  Some stall owners specially put cherries in a pyramid-shaped stack, each with green slender stems, full flesh, crisp, sweet and juicy, which attracted the attention of many consumers.

  At noon on the 6th, the reporter came to the fruit area of the farmer’s market in Dancun, Nanning, and saw that cherries were sold in many stalls. In the middle of last month, cherries were still hard to find in the market, and now cherries are placed in the C position. Xiao Li, a citizen of Nanning, is shopping for cherries in front of the stall. She told reporters that she likes eating cherries very much. Some time ago, she only saw cherries sold in large supermarkets, and the price per catty was close to that of 120 yuan, which made her feel too expensive. "Now cherries are sold in the vegetable market, and the price has dropped to 60 yuan per catty. It is very cost-effective to eat cherries now!"

  Ms. Wei, the owner of a fruit stall, said: "When cherries were just listed, they were sold from 100 yuan to 120 yuan per catty, and the price was too expensive, so we didn’t dare to buy them. It was not until the end of last month that I bought the cherries and sold them back. Recently, the number of people who bought them gradually increased and the sales volume increased. "

  The reporter noticed that the price of cherries in the whole farmer’s market in Dancun is a little larger than that in 65 yuan per catty, and a little smaller than that in 60 yuan per catty, mainly from Chile.

  According to the reporter’s visit to a number of fruit shops in Jiangnan District, it is known that cherries are basically seen in every fruit shop, and the price is mainly based on the size of the head. The price of a larger one is 60 yuan, and the price of a smaller one is 55 yuan.

  Compared with physical stores, the price of online shopping cherries has also dropped. In a fresh online shopping platform, a variety of cherries are marked with "price reduction". For example, the price of a gift box with a net weight of 2 kg of 3J pure fruit is 139 yuan, which is equivalent to 69.5 yuan a catty.

  It is understood that most of the cherries currently on sale in the market are from Chile. They were listed at the end of November last year and will generally last until March this year. However, most local cherries in China grow in the Bohai Rim region, and the listing time is from the end of April to mid-August.

  Why did the price of cherries drop? According to Mr. Huang, a local cherry wholesaler in Nanning, "The earliest cherries were shipped by air, and the price was really expensive. Later, they arrived by sea one after another. Recently, the price of cherries has really dropped a lot, because the volume of imports has increased recently, so there is a trend of price reduction." According to reports, there are also cherries from Chile to Hong Kong by sea in the later period, and it is expected that the price will drop after January 10.

  Compared with previous years, the price reduction of cherries this year is very large. "It can be said that it is a’ cliff-like’ price reduction. In previous years, it has been steadily declining, and this year is a bit fierce." With the rapid increase of imported cherries entering the market, citizens can eat cherries at a price close to the people and realize the freedom of "star fruit".

Hu Yuqian: Women’s Day detonated protests. When will violence against women in Mexico stop?

[Text/Observer Network columnist Hu Yuxi]
First, Women’s Day is not happy! Mexican women took to the streets to demonstrate.
On March 8, 2021, Mexico’s "International Women’s Day" was quite unusual.
There were no lively and joyful celebrations, and there was no grand commemorative ceremony. Instead, protests broke out in many parts of the country.With the opportunity of the March to commemorate Women’s Day, Mexican women issued their condemnation and protest against the long-standing gender violence against women and the crime of killing women in the country. Protests in Mexico City, the capital, were particularly fierce: a large number of female protesters broke through the shields of riot police and rushed into Constitution Square, approaching the National Palace, where the federal government is located, and attracted public attention by shouting, doodling and even setting fire to objects.
The conflict escalated when the protesters broke through the barriers set by the Mexican government. The police used shields, tear gas, pepper spray and batons to disperse the demonstrators, and some protesters even set fire to the police shields. According to marcela figueroa, an official of the Mexican police department, at least 62 police officers and 19 civilians have been injured in the conflict escalated by protests. Among the protests in various parts of Mexico, Mexico City has attracted global attention with its huge momentum, fierce actions and bloody conflicts caused by it.On this festival, which belongs to women all over the world, the whole country of Mexico is filled with anger and anxiety.

In fact, many countries will have spontaneous women’s marches on International Women’s Day (according to the British "Independent" report, there have been large-scale street marches in India, France, Spain, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines and other countries this year) to appeal to the public to pay attention to and protect women’s rights and freedoms;In Mexico, in recent years, it is by no means the only time to hold a loud street protest on the International Women’s Day. Therefore, the Mexican government has already made preparations, and on March 5, it built a wall 3 meters high outside the National Palace.(The Mexican government calls it "The Wall for Peace") to prevent "protesting the impact and sabotage of the people".
However, "The Wall for Peace" could not stop the particularly angry protesters this year. The latter not only broke through this wall and condemned it as a "wall of male shame" by graffiti, but also placed flowers, crosses and candles in front of the wall, turning this barrier to protest into a memorial wall for female victims and a landmark for protests. In this case, Mexican President lopez Obrador, whether explaining the fence-building by protecting landmark buildings or accusing the protest movement of "being manipulated and planned by conservative opponents", not only failed to alleviate the protesters’ grievances, but also further aroused the anger of many female protesters like adding fuel to the fire.

As Barbara Gonzalez, a political analyst in Monterrey, Mexico, pointed out: "For many feminists, it seems that the government will step in and put women’s issues on the work agenda, but AMLO (President Lopez’s full name abbreviation) is not only hostile to this movement … He always regards this movement as a manipulated and illegitimate conspiracy."
Obviously, Mexican women are "unhappy" on this Women’s Day. The root cause of their anger is a trite but increasingly serious problem: large-scale gender discrimination, gender violence and even murder against women.
Compared with other countries, Mexican women’s sense of security is undoubtedly the lowest in the past 20 years.As early as 2010, the United Nations listed Mexico as "one of the countries with the most violence against women" in its report on violence against women: between 2002 and 2006, 44% of Mexican women suffered at least one-time violence in their lives and in the past 12 months, the highest proportion in the world.
In 2017, the data of Mexico National Bureau of Geography and Statistics was even more alarming: two-thirds (66.1%) of women over the age of 15 had experienced different degrees of violence, of which 41.3% had experienced sexual violence and 34% had experienced physical violence. It is no exaggeration to say that almost no woman in Mexico is safe.
From 2002 to 2006, the proportion of female sexual violence in Mexico was the highest in the world. Source: United Nations Statistics Division.
Among all kinds of violence against women, the phenomenon of killing women is particularly prominent in Mexico, and in recent years it can be described as "shocking".According to the estimate of Amnesty International, from 1986 to 2009, there were about 34,000 murders of women in Mexico. In 2020, under the epidemic situation, Mexican official data showed that at least 939 women died of gender-related killings in the country, and the statistics of female activist Maria Salguero showed that the situation was even worse: last year, an average of 10 to 11 women were killed every day, nearly doubling the 6 women killed every day in 2016. In 2012, the special report of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights pointed out that the number of femicide in Mexico ranked 16th in the world, and it is increasing year by year.
From Ciudad Juá rez, a northern border city where women have been killed frequently in the past 30 years, to two tragedies that triggered public anger in February last year (ingrid Escamira, brutally stabbed, skinned and dismembered by her boyfriend, and Fatima Aldrigate, a 7-year-old girl who was kidnapped, raped and tortured to death),Femicide in Mexico is no longer a specific case or an individual phenomenon, but a social problem that the whole country cannot avoid.Mexican women and activists from all walks of life have been running around and shouting for a long time, hoping to attract the attention of the government and solve it.
The murders of ingrid Escamira (I) and Fatima Aldrigate once set off a wave of protests in Mexico. Source: BBC/AFP/Reuters.
However, it is obvious that the Mexican government’s response has made them even more disappointed: according to the statistics of the Mexican National Observatory for Femicide, in the first half of 2017, 800 women were killed in 13 States of Mexico, but less than half of the deaths were identified by the police as killing women and investigated; In the same year, a report by Mexican activist Natalia Reyes pointed out that only 8% of female killers were brought to justice. In recent years, the increasingly tense relationship between President Lopez and feminist groups and several "confrontation from a distance" are even moreMore and more Mexican women deeply feel that the government is just ignoring and avoiding female killings and other gender violence issues.
Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that International Women’s Day can’t make Mexican women happy, but only stimulate their emotions.As Vanya palacios, a 19-year-old girl holding the slogan "Today’s struggle is to not die tomorrow", told the British "Guardian" reporter in the street: "We hope that he (President Lopez) can protect us as much as he protects these buildings."
Second, "injury-protest" keeps repeating itself. When did Mexico find the key to the solution?
In the face of repeated incidents of gender-based violence, the Mexican government’s repeated statements and determination to rectify it seem to have no effect, and international organizations and public opinion have been trying to find the root of the problem for many years: why has this North American country become a paradise for violence against women and even crime?
It is undeniable that the long-term high incidence of gender violence in Mexico is closely related to Mexico’s deep-rooted cultural background.In 2006, the Mexican Institute of Family and Population specially explored the correlation between Mexican male chauvinism culture and modern violence against women. As early as during the Spanish conquest of America in the Middle Ages, the culture that emphasized dealing with Spanish conquerors with male masculinity came into being, and later it developed intoThe inherent psychological and social characteristics of the Mexican state: emotionally indestructible, the absolute dominance of patriarchy, and responding to women in an aggressive or controlling way.
From the initial emphasis on men’s control over the body, this alienated Machismo has shaped Mexican men’s sense of superiority and entitlement; In traditional culture, however, women are in a subordinate position and lack access to knowledge and power, so it is difficult for them to participate in the discussion and change the current social rules.What is even more frightening is that, after this male chauvinism goes to extremes, violence against women is regarded as the embodiment of male pride and the display and maintenance of male power, which has become the default legitimate behavior in Mexican society.
As Marisol Reyes, a psychologist at the Mexican Women’s Commission, said, "Violence is acceptable in our society. People are told that violence is the way to maintain power … Male chauvinism has become the dominant model of Mexican men. "
On the other hand, with the introduction of neo-liberal economic policies in Mexico, the social pattern dominated by men is gradually undergoing subtle changes, which further aggravates gender conflicts and violence.With the increase of poverty rate and unemployment rate in Mexico in recent years, social insecurity has been sharply strengthened, and more women have begun to enter the labor market, seeking improvement of economic challenges and escaping from the original dominant position.
The increase in the number of women in the workplace is bound to impact and threaten the traditional social division of labor between men and women (men work outside the home and women bear family responsibilities). According to Mercedes Oliveira, a research institute of Mexican Family and Population Research Institute, this change has affected men’s self-image cognition and "hurt" their chauvinism and sense of self-superiority.
Since 2000, the unemployment rate in Mexico has shown an unstable rise. Source: World Bank/Macrotrends.
In the past 30 years, the proportion of women employed in Mexico has increased significantly. Source: World Bank.
In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic led to another increase in violence against women in Mexico.Affected by the epidemic, many countries have taken long-term blockade measures to suspend social and economic activities, and people in various countries have been forced to stay at home.Under the multiple influences of employment pressure, income reduction and mental stress caused by being unable to go out, residents’ psychological problems and domestic violence emerge one after another, which is significantly higher than before the epidemic, and has become a global "shadow pandemic" described by the United Nations.
Among them, women are particularly hurt: in Britain, women are more likely to be fired and suspended without pay because of economic stagnation, need to take on more housework and child care responsibilities, and are more likely to feel anxious, depressed and lonely; On a global scale, family members are more likely to cause fierce conflicts because of the above pressure, and domestic violence against women is more frequent.
This is still the case in developed countries, especially Mexico, where the epidemic situation is extremely serious and the economic recession is obvious (GDP will decrease by 8.5% in 2020, which is the worst contraction since 1932 and the second consecutive year of negative growth). According to the report of Thomson Reuters Foundation, in 2020, Mexico made more than 260,000 emergency calls for help because of violence against women, an increase of more than 30% compared with 198,000 in 2019.
In the same year, the official data of the Mexican government showed that two-thirds of Mexican women suffered from different forms of violence, and the proportion of women who suffered from spousal/domestic violence was as high as 44%, reaching a new high. Mexican Interior Minister Olga Sá nchez Cordero also admitted: "The scope of violence suffered by women is increasing every day."
In a word, it is not only a cultural problem, but also a legal and economic problem for Mexican women to survive so hard.To eradicate Mexican women’s insecurity in society, the government needs more sincerity and efforts to effectively protect women’s basic rights and improve the economy and people’s livelihood; In particular, the legislative and judicial institutions need to be practical and promising to truly ensure the fulfillment of their commitments; It is a long way to go to change the traditional prejudice against women in Mexican society, which is far from a temporary achievement. In Mexico, which is still facing a serious epidemic and the economy has not recovered, it is still "a long way to go" for women to live in their own homes without fear and truly spend a happy Women’s Day.

[Network Media Defense Line] Entering the "Front" and "Behind" of Special Forces

  A special operations brigade of the 80th Army is a heroic unit with a glorious tradition and historical honor. During the war years, it participated in the War of Liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, with outstanding achievements. In peacetime, the brigade still made numerous contributions. In front of the public, the cadres and officers of a special brigade of the 80 th Army are all bloody men. In ordinary life, they also have their own tender side. People’s Forum Network Xiaobian followed the interview group of "Building a Strong Military Dream with One Heart and Network Media for National Defense" and went deep into a special brigade of the 80th Army of the Army and walked into their "behind the scenes".

  Before the stage: training hard Heavy honor

  Fighting is the bounden duty of a soldier, and training is the basis for fighting and winning the battle. The officers and men of a special operations brigade of the 80th Group Army trained hard with the belief of "always wanting to fight, doing everything for the fight, daring to fight hard and ensuring victory", and set strict demands on themselves with the goal of "attacking like a cone in wartime, defending like a nail, pulling out and topping at ordinary times". Through the methods of matching old and new, sharpening tasks and promoting incentives, the officers and men’s unique spirit, domineering, tiger spirit and heroism were forged.

  A special brigade of the 80th Army tempered its iron will through rigorous training, insisting that the worse the environment is, the more complicated the situation is, and the more dangerous the subjects are, so that officers and men can be in difficult situations such as wild mountains, high altitude, deep water, etc., wrestle and sharpen their hard work style in dangerous environments, forge special will quality in challenging psychological limits, organize "hunter training", and cultivate their courage to shine with difficult, high-intensity and high-risk training.

  Plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold. Hard training laid the foundation for a special warfare brigade of the 80th Army to successfully complete various tasks, and also won many honors for the brigade. Since the establishment of the brigade, it has won first class, second class and third class respectively, 28 people have won first class and 62 people have won second class, and a large number of advanced models such as "two experts" Wu Zhongliang and "amphibious expert" Zhang Xiuguang have emerged.

  Behind the scenes: scientific guaranteeStrong human feelings

  "Now we attach great importance to leading troops with civilization, science and law," Wu Zhongliang, political commissar of a special warfare brigade of the 80th Army, told reporters. In the era of science and technology and information, a special brigade of the 80th Army has done a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure the training quality, physical condition and psychological condition of officers and men.

  In the basic physical training, a special brigade of the 80th Army pays attention to following scientific laws, absorbing the opinions of sports experts and formulating relevant training norms. Everyone is required to do warm-up exercises before class and relaxation exercises after class, and train at different levels according to the ability of the trainees. Last year, the brigade built a military training health protection center to provide physical rehabilitation, physical and mental relaxation, psychological evaluation, diagnosis and monitoring services for officers and men. Through reasonable relaxation and scientific measures, the incidence of training injuries was greatly reduced.

  第八十集团军某特战旅还响应习主席“健康中国”的号召,以“解决不了油水、洗澡水的问题,就没资格让官兵流汗水、流血水”的理念为指引,在伙食、澡堂、军装、临时来队家属住房、物资采购等方面增强服务质效,通过官兵“心尖”上的满足实现“刀尖”上的打赢。

  特种兵训练虽然艰苦,但战士官兵之间也充满人情味,战士之间相互关心,氛围十分融洽。伞降是特种兵训练中最危险的科目之一。该旅特战四连会向每一名参与跳伞任务新兵的家长写一封信。在这《致家长的一封信》中,连队历数这名新兵在过去一年中完成的任务、取得的成绩,并表明将他培养成一名合格特种兵的决心。这一举措不但让新兵心中萌生出内心的自豪,也让家长对孩子感到骄傲,家长普遍认为在军营里,孩子变强大了。

  通过走进特种兵的台前幕后,大家是不是觉得这群“最可爱的人”更可爱了呢?相信在像第八十集团军某特战旅这样一支听党指挥能打胜仗作风优良的人民军队的保卫下,国家的利益和我们的生命财产安全能够得到充分的保障。

Continuously promote the coordinated improvement of institutional advantages and governance efficiency.

Source: Guangming Daily
State system is the basic basis of state governance, and state governance is the concentrated expression of state system and its execution ability. The two are both external and internal and influence each other. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the fundamental reason why the prevention and control of the epidemic and the resumption of production in China can be vigorously promoted is that the leadership of the Party and the institutional advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics have played an unparalleled and important role. At present, the unstable and uncertain factors in the international economic and political situation have increased significantly. To fight a strategic initiative to turn danger into opportunity and ensure the realization of the goal of "two hundred years", we must not only consolidate and give play to the existing institutional advantages, but also transform them into governance efficiency. At the same time, we must continue to strengthen and expand our institutional advantages, enhance institutional competitiveness, and continuously promote the coordinated improvement of institutional advantages and governance efficiency by improving governance practices and enhancing governance efficiency.
1. Strengthening institutional advantages is the premise of improving governance efficiency.
National system is the key to a country’s long-term development performance, and institutional factors can explain the huge differences in economic growth rates between countries. Because a good national system can effectively regulate people’s economic behavior and social economic order, can fully provide effective incentives for technological innovation, greatly reduce the transaction cost of economic operation, and improve the efficiency of resource allocation and the effectiveness of national governance.
Over the past 70 years since the founding of New China, especially over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, our party has led the people to create amazing miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that have attracted worldwide attention. The Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong, which fully proves that the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is a feasible, practical and efficient system. The key to our unique and effective "China Governance" is that we have the "China Governance" with advanced connotation and obvious advantages. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee clearly pointed out that China’s national system has obvious advantages in 13 aspects, such as adhering to the centralized and unified leadership of the party, insisting that the people are the masters of the country, and persisting in governing the country according to law. This epidemic prevention and control once again fully demonstrated our institutional advantages.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "institutional advantage is the greatest advantage of a country, and institutional competition is the most fundamental competition among countries. If the system is stable, the country will be stable. " Facing the future, we should not only firmly believe that Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the fundamental guarantee for the development and progress of contemporary China, but also an advanced system with China characteristics, obvious advantages and strong self-improvement ability. We must continue to uphold and consolidate this system and give full play to its obvious advantages. At the same time, we should be soberly aware that compared with China’s economic and social development and the requirements of the people, compared with the various risks and challenges we face, compared with the arduous task of realizing long-term stability and comprehensive modernization of the country, our system is still insufficient and not fully mature. Only by continuously promoting comprehensive and deepening reforms, further enhancing the ability to guard against and resist the COVID-19 epidemic and its secondary risks and challenges, and promoting the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system to be more mature, stereotyped, perfect and consolidated, can we further consolidate and expand the institutional advantages and provide a strong guarantee for the improvement of national governance efficiency.
2. Improving governance efficiency is the basis of strengthening institutional advantages.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out during the 17th collective study in the 19th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee that "whether a social system is scientific or advanced depends mainly on whether it conforms to the national conditions, whether it works effectively and whether it is supported by the people". In other words, whether a system is good or not can be consolidated and improved, not by how perfect its overall design is, but by whether it can bring tangible benefits to the country and people where it is located, and by what role it plays in promoting development, improving people’s livelihood, maintaining order and promoting harmony. It can be said that state governance and its efficiency improvement are the important foundation for the survival of the state system and the enhancement of its advantages. The level of governance efficiency is directly related to the persistence and improvement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s fundamental system, basic system and important system.
According to the development law of human society, the founder of scientific socialism scientifically revealed the historical trend of socialism replacing capitalism, and outlined the basic characteristics of the future social and economic system, including social possession of means of production, central planning to regulate social production, distribution according to work and distribution according to needs. After the founding of New China, after nearly 30 years of development, China has gradually established an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system, laying a good industrial foundation, especially the foundation of heavy industry. However, the one-sided pursuit of the single ownership model of "one big, two big and three pure" makes the advantages of the socialist system not fully exerted. Since the reform and opening up, practice has become the only criterion to test the truth. A series of specific practices, such as the household contract responsibility system, which have been proved to be effective by practice, have been continuously raised to the national institutional norms, and the socialist basic economic system with obvious advantages, including the three systems, has been gradually established and improved. The prevention and control of the epidemic and the resumption of work and production can be vigorously promoted, which fully demonstrates once again that the remarkable advantages of the socialist basic economic system can be truly transformed into remarkable governance efficiency, and can fully gather the positive effects of various subjects such as the public economy and the non-public economy, as well as the government, market and society in dealing with major exogenous shocks, which will certainly provide a practical basis for further enhancing the remarkable advantages of the socialist basic economic system.
The vitality of the system lies in implementation and efficiency. To improve the governance efficiency of our country, we must strengthen the implementation of the system by promoting comprehensive and deepening reforms. Based on whether the governance efficiency can be improved, on the one hand, we can perfect and finalize the institutional arrangements that are feasible, practical and efficient, so as to better demonstrate and enhance our institutional advantages; On the other hand, we can transform those institutional arrangements that are not feasible, useless, inefficient, vacant, idling or even out of order to effectively expand and give play to our institutional advantages.
3. Deepening reform in an all-round way is the key to promote the coordinated improvement of institutional advantages and governance efficiency.
"If the trend of the world is not prosperous, it will decline. If the rule of the world does not advance, it will retreat." Today, the world is experiencing a great change that has never happened in a hundred years, and China is in a critical period to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must conform to the trend of the times, adapt to the changes of major contradictions in our society, and strive to promote the coordinated improvement of China’s institutional advantages and governance efficiency. To this end, we must continue to deepen the reform of institutional mechanisms in all fields, make greater efforts to uphold and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, highlight the fundamental system, basic system and important system that support the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, focus on consolidating the foundation, promoting advantages, supplementing shortcomings and strengths, and building a systematic, scientific, standardized and effective institutional system. At the same time, we must strengthen system governance, legal governance, comprehensive governance and source governance.
To promote comprehensive and deepening reform and promote the coordinated improvement of institutional advantages and governance efficiency, we must put institutional construction in a more important position. While maintaining the stability and continuity of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system and national governance system, we should pay close attention to formulating the system urgently needed for the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity and the system necessary to meet people’s new expectations for a better life. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee introduced 336 major reform measures, which have not been completed yet. We must highlight the main line of system construction. We should not only continue to uphold and improve the country’s fundamental system, basic system and important system, but also make efforts to supplement and improve the specific systems that match the above-mentioned systems. We must also resolutely reform the outdated and "marginal effect weakening" institutional arrangements, push all aspects of the system closer to being more mature, more stereotyped and more perfect, and optimize the institutional structure. At the same time, efforts must be made to improve the systematicness, integrity and synergy of reform, coordinate top-level design and hierarchical docking, coordinate system reform and system operation, so that various reform measures and institutional arrangements complement each other and form an overall effect, and continue to promote the timely rise of various reform measures into more synergistic institutional achievements, and continue to promote the systematic integration of institutional achievements into more significant institutional advantages, and continue to promote the effective transformation of institutional advantages into more efficient governance efficiency, and continuously improve the modernization level of national governance.
To promote comprehensive and deepening reform and promote the coordinated improvement of institutional advantages and governance efficiency, we must take improving governance practice as an important task. System is the norm, and governance is the behavior. The synergistic promotion of institutional advantages and governance efficiency must rely on the continuous improvement of governance practice. First of all, constantly improve the governance methods. Promote integrated governance in economic, political, cultural, social, ecological, military, diplomatic and other fields, and strengthen systematic governance; Standardize governance behaviors and activities in all fields and at all levels according to law, and strengthen governance according to law; Construct a governance pattern of benign interaction between government and society, multi-subjects participating together and comprehensive application of various methods, and strengthen comprehensive governance; Strengthen the "targeted governance" of problem-oriented and precise policy, and strengthen the source governance. Secondly, strengthen the construction of cadres, and take improving governance ability as a major task in the construction of cadres in the new era. Adhere to the principle that the Party is in charge of cadres, take the system execution and governance capacity as the important basis for the selection, appointment, assessment and evaluation of cadres, and improve the ability of leading cadres to effectively deal with all kinds of major emergencies by strengthening ideological tempering, political experience, practical training and professional training, and improve the level of scientific, democratic and legal governance.
The synergistic improvement of institutional advantages and governance efficiency is not only a process of improving institutional system, but also a process of improving governance capacity. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out, "We have embarked on the successful road of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system. As long as we continue along this road, we will certainly be able to modernize the national governance system and governance capacity.". We must focus on the overall goal of "upholding and improving Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system and promoting the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity", constantly deepen reform in an all-round way, bravely promote theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation and other aspects of innovation, comprehensively enhance national governance capacity and improve governance practice, realize the same-frequency resonance between institutional advantages and governance efficiency, and strive to promote the continuous improvement and development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional system and governance system, showing more significant institutional advantages and governance efficiency.

The price of gold is "arrogant"! Global central banks hoarded 800 tons of gold.

On December 4, COMEX gold futures once stood at the $2,150 mark per ounce, and spot gold rose to $2,146.87 per ounce, both hitting record highs. The soaring international gold price has driven the domestic gold retail and jewelry prices to rise further. As of press time, COMEX gold futures temporarily reported $2,047.6, up slightly by 0.26%.

In addition to ordinary investors snapping up gold, a big buyer of gold is the central banks of various countries. According to the report of the World Gold Council, in the first nine months of this year, central banks have been increasing their gold holdings, which is also a catalyst for the higher price of gold. In the first three quarters, central banks bought about 800 tons of gold, an increase of 14% compared with the same period last year. A recent survey by the World Gold Council also shows that 24% of the central banks intend to continue to increase their gold reserves in the next 12 months. According to the latest statistics released by the People’s Bank of China in 2023, China’s gold reserves reached 71.2 million ounces at the end of October, an increase of 740,000 ounces from the previous month, which was the 12th consecutive month.

According to media reports, there are multiple factors behind the record high of gold prices, and the expectation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve is the key reason. Now the influence of geopolitical conflicts has been greatly weakened. Wang Xinjie, chief investment strategist of Standard Chartered China Wealth Management Department, told reporters that the current surge in gold prices was caused by the market’s expectation of future interest rate cuts, which led to a sharp drop in yields, thus supporting the gold price.

Part of the gold jewelry 630 yuan per gram.

According to a report by CCTV Finance on December 5th, at the Shuibei Gold Wholesale Market in Shenzhen, at two or three o’clock in the afternoon, although it was not as hot as the sea of people in August and September, many people came to buy gold. The domestic gold price as high as 483 yuan per gram on the display screen in the market has not stopped some people from buying gold. According to industry insiders, the domestic gold price of 483 yuan per gram has broken through the peak of domestic wholesale gold price, which is the highest in recent years.

According to the data of gold price inquiry network, with the blessing of brand premium, the gold ornaments of some gold jewelry brands even reached 630 yuan per gram on December 4th, a record high. According to industry insiders, the turnover rate of gold wholesale enterprises and production enterprises has been greatly improved under the blessing of the mentality of "buying up and not buying down".

Image source: video screenshot

Shi Xiang, a planning consultant of a gold and jewelry enterprise in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, said that the overall turnover rate this year increased by about 15%-20% compared with last year. The trend of gold price has been steadily rising throughout this year, so consumers have full confidence in gold investment.

According to industry insiders, in January and December each year, related gold production enterprises and wholesale enterprises enter the stocking stage to meet the upcoming sales season in February and March. At present, among the stocked products, the proportion of new products for "post-90s" and "post-00s" has expanded, and the "Dragon" series products for the Year of the Loong have also increased significantly.

What is the sales situation of some Shanghai gold jewelry brand stores? How has the sales of investment gold bars changed?

In several gold sales stores in Huangpu District, Shanghai, the listing price of pure gold generally ranges from 627 yuan to 631 yuan per gram, while the price of investment gold bars ranges from 572 yuan to 586 yuan per gram, which is higher than the previous day. Although it is a working day and the price of gold is at a high level, there are still many consumers in the store.

According to a report by Securities Daily on December 4, Luo Tuming, a senior investment consultant of Jufeng Investment, said in an interview: "This is related to the psychology that consumers are buying more and more. The historical market of large-scale assets has one thing in common, that is, when the rising logic is widely recognized by the market, the asset price will rise further, and the rising asset price will strengthen people’s confidence in the asset, resulting in the phenomenon of rising and buying, buying and rising. "

Bai Wen Xi, chief economist of IPG China, told reporters: "In the process of rising gold prices, some consumers think that the price of gold jewelry will continue to rise in the future, which will lead to an increase in the purchase cost, so they will choose to buy it in time. In addition, consumers’ willingness to buy safe-haven assets such as gold has increased, driving the demand for gold consumption to rise. "

Hidden risks behind the record high of gold price

Recently, the differences between the market and the Federal Reserve for cutting interest rates next year are becoming more and more prominent. Officially, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is still very cautious, refuting the market speculation that the Fed will cut interest rates in the first half of next year and retaining the option of further interest rate hikes. "It is too early to conclude that we have achieved enough restrictive positions, or to speculate when the policy may be relaxed. If the time is right, we are prepared to further tighten the policy. "

Quite dramatically, although Powell tried to downplay the market’s interest rate cut expectations, Wall Street’s interest rate cut expectations were further strengthened. According to the observation tools of the Federal Reserve of the Chicago Chamber of Commerce, the current market expects that the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in May next year will be as high as 85%, and the probability of cutting interest rates in March next year will be as high as 70%.

The gap between the market’s interest rate cut expectations and the Federal Reserve means that there is great uncertainty in the future. Wang Xinjie analyzed that the doveish remarks of Fed officials superimposed on the Beige Book showed that the economy was slowing down, which strengthened the market’s expectation of the future Fed interest rate cut. In the second half of this year, the market’s expectation of suspending interest rate hikes and future interest rate cuts was ahead of the Fed’s dotted chart. However, in the absence of a clear timing for the Fed to cut interest rates, any deviation between economic data and market expectations may make the market fluctuate.

According to the Securities Daily, Bai Wen Xi said: "In the short term, the price of gold may remain at a high level. In the medium and long term, there is still uncertainty about the trend of gold prices. "

Next year, the prosperity of the gold and jewelry consumer industry is generally optimistic. China Merchants Securities Research Report said: "Since 2020, the gold jewelry industry has been cleared at the tail and expanded at the head, and the industry concentration has increased. New technologies such as 5G and ancient gold have improved the degree of differentiation and fashion of gold jewelry, and the demand for self-satisfaction, wedding jewelry and investment preservation will be released in 2023. Multiple factors have jointly pushed up the prosperity of the gold and jewelry industry in 2023. In 2024, consumption and investment demand are expected to continue, and the overall prosperity of the industry is expected to rise steadily. "
