Southern observation | Zhongshan, broken!

  5.6%, higher than the average growth rate of Guangdong Province by 0.8 percentage points. In 2023, Zhongshan handed in a solid high-quality development report card.

  Where is the solid embodiment? As an export-oriented city, Zhongshan withstood the pressure in the face of shrinking external demand.The growth rate of GDP (5.6%), industrial added value (6.1%) and industrial investment (47.3%) are all higher than the provincial average, which has taken a big step to reverse the development momentum.

  High quality color geometry? In the past two years, Zhongshan has "clung to industrial investment", which has laid a solid foundation for structural optimization and kinetic energy conversion of manufacturing industry. Behind the high growth of industrial investment, in the past two years, Zhongshan has prepared more than 33,000 mu of land through "industrial reform" and the "number one project" of business environment reform, which has provided emboldened support for the manufacturing industry to take root and thrive.

  Behind the change of data is the change of development stage and concept.For some time, Zhongshan has made great efforts to break the dilemma of limited resource elements and weakened comparative advantages with commendable strategic determination, and opened up a new situation of high-quality development of manufacturing industry with the confidence and determination of government and enterprises to work together for the economy.

  Looking forward to 2024, the opening of the Shenzhen-China Passage is just around the corner, and the waves on the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary are surging and flapping towards Zhongshan. "This year’s Zhongshan, we must seize the historic opportunity that the Shenzhen-China Passage will be opened soon, take the initiative, and create a new situation of high-quality development in Zhongshan with reform and innovative thinking." On January 27th, Guo Wenhai, secretary of Zhongshan Municipal Party Committee, said at the city’s economic work conference.

  Answering the construction of the first-class Bay Area and creating a new demonstration of integrated development, Zhongshan is catching up.

Strong support: continuous high growth of industrial investment.

  The long-term economic development always follows scientific laws. In recent years, in the process of wave-like development and tortuous progress, Zhongshan has grasped the key elements of high-quality development and devoted itself to building its own competitive advantage.

  Reflected in the economic data, in 2023, the growth rate of industrial investment in Zhongshan (47.3%) and industrial technological transformation investment (53.2%) was 25.1 and 30.8 percentage points higher than the average growth rate of the whole province, which not only reflected the continuous internal changes in Zhongshan’s factor endowment structure, but also reflected the scene of industrial upgrading in full swing.

  Manufacturing accounts for half of Zhongshan’s economy — — In 2022, the added value of Zhongshan’s manufacturing industry reached 160.2 billion yuan, accounting for 44.1% of GDP, much higher than the provincial average of 34.1%. Over the years, the number of industrial enterprises in Zhongshan has always been the fifth in the province, which is a valuable asset in the development of Zhongshan manufacturing industry.

  However, the road to industrial upgrading, Zhongshan did not go smoothly in the past. Since 2012, the total industrial investment and growth rate in Zhongshan have been weak for ten years. With the rising cost of factors, the traditional comparative advantage is weakened, and industrial upgrading is like castles in the air without the instigation of industrial investment.

  For an industrial city, industrial investment plays an important role in high-quality economic development. In 2023, Zhongshan implemented the "Top-ranking Project" for the manufacturing industry, and comprehensively promoted the strengthening of work force to the manufacturing industry, the inclination of policies and measures to the manufacturing industry, and the concentration of resource elements to the manufacturing industry.

  On the basis of 20.4% growth rate in 2022, industrial investment in Zhongshan will increase by 47.3% in 2023, ranking among the top in the province.

  Focusing on industrial investment, Zhongshan’s investment structure has been continuously optimized: within a few years, the proportion of industrial investment in Zhongshan’s fixed assets investment has been less than 20% at one time, and it will be close to 40% by 2023.

  This record-high quantitative change has a decisive impact on the qualitative change of industry. From the change of two dimensions, we can get a glimpse of Zhongshan’s high-quality development:

  The first dimension lies in the effectiveness of the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry.Since 2022, Zhongshan Municipal Finance has spent 5 billion yuan to fully support the digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises, which is rare in the country. In 2023, among the 450 key industrial projects in Zhongshan, there were 280 digital intelligent projects, accounting for over 70%. On this basis, in 2023, Zhongshan’s investment in industrial technological transformation increased by 53.2%, and it was in the forefront of the province in terms of the digital transformation rate of enterprises.

  With the digital and intelligent transformation, "Zhongshan Goods" will be upgraded, and Zhongshan Manufacturing will accelerate to the higher end of the industrial chain division in the Bay Area.

  The second dimension lies in the strength of attracting investment.In 2023, investment in Zhongshan reached a record high, with more than 500 contracted projects and a total investment of over 110 billion yuan, of which projects with an investment of over 1 billion yuan increased by over 60% year-on-year. The efficiency of the project from signing to construction is unprecedented: in 2023, the number of contracted rotary projects in the city exceeded 190, with a total investment of over 43 billion yuan, accounting for more than 50% of the total investment of investment projects that have been started in the city.

  Driven by industrial investment, Zhongshan’s manufacturing industry has taken a steady and rhythmic step. In the long run, Zhongshan has a more ambitious goal to promote the manufacturing industry: to implement digital intelligent transformation and upgrading for three years, and strive to achieve full coverage of digital transformation of enterprises on the whole by 2026; At the same time, strive to exceed 100 billion yuan in industrial investment in 2025.

Have confidence: "for the government" helps "deep roots"

  Another noteworthy data is that in 2023, the industrial added value of Zhongshan gauge increased by 6.1%, 1.7 percentage points higher than that of the whole province.

  After a lapse of five years, the added value of the secondary industry in Zhongshan has once again exceeded 50% of GDP, and the manufacturing industry has achieved initial results, and the supporting role of the real economy has been significantly strengthened.

  Why does Zhongshan walk so firmly on the road of manufacturing being the master? Behind the full promotion of industrial development, where is Zhongshan’s confidence? Answering the above two questions is an important logic for Zhongshan to promote reform and innovation in recent years:

  The countdown to the opening of the Shenzhen-China Passage will write a new chapter in the integration and development of the east and west sides of the Pearl River Estuary. As a pathfinder for the integration and development of Greater Bay Area, Zhongshan should take the manufacturing industry as an important starting point to accelerate regional cooperation;

  In the past two years, Zhongshan has launched a series of reform measures to help industrial progress with space expansion, to deepen reform to stimulate market vitality, and to support business entities with policy escort. The scope, degree and intensity of various reforms have reached the highest in the history of nearly ten years.

  Forging a high-quality development carrier by breaking the bottleneck of land constitutes the foundation for promoting regional coordination space.In order to solve the land bottleneck of nearly 40% development intensity, Zhongshan has comprehensively implemented the transformation and upgrading of inefficient industrial parks in 23 towns and streets of the city, and has transformed over 33,000 mu of industrial land, more than the number of industrial land sold in Zhongshan in the past decade. The "industrial reform" has broken the space, bringing new breakthroughs in attracting new enterprises and local enterprises to increase capital and expand production.

  Optimizing the government’s administrative efficiency with the reform of the business environment constitutes the emboldened spirit of exploring and integrating the development environment.Taking the business environment reform as the "number one project" of the reform to speed up the administrative efficiency, Zhongshan proposed to build one of the cities with the best business environment in Greater Bay Area. From the launch of "Walking Office" and "Running Office Right away", to the establishment of "Enterprise Service Line 1" and "7×24-hour" response mechanism, and then to the announcement of mobile phone number by "number one", Zhongshan declared to the whole society that business services are "always online".

  Various reforms have provided solid support for the development of the industry step by step and helped the real economy to "take root"."Entrepreneurs are peach jellyfish and need a good business environment to survive." Zhu Cheng, chairman of Zhongke Fuhai (Zhongshan) Low Temperature Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. said, "The business environment in Zhongshan is getting better and better."

  In 2023, there were two phenomena in the industrial development of Zhongshan: on the one hand, leading enterprises that once went out of Zhongshan returned one after another, including two giants, Jianhua Pipe Pile and Opal Lighting, which announced that they would place their South China base in Zhongshan; On the other hand, a group of top 500 enterprises in China, including Sanhua Holding Group and Zhongchuang Group, chose to enter Zhongshan at this time. Behind these two phenomena, the Zhongshan project reached a new speed: the signing of the Sanhua South Headquarters Base project invested and built by Sanhua Group was officially started only in the past two and a half months, and all 56 approval procedures were completed in only five and a half months for the tens of billions of new Maiqi projects.

  In 2023, the output value of Zhongshan "4+6" and "New Ten Fleet" industrial clusters increased by 4.9%. With the help of the government, Zhongshan enterprises are regaining market competitiveness.

  "The hard-won work results also show that our idea of grasping the economy is good and the method is right." Xiao Zhanxin, mayor of Zhongshan City, said at the city’s economic work conference that we should strengthen our confidence, maintain a good momentum, plan our economic work well this year, and strive to achieve a "good start".

Cohesion: government and enterprises work together to create a "new Zhongshan"

  "The main line of the Shenzhen-China Passage runs through the whole line, and it takes only half an hour between Shenzhen and Zhongshan after it is opened to traffic this year." The vision of "Shenzhen, China and the same city" was clearly written in the 2024 Guangdong Provincial Government Work Report. In the face of historic opportunities, Zhongshan put forward the goal of doubling major economic indicators such as GDP and total industrial output value in 2035 and "recreating a new Zhongshan".

  How far is it from the target? From the objective situation reflected by economic data, Zhongshan is not without pressure. For example, as an export-oriented city, influenced by the international situation, the total import and export value of Zhongshan decreased year-on-year in 2023, and many traditional industries are facing challenges.

  Under the influence of unfavorable factors, Zhongshan is more resilient against the pressure. Among them, an important change is that the atmosphere of government and enterprises working together day and night to fight for the economy has been formed.

  The change in the style of cadres is particularly intuitive.

  At the end of October, 2023, an entrepreneur forum was held in Zhongshan, and many enterprises stood up and "praised" the services of the Zhongshan Party Committee and government, which was a great change from the entrepreneur forum that was "bitter" two years ago: from "Can you open ‘ Walking office ’ ‘ Do the office right away ’ " From the demand to the plan of "I decided to stay in Zhongshan and continue to increase capital and expand production", the same group of cadres and masses has a different look.

  The enterprising attitude of entrepreneurs is even more commendable.

  In 2023, the traditional industries in Zhongshan, represented by lighting, household appliances and clothing, will accelerate the transformation of high-end, intelligent and green, and continue to glow with new vitality. According to customs statistics, in 2023, the export of household appliances such as microwave ovens, air conditioners and refrigerators in Zhongshan increased by 16.3% year-on-year. "Made in Zhongshan" household appliances continue to be popular overseas, and 10 overseas markets such as Belarus, Luxembourg and Niger have been newly opened.

  The "new three kinds" of emerging industries in Zhongshan, represented by new energy, medicine and new generation information technology, stand out with new technologies and new products and gain new competitive advantages. Mingyang Electric’s 2023 performance forecast net profit may exceed 90%. Kangfang Bio achieved its best performance since its establishment in the first half of the year, with a record high income.

  The "old three samples" are full of new vitality, and the "new three samples" show new advantages. The transformation and upgrading of Zhongshan’s manufacturing industry has achieved positive results and gradually realized the transformation of competitive advantages in the industrial division of labor in the Bay Area.The investment in scientific and technological innovation has reached a new high, which has become the most intuitive embodiment of this transformation of competitive advantage.

  According to the data disclosed at the end of 2023, in 2022, the investment in Zhongshan R&D (R&D for short) broke through the 10 billion mark with a growth rate of 24%, becoming the seventh city in the province to be promoted to the "10 billion legion", and the R&D expenditure accounted for the first increase in GDP in the province.

  As the core index to measure the regional scientific and technological innovation ability, the R&D investment in Zhongshan ushered in a historic breakthrough, releasing a strong signal: the "first driving force" of scientific and technological innovation is stronger in Zhongshan, and innovation consciousness, innovation elements and innovation power are surging with unprecedented momentum. Zhongshan is changing from a "chaser" of industrial development to a "pioneer" of innovation and development.

  The surging tide of the Pearl River is just like the enterprise that keeps going around the clock. In 2024, Zhongshan, presented on the industrial map of the Bay Area, will be a more competitive pathfinder for integrated development.

Performing in 2020 navy: military training is moving towards actual combat in a solid and in-depth manner

       CCTV News:In 2020, the navy focused on mission training to prepare for war, and solidly carried out basic training based on ability and practical case training based on task. Military training has made deep progress in actual combat year by year, and it has developed by leaps and bounds to informationization. The winning ability and actual combat level of the troops have been significantly improved.

       Recently, Shandong ship has conducted a series of experimental training in a certain sea area of Bohai Sea. This mission adopts the method of multi-module synchronous training, and specializes in subjects such as leaving the dock at night, sailing in narrow waterways, maritime search and rescue, and damage management in battle positions.

       This is the cross-regional maneuver training of Liaoning carrier formation in May this year. The formation consisting of Liaoning ship and several escort ships sailed through the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea and the West Pacific Ocean for more than a month, and carried out practical training in various subjects such as formation attack and defense, take-off and landing of J -15 carrier-based fighters, which effectively tested the overall combat capability of the aircraft carrier formation, and effectively improved the information countermeasures and electronic countermeasures capabilities in complex electromagnetic environment.

       With the cross-regional maneuver training of Liaoning ship again and again, the training level of carrier-based aircraft has continuously made new breakthroughs, and the integration ability of ship and aircraft has achieved a new leap. At present, several J -15 carrier-based fighter pilots have obtained the qualification certification for boarding at night, becoming one of the few countries in the world to master the technology of taking off and landing at night for carrier-based fighter pilots.

       In 2020, the newly-listed fleet of 10,000-ton destroyer Nanchang Ship, Chengdu Ship and Datong Ship conducted multi-disciplinary exercises such as attacking the sea, fighting against the sea, air defense and anti-missile, etc. In the continuous days of sea training, the ability of new ships to perform various combat tasks was effectively tested by setting difficult conditions, setting strong opponents, and training live ammunition on the shore day and night.

       Focusing on innovative ways and means to improve the quality and efficiency of training is a useful exploration for the navy to promote the development of actual combat training at all levels in recent years. Not long ago, the naval air force in the Eastern Theater broke the free air combat training mode of the same type of aircraft, and organized two types and three generations of aircraft to conduct free air combat training on the same site for several days in a row, exploring a new training mode of two types and three generations of crew. By mixing aircraft types, we can give full play to the mechanical advantages of each aircraft type and maximize the combat effectiveness of formation. Since the adjustment and formation of the Marine Corps in 2017, taking the opportunity of cross-regional base training and actual combat training on the seashore, the Marine Corps has organized large-scale training for all posts in the whole system by means of mixed training, and has successively gone to training grounds in northern Myanmar, Weibei and western Guangdong for cross-regional actual combat training, which has greatly improved its ability to carry out combat missions in a larger space, a wider region and a more complex environment.

       The naval forces have organized hundreds of actual combat drills such as sea assault, anti-submarine, amphibious, submarine rescue and other opportunities by taking advantage of escort in the open sea and combat readiness patrol. In mid-October this year, the 35th naval escort formation successfully completed the 170-day non-port escort mission. Basic training such as main and auxiliary gun shooting, light weapons shooting, damage control drills and practical training such as rescue of hijacked ships and cooperative anti-piracy between ships and aircraft were carried out, which tested the ability of the formation to carry out diversified tasks under complex conditions.

       From basic training to real case training, from training to actual combat tasks, the People’s Navy has achieved remarkable results in various trainings. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the naval forces have participated in more than 200 exercises, and divisions and brigades have conducted more than 3,000 mass training competitions, with more than 800,000 officers and men participating in the training. The training intensity, difficulty conditions, confrontation intensity and research depth of the troops have reached a new high.

Jiangsu "inspirational" female boss illegally raised 288 million yuan and was sentenced to 9 years in prison and fined 450,000 yuan.

  (Reporter of Legal Network Ma Chao correspondent of Legal Network Zhang Lili Zhu Jie) Chen Shangmei, 59 years old, worked as a garment factory worker and a dry cleaner owner in her early years. At the age of 52, she "switched careers" and started Jiangsu Guangyuan Bean Products Co., Ltd., and at the same time, she also has dazzling auras such as a member of Yangzhong CPPCC and the chairman of Yangzhong Chamber of Commerce, and is known as an "inspirational" female entrepreneur.

  However, because the initial investment of Jiangsu Guangyuan Bean Products Co., Ltd. was too large to make ends meet, in order to maintain the operation of the enterprise, Chen Shangmei, who had originally raised a small amount of money among relatives and friends around her and had a good reputation, began to raise funds illegally on a large scale. She illegally absorbed 288 million yuan of public deposits from more than 800 victims in five years by issuing loan certificates and promising annual interest rates ranging from 20% to 30%, resulting in direct economic losses of 281 million yuan.

  On April 21, the People’s Court of Yangzhong City, Jiangsu Province, filed a public prosecution, and made a public judgment in the first instance on this extraordinarily serious case of illegally absorbing public deposits. The defendant Chen Shangmei was sentenced to 9 years’ imprisonment and fined 450,000 yuan for the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits.

  The owner of the dry cleaner started the company as the boss.

  Become a well-known female entrepreneur

  Chen Shangmei was once known as an "inspirational" female boss. Born in 1957, she is a native of Funing County, Jiangsu Province. She has only a primary school education. She worked as a garment factory worker and a dry cleaner owner in her early years. At the age of 52, she changed careers and became a well-known entrepreneur. She was the legal representative of Jiangsu Guangyuan Bean Products Co., Ltd., a member of the Ninth CPPCC in Yangzhong City and the chairman of Yangzhong Chamber of Commerce.

  When Chen Shangmei ran a dry cleaner, she began to raise small amounts of money among relatives and friends around her, and promised to give some interest. Since it was only a small loan at the beginning, the profit earned by Chen Shangmei Laundry was enough to cope with it. Being warm and humble, Chen Shangmei has accumulated a good reputation and many ordinary people trust her.

  Later, Chen Shangmei ended the dry cleaner business and set up Guangyuan Bean Products Co., Ltd.. In 2013, it was renamed Jiangsu Guangyuan Food Science and Technology Group, and its business scope expanded from the production and sales of bean products to the fields of catering and logistics, and once became a leading agricultural enterprise in Zhenjiang City.

  The high interest return, plus the bright aura of the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, have increased the trust of some ignorant people in Chen Shangmei, and even some people who don’t know her at all are willing to lend money to her through acquaintances.

  Businessmen, farmers and strangers lent her money one after another.

  Borrowed 288 million yuan from more than 800 people in five years.

  Sign your name on a blank piece of paper, noting the interest and principal. This is the IOU that Chen Shangmei calls others. The money that should have been used for the company’s operation finally entered Chen Shangmei’s private account through transfer. According to reports, among the more than 800 fund-raising households, there are not only businessmen who are all-powerful in business, but also ordinary farmers who save money.

  However, the bean products that once appeared in various stalls in Yangzhong did not bring a lot of profits to the company. The output value of only 4 million yuan a year is equivalent to operating at a loss. In order to keep the company going, Chen Shangmei started to borrow a large amount of money in 2009, and the interest rose from the initial one point and two points to two points and three points or even five or six points, which were also calculated according to the daily interest rate and monthly interest rate.

  In 2011, Chen Shangmei borrowed 25 million yuan and needed to pay more than 5 million yuan in interest. In 2012, the loan reached 40 million, and the interest needed to be paid was about 10 million.

  At this time, some creditors began to ask for money, and Chen Shangmei, who had no money in her hand, could only continue to borrow money from others, falsely claiming that it was used for enterprise capital turnover. In the second half of 2014, Chen Shangmei could not borrow any more money, and the case broke out.

  On December 3, 2014, Chen Shangmei was arrested. On September 29, 2015, Yangzhong City Procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Chen Shangmei for illegally absorbing public deposits.

  The court found that from 2009 to 2014, Chen Shangmei illegally absorbed funds from the public in the name of production, operation and investment with high interest returns as bait. Chen Shangmei illegally absorbed 288 million yuan of public deposits from more than 800 victims by issuing loan certificates and promising annual interest rates ranging from 20% to 30%, resulting in direct economic losses of 281 million yuan.

  The court held that Chen Shangmei’s behavior constituted the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits. After the incident, Chen Shangmei voluntarily surrendered himself. When the public security organ questioned him, he was able to truthfully confess his criminal facts and surrendered himself. According to relevant regulations, he can be given a lighter or mitigated punishment according to law. In the end, Chen Shangmei was sentenced to 9 years in prison and fined 450,000 yuan.

From "procrastination" to "voluntary repayment", the judge’s dilemma of "if I am suing" to break the triangular debt

"Judge Cao, I have remitted the balance of 45,000 yuan to Simou. Thank you for putting yourself in the other’s shoes and solving the triangular debt problem once and for all. Now you are light without debt!" A ringtone alarmed Cao Bin, the executive judge of the "dormant" desk to sort out the case. It was Zhou who raised an execution objection a few months ago and thought that the court had seized his property beyond the standard …

In July 2022, Zhou borrowed 110,000 yuan from Simou, and agreed to repay the principal and interest one year later. However, due to the break of the capital chain, the amount owed was delayed, and Simou appealed to Chongchuan Court. In the litigation stage, Zhou considered that Mr. Chen, who owed his payment, should pay off the money by the end of the year, and reached a mediation with Si, promising to pay 60,000 yuan before the end of December 2023, and the balance was fully fulfilled in June of the following year. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen, who had originally dealt with Zhou, could not do business and went to work in the factory. Zhou scraped together all the money he could, and finally he could only pay less than 20 thousand yuan.

In the face of Zhou’s rhetoric that he once again hopes to postpone his performance, Simou said that he is also very difficult. It is not easy to pay more than 100,000 yuan in installments for such a long time, and he resolutely disagrees with Zhou’s request. A paper application, Zhou became the executor. During the execution of the program, it was found that the balance of the bank account, Alipay, WeChat and other accounts under Zhou’s name was only a hundred yuan, which was obviously not enough to pay the arrears. However, there is real estate under Zhou’s name, a small shop of 23.85 square meters, and a common house with his wife.

Considering that the amount of tax paid by the judicial auction of shops is high, which is not enough to cover the subject matter of this case, and the share of the common property cannot be determined, Chongchuan Court seized the above two real estates according to Si’s application. After the seizure was delivered to Zhou, Zhou, whose phone was "lost", finally contacted the court and asked for more time, but after waiting for no results, Cao Bin decided to start the disposal of small shops without disputes over property rights. At this time, an objection application was mailed to Cao Bin’s desk, believing that the seized house was enough to cover the subject matter of the case, and requesting to lift the seizure of small shops.

Cao Bin informed Zhou and his wife to come to the court to negotiate the share of common real estate, but Zhou refused, explained to him and insisted on reviewing the objection. The execution objection was transferred to Wang Fenghua, the president of the enforcement adjudication court, for review. When Zhou complained to Wang Fenghua, he said that the money owed to Si could not be paid back because of the problem that Lao Chen owed the payment, and he was going to sue Lao Chen. The execution objection was his "means" to delay the auction. Knowing the above situation, Wang Fenghua contacted Cao Bin at the first time, and both judges believed that the execution of the due creditor’s rights was obviously more conducive to the settlement of the debts of Si and Zhou. Cao Bin contacted Zhou again. He thought it was a "debt collection" phone call. Zhou, who was "impolite", heard about Cao Bin’s solution and asked "Can it still be like this?"

Knowing Mr. Chen’s address and contact information, Cao Bin came to the unit where Mr. Chen worked. Facing the inquiry of the executive judge, Chen Ye Sr. frankly owed money, but said that his business could not go on, and he had no money to work in his relatives’ factory. Seeing that the other party did not deny the fact of the debt, Cao Bin started with Mr. Chen Jiating and told him the benefits of voluntarily fulfilling his obligations and avoiding being sued and executed. Finally, under the mediation and coordination of the head of the factory, Mr. Chen collected 20,000 yuan, and the head of the factory performed the rest on his behalf, and all the above money was remitted to Si.

Cao Bin struck while the iron was hot, and organized and coordinated the remaining debts of both parties. In the end, Simou once again agreed to relax the final performance period. Zhou also promised to repay the money even if the small shops were mortgaged, and also withdrew the application for execution objection from the court.

To feel "fairness and justice" from the perspective of the masses, the core foothold is to "substantially resolve the contradiction at one time" and "let the dispute end with me", so that the parties can get the best dispute settlement effect with the least time and investment, which is the most vivid embodiment of the current Chongchuan court’s implementation of the concept of "as if I am suing" and the promotion of "one thing" work.

Erdogan warns to close the US military base in Turkey: Is it serious?

US Secretary of Defense Esper (Source: Reuters)

  Overseas Network December 17th Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo? an recently said that Turkey was considering closing the US military base in Turkey when the United States wanted to impose additional sanctions on Turkey. In response, US Defense Secretary Esper said at a press conference on the 16th that he needed to talk with his Turkish counterpart in the Ministry of National Defense.

  According to Reuters, Esper said, "I just got this news from the newspaper, too. I need to talk to my Turkish counterpart in the Ministry of Defence to find out what they really mean and how serious they are."

  Esper said that if Turkey really wants to close the Kurecik base, NATO needs to discuss this issue. "They are sovereign countries and have the right to choose whether to provide a station for NATO or foreign troops. If they really take this matter seriously, I think this becomes a problem that the alliance needs to solve, because this is your commitment to the alliance. "

  On the 11th, the US Senate passed a resolution that the Ottoman massacre of Armenians in 1915 was genocide. This historic move angered Turkey and dealt another blow to the already problematic relationship between Ankara and Washington. At the same time, the US Senate passed a bill to impose sanctions on Turkey’s invasion of Syria on October 9.

  Erdogan warned on 15th that he might close Gilica air base and Kurecik radar base in response to US sanctions and resolutions. Because Gilica Air Force Base has always been the main base for US operations in the Middle East, the US military has used it to fight the "Islamic State" forces entrenched in Syria and Iraq. The Kurechik radar base is the main base of NATO, where a large number of early warning radars are arranged to defend against ballistic missile attacks.

  In addition, Ankara and Washington have been arguing over Turkey’s purchase of the S-400 system. Washington said that the system is incompatible with NATO’s defense system and poses a threat to its F-35 stealth fighter. Earlier this year, the United States suspended Turkey’s F-35 procurement and production plan to punish Turkey for purchasing Russian S-400 system, and repeatedly warned that the United States may impose sanctions on the transaction.

China’s World Contribution to Anti-epidemic

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 20th (International Observation) China’s World Contribution to Anti-epidemic.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Zan Du Jing

  Since the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic, it has brought great impact on global public health and economic development. China has always adhered to the principle of putting people first and life first, scientifically prevented and controlled the epidemic according to the situation, coordinated the epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development to the maximum extent, and provided vaccines, materials, experience and information to the international community selflessly. China has made important contributions to the world with its effective epidemic prevention and control achievements, extensive international cooperation against epidemic diseases and stable economic recovery, which has been positively evaluated by foreign experts and scholars.

  Scientific and effective prevention and control of epidemic situation

  "The speed of recovery here is incredible." On April 8, 2021, on the occasion of the first anniversary of Wuhan’s "unblocking", many international media unanimously expressed their feelings.

  When the COVID-19 outbreak broke out in Wuhan, faced with the unknown highly pathogenic virus, the China municipal government put the protection of people’s lives and health in the first place, made a decisive decision to "close the city", mobilized national medical forces to rush to Wuhan, and quickly established two professional hospitals and a large number of shelter hospitals … … After more than two months of hard work, Wuhan achieved "unblocking" and the economy and society gradually returned to normal.

  Wuhan is a microcosm of China’s scientific and effective anti-epidemic.

  China’s strong social and public health intervention measures have reduced severe cases and deaths in China, alleviated the global epidemic prevention pressure, gained precious time for the international community to fight the epidemic, and provided reference for the international community.

  Magdi Dahshan, former vice president of the Medical College of azhar University, pointed out that people knew nothing about the virus at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. China has taken many powerful prevention and control measures, adhered to the people first, and achieved great success in dealing with the epidemic. Mohamed Kawash, an Algerian public health expert, said that China’s epidemic prevention measures effectively prevented the epidemic from spreading in such a country with a very high population density during the period when COVID-19 had a high mortality rate and severe illness, which set an example for other countries. The World Health Organization believes that China’s strong measures have not only controlled the spread of the epidemic in China, but also prevented the epidemic from spreading to other countries, not only protecting the people of China, but also protecting the people of the world.

  Now, under the situation that the severe disease rate and mortality rate of Omicron mutant strain have greatly decreased compared with the previous strain, China has timely optimized and adjusted the epidemic prevention and control measures, and shifted the focus of epidemic prevention work from "preventing infection" to "protecting health and preventing severe diseases", thus creating conditions for continuing to promote stable economic and social development under the new situation. Yosamba, Secretary of State of Cambodian Ministry of Health, believes that China’s optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention and control measures is cautious and scientific, and it is a strategy based on the understanding of the nature of the virus.

  According to the changes of epidemic situation, China constantly sums up experience, scientifically adjusts and optimizes prevention and control measures, effectively reduces severe cases and deaths in China, and maintains stable economic and social development. It is not easy to achieve such achievements in a country with a huge population. As UN Secretary-General Guterres said, China has made contributions to all mankind in the global fight against the COVID-19 epidemic.

  Fully support the global fight against epidemic.

  In April and May of 2021, the little-known Brazilian town of Serrana became the focus of international public opinion. With the help of China vaccine, it has become one of the most stable cities in Brazil during the severe anti-epidemic situation. The mayor of the city, Leo Capitelli, said: "China vaccine is the best gift we have ever received."

  Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, China has been helping each other with the rest of the world, sharing anti-epidemic experience in time, rushing to help other countries with anti-epidemic materials, and actively carrying out international anti-epidemic cooperation.

  Based on the principles of legality, timeliness, openness and transparency, China shared epidemic information with the international community: report the epidemic situation to WHO at the first time, identify the pathogen at the first time, share the virus gene sequence with the world at the first time, and announce the diagnosis and treatment plan and prevention and control plan at the first time … … China has provided a scientific basis for the prevention and control of epidemic situation and the research and development of vaccines and detection reagents in the international community. On January 14th this year, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO, spoke highly of the response efforts of the China government to the COVID-19 epidemic, and thanked China for its long-term technical exchange and sharing of epidemic information and data with WHO.

  While making efforts to prevent and control its own epidemic, China has done its best to help the international community. China has provided anti-epidemic materials to 153 countries and 15 international organizations, co-organized more than 300 technical exchange activities such as epidemic prevention and control, medical treatment and so on with more than 180 countries and regions and more than 10 international organizations around the world, and sent 37 anti-epidemic medical expert groups to 34 countries. China was the first to promise the new crown vaccine as a global public product, to support the exemption of intellectual property rights in vaccine research and development, to cooperate with developing countries in vaccine production, and to supply more than 2.2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine to more than 120 countries and international organizations, thus injecting strong impetus into bridging the global "immunization gap". China actively played the role of traditional Chinese medicine, held more than 100 video exchanges and live broadcasts of anti-epidemic experts, introduced the diagnosis and treatment schemes of traditional Chinese medicine to more than 150 countries and regions, and provided traditional Chinese medicine products to some countries and regions in need.

  Kiszelly zoltan, director of the Center for Political Analysis of the zod Weger Institute in Hungary, said that China delivered several batches of COVID-19 vaccine to Hungary, which greatly promoted the large-scale immunization in Hungary. Kenyan international scholar Cavens Adehir pointed out that developing countries in Africa and other regions benefited from a large number of vaccines, medicines, medical equipment and materials supported by China.

  China’s selfless help won wide acclaim in the world.

  When the China medical expert group arrived, Serbian President Vucic kissed the five-star red flag affectionately at the airport, and March of the Volunteers rang on the streets of Rome. When the COVID-19 vaccine aided by China arrived, Zimbabwean President Mnangagwa personally held a handover ceremony at the presidential palace; The Syrian Foreign Ministry recently issued a statement thanking China for its generous assistance to Syria and other countries during the epidemic … …

  As Romina Sudak, a member of the Argentina Research Group in China, Rosario University, Argentina, said when she talked about China’s provision of vaccines to developing countries, China has implemented its long-held concept of "community of human destiny" with practical actions.

  "Stabilizer" and "Power Source" of World Economy

  On April 22, 2020, the ExxonMobil Huizhou Ethylene Project with a total investment of 10 billion US dollars was officially started, becoming the first major petrochemical project wholly owned by American enterprises in China. This year, the epidemic hit the global economy, and China took the lead in controlling the epidemic, attracting foreign capital to grow against the trend throughout the year, becoming the largest foreign capital inflow country in the world.

  On January 9, 2023, the first batch of 269 China tourists arrived in Thailand after China optimized and adjusted epidemic prevention measures, which were warmly welcomed by the Thai Deputy Prime Minister and others. With the orderly recovery of China citizens’ outbound tourism, countries around the world generally expect China tourists to inject new momentum into the global tourism recovery.

  The two scenes from Huizhou to Bangkok are a true portrayal of China’s economy effectively resisting the impact of the epidemic, continuously releasing super-large-scale market dividends to the world, and injecting momentum into the recovery of the world economy.

  China effectively coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and achieved a stable economic operation. The role of "stabilizer" and "power source" of the world economy has become increasingly prominent.

  In 2020, China will become the first major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth, with its total economic output exceeding 114 trillion yuan in 2021 and 120 trillion yuan in 2022. Youfu, president of the Israeli Chamber of Commerce, who has been in China since the outbreak, said that he saw "the resilience and potential of China’s economic development". Jorge Machini, a professor of economics at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, pointed out that during the epidemic, China has been an important trading partner and source of investment for most Latin American countries, including Argentina, which is conducive to economic stability in Latin America.

  China continues to provide high-quality products and services to the world, which has played an important role in maintaining the stability and smoothness of the global industrial chain supply chain.

  In 2022, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade increased by 7.7%, breaking through the 40 trillion yuan mark for the first time, and maintaining its position as the largest country in goods trade for six consecutive years. Especially in the most vigorous stage of global anti-epidemic, China has become one of the main suppliers of anti-epidemic materials in the world, providing support for countries around the world to fight the epidemic. Jose Ricardo Luce Jr., CEO of China, a Brazilian business leader organization, said that during the epidemic, the global industrial chain supply chain faced multiple challenges, such as logistics interruption, energy and raw materials shortage and rising prices, and China made great contributions to stabilizing the global industrial chain supply chain.

  During the epidemic period, protectionism rose in some countries, but China always insisted on promoting high-level opening to the outside world, providing new opportunities for the world with its own new development.

  From China International Import Expo(CIIE), the Service Trade Fair, the Canton Fair and the Consumer Expo to the high-quality construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, from accelerating the construction of the Pilot Free Trade Zone to the high-quality implementation of the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement, China has always embraced the world with an open attitude and promoted the construction of an open world economy with solid actions. Tian Daixiu Min, chief economist of Japanese Six Sigma Capital Company, said that China, as the main growth engine of the world economy, has always adhered to openness and free trade and played a supporting role in global economic growth.

  "The streets in Beijing are congested again, tourists are scrambling to book holidays abroad, and companies expect business activities to pick up." At the beginning of the new year, with the optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention measures, many international media have captured the positive signal that China’s economy is improving.

  Stephen Perry, chairman of 48 British group clubs, said that China’s economic growth is expected to accelerate in 2023, "which will be a major contribution to world economic growth".

Cesium content significantly increased. TEPCO announced the first round of data on the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea.

On September 12th, local time, according to the information released by Tokyo Electric Power Company in official website, as of 12: 15 noon on the 11th, the first round of discharge of nuclear polluted water from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant ended, with the cumulative discharge of 7788 cubic meters in the first round.

Tokyo Electric Power Company said that after relevant confirmation and equipment inspection, the second discharge will start as early as the second half of this month, and it is estimated that about 7,800 tons of nuclear polluted water will be discharged into the ocean.

According to official data, at present, more than 1.3 million tons of nuclear contaminated water containing radioactive substances have been accumulated at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and it is still increasing at the rate of 100 tons per day. It is estimated that in the future, Japan’s nuclear polluted water will be discharged into the sea for at least 30 years.

Affected by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, the cores of Units 1-3 of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan melted down. This is one of the most serious nuclear accidents in the world so far. After the accident, Tokyo Electric Power Company continued to inject water into the containment of Units 1 to 3 to cool the reactor core and recover sewage.

There are three main sources of radioactive wastewater from Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan: the original coolant of the reactor, the newly injected water for continuous cooling of the reactor core after the accident, and a large amount of groundwater and rainwater that infiltrated into the reactor.

One year after the Fukushima nuclear accident, in March, 2012, Tokyo Electric Power Company first measured the composition and concentration of radioactive substances contained in nuclear polluted water. The results at that time showed that there were as many as 64 kinds of radioactive elements with excessive concentrations.

Of these 64 radioactive elements, 21 have a half-life of more than 10 years, and some nuclides have a half-life of more than a thousand years.Carbon -14 and iodine -129 are the most harmful to human beings and marine life. The half-life of carbon -14 is about 5370 years, and the half-life of iodine -129 is even longer, about 15.7 million years (important data are shown in bold).Carbon -14 will accumulate in marine organisms, that is, fish, and the abundance or concentration of carbon -14 accumulation may be 50 times that of tritium.

On September 1st, Tokyo Electric Power Company of Japan announced that after the Fukushima nuclear polluted water was discharged into the sea, the Japanese side detected radioactive tritium for the first time in seawater sampled near the discharge port on August 31st. However, TEPCO claimed in the notification that the concentration of tritium was "completely safe".

The concentration of radioactive tritium in the seawater sampled this time is 10 Bekkerel per liter. According to the report, the staff set up 10 sampling points in Fiona Fang, 3km away from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The seawater from which tritium was detected this time was taken from the sampling point closest to the discharge port. The concentration of tritium in the seawater sampled at this sampling point on 24th was 2.6 Bekkerel, and the conventional analysis at that time did not reach the detection limit.

As for the sharp rise of tritium concentration in just a few days, TEPCO admitted that this was caused by the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea, but they insisted that this concentration was "completely safe".

In addition, Tide News reporters combed the monitoring data released by official website of TEPCO, and found that the content of cesium -137 detected in the water intake of units 1~4 was significantly higher than before.

Cesium -137 is usually one of the products of nuclear energy reaction, nuclear explosion or nuclear accident, which is harmful to human body because it emits beta particles and gamma rays. These rays can interact with human tissues and cause cell damage.

Chen Xin, a researcher at the South China Sea Institute of Oceanography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, once pointed out in an interview that from the perspective of diffusion path, Japanese nuclear pollution will affect the South China Sea, the East China Sea, the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in China. The North Pacific is one of the seriously polluted areas. In fact,The world can’t escape the influence of Japan’s nuclear polluted water.

During the diffusion of radioactive elements in Japan’s nuclear polluted water, radioactive nuclear elements will not only stay on the ocean surface. "It can be said that the ocean is polluted in three dimensions." Chen Xin said that the ocean is a layered system because of the different temperatures and salinities in the upper and lower layers. For example, pouring a little oil into a glass of water is equivalent to forming a two-layer system, and it is difficult for oil to enter the lower layer. But in the ocean, through the "ocean transport belt" and the vertical water exchange process, the oil originally located in the upper layer can also enter the deep layer.

As early as 2021, the team of Academician Zhang Jianmin and Associate Professor Hu Zhenzhong from the Institute of Ocean Engineering of Shenzhen International Graduate School in Tsinghua University established the diffusion model of radioactive substances at the ocean scale from macro and micro perspectives respectively, and realized the long-term simulation of the Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge plan.

The macro-simulation results show that the nuclear waste water will reach the coastal waters of China 240 days after discharge, and will reach the coast of North America and cover almost the whole North Pacific after 1200 days. Subsequently, the pollutants spread rapidly along the American coast to the South Pacific under the action of equatorial currents, and on the other hand, they transferred to the Indian Ocean through the northern Australian waters.

It is worth noting that although the pollutant discharge location is near Fukushima, with the passage of time, the high concentration area of pollutants will extend eastward along the 35°N line, and spread from the sea near East Asia to the sea near North America. On the 2400th day, the southeast coast of China was mainly light pink with low concentration, while the west coast of North America was basically covered with red with high concentration.

"The impact of nuclear polluted water entering the sea is not only reflected in the ocean current system, but also in the biological system. Through the cumulative effect of the food chain, radioactive substances will eventually enter the human body through seafood such as fish and shrimp." Chen Xin said.

The wolf is coming again.

On December 25th, 2023, nearly a year after Blizzard Games withdrew from the China market, the entry of "Netease Blizzard Composite" suddenly reached the first place in the hot search list of Weibo, which suddenly set off the game circle.

According to 36Kr, it learned from several independent sources that in the past, Blizzard negotiated with many domestic game manufacturers about the "return of national service" and finally chose to cooperate with Netease again.

The first time the news came out, the blizzard players who had been "slipped" by various rumors for a whole year could not believe it for the first time. They looked at each other in the comment area of each major platform and skillfully posted the picture that was forwarded to the patina-"the historical periodic law of national clothes". Among them, the incisive stage summary is the lesson of blood and tears accumulated by players after opening the wrong champagne again and again for more than 300 days.

So, what is the step of the periodic law this time? Or is it that the national service "refugees" who have been waiting for a long time finally have a chance to really jump out of the cycle?

Periodic law of rumors

In the memory of the old player Dayu, in the last two months alone, the gossip about the return of Blizzard has been circulated no less than three or five times.

"People are already numb." Dayu sighed. This is why, when the rumor of "Netease Blizzard Compound" was hotly debated by the whole platform, his first reaction was not to celebrate, but to doubt.

For example, at the end of last month, Dayu witnessed a hot discussion that attracted many eyeballs, and the rumored protagonist at that time was also quite weighty.

On November 30th, some media reported that Tencent’s Rubik’s Cube Studio had a live broadcast of World of Warcraft in bilibili. Although the live broadcast was suspended, it still left an imaginative screenshot, which was saved and forwarded by many players.

However, afterwards, Tencent did not give the response imagined by Blizzard players, but said that the matter was only a live test and it was over, and the rumors were not accurate. People close to Tencent explained that Rubik’s Cube Studio is one of Tencent’s self-research studios and will not represent external products.

Since then, the speculation of Tencent and Blizzard’s "marriage" has disappeared.

Besides, in the middle of this month, another company that was speculated to take over Blizzard’s national service also came forward to clarify, once again killing one of the rumors circulating in the player community.

The protagonist this time is the Oriental Pearl. On December 18th, Oriental Pearl responded to relevant questions on the investor interaction platform, saying that at present, the company has not cooperated with Blizzard Games. Please refer to the information disclosure for the company’s operation. In fact, as early as February this year, the Oriental Pearl positively denied outside speculation. Not long ago, at the third quarter performance briefing in 2023, Oriental Pearl also responded to the same investor’s questions.

Of course, the "rumors" staged in these cycles are not all groundless.

For example, people who say that Tencent enters the market will say that as one of the domestic game leaders, Tencent itself has rich experience in game agency and is likely to have the strength and willingness to take over Blizzard’s national service. For another example, the reason why the Oriental Pearl is frequently reported as the agent of Blizzard National Service is because it has a cooperative relationship with Microsoft for many years.

In 2013, Oriental Pearl and Microsoft established Shanghai Baijiahe Information Technology Development Co., Ltd., which is the sole publisher of XBOX platform game content in Microsoft Greater China. With the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft, the Oriental Pearl is naturally close to Blizzard games in the eyes of outsiders.

All in all, when the hope of the player community has nowhere to express, any clue will inevitably be over-interpreted. Over the past year, "Blizzard National Service Agent" is comparable to the mysterious pie in the entertainment circle, and stars from all walks of life can’t escape the fate of being "slipped away".

In addition to Netease, Tencent and Oriental Pearl, you can also pull out a long list of suspected candidates: Perfect World, Giant Network, century huatong, Ninth City, and even Miha Tour, which is not familiar with the end-game market …

However, even after repeated "official denial" or "no response", the enthusiasm of many Blizzard players has not completely cooled down.

On the 25th, despite his "vigilance", Dayu couldn’t help forwarding the news screenshots to his friends. His idea was very simple: "They all came first in hot search, so it’s estimated that it’s a little different."? “

Tuyuan Weibo

That night, Dayu brushed out the new video released by the game information blogger for the first time, and followed the crowd and left a sentence: "My will is as strong as steel." Not long after, players in the barrage wrote a slang tacit reply: "Oh? Mana crystal, and so on. "

Just like the addicts who are hard to get rid of the temptation in the story of World of Warcraft, although the players have been disappointed by various rumors for countless times, when the new rumor version comes, everyone can’t help but click in and look around. While arming themselves with the "historical periodic law", they all pretended to encounter each other in the next stage of rumor-telling, and then teased and exposed each other’s fragility under sunglasses.

Yes, the game circle also has its own "forever young, always in tears".

A long-awaited turning point

From another point of view, although the matter of national service agency has never been accepted, the signal of blizzard’s return has indeed increased with time. If we look back afterwards, the end of 2023 will be a key turning point.

On October 13th, after a long antitrust review, Microsoft announced the completion of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This $68.7 billion sky-high acquisition case was settled, giving Activision Blizzard a long-promised shot in the arm.

Prior to this, many domestic players believed that the bad decision to quit the China market was one of Blizzard’s many bad moves in recent years, and the acquisition of Microsoft would reverse everything. After the success of "Renewing Life", Blizzard, a legendary entertainment company, will have a chance to regain its vitality, and then all kinds of ills will be solved, including returning to China with the support of Microsoft.

You know, three or four years ago, satyanarayana nadella, CEO of Microsoft, publicly stated that the broader vision of XBOX is to ensure that 3 billion gamers can play games freely. This year, Microsoft also disclosed in the EU investigation document on the acquisition case that it is expected to cover 3 billion gamers by 2030.

For such an ambitious Microsoft, the huge base and broad prospects of China’s game market look particularly attractive, and Blizzard National Service is expected to bring new growth points to Microsoft’s game map.

In November after the acquisition came to an end, in an interview, Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard, said: "There are millions of players who love Blizzard games in Chinese mainland, and everyone in Blizzard wants to make sure that they can play our games. We are a global company, and I hope our products are spread all over the world, including Chinese mainland. "

On the other hand, in addition to matching the strategic layout of Microsoft’s game business, Activision Blizzard also ushered in a key node of personnel adjustment.

"Tan You" Hua Zhu, who has been diving in the NGA player community for many years, told me that not long ago, he saw the most exciting good news in the forum.

Since December 21st, the same news has occupied the front row of all Blizzard game sections, with the title: "Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, will step down and leave the company on December 29th". The national service players who have long resented this executive have finally waited for a good day worthy of setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

The following week, Hua Zhu repeatedly clicked on this post from different discussion forums, and then turned to the latest page with great interest, praising those comments with "unrestrained" words one by one. Reminiscent of the recent endless gossip, Huazhu finally felt the long-lost hope: "The culprit has run away, and the national service may really come back?"

There are many people who agree with this view. When Netease Blizzard was exposed to "breakup" last year, Zhu Yuan, president of global investment and cooperation of Netease Games, wrote in LinkedIn: "One day, when the behind-the-scenes situation of the incident can be disclosed to the public, developers and players will have a new understanding of how much damage an asshole can bring."

At that time, players unanimously speculated that the "jerk" he mentioned was the notorious CEO of Activision Blizzard, Bobby Kotick. You know, many scandals surrounding Activision Blizzard in recent years are almost inseparable from this CEO, including sexual harassment and cover-up, gender discrimination, workplace bullying and so on.

Judging from Netease’s high-level speech, Cotic also played an extremely disgraceful role in the matter of Blizzard’s withdrawal from the China market. It is widely believed that a series of controversial renewal conditions are directly related to Cotic’s decision.

As the acquisition continues to advance, the "culprit" who ended the transition period will officially withdraw from the historical stage of Blizzard on the occasion of the New Year. On December 21st, Bobby Cotic, CEO of Activision Blizzard, announced that he would resign on December 29th, and Lulu Meservey, chief communication officer of Activision Blizzard, will also leave in the near future.

In this winter when the blizzard is constantly releasing positive signals, the turning point of the return of the national service may have emerged.

The most reasonable ending

The drama of going around and returning to the starting point is surprising at first glance, but it is the most reasonable arrangement when you think about it carefully.

First of all, Netease Blizzard’s "compound" is obviously the solution with the lowest running-in cost.

Before leaving the domestic market, Blizzard and Netease had a cooperation history of 14 years. Through long-term operation of World of Warcraft, Hearthstone Legend, Watching Pioneer, Storm Hero, Starcraft and Diablo, Netease and Blizzard have gathered a large number of diehard players in China.

Since 2008, the cooperative relationship between the two parties not only includes the update and operation of the game itself, but also involves the operation of e-sports events, the construction of professional system and many other work. Looking back at the year when Blizzard was determined to build Watching Pioneer League, Netease was also one of the first partners to enter the game. Since the founding season, it has spent a lot of money to support Blizzard’s "NBA Dream".

Although this close alliance has produced cracks in the past year, the old partner is undoubtedly a safer choice than the difficulty of starting over with other local manufacturers. Whether it is Netease’s platform construction and operation experience, or the research and transportation cooperation results such as Diablo: Immortality, it has cut the urgent demand for Blizzard to quickly return to the national service and seek the growth point of the mobile terminal.

Secondly, the issue of version number is also the key factor that contributes to the renewal of Blizzard Netease.

On the one hand, the management and control of online games in China is detailed, which directly determines Blizzard’s decision-making thinking of seeking agents and attaching importance to the version number.

In September, 2009, the General Administration of Press and Publication, the National Copyright Administration and the Office of the National Working Group on Combating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly issued the Notice on Implementing the "Three Definitions" of the State Council and the relevant explanations of the Central Organizing Committee, and further strengthening the pre-approval of online games and the approval management of imported online games. It stipulates that foreign investors are prohibited from investing in online game operation services in China by means of sole proprietorship, joint venture and cooperation. At the same time, if an online game that has been pre-approved or imported by the General Administration of Press and Publication changes its operating unit, it must go through the pre-approval or import approval procedures again. From the date when the operating unit changes to the time when it is re-approved, online games should stop all operational services.

In December 2023, the Measures for the Administration of Online Games (Draft for Comment) issued by the State Press and Publication Administration also showed that the content of online games that have been approved for publication has undergone substantial changes, or the name of the game, the game publishing unit or the main operating institutions have been changed, and the online game publishing unit shall go through the relevant examination and approval procedures as required. In addition, no unit or individual may lend, lease, buy or sell, or apply the Network Publishing Service License, online game approval number and publication number in any form.

On the other hand, although the distribution of game version numbers has been normalized recently, the number of imported game version numbers is still relatively rare. In the past three years, the proportion of imported game version numbers in the total version number fluctuated around 10%, and the distribution interval was long.

In fact, in the past ten years when Netease operated Blizzard National Service, the particularity of the examination and approval of imported games was reflected in the actual operation more than once. Waiting for the new version to open the door and waiting for the new game to go on the market is an unforgettable group memory of the old players of Blizzard National Service.

In other words, if Blizzard intends to change the national service agent, it must go through the pre-approval or import approval procedures again. The approval of the version number of imported games is relatively difficult, and these factors will bring uncertainty to the return of national service.

Therefore, from a rational point of view, Netease Blizzard’s "compound" is really the easiest solution for the return of national clothes.

As of December 30, the two sides have not given a positive answer to this rumor. Netease said it would not respond, while Blizzard China said: "Thank you for your attention. We have no information or updates to share here at present."

However, as the rumors continued to ferment, players who raised magnifying glasses found more and more clues. Dayu told me that recently, the bloggers of blizzard game information he paid attention to have been unprecedentedly prolific, and they can bring new gossip almost every day. He summarized this state as "questioning rumors, understanding rumors and spreading rumors".

For example, in recent days, it has been found that the World of Warcraft circle in Netease’s App "Netease God" has been updated, a number of chat rooms have been built, and many announcements about the new version of World of Warcraft have been added one after another, while the news of stopping the agent released here has been quietly removed.

For example, some players noticed that after a long silence, the familiar service number of "Blizzard Game Service Center" suddenly changed to Guangdong, which is consistent with the IP information of the staff in Netease Great God App. Combined with the rumors that Netease Guangzhou restarted the recruitment of Blizzard games, the job description of "MMO game user operation+loss recall data analysis" and the additional information of "non-Netease is editing" are even more imaginative.

For another example, on the evening of December 29th, many media reported that according to Tianyancha, NetEasy (Shenzhen) Network Co., Ltd. was established on November 7th, 2023, and its legal representative was wangyi, Senior Vice President of Netease.

From this point of view, the rumors of the return this time do have the credibility that was rare before. However, the restart of the national service means huge preparatory work, and it takes time to build a team, test and adjust. Even if the news is true, players who are eager to wear it may still have to wait patiently.

Looking back, from the farce of breaking up to the complex hot search, Blizzard National Service has gone through ups and downs for a year. In the future, how to rebuild users’ trust, how to protect virtual property, and how to deal with the "lost year" will still be major questions for both partners.

Note: Dayu and Huazhu are pseudonyms.
