Map of the spread of the Black Death

While human beings improve their own destiny, they also increase their weakness in the face of diseases. We should realize that the strength of human beings is limited, and we should bear in mind that the more we win, the more we push infectious diseases to the edge of human experience, and the more we clear the way for catastrophic infectious diseases. We can never escape the limitations of the ecosystem. Whether we are happy or not, we are all in the food chain, eating and being eaten.

Ten worst plagues in human history.

Athens plague

(430 BC–427 BC)

From 430 BC to 427 BC, there was a great plague in Athens, nearly half of the population died and the whole Athens was almost destroyed. Some experts believe that this epidemic is the plague. The plague in Athens was a devastating infectious disease, which attacked the whole city of ancient Greece and Rome.

The Greek historian Thucydides described the plague that destroyed Athens in this way. "People who are strong and healthy are suddenly attacked by a severe high fever, their eyes are red as if they are spraying flames, and their throats or tongues begin to be congested and emit unnatural stench. With vomiting and diarrhea, they are suffering from terrible thirst. At this time, the patients’ body pain and inflammation turn into ulcers, and they cannot sleep or endure the touch of the bed. Some patients wander naked in the street, looking for water to drink until they fall to the ground and die.

Even dogs died of this disease, crows and vultures that ate human bodies lying everywhere died, and those who survived either lost their fingers, toes and eyes or lost their memories. "

"Antony plague" in ancient Rome

(AD 164-180)

The "Antony plague" in ancient Rome was caused by infection. According to historical records, the symptoms of this infectious disease are: severe diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, ulceration, high fever and hot hands, gangrene or gangrene, unbearable thirst, and purulent skin.

Soldiers who fought in the Near East returned to the Roman Empire, bringing smallpox and measles to the people of Anthony. Infectious diseases killed two Roman emperors. The first one was Lucius Verus, who died of illness in 169, and the second one was his successor, Kyle Aurelius Antoninus, who was an emperor until 180 AD, but was also doomed by infection.

The plague broke out again nine years later. According to Dioka, a Roman historian, at that time, 2,000 people died of illness in Rome one day, equivalent to a quarter of the infected people. It is estimated that the total death toll is as high as 5 million. In some places, the plague killed one third of the total population, greatly weakening the Roman army.

The plague also had a great influence on the society and politics of the Roman Empire, especially on the field of literature and art. In the picture below, the remains in the pit are the bones of the victims of infectious diseases, which is shocking.

At that time, it was in the second year of the Peloponnesian War, just as the victory of Athens was within reach. It is said that plague was introduced into Athens from Piraeus, a port city of Athens and a major source of food and daily necessities. Sparta and some parts of the eastern Mediterranean were also attacked by diseases.

This plague was revived twice in the winter of 429 BC and 427 BC. Modern historians disagree that plague was the reason why Athens lost in the Peloponnesian War. However, it is generally believed that the defeat of the war paved the way for Macedonia’s victory, and finally, the Roman Empire was established. According to historical records, the plague broke out in various forms, including typhoid fever, smallpox, measles, and toxic shock syndrome.

Justinian plague

(541-542)

Justinian plague refers to the first large-scale plague that broke out in the Mediterranean world from 541 to 542 AD. It caused extremely serious losses and deep damage to the Byzantine Empire. Its extremely high mortality rate caused the population of the Byzantine Empire to drop significantly, the labor force and troops to drop sharply, and the normal life order was seriously damaged. It also had far-reaching social negative consequences, and had a far-reaching impact on the historical development of the Byzantine Empire, the Mediterranean and Europe.

After the 4th century A.D., the once-prosperous Roman Empire gradually split into two parts: East and West. The emperors of the Byzantine Empire, which is far from the east, have always regarded themselves as the orthodox heirs of the Roman Empire, so they have been trying to recover lost ground, reunify the Roman Empire and reproduce the glory of the past. By the 6th century, Justinian, the emperor of Byzantine Empire, decided to take action to realize this dream. Thus, Justinian launched a conquest war against the western Mediterranean world in 533 AD. However, just as he swept across North Africa and conquered Italy, and was about to reappear the glory of the Roman Empire, an unprecedented plague came unexpectedly, which made the dream of rejuvenating the Eastern Roman Empire come to nothing. In 541 AD, the plague began to break out in Egypt, a territory of the Eastern Roman Empire, and then quickly spread to the capital Constantinople and other areas.

At that time, there were many strange and horrible scenes: when people were talking to each other, they couldn’t start shaking and then fell to the ground; When people are shopping, standing there talking or counting change, death will come unexpectedly. The poor people who slept on the street were the first to be infected with the plague. At the worst of the plague, 5,000 to 7,000 people died in one day, even tens of thousands of people died unfortunately.

In extreme fear, officials had to report to Justinian that the death toll soon exceeded 230,000, and there were no enough burial places. The bodies had to be piled up in the street, and the whole city smelled of corpses. Justinian himself was almost infected with the plague. In fear, he ordered the construction of many huge tombs that could bury tens of thousands of bodies, and recruited workers to dig holes to bury the dead with heavy money to stop the further spread of the plague. As a result, a large number of bodies, men and women, young and old, covered nearly 100 layers and were buried together. Plague killed 40% of the residents in Constantinople. It continued to ravage for half a century until a quarter of the Roman population died of plague. The famine and civil strife caused by the plague completely shattered Justinian’s ambition, and also weakened the Eastern Roman Empire to the point of collapse.

black death

(1347 – 1351)

The Black Death is one of the deadliest plagues in human history. It is generally believed that it is caused by a bacterium called plague. But recently, some people think it is caused by other diseases. The origin of plague has caused widespread controversy among experts. Some historians believe that the Black Death began in China or Central Asia in the 1420s and 1930s. In the following years, it was carried by businessmen and soldiers to Crimea in southern Russia. In the 1440s, the epidemic spread from Crimea to Western Europe and North Africa. The Black Death caused 75 million deaths worldwide, including 25 million to 50 million deaths in Europe.

A symptom of the Black Death is that there are many black spots on the patient’s skin, so this special plague is called "Black Death". For those infected with the disease, painful death is almost inevitable, and there is no possibility of cure.

The pathogen that caused the plague was carried by fleas hidden in the fur of black mice. In the 14th century, there were many black mice. Once the disease occurs, it will spread rapidly. Between 1348 and 1350, a total of 25 million Europeans died of the Black Death. However, the epidemic did not stop there. In the next 40 years, it happened again and again.

Before the plague bacteria broke out again in the 1420s, it had been lurking in the Gobi desert of Asia for hundreds of years, and then it quickly spread around with the blood in fleas on rats, from China to Central Asia and Turkey along the caravan trade route, and then it was taken to Italy and entered Europe by ship. The dense population in Europe has become the gunpowder barrel of this disease. In three years, the Black Death ravaged the whole European continent and then spread to Russia, resulting in the death of nearly one third to half of the Russian population.

American plague

(16th century)

Before the arrival of Europeans, there were 4 million to 5 million aborigines living in America, most of whom died in the 16th century, and some historians even called it "the biggest genocide in human history". However, the most direct killer who took the lives of Indians was not the guns of Europeans, but the plague they brought.

When Columbus arrived in the New World, Europeans had already experienced the catastrophe of fatal infectious diseases for many times, and also found ways to treat some infectious diseases. However, America was isolated from Eurasia for a long time before, and Indians were almost completely isolated from these diseases. European diseases began to spread to the New World after Columbus’s first trip to America. Mumps, measles, smallpox, cholera, gonorrhea and yellow fever, which have long been adapted by Europeans, are extremely lethal to Indians because their immune systems are almost immune, especially measles and smallpox. Therefore, even though the Aztecs and other Central American aborigines had walls that Europeans could not break, they were defeated by foreign plagues.

The plague destroyed the Aztec. In 1521, when the army of Mexican colonists began to besiege the fortress of Aztecs, the Mexican aborigines, they met with stubborn resistance and the attacks were repelled again and again. The Spanish, who were badly hit, thought that the Aztecs would take the opportunity to launch a deadly counterattack, but the troops in the castle were slow to see any action. This gave the Spaniards time to breathe. On August 21st, they launched a new offensive, but they did not encounter any resistance. The situation in the castle made them unbelievable: dead bodies were everywhere, and the smell of rotting bodies was everywhere. A force more deadly than the Spanish army had swept through the city, that is, the plague.

Some people once thought that it was backward weapons and technology that made American Indians lose to western colonists. Because in the traditional concept, the advanced weapons of Europeans have always been the key to their victory, but the western muskets at that time were not advanced. Indians soon found that although muskets were powerful, it was not easy to aim at them, and their fear of new weapons disappeared. And the long-range power of Indian bows and arrows is not inferior. In the 15th century, Inca culture in Latin America reached its peak. They built fields, had a clear social division of labor, and created a prosperous economy. Their knowledge of astronomy and geography was enough to amaze modern people. However, such a plague has made such a not backward race on the verge of extinction in just a few decades.

In fact, the spread of infectious diseases in Europe completely exceeded the speed of colonists’ advance to the American continent, and most Indians who learned of the arrival of Europeans from coastal residents were also infected with new diseases. Therefore, when the colonists arrived in Chile in the 1520s, the Inca civilization here had already been hit hard by smallpox, and almost all the royal families were killed by the plague. The new battle for the throne split the whole country in two, which gave the Spaniards an opportunity.

Resistance to disease was also the reason why the plague prevailed at that time. Infectious diseases are mostly mutated from animals, first transmitted to people, and then spread among human groups. Because Europe has a long history of agriculture and a large number of livestock, frequent contact with germs has formed adaptability for thousands of years; Indians, on the other hand, are not. The underdevelopment of agriculture makes them congenital lack of experience in contact with livestock. Their bodies rarely encounter such germs, so they have no immunity at all, so they are defeated in front of smallpox. Africans, on the other hand, have similar immune systems and resistance because of their earlier contact with Europeans. And the spread of disease can also be two-way. At that time, the only disease that was introduced into Europe from America was syphilis, which claimed the lives of a large number of Europeans.

Milan plague

(1629–1631)

From 1629 to 1631, a series of plagues broke out in Italy, usually called the Milan Plague. Including rumba and Venice, the plague killed about 280 thousand people. The Great Plague in Milan is the last great plague among all epidemic plagues after the Black Death began.

In 1629, German and French soldiers brought infectious diseases to mantua. During the Thirty Years’ War, the Venetian army was infected with the disease. When they retreated to north-central Italy, they spread the disease to the local people. At that time, the total population of Milan was 130 thousand, and the number of people who died of illness in this plague was as high as 60 thousand.

Great plague in London

(1665-1666)

The Great Plague in London refers to a large-scale plague that occurred in England from 1665 to 1666. In this plague, 75,000 to 100,000 people died, more than one-fifth of the total population of London at that time. It was historically identified as a large-scale black death caused by bubonic plague, and Yersinia pestis was infected by people through fleas. This infectious disease was the last large-scale outbreak of bubonic plague in England in 1665.

There are two theories about the source of the plague. One is from France. In April 1665, two French sailors fainted at the intersection of Trulli Street and Longacre in West End of London. Later, the virus they carried caused widespread infection. Another way of saying this is that the plague virus comes from the Netherlands, where the disease has spread since 1599. The first area hit by the plague was St Gilles parish in London. In the winter from the end of 1664 to the beginning of 1665, there were already cases there, but it was not until the spring of 1665 that the disease spread rapidly on a large scale due to the massive increase of population and the sharp deterioration of sanitary conditions. By July 1665, the plague had spread all over London. At that time, King Charles II and his family were forced to leave London for Oxfordshire, but the mayor and counselor were still sticking to their posts. And some clergy, doctors and pharmacists have been busy all summer. The streets are full of doctors in charge of plague, although many of them are unlicensed.

Because the plague spread very quickly, people had to seal off the houses where the sick people lived, and paint the Red Cross outside the closed door with the words "God bless" written on it. No one was allowed to enter or leave. Only at a limited time every day, food and water are sent through the window by special personnel. Thousands of patients died miserably under such bad conditions, and at most, no fewer than ten thousand people died in a week. By early September, the bustling city of London had completely turned into a silent dead city. All the shops are closed, there are almost no pedestrians in the street, and the roadside is covered with lush weeds. The only job in the city that can break the silence from time to time is to transport the bodies. Every night, the corpse truck "Gollum, Gollum!" The sound of wheels and the mournful ringing of cars made people feel creepy. At first, the burial work was only carried out in the middle of the night. Later, the number of the dead was too large, and it had to be carried out day and night. The bodies of the deceased were littered with corpse trucks and transported to burial pits everywhere. There, the workers in charge of burying bodies often cover their faces, ring bells and say, "rest in peace!" " Pour the body into the pit in a hurry, cover it with thin soil and leave in a hurry.

Records show that the number of deaths in London has been rising from 1,000 to 2,000 per week, and by September 1665, there were 7,000 deaths per week on average. By late autumn, the situation had been controlled to a certain extent. By February 1666, the city was considered safe enough to welcome the king. At the same time, due to the commercial exchanges with the European continent, the plague spread to France. After that, until September 1666, the plague was still moderately prevalent. On September 2 and 3, a fire broke out in the city of London, which destroyed most of the infected houses, which was the beginning of the improvement of the situation. Another possible reason is that most of the infected people have died. Since then, the city of London has been rebuilt on the basis of the fire, and it has been reborn after this plague.

the great plague of marseille

(1720 – 1722)

In 1720, Marseille was hit by a plague, which was the worst disaster in the city’s history and one of the worst plagues in Europe in the early 18th century.

In 1720, a plague broke out in Marseille, France, affecting the whole city and surrounding cities, killing 100 thousand people. The plague came and went quickly, and Marseille quickly recovered from it. It took only a few short years for the economy to recover and develop rapidly, and trade expanded to the West Indies and Latin America. By 1765, the population growth had returned to the level before 1720. This plague is not as destructive as the Black Death in the 14th century.

The rapid end of this plague is not unrelated to the tough measures taken by the French government. The government stipulates that if Marseille citizens have any contact or communication with people in Provence and other places, they will be sentenced to death. In order to strengthen the isolation, the plague wall was also established.

Black Death in Moscow

(1771)

The first signs of plague in Moscow were at the end of 1770, and it became an epidemic plague in the spring of 1771.

At that time, the government took a series of measures, such as setting up isolation zones, destroying polluted property and closing public baths. The great plague caused great panic and anger among the citizens. The economy of the whole city is paralyzed, mainly because many factories, markets, shops and administrative buildings have been closed. Then there is a serious shortage of food, which has caused the living standards of most Moscow people to become lower and lower. In order to escape the plague, the aristocracy and rich people left Moscow one after another.

On the morning of September 17, 1771, about 1000 people gathered at the entrance of Spasskiye again, demanding the release of captured anti-government militants and the elimination of isolation. The army tried to disperse the crowd, but it couldn’t. In the end, it could only suppress the riot again. About 300 people were imprisoned. On September 26th, a government official under Carracin orlov was sent to Moscow to restore social order.

In order to alleviate the impact of the plague, the government took some measures, such as providing jobs for citizens and distributing food to them, which finally calmed the dissatisfaction of Moscow people.

The third plague pandemic

(1885-1950s)

The third plague pandemic refers to a major plague that began in Yunnan, China Province in 1855. This worldwide pandemic is famous for its rapid spread and wider spread than the previous two. The plague spread to all inhabited continents. After it first spread from Yunnan to Guizhou, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Fuzhou and Xiamen, the death toll in these places reached more than 100,000. The plague in southern China also spread rapidly to India, to San Francisco in 1900, to Europe and Africa, and to more than 60 countries in 77 ports in 10 years. In India and China alone, more than 12 million people died of this plague. According to the World Health Organization, the parade lasted until 1959, when the number of people who died of plague in the world was reduced to about 200. The characteristic of this epidemic is that the epidemic areas are mostly distributed in coastal cities and densely populated residential areas nearby, and there are also epidemics among domestic animals.

Almost all Chinese and foreign scholars agree that the third world plague pandemic originated in Yunnan, and that Yunnan is an ancient focus of rodent plague, but they all assert that there is no natural focus of plague in Yunnan, and that the plague in Yunnan is imported. That is, it was introduced directly or from India and Myanmar. However, in 1974, plague workers in Yunnan isolated Yersinia pestis from Apodemus sinensis in Jianchuan County, Yunnan Province, which confirmed that there was a natural plague focus in western Yunnan, and scholars called it the Chiese plague focus of the longitudinal valley miletus in western Yunnan, which provided further scientific basis for the third plague pandemic.

Original title: "Ten worst plagues in human history"

Strengthen top-level design, improve standards and norms, and promote the sustainable and healthy development of "Internet+government services"

  The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to the work of "Internet+government services". In April 2016, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the symposium on network security and informatization that it is necessary to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity through informatization, coordinate the development of e-government, and build an integrated online service platform. Premier Li Keqiang proposed in the government work report of the "two sessions" in 2016 that "Internet+government services" should be vigorously promoted, data sharing among departments should be realized, and residents and the masses should run less errands, handle affairs easily and avoid congestion. In order to strengthen the national integration of "Internet+Government Services" technology and the top-level design and standardization of the service system, according to the unified deployment, the E-government Office of the State Council organized and compiled the "Guide to the Construction of Internet+Government Services" technology system (hereinafter referred to as the "Construction Guide"), which was issued to all regions and departments in the name of the State Council in December 2016. The Construction Guide puts forward the information-based solutions and operation methods to standardize the operation of administrative power and optimize the supply of government services, which is of positive significance for promoting the standardized construction of "Internet+government services" platform in various regions and departments and promoting the sustainable and healthy development of "Internet+government services".

  First, the "Construction Guide" was compiled at the right time

  With the deepening of the transformation of government functions and the development of information technology, online government service has become an important way for the government to provide services to the society and the public, and "Internet+government service" is gradually becoming a new way, new channel and new carrier to innovate government management and service. It can be said that the current promotion of "Internet+government services" is just the right time, with foundation, conditions and motivation. It is a major measure for governments at all levels to deepen reform and actively adapt to the situation. It is of great significance for accelerating the transformation of government functions, improving the efficiency of government services, deepening mass entrepreneurship and innovation, further stimulating market vitality and accelerating the formation of new development momentum.

  Strengthening the national integration of "Internet+government services" technology and the top-level design of service system is not only an important measure to implement the relevant decision-making arrangements in the State Council, but also an urgent need for various regions and departments to promote the work of "Internet+government services". At the same time, the construction of online government service platform in various regions and departments has achieved positive results. However, due to the separate construction, there are great differences between departments and regions, the affairs are not comprehensive, the standardization, fineness and convenience of service information are not high enough, online and offline connectivity is not smooth, cross-regional and cross-departmental information sharing is difficult, business collaboration is difficult, and basic support such as security and identity authentication is insufficient. Many comrades in local departments have reported that the construction of government service technology system is of overall significance. If it is not unified in the top-level design perspective, new information islands and information fragmentation will be formed. It is urgent to strengthen overall planning from the national level and standardize and guide the construction of government service platforms from the technical and content levels.

  In order to implement the spirit of leading comrades’ important instructions on promoting "Internet+government services", the E-government Office of the State Council focused on the construction of "Internet+government services" platform, information sharing, interconnection and other aspects to promote the pilot demonstration and technical system construction of "Internet+government services". First, organize relevant provinces and cities to carry out pilot demonstrations. Since the beginning of 2016, focusing on the outstanding problems in government services, we have organized Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guizhou, Gansu and Qingdao to carry out the pilot work of "Internet+government services" to solve a number of blocking points and pain points that restrict the whole online service, improve the integrated support capacity of government services, explore effective methods to realize cross-regional and cross-departmental information sharing, and initially establish a clearly classified, objective and comprehensive evaluation and assessment system. The pilot work was fully affirmed by the leading comrades in the State Council, and it also provided examples and experiences for improving the pertinence and operability of the Construction Guide. The second is to organize the preparation of the "Internet+Government Services" technical system construction guide. Compiling the Construction Guide is not only the key task of the Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Work of Internet+Government Services, but also the key link of the work of Internet+Government Services. The compilation of "Construction Guide" lasted for nearly one year, and received strong support from various regions and departments. We tried to put forward the implementation path and operation method around the last mile of "Internet+government service" from the perspective of the role of informatization through the compilation of the guide.

  Two, the preparation of the "Construction Guide" is a process of building consensus and solving difficult problems.

  (A) the main preparation process

  The E-government Office of the State Council officially started the compilation of the Construction Guide in January 2016. First, a working mechanism with extensive participation of relevant parties has been established. Invite the heads of five local government service agencies and e-government agencies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guizhou, Gansu and Qingdao to set up special working groups; Set up an overall group led by the State-run E-government Office and an expert group composed of experts in e-government related fields; Invite research institutions such as National School of Administration and National Information Center as supporting units; Establish normal working contact with the central network information office, development and reform commission and other functional departments. The second is to carry out in-depth research and discussion exchanges. Organized a technical training and exchange meeting for the construction of "Internet+Government Services" platform for 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government); Held a centralized research meeting attended by 10 regions including Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian and Guangdong; Go to relevant areas to carry out field research; Relying on the "Internet+Government Services" series forums of the National School of Administration, some local departments and experts were organized to hold special seminars. Through extensive investigation, we have a comprehensive understanding of the experience, practices and existing problems of various departments in various regions, as well as opinions and suggestions on the compilation of the guide. The third is to combine the pilot demonstration work and key technology research, comprehensively sort out and summarize the current situation and common problems of government services in various regions and departments, and fully absorb the achievements and experiences of exploration and practice in promoting the construction of government service halls and online government service platforms in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guizhou, Gansu, Ningxia, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Nanjing and other regions.Organize forces to focus on tackling key problems and prepare the first draft of the Construction Guide. The fourth is to solicit opinions from relevant localities, departments and experts. It has held many expert argumentation meetings, local department symposiums and consultation meetings, and solicited opinions from local departments in writing after the first draft was formed. According to the opinions and suggestions of various departments in various regions, it has been revised and improved many times.

  (B) several principles to grasp in the preparation work

  First, adhere to the problem orientation. In view of the difficulties, pain points and blocking points in online government service, such as nonstandard content, inconvenient service, non-interoperability of online government service platforms, non-sharing of data, poor online and offline connectivity, and insufficient standardization of government service, this paper deeply analyzes the reasons, studies and formulates solutions, optimizes the government service structure, improves the construction mechanism, and strives to break through the information barrier. The second is to strengthen the top-level design. According to the requirements of national chess game and local conditions, do a good job in the top-level design of "Internet+government services" and gradually establish technical standards and management norms covering all aspects of the whole process of "Internet+government services". The third is to promote resource integration. Make full use of existing facilities and data resources, optimize and improve the construction level of existing government service platforms in various regions and departments, so as to make up the position and avoid starting a new stove. Guided by norms and supported by platforms, we will give full play to the role of public "channels" and common support, and promote cross-regional, cross-departmental and cross-disciplinary information sharing and business collaboration. The fourth is to pay attention to open collaboration. Make full use of Internet thinking, government and social forces, fully absorb the practical results of pioneering regional exploration, take into account the development reality of different regions, and provide different construction modes and application depth versions for various regions and departments to choose according to the actual situation, focusing on popularization, replication and sustainability, and striving to highlight operability, iteration and foresight.

  (3) The key problems to be solved in the guide

  Focusing on solving the outstanding problems existing in the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services", such as the difficulty in handling affairs, examination and approval, running errands, and many certificates, the Construction Guide focuses on the key links of "Internet+government services" business support, basic platforms, key technologies, evaluation and assessment, clarifies the technical framework and service specifications, and formulates technical schemes, management methods and standards for promoting cross-regional and cross-departmental platform interoperability, mutual recognition of licenses, and data exchange. Strengthen the top-level design and standardization of the national integrated "Internet+government service" system, promote the cracking of "information islands" and "data chimneys", so that information can "run more roads" and enterprises and the masses can "run less errands". First, in order to solve the problems of incomplete, irregular and inconvenient online affairs, standardize the construction of business support system, promote the standardization of matters list, work guide, detailed review, collaborative business handling and dynamic management of matters; Second, in view of the problems of non-interoperability and data sharing of online government service platforms, strengthen the construction of basic platform system, realize unified declaration, unified acceptance, centralized handling, unified feedback and whole process supervision of government services, and promote platform integration and data sharing; Third, in view of the general technical obstacles to the development of online government services, improve the construction of key support technology systems, and promote the construction of unified online identity authentication, unified electronic license database, and the application of big data and cloud computing in government services; Fourth, in view of the lack of user experience and evaluation methods of government services, we will promote the construction of evaluation and assessment system, and promote the improvement of government services with electronic monitoring and third-party evaluation as the starting point.

  Third, strengthen overall planning, form a joint force, and promote the implementation of the "Construction Guide"

  Promoting "Internet+Government Services" is a systematic project involving the overall situation and far-reaching influence, and it is also a pioneering work. In the next step, in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on promoting "Internet+government services", we will work closely with the relevant departments of the State Council and various departments in various regions, focusing on implementing the Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Accelerating the Work of "Internet+Government Services" and the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Printing and Distributing the Guide for the Construction of the Technical System of "Internet+Government Services", and strive to reshape this relationship’s government functions and make it practical and convenient. In 2017, the E-government Office of the State Council, together with relevant parties, will strengthen the overall coordination, supervision and inspection, evaluation and evaluation of the implementation of the Construction Guide, do a good job in the publicity, interpretation and training of the Construction Guide, organize relevant regions and departments to carry out pilot demonstrations, supervise and inspect the implementation of the Construction Guide in a timely manner, promote the evaluation and evaluation of the online government service capabilities of various regions and departments in a timely manner, and guide and standardize the integration of online government services of various regions and departments.

Snapdragon 8 Gen1 or Snapdragon 870, which is better, Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Plus?

Hot sale this week

Qualcomm has had an eventful year. It abandoned the Snapdragon 8XX naming scheme of its flagship processor series and started with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 brand. However, this did not help the company solve the overheating and throttling problems that plagued the Snapdragon 888, because Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 also had the same problem in a wider range. It was learned from the whistleblower that the upcoming high-end chipset will be based on TSMC’s 4nm semiconductor manufacturing process, which has been tested. The efficiency is higher than the 4nm process of Samsung OEM. Qualcomm is planning to transfer its flagship SoC order to TSMC, because the Taiwan Province company’s 4nm manufacturing process provides higher yield and stable chips, and SM8475 will be the first Qualcomm chip based on TSMC’s 4nm node. Smartphone OEM has mastered the snapdragon 8Gen1 and the Snapdragon 700 series chipset that will debut at the same time. Snapdragon 8Gen1 will appear on the flagship model as early as June 2022. The first-stage customer list includes Lenovo, Motorola, Yijia and Xiaomi. The recent acceleration of the release cycle of new chips can be attributed to several factors, ranging from performance problems to low yield and the heat Qualcomm faces in MediaTek.MediaTek Tianji 9000, Tianji 8100 and Tianji 8000 chips all show impressive performance improvement, and their cost is lower than that charged by Qualcomm for their solutions. Qualcomm understands this and is actively trying to minimize the losses.

        Shanghai-style cheongsam in 1930s and 1940s is a typical representative of cheongsam in the Republic of China, and it is also an indelible mark of the times left by women in that era in the eyes of the world.

        Song Luxia is a well-known family history writer in Shanghai. Since 2007, she began to collect the old Shanghai ladies’ cheongsam, and now there are more than 100 pieces. The owners of these cheongsam are all famous women in the Republic of China, including Song Meiling, Zhang Leyi, the wife of Song Ziwen, a famous financier and politician in the Republic of China, Yan Youyun, the wife of Dr. Gu Weijun, a diplomat, Zhang Youyi, the original wife of Xu Zhimo, and Xia Meng, a movie star that old Shanghai worships all their lives. These cheongsams are now included in the newly published "Shanghai Celebrity Cheongsam Treasures".

Cheongsam in Zhang Youyi

        Song Luxia said that it was entirely by accident that she came into contact with these cheongsams and came up with the idea of collecting cheongsams worn by celebrities on the beach. She has been writing family history for more than 20 years, and interviewed more than 20 families, including Li Hongzhang’s family and Sheng Xuanhuai’s family. Since then, Song Luxia has independently written about the women in the big family in Shanghai, and has come into contact with many precious old photos. All the women in the photos are dressed in new Shanghai-style cheongsam, gorgeous and dignified.

        "The more I look at such old photos, the more I feel. I have never seen these cheongsam before I was 63 years old. When we were young, we received red education. Both men and women wore green military uniforms. The whole country was a sea of green and gray, and it was impossible to talk about the concept of fashion. After the reform and opening up, western fashion has flooded into the country, and there is such a gap in the costumes of China. " Song Luxia said.

        In the process of interviewing family history, Song Luxia came into contact with many descendants of big families, including some old ladies who are still alive. Many of them did not care and generously gave away the cheongsam they used to wear. "Once I called Li Hongzhang’s descendants in Hong Kong, a 95-year-old woman, Li Jiajin, who was Li Hongzhang’s great-granddaughter. I said to her,’ Miss Li, look through the box and find out the old cheongsam you are wearing in your photo.’ The other party replied,’ why didn’t you call two months ago? I gave away two boxes of cheongsam two months ago.’ I said,’ Why did you give away two boxes of cheongsam?’ She said,’ I was stimulated. A friend of mine was as old as me. After her death, her children dragged nine sacks of clothes out of her house and threw them away, most of which were cheongsam. Why wait for them to throw it at me? I’ll throw it myself alive.’ ""In this case, young people don’t understand the preciousness of these cheongsam. If we don’t track them, we will lose one if we throw one. " Song Luxia said that the old lady Li came and rummaged through everything, and finally found two cheongsam.

        In the process of collecting cheongsam, Song Luxia met the great granddaughter of Yan Xiaofang, the first president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and Ms. Xu Jingcan, the niece of Yan Youyun, who were both in Shanghai. The two of them hit it off and collected resources together. "My side is basically a descendant of a big family. During the interview, we all became good friends, so we can still knock on their doors. Many people in xu teacher are relatives."

Cheongsam in Yan Youyun

        "Due to various complicated reasons, it is rare for famous ladies in the Republic of China to stay in the mainland. We mobilized Shanghai’s famous ladies to contact overseas relatives, and more cheongsam were sent back from the United States, Japan, Canada and other places."

        Among the more than 100 pieces of cheongsam collected by Song Luxia, there are three pieces of cheongsam in Song Meiling, among which one piece of black silk jacquard cheongsam is particularly dignified, and its collection experience is also quite tortuous. Song Luxia interviewed Yan Renmei, Yan Xiaofang’s great granddaughter, when she was writing about a famous family in Shanghai. At that time, she was already an old lady in her 100 s. "We talked about cheongsam, and I asked her to show us the cheongsam in the old photo, which opened her eyes. She said that my cheongsam was gone during the Cultural Revolution, but I had Song Meiling’s cheongsam." When Song Luxia heard this, she felt that it was also a disaster. After many twists and turns, she salvaged these three dusty cheongsam from the bottom of the box under the bed of Yan Renmei’s Shanghai husband’s room.

Cheongsam in Song Meiling

        It turns out that Yan Renmei is best friends with Miss Kong Jia and Song Ailing’s daughter Kong Lingyi. In the 1970s and 1980s, Yan Renmei lived in Kong Lingyi’s house when she first arrived in the United States. Through Kong Lingyi’s relationship, Song Meiling once sent her a box of clothes. Among them, three pieces of Song Meiling cheongsam were brought back to Shanghai by Yan Renmei from the United States in the early 1980s.

        "The old lady said that you can’t wear it now that you are old. You should take it to the exhibition." Song Luxia said.

        Another light pink silk beaded cheongsam is Zhang Leyi’s cheongsam. "The most jewels." Song Luxia said, "Zhang Leyi was the wife of Song Ziwen, a famous financier, politician and senior government official during the Republic of China. She has accompanied her husband to numerous important activities in her life, and she has always worn China cheongsam in various public and official occasions. " This cheongsam also changed hands several times and eventually returned to Shanghai by express delivery from new york.

Cheongsam in Zhang Leyi

        Song Luxia’s favorite is two silk embroidered cheongsam by Sheng Fanyi, the niece of Sheng Xuanhuai, the westernization minister in the late Qing Dynasty. "One is a emerald green butterfly flower, and the other is a red-bottomed crane peach, which she made in Suzhou half a century ago." Song Luxia said. The old lady is still alive, and she is 97 years old. "These two pieces are at least the cheongsam that she wore in her teens or even twenties. The bust is very small, only 80 cm. I tried all the clothes racks now, but I couldn’t fit them." The 90-year-old woman recalled her custom-made cheongsam scene and sighed, "It’s very troublesome, the fabric is very elegant, looking for styles, tailors and embroiderers …"

        Today, Xia Meng, 81, is a smash hit movie star and Jin Yong’s dream lover. "Her blue knitted mercerized cotton cheongsam is fresh and elegant in color, with exquisite Suzhou embroidery on the chest." Song Luxia said that for the sake of Xia Meng’s cheongsam, she made a special trip to Hong Kong and met the legendary Xia Meng …

        When asked if she could still see the charm of the old red star from the old lady’s face, Song Luxia shook her head and said, "She has fallen, and she doesn’t talk much, and her vitality is insufficient. People are old. " Looking at the gorgeous cheongsam in front of me, thinking about this means a long time.

SAIC, with its "falling" voice, can only count on Zhiji Automobile?

Among the large domestic automobile groups, SAIC has been among the best in terms of popularity and sales volume for a long time.

According to public information, SAIC was founded in 1984 and has been in existence for 40 years. It has a number of joint venture car companies including SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling. At the same time, there are Roewe, MG, Datong and Zhiji, which are independent automobile brands.

As early as 2006, with the hot sales of SAIC Volkswagen and SAIC-GM, the annual sales volume of SAIC has exceeded 1.22 million, becoming the sales champion of domestic car companies.

Since then, SAIC has been firmly on the throne of the sales champion of domestic car companies for 18 consecutive years.

In 2023, although the sales volume of SAIC decreased by 5.31% year-on-year, the annual cumulative sales volume still reached 5.02 million, although it successfully defended the sales champion of car companies. However, by 2023, the overall sales volume of SAIC has declined for five consecutive years.

At the same time, SAIC has not been able to successfully complete its annual sales target for six consecutive years.

In other words, SAIC, which is still strong on the surface, is actually not optimistic.

Just recently, SAIC officially released the production and sales data for September. Among them, the output was 337,000 vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 24.33%. The sales volume was 313,000 vehicles, down 35.03% year-on-year.

In terms of brand, SAIC Volkswagen (including SAIC Audi and Skoda) sold 94,000 vehicles in September, down 21.67% year-on-year; SAIC-GM (including Buick, Cadillac and Chevrolet) sold 22,000 vehicles in September, a year-on-year decrease of 77.95%.

Relatively speaking, the market performance of SAIC-GM-Wuling in September was better, with 111,000 vehicles sold, down 18.52% year-on-year.

It should be noted that SAIC-GM-Wuling is also the only brand under the SAIC Group whose sales volume exceeded 100,000 vehicles in September.

After talking about the joint venture brand, let’s look at SAIC’s own automobile brand.

SAIC passenger cars (including Roewe and MG) sold 54,000 vehicles in September, down 41.12% year-on-year; SAIC Chase sold 15,000 vehicles in September, down 20.15% year-on-year.

The new energy brand Zhiji Automobile, although the sales volume is only 0.63 million, the year-on-year growth rate is as high as 246.98%. It was the only automobile brand that grew year-on-year among the brands of SAIC in September.

So, SAIC, the sales champion of domestic car companies for many years in a row, will pin all its hopes on Zhiji Automobile in the future?

In the car quick review, it’s not that simple.

Although on the surface, Zhiji Automobile is really remarkable among all brands of SAIC. However, looking at the domestic auto market, among all the new car-making forces, the sales of Zhiji Auto are actually in the last echelon.

Similarly, taking the sales data in September as an example, the sales volume of Zhiji automobile, which has a double growth in the same period of last month, is far less than that of Ideal, Boundary and Zero Run. These three new car-making forces all sold more than 30,000 vehicles in September. The gap can’t be said to be a world apart, but it is really a bit big.

To sum up, SAIC, whose sales volume dropped in September, has to focus on Volkswagen, GM, Wuling and Roewe if it wants to maintain its position as the champion of car sales.

As for Zhiji automobile, it will take a long time to grow.

Release the Powerful Kinetic Energy of Patent Transformation (Intellectual Property News)

-Interpretation of "Special Action Plan for Patent Transformation and Application (2023-2025)" Series ①

Innovation is the first driving force for development. By September, 2023, there were 4.805 million effective invention patents in China, and the status of intellectual property power was firmly established. Not long ago, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Special Action Plan for Patent Transformation and Application (2023-2025)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), demanding that efforts be made to break through the key blocking points of patent transformation and application, and effectively turn the advantages of the patent system into powerful kinetic energy for innovation and development.

"The patent system is an innovative incentive mechanism that enables the innovation subject to recover the pre-research and development costs by giving the technical solution the exclusive right to use it. Patent industrialization is a process of transforming innovation into productivity, which contributes to the realization of patent production value and economic value. Therefore, the patent system is industry-oriented, and only in the process of industrialization can the incentive effect of the patent system be maximized. " Yi Jiming, director of Peking University International Intellectual Property Research Center, said in an interview with China Intellectual Property News that this is also the key to promoting the industrialization of a number of high-value patents proposed in the "Program".

Revitalize the existing patents in colleges and universities

Universities and scientific research institutions have a large number of patents. As of September 2023, the total number of effective invention patents owned by universities and scientific research institutions in China accounted for 25.3% of the total number of effective invention patents in China, more than a quarter. On the contrary, there is still much room for improvement in the industrialization rate of their patents. According to the Patent Investigation Report of China in 2022, in 2022, the effective patent industrialization rates of universities and scientific research units were 3.5% and 14.3% respectively. How to revitalize its existing patents and solve the problems of "unwilling to transfer", "unable to transfer" and "afraid to transfer"?

"For many colleges and universities, it is necessary to consider the issue of maintaining and increasing the value of patents. This leads to the need to go through layers of examination and approval for patent transformation, which delays the entry of products into the market and makes everyone afraid to transform patents easily. The "Proposal" lists the solution in this regard and is a "relaxation" of colleges and universities. " Wu Changzheng, director of the Office of Transfer and Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements of China University of Science and Technology, said.

The "Proposal" clearly explores a new management model for the transformation of post scientific and technological achievements in universities and scientific research institutions, improves the due diligence exemption and fault-tolerance mechanism for patent transformation, and implements the overall assessment of the preservation and appreciation of state-owned shares formed by the pricing of patents and other scientific and technological achievements by year, types and stages, instead of individual case assessment. "The overall assessment method shares the risks brought by market operation to a certain extent, so that more colleges and universities dare to carry out patent transformation by means of pricing shares." Wu Changzheng said.

How to find a matching industrialization project for a patent? The "Proposal" proposes that universities and scientific research institutions organize the screening of patents with potential market value, and rely on the national intellectual property operation service platform system for unified online registration and warehousing; Effectively use new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence to match and push enterprises according to industrial segmentation areas, and promote the docking of supply and demand. Based on enterprises’ feedback on patent industrialization prospect evaluation, patent technology improvement demand and Industry-University-Research’s willingness to cooperate, the potential of existing patent industrialization is identified, and a convertible patent resource database is constructed in layers.

"Patents are an important carrier for the transformation of innovative resources into market elements. Sorting out and revitalizing existing patents solves the problem of where patents come from." Xiao Youdan, director and researcher of the Institute of Science and Technology Development Strategy, Institute of Science and Technology Strategy Consulting, China Academy of Sciences, said that from the requirements of "Strive to achieve full coverage of untranslated effective patents in universities and scientific research institutions by the end of 2025", it can be seen that this policy will cover more untranslated patents. At the same time, the "Proposal" puts forward specific measures such as screening and registration, matching and pushing, and layered warehousing, which is expected to further clarify the "family background" of patents and promote efficient transformation.

Promote strong industrial chain and increase efficiency.

As the receiving end of patents, enterprises determine the final effect of patent industrialization.

The "Proposal" puts the focus and foothold of patent transformation and application on serving the real economy, and proposes to promote the strong chain of intellectual property rights in key industries to increase efficiency, cultivate high-value patent portfolios, build and operate patent pools in key industries, and stimulate the innovation vitality and transformation power of various subjects. At the same time, give full play to the advantages of China’s ultra-large-scale market, provide fertile soil for the application of new technologies and the development of new formats, encourage the exploration of patent open source in frontier technology fields such as future industries, and expand the scale and benefits of patent industrialization.

"The quality of patents directly affects its market value, and it is also the most concerned issue in our transformation and application." Zhang Yongqiang, head of intellectual property of Suzhou Minxin Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., said that many measures proposed in the Plan have important reference significance for the development of enterprises, such as cultivating and discovering a number of high-value patent portfolios that make up for the shortcomings of common technologies and have industry-leading advantages by focusing on enterprises in key industries and cooperating with various major innovation platforms, which is expected to help enterprises obtain more high-quality patents and obtain higher market returns.

"The realization of patent value requires the smooth flow of the whole industrial chain of’ technology research and development-achievement transformation-product application’, as well as the coordination among research and development subjects, production subjects, government departments and other service subjects. On the basis of unblocking the patent transformation chain, the "Proposal" should pay more attention to the cultivation of value increment and the strengthening of industrial chain, so as to realize the leap from value to more, from more to more refined, and from scratch to stronger industrial chain. " Yi Jiming said, specifically, China should further explore the technical value in key industries with high degree of patent industrialization, and transform the technological leading edge into international competitive advantage in a timely and efficient manner; At the same time, on the basis of respecting the choice of market players, we will guide key industries to further promote the implementation of patents, expand the scope of industrial transformation of patented technology, and reduce the transaction cost of technology, so as to fully release the patent value.

The "Proposal" requires that by 2025, the turnover of technology contracts involving patents nationwide will reach 800 billion yuan, and the output value of patent-intensive products registered and recognized will exceed one trillion yuan. In the next two years, this innovation and development momentum brought by patents will accelerate agglomeration. (Reporter CoCo WU)

Promoting the application of patent transformation and supporting all-round innovation —— Interpretation of the decision to amend the detailed rules for the implementation of the patent law

Patent system is an effective innovation incentive system. In order to ensure the effective implementation of the Patent Law after the fourth amendment and meet the needs of joining The Hague Agreement on the International Registration of Industrial Designs (1999 version), a few days ago, the State Council’s Decision on Amending the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) (hereinafter referred to as the Decision) was officially promulgated and will take effect on January 20, 2024. Experts in the industry said that with the revision of the Patent Law and the revision of the detailed rules for the implementation of the Patent Law, China’s patent system has entered the ranks of the world’s advanced patent systems at the legislative level, which will provide new assistance for promoting the transformation and application of patents and enhancing the country’s scientific and technological innovation capability.

Regulating abnormal patent applications and improving patent quality

In order to crack down on abnormal patent applications and patent abuse, Article 20 of the revised Patent Law introduces the principle of good faith, requiring that patent rights shall not be abused to harm public interests or the legitimate rights and interests of others. On this basis, the Decision makes more specific provisions, requiring patent applicants to "file all kinds of patent applications on the basis of real invention and creation activities, and shall not resort to deceit", and "the patentee shall not make a declaration of opening the license by providing false materials or concealing facts, or obtain a reduction or exemption of the annual patent fee during the implementation of the open license".

"Abnormal application is a chronic disease in the patent field." Cui Guobin, a professor at the Intellectual Property Law Research Center of Tsinghua University Law School, pointed out that the main purpose of patent applicants’ fraud and patchwork of patent applications is to use the loopholes in policies such as patent application grants from governments at all levels or tax incentives for high-tech enterprises to defraud grants, subsidies or other preferential treatment. In 2017, China National Intellectual Property Administration issued regulations to regulate abnormal patent applications. In 2018, China National Intellectual Property Administration jointly issued a memorandum of cooperation with various departments to carry out joint punishment for serious untrustworthy subjects in the field of intellectual property rights (patents), and listed abnormal patent application as the main target.

Cui Guobin pointed out that the above-mentioned regulations and memorandums mainly regulate the aspects of not reducing patent fees, publicly notifying, not subsidizing or rewarding, investigating criminal responsibility (defrauding subsidies and rewarding), and restricting the qualification to participate in certain business activities, and there is no provision for direct administrative punishment measures against applicants. The "Decision" fills this legislative vacancy, and authorizes the department responsible for patent law enforcement to warn the applicant of abnormal patent application or impose a fine of less than 100,000 yuan.

Systematically improve the level of patent protection

The duration of patent protection is one of the core contents of patent protection system. In view of the unreasonable delay in the process of patent granting, the patent term compensation system was introduced in the revision of the patent law, that is, the invention patent term compensation and the drug patent term compensation. The "Decision" added a special chapter on patent term compensation, which clearly put forward the conditions and time requirements, the calculation method of compensation period and the scope of compensation for patent term compensation, laying a normative foundation for the operation of the patent term compensation system.

Liu Yinliang, a professor at Peking University Law School, pointed out that the time limit compensation for invention patents aims to make up for the unreasonable delay in the examination procedure of invention patent applications, which can not only ensure the patentee to enjoy the patent right for enough time, but also promote the maintenance of patent examination efficiency, while the time limit compensation for drug patents helps to make up for the time occupied by the new drug listing review and approval.

Liu Yinliang explained that most kinds of product patents or method patents can be used for production and sales after the technology is mature, but drugs need to be reviewed by the drug supervision and administration department for safety and effectiveness. The inventor or patentee can only produce and sell after the management department has examined and approved it. He pointed out that the approval time can substantially shorten the protection period of drug patents and reduce the effect of drug patents to stimulate innovation, and drug inventions need patent protection because of their high investment and high risk. Therefore, the patent law compensates the patent for new drug invention for the time of review and approval by the drug supervision department, but the longest time is not more than 5 years, so as to balance public interests such as public health.

The Decision also further improved the system of handling and mediating patent disputes, extended the subjects with the right to handle and mediate patent disputes to the departments in charge of patent work of the district people’s governments of prefecture-level cities, autonomous prefectures, leagues, regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and clarified the definition standards of patent infringement disputes that have great influence throughout the country.

Promote patent creation and transformation.

In order to promote patent creation, transformation and application, the Decision has improved relevant systems in many aspects.

Tang Suqin, a professor at the School of Intellectual Property, Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out that the Science and Technology Progress Law takes "improving the ability to create, use, protect, manage and serve intellectual property rights" as an important measure to implement the national intellectual property strategy, and the Decision once again emphasizes "creating, using, protecting, managing and serving", especially putting forward new requirements for the open sharing of "patent basic data", which is helpful to

In practice, there is often information asymmetry between the patentee and the enterprise. The patentee struggles to find a commercialization path, while the enterprise suffers from the lack of applicable patents. Cui Guobin said that the revised Patent Law introduced a patent open licensing system, encouraging patentees to voluntarily announce licensing conditions, so as to facilitate implementers to obtain patent licenses. On the basis of the framework of the open licensing system outlined in the patent law, the Decision supplements more specific operational rules.

The "Decision" requires that the patentee shall specify the patent number, the name of the patentee, the license fee standard and payment method, the license period, etc. when issuing the license statement; After the two parties reach an open license, "they shall file with the patent administration department of the State Council on the basis of written documents that can prove that the license has been reached". According to this regulation, the patentee should clearly state the core terms of patent license, especially the license fee standard, in the statement of opening license.

The "Decision" also further improves the reward system for service inventions and creations, stipulates that units granted patent rights can agree with inventors and designers on the way and amount of rewards and rewards, encourages the implementation of property rights incentives, and enables inventors or designers to share innovation benefits reasonably by means of equity, options and dividends; Appropriately raise the legal reward standard after the patent right is granted (the minimum bonus for an invention patent is not less than 4,000 yuan, and the minimum bonus for a utility model patent or design patent is not less than 1,500 yuan), and adjust the legal reward standard after the transformation to give reasonable remuneration in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements.

Yesterday, Beijing Consumers Association announced the results of a comparative test on 80 sports and leisure shoes. The results showed that 16 samples did not meet the requirements of test standards or comparative test schemes. Product identification, folding resistance of finished shoes, wear resistance of outsole, rubbing color fastness of lining and inner pad, and phthalate esters are the main unqualified items. Unqualified samples involve brands such as Red Dragonfly, Decathlon and Jordan.

  The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that the samples of this comparative experiment were all purchased online, and the staff of the Consumers Association of the city bought them as ordinary consumers from four e-commerce platforms: Tmall, JD.COM, Vipshop and Pinduoduo, with a total of 80 samples of 49 brands, including 50 adult shoes and 30 children’s shoes. The unit price ranges from 59.01 yuan to 1800 yuan, and the samples cover a wide range and are representative.

  City Consumers Association said that in this comparative test, the product identification did not meet the standard requirements most, including DECATHLON/ Decathlon sports shoes, BeLLE/ Belle children’s travel shoes, NIKKO’s hiking shoes, FILA shoes (unnamed product name), HOBIBEAR’s boutique children’s shoes, Jordan’s running shoes, New.

For products with rough packaging and incomplete identification information (such as lack of enterprise name or contact information, product name, shoe size, material and three-guarantee regulations, etc.), they should be cautious in purchasing. Do not buy shoes with pungent smell, which means that there may be harmful chemicals left on the shoes. You should buy shoes without odor or obvious smell.
