"Hong Kong has no democracy under British colonial rule. The China government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong and implemented ‘ One country, two systems ’ The policy has created a democratic system in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and supported its continuous development and improvement in practice. " A few days ago, the State Council issued a white paper entitled "Democratic Development in Hong Kong under" One Country, Two Systems ",which comprehensively reviewed the emergence and development of democracy in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and further clarified the central government’s principled position on democratic development in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

　　On December 27th, the State Council Office held a briefing on the white paper "Democratic Development in Hong Kong under" One Country, Two Systems ".Three experts and scholars explained the contents of the white paper and answered questions from reporters.

　　"One country, two systems" is the fundamental guarantee for the democratic development of Hong Kong.

　　The white paper points out that "one country, two systems" is not only the best solution to the Hong Kong issue left over from history, but also the best system to maintain long-term prosperity and stability after Hong Kong’s return, and the fundamental guarantee for the democratic development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

　　Wang Zhenmin, a professor at the Law School of Tsinghua University, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Research Center of Tsinghua University and vice president of the National Hong Kong and Macao Research Association, introduced that the white paper showed the real picture of Hong Kong’s democratic development in a panoramic way, organically connected many seemingly isolated historical events and stories, and clarified the historical latitude and longitude and the logical connection among them. The publication of the white paper is timely, significant and far-reaching.

　　The white paper clearly stated that "one country, two systems" provided a fundamental guarantee for the democratic development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

　　"It clarifies the ‘ in the development of democracy in Hong Kong; One country ’ And ‘ Two systems ’ The relationship between ‘ One country ’ Yes ‘ Two systems ’ The premise and foundation of ‘ Two systems ’ Dependent and derived from ‘ One country ’ , and unified in ‘ One country ’ Within. " Han Dayuan, a professor at Renmin University of China Law School and a member of the Hong Kong Basic Law Committee in the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), said.

　　"The socialist system implemented by the main body of the state and the capitalist system implemented by the special administrative region go hand in hand, but the primary and secondary relationship between them cannot be reversed." Han Dayuan emphasized that what kind of democratic system is implemented in Hong Kong is related to the relationship between the central authorities and the Special Administrative Region, and to the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong. According to the Constitution and the Basic Law, the central government has the leading power and decision-making power in the development of democracy in Hong Kong. Only under the leadership of the central government can democracy in Hong Kong develop healthily, stably and sustainably.

　　Explore the road of democratic development with Hong Kong characteristics

　　The white paper emphasizes that the constitutional status and actual situation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region under "one country, two systems" determine that the basic attribute of its political system is a local political system. Therefore, its democratic system should not copy the model of any other place, and it must follow the principle of "one country, two systems" and the Basic Law, in line with Hong Kong’s political, economic, social, cultural and historical conditions, and explore a path of democratic development with Hong Kong characteristics.

　　"Hong Kong’s political system has the attributes of local political system, so ‘ One country, two systems ’ The next election in Hong Kong is a local election. " Han Dayuan pointed out.

　　Han Dayuan said that according to the Constitution and the Basic Law, the democracy practiced in Hong Kong is an integral part of People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s national democracy. At the same time, the state has specified the main contents, procedures and basic principles of the democratic system of the Special Administrative Region through the Basic Law. Of course, as a local democracy, Hong Kong can implement a democratic system with Hong Kong characteristics different from the mainland according to the legal provisions and the actual situation of Hong Kong.

　　The white paper points out that the emphasis on "patriots ruling Hong Kong" does not mean that dissidents or advocates are not allowed to exist, nor does it mean suppressing the voices criticizing the government.

　　Han Dayuan said, "Patriot ruling Hong Kong" is the fundamental principle to improve the electoral system and promote the democratic development of Hong Kong. The principle of "Patriot ruling Hong Kong" does not mean "uniform", but emphasizes that any Hong Kong resident can participate in elections and the future governance of Hong Kong according to law as long as he upholds the position of patriotism and love for Hong Kong and does not engage in activities that endanger national sovereignty, security, development interests and Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability.

　　Hong Kong SAR has bright prospects for democratic development.

　　The white paper points out that under "one country, two systems", the prospects for democratic development in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region are bright, and the road to democracy is bound to become wider and wider.

　　"People are determined to spend more energy and resources on developing the economy, improving people’s livelihood and creating a better life, so as to lay a solid economic and social foundation for Hong Kong’s democratic and healthy development." Wang Zhenmin said.

　　Zhi Zhenfeng, a researcher at the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a researcher at the Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Research Center of the China Academy of Social Sciences, said that since the return to the motherland, Hong Kong’s business environment has been constantly improving, and it has always been at the leading level in the world. "One country, two systems" guarantees democracy and the rule of law in Hong Kong.

　　Zhi Zhenfeng suggested that Hong Kong’s education, journalism, literature and art, especially all walks of life that provide recreational products for young people, should take action to correctly understand the relationship between "one country, two systems" and democracy in Hong Kong, including young people, and to create positive, healthy and high-quality works for the sound development of democracy in Hong Kong.

　　People’s Daily (December 28, 2021, 02 edition)

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 25th (Reporter Tang Ningning, Xie Xiyao) He Yong, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said on July 25th that China had noticed that the European Commission released the preliminary findings of its anti-dumping investigation on biodiesel in China on July 19th, and proposed to impose provisional anti-dumping duties on biodiesel imported from China. China is highly concerned about the protectionist actions of the European side in the biodiesel industry.

　　Recently, the European Commission announced that it would impose a temporary anti-dumping duty of 12.8% to 36.4% on biodiesel imported from China. In this regard, He Yongqian responded at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce held on the 25th that China has always advocated the rational and prudent use of trade remedy measures, and urged the European side not to rashly adopt trade protectionist measures and resolve mutual concerns with China through dialogue and consultation.

　　"The EU is the world’s largest consumer of biodiesel. The import of biodiesel from China is to meet the huge consumer demand in the EU market and accelerate the realization of its own green transformation and energy conservation and emission reduction goals." He Yongqian said that China has repeatedly stressed that European taxation measures will only raise the cost of related products, harm the interests of related industries and consumers in the EU, and undermine the EU’s green transformation process and the overall situation of China-EU economic and trade cooperation.

　　The Spring Festival of the Year of the Rooster is approaching, and the high-end liquor market, which has been depressed for more than four years, has finally entered the sales season. Beijing Youth Daily reporter visited the market yesterday and found that Wuliangye (commonly known as Puwu), a 52-degree 500ml crystal bottle, has risen from 729 yuan to 829 yuan, while Maotai (commonly known as Pufei), a 53-degree 500ml flying bottle, is a price like a stock every day. After New Year’s Day, it stood on the step of 2,000 yuan, but later the discount promotion price was close to 1,700 yuan. Yesterday, its single bottle price fell back to the level at the end of last year — — 1280 yuan.

　　Visit: high-end liquor sells well

　　In the exclusive liquor cabinet of Carrefour supermarket in Jiandeqiao, the price tag of Puwu has changed from 729 yuan/bottle a month ago to 829 yuan/bottle, and the price of Pufei has actually dropped from 2,000 yuan per bottle to 1,280 yuan, which is the price standard at the end of last year. According to the observation of the reporter of Beiqing Daily, the price fluctuation of Pufei is like a stock, with ups and downs, almost one price a day. Last Mid-Autumn Festival and November, the retail price of its supermarket was around 1000 yuan, and it rose to 1280 yuan per bottle near New Year’s Day. After New Year’s Day, its price soared again. This time, it stood on the step of 2000 yuan in one breath, but it was quickly discounted, and the discounted price was close to 1700 yuan. But now, customers can buy a bottle of Pfeiffer for 1280 yuan, which is only more 450 yuan than Wuliangye. For consumers, the cost performance is more suitable. According to the survey, at present, in JD.COM Mall and Tmall Mall, the price of Puwu single bottle is 816 yuan, and the price of Pufei single bottle is 1288 yuan.

　　Impact: Serious shortage of stock.

　　Different from Pufei’s performance of price reduction for the market, it is said that Puwu still has the impulse of price increase. It is understood that at present, the mainstream market price of Puwu is about 780 yuan/bottle, and some insiders predict that from the current trend of brisk sales, when it enters its peak next week, the regions with better market performance are expected to break through 800 yuan/bottle. As for the reasons for the price increase, some dealers said that since January this year, all kinds of business banquets, friends gathering for drinks, and new year purchases have begun. According to dealers, another reason for the price increase of high-grade liquor is that there was a rebate phenomenon between liquor enterprises and distributors in the past. Later, manufacturers canceled the rebate policy. After canceling the rebate policy, only the price increase can make money. In fact, as early as the end of last year, the price of a batch of Puwu had exceeded 739 yuan/bottle.

　　Regarding the relatively tight sales during the Spring Festival and the serious shortage of dealers, Wuliangye said that Wuliangye was seriously out of stock in many markets across the country because of the growth of consumption during the Spring Festival peak season and various factors of logistics. The delivery time of Wuliangye is until January 21st. At present, there are indeed many requests, and most dealers are asking for increments, but the company has no limit to increase at present. Because the dealer inventory has reached the lowest point in history, only around 8%. The person in charge of Wuliangye market told the media that in January this year, the shortage of Wuliangye was not an individual regional phenomenon, and the incremental demand of dealers was more urgent.

　　Research report: Liquor market is picking up.

　　According to the analysis of Southwest Securities Research Report, this round of liquor industry is picking up, and high-end liquor is the first to achieve recovery. After shuffling during the adjustment period, the absolute advantages of Maotai, Wuliangye and Guojiao in the high-end liquor market are established, and the pattern of the strong and the strong is interpreted.

　　It is difficult for Wuliangye to surpass Maotai in the short term, but its second position is stable, and it is expected to gradually narrow the gap. Maotai’s volume and price strategy has a strong suppression effect on Wuliangye. In 2016, driven by the dual demand of terminal consumption and channel replenishment, a batch of Maotai prices rose rapidly, from 840 yuan at the beginning of the year to 1,100 yuan. The huge gap between supply and demand in the future will push the prices up continuously.

　　Benefiting from the price increase of Maotai, Wuliangye took many measures in 2016 to promote the smooth price increase of core brands, and the ex-factory price was raised from 659 yuan to 739 yuan, and at the same time, the terminal was sold at a suitable price. In 2017, the company continued to control the price, and the supply in the fifth five-year plan decreased by 25%, and the price is expected to continue to rise.
