The Ministry of Public Security held a press conference today (14th) to inform the national anti-smuggling departments of the effectiveness of measures to severely crack down on smuggling crimes. According to the press conference, since 2023, the national anti-smuggling department has filed a total of 2,520 illegal and criminal cases such as smuggling, with a case value of 66.35 billion yuan, which has continuously and effectively curbed the high incidence of smuggling crimes.

In cracking down on the smuggling of "foreign garbage" in accordance with the law, the "blue sky" special crackdown has been organized for seven consecutive years since 2017, and the smuggling activities such as hiding, false reporting, false reporting, dumping goods and bypassing customs clearance in freight channels have been implemented continuously, with high density, clustering and full chain crackdown, and the "foreign garbage" has been resolutely blocked out of the country.

In terms of cracking down on the smuggling of endangered animals and plants and their products in accordance with the law, the national anti-smuggling department has deployed special actions of "guarding" and "guarding" to resolutely and accurately crack down on the smuggling of endangered animals and plants and their products such as ivory, pangolin scales, mahogany, etc., and successively cracked a series of extraordinarily large smuggling projects of endangered animals and plants and their products, busted a number of smuggling criminal gangs at home and abroad, shut down a number of illegal online sales platforms, and investigated 2,130 smuggling crimes of endangered animals and plants and their products.

In the aspect of cracking down on duty-free "set purchase" smuggling in outlying islands in accordance with the law, the organization has established a "1+N" (Haikou Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau+other national customs anti-smuggling bureaus) joint prevention and control mechanism to crack down on duty-free "set purchase" smuggling in outlying islands in Hainan, focusing on promoting joint prevention and control of anti-smuggling in Hainan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and carrying out all-field coordination, all-round linkage, system-wide control and full-chain attack to form a joint prevention and control system for anti-smuggling in free trade ports.

In May this year, the Ministry of Public Security and the General Administration of Customs launched a joint special campaign of "Escort 2023" to severely crack down on the duty-free "set purchase" smuggling of Hainan’s outlying islands. In the past two years, a total of 518 cases and more than 2,000 administrative cases of duty-free "set purchasing" smuggling in Hainan’s outlying islands have been filed for investigation, with a case value of 2 billion yuan.

In addition, the anti-smuggling department severely cracked down on "water passengers" and cross-border smuggling at sea in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, severely cracked down on the smuggling of "guns and drugs" in accordance with the law, and resolutely guarded the security of the country. The anti-smuggling department also severely cracked down on the smuggling of key tax-related commodities and illegal and criminal activities involving entry-exit inspection and quarantine, and continuously optimized the business environment. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the national anti-smuggling departments have investigated and dealt with 1,894 serious smuggling crimes involving tax evasion of more than 10 million yuan, with a case value of 475.19 billion yuan and 101.87 billion yuan suspected of tax evasion.

[Editor’s note]

　　　　　　　　Since October 2014, Dresden, Germany and other places have set off the upsurge of "PEGIDA" parade. On January 12, 2015, five days after the attack on Charlie Hebdo in France, more than 25,000 people in Dresden held demonstrations again. In just a few months, the "PEGIDA" parade has caused quite a shock in German political circles. So, what is this "PEGIDA" parade? Who organized it first? Why do some Germans support and participate in such a parade? How did the "PEGIDA" March affect German politics? Scholar Jun will answer you one by one.

More than 25,000 people in Dresden participated in the "PEGIDA" demonstration. Oriental IC diagram

What is the "PEGIDA" parade?

　 　 　 　 The full name of "PEGIDA" in German is: Patriotische Europe Gegen Die Islamisierung des Abend Landes. Translated into Chinese, "patriotic Europeans oppose Islamization in the West".

　　　　　　　　In recent years, the number of immigrants (especially Muslim immigrants) in Germany has been increasing, which is a very important background for the "PEGIDA" parade. In 2014 alone, at least 200,000 foreigners poured into Germany. Most of these outsiders come from the turbulent Middle East and take Islam as their religious belief, which is very different from the German people who are born and raised in Christianity.　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　Therefore, there are two main political demands of the demonstrators: one is to defend the values shared by Judaism and Christianity; The second is to take more stringent measures to limit the increasing number of immigrants (especially Muslim immigrants) in Europe.　 　 　 　

　Who organized the "PEGIDA" parade first?

　　　　　　　　Only three months ago, Lutz Bachmann was only a chef. Like many people, he will post some photos of himself on Facebook to share his life with his friends. If it weren’t for a parade called "PEGIDA", Bachemani would live a quiet and stable life like most Germans. But now, his life has completely changed. He is still a chef, but he also has another identity: the initiator of the "PEGIDA" parade.　 　 　 　

　　　　　　　　Bachemani, 41, was born in the eastern German city of Dresden. In 1998, he was sentenced to three and a half years’ imprisonment by the local court for theft. Fearing imprisonment, Bachemani fled to South Africa, but was sent back to Germany soon, and his crime was also added, that is, drug trafficking.　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　Last October, a serious conflict broke out between the Kurdish and Muslim ethnic groups in Hamburg and Celle, Germany. Bachemani then launched a March against immigrants on Facebook. Unexpectedly, his call was echoed by many local people, and Dresden gradually became the base camp of the "PEGIDA" parade.　 　 　 　

Why do some Germans support and participate in such a parade?

　 　 　 　 As mentioned earlier, the demonstrators hope to take more severe measures to limit the increasing number of immigrants (especially Muslim immigrants) in Europe. A realistic and direct reason is that these people believe that the increase of immigrants has reduced their employment opportunities and social welfare.

　 　 　 　 In recent years, European countries have been mired in the sovereign debt crisis and their economic recovery has been weak. Although the German economy has always maintained a good development in the European continent, the German government has to cut social public welfare expenditure due to the economic situation in Europe as a whole. Even with the reduction of public welfare expenditure, the German government did not limit the number of immigrants, which also caused a considerable number of Germans’ dissatisfaction, and this part of the German people transferred this dissatisfaction to immigrants.　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　Some Germans said that they felt that they had been "ignored" by this country, while immigrants received great attention. As 61-year-old Eugen Peuke said in the demonstration on January 12th, "Immigrants are a big problem for us. They are stealing our jobs and benefits. I don’t want them to stay in Germany, but the government has ignored our voices."　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　Bachemani, the initiator of the "PEGIDA" March, has also said on some occasions before that foreign immigrants are eroding the social welfare that the German people should enjoy. "Now many old people can’t even afford Christmas cake." He said this at a rally.　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　Other people support and participate in such demonstrations because they are worried about terrorist attacks. In the eyes of these people, the "asylum" request made by some Middle Eastern refugees is actually a cover, and their real purpose is to create terrorist attacks in Germany. Therefore, in the "PEGIDA" demonstrations, slogans such as "Stop the deception of asylum, please go back" can often be seen.　 　 　 　　　 　 　 　　

How did the "PEGIDA" March affect German politics?　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　According to Bachemani, he doesn’t want PEGIDA to develop into a political party. However, in the current "PEGIDA" demonstration, there are many members of the far-right party "National Democratic Party of Germany", who try to gain the political support of ultra-conservatives and neo-Nazis by excluding Muslims, so as to accumulate more political energy and chips for them in the future German parliamentary elections.　 　 　 　

　　　　　　　　In this regard, many German politicians, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, have a clear understanding. In a New Year speech, Merkel called on the German people not to participate in the "PEGIDA" parade. "Don’t follow those biased, cold and hateful calls." She said in her speech.　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　Last Tuesday, many heavyweight politicians, including former German Chancellor Schroeder, Schmidt and current Foreign Minister Steinmeier, published their photos in the German Bild, calling on people to say "no" to the "PEGIDA" parade.　 　 　 　　

　　　　　　　　Some analysts believe that the rise of the "PEGIDA" parade will further highlight ethnic conflicts in Germany in the future, and the far-right party "German National Democratic Party" is likely to gain the support of more and more people like the French "National Front", which will also bring more challenges to the current ruling party.

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　

　　Beijing social insurance new information management system was officially launched on October 20th! From now on, relevant functions will resume operation, and social security business can be declared normally. At the same time, the city is carrying out the activity of "social security services into ten thousand households", and the staff will explain the new system as well as the policies when they walk into the enterprise. So, what changes have been made in business handling after the switch between the old and new systems? Come and have a look.

　　Change 1

　　Brand new login website　

　　The website of "Beijing Social Insurance Online Service Platform" has been completely upgraded. The new system has no maintenance period and is open 24 hours a day all month.

　　Keep in mind the new website:

　　https://fuwu.rsj.beijing.gov.cn/zhrs/yltc/

　　Change 2

　　All-service and all-link network office

　　Change 3

　　Colleagues in the whole city share the same standard

　　Colleagues in the whole city have the same standard, the handling documents are standardized, and the acceptance matters, application materials and approval processes are unified throughout the city. The handling institution implements the one-window acceptance of comprehensive tellers, which is consistent with the content filled in online procedures, and the staff guides the unit or individual to complete identity verification, business declaration and material uploading on the spot.

　　Change 4

　　Increase the application of shared information data

　　Linked with the data of market supervision bureau, civil affairs bureau and other relevant departments, when the company handles social insurance registration, information change, cancellation and other businesses, the system will immediately receive the data of relevant departments, fill in the corresponding forms, and complete some businesses directly, without the need for the company to submit materials to handle the business.

　　Change 5

　　Trial separation reduces waiting

　　Business declaration and business audit are handled separately.

　　The instant business is automatically and immediately audited by the system intelligence, and the result is "immediately acceptable"; For businesses that need manual audit, you can upload materials for background audit, and you don’t need to run again in the whole process, so you can check the handling situation at any time.

　　Change 6

　　Online and offline results are investigated throughout the city

　　Online and offline access to personal rights records, reporting audit progress, business audit results, return results forms and other businesses, insured units and individuals can choose their own query methods. The city is not restricted by administrative regions and can be queried.

　　Change 7

　　Shorten the payment cycle of one-time treatment

　　When applying for one-time treatment, the social security agency will allocate funds to the personal account as soon as possible after examination and confirmation, shortening the period of one-time treatment.

　　Change 8

　　Increase the application of electronic seal

　　The application of electronic seal is added to the new system. When handling business, the unit only provides application materials, and the system generates a form of handling results, which is automatically stamped with an electronic seal consistent with the rights record. Online and offline seals are consistent, and the units that handle online can also obtain the stamp form, so there is no need to go to the site to stamp it.

　　Change 9

　　Business is handled according to the scene, and to-do tips are added

　　Units and individuals can view the push information of business to-do items after logging in. When handling social security business, the processing steps are prompted, and the related business is automatically triggered, so that the related matters can be packaged and handled at one time. At the same time, different data items to be collected and different business materials to accurately correspond to business scenarios can be displayed in the same application business page according to different situations of units and personnel.

　　Change 10

　　Add the function of generating business processing preview table.

　　Units and individuals can view the preview of business results, check and estimate the amount in the process of business handling, and can understand the business situation from multiple angles.

　　Change 11

　　Open up more business matters that individuals can handle

　　Increase the business items that individuals can handle, such as personal information change and personal account return. Those who are not employed or have left the company do not need to rely on the company, but can directly log in to the system to handle it themselves.

　　Change 12

　　Adjust the electronic data acquisition mode

　　Social security business declaration no longer uses "Enterprise Edition Software" as a tool to collect electronic data and print reports offline. Online and offline, the same batch business declaration template (excel table format) can be used to export and import electronic data. For the five-insurance business handled in cooperation with the medical insurance department, the business information will be automatically pushed to the medical insurance department after the social security application is successful.

　　Tips

　　In order to implement Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security’s requirements on social insurance registration, employment unemployment registration, information sharing and business collaboration, and improve the experience of employers and individuals in human social security services, the Notice of Beijing Social Insurance Fund Management Center on Further Improving the Mode of Social Insurance Registration Information Sharing and Business Collaboration will be issued simultaneously during the launch of the new system, which makes it clear that the three businesses of social insurance registration, employment unemployment registration and employment filing are uniformly registered, and the business processes and forms have changed.

　　In the follow-up, graphic guides related to the new social security information management system will be released one after another to guide the operation of various businesses, and pop-up prompts will also be set up on the online application platform. At present, the city is carrying out the activity of "social security service into ten thousand families", and the staff will go into the enterprise to explain the new system to everyone, and all districts in the city will also popularize new changes through various forms of training. Stay tuned!

　　Overseas networkFebruary 25 thPeskov, spokesman of Russian President, told the media on Monday (25th) that although Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in his annual State of the Union address submitted to the Russian Federal Parliament on February 20th that Russia would deal with the medium-range and short-range missiles that the United States might deploy in Eastern Europe in proportion, Putin did not directly point out any geographical locations that Russian missiles might target.

　　According to the Tass news agency, peskov pointed out that if Russia is threatened and deployed with medium-range and short-range missiles near its border, Russia must respond accordingly. Russian missiles will not only target launchers, but also target the territory where the decision-making center is located. However, he changed the subject and pointed out that "please remember that President Putin did not mention a geographical name in this regard".

　　According to reports, after Putin finished his State of the Union address last week, Russian Channel 1 (Rossiya-1) speculated that Russian missiles might be aimed at targets in the United States. Peskov declined to comment on this. He said that in this special case, this question should be directed at Russian Channel 1, which broadcasts programs. Why do they think so?

　　According to an overseas network report earlier, on February 20th, local time, Putin issued an annual State of the Union address warning that if the United States deploys short-and medium-range missiles in Europe, Russia will be forced to take the same measures to aim the missiles at "missile deployment sites" and "deployment decision sites". Putin accused the United States of sabotaging Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, saying that the United States has been violating the agreement in subtle ways, such as deploying a land-based Aegis system compatible with Tomahawk in Eastern Europe. The United States should honestly put forward the basis for its withdrawal from Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, instead of making irresponsible accusations against the Russians.

　　Putin stated that Russia will not take the lead in deploying short-and medium-range missiles in Europe, but if the United States deploys such missiles in Europe, Russia will be forced to take equal and asymmetric measures. Russia will not only target the missile launch site, but also target the "decision-making place for deploying missiles." Putin also stressed that Russia’s military actions are defensive in nature in response to the reaction of the United States and its allies, aiming at dispelling other countries’ delusions of using force against Russia. "Russia wants peace."

　　It is understood that Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty’s full name is the Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union on the Elimination of Medium-range and Short-range Missiles between the Two Countries, which was signed by US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Washington on December 8, 1987. The treaty prohibits both sides from testing, producing and deploying land-based cruise missiles and ballistic missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers, but does not impose restrictions on sea-based and air-launched cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.

　　In recent years, the United States and Russia have repeatedly accused each other of violating the treaty. On October 20th last year, US President Trump said that the United States intended to withdraw from Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, and said that the United States needed to develop weapons restricted by the Treaty. Russia responded that if the United States withdraws from Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, it will develop "unique weapons".

　　On January 15th this year, Russia and the United States held an inter-agency consultation on Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement. On February 1st, US President Trump and Secretary of State Pompeo announced that the implementation of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty would be suspended from February 2nd. The United States is determined to withdraw from the Treaty within six months unless Russia resumes its "true and verifiable" compliance with the Treaty. On February 2, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow would also suspend the agreement in response to the same move by the United States. Putin also issued instructions not to negotiate with Washington on this issue, and stressed that the United States needs to show the sincerity of equality and substantive dialogue.
