　　　　China News Service, December 10, Zheng Xiuwen (Sammi) has undergone a major change in her personality after becoming a believer in religion in recent years. Yesterday (9), she officially accepted the baptism ceremony without makeup. During this period, Sammi came to the stage to shed tears and said the testimony of the salvation of the soul in the past three years. The fellow believers Lin Qingxia, Zheng Yuling and others who watched the ceremony were moved to tears frequently.

　　　　Sammi, who has been accused of suffering from depression, has changed his personality since becoming a Christian and has recently appeared with a smile, according to Taiwan’s Dongsen News Network. Sammi, who did not apply powder yesterday, wore black-rimmed glasses and held flowers, and arrived at the Admiralty Church Hong Kong Fu Church after 5 pm to attend the baptism. Fellow members of the congregation such as Lin Qingxia, Zheng Yuling, Kou Hongping, Yu Li, sister Sammi and former assistant Ah Shuang were present. A total of five people were baptized yesterday, including Sammi, Kou Hongping, Yu Li and Weng Ka Sui.

　　　　Everyone took the stage to tell the testimony one after another. Sammi mentioned that she couldn’t help crying when she was empty in her heart for many years. She said tearfully: "For many years, I thought that making money could fill the emptiness in my heart, so I worked hard to make money, but in the end I spent more than 1,000 days, that is, 3 years, to pursue the truth with Allah." Sharing this, Lin Qingxia, Zheng Yuling, Kou Hongping and Qiqi in the audience were moved to tears, and the believers present also wiped tears frequently. Later, Sammi said that since she left her job for 3 years, she realized that finding faith is more precious than making a lot of money, and the applause from the audience was thunderous.

　　　　During the ceremony, Sammi was extremely nervous. When the pastor asked her if she admitted that she was a sinner, Sammi replied loudly: "Yes!" Before the pastor could ask her another question, a nervous Sammi nodded and said, "Yes! I am! I admit it!" The audience laughed.

　　　　After the ceremony, Sammi did not leave immediately. She stayed in the synagogue for nearly an hour and talked with the parishioners about receiving the blessing. She did not leave until about 8 pm, accompanied by a friend. Perhaps her eyes were red because of the sharing shout, Sammi put on black sunglasses, and when asked about the baptism, Sammi smiled but did not answer, and then boarded the car of a friend to leave.

　　On March 23rd, Huawei’s spring flagship new product launch was held. Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, CEO of Consumer BG, and CEO of Smart Car Solutions BU, spoiled a lot of information about Huawei’s automotive business. At this release, Yu Chengdong still positioned the Wenjie model with "far ahead", and said, "The net promoter score of Wenjie owners is as high as 86.4%, leading traditional luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW; Wenjie ranks first in quality among all brands, higher than all car companies, and has a spontaneous combustion rate of 0."

　　In order to break through in the "inner volume" of the industry, Yu Chengdong announced that all models of Wenjie will upgrade the intelligent cockpit system Hongmeng HarmonyOS 3, and Quarter 1 will be pushed in batches in 2023. As a high-frequency touchpoint with the owner, the intelligent cockpit directly determines the experience a car brings to consumers to a certain extent. Whether it is the interaction pattern, physical space, sound, light, display, upgraded interior, or multi-screen design, HUD head-up display, streaming media rearview mirror, etc., it will bring a distinct differentiated experience for drivers and passengers, quickly grab consumers’ attention, and improve the competitiveness of the model.

　　At this press conference, Huawei also gave a detailed introduction to the details of the upcoming HarmonyOS 3, such as functions such as super desktop, PC collaboration, smart car search, Xiaoyi reminder, Xiaoyi no-wake-up and HUD highly adaptive adjustment, and added the main driver privacy mode. In addition, Yu Chengdong revealed that the high-end intelligent driving version of the two cars, Wenjie M5 and Wenjie M5 EV, will be released in April. It is worth noting that compared with the experience of Hongmeng cockpit, the level of intelligent driving ability of the previous Wenjie M5 has not reached the forward-looking position of the industry. And Yu Chengdong believes that "the two high-end intelligent driving versions released in April will bring an’unprecedented ‘intelligent driving experience."

　　The biggest advance for the Q & A M5 and Q & A M5 EV high-end intelligent driving versions to be released, whether from the teaser pictures or from the road test spy photos that have appeared before, is that the new car will be equipped with Huawei’s lidar and its corresponding auxiliary driving system, which will have the ability to pilot driving in urban areas, and does not rely on high-precision maps. "The update of high-precision maps is too slow, and the speed of obtaining them from city to city is too slow. We even have to toss a small road in Shanghai for a long time," Yu Chengdong said. Some analysts believe that in the implementation of the current urban navigation assistance driving system, there are two advantages to not relying on high-precision maps: one is to directly avoid the limitations of policy approval brought by high-precision maps, so that the plan can be quickly landed in more cities; the other is to directly subtract the cost of high-precision maps. After no longer relying on high-precision maps, the greatest convenience is that more urban users will be expected to experience the pilot assistance driving function in the urban area earlier and synchronously.

　　At present, there are three main models for Huawei’s smart car business, namely the parts supply model, the HI model and the Huawei Smart Choice model. Previously, only the HI model models were equipped with Huawei’s intelligent driving system. With the release of the high-end intelligent driving version of the M5 and M5 EV, the Qinjie series began to gradually carry Huawei’s intelligent driving system. In order to further enhance the sales and product power of Qinjie products, on the one hand, Yu Chengdong himself is increasing his investment in the Huawei Smart Choice model; on the other hand, Huawei has further strengthened its involvement in the Qinjie brand in publicity. Previously, the official account of AITO asked the world, together with all official communication pages, replaced the communication content with "HUAWEI asked the world", and at this press conference, Yu Chengdong also directly used the expression "Huawei asked the world".

　　HUAWEI is Huawei’s eco-car brand and a new business model pioneered by Huawei. This model can not only help car companies achieve commercial success, but also drive the large-scale sales of Huawei’s smart car parts. Huawei’s auto business is moving towards an accelerated stage.

Their understanding of the CC series is not only Colorful, but also Creative.

Xiaomi mobile phone new series CC debut: positioning the young trend

The global smartphone market has transitioned from an incremental market to a stock market. Under the background that the overall growth has entered a period of moderation, a brand needs a clearer and more accurate product positioning to meet the core target group it serves if it wants to continue to maintain a high growth rate beyond the industry average. After the Redmi brand is used independently, Xiaomi brand mobile phones have more imagination. On the one hand, Xiaomi brand can explore innovative technology, focus on mid-to-high-end, and pursue the ultimate experience. On the other hand, it can also focus more on market segments to make more targeted products. Xiaomi CC series is a product specially designed for young users around the world.

(Photography/Ermeng, Photography/Kakashi) On June 18, Wang Sicong attended the "Banana Curiosity Night" in Shanghai. He wanted to hold an annual program for new directors and screenwriters to realize their dreams and award prizes to the winners. "My film company has never thought of competing with the boss of the industry. The main purpose is not to make money, but to take out a little money to help the film market that I feel lacks infrastructure."

Wang Sicong wants to spend long-term to "raise" newcomers: help the underdeveloped film market

Banana Films has been spending time and energy on cultivating "people", as Wang Sicong said: "I hope that through my meager efforts, whether you are a professional or not, if you want to tell stories, if you want to be a screenwriter, if you want to be a director, if you dare to participate in our competition, I will directly reward everyone with money. Because I know that it is not easy to do any art, sometimes you want to be a screenwriter or a director, but in the early days, this job cannot support you. So I want everyone to not give up on their dreams and keep working hard. Anyway, I will do it every year."

As for the establishment of Banana Film, Wang Sicong said: "I never thought about competing with the boss of the industry when I started this film company. The main purpose is not to make money. Of course, it is good to make money. But at least for now, without the pressure of performance, we can take the money to do what we want. In fact, no one wants to do this job. Why don’t we do it if we can? I hope that I can not be too troubled by the industry and give a little money to help the film market that I feel lacks infrastructure." For the selected new directors and new screenwriters, in addition to giving high bonuses, Banana Film has also made a series of targeted plans.

Launched six new directors, the project invited senior bosses to escort

In order to discover China’s outstanding film screenwriters, Banana Film has also launched the "Banana New Screenwriters Dream Realization Project" to help the development of China’s film industry from the source. After more than eight months of selection, six high-quality screenwriters were finally selected from 3,000 participants. At the scene, Wang Sicong, Wei Xiangdong, Jiao Xiongping, Shuhuan and others presented awards to the outstanding screenwriters. Wang Yun with "I and my Hugh Grant" stand out from three thousand people won the first prize exclusive 1.50 million prize, Shen Dawei’s "mirror world", Guo Shuai’s "man to death is still young" won the second prize with 1.20 million dream bonus, Chai Churan with "I am a big star", Liu Xiaofeng with "genius screenwriter", Yin David with "movie watching you" won the third prize and won the 800,000 dream bonus.

Wei Xiangdong, referring to the development of outstanding directors discovered in the first banana new director excavation plan during this year, said: "We have opened a master elite class, recommended them to go to the big director crew to learn in real combat, and through internal grinding, some of them have already started to prepare their own projects."

In keeping with Banana’s promise that "when you are selected, you will have a place to play", six major projects directed by five new directors were officially announced on the spot. "Days of Living with the Villain" by Wen Nhat Hanh is a strategic cooperation with the NetEase literary platform, while "The God of Cooking" is a cooperation project with the iQIYI Yunteng Project. "Lily Cherry" was originally created and directed by Mao Yongsheng, the first winner of the new banana director’s digging project last year. "Me and My Hugh Grant" directed by Cui Rui is the work of the first winner of this year’s new screenwriting, and the cinematographer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was specially invited to be the executive producer of the film. Qiu Xinda’s "I Am a Big Star" is also the work of this year’s winning screenwriter. Yao Bo’s "For N" was adapted from excellent literary works and collaborated with gold-medal screenwriter Yuan Yuan. Wei Xiangdong assured on the spot: "I want to tell all the screenwriters that all six of your scripts will be filmed, and at the same time, you will be accompanied by excellent senior industry professionals to escort these projects, which is like helping us get through the two veins of Ren and Governor in our creation."

　　On July 17, Mingdao, the female group talent show "The Strongest Girl Group" with Mingdao as the general commander, ushered in a new episode of the program recording. The general commander Mingdao accepted a group visit from the national media on the day of the recording. It is reported that Mingdao invited the popular Korean women’s group SISTAR to come to help out and serve as Mingdao’s star staff. The climax of the recording scene continued, and the encounter between the Chinese and Korean women’s groups was full of sparks.

　　SISTAR shouts coquettishly at Oppa, Ming Dao calls out that he wants to get married

　　At the scene, SISTAR turned on coquettish mode, and the four of them took turns calling Oba to Ming Dao, which was especially useful. When asked what it was like to be called Oba by the four girls, Ming Dao shouted "I am also at the age where I should get married this year", boldly confessing, triggering a pink craze on the scene.

　　Mingdao learns Korean for SISTAR and hopes to be more rigorous with players

　　Asked during the interview if SISTAR was familiar with Ming Dao, SISTAR said: "I have followed on TV and on the Internet. I finally met this time. I hope we can get to know each other better and make good friends in the future." For the arrival of the popular Korean group SISTAR, Ming Dao also made full preparations in advance. Ming Dao, who has always been gifted in language, learned Korean privately. Among them, the Korean language of "soju" is the best. SISTAR was surprised to hear that, and Doshun laughed and said that he "loves drinking rice wine."

　　This is an exchange between China and South Korea. On stage, Mingdao asked SISTAR members to show their versatile charm, let the members of the strongest girl group learn and learn from them, and learn from SISTAR about the cultivation of girls’ uniqueness. "Before, only a single group member was invited, but this time SISTAR is the entire girl group. It will be the most complete guidance since the opening of’The Strongest Girl Group ‘, and it will be a mature guidance for the Korean team," Mingdao said in an interview. When Mingdao asked if SISTAR would give strict guidance if the players of the strongest girl group did not perform well, SISTAR said with a smile: "No, we hope to explore the advantages of the strongest girl group and amplify the advantages." But Ming Dao was obviously not satisfied with this answer, saying that he hoped that SISTAR, as a star advisor, could be more severe and make the players of the strongest women’s team better.

　　The standard for choosing a girlfriend is more life-like, and I don’t plan to move to the background at this stage.

　　For the show "The Strongest Girl Group", Ming Dao has been paying attention to the contestants’ growth step by step since the live broadcast stage of the show, and has poured a lot of effort and emotion into them. A reporter asked if the members of the girl group would have a feeling of choosing a girlfriend, Ming Dao answered seriously: "No, I am a person whose work and life are very separate. Choosing a girl group mainly depends on their state on the stage. Of course, singing and dancing must be available. Artists must be able to express themselves on the stage and make the audience feel comfortable and smooth. And choosing a girlfriend requires understanding the other party’s private life habits, such as whether they like to eat western food or Chinese food."

　　Asked if she planned to shift her focus behind the scenes in this girl group talent show, Ming Dao responded: "No, I just broadened my work area. In terms of acting, I will be more careful in choosing roles."

Fan Bingbing was strongly doubted

　　　　"Natural beauty is hard to give up, and it is always on the side of the king. Looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai has no color." Concubine Yang, one of China’s "four beautiful women", has always been a representative of plump beauty. Her story has also been filmed into film and television works countless times, including the recent TV series "Datang Furong Garden" on CCTV’s eight go LIVE sets. However, with the hit of the show, the role of Concubine Yang in the play by Fan Bingbing has attracted strong criticism from many viewers, and even evolved into a huge verbal attack on the Internet.

　　　　The netizens strongly questioned

　　　　Unlike some historical dramas, "Datang Furong Garden" only talks about love and not politics, and positions Yang Guifei as a "pure" woman. According to the director’s conception, Yang Guifei in the play should be "pure enough to make men’s hearts shake and women jealous." However, after the appearance of Yang Guifei played by Fan Bingbing, not only did she not charm the audience, but also attracted waves of strong doubts.

　　　　"By letting Fan Bingbing play Yang Yuhuan, in addition to making the audience feel despair, even the Chinese idiom is about to despair. How can I change the’Huanfei Yan Thin ‘? Looking at her thin face, how can there be any smell of Yang Guifei?" "Fan Bingbing doesn’t look like a favorite concubine in a prosperous age at all – graceful and natural charm; always looks like a small family jasper, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Yang Guifei’s maid." Many viewers also pointed out that in the famous "Neon Clothes Dance", Fan Bingbing actually used a lot of double shots, which seemed very fake. "When Fan Bingbing dances, he just swings his sleeves up, turns left and right, and has no charm."

　　　　Fan Bingbing is quite aggrieved

　　　　Faced with various criticisms from the audience, Fan Bingbing looked rather aggrieved: "Zang Jinsheng, who played An Lushan, said that he had studied relevant historical materials. The real Yang Yuhuan’s measurements are only a little bigger than mine, not so fat, and his height is shorter than mine, about 1.55 meters to 1.60 meters, so the thin version of Yang Guifei is not without basis." Fan Bingbing defended himself against the accusation of lack of temperament: "I am emotionally confident, and taking this play shows that I have confidence. I think everyone is too harsh on me, because the feelings in the play are very delicate, and the role positioning and history are inherently different."

　　　　As for the dance stuntman, Fan Bingbing explained: "The’Nishang Feather Dancing ‘is very famous, and I originally hoped to be able to complete it myself, but I didn’t learn dance after all. In the end, many scenes were shot by dance teachers as stuntmen, which is my biggest regret in filming the drama!"

　　　　Zhou Xiaowen was a little angry

　　　　The director Zhou Xiaowen looked a little angry in the face of the audience’s criticism: "Who said that Concubine Yang Guifei must be a fat woman? Who has seen it? Let him find me! Saying that Concubine Yang Guifei is fat is the imagination of literati. When I shoot Yang Yuhuan, I want to show the image of a’pure ‘woman. It doesn’t matter if she is fat or thin." (Fan Dongbo)

　　As a work that first broke into the film industry, Li Zonghan’s role in "Lu Zhu" in "Sword Rain" was obviously a great success. Not only did he perfectly show the compassion and infatuation of the wonderful monk, but he also performed another classic love confession "Stone Bridge Chan" for female audiences. Lu Zhu’s affectionate style and sacrifice touched countless audiences, but the actor Li Zonghan made a surprising statement, saying that "Lu Zhu died of mental cleanliness."

　　In "Sword Rain", Li Zonghan plays a Buddhist monk who is the best in the world in terms of martial arts. He has been practicing in Shaolin for twenty-seven years, but when he is about to be officially shaved, he has moved his mortal heart. The woman he loves is still a female devil who murders without blinking an eye. Lu Zhu entangled with "Drizzle" for nearly three months, and finally enlightened the female killer with his life. Not only did he persuade "Drizzle" to turn back, but he also let himself break the fate of evil. "I would like to be transformed into a stone bridge, exposed to five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain, only wishing you could walk across the bridge." This death vow made by Lu Zhu before his death also successfully hit the tear glands of the audience.

　　When it comes to the role of Lu Zhu, Li Zonghan’s words are amazing, "Lu Zhu is a person who pursues perfection, and his death is due to his spiritual cleanliness." The little prince of the constellation defined Lu Zhu as a Virgo man when assigning constellations to the twelve characters in "Sword Rain", and Li Zonghan agreed with this. "Lu Zhu has a spiritual cleanliness, he pursues perfection, he cultivates martial arts and Buddhism to the best of nobody, and he loves in the extreme way. So when he found that he could not balance love and faith, he chose to use his death to influence others and fulfill others."

　　Li Zonghan said that he was deeply attracted by the role of Lu Zhu when he got the script. "Lu Zhu is a pure and extreme man. He sees everything in the world very thoroughly, including love is also a kind of’big love ‘, and there is no selfishness. It is easy and difficult to figure out such a character, but he is not too complicated
　

The 73rd Cannes Film Festival was originally scheduled to be held from May 12 to 23

1905 movie network feature "We have a tradition that Cannes is the first sign of summer."The artistic director of the Cannes International Film Festival, Fermat, recently expressed the hope that the epidemic will end as soon as possible in mid-May, and the festival will be held as scheduled from May 12 to May 23. But judging from the current situation, such an idea is too optimistic.

In addition to Cannes, several recent film festivals originally scheduled to be held in March, April and May have been postponed or cancelled,Including the French Real Film Festival, the South by Southwest Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, and the Miami Film Festival.So far, the official statement of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee is:The cancellation or postponement will not be announced until at least April 15, the eve of the announcement of the entry list.

Why is Cannes still "struggling"?

It was first rumored to be because of the insurance premium. If cancelled, a French insurance company could compensate 2 million euros, but the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival has refused. However, this year’s festival’s operating budget is 32 million euros, which is not a big deal for Cannes.The president of the festival, Pierre Lescule, also said that even if it is cancelled, it will have little impact on the financial operation of the festival itself, because the festival has certain reserves and fund support.

The main reason is still to go back to the movie itself.

As one of the largest international film festivals in the world, there are not only red carpets and starlight, but also hundreds of new films from all over the world participate in competitions and screenings every year, especially for art films, where you can enjoy large-scale international exposure and discussion.

Last year, for example, Diao Yinan’s directorship and Hu Ge’s starring role were shortlisted for the main competition, and the new director’s work also received praise in the parallel section. With the help of the Cannes platform, these new Chinese-language films first earn enough popularity overseas, which is also good for the promotion of their release in China.

At the same time, thousands of films are also traded in the Cannes Film Market for international sales of copyrights and distribution every year.For example, Jia Zhangke’s works in 2015, which were shortlisted for the main competition unit in Cannes that year, cost about 40 million yuan, and the cost has been recovered through overseas copyright sales on platforms such as the Cannes market on the eve of domestic release.

2019 Cannes Film Palace

The entire Cannes Film Festival team is still working on contingency measures, such as limiting the number of spectators in cinemas and other venues. But the French government has announced a law-wide ban on gatherings of more than 100 people.According to statistics, the Cannes Film Festival attracted about 60,000 participants every day last year. If the ban continues until May, how can the festival scale down the event to meet the standards? Then how many people are willing to take the risk to participate in the event?

If cancellations are confirmed, a number of international studios and agencies have also agreed to jointly create an online marketplace in early May, including promoting new films to buyers, showing flowers or samples, etc. However, such remedial measures will still affect market transactions.

The Cannes International Film Festival has been cancelled three times since its first edition in 1946.It was suspended in 1948 and 1950 due to financial difficulties, and in 1968 due to the impact of the "May storm", when Truffaut, Godard and other French New Wave directors jointly blocked the screening of the film, and the festival was forced to suspend.

Directors such as Truffaut and Godard block Cannes film screening

Half a century later, the number of new films produced has increased sharply year by year. If it is cancelled this year, it will be difficult for many films originally scheduled to appear in Cannes to compete with other new films and squeeze into subsequent film festivals, such as the Venice and Toronto film festivals. If it is postponed, it will be difficult for Cannes to find a suitable time to resume.

So the question of what to do now is to point the debut stage to Cannes or other major films at festivals that have been postponed or cancelled.

Chinese Discourse

First of all, from the perspective of Chinese films, there are three major directors’ new works poised for release:Xu Anhua’s, Tian Zhuangzhuang’s and Zhang Yimou’s.

Adapted from a classic novel by Zhang Ailing and starring Ma Sichun and Peng Yuyan, "First Incense" has attracted much attention in the industry. The film was completed in mainland scenes at the end of July last year, and its first stills were also exposed at the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year.

　　In June 2016, after the release of the "Opinions of the State Council on Establishing Fair Competition and Censorship in the Construction of the Market System" (hereinafter referred to as Document No. 34), in 2017, all provinces and cities across the country began to establish rules and regulations, and fully implemented Document No. 34. 31 provinces have issued implementation plans or implementation measures.

　　The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council, together with relevant departments, studied and formulated the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Fair Competition Censorship (Interim) " (hereinafter referred to as the "Detailed Rules"), which were approved by the State Council and issued in October 2017. The industry unanimously commented that "another boot has landed" to allow the fair competition review to enter the substantive implementation stage.

　　19 provinces were included in the performance appraisal

　　"Legal Daily" reporters found that since the release of Article 34, all ministries and commissions of the State Council have established a fair competition review mechanism; 31 provinces have issued implementation plans to carry out the review work in an orderly manner. It is particularly noteworthy that 19 of these 31 provinces have proposed to establish and improve the government affairs and administrative commitment assessment system and improve the accountability mechanism for fair competition review.

　　Six provinces – Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Jiangxi, Hebei and Qinghai – called for stronger accountability and the establishment of a system of assessment, supervision and accountability for fair competition review work. Taking Jiangxi Province as an example, the Provincial Fair Competition Review Joint Conference Office and relevant industry authorities should strengthen the assessment and supervision of fair competition review work, and local governments and departments that fail to conduct fair competition review or violate fair competition review standards and introduce policies and measures, as well as fail to correct relevant policies and measures in a timely manner, must be seriously accountable.

　　In addition, more than 10 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) including Shanghai, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and Shandong have proposed to improve the evaluation mechanism and encourage the government to purchase services and entrust third parties to carry out evaluations. Evaluation reports should be open to the public for comments, and evaluation results should be open to the public.

　　The rules ensure that the review is left behind

　　At the end of October 2017, the "Detailed Rules" jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council were officially issued. Non-review and non-serious review in the practice of fair competition review are the primary issues to be solved by the "Detailed Rules".

　　To this end, the "Detailed Rules" mainly strengthen the procedural constraints on the fair competition review work in the following aspects: clarify the internal review mechanism, require the formation of written review conclusions, refine the rules and procedures for soliciting opinions, and establish a regular reporting system. More notably, the "Detailed Rules" further clarify the issue of supervision and reporting and accountability, and stipulate that any unit or individual can report to the policy-making authority or report to the superior authority or the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency if the review is not conducted or the review standards are violated.

　　Professor Shi Jianzhong, a member of the Expert Advisory Group of the Anti-Monopoly Committee of the State Council and Vice President of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that it is far from enough to establish fair competition censorship, and the cage of the system must be further tightened and tightened. The Detailed Rules explain and refine the relevant provisions of fair competition censorship from the aspects of review mechanisms and procedures, review standards, exception provisions, social supervision, and accountability, ensuring that fair competition review becomes a necessary procedure before the introduction of policies and measures, ensuring that review leaves traces, avoiding self-censorship as a formality, and preventing perfunctory.

　　Investigate and punish restrictions on competition

　　In July 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission disclosed that the National Development and Reform Commission and the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission investigated and found that the Chengdu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission organized a special coordination meeting and issued meeting notes, requiring municipal state-owned enterprises and their wholly-owned and controlling subsidiaries (sub) companies to give priority to insurance services provided by local state-owned enterprises under the same conditions of price and service. Chengdu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission took the initiative to issue a document to abolish the above meeting notes.

　　Rather than establishing rules and regulations, the public is more concerned about practical actions. As fair competition censorship has gradually and solidly advanced across the country, in 2017, many local governments began to strictly review their respective policy documents in accordance with the spirit of Circular 34. During the year, many acts of restricting competition or abusing administrative power to interfere with market competition order have been corrected or are being corrected.

　　According to a person from the Price Supervision Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, there are currently more than 40 cases of abuse of administrative power to exclude and restrict competition that have been completed or are being handled in various places, and will be disclosed one after another in the near future.

　　On December 5, 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "2017-2018 Work Plan for Cleaning Up Existing Policies to Exclude and Restrict Competition".

　　According to the plan, by May 2018, all departments of the State Council and local people’s governments at all levels and their subordinate departments will form a conclusion on the policies and measures to eliminate and restrict competition, and repeal or adjust them according to the procedures. Before July 2018, local people’s governments at all levels and their subordinate departments will conduct a comprehensive summary of the clean-up work, form a written report, and report it level by level. Before November 2018, the inter-ministerial joint conference on fair competition review will organize inspections of the clean-up work of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and departments, and correct those that are not in place.

　　Supervision network ride-hailing local policy

　　In 2017, the biggest challenge to fair competition censorship was the introduction of local policies on ride-hailing. Many people use local policies on ride-hailing as "test strips" to test whether fair competition reviews are real.

　　New regulations on ride-hailing in many places have set up obstacles to the relevant conditions of "people and cars", and "deliberately" shrinking the policy space given to the online car-hailing industry by the Ministry of Transport. In response, Beijing Tianyuan Law Firm recently reported to the relevant anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies that "the detailed rules of online car-hailing in some cities are suspected of violating fair competition censorship and are suspected of abusing administrative power to exclude and restrict competition." At present, the National Development and Reform Commission has started to investigate the situation of local online car-hailing fair competition reviews.

　　Under the supervision of the National Development and Reform Commission, in September 2017, Quanzhou, Fujian and Lanzhou, Gansu Province successively revised the previously formulated detailed rules for the implementation of online car-hailing. The adjustment direction includes weakening the personal and household registration restrictions on online car-hailing drivers, lowering the price and technical conditions requirements for online car-hailing vehicles, canceling access restrictions on online car-hailing vehicles and drivers, and canceling other unreasonable restrictions that violate the requirements of the market economy.

　　According to a relevant person from the Price Supervision Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, many local governments are not copying or forwarding documents in implementing the spirit of Document No. 34, but actually conducting censorship, which is why there are more than 40 cases mentioned above. This is also closely related to the efforts of the development and reform departments to initiate and organize local administrative departments to train and study Document No. 34 and the Detailed Rules. At present, some local governments, especially at the grass-roots municipal and county levels, need to speed up the implementation of fair competition censorship, establish relevant working mechanisms as soon as possible, and really move. In addition, local governments need to come up with practical solutions in specific work implementation, such as the problem of "stock clearance".
