Taiwan Province authorities set up snake cages to stop protesters. Taiwanese media: "Violent Xiaoying" accused violence, a joke!

On April 19th, the military and religious organizations in Taiwan launched a "siege" campaign, surrounded the "Legislative Yuan" and tried to prevent the Taiwan Province authorities from holding a meeting on annuity reform. However, under the "Legislative Yuan" surrounded by razor blades, horse refusal, snake cages and military police, the meeting was finally held. Huang Zhaoshun, a "legislator" of the Kuomintang, said that he had never held a meeting in the Iron Curtain Prison after being a "legislator" for eight times. She satirized the practice of the Taiwan authorities as "absurd and absurd again."

Moreover, Tsai Ing-wen, leader of Taiwan Province authorities, also came forward to condemn the violence of the protesters on 19th. In this regard, some Taiwanese media said that Tsai Ing-Wen will not forget it. She has a small nickname called "Violent Xiaoying". Tsai Ing-Wen once led the people to besiege the city and attacked the police with stones and other objects.

Taiwan authorities set up multi-layer horse refusal and snake cages (obstacles)

Huang Zhaoshun, the 8th legislator: Meeting in the Iron Curtain for the first time.

According to a report by Taiwanese media "United Daily News" on April 19th, Huang Zhaoshun, a legislator of the Kuomintang, said that when he was a legislator for eight times, he almost burst into tears when he saw that the Legislative Yuan was surrounded by horses, which was "absurd and absurd again".

Huang Zhaoshun questioned how many public hearings the Legislative Yuan had held. If the law can’t make people trust, how to make military officials trust is a comprehensive stigma of "public servants." Moreover, Huang Zhaoshun said that the public hearing held by the Taiwan Province authorities in Kaohsiung "even I can’t participate". Finally, she asked Su Jiaquan, the "Legislative Yuan", to remove the refusal of the "Legislative Yuan" because "there is no reason to hold a meeting in the iron curtain".

Wang Huimei, a legislator of the Kuomintang, also said that the "Legislative Yuan" is not the "Legislative Yuan of the Executive Yuan" but the "Legislative Yuan" of the whole people, "making it look like being in a prison".

Democratic Progressive Party used to regard the refusal of horses and snake cages as symbols of the "authoritarian era", but now it is the turn of the people in Lanying to say that "how high the refusal of horses is, how deep the people’s resentment is".

"Violent Xiaoying" accused violence

As for the afternoon of the 19th, Tsai Ing-Wen came forward and shouted, saying that people must not be allowed to use violence to delay the pace of reform. On the evening of 19th, Taiwanese media "United Daily News" said, "I laughed when violent Xiaoying accused me of violence!" Published an article on the topic, saying that Tsai Ing-Wen will probably never forget it. She has a little nickname called "Violent Xiaoying".

Tsai Ing-Wen

According to the article, at the "Chen Jianghui" on November 6, 2008, she launched a mass siege, attacked the police with stones and other objects, and then surrounded the Yuanshan Hotel. At night, people even threw dung and petrol bombs.

China Times News reported that more than 200 people were injured at the end of the day. Excuse me, did Tsai Ing-Wen publicly condemn himself at that time? At the same time, according to Tsai Ing-Wen’s standards on the 19th, should Tsai Ing-Wen be investigated at that time?

The United Daily News said that the sudden news that Tsai Ing-Wen condemned violence on the 19th inevitably made people laugh because it was too abrupt. If today’s push is measured by the scale of "violent Xiaoying" in that year, today’s people can be called "law-abiding", not to mention being dwarfed, I am afraid they are not even qualified as witches!

The article points out that it is understandable to condemn violence, but the definition of violence can’t always be like a trick in the belly pocket. It seems to be high and low, but it seems to be nothing. I want to go to the streets as justice, and you want to protest as violence. "Sunflower" climbed to the second floor of the forum and could read aloud: "When dictatorship becomes a reality, revolution is an obligation", but the retired military Catholic church didn’t even get a glimpse of the door of the forum.

The article said that the "bill" to be passed by the "Legislative Yuan" surrounded by resistance to horses and snake cages today is not a more arrogant dictatorship in the eyes of these protesters. But what about their revolution? The two struggles are an embarrassing contrast. Students’ struggle will completely castrate representative democracy. They are frolicking in the forum, and several "heavenly kings" such as Tsai Ing-Wen and Democratic Progressive Party are sitting at the door to protect them. However, this group of retirees were left on the street, and their livelihood in their later years was arbitrarily exploited by representative democracy. In the end, Tsai Ing-Wen was elegantly and ruthlessly crowned as an anti-reform violent person.

This so-called reform has torn the people into two camps that are hostile to each other and are ready to benefit from this confrontation. Tsai Ing-Wen wants to accomplish his best in one battle, but it casts a terrible shadow. Under the situation that justice and benefit are deprived, the energy of the rebel group will flow downward and spread throughout the whole society, making this society an avenger society, thus laying an irreparable foreshadowing for the final decline of Taiwan Province.

Medical Team of Hubei Aid in Peking University People’s Hospital: Care for every patient with "Four Hearts"

  Cctv newsOn May 1st, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on the medical rescue work of Hubei Aid Medical Team of Peking University People’s Hospital.

Wang Ling, Director of Nursing Department of Peking University People’s Hospital and Member of Expert Group of Hubei Anti-epidemic Medical Team.

  Wang Ling, director of the nursing department of Peking University People’s Hospital and a member of the expert group of the medical team for aiding Hubei to fight the epidemic, said that as a national medical team, all the patients in the intensive care unit are critically ill and critically ill in COVID-19, most of them are elderly, and most of them have some basic diseases. In addition, nurses wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles, which makes it very difficult to work and requires very high professional skills. In fact, it is necessary to take good care of these patients with tracheal intubation and tracheotomy, as well as some patients with renal replacement therapy, and to prevent complications such as infection, pressure ulcer and renal vein thrombosis, which puts forward high requirements for nurses’ professional skills.

  Wang Ling introduced that the medical team always adheres to the nursing concept of Peking University People’s Hospital in the course of work, starting with initiative, based on specialty, and finally being satisfied, being a nurse with temperature, and caring for every patient with the "four hearts" of love, patience, carefulness and responsibility. There are many patients in the ward. Because the family is sick and no one else can take care of them, the medical team regards the patients as their relatives. Some patients are in a hurry when they go to see a doctor or go to hospital, so their belongings are incomplete. Many players who have no daily necessities bring some new clothes, diapers, sanitary napkins, etc. that they bring with them and give to the patients in person, so that they can feel that we are their relatives.

  "So it is often said that the epidemic has separated people far away, but in the ward, everyone will feel that the heart is still close to the heart. We also hope that although we are separated by isolation gown and gloves, we still feel that we have temperature. Through goggles, we also hope that they can see that every time we hope that they can restore their confidence in overcoming the disease as soon as possible, so each of our nurses still maintains the belief of being a nurse with temperature at the front line and takes good care of every patient. " Wang Wei said.

Liu Anjun, a young veteran who fell on the front line of flood control: rescue and disaster relief for 11 consecutive days

  Liu Anjun and his wife volunteered to donate blood before his death. Information photo

  On the morning of July 16th, people held a short and solemn farewell ceremony for Liu Anjun, a reserve soldier of 3rd Battalion, 3rd Regiment of Anhui Army Reserve Infantry Division, who died heroically in the flood fighting. The CPC, county and county committees ratified Liu Anjun as "excellent communist party member". During the most difficult period of flood fighting and rescue, Liu Anjun fought in the front line for 11 consecutive days. On July 13th, he died of sudden cardiac death due to fatigue.

  Go to the rescue overnight

  Liu Anjun, born in 1983, joined the army in 2003 and retired in December 2015. In April this year, he was incorporated into the 2nd platoon and 4th class of the 3rd Battalion Artillery Company of the 3rd Regiment of the Anhui Army Reserve Infantry Division and became a reserve soldier.

  Since the end of June, Chaohu Lake Basin has suffered from continuous heavy rainfall. On July 1, the dike of Xiaozhu Village in Xiage Town, Chaohu City was in danger of collapse. Liu Anjun, who was participating in reserve training, was incorporated into a flood fighting and rescue commando team composed of 65 pre-appointed officers and men. At 11: 55 that night, the commando rushed to Xiage Town to rescue the dangerous embankment in the rain.

  Ren Juntao, deputy director of the armed forces department of Xiqiao Town, recalled, "It was raining cats and dogs that night. Because the embankment was narrow and the road near the dam was blocked, the vehicles carrying materials could not get in. The officers and men had to unload the flood-fighting materials from the vehicles and carry them to the dam urgently."

  At first, Liu Anjun carried the woven bag with three other soldiers. Without taking two steps, Liu Anjun said, "It’s hard for several people to carry it, or I will carry it alone." So he picked up a bundle of woven bags weighing more than 100 kilograms and ran forward. Along the way, the mud was slippery and easy to sink, and he was soaked all over, and he struggled forward with the weak light of a flashlight … … That night, Liu Anjun’s commando team worked until 4: 50 the next day, transporting more than 46 cubic meters of sand and stones, strengthening the dam and blocking the piping. Taking off his clothes, Liu Anjun’s shoulders grinded out blood stains. "Every time he always carries a little more than others and runs a few more times, but he never complains that he is tired." Liu Anjun’s teammate Li Zongbin recalled carrying a bag with him.

  At 11: 00 on July 5, the commando team received the task of repairing the collapse of two embankments in Hedong Wei, Gongqiao Town, Hexian County. Liu Anjun reinforced the dam with his teammates, and after finishing his 30-meter embankment reinforcement task with sandbags, he helped his teammates to transport sandbags until 8 pm. At 12 o’clock on July 6, the water level in Xibakou, Chaohu City rose and the dam was in a hurry. The commando team rushed to the dangerous section of the dike for 20 kilometers, and worked for nearly 10 hours. For seven days in a row, Liu Anjun and his comrades-in-arms moved to the dikes of three towns and villages overnight, and worked all the way at night, eliminating five dangerous places, carrying more than 550 cubic meters of earth and stone, building more than 350 meters of dikes and repairing more than 200 meters of collapsed dikes.

  On the 7th, the danger in Chaohu Lake Basin was brought under control, and the commandos withdrew to the camp to rest. Liu Anjun was awarded the title of "advanced individual in flood fighting and emergency rescue" by the third regiment of the reserve infantry division of the provincial military region. "Liu Anjun can bear hardships and has a very strong fighting capacity!" Ren Juntao evaluation.

  Go home to visit relatives and take the initiative to patrol the embankment.

  Liu Anjun was born in an ordinary peasant family in Shengjiakou Village, Xibu Town, Ma ‘anshan City. After 12 years as a soldier, he devoted himself to the army and went home to visit relatives less than 10 times.

  On July 8, Liu Anjun, who returned home, found the village party branch secretary to take the initiative to participate in the rescue when he learned that his hometown Wangjiawei dike was in danger of flooding for 100 meters. When the village decided to select 15 of the 122 party member in the village to form the party member Emergency Commando, he was the first to sign up. At 13: 00 that day, Liu Anjun, who had not rested for half an hour, fought with the villagers and commandos to reinforce the dam. Until 17: 00, he built a 100-meter-long and half-meter-high flood control sub-dam, which ensured the safety of the villagers in Shengjiakou Village. After completing the assault rescue mission, Liu Anjun volunteered to take part in the village’s work of strengthening, cleaning up impurities and inspecting the dikes of the 8.9-kilometer-long bank of Desheng River. During the day, he patrolled the 2-kilometer levee and patrolled the 8.9-kilometer levee in shifts at night. Liu Anjun always went to the levee in advance every day. When the situation is urgent, Liu Anjun, like other people patrolling the embankment, never leaves the embankment and eats "a hundred meals" on the levee.

  On the 12th, Liu Anjun began to check the risks as usual. He is responsible for delivering water to more than 80 migrant workers who mow grass, with a barrel of water of more than 30 kilograms. One person has carried 5 barrels of water successively, and walked for nearly 20 kilometers. The temperature of the day was as high as 35 degrees Celsius, and he waited until all the people involved in cleaning up the debris left the embankment. At noon, Liu Anjun felt unwell, and his uncle Qi Yefu advised him to go home and rest. He shook his head and said, "Nothing, I’ll check this embankment before I go back." At 11 o’clock in the evening, Liu Anjun dragged his tired body home, neglected to take a bath, and fell asleep on the sofa for fear of affecting his sleeping family. In the early morning of the 13th, when 120 emergency doctors arrived at Liu Anjun’s home, Liu Anjun’s heart had stopped beating at the age of 33.

  "He’s always at the forefront."

  "Every day after An Jun comes home from the levee, I wash and fold his dirty camouflage uniform and put it on the windowsill for him to change it. I never thought that my son would never wear my washed camouflage uniform again … …” Liu Anjun’s mother, Zhao Xianyu, was in tears.

  When his lover passed away, his wife Zhang Feng was heartbroken. "Every night when An Jun comes back, I will adjust the bath water and squeeze his toothpaste in the morning. Now, I can’t wait for An Jun to come back. "

  In the days of flood fighting and emergency rescue, Liu Anjun and his wife exchanged thoughts and reported each other’s safety by mobile phone.

  "This is his blood donation card." Zhang Feng took out a little red book from his bag, which recorded the time and blood volume of her husband Liu Anjun’s blood donation every time. Since 2004, Liu Anjun has donated 2,500 ml of blood. "He is a party member, and he is good."

  "He always maintains the style of a soldier, always rushing to the forefront, and wherever there is something, he will go!" Wang Xiaobo, a former colleague of Liu Anjun and a cadre of Xiqiao Town, recalled that on the New Year’s Eve last year, Liu Anjun stayed in the town as a member of the town militia emergency detachment. When he learned that a forest fire broke out at the foot of Dagushan Mountain on Shengshan Road, he and more than 30 members of the town militia emergency detachment rushed to the scene to put out the fire.

  "He rushed to the front." Wang Xiaobo introduced that at that time, there were many thorns on the mountain, and Liu Anjun leaned down with a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. "The fire broke out everywhere, and his camouflage suit was broken by the burning trees, Mars and thorns in generate. His clothes, face and nostrils were full of soot, and the rubber shoes under his feet gave off bursts of burnt smell. He completely ignored it and fought for four hours before ending the battle."

  "Liu Anjun is the pride of the soldiers. His 12-year military career and tempering have been deeply integrated into his blood. His fighting spirit is worth learning from all officers and men. " Dai Yong, political commissar of Anhui Military Region, said. Our reporter Zhu Sixiong Ye Qi

Is the earthquake near or far from you? Earthquakes can be made? Please keep these knowledge of earthquake science.

  Is the earthquake near or far from you? Earthquakes can be made? What is earthquake warning? On May 12, 2023, on the occasion of the 15th National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day, the reporter visited the Seismological Bureau of Jiangsu Province to learn more about artificial sources, earthquake early warning and how to judge the distance of earthquakes.

  Is the earthquake near or far from you?

  Earthquake! How to "count by fingers" whether the earthquake is near or far from you?

  During an earthquake, the distance from the epicenter to any point on the ground is called epicentral distance. An epicentre distance of 100-1000 km is a near earthquake, and a distance of more than 1000 km is a far earthquake. For example, the Wenchuan earthquake is a near earthquake for Chongqing, which is more than 300 km away. For Beijing, thousands of miles away, it is a distant earthquake.

  The source will produce two kinds of seismic waves in underground rocks: longitudinal wave and shear wave. P-wave, also known as P-wave, is the first to reach the epicenter. Its propagation speed in the earth’s crust is about 6 km/s, which makes the ground vibrate up and down, and its damage is weak. Followed by shear wave, also known as S wave, the propagation speed in the earth’s crust is about 3.5 km/s, which makes the ground shake back and forth and left and right, which is more destructive.

  Seismic waves can be recorded by seismographs. If the distance from the seismograph to the source is expressed as L, then the time to receive P wave can be expressed as L divided by the speed of P wave 6 kilometers per second, while the time to receive S wave is L divided by the speed of S wave 3.5 kilometers per second. The closer the difference obtained by subtracting the propagation time of the two waves, the closer the earthquake is; On the contrary, the farther away.

  For the public, it is easier to judge by the sense of earthquake.

  During an earthquake, we can count from the first time we feel shaking to the second time when we feel shaking stops, and count by the number of seconds. Suppose you count 20 seconds during this period, according to the formula of the time difference between longitudinal wave and shear wave, then the distance between the earthquake and you is about 160 kilometers!

  In addition, when the P-wave and the S-wave propagate to 100 kilometers, they will gradually decay, overlap and interfere with each other, and then develop another wave-surface wave. It propagates along the surface of the earth, with slow energy attenuation and long propagation period, and sometimes it can even circle the earth several times. Because the surface wave period is similar to the natural period of high-rise buildings, people living in high-rise buildings will feel the sloshing is more obvious.

  Don’t be afraid when the earthquake comes, the longitudinal wave and the transverse wave are sometimes different, so there is a way to count by pinching your fingers, and you know whether it is near or far!

  Earthquakes can be made.

  When it comes to earthquakes, many people will turn pale. However, apart from the disaster, we can also explore the interior of the earth through earthquakes: because seismic waves are the only waves that can penetrate deep into the earth.

  However, due to the limited number of natural earthquakes, its location accuracy is not high, and the measurement of underground medium changes using natural sources is limited to some extent. Therefore, the use of artificial seismic sources to actively emit seismic waves into the ground has become the main means to monitor the changes of underground media.

  In 1968, the air gun source was born. Its principle is to release high-pressure air in the water body, causing the vibration of the limited water body, and the huge water body knocks on the ground to excite the seismic wave that propagates outward.

  However, air gun sources are widely used in the ocean and have never been used on land.

  Since 1995, scientists have tested almost all artificial seismic sources that can generate seismic waves on land, including explosives, vibroseis, falling weights, train and subway vibrations, and found that they are not ideal artificial seismic sources.

  In the 21st century, Chinese scientists began to try to introduce air gun sources into land detection, and developed the data processing technology of "micro-excitation", that is, the propagation distance of land bubble sources was greatly increased by superposition, thus further expanding the detection range.

  Since 2006, China has built underwater air gun launchers in Urumqi, Xinjiang, Dali, Yunnan, Xiamen, Fujian, Qilian Mountain, Gansu and Baoji, Shaanxi. If more than a dozen air gun transmitting stations are set up in China to excite seismic waves, long-term continuous large-scale coverage exploration can be carried out in Chinese mainland, and regional large-scale structural exploration and seismic risk monitoring in tectonic active areas can be carried out.

  However, when there is no suitable water body, the artificial source can also be an artificial air gun source made of compressed natural gas (methane). Its principle is that when methane and oxygen are mixed and ignited in a closed container, a detonation reaction can occur, and the high-pressure gas generated by detonation instantly releases the generated seismic wave. Its advantages are safety, environmental protection and high efficiency, and it can be used as a "small beacon" in high-precision shallow underground space exploration and development, and can be used in urban underground space development, site evaluation, seismic activity zone investigation, deep prospecting and so on.

  The "bright light" has already risen, but the road is long and Xiu Yuan. In the future, scientists in China will continue to explore and write the research results of "There is a big dipper in the sky and a bright light in the ground" on the land of the motherland, slowly unveiling the mystery of the earth.

  Aspects of earthquake early warning

  How is earthquake early warning achieved?

  There are two kinds of body waves during earthquakes: longitudinal waves and shear waves. Longitudinal waves run fast and have limited destructive power. Shear waves are slow and destructive.

  After the earthquake, several early warning stations closest to the epicenter will receive p-wave seismic signals one after another, which will trigger the rapid judgment and measurement system of earthquake parameters, quickly measure the time, location, source type and magnitude of the earthquake, predict the intensity of ground movement in the relevant areas, and then use the principle that the speed of electromagnetic waves is much faster than that of seismic waves to send early warning information to different areas before the arrival of destructive shear waves.

  The emergency time obtained by early warning can be used for escape and emergency treatment, effectively reducing casualties and disaster losses.

  However, earthquake early warning also has shortcomings.

  Because the information output depends on the limited recorded signals of observation stations near the epicenter, there are some limitations in earthquake early warning, such as early warning blind area, deviation and false alarm.

  The early warning blind zone means that it takes a certain time for the station to receive the seismic wave and process the information. By the time the early warning information is sent out, the destructive seismic wave has spread for 20 to 30 kilometers. This makes it basically impossible to give an early warning within this radius, and it is precisely in this area that the ground movement is the strongest and the damage is the most serious.

  Take the Wenchuan earthquake as an example, Yingxiu Town, which is less than 20 kilometers away from the epicenter, is in the early warning blind zone.

  If there are few seismic stations in the epicenter and the recorded signals are incomplete, the early warning results may be biased. In practice, it is necessary to revise the results through continuous reporting.

  When a seismic station is disturbed by non-seismic signals, it may also trigger an early warning system and issue an error message. In 2016, Japan misreported strong earthquakes due to lightning interference at individual seismic stations, resulting in short-term suspension of some rail transit.

  Earthquake early warning is the most effective technical means to reduce disasters. With the implementation of the national earthquake intensity quick report and early warning project, the second-order earthquake early warning capability has been initially formed in some areas of China.

Deeply understand the rich connotation of the supreme leader’s cultural thought

  Culture is related to the country’s foundation and the country’s luck. If the culture is prosperous, the country will prosper, and if the culture is strong, the nation will be strong. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has focused on publicizing the new situation, new situations and new problems in the ideological and cultural field, made a series of important expositions and instructions from a global and strategic perspective, and guided the propaganda of ideological and cultural work in the new era to achieve historic achievements, forming the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader. This important thought profoundly answers the fundamental questions such as what flag to hold, what road to take, what principles to adhere to and what goals to achieve in China’s cultural construction in the new era. It is a theoretical summary of the practical experience of the Party’s leadership cultural construction in the new era, which enriches and develops Marxist cultural theory, constitutes the cultural chapter of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and marks that our Party’s understanding of the laws of cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics has reached a new height. This important thought is very rich in connotation and profound in exposition, and it is clear and practical. We should deeply grasp the major innovative ideas, scientific methodology and important strategic deployment contained in it, and deeply understand its core essence.

  Deeply understand and uphold the party’s cultural leadership. Upholding the party’s cultural leadership is a major event related to the future and destiny of the party and the country. Looking back on the history of the Party for more than 100 years, whether it was the establishment of the League of Chinese Left-wing Writers in the revolutionary war years, the convening of the Yan ‘an Forum on Literature and Art, the policy of "letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend" put forward after the founding of New China, and the orientation of "serving the people and socialism" put forward after the reform and opening up, all these reflected our party’s emphasis on upholding cultural leadership. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has attended the National Conference on Propaganda and Ideological Work twice, presided over and delivered a series of important speeches on literary and artistic work, the Party’s news and public opinion work, network security and informatization work, philosophy and social science work, ideological and political work in colleges and universities, and cultural inheritance and development, with a clear-cut stand to uphold and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership over propaganda and ideological and cultural work and promote the construction of propaganda and ideological culture to open a new chapter. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thoughts of the Supreme Leader, we must firmly uphold the Party’s cultural leadership, unswervingly implement a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, and effectively turn our Party’s leadership advantage into a powerful driving force to create new glories of socialist culture.

  Deeply understand and promote the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. World history shows that the advancement of a country’s modernization requires the enhancement of both material strength and spiritual strength. Standing on the philosophical height of scientifically grasping the relationship between economic base and superstructure, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important expositions such as "Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a socialism with all-round development of material civilization and spiritual civilization" and "Chinese-style modernization is a modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated", which provided scientific guidance for adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics and promoting and expanding Chinese-style modernization in the new era. In the new era, our party vigorously promotes the spiritual pedigree of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, develops advanced socialist culture, carries forward revolutionary culture, inherits Chinese excellent traditional culture, effectively resists money worship, hedonism, extreme individualism and historical nihilism, and provides a more active and powerful spiritual force for the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader, we must make overall plans for the construction of material civilization and spiritual civilization, persist in taking economic construction as the center, and at the same time put spiritual civilization construction in a more important position, improve the civilization level of the whole society, make overall plans to promote the cultivation, practice and creation of civilization, and promote the formation of ideas, mental outlook, civilized fashion and behavioral norms that meet the requirements of the new era, so as to ensure the stability and far-reaching great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Deeply understand the fundamental requirements of "two combinations". General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly summed up the historical experience of the modernization of Marxism in China, profoundly grasped the development law of Chinese civilization, creatively put forward and systematically expounded "persisting in combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and with the excellent traditional Chinese culture", which revealed the only way to open up and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics on the deep foundation of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, and also revealed the only way for the Party to promote theoretical innovation and cultural prosperity. In the new era, our Party has been constantly opening up a new realm of China-ization of Marxism by adhering to the application of "two combinations", and Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era is a shining example of "two combinations". To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader, we must adhere to Marxism, the foundation of building the Party and rejuvenating the country, adhere to the development of Marxism rooted in the fertile soil of our country’s history and culture, use Marxism to activate the outstanding factors with vitality in China’s excellent traditional culture and endow them with new connotation of the times, inject the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation into Marxism at a deeper level, effectively link the essence of Marxist thought with the essence of China’s excellent traditional culture, fuse them into new theoretical advantages, and constantly climb new ideological peaks.

  Deeply understand and undertake the new cultural mission. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has a high degree of cultural consciousness. Since its establishment, it has taken the initiative to undertake the mission of building a national, scientific and popular new culture of the Chinese nation and devoted itself to building a socialist China with prosperous culture and civilization. In the new era, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader positioned the Party’s cultural responsibility with a broad global vision and profound historical insights, and put forward the new cultural mission of "continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point", which pointed out the way forward for us to enhance the historical consciousness of civilization inheritance and cultural innovation, better build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation and enrich and develop new forms of human civilization. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thoughts of the supreme leader, we must consciously shoulder the new cultural mission, speed up the construction of a socialist cultural power that matches China’s profound cultural heritage and rich cultural resources, adapts to the overall layout and strategic layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause in the new era, and undertakes the construction of a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power, so as to provide ideological guarantee, public opinion support, spiritual motivation and cultural conditions for constantly creating a new situation in the cause of the party and the state.

  Deeply understand the firm cultural self-confidence. Cultural self-confidence is a more basic, broader and deeper self-confidence, and it is the most basic, deepest and most lasting force in the development of a country and a nation. Only a nation with cultural self-confidence can stand, stand steady and go far, and a culture with subjectivity can lead, cohere, shape and radiate. Strengthening cultural self-confidence is a major issue concerning the rise and fall of the national movement, cultural security and the independence of the national spirit, which embodies our party’s high consciousness of consolidating cultural subjectivity. For China, a big cultural country with a long history, to successfully realize modernization, we must constantly consolidate cultural subjectivity, and guarantee and support modernization with cultural self-confidence and spiritual independence. In the new era, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made important instructions to carry forward Chinese excellent traditional culture, and has repeatedly summarized Chinese excellent traditional culture, pointing out the direction for us to strengthen cultural self-confidence and maintain cultural subjectivity. Under the guidance of Marxism, our Party has comprehensively excavated the treasure house of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, carried out the inheritance and development project of Chinese excellent traditional culture, built the China National Edition Pavilion and other landmark cultural projects, profoundly revealed the unique spiritual identity of Chinese culture, and made the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation more distinct. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thoughts of the supreme leader, we must always be firm in historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence, persist in making the past serve the present, bring forth the new, adhere to the Chinese cultural position, and inherit Chinese cultural genes.Constantly transform cultural self-confidence into the determination to stick to the right path, the motivation to forge ahead and the vitality of reform and innovation in the process of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

  Deeply understand, cultivate and practice the socialist core values. Core values are the deepest elements that determine the nature and direction of culture. Cultivating and carrying forward the socialist core values is the basic project to gather the spirit and strengthen the foundation. In the new era, "advocating socialist core values" was written into the Constitution, the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC issued the Opinions on Cultivating and Practicing Socialist Core Values, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Implementation Outline of Citizen Moral Construction in the New Era and other guiding documents, which widely promoted socialist core values, promoted the normalization and institutionalization of ideal and belief education, improved the ideological and political work system, and established and improved the honor recognition system for the party and the state. To celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the 70th anniversary of the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC), the theme of the whole society is getting higher and higher, and the positive energy atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. To thoroughly study and understand the supreme leader’s cultural thought, we must give full play to the leading role of socialist core values, strengthen education guidance, public opinion propaganda, cultural edification, practice cultivation and system guarantee, and integrate socialist core values into the rule of law, social development and daily life.

  Deeply understand and master the leading power of public opinion under the condition of informationization and widely gather social consensus. In today’s world, information technology is changing with each passing day, and digitalization, networking and intelligence are developing in depth. Mastering the dominance of public opinion under the condition of informationization has become an inevitable requirement for consolidating and expanding mainstream ideology and culture. In the new era, in response to the new situation and new tasks, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, we hold high the main theme, invigorate the spirit, coordinate online and offline, publicize internally and externally, and consolidate and expand the mainstream ideological public opinion in the new era. The guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field has been continuously consolidated, the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people throughout the country has been continuously consolidated, the party’s innovative theory has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the credibility of the party and the government has been continuously enhanced, and the cohesion and centripetal force of the whole society have been greatly enhanced. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thoughts of the supreme leader, we must fully implement the responsibility system for ideological work, strengthen the management of network society according to law, promote the integration and development of traditional media and emerging media, strengthen the construction of all-media communication system, shape a new pattern of mainstream public opinion, and form concentric circles online and offline.

  Deeply understand the people-centered work orientation. People-centered work orientation is a clear stand of our party in leading and promoting cultural construction, a concrete embodiment of adhering to the people-centered development thought in propagating ideological and cultural undertakings, and fully demonstrates the nature, purpose and initial mission of our party. In the new era, our party has promoted the all-round development of cultural undertakings and cultural industries. the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has issued important documents such as Opinions on Prospering and Developing Socialist Literature and Art, and constantly improved the public cultural service system, which has greatly enriched the people’s spiritual and cultural life. All public libraries, cultural centers, comprehensive cultural stations, art galleries and more than 90% museums in China are open for free, and going to libraries, museums and science and technology museums has become an important way of life for the broad masses of the people. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thoughts of the Supreme Leader, we must adhere to the people-centered work orientation, respect the people’s dominant position, safeguard the people’s cultural rights and interests, improve the level of public cultural services and the quality of cultural industry development, continuously meet the people’s diverse and multifaceted spiritual and cultural needs with high-quality cultural supply, and continuously enhance the people’s sense of cultural acquisition and happiness.

  Deeply understand the protection of historical and cultural heritage. Historical and cultural heritage carries the genes and blood of the Chinese nation, and protecting historical and cultural heritage is an important basis for promoting cultural inheritance and development. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attached great importance to the protection of historical and cultural heritage and made important instructions: "Carefully protect the cultural heritage left by our ancestors so that the historical context can be passed down better." In the new era, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader cares about and promotes the protection and utilization of historical and cultural heritage from the strategic perspective of keeping the cultural roots and keeping the soul of the nation. He has twice presided over the collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee on archaeological work, made more than 170 instructions on cultural relics, archaeology and intangible heritage, personally investigated and inspected more than 100 historical and cultural heritage sites, and repeatedly urged to protect cultural heritage. Under the personal guidance and promotion of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, China’s cultural heritage resources have been gradually clarified, and the awareness of cultural relics protection in the whole society has been significantly enhanced. The Chinese civilization tracing project, the Chinese ancient books protection plan, and the China traditional craft revitalization plan have been thoroughly implemented, and the protection and utilization of cultural heritage has continuously reached a new level. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thoughts of the Supreme Leader, we must adhere to the cultural relics work policy of "protection first, strengthening management, tapping value, effective utilization and making cultural relics alive", constantly improve the system of historical cultural relics protection, strengthen systematic protection and overall protection, and comprehensively improve the level of cultural relics protection and utilization, so that the Chinese context can last for a long time and civilization can be passed down from generation to generation.

  Deeply understand and construct China’s discourse and China’s narrative system. The development of a big country is not only the development of hard power, but also the improvement of soft power. Since the reform and opening up, we have made remarkable development achievements, and our international status and influence have been greatly enhanced. However, to some extent, we still face the problems of "unclear rationality", "unable to spread what we have said" and "unable to spread it" in the international public opinion field. In the new era, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has keenly grasped the changes of the world, the times and history, made an all-round top-level design for building China’s independent knowledge system and improving the efficiency of international communication, and promoted the creation of an international communication system with distinctive China characteristics, which significantly improved China’s international discourse power and created a favorable external environment for reform, development and stability. From explaining China’s road and constructing China Theory, to telling China’s story and spreading China’s voice well, and then to sharing China’s experience and contributing China’s wisdom, China’s international image "self-shaping" ability has been significantly enhanced today, and its position in the global discourse pattern is changing from "passive" to "active". More and more people in the world view China rationally and objectively. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thought of the supreme leader, we must speed up the construction of China’s discourse and China’s narrative system, strengthen the construction of international communication ability, and be good at explaining China theory with China’s story and China’s practice with China’s discourse.Turn our institutional advantages and development advantages into discourse advantages, and strive to form an international discourse right that matches China’s comprehensive national strength and international status.

  Deeply understand and promote the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations. Civilizations are colorful because of exchanges, and they are enriched because of mutual learning. Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are an important driving force for the progress of human civilization and the peaceful development of the world. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a party for the happiness of the people of China, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the progress of mankind, and the great harmony of the world. It has always stood on the right side of history and the progress of human civilization. In the new era, from the perspective of human history, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader expounded a series of China positions and China plans on the development and exchange of global culture and civilization on several major international occasions, and put forward a series of major ideas such as building a community of human destiny and building a "Belt and Road" initiative, a global development initiative, a global security initiative, and a global civilization initiative, which transcended the narrowness of power politics, clash of civilizations, and jungle law thinking in traditional international relations. From the "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum to the Asian Civilization Dialogue Conference, and then to the high-level dialogue meeting between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the world’s political parties, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people in the new era have injected strong impetus into promoting the progress of human civilization with practical actions. The big era needs a big pattern, and the big pattern calls for a big mind. To thoroughly study and understand the cultural thoughts of the supreme leader, we must always keep in mind the world, absorb all the outstanding achievements of human civilization with an eclectic attitude, and better promote Chinese culture to go abroad with a confident and open attitude.Make due contributions to solving the common problems of mankind and promoting the building of a community of human destiny.

  The supreme leader’s cultural thought is lofty and profound, which embodies the dialectical unity of theory and practice, epistemology and methodology, and provides a powerful ideological weapon and scientific action guide for doing a good job in propagating ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey and shouldering a new cultural mission. The Central Party School (National School of Administration) should continue to consciously practice its initial mission of "cultivating talents and making suggestions for the party", give full play to the role of the main position of cadre education and training, and combine the implementation of the Regulations on Cadre Education and Training and the National Cadre Education and Training Plan (2023— In 2027), efforts were made to fully and accurately explain the rich connotation and core essence of the supreme leader’s cultural thought, and to promote the broad masses of party member cadres to deeply understand the positions, viewpoints and methods contained therein and systematically grasp their strategic deployment and practical requirements.

Give full play to the role of an important platform for external communication, tell the stories of China and the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the new era, and make due contributions to comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation.

Analysis on the applicable points of invalid contract handling rules in Civil Code

According to Article 157 of the Civil Code, the consequences of an invalid contract include the return of property, compensation for discount and compensation for losses. Today, we reprint the article "Analysis on the Application Points of the Handling Rules of Invalid Contracts in the Civil Code" published by WeChat official account of the Supreme People’s Court Judicial Case Research Institute, and discuss the general handling rules of invalid contracts with you.

1. Although an invalid contract does not produce the legal effect expected by the parties, it does not mean that it has no legal consequences.

analysis

A contract that is confirmed invalid or cancelled shall be invalid from the beginning. The so-called invalidity means that the actor’s expression of will is not recognized by law, and the contents of his rights and obligations of establishing, changing and terminating creditor’s rights and debts do not produce the legal effects expected by the parties. However, invalidity does not mean that there are no legal consequences. The so-called legal consequences refer to the obligation to return property, the liability for compensation for losses and other consequences that the parties to an invalid or revocable contract should bear according to law based on the legal facts (events) of invalid or revoked behavior.

2. Consequences of invalid contract include property return, discount compensation and compensation for losses.

analysis

According to Article 157 of the Civil Code, the consequences of an invalid contract include the return of property, compensation for discount and compensation for losses. Return of property, that is, after the contract is confirmed to be invalid, one party has no basis for legal possession of the property obtained, and the property obtained on this basis should be returned to the other party, and the other party has the right to claim for return of the delivered property. The return of property is mainly applicable to the actual performance of the contract. If the contract has not been performed or the property has not been delivered, this method is not applicable. Discount compensation, that is, after the contract is confirmed invalid, the return of property is not realistic or necessary or the cost of returning property is too high, and the property relationship can be restored to its original state by means of discount compensation. Compensation for losses, that is, after the contract is confirmed to be invalid, if the contract is invalid, the party at fault shall compensate the other party for the losses thus suffered; If all parties are at fault, they shall bear their respective responsibilities.

3. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the responsibilities of the parties shall be reasonably determined according to the principle of good faith, and the dishonest parties shall not benefit from the invalidity of the contract.

analysis

When determining the scope of property return or discount compensation after the contract is invalid, it should be reasonably distributed among the parties according to the requirements of the principle of good faith, so that the dishonest parties can not benefit from the invalidation of the contract. The core point is that when the contract is invalid, the liability of the parties for contracting fault should not exceed the interests of contract performance. For example, according to Article 793 of the Civil Code, the construction contract of a construction project is invalid. If the construction project has passed the completion acceptance, the contractor can be compensated at a discount according to the contract, but unless a new project beyond the contract is added, it should generally not exceed the project payment agreed in the contract. In practice, there are some similar situations. For example, in the case of housing price increase, developers take the initiative to request to confirm the invalidity of the contract on the grounds that they have not obtained a valid pre-sale permit, trying to benefit from the invalidity of the contract; For another example, in the case that small property houses can get huge compensation due to expropriation, some sellers bring a lawsuit to the court to request that the sale of small property houses be invalid, with the aim of trying to benefit by confirming that the contract is invalid. For this dishonest practice, it is necessary to balance the interests of the parties through reasonable distribution of interests, which not only determines the contract to be invalid according to law, but also maintains and promotes the construction of an honest society.

4. Whether the parties to an invalid contract should return property to each other sometimes depends on the specific case, the specific contract type and the specific subject matter.

analysis

Article 59 of the original Contract Law stipulates: "If the parties collude maliciously and harm the interests of the state, the collective or the third party, the property thus obtained shall be owned by the state or returned to the collective or the third party." In other words, the malicious offender has no right to claim the return of property, and the corresponding property should be owned by the state or returned to the collective or the third party. The relevant judicial interpretations in the Supreme People’s Court have retained the spirit of this provision. For example, Article 20 of the Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Disputes over Foreign-invested Enterprises stipulates: "If the contract between the actual investor and the nominal shareholder of a foreign-invested enterprise is deemed invalid due to malicious collusion, which harms the interests of the state, the collective or the third party, the people’s court shall confiscate the property thus obtained or return it to the collective or the third party."

5. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, it shall be judged whether the parties shall bear the responsibility of property return according to the nature of the subject matter of the contract and the request of the parties.

analysis

After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the existence of the original object of the contract is the prerequisite for the parties to assume the responsibility of returning the property. If the subject matter is a specific object, if the original object exists, it must be returned; If the original does not exist, it should compensate the corresponding price or kind, but it cannot be forced to return the original, because it is impossible at this time. If the subject matter of the contract is a kind of thing, if the subject matter of the contract has been lost or consumed by the wrong party, the wrong party may also take measures to compensate for the loss without returning the same kind of subject matter, but if the non-wrong party insists on returning the subject matter, the wrong party must return it, and the losses (such as price difference) and various expenses caused by it shall be borne by the wrong party.

6. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the parties shall bear the responsibility for property return, and the principle of fault liability shall not apply.

analysis

After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the parties bear the responsibility for property return, which is not an economic sanction and is not punitive, so the principle of fault liability cannot be applied. Regardless of whether the parties are at fault in concluding the contract, the property acquired and occupied according to the invalid contract should be returned to the other party because there is no legal basis.

7. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the factors of property appreciation or depreciation should be fully considered when determining the return of property.

analysis

After the bilateral contract is invalid, both parties shall return the property acquired by the contract to each other. If the equity, house and other property that should be returned increase or decrease in value relative to the contract price, the people’s court should comprehensively consider the correlation between market factors, the transferee’s operation or attachment and the increase or decrease in value of the property, and rationally allocate or share it among the parties to avoid one party benefiting from the invalidity of the contract. In a word, in the case of property appreciation or depreciation, how to distribute or share the losses reasonably among the parties? First, we should consider market factors and distribute the appreciation or depreciation part reasonably among the parties. The so-called reasonable distribution is to consider the degree of their respective faults in the invalidity of the contract and whether there are factors that benefit from the invalidity of the contract. For the party who tries to benefit from the invalid contract system, you can consider less points or even no points. Second, we should consider the relationship between the transferee’s operation or attachment behavior and the appreciation and depreciation of property. Business behavior is mainly applicable to the occasion of equity return, while attachment behavior is mainly but not limited to the occasion of real estate return. For example, if the buyer of a house transforms the house after buying the house, which leads to the appreciation of the house, he should first consider the part of its attachment behavior on the appreciation of the house, and then consider the influence of market factors. Of course, if the equity, houses, etc. depreciate, the losses should be shared between the two parties according to the same rules.

8. When both parties to an invalid contract have the obligation to return it, unless otherwise agreed, both parties shall return it at the same time.

analysis

In a bilateral contract, each party’s respective payment constitutes a treatment payment. Even if the contract is invalid, the obligations of both parties to return the subject matter and the price still constitute payment. If the parties have not made a special agreement on the return, they should perform it at the same time, that is, before one party makes payment, the other party can refuse the other party’s request for return. This is also the legal basis that even the transferor who has the right to claim the return of the original can not rule out the execution of the general creditor before returning the price.

9. The scope of property returned by an invalid contract includes fruits.

analysis

There are theoretical differences on whether the scope of returning property to an invalid contract includes fruits. One view is that whether the possessor is in good faith or bad faith should be distinguished: the possessor is a bona fide possessor who is not at fault for the invalidity of the contract and does not need to return the fruits; On the other hand, if it is at fault for the invalidity of the contract, it belongs to the malicious possessor and should return the fruits. Generally speaking, whether it is bona fide possession or malicious possession, it is unauthorized possession. Since it has no right to possess, no matter whether it is a bona fide possessor or a malicious possessor, it has no right to obtain the fruits. In other words, the scope of returning property should include fruits. The difference is that bona fide possession is different from malicious possession after all. In order to distinguish it from malicious possession, it can request the obligee to pay the necessary expenses for maintaining the real estate or chattel. Article 460th of the Civil Code stipulates: "If the real estate or chattel is occupied by the possessor, the obligee may request the return of the original property and its fruits; However, the necessary expenses incurred by the bona fide possessor for maintaining the immovable property or movable property shall be paid. " It is this spirit that is embodied.

10. Whether an invalid contract should return interest should be specifically determined according to different contract types.

analysis

Money often appears in the form of consideration in bilateral contracts such as buying, selling and leasing other than loan contracts. If such a contract is invalid, the possession of the subject matter by the buyer and lessee from the conclusion of the contract to the return of the subject matter to the transferor and lessor constitutes unauthorized possession, and in theory, the use fee should be paid to the transferor and lessor. On the contrary, the transferor and lessor shall also pay the capital occupation fee to the buyer and lessee. The use fee and the capital occupation fee completely meet the conditions of legal offset. Once offset, their respective debts will be eliminated. Therefore, before one party returns the original, the other party only has to pay the principal, without paying interest. However, if a contract specifically targeting money is invalid, such as a loan contract, the occupier of funds shall pay interest in principle. There are different views on whether to pay according to the loan interest rate or the deposit interest rate. Generally speaking, the loan interest rate is higher than the deposit interest rate, so it is obviously more beneficial to the obligee to refer to the loan interest rate than to refer to the deposit. The reasoning basis of referring to the loan interest rate is that one party needs to borrow from the bank to obtain the same funds, so it should refer to the loan interest rate. The reasoning basis of referring to the deposit interest rate is that the funder does not need to borrow money from the bank, so the loss is only the deposit interest in the same period. We believe that in commercial trials, in principle, payment should be made with reference to the loan interest rate. It should be noted that in order to deepen the interest rate marketization reform, since August 20, 2019, the People’s Bank of China has authorized the National Interbank Funding Center to announce the loan market quotation rate (LPR) at 9: 30 on the 20th of each month (postponed in case of holidays).And canceled the benchmark loan rate of the People’s Bank of China. In this case, the interest in the future shall be based on the quoted interest rate of the loan market published by the National Interbank Funding Center.

11. The claim for property return in case of invalid contract can generally resist the execution of money creditors, but it is not the case when both parties of invalid contract have mutual obligation to return.

analysis

According to the provisions of Article 124 of Minutes of the Ninth People’s Meeting, in the execution of monetary creditor’s rights, if the effective judgment on the basis of which the outsider raises the objection to execution determines that the contract (such as the sales contract) for the purpose of transferring ownership is invalid, and then orders the outsider to return the subject matter of execution, at this time, the outsider enjoys the right of claim for return in the nature of real right, which can exclude the execution of monetary creditor’s rights. However, in the case that the bilateral contract is invalid, both parties are obligated to return the money. If the outsider is allowed to exclude the execution of the monetary creditor’s rights, it will make the application executor unable to execute both the property under the name of the person subjected to execution and the money that should have been returned to the person subjected to execution, which is obviously unfair. In order to balance the interests of all parties, the enforcement of ordinary creditors can only be ruled out if the outsider has returned the price. On the other hand, if the outsider fails to return the price, execution cannot be ruled out.

12, the property return claim under the condition of invalid contract, its nature is the property right to return the original claim, rather than the creditor’s right to claim unjust enrichment.

analysis

In the case that a bilateral contract, such as a house sales contract, is invalid, the buyer needs to return the house to the seller, and the seller needs to return the price to the buyer. The so-called claim for property return here mainly refers to the seller’s right to request the buyer to return the house. Regarding the nature of property return, there are two viewpoints: the claim of unjust enrichment in the nature of creditor’s rights and the claim of original property in the nature of real rights. Generally speaking, after the contract is invalid or revoked, the change of property right based on the contract also loses its foundation, which naturally produces the effect of property right rotation, and the transferor enjoys the right to claim the original property in the nature of property right claim. Only when the original cannot be returned or there is no need to return it, the right of claim for returning the original can be transformed into the right of claim for unjust enrichment. China’s legislation does not adopt the theory of real right act, and it does not recognize the independence and non-causation of real right act, so this view is generally said in academic circles.

13. The limitation of action does not apply to the claim for the return of property in the case of invalid contract.

analysis

Whether the limitation of action applies to the right of claim for returning property depends on the identification of its nature, that is, whether it is the right of claim for unjust enrichment or the right of claim for real right. As mentioned above, according to the general theory of academic circles, the property return claim in the case of invalid contract is the property return claim in the nature of property right, not the unjust enrichment claim in the nature of creditor’s rights. As a kind of power of real right, the claim of real right does not apply to the limitation of action.

14. In an invalid contract, the discount compensation is a substitute for the return of property, and the two can only be exercised either way, not at the same time.

analysis

The consequences of an invalid contract include the return of property, discount compensation and compensation for losses. Among them, the return of property belongs to the claim of real right in nature, and when the property cannot be returned or the parties think it is unnecessary to return it, it will be converted into the discount compensation of the claim of unjust enrichment. It can be seen that the discount compensation is a substitute for the return of property, and the two can only be exercised alternatively, not at the same time.

15, invalid contract does not exist the obligee must first exercise the right to return the original claim, only in the case of unable to exercise can request discount compensation.

analysis

The return of property and discount compensation are the legal consequences of invalid contracts. In the case that the contract is invalid, even if the original thing exists and the obligee thinks it is unnecessary to return the original thing, he can also request the discount compensation, and it is not necessary to request the return of the original thing. After all, it is the freedom, not the obligation, of the obligee to choose which right to exercise. In this regard, there is no problem that the obligee must first exercise the right to claim the return of the original property, and only when he cannot exercise it can he request the discount compensation.

16, invalid contract discount compensation rules don’t consider goodwill, just when distributing the benefits or losses to consider the fault or goodwill of the parties.

analysis

Although the discount compensation for invalid contracts belongs to unjust enrichment in nature, it is still different from the traditional unjust enrichment system in civil law. The traditional unjust enrichment system in civil law distinguishes between good faith and bad faith and applies different handling rules. On the one hand, when the existing interests do not exist, the bona fide parties are not responsible for the return, and the malicious parties should still be responsible for the return. On the other hand, the malicious parties not only need to return the existing interests, but also need to pay the interests generated by the existing interests. If the losses exceed the interests, they will also be liable for damages. The discount compensation rule basically does not consider goodwill and malice, but only considers the fault or goodwill of the parties when distributing benefits or losses, but it is also significantly different from goodwill and malice in unjust enrichment occasions. The so-called goodwill and malice in the return of unjust enrichment refers to whether you know the fact that you can’t get benefits, while the discount compensation should consider whether the parties are at fault for the invalidity of the contract and whether they have the motivation to benefit from the invalidity of the contract.

17. The discount compensation for an invalid contract shall be based on the transfer amount agreed in the contract, and the part above or below the transfer amount shall be fairly distributed or shared in combination with the loss or resale income of the subject matter.

analysis

Discount compensation is the right of claim for the return of unjust enrichment enjoyed by the parties when the original cannot be returned due to factual or legal reasons. On the issue of discount compensation, the transfer money agreed in the contract between the parties should be used as the basis of discount compensation, and then compared with the value compensation obtained when the subject matter is lost or the price available at the time of resale. The part higher or lower than the transfer money should be distributed or shared among the parties according to certain rules, so as to realize the balance of interests between the parties. In the case of loss of the subject matter, if the parties have obtained insurance money, compensation or compensation, they shall return it to the assignor. If the compensation is lower than the transfer payment, the difference between the transfer payment and the compensation shall be reasonably shared among the parties; If there is no compensation, the losses shall be shared between the two parties within the limit of the total transfer amount. In the case that the subject matter is resold to others, the consideration obtained at the time of resale belongs to the interests obtained by the parties because of the subject matter, and the part of the benefits that is higher or lower than the transfer amount agreed in the contract should also be reasonably distributed or shared among the parties.

18. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, if the property acquired by the parties does not meet the conditions for return or in order to prevent the loss from expanding, the parties may not return it, but they should make compensation at a discount.

analysis

It is a general principle that the property acquired by the parties should be returned after the contract is confirmed to be invalid. If, after the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the property acquired by the parties does not meet the conditions for return, such as contracts for construction projects and contracting, or part or all of the subject matter of the contract has been sold, used or damaged, lost or possessed by a third party in good faith, the parties may not return it at this time. In addition, although some properties have the conditions for return, they should not be returned in order to prevent the expansion of losses. For example, goods that are not in the local area should be repackaged and consigned in other places, which will increase the cost and loss. Generally, it is not appropriate to return the original goods, but should be treated on the spot and compensated at a discount. However, if the innocent party insists on the return of the subject matter that is a specific object, it shall be an exception, and the expenses shall be borne by the innocent party.

19. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the property acquired by the party concerned has been acquired by a third party in good faith, and the original is irreplaceable. The party concerned may not return it, but it shall be compensated at a discount according to the current market price of the property.

analysis

After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, whether the parties should return the acquired property is limited by the bona fide acquisition system. That is, when one party transfers the property to a third party, and the third party has no fault subjectively when obtaining the property, and does not know or should not know that the contract between the party and the other party is invalid or cancelled, the third party in good faith can not return the original, and the original is irreplaceable. At this time, the party cannot return the property, and must compensate the other party at the current market price of the property.

20. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the property acquired by the parties has been lost, which makes it impossible or unnecessary to return it, and the original is irreplaceable. The parties may not return it, but they should make compensation at a discount.

analysis

After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the property acquired by the parties has been lost, which makes it impossible to return the original, and the original is irreplaceable. In this case, the party who obtains the property shall make discount compensation according to the current market price of the original. There is no need to return it, mainly including the following two situations: (1) If the property accepted by the parties is a service or interest and cannot be restored to its original state in nature, it will be returned in money at the price stipulated by the state at that time; If there is no price stipulated by the state, it shall be calculated based on the market price or the remuneration standard of similar services and returned in money. (2) If one party obtains the benefits from the use of intellectual property rights, since the intellectual property rights are intangible, that party may compensate the other party at a discount.

21. If the parties still suffer losses after the invalid contract returns the property, the parties may claim damages at the same time, but the phenomenon of double profit or double damage should be avoided.

analysis

This problem involves the relationship between damages and the return of property. The return of property involved in the case of invalid contract includes the discount compensation when it is impossible or unnecessary to return it. Whether it is the return of property or the discount compensation, the factors of property depreciation and appreciation have been fully considered. In the case of property appreciation, there is generally no problem of damages. In the case of property depreciation, the losses caused by property depreciation should be shared among the parties according to the principle of good faith. As a result, Article 35 of the Minutes of the Ninth People’s Meeting stipulates that, on the one hand, if the return of property alone is not enough to make up for the losses, one party may also request the other party at fault to bear the liability for damages; On the other hand, it also stipulates that when determining the scope of damages, it is necessary to reasonably determine the liability according to the degree of fault of the parties, and also consider the factors of property appreciation or depreciation that have been considered when determining the scope of property return, so as to avoid the phenomenon of double profit or double damage.

22, the constitutive requirements of the liability for compensation after the contract is invalid.

analysis

If a contract is invalid and bears the liability for compensation, it shall meet the following constitutive requirements:

(1) There are damage facts or losses. According to the general theory, the legal liability for compensation for losses caused by the invalidity of the contract belongs to the liability for contracting fault in legal nature, not the liability for breach of contract or tort. The loss caused by contracting fault is the loss of reliance interest, that is, the actual loss suffered by the other party because of relying on the validity of the contract, excluding the loss of available interest.

(2) One party is at fault. This is the essential element of a party’s liability for compensation for losses due to the invalidity of the contract. Only one party is at fault can bear the corresponding civil legal liability.

(3) There is a causal relationship between fault and loss.

23, the correct division of invalid contract liability for property damage, should be treated differently according to the fault behavior of the parties.

analysis

Before the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the losses caused by the property acquired by the parties in performing the contract as agreed, or the expenses paid for preparing to perform the contract, shall be borne by the fault liability that caused the contract to be invalid; The losses caused by the breach of contract by the parties in the performance of the contract, that is, the losses caused by new faults in the performance process, such as the supplier submitting goods that do not meet the agreed quality, the supplier failing to deliver the goods according to the contract, and the buyer failing to pay for the goods, are all caused by the unilateral breach of contract, and should be borne by the actor alone, not by the responsible party that causes the contract to be invalid.

24. The damages for invalid contracts are compensation for fault in contracting in nature, and the principles and methods of liability for fault in contracting are applicable.

analysis

The loss caused by the invalidity of the contract is caused by the negligence of both parties in the process of entering into the contract through consultation. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the loss suffered by one party based on its trust in the other party is caused by the negligence in the process of concluding the contract, and its claim for compensation based on the liability for negligence in concluding the contract conforms to the objective process of the development of things.

25. If one party to an invalid contract commits a vicious illegal act, it has no right to claim damages.

analysis

The compensation for the loss of invalid contract must be based on the condition that the compensated party has no vicious illegal act, that is, it has unintentionally violated the national interests and social public interests. That is to say, one party who commits a vicious illegal act has no right to compensation. If both parties commit a vicious illegal act, neither party has the right to compensation. However, for an invalid contract, the vicious illegal behavior of one party does not affect the right of compensation of the other party without fault.

26. The principle of fault liability shall apply to the compensation for the damages caused by invalid contracts; If both parties are at fault, the principle of fault offset should also be applied.

analysis

After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the party liable for compensation must be at fault, that is, the principle of fault liability shall be applied to the compensation for the damage caused by the invalid contract, and the severity of the fault of the party shall be taken as a standard for the division of responsibility. If the parties are not at fault, they will not be liable for compensation. If both parties are at fault, no matter whether one party suffers losses or both parties suffer losses, the principle of fault offset should be applied, and both parties should bear corresponding responsibilities to each other according to the degree and nature of their own faults.

27. The scope of the property loss of an invalid contract shall be limited to the actual loss, which does not include the loss of the interests of the compensated party.

analysis

Article 157 of the Civil Code stipulates clearly that "the party at fault shall compensate the other party for the losses thus suffered", that is, the principle of invalid contract to compensate the actual losses. The actual loss is different from the actual loss of the parties to a valid contract. The actual loss of the parties to a valid contract includes the loss of the parties’ available interests, but the actual loss of an invalid contract does not include the loss of the parties’ available interests.

28. When determining the liability of the parties to an invalid contract for compensation of reliance interest, the scope of reliance interest cannot be determined by referring to the contract.

analysis

On the one hand, when the contract is invalid, the agreed liquidated damages and other provisions are naturally invalid and cannot be used as the basis for determining the liability for contracting negligence. On the other hand, when the contract is valid, the agreed liability for breach of contract is not necessary to have actual losses, and the non-breaching party does not need to prove that it has suffered actual losses. In the case of invalid contract, if one party requests the other party to bear the responsibility for contracting fault, it must prove that it has suffered actual losses. This is also the reason why we can’t refer to the contract to determine the liability for fault in contracting. It should be noted that Article 793 of the Civil Code stipulates that the construction contract of a construction project is invalid, but if the construction project is qualified after completion and acceptance, the contractor may request the employer to make discount compensation according to the contract agreement on the project payment. When the construction project is completed and accepted and the contract is invalid, the employer’s possession of the construction project constitutes unjust enrichment, and the so-called project payment requested by the contractor with reference to the valid contract belongs to unjust enrichment rather than damages in nature. For another example, a continuing contract, such as a lease contract, is invalid. If the lessee fails to pay the rent for the part that has been performed, the benefits obtained by occupying the lease item also constitute unjust enrichment, which can be handled with reference to the effective contract. In the above two cases, the return of unjust enrichment is handled with reference to the effective contract, while the liability for fault in contracting is handled with reference to the liability for breach of contract agreed in the contract.

29. The loss of reliance interest caused by invalid contract is limited to property loss, excluding personal injury or mental damage.

analysis

The loss of reliance interest belongs to property loss, excluding personal injury or mental damage. If a party suffers personal injury or mental damage in the process of concluding a contract, he shall make a request according to the relevant provisions of the Tort Liability of the Civil Code, but not based on the liability for negligence in concluding a contract.

30. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid or revoked, the compensation amount of the reliance interest that the victim should receive should not exceed all the benefits that should be obtained if the contract is valid and actually performed.

analysis

In nature, the compensation for loss of invalid contract is compensation for fault in contracting, and the principles and methods of liability for fault in contracting are applicable. Therefore, the object of compensation for loss refers to the loss of trust interests. The composition of trust interest should meet three conditions, that is, the two parties make reasonable contact for contracting, one party generates trust because of the other party’s behavior, and the other party spends a certain cost because of trust. The damage of reliance interest refers to the loss of the victim’s existing property. This kind of loss is limited to direct loss, which generally includes: reasonable expenses for contacting the other party and visiting the field because of trusting the other party’s invitation or invitation; Reasonable expenses incurred in making various preparations for signing a contract; Reasonable expenses for negotiation. The loss of reliance interest generally does not include indirect losses such as missed opportunity loss, otherwise, reliance interest may be rambling and unduly increase the responsibility of the parties. In short, in principle, the compensation of reliance interest cannot exceed the performance interest. That is to say, after the contract is confirmed to be invalid or revoked, the compensation amount of the trust interest that the victim should get should not exceed all the benefits that should be obtained if the contract is valid and actually performed.

31. Whether the loss of reliance interest after the contract is invalid should be fully compensated should be determined according to the actual situation of the case.

analysis

Damage compensation within the scope of trust interests is not necessarily full compensation. Even if it belongs to the trust interest, whether it should be fully compensated should be determined according to the actual situation of the case. If some expenses incurred in the process of contracting belong to expenses incurred even without contracting, they should not be compensated; If expenses are paid for preparing for the performance of the contract, but benefits are gained at the same time, the benefits shall be deducted before calculating the expenses; Equipment, tools, etc. purchased to prepare for the performance of the contract should also consider whether there are other uses after the contract is invalid.

32, after the contract is invalid, the compensation for damage to reliance interests shall be subject to the negligence offset rule.

analysis

The rule of negligence offset should be applied to the compensation for the damage of trust interests. If the contract is invalid and the victim is at fault, the victim should bear corresponding responsibilities according to his own fault degree. Article 157 of the Civil Code stipulates that "if both parties are at fault, they shall bear corresponding responsibilities", which is the embodiment of this rule.

33. Whether the loss caused by the damage or loss of the subject matter of an invalid contract belongs to the actual loss of an invalid contract depends on whether the loss is caused by the fault of one or both parties in concluding an invalid contract.

analysis

If the subject matter of an invalid contract has been damaged or lost, if it is caused by the fault liability of one or both parties in concluding the invalid contract and the subject matter cannot be returned, the loss of the subject matter is the actual loss of the invalid contract; If the subject matter cannot be completely returned, the returned part is not a loss, and the loss of the failed part is the actual loss of the invalid contract. If it is caused by the new fault liability of one or both parties during the performance of the invalid contract, and the subject matter cannot be returned, the loss of the subject matter shall be borne by the party in fault and cannot be regarded as the actual loss of the invalid contract.

34. The losses caused by new faults in the process of performing an invalid contract do not belong to the actual losses of the invalid contract.

analysis

To determine the actual loss of an invalid contract, we must correctly distinguish whether the loss is caused by the fault of concluding the invalid contract or by the new fault in the process of performing the invalid contract. If it is the economic loss caused by the former, it is the actual loss of the invalid contract, and the party at fault that caused the contract to be invalid shall be responsible for compensation; If it is the economic loss caused by the latter, it is not the actual loss of the invalid contract, and the party at fault who caused the economic loss should be responsible for compensation. For example, the loss of the subject matter caused by improper custody of one party, the extra expenses incurred by the subject matter being sent to the destination by mistake due to negligence of one party, etc.

35. The bank loan interest payable by the parties to an invalid contract cannot be regarded as the actual loss of the invalid contract.

analysis

If the loan contract is invalid, the loan interest cannot be regarded as the actual loss of the invalid contract and shall be borne by the party responsible for the fault. Because the bank loan interest is legal interest, which is part of the loan. If it is assumed as the actual loss of an invalid contract, it will actually harm the interests of the creditor bank. Even if the borrower is at fault and bears part of the interest, this does not reflect the fault liability of the parties, because the part borne by the borrower is its original legal obligation. It can be seen that the loan contract is invalid and the loan interest is not the actual loss of the invalid contract. If other contracts are invalid, and the parties to the invalid contract use the loan to perform the invalid contract, the bank loan interest payable for this purpose shall be regarded as the actual loss of the invalid contract, and the party responsible for the fault that caused the contract to be invalid shall be liable for compensation.

36. The expenses incurred by the parties to an invalid contract in engaging a lawyer in litigation cannot be regarded as the actual loss of the invalid contract.

analysis

The expenses incurred by the parties to an invalid contract in engaging a lawyer in litigation are not the losses caused by the fault liability of the parties in concluding the invalid contract, but the expenses voluntarily incurred by the parties in engaging a lawyer to represent them in litigation, so they cannot be regarded as the actual losses of the invalid contract.

37. The property that should be recovered by the parties to an invalid contract according to law does not belong to the actual loss of the invalid contract.

analysis

Recovering property is the economic sanction imposed by the state on a seriously invalid contract, that is, on one or both parties to the contract who intentionally violate the national interests or social public interests. Therefore, the property that should be recovered by the parties to an invalid contract according to law does not belong to the actual loss of the invalid contract.

38. If the subject matter of an invalid contract has been legally acquired by a third party in whole or in part, its loss belongs to the actual loss of the invalid contract.

analysis

Where the subject matter of an invalid contract has been legally acquired by a third party in whole or in part, if the subject matter has been legally acquired by a third party and cannot be returned, the value of the subject matter shall be calculated and paid by one party to the other; If part of the subject matter has been legally acquired by a third party, and part of it is still in one party, and it cannot be returned in full, part of the subject matter in one party shall be returned to the other party, and the value of part of the subject matter legally acquired by a third party shall be calculated, and the party liable for return shall pay it to the other party; If part of the subject matter has been legally acquired by a third party, and part of it has been lost and cannot be returned, the above methods can be applied analogously.

39. The starting time of property losses caused by an invalid contract shall be determined according to whether the contract has been performed or not.

analysis

The starting time of property losses caused by invalid contracts can be summarized as follows: for contracts that have begun to be performed, it starts from the date of performance; A contract that has not yet been performed shall be counted from the time when the offer takes effect or when the contract is formally established. This understanding is mainly to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the innocent parties.

40. If the contract is confirmed invalid after the expiration of the performance period, the deadline for calculating the property loss of the invalid contract shall be the expiration date of the performance period of the invalid contract.

analysis

If the contract is confirmed to be invalid after the expiration of the contract performance period, the end date should be the date when the contract performance period is confirmed to be invalid, which is both the final date of contract performance and the end date of invalid behavior. The loss before this date is of course the loss of invalid contract (here refers to the situation that the invalid contract has been performed); After that, the property acquired by the parties has changed from the acquisition agreed in the contract to the unilateral illegal possession, and the legal relationship of obtaining the property has changed from the contractual debt to the tort debt. At this time, the loss should be caused by tort, not by the invalidity of the contract, and the compensation for the loss should be borne by the infringer, not by the contractor.

41. If the contract is confirmed to be invalid before the expiration of the performance period, the deadline for calculating the property loss of the invalid contract shall be the date when the court of first instance or the arbitration institution confirms that the contract is invalid.

analysis

For losses that are confirmed to be invalid before the expiration of the contract performance period, the initial confirmation date (that is, the confirmation date of the court of first instance or the arbitration institution) shall be taken. If the parties refuse to accept the appeal, the confirmation has no legal effect. At this time, the date of initial confirmation still ends, which should be said to have no influence on the calculation of losses. Because if the judgment is to uphold the original judgment, the initial confirmation date will have legal effect; If the judgment is amended, there will be no problem of invalid contract and no need to calculate invalid losses.

42. When the subject matter of an invalid contract cannot be returned or cannot be returned in full, the actual loss of the invalid contract shall be determined according to the market price of the subject matter at the time when the invalid contract is concluded.

analysis

When the subject matter of an invalid contract cannot be returned or cannot be returned in full, attention should be paid to the calculated price of the subject matter when calculating the actual loss of the invalid contract. The invalid contract is not recognized by law, and the price of the subject matter stipulated in the contract is naturally invalid. Therefore, the loss cannot be calculated by the price of the subject matter stipulated in the invalid contract. There is no legal basis to calculate the loss according to the market price of the same or similar subject matter when the court handles the invalid contract dispute, because the market price varies greatly with the change of time and different regions, and often either makes one party to the invalid contract profit or aggravates the loss. In addition, the price of the subject matter obtained by the third party, whether it is lower than the price stipulated in the invalid contract or higher than the price stipulated in the invalid contract, cannot be used as the basis for calculating the loss. A more reasonable approach should be based on the market price of the subject matter when concluding an invalid contract.

43, only when there is a causal relationship between the loss and the fault of the invalid contract, the actor should bear the corresponding liability for compensation.

analysis

Causality in compensation for invalid contract means that there is a causal relationship between one party’s illegal behavior and the damage result of the other party. The loss caused by the invalidation of the contract must be caused by the illegal behavior of the party that caused the invalidation of the contract, that is, there is a causal relationship between the loss and the fault that caused the invalidation of the contract. Only when there is a causal relationship between the two, the actor should bear the corresponding civil liability. In practice, determining the causal relationship between loss and invalid contract includes both the conclusion of invalid contract and the violation of the principle of good faith by the parties during the performance of the contract. Losses unrelated to the conclusion and performance of the contract cannot be included in the scope of compensation. That is to say, the parties should distinguish their respective responsibilities according to the degree of violation of the principle of good faith, and share the losses according to their respective faults.

44. After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the limitation of action shall apply to the claim for compensation for losses.

analysis

After the contract is confirmed to be invalid, the contractual relationship between the parties no longer exists, and the compensation liability of the parties is obviously not based on the violation of the valid contract, nor is the victim’s claim for compensation based on the contractual rights. The right of claim is based on the fault in contracting. The right of claim for contracting fault is the right of claim for creditor’s rights, and the limitation of action should be applied.

The list of the top 500 most valuable brands in China in 2024 was released: 229 enterprises from Beishangguangshenhang were selected.

The great changes in the world today are accelerating. China’s development has entered a period in which strategic opportunities and risk challenges coexist and uncertainties and unpredictable factors increase. However, it is still an important engine for stimulating world economic growth. With the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation advancing by leaps and bounds, the transformation of old and new kinetic energy is accelerated, and high-quality development enters the fast lane. Brand value has gradually become the core index to measure the soft power of enterprises.

On May 9th, the 2024 research report "Top 500 Most Valuable Brands in China" compiled exclusively by GYBrand Global Brand Research Institute was released. This is a list that comprehensively shows the high-quality development effect of China brands, and 500 well-known brands from 29 provinces and regions are selected.

The following is the interpretation of the latest China Top 500 Brand Value Report released by GYBrand. Let’s see which brands are on the list.

Interpretation of report

Among the top 10 top 500 most valuable brands in China in 2024, there are 6 in Beijing, 2 in Guangdong, 1 in Hongkong and 1 in Guizhou. The total value of the top 10 brands reached 5.21 trillion RMB, accounting for 14.64% of the total value of the top 500 brands.

As the most profitable bank in the world, ICBC not only ranks second in China’s 500 most valuable brands list, but also tops GYBrand’s top 100 global banks again.

State Grid continued to rank third, and in January this year, it also ranked among the top 10 of GYBrand’s top 500 world brands for the first time.

The "cash cow" game business has been greatly challenged in the past year. Fortunately, WeChat has contributed bright data to Tencent’s financial report, and the second growth curve shaped by video numbers and small programs has supported the growth of brand value.

ByteDance entered the TOP10 for the first time, ranking fifth. The rapid rise of TikTok in the global scope has not only become a bridge for China’s cultural output, but also broken the hegemony of western public opinion and brought a steady stream of advertising revenue.

2024 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of CCB. How to promote high-quality financial development and maintain brand value growth is worthy of attention.

PetroChina ranked among the TOP10 for three consecutive years.

The growth rate of brand value of Agricultural Bank of China continues to slow down, and the position of the top ten is not solid.

China Resources was selected as a group this year, which greatly enhanced the influence of the "China Resources" brand and reached a new high.

Kweichow Moutai entered the TOP10 for four consecutive years and won the most valuable liquor brand.

In terms of regional distribution, as the main gathering place of GYBrand’s top 500 most valuable brands in China, 349 enterprises from Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area were selected, accounting for 69.8%.

There are 133 enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, of which 15 are among the top 100. The coordinated development of regional integration has achieved remarkable results, and a number of world-class industrial clusters such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, artificial intelligence and new energy vehicles have been accelerated here.

There are 114 enterprises in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, of which 49 are among the top 100. Build world-class industrial clusters such as integrated circuits, network security, biomedicine, power equipment and safety emergency equipment, and help the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to a new level.

There are 102 enterprises in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, of which 16 are among the top 100. A new generation of strategic industries such as information technology, intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine, new energy and new materials lead and drive the vigorous development of the private economy.

Judging from the number of provinces on the list, there are 100 brands in Beijing, with a large number of central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, of which 47 are among the top 100 most valuable brands in China in 2024, with a total value of 13.01 trillion yuan. Guangdong, which has the reputation of "world factory", has 89 selected brands, among which 16 brands have entered the TOP100, with a total value of 6.09 trillion yuan.

In addition, the high-quality development of brands in Shandong, Fujian, Sichuan and other provinces has made great progress, and the number of top 500 brands in GYBrand China has reached a new high.

The number of brands selected by "Beishangguangshenhang" totaled 229, accounting for 45.8% of the list of China 500 most valuable brands in 2024, with a total value of 22.29 trillion yuan, accounting for 62.7% of the total list.

There are 100 brands on the list in Beijing, with an average value of 130 billion yuan, and both data are in an absolute lead; There are 51 brands in Shanghai, but the average value is only 57.8 billion yuan, which is a big gap between Beijing and Shenzhen. There are 33 brands on the list in Shenzhen. With the blessing of Huawei, the average value reached 105.1 billion yuan, second only to Beijing. The number of top 500 Chinese brands in Hangzhou (23) surpassed that in Guangzhou (22) for the first time, forming a new pattern of "going north to Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Guangzhou".

The selected number of Hong Kong (13) decreased significantly compared with last year, mainly because China Resources was selected as a group this year, and the values of its brands were merged into the group; Although the number of candidates from Foshan (11), Ningbo (11), Chengdu (10) and Suzhou (10) has increased, there is a big gap in number compared with those from Guangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou.

A large number of cities have been selected as the top 500 brands of GYBrand China, including Jinan (9), Qingdao (8), Wuxi (8), Dongguan (8), Xiamen (7), Nanjing (7), Changsha (7) and Quanzhou (7). The high-quality development of these cities has its own advantages and characteristics, and the number of brands selected is expected to impact the strength of the top ten.

Felix, chief analyst of GYBrand, said, "China brands are accelerating their global distribution, and world-class brands are emerging in many fields. Beijing has a large number of central enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Among the 35 enterprises selected as the top 500 GYBrand World Brands, 28 are central enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Shenzhen has accelerated its March to a global scientific and technological innovation highland, and its overseas brands have great potential. Private enterprises have played an important role. Among the eight enterprises selected as the top 500 brands in the world, all of them come from private enterprises. Combined with the ranking of GYBrand’s Top 100 Cities in China in 2024, Hangzhou has become a strong competitor of the fifth city after Beishangguangshen. "

The list of the top 500 brands in China in 2024 covers 28 different industries, with the food and beverage industry being the most selected.

From the perspective of the distribution of industries, there are 10 industries with more than 20 selected. According to the selected number, the order is: food and beverage (51), computer & electronics (41), retail (36), bank (35), transportation (31), automobile (29), new energy (25), household appliances (25), medicine (24) and home building materials (23). These industries add up to 320, accounting for 64% of the total list.

Judging from the average value of the industry, seven industries have reached the level of 100 billion. Eight companies in the communication industry led by Huawei and the three major operators were selected, with an average value of 213.8 billion, ranking first; Eleven petroleum and petrochemical industries led by three barrels of oil were selected, with an average value of 144.1 billion, ranking second. The other five industries are: media (15, with an average value of 140.9 billion), insurance (12, with an average value of 136.3 billion), banking (35, with an average value of 126.6 billion), public utilities (15, with an average value of 125.3 billion) and engineering construction (12, with an average value of 118.5 billion).

Felix, chief analyst of GYBrand, said: "The number of candidates in the real estate industry has plummeted from 41 in 2021 to 12 today. The development of strategic emerging industries is at an important juncture to seize the commanding heights and leap to a higher level, representing the direction of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, a new generation of information technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment, and green environmental protection. The development potential is huge, and more leading enterprises may appear on the list of top 500 Chinese brands in GYBrand in the future. "

In the list of the top 500 most valuable brands in China in 2024, the brand value of 73 enterprises reached 100 billion. Among them, Huawei, ICBC, State Grid, Tencent, ByteDance and other five brands have a value of more than 500 billion; The value of 13 brands such as PetroChina, China Resources, Maotai, China Mobile, Sinopec and Alibaba is in the range of 300-500 billion; BYD, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, China Construction, CITIC, COFCO, Wuliangye, Pinduoduo, Midea, China Telecom, Sinochem, China Railway, Haier and other 55 brands are in the range of 100-300 billion.

132 brands such as Chery, Hisense, Sany, Hikvision, BOE, SHEIN, DJI, Anta, Weichai, Wahaha and LI are in the range of 50-100 billion; 126 brands, including Voice Holding, Haitian, Feihe, Huazhu, Wuling, Jinluo, Weilai, Tucki, Bosideng, Oriental Yuhong, Iflytek, Yadea and Shanghai Airport, have a value of 30-50 billion. 158 brands including Dashenlin, Huaibei Mining, Chenguang, Renfu Medicine, Libai, Cobos, Anjing Food, Sanshu, Jinshan Office, Laoganma, Zhouming and Chaowei are in the range of 10-30 billion; The value of 11 brands such as Chaohongji and Fiyta is below 10 billion.

From the time of its establishment, the average age of GYBrand’s top 500 Chinese brands this year is 41.25 years old, which is 2 years lower than the previous year, showing a trend of youthfulness. Among them, Luckin Coffee became the youngest brand at the age of 7, while LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD became the oldest brand at the age of 451.

Among the 500 brands on the list, there are only 22 brands with a history of 100 years, accounting for only 4.4%. The average age of food and beverage industry is the oldest. Besides LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD, there are nine centuries-old brands such as Kweichow Moutai, Daoxiang Village, Changyu, Tsingtao Brewery, Langjiu, Wuliangye, Bright Dairy and Fenjiu.

There are only 11 brands established after 2014, accounting for only 2.2%, and the new forces of making cars have contributed 3; There are 69 brands established after 2004, and the proportion has risen to 13.8%. It is not difficult to see that it will take at least ten years or even longer to become a leading enterprise in the industry and reach a certain scale (revenue ≥ 3 billion) if you want to enter the list of GYBrand’s top 500 most valuable brands in China.

Looking around the world, China accounts for more than one third of the youngest 100 world-class brands, most of which are global brands. Among the youngest 10 brands, China occupies 7. To this end, Felix, chief analyst of GYBrand, said, "Although brand cultivation in China started late, there are only seven world-class brands with a history of 100 years. However, with the high-quality development of the brand entering the "fast lane" and accelerating the pace of building a world-class enterprise, the influence of China brand in the world is increasing day by day, and the brand value growth potential is great. "

With the high-quality development of China brands, more and more China brands regard overseas markets as important growth opportunities, speed up overseas distribution, actively enter the world stage, take the initiative to strive for new challenges, and have been widely concerned and recognized in overseas markets.

China’s brand going abroad has become an effective means to enhance the country’s soft power and competitiveness, which not only promotes the benign and vigorous development of the industry, but also helps to enhance the country’s international image and reputation through successful operation and positive reputation in overseas markets. The core spirit of China culture has influenced more foreign friends, and through the internal drive of products, China brand’s international popularity and influence have been continuously enhanced.

Although "China Brand" has emerged in the international competition, it still lacks "soft power" and is still in the stage of "big but not strong". Some experts who study global brands believe that China’s brand going abroad is not only the output of products or services, but also the spread of China culture. The road to globalization of China brand will not only form its unique image in overseas markets, but also participate in the construction of the overall image of China brand, which will have an important impact on other China brands going abroad.

To this end, starting from the second half of this year, GYBrand will strengthen cooperation with relevant departments to jointly empower China brands to go abroad, and strive to transfer China’s core values and cultural concepts to overseas markets to help China brands shine in the spotlight of the world stage.

Complete list

It should be emphasized that the evaluation of the top 500 brand values of GYBrand China in 2024 is mainly based on brand value, and it is not simply ranked according to the market value or revenue scale of enterprises, but comprehensively analyzed from four dimensions, including financial performance, brand strength, brand contribution and sustainability.

Write it at the end

Brand is an important symbol of high-quality development, an internal support for the construction of a quality power, and the most precious intangible asset of an enterprise. A prestigious brand will surely win a broader development space. To this end, more and more leading enterprises in the industry re-examine the effectiveness of brand building, actively promote the high-quality development of brands, and include the continuous improvement of brand value and the acceleration of building world-class brands as important indicators in their annual implementation plans.

The high temperature "baking test" is coming. Please keep this protection guide →

CCTV News:High temperature means that the maximum daily temperature reaches above 35℃. If the high temperature lasts for more than three days, it is called high temperature heat wave. How to protect yourself in hot and hot weather? Please refer to the following protection guide.

Guangxi: Many people suffer from heatstroke within 20 days, so beware of heat shock.

Since May, many southern cities have started the "steamer mode". In Nanning, Guangxi, since May 26th, a total of 76 people have called the 120 hotline for help due to heatstroke. According to experts, when the temperature is 35.6℃ and the relative humidity is 45%, the human body will feel the high temperature of 40℃; If the relative humidity reaches 65%, the somatosensory temperature will approach 50℃. Continuous high temperature will make people feel uncomfortable, and the incidence of heatstroke, intestinal diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase.

Deng Shuangchang, Head of Training Department of Nanning Emergency Medical Center, Guangxi:Generally speaking, the elderly are weak, sweating less, the heat dissipation function will decrease, and they are more prone to heatstroke.

Replenish water and electrolyte in time after sweating heavily.

According to experts, after sweating a lot, you should replenish water and electrolyte in time. Once symptoms such as thirst, sweating, nausea and fatigue appear, it is necessary to cool down as soon as possible and seek medical attention in time, otherwise it may develop into heatstroke, and patients may be comatose due to persistent high fever, and in severe cases, they will face risks such as heart failure and liver and kidney failure.

The first batch of Chengdu street performers who will hold certificates will have an "admission rate" of less than 30%

  Work with certificates

  The first batch of licensed artists will be selected and employed later this month.

  anyone who made a good enough score can be accepted.

  The first batch of 100 places, 242 individuals and 114 teams signed up.

  Standardized management

  The schedule, location and content of the performance time should be managed, and a commitment letter will be signed with relevant departments, which will be audited every year to survive the fittest.

  On March 28th this year, Chengdu Wenguang New Bureau officially announced the first batch of 30 pilot sites for street art performances in 2018. The street performers who meet the requirements will be certified after selection in late April. According to the current data, the first batch of 100 places, more than 300 individuals and teams signed up.

  Street art is an important part of urban culture, and street performance is the most dynamic and active part of street culture. But for a long time, street performances were regarded as disturbing the order of urban management and were rejected. After the reunification, how can it overcome its own shortcomings and become a part of the urban landscape?

  End of recruitment:

  The first batch of "admission rate" is less than 30%

  After approval, interviews and training will be conducted.

  On March 23 this year, on the basis of extensive investigation and soliciting opinions from relevant urban areas, Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television Press and Publication announced the first batch of 30 pilot sites for street art performances in 2018. According to the "Announcement on the First Pilot Sites of Chengdu Street Art Performance in 2018", these 30 pilot sites are located in Chunxi Road, Lan Kwai Fong, Tianfu Square, etc. in Chengdu, which basically covers the places with the most street performances in Chengdu at present.

  As of April 20th, the recruitment of buskers has ended, with the first batch of 100 places, with 242 individuals and 114 teams signing up. Chengdu Cultural Center will organize experts in related fields to review the applicants’ conditions. After the examination, there will be an interview, and then the selected street performers will be trained. After the training, they can perform at the point.

  A person in charge of the Chengdu Cultural Center told the reporter, "When recruiting, there will be certain requirements on the age and performance content of the applicants. The selection criteria are suitable for most people, but mainly depends on the performance level, including some street performers who have already performed on the street." "We must manage the schedule, location and content of the performance time."

  The selected buskers will sign a letter of commitment with the relevant departments, stipulating that they should not be absent at will during the performance. The performance time of street performers is arranged on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (16: 00 ~ 18: 00) and (19: 00 ~ 21: 00), and the performance time at specific points is adjusted according to the actual situation.

  It is understood that certified street performers in Chengdu will be audited every year, and those who are excellent will be rewarded, and those who are poor will be eliminated. "There are limited places during the pilot period, but in the long run, street performers will gradually become a huge group." The person in charge of Chengdu Music Industry Office (hereinafter referred to as "Music Production Office") told the reporter.

  Once the embarrassment of the street

  Whenever the lights are on, music and songs soar with the mist of Jinjiang, and the bar street of Jiuyanqiao in Chengdu has entered the most lively moment of the day. Across the river from here, on the east riverside road, street performers with guitars and speakers, together with Bar Street, construct the cultural symbol of Nine Eyes Bridge. Since last year, the riverbank along the east riverside road in Chengdu has become a place for Guangdong singers to perform in the streets in June. Many citizens who like music and even foreign tourists come here in the night. Around 8 pm, the people on the river bank are full one after another. The performance in June is very simple, with a guitar and a partner playing African drums.

  "Be ready to withdraw at any time"

  The sound of music can only be heard on the riverbank. Soon scattered banknotes were piled up in the yellow guitar bag, and passers-by took the initiative to walk over and asked if they could sing two songs.

  The sound suddenly stopped. A uniformed chengguan came straight, made some representations, quietly held the guitar in his hand in June, and watched the chengguan go away. He said that he had long been used to this embarrassing encounter. During the break, I talked about it in June. He usually stays in the bar or runs a business performance, but he will perform in this fixed place for an hour or two every night.

  Since 2014, he has wandered the streets of many cities across the country to perform for passers-by, feeling that the atmosphere in Chengdu is better. "Passers-by in the past will recognize you in various ways." Like many street performers, even though there are many spectators, they can’t get rid of the constraints of urban management. "In fact, I understand very well that there is no clear norm for street performances, and everyone is not good."

  25-year-old Hu Da is also a frequent visitor to Jiuyan Bridge. At 9: 00 pm on April 19, the urban management came. He stopped singing half of the songs, took his guitar and speakers, walked in the direction of Hejiang Pavilion for a while, looked back, and after confirming "safety", he put the equipment on the side of the road. "You can sing a few songs, so be ready to withdraw at any time."

  Street performances in Chengdu are "scattered, chaotic and of low quality"

  The well-known "Folk Masters" team has been performing in Kuanzhai Lane all the year round. Yang Guang, the founder of the team, said that because the team has been creating and promoting original folk songs, the Kuanzhai Lane management company found them to perform in Kuanzhai Lane. However, such a model is a minority after all. The publicity of the selection of street performers summed up the scattered, chaotic and low-quality street performances in Chengdu. "To tell you the truth, street performers are in a mess now, because the city management department doesn’t allow them to perform at will, so there are only ‘ Shoot a gun and change a place ’ 。” A person in charge of the audio production office told the reporter.

  Unlike most street performers, the "Folk Master" team performing in Kuanzhai Lane did not open the box to receive a "reward". Yang Guang, the founder of the team, said that the government can attach importance to street culture, and he and his team members are very happy. "Especially those who do original promotion like us can communicate with the public within three meters."

  Problems to be solved now

  "I’m just a guitar singer. How did I become a busker?" Li Zhonglan, 27, is a little embarrassed, because playing guitar is just a hobby, and his strength is not up to the level of an artist. He even thinks that playing and singing at friends’ parties is ok, and he gets a little stage fright when he goes to the street. However, in order to earn some "outside water", after the Spring Festival this year, he began to bring his guitar to perform in the street, and the location chose Jiuyanqiao. "There are many people there and the atmosphere is good." But in fact, what he values more is that there are many roadshows in that place, with uneven levels and no pressure.

  "Artistic? We are too far away. "

  On the evening of April 20th, Li Zhonglan took the subway from Guangdu to the new South Gate, then rode a bike-sharing to the singing place, sat on a stone bench on the side of the road and turned on his mobile phone to find the music score. Compared with other people who are on the road show at the same time, his audience is much smaller. There are four chords in a song, and he frequently makes mistakes, but even so, passers-by will take the trouble to scan the QR code used for payment.

  According to many days of visits and many related WeChat groups in Chengdu, the reporter learned that more than 20 people performed on the street all the year round. Outside the Jiuyan Bridge, street performers are scattered at the gates of shopping malls, parks and residential quarters in the form of individuals. According to the introduction of members of a performance group in Chengdu, Raffles, Happy Valley and some subway stations are places that performers like to choose. "Because everyone basically aims at making money, people go wherever they want." Singer Yan Zheng said.

  A person in charge of the Chengdu Music Production Office told the reporter, "From the current point of view, the street art form in Chengdu is too single, and it is usually based on singing and playing, and a large part of it is guitar playing and singing." Gao Yi, a singer who has been performing in the street all the year round, told reporters that this is related to the simple and easy-to-learn guitar. "From the artistic point of view, street performances are far from us."

  How is the spring snow compatible with the street?

  Since the recruitment of street performers, among the registered artists, there are mainly four kinds of talents, including vocal performance, instrumental performance, folk art performance and non-legacy traditional handicrafts.

  As one of the street performers, Huang Kang, a Chinese guqin player, has many feelings. "We never thought that Guqin would play in the street. In the final analysis, there is still no such atmosphere." For Huang Kang and her team, giving street performers a legal identity provides them with an opportunity to face the public. "Our literature and art should still approach the common people, no matter how elegant you are, change customs and be good at music. To be honest, we didn’t have such awareness in the past. " The street performance is just around the corner, and Huang Kang claims that what he is considering now is how Guqin should behave in the street. "How to keep pace with the times and make others understand."

  Tang Zheng, a "post-60 s" freelance musician who signed up for a busker’s license, is no stranger to street art. "Many foreign street performers simply like to share music on the street, and the performers even have the chief violinist of the art troupe."

  Guarantee quality? Guaranteed livelihood?

  Although it has already laid its own brand on the streets of Chengdu, there is still some concern in June: if the quality of performances is overemphasized, people who are currently performing in the streets will be greatly affected.

  A singer who runs in a bar told reporters that there are more and more people performing on the streets of Chengdu. Apart from the good atmosphere, another factor is that the bar earns too little money. A singer who stays in a bar for one night gets a reward of 100~200 yuan, while singing on the roadside, it is normal to earn more than 200 yuan for three or four hours a night.

  But in fact, many applicants are not buskers. In June, he said, "If only the good ones are selected, few of these places will really fall on the buskers. The busker’s card should be more targeted at people who perform on the street, and it is also a channel for buskers to make a living. "

  The person in charge of Chengdu Audio Production Office told the reporter that they had gone to Shanghai, Beijing and other places for investigation. "The advice they gave, the art category of street performance can’t just be music."

  Because there is no Chengdu hukou and residence permit, performer Vivi gave up the selection of street performers. "This is really a big restriction for me." He said with some helplessness. He believes that these requirements virtually limit the performance space of foreign street performers and break the original ecology of street performances.

  Urban culture

  Not only in the theater but also in the streets.

  Street performers are the normal scenery in many cities. In Paris, new york, Moscow and other European and American cities, street performers can often be seen. They either play singing affectionately or bury themselves in painting, some interact with pedestrians frequently, and some do not interfere with pedestrians. And "the master is in the folk", many street performers have a skill, and there are many "sweeping monk" roles.

  In fact, around us, we will also see some street performers. Between different cities, the only difference lies in whether it has formed a scale, whether it has become a feature, and whether it has produced representative artists. At that time, the "Xidan Girl" was just a girl who sang in the Xidan underground passage. Because some netizens filmed and uploaded her cover "Angel’s Wings", it touched countless people and became the "online celebrity" at that time. The city of Beijing has completed the "Xidan Girl". Why didn’t the "Xidan Girl" complete Beijing and let people see the other side of the city?

  Some people recognize the artistry of street performers and supplement and enrich urban culture; Some people think that the disorder of street performers has affected the traffic and appearance of the city. Orderliness has always been an important option in urban governance. Out of the pursuit of order, some cities are unfriendly to street performers, and it is strictly forbidden to perform in the streets. Street performers sometimes even have to "guerrilla" with urban management.

  Urban governance should avoid falling into a single option and ignore the diversity of aesthetic needs. A city that brings people a good feeling needs an orderly side, but order does not mean rigidity or only one expression. The vitality of street performers, in many cases, makes the city show a vibrant side. The attitude towards street performers also involves the attitude of the bottom people’s livelihood.

  Moreover, cities now generally attach importance to cultural construction. Many cities spend huge sums of money to build public cultural facilities such as the Grand Theatre, organize several large-scale cultural activities every year, and have a number of support policies for cultural enterprises and cultural talents. Of course, it is right to attach importance to culture, but is culture only reserved in the grand theater? A truly literate city should exude a cultural temperament when it gestures, and it is filled with cultural styles in the streets and alleys. A city with real cultural confidence and wisdom will definitely face up to the existence of street performers.

  A beautiful city should be a city with culture, and urban culture should be integrated into all aspects of the city as a daily presentation. Modern cities should attach importance to street image design and cultivate their own "street culture". The mind determines the pattern, and the pattern determines the future. Give more tolerance to street performers, and this kind of mind and wisdom will bring unlimited imagination to the city. According to China Youth Daily

The black boss who clamored for "doing things will win" was sentenced to 22 years in prison and set up a "hi bag" in the hotel for a long time.

  On December 24th, the Hunan Higher People’s Court held a press conference on the work of the special struggle to eliminate evils, and released the top ten highlights of the work of Hunan courts this year and the top ten typical cases of evil crimes. On the same day, the Hunan court made centralized judgments on a number of cases involving black and evil.

  The CCTV reporter noted that Xiao Xiaoyong’s case was listed among them, and this case was also the first "black logistics" case investigated by Zhuzhou City since the launch of the special struggle against evil.

  According to the police investigating the case, Xiao Xiaoyong came to Zhuzhou in 1993 and set up Hongyun Consignment Department, which is engaged in the cargo consignment business from Zhuzhou to Jiangxi Province. In 2000, in order to monopolize the consignment line from Zhuzhou to Jiangxi Province, Xiao Xiaoyong gathered a number of associates to smash the consignment station of his peers with knives. In the open fighting, one person was seriously injured and the other was slightly injured. Finally, he was sentenced to one year in prison by the Lusong District Court.

  Everyone in the market knows that Xiao Xiaoyong is a "ruthless role" and dare not compete with him for the same route.

  After being released from prison, Xiao Xiaoyong returned to his old job, and successively recruited many fellow villagers such as Jiang Mingming to join the consignment station, and instilled in them the gangster concept of "Don’t be afraid to go out and do things, you must win if you want to do things, and the company will be responsible if something goes wrong". He suppressed the competitive thugs by means of smashing and looting, forced trading, extortion, and trouble-making, and his logistics business expanded rapidly in Hetai Market in Hetang District of Zhuzhou City.

  According to media reports, the evil forces of Hongyun Logistics headed by Xiao Xiaoyong were formed in 2007. Xiao Xiaoyong and Xiangjing Logistics Company failed to compete for the route. He found an excuse to instruct Jiang Qingguo to lead Jiang Jinping, Jiang Mingming and others to smash the facade of Xiangjing Logistics and snatch the goods of Xiangjing Logistics to get back at Xiangjing Logistics Company.

  In order to develop and expand the illegal forces, Xiao Xiaoyong relied on Hongyun Logistics Company to develop and absorb many social idlers such as Zhang Tianpeng, and relied on the huge profits obtained by the logistics company to set foot in hotels, high-interest loans and other industries, recruiting Ma Shuilin and others as security guards of Shengshi Kangnian Hotel and carrying out violent debt collection.

  In addition, Xiao Xiaoyong also set up a "Hi Bao" (a room dedicated to drug abuse in the hotel KTV) for a long time, providing paid escort service for the opposite sex, allowing others to take drugs for a long time, and gradually forming a underworld organization with Xiao Xiaoyong as the organization and leader, Zhang Tianpeng and other four as active participants, and 19 as other participants, including Jiang Mingming and Ma Shuilin.

  Through trial, it was found that the organization gradually formed a monopoly position in the logistics industry in Hetang District, and engaged in illegal and criminal activities such as pornography and drugs for a long time. A total of 1 affray, 16 affray, 1 extortion, 1 gathering to disturb social order, 2 intentional destruction of public and private property, 146 drug abuse, 2 forced transactions, 1 dissemination of obscene articles and 1 false litigation were carried out, resulting in 8 minor injuries or injuries to the property of several victims. In addition, Xiao Xiaoyong raped a victim, lured, abetted and deceived many people to take drugs, and gathered several people for fornication many times.

  In the end, in the first instance, the court sentenced Xiao Xiaoyong to 22 years in prison, deprived of political rights for 2 years, and confiscated all his personal property on 14 counts, including the crime of organizing and leading underworld organizations, the crime of gathering people to fight, the crime of stirring up trouble, and the crime of extortion. The remaining 23 defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 1 year and 2 months to 10 years respectively.
