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".

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.

Tuyuan network

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.

Tuyuan Oriental Fortune Network

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.

Tuyuan network

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.

Bobby Cotic, CEO of Activision Blizzard, Tuyuan Network

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.

"Diablo: Immortality", one of the highlights of Blizzard’s financial report, from Weibo @ Diablo Immortality

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.

Tuyuan State Press and Publication Administration official website

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.

　　CCTV News:The reasons for the air strikes against Syria by the United States, Britain and France are nothing new, and they are related to the "chemical weapons attack". Moreover, the "accusation of chemical weapons attack" happened just when the government forces won a key victory.

　　On April 12, a group of Russian military vehicles entered the town of Donggutaduma, which was once controlled by Syrian opposition forces, through the Wafidin Pass. The Russian military said on the same day that the Syrian government has completely controlled the town of Duma. This marks the recovery of the eastern suburbs that threatened the security of the capital Damascus from the opposition in the past six years. For the Syrian government, this is a crucial victory of great significance.

　　Just five days before this, on April 7, local time, a video of a chemical attack released by Syrian opposition people began to spread rapidly on the Internet. The opposition accused the Syrian government of using chemical weapons in the Duma, killing at least 40 people. This accusation was quickly echoed by western countries. On April 8, US President Trump said in Twitter that the fighters should "pay a heavy price" and point the finger at the Syrian government, Russia and Iran. On April 10, at the UN Security Council, the United States, Britain and France, which supported the Syrian opposition, jointly submitted a draft resolution on the issue of chemical weapons in Syria, while the Russian side, which supported the Syrian government, submitted two, and the three drafts were not passed.

　　United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations Heili"The United States is determined to see the cruel people who dropped chemical weapons on the Syrian people pay the price. You have heard what the President of the United States said about this. During the meeting, even as we speak, important decisions are being weighed. "

　　Nie Bianjia, Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations"We have conveyed this message to the US through relevant channels, and launching military action against Syria under fabricated excuses may lead to serious consequences. At the request of the legitimate Syrian government, the Russian army has been deployed. "

　　Iran is also cheering for Syria. On April 12, the assistant of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made a surprise visit to Damascus, where the clouds were gathering, and met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, saying that Iran would stand shoulder to shoulder with the Syrian government.

　　Ali akbar, Assistant to the Iranian Supreme Leader"We will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Syrian government and resolutely counter the aggression against our country."

　　In the Middle East, it is well known that Iran sends weapons through Syria to support Hezbollah in Lebanon. It is reported that the air strike target of the United States includes a target of Hezbollah in the rural area of Homs, Syria.

　　Former CIA Director Urzay: "I think if the United States can’t just understate the use of force, there are many military facilities in Syria, and there is no reason not to kill them all. Some of them belong to Hezbollah in Lebanon, which is a terrorist organization. "

　　However, the US military attack on the Syrian government was also questioned by its allies. At present, there are two main fronts in Syria. One is the eastern front of Damascus, where a suspected chemical attack occurred. The other front is in northern Syria, where Kurdish forces supported by the United States compete with Syrian opposition forces supported by Turkey.

　　At present, in Mambiji, the northern front line, Kurdish armed forces are resisting 4,000 Syrian opposition armed forces supported by Turkey. The U.S. air strikes against Syria will endanger the Kurds, because the Syrian government has previously joined the camp supporting the Kurds in the north.

　　Kurdish armed commander Golde: "If the Americans are targeting the Syrian government, Turkey will have the opportunity to attack us, which is a betrayal of us."
