a whole is controlled by downward flow, and the sky is clear and partly cloudy. Under the influence of sunshine radiation during the day, the near-surface heating is relatively strong, so there is a large range of high temperature weather.

  Chen Tao predicted that the subtropical high will still control the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the future, and the high temperature weather from Sichuan Basin to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will continue to develop or maintain. It is expected that the high temperature red warning will last for at least 4 to 5 days.

  Chen Lijuan, chief forecaster of the National Climate Center, said that according to the forecast, the duration of this regional high temperature process is expected to exceed 62 days in 2013, making it the longest high temperature process since 1961.

  Affected by high temperature weather, severe drought has occurred from Sichuan Basin to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Since July, the rainfall in the Yangtze River basin has been 40% less than normal, the high temperature days in some areas in the middle and lower reaches are close to 30 days, and the days without effective rainfall in some areas have exceeded 20 days. The water levels in the main stream of the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are the lowest in the same period since the measured records were recorded. According to the data of the Ministry of Water Resources of China on the 11th, the drought in the Yangtze River Basin has affected 9.67 million mu of cultivated land in Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing and Sichuan, and affected the water supply of 830,000 people.

  Chen Tao said that it is expected that the meteorological drought will continue or worsen in the future. The continuous high temperature has a great impact on cash crops such as tea and fruits in the south, and the high temperature has also increased the demand for electricity and energy, and the demand for electricity by residents has increased, which has increased the pressure on electricity and energy supply.

  "According to the monitoring of the National Climate Center, the rare high temperature weather in China since June this year is actually the strongest event since the complete meteorological record in 1961." Chen Lijuan said that, in fact, the occurrence of high-temperature heat wave events in summer is normal from the climate point of view, but the duration, intensity and influence range of this summer’s high-temperature heat wave events have indeed reached a very strong level. This is far from the problem of weather scale, and there must be deep climate scale reasons behind it.

  She said that the sixth assessment report of IPCC (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) pointed out that under the background of global warming, many extreme weather and climate events have been observed since the middle of the 20th century, among which the frequent occurrence of high temperature and heat waves is a very remarkable feature. Therefore, under the background of climate change, high-temperature heat wave events will become a new normal. It is expected that similar high-temperature heat waves will occur more frequently in the future summer, and the characteristics of long-term high temperature may become more and more obvious.
