    Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 6th　Question: How do you view China’s price movement? -The second question and answer of China economy in the two sessions.

    Xinhua News Agency reporter Wei Yukun and Wu Yu

    Since last year, China’s price increase has been running at a low level, which has aroused some people’s worries about China’s deflation. How to treat China’s price movement situation? Is China’s economy really in deflation?

    During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, the reporter interviewed many NPC deputies, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference members and authoritative experts to analyze this issue and respond to external concerns.

   Does low prices mean deflation?

    Since October last year, the consumer price index (CPI) has been declining year-on-year, and it will drop by 0.8% in January 2024. At the same time, the national producer price index (PPI) continued to decline.

    The low price has caused some worries about whether China’s economy will fall into deflation.

    To judge whether we are caught in deflation, we must first clarify the concept. Generally speaking, in economics, deflation mainly refers to the continuous negative growth of prices and the downward trend of money supply, which is usually accompanied by economic recession. This depends not only on the "shape" of price operation, but also on the "state" of money supply and the "potential" of economic development.

    -Price operation: generally low, maintaining a moderate upward trend.

    According to the government work report submitted for deliberation on the 5th, the consumer price of China residents rose by 0.2% in 2023. This data is in stark contrast to the high inflation in major developed economies.

    Jin Li, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice president of south university of science and technology of china, said that last year, the core CPI excluding volatile food and energy prices rose by 0.7% year-on-year, indicating that the supply and demand of industrial consumer goods and service consumption in China were generally stable. The year-on-year decline of PPI also decreased by 5.4% from the highest in June last year to 2.5% in January 2024.

    Since last year, China’s monthly price level has always fluctuated moderately within a reasonable range. In January 2024, CPI rose by 0.3% month-on-month, which has been rising for two consecutive months.

    -Money supply: the total amount is moderate and the rhythm is stable.

    By the end of January 2024, the balance of broad money (M2) in China was 297.63 trillion yuan, up 8.7% year-on-year. Under the background of high base in the same period last year, it maintained a reasonable growth rate.

    The scale of social financing is a comprehensive indicator of financial support for the real economy. In January, the scale of social financing in China increased by 6.5 trillion yuan, 506.1 billion yuan more than the same period of last year.

    -economic development: the overall recovery is improving.

    In 2023, China’s economy generally rebounded, with a GDP growth rate of 5.2%, which was faster than the average growth rate of 4.5% in the three years of the epidemic, and also significantly faster than the economic growth rates of 2.5% in the United States, 0.5% in the euro zone and 1.9% in Japan, making it an important engine of global economic growth.

    Since 2024, China’s manufacturing purchasing managers index, SME development index and other indicators have rebounded from last December. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently raised its forecast for China’s economic growth this year and cast a "vote of confidence" for China’s economy.

    "Deflation is often the result of long-term accumulation of structural problems in economic operation. Judging deflation should not only focus on one or two price indicators." Huang Maoxing, deputy to the National People’s Congress and vice president of Fujian Academy of Social Sciences, said that on the whole, there is no deflation in China, let alone deflation spillover, and the so-called "economic deflation in China" is totally a false proposition.

    Not long ago, ING reported that the discussion about deflation in China was exaggerated by the outside world. In January, the overall CPI and core CPI in China both rose month-on-month, reflecting that China has not fallen into a "deflation spiral".

    "We don’t expect an overall deflationary trend in China." Gita Gopinath, First Vice President of IMF, said not long ago.

   What are the reasons for the low price increase?

    Prices are related to economic operation and affect people’s lives. At present, the low price increase in China is the result of multiple factors.

    "After the smooth transition of epidemic prevention and control, domestic production has accelerated recovery, logistics has remained smooth, and product supply is sufficient. However, demand is constrained by factors such as expected instability and income distribution differentiation, and recovery will take some time." Xu Guangjian, vice president of China Price Association, said that the time difference between supply and demand recovery is the main factor for the lower prices.

    Commissioner Jin Li said that in 2022, due to the Ukrainian crisis, food and energy prices were higher, which made the CPI increase in 2023 relatively low. In addition, the price of pork occupies a high weight in China CPI. Due to the abundant supply of live pigs and pork and the sluggish consumption of superimposed pork, the domestic pig price continues to fall, which lowers the CPI increase.

    Input factors also have an impact on China’s prices. After the epidemic, in order to cope with high inflation, major central banks in the United States and Europe quickly and intensively adjusted their monetary policies, and the year-on-year increase of CPI in the United States and Europe has dropped from the previous high of about 10% to the current 3%. "The inflation level in developed economies has fallen faster than expected, which has an impact on the price level in China." Pan Gongsheng, governor of the People’s Bank of China, said.

    Xing Ziqiang, chief economist of Morgan Stanley in China, said that China’s lower prices may have a positive spillover effect on global trade goods prices, which will help alleviate the "sequela" of unconventional stimulus policies adopted by some economies in response to high inflation.

    The experts interviewed agreed that the factors that caused the current low price operation in China are mainly phased, cyclical and seasonal, not trending, and its influence should not be exaggerated.

    This year’s government work report sets the expected target of annual consumer price increase at around 3%. According to the plan report submitted for review on the 5th, the main consideration for setting this goal is to comprehensively analyze the hikes of price changes in 2023 and the new price increase factors in 2024. It is expected that consumer prices will rise moderately in 2024.

    "This expected goal is consistent with last year’s expected goal, in line with the overall trend of domestic price stabilization and recovery, and leaves some room for strengthening macro-policy regulation and deepening price reform." Yu Miaojie, deputy to the National People’s Congress and president of Liaoning University, said.

   How to prevent the risk of deflation?

    Delegates and experts interviewed said that although the low domestic price operation is temporary, we should be alert to and guard against deflation risks, and actively and effectively solve problems such as insufficient effective domestic demand and overcapacity in some industries.

    -Strengthening macro-policy control.

    The government work report pointed out that the liquidity should be kept reasonable and sufficient, and the scale of social financing and money supply should match the expected goals of economic growth and price level.

    "Maintaining a reasonable and sufficient liquidity is an effective measure to prevent deflation risks. This year’s government work has clearly promoted the steady decline of comprehensive social financing costs, which is expected to further stimulate the effective demand of the real economy and enhance residents’ willingness to consume and invest. " Ceng Gang, director of Shanghai Finance and Development Laboratory, said.

    A proactive fiscal policy should moderately increase efforts, improve quality and increase efficiency; A prudent monetary policy should be flexible, moderate, accurate and effective; Incorporate non-economic policies into the consistency assessment of macro-policy orientation … A number of arrangements in this year’s government work report have strengthened policy co-ordination to ensure that efforts are made in the same direction and joint efforts are formed.

    -Promote the formation of a virtuous circle in which consumption and investment promote each other.

    Han Baojiang, a member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that at present, the key to preventing deflation risks is to expand domestic demand, release the potential vitality of the super-large-scale market, and enhance the ability and confidence to resist external imported risks.

    When deploying this year’s tasks, the government work report pointed out that the implementation of the strategy of expanding domestic demand should be organically combined with deepening the structural reform on the supply side, so as to better coordinate consumption and investment and enhance the pulling effect on economic growth.

    Optimize the consumption environment, carry out the "consumption promotion year" activity and implement the "rest assured consumption action"; Deepen the cultivation and construction of international consumption center cities; Promote the construction of additional national debt projects with high quality; We will implement a new cooperation mechanism between the government and social capital, and encourage private capital to participate in major project construction … The government work report and the plan report will focus on expanding domestic demand this year.

    "With the implementation of a series of policies to expand domestic demand, giving full play to the key role of investment in optimizing the supply structure and promoting the upgrading of domestic consumption structure, the domestic economic cycle will be further smooth." Qu Yongyi, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and secretary of the Party Committee of the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said.

    Ayhan Gauss, deputy chief economist and director of the forecasting bureau of the World Bank, said that a series of policies adopted by China at present are very correct, which can boost consumer confidence and consumption in the short term, and enhance the long-term economic growth potential through firm reforms.

　　CCTV News:The annual year-end consumption peak season has arrived. In the consumption peak season of 2023, the reporter saw that consumer demand is more subdivided and vertical, consumption is more decentralized and personalized, and intelligent, experiential and high-quality products are exploding. From the industrial point of view, the diversity of consumer demand also promotes the trend of personalized production and flexible customization on the supply side.

　　Under the increasingly diversified consumer demand, refined home appliances are more sought after by consumers. The data of the e-commerce platform shows that the sales of smart home products that can enhance the sense of home life experience have increased significantly. Among them, the turnover of intelligent sensing faucets, intelligent door locks, intelligent lifting tables and other products all increased by more than 100% compared with the same period in 2022.

　　Healthy consumption has also become a kind of consumer goods with high willingness of consumers. According to the data of the platform, in the "Double Eleven" in 2023, the outdoor sports industry showed explosive growth, and the sales of cycling, skiing and out shoes clothing products increased by 300% year-on-year.

　　On the major e-commerce platforms, the reporter noticed that domestic brands are highly sought after by consumers. According to the data of China International Electronic Commerce Center Research Institute, in this peak consumption season, among the top 20 brands in online retail sales, domestic brands occupy 11 seats.

　　While the consumption trend changes, it is also promoting the transformation of the industry. Li Mingtao said that relying on the support of online big data, enterprises can more clearly understand the needs of consumers, and thus rely on personalized production and flexible customization to accurately match related needs.

　　Promote featured products and adopt various operation methods to cope with the sales peak.

　　The annual year-end consumption season is also an important node for enterprises to sprint annual sales. At present, local enterprises are actively enriching their means of operation and vigorously promoting local specialty products.

　　In Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, the local digital economy industrial park jointly settled in enterprises, and launched online live broadcast and other activities for the first time to introduce local agricultural special products to consumers.

　　This company, located in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, has developed a series of snack foods and organic foods based on local specialties such as Xinhui dried tangerine peel and Taishan rice. The person in charge of the company predicts that the sales volume of the company’s products will rise sharply this consumption season. In order to cope with the sales peak, the company made sufficient preparations in advance.

　　The new express delivery mode allows goods to reach consumers faster.

　　During the peak consumption season every year, the express delivery volume will explode. The growth of express delivery reflects the vigorous vitality of China’s consumer market. At the same time, how can consumers get the goods they ordered faster?

　　At a courier service outlet in Mianzhu City, Sichuan Province, the staff are busy scanning the code for express parcels, putting them on the shelves, and three shelves are filled with parcels stored on behalf of others.

　　It is understood that during the end-of-year consumption peak season in 2023, major express delivery companies in Mianzhu have increased their investment, and tried their best to reduce the phenomenon of express delivery squeeze and delay by increasing operating venues, adding automation equipment, expanding transportation capacity and increasing manpower.

　　In Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, relying on the mode of "integration of passenger and freight", express delivery can take the bus to the village, so that more rural people can enjoy the same timely delivery service as in the city, which greatly improves the timeliness of express delivery. Wu Chengrong, a villager in Shenfan Township, Jinhua City, just got his first package of this year’s "Double Eleven" a few days ago.

　　In addition, the local area also adopts the new logistics mode of "regional co-distribution", relying on the postal network, integrating the first-class distribution resources of each express brand village and town, and realizing the automatic sorting of all express brands in the same line. Postal couriers can complete the express transportation and delivery work of different express delivery companies, which greatly relieves the logistics pressure of the "last mile" in remote areas.

　　According to the monitoring data of the State Post Bureau, November 1 — On November 4th, the whole network collected 2.027 billion pieces of express delivery, up 16.1% year-on-year and 31.0% quarter-on-quarter, reaching a record high.

　　● With the increasing popularity of self-help outdoor tourism, outdoor clubs, donkey friends clubs and go on road trip clubs frequently publish tourism products illegally through WeChat groups or QQ groups, publicize tourism routes, and receive citizens or donkey friends to travel.

　　● According to the relevant provisions of the Tourism Law, it is illegal for non-tourism enterprises and individuals to organize tourism activities by themselves.

　　● To completely eradicate the chaos of compulsory consumption of low-priced groups, we should rely on the law, increase punishment measures, and increase illegal costs and rights protection benefits.

　　□ Our reporter Zhao Li

　　"Since you have chosen a group with shopping links, you need to spend. What was your attitude towards me in the shop today? They’re all fighting guerrillas in there! Now get off and go to the store, and spend 20,000 yuan an hour … …” These words came from a female tour guide in Guilin.

　　This female tour guide brought a group organized by a beauty brand. According to tourists, "Give a product gift of 598 yuan to the travel agency", and you can go to Guilin from Hunan for free. On the last day of the trip, due to the high consumption of jade shops, the consumption of tourists did not meet the "psychological expectation" of the tour guide, so the above scene appeared.

　　After this compulsory consumption incident was exposed, the "low-priced group" once again attracted attention.

　　With the increasing popularity of self-help outdoor tourism, it is not uncommon for outdoor clubs, donkey friends clubs, go on road trip clubs, health care products sales enterprises and some training institutions to illegally publish tourism products, publicize tourism routes and receive citizens or donkey friends to travel through WeChat groups and QQ groups. According to the relevant provisions of the Tourism Law, it is illegal for non-tourism enterprises and individuals to organize tourism activities by themselves. However, according to the disclosure of relevant departments, many tourism activities attract consumers to join the group with "low-cost group tours" or even "zero group tours".

　　Through unannounced visits to such organizations that operate travel agencies without travel qualifications, the "Legal Daily" reporter found that many low-priced groups hide many tricks.

　　Ostensibly claiming not to be profitable.

　　In fact, hidden invisible consumption.

　　Recently, the reporter found a large number of QQ groups of related organizations through online search, and the format of group names is simple and consistent: ×× Outdoor Club. The reporter tried to apply to join the QQ group of these outdoor clubs as an outdoor sports enthusiast, but the pass rate was extremely low. Many applications for joining the group are "sinking into the sea" after they are issued. Some organizations directly rejected the reporter’s application for joining the group. For example, the ×× Shanshui Outdoor Club refused on the grounds that it was not introduced by acquaintances in the group after the reporter repeatedly applied for joining the group.

　　After many attempts, the reporter finally entered the individual group chat as an ordinary tourist, but after joining the group, the relevant responsible persons of these organizations will know the information of the new group users, such as "Who introduced them", "Where did they come from" and "What activities have they participated in before".

　　At present, the QQ group of "Beijing XX Outdoor Club" has 1436 people, and it promotes itself as an outdoor adventure club with the theme of mountaineering, hiking, camping, grassland riding, desert crossing, forest adventure, seaside swimming, photography, skiing, food, singing and making friends. The outdoor activities of this club are rich and varied, and most of them are short-lived, generally divided into one-day activities and two-day activities. The prices of short-term activities are generally low. Many one-day activities cost less than 100 yuan, and some two-day activities cost around 300 yuan. Take the one-day tour of Kingfisher Valley (located in Yanqing, Beijing) as an example. The activity cost is 65 yuan/person, including car charter, expressway fee, master fee and outdoor insurance. The activity was held on June 15th. By 15:30 on June 14th, more than 50 people had signed up.

　　The person in charge of the club explained to the reporter: "The expenses incurred by the activity are all AA system, without any additional benefits."

　　Two years ago, Ms. Wang, a citizen of Beijing, was dragged into an outdoor tour group, which published many low-priced tour routes. "People who organize tours say that if they don’t make money, they just organize everyone to go out to play." But Ms. Wang found that they "have not earned less money."

　　She once took part in a trip to Zhangjiakou, the cost was not enough for 300 yuan, but after getting on the bus, the hidden cost began. The organizer charged each tourist 50 yuan’s hard work and each tourist had to pay 10 yuan’s tea fee after the meal.

　　"Without a formal contract, it is too informal for such a tour group to transfer money through WeChat or pay by punching in." Ms. Wang said.

　　Some insiders also revealed to reporters that some outdoor clubs often attract friends to travel under the banner of non-profit, and the relevant personnel of the club make profits through the price difference. Because outdoor clubs don’t need to pay deposits and taxes like travel agencies, the operation of outdoor clubs is almost "zero cost".

　　The reporter interviewed Mr. Zhang, a staff member of a scenic spot who is in charge of receiving these clubs. He said: "The profits of related expenses can basically be divided into four or six with the organizers, and the commissions taken by general travel agencies or tour leaders are more."

　　The promoter declares that he is not responsible.

　　Tourists face greater risks.

　　Another "Beijing Lvyou ××" QQ group information shows that it was founded on October 23, 2015. At present, it has 2,862 members and has organized 44 activities. The organizer is "Beijing× Wolf Outdoor". The activity destinations are nearly Shuanglong Gorge, Pofengling and Dongling Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, and as far away as Wuyuan, Dunhuang and Mohe.

　　According to the information of official website in Beijing × Wolf Outdoor, this organization is "dedicated to the tent rental industry in Beijing (Tianjin)", and its business scope mainly includes various outdoor goods rental businesses such as Beijing (Tianjin) camping tent rental, cotton sleeping bag rental, down sleeping bag rental, walkie-talkie rental and mountaineering bag rental.

　　The official website page of Beijing × Wolf Outdoor has also set up a column of "Journey Friends Activities". Open this page, which shows 70 pieces of relevant travel information released by this organization from June 6, 2017 to October 24, 2018. The reporter opened several links, most of which are related introductions such as tourist routes, itinerary planning and cost range, and occasionally a "disclaimer" is attached to the introduction. Disclaimer said: The initiator of the activity is only the contact person of the activity, and may not have participated in the training of outdoor leaders and field rescue. Although it is obligatory to help every participant, the initiator and leader of the activity are not responsible for any damage and consequences caused by participating in the activity — — Sign up voluntarily at your own risk.

　　Such a disclaimer can also be found in the details of the activities of the "Beijing donkey friends ××" QQ group.

　　The reporter found that the Mountain X Outdoor Club has also organized outdoor travel activities many times. According to a tweet from its WeChat WeChat official account on June 13th, the length of a seven-day trip is around 3,000 yuan per person. The travel routes include Jiaju Tibetan Village, Hailuogou Glacier, Daocheng Aden, Siguniang Mountain and other popular tourist attractions. The expenses include transportation (driver’s accommodation), accommodation (7 nights), tickets (Siguniang Mountain Shuangqiaogou, Jiaju Tibetan Village, Aden Scenic Area, Hailuogou), meals (breakfast in Danba), tour leader service and insurance. At the same time, it is stated that this line only buys travel accident insurance for players, excluding illness insurance and financial insurance. During the activity, if the financial loss occurs, it shall be borne by the players themselves; If financial losses are caused by personal reasons and need to be handled by themselves, a "departure agreement" needs to be signed.

　　Another go on road trip club, "X Ant go on road trip Club", also indicated similar terms in a go on road trip route push on June 14th. There is only a 500,000 yuan personal accident insurance in the travel expenses, and there is nothing else.

　　The leader of "Beijing × Star Club" told reporters that the price given by his club was "more cost-effective than the travel agency" and an extra accident insurance would be given. When the reporter asked whether to sign the relevant responsibility contract, the team leader replied: "Without signing the contract, the activities are voluntary."

　　Free travel has become a new trick

　　Force shopping to set a trap

　　It is worth noting that related disputes occur frequently.

　　In April 2017, Tian Congxin, an outdoor travel enthusiast, sued the organizer of the WeChat group tour and lost the case. The lawsuit originated in the summer of 2016. He and his friends joined the WeChat group of Happy Friends’ self-help tour and drifted to Daqinggou, Inner Mongolia. During the drifting, he accidentally caused an acute compression fracture of the lumbar spine. When he claimed compensation from the tourism organizer, he was rejected and sued the court. The court ruled that the organizer did not aim at profit, and because Tian Congxin was injured in the wrong sitting position, he took full responsibility.

　　On November 22nd, 2014, Zhang Bingyu followed the coaches of Qingdao Qianli Sports and Leisure Club Co., Ltd. to Jiuxian Mountain for altitude downhill outward bound training. During the descent, the protective rope was untied, and Zhang Bingyu fell from a height of about 30 meters above the ground and died. Yu, an employee of Qianli Sports Company, is the leader of this outward bound training. He knows Cao, whose net name is Mumu, from the outdoor sports group, who was temporarily hired by the company as the outdoor coach of this activity. According to the verdict, both Yu and Cao claimed that they did not have the qualification certificate to engage in downhill activities.

　　Organizations and individuals without tourism qualifications like this often offer various low-cost tours when operating travel agency business.

　　According to a Beijing resident who didn’t want to be named, his parents participated in a low-cost tour organized by the "outdoor donkey friends group" WeChat group. "Everyone has a one-day tour in 50 yuan and Yixing Zhuhai. My parents gather at 6: 30 in the morning and come back with big bags at 6: 00 in the evening. Bamboo shoots, bamboo chopping boards, activated carbon balls, dish towels, etc., spend hundreds of dollars and buy a bunch of useless things. "

　　The reporter interviewed Mr. Zhang, who used to be a tour guide. Mr. Zhang said: "In the tourism industry, low-cost groups basically imply consumption content, which is a default rule in the industry. But if you pay enough money reasonably, there may be only some slight guidance and no compulsory consumption. "

　　Ma Aiping, a professor at beijing international studies university Tourism Management College, thinks that the tour fee for four days and five nights is 598 yuan. If this fee includes food, accommodation and transportation, the price is obviously low, so travel itinerary includes three shopping items.

　　Liu Simin, director of the Tourism Research Institute of the Cultural and Creative Industry Research Center of Beijing Foreign Studies University, believes that there may be many reasons for being lower than the market price and operating cost, but if there are obvious shopping arrangements in the itinerary, it can basically be judged as unreasonable low-cost travel.

　　In 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission, in conjunction with the public security, industry and commerce, price and other departments, continued to carry out a number of actions to comprehensively rectify the order of the national tourism market, and seriously investigated and dealt with illegal acts such as "unreasonably low-cost travel" and "illegally operating travel agency business", and filed 2,595 cases, fined and confiscated illegal income of 33.26 million yuan, and revoked 45 business licenses.

　　Since then, although the related problems of some travel agencies have been contained and supervised to a certain extent, some organizations and individuals who operate travel agencies without tourism qualifications have begun to "move". There are also companies tying health care products during the "zero tour fee" tour.

　　Take Jiufang Joy as an example. This company is not qualified to organize tourism. In August 2018, a fire broke out in Beilong Hot Spring Leisure Hotel in Harbin, Heilongjiang, causing 20 deaths and 23 injuries. According to media reports, Jiufang Joy mainly sells health care products to middle-aged and elderly people, and customers with large consumption can get travel opportunities rewarded by enterprises.

　　According to the disclosure of relevant departments in Beijing, many tourism activities use "zero tour fee" as bait to attract the elderly to join the group, which hides multiple risks. Law enforcement officials of relevant departments in Beijing said that low-cost tours under the guise of "free tours" and "zero tour fees" are becoming more and more hidden, and the elderly often become the "hardest hit areas" for being deceived.

　　According to law enforcement officials, at present, "buying health care products for travel" and "buying wealth management for free travel" organized in the form of companies have become new tricks of criminals, and even some companies cheat in the name of recruiting "tourism experiencers", and applicants encounter compulsory shopping traps when traveling.

　　"WeChat friends circle, clubs, motorists’ clubs and other spontaneous group trips are often personal agreements, and there is no business license. Many irregular behaviors cannot be defined and are in a blind spot of supervision. This kind of tourism behavior is more prone to problems, ‘ Black tour guide ’ The phenomenon of slaughtering customers is even more difficult to detect, which brings difficulties to tourism law enforcement and evidence collection. " Beijing lawyer Liu Chengxian told reporters.

guide　language

The treatment scheme of herpes zoster can be roughly divided into traditional Chinese medicine therapy and western medicine therapy. Today, we will learn the western medicine therapy recommended by the guide.

Therapeutic goal of herpes zoster

Relieve acute pain; Shorten the duration of skin lesions; Prevent the spread of skin lesions; Prevent or reduce complications.

First, antiviral drugs

Commonly used drugs in clinical treatment of herpes zoster can effectively shorten the course of disease, accelerate the healing of rash, reduce the formation of new rash and reduce the spread of virus to internal organs. It should be used within 72 hours after the eruption, so as to quickly reach and maintain the effective concentration and obtain the best therapeutic effect. At present, the approved systemic antiviral drugs include acyclovir, valaciclovir, famciclovir, bromovudine and foscarnet sodium.

acyclovir

Function characteristics:

Acyclovir triphosphate is produced by phosphorylation of viral thymidine kinase in infected cells, which can inhibit viral DNA polymerase and stop the extension of viral DNA chain.

　 Usage:

(1) Oral administration: 400-800 mg/time, 5 times/day, for 7 days;

(2) Intravenous drip: 5 ~ 10 mg/kg for patients with immune impairment or serious nervous system diseases, once every 8 hours, with a course of 7 days.　

Precautions:

Patients should drink plenty of water during the administration of acyclovir to prevent acyclovir from precipitating in renal tubules and damaging renal function.

Valaciclovir

Function characteristics:

The prodrug of acyclovir is quickly absorbed by oral administration and quickly converted into acyclovir in gastrointestinal tract and liver, and its bioavailability is 3~5 times that of acyclovir.

　 Usage:

Oral administration: 300 ~ 1000 mg/time, 3 times/day, for 7 days.

Fanciclovir

Function characteristics:

The prodrug of penciclovir is rapidly converted into penciclovir after oral administration, and maintains a long half-life in cells. The mechanism of action is the same as that of acyclovir, the bioavailability is higher than that of acyclovir, and the frequency and dosage of administration are lower than that of acyclovir.

　 Usage:

Oral administration: 250 ~ 500mg/time, 3 times/day, for 7 days.

brivudine tablets

Function characteristics:

The antiviral effect is highly selective, and the process of inhibiting virus replication is only carried out in virus-infected cells.　

Usage:

Oral administration: 125mg／/day, l times/day, for 7 days.

Sodium foscarnet

Function characteristics:

Blocking the phosphate binding site of viral DNA polymerase in a non-competitive way, thus showing antiviral activity.

　 Usage:

Intravenous drip: 40 mg/kg each time, once every 8 hours.

Note meaning　

Patients with renal insufficiency should reduce the dosage accordingly;

If renal function continues to decline, acyclovir should be stopped immediately and famciclovir or other antiviral drugs should be used to continue treatment;

For patients suspected of renal insufficiency, creatinine level should be detected before initial administration (creatinine level is not required for bromovudine).

Second, analgesics

Mild to moderate pain:Acetaminophen and tramadol can be selected;　

Moderate and severe pain:

1. Opioid drugs, such as morphine or oxycodone;

2. Drugs for the treatment of neuropathic pain, such as calcium channel regulator gabapentin and pregabalin, in addition to amitriptyline and 5% lidocaine patch. Severe acute pain during herpes zoster is a risk factor for post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN). Combined with calcium channel regulator can not only effectively relieve pain, but also reduce the occurrence of PHN. Studies have shown that early use of pregabalin can significantly reduce the pain score of herpes zoster, especially within 7 days of herpes occurrence, which can significantly reduce the incidence of PHN. The pain of elderly patients with herpes zoster is more common and severe, which seriously affects all aspects of life, such as anxiety, disorder and inability to work or live normally. Studies have shown that pregabalin combined with oxycodone can not only further reduce the incidence of PHN, but also improve the daily activities and sleep of patients and improve their quality of life.

Third, glucocorticoid

At present, there is still controversy about whether to use glucocorticoid to treat herpes zoster.

It is generally believed that systematic application of glucocorticoid in the early stage of acute onset of herpes zoster and gradual decrease can inhibit the inflammatory process, shorten the duration of acute pain and the healing time of skin lesions, but it is ineffective for the pain with PHN.　

Recommended dose:The initial dosage of prednisone is 30~40 mg／/day, which is taken orally and gradually reduced, and the course of treatment is 1~2 weeks.

　Fourth, neurotrophic drugs

It is also helpful to relieve neuroinflammation and neuralgia. Commonly used drugs include mecobalamin, vitamin B1 and vitamin B12, etc., which are taken orally or injected intramuscularly.

Five, topical drugs

Mainly dry and anti-inflammatory.　

Blister fluid is not broken:Calamine lotion, acyclovir cream or penciclovir cream can be used externally.　

After herpes is broken:

3% boric acid solution wet compress;

1: 5000 furacilin solution wet compress;

0.5% neomycin ointment for external use;

2% mupirocin ointment.　

Ophthalmic herpes:3% Acyclovir Eye Ointment and Iodine Eye Drops for External Use.

Laiyuan/Yunque

　　On Thursday, local time, with the soaring yield of 10-year US bonds and the "assistance" of the yield of 10-year British bonds, the risk appetite of market investors continued to be suppressed. The three major indexes of US stocks recorded a three-day losing streak. After the S&P 500 index, the Dow also fell below the 50-year moving average, which is usually regarded as a signal of a short-term downward trend.

　　It should be noted that the American Association of Individual Investors released the latest market sentiment survey report on Thursday, and the bullish enthusiasm of American retail investors in the next six months has plummeted, directly from 44.7% to 35.9%, breaking the state of being better than the historical average in the past 10 weeks. It is enough to show that current investors are not optimistic about the future trend of the market.

　　The relatively vague monetary policy direction of the Federal Reserve has played a great role. According to the latest calendar of the Federal Reserve in official website, Powell will deliver a speech at the annual meeting of Jackson Hole Central Bank on August 25th, local time. If you have memories, you should remember last year’s "nine minutes of darkness". Powell’s speech directly caused the S&P 500 index to plummet by 3%, and then it went from 4,200 to below 3,500 in the next two months.

　　The market may be worried that Powell’s speech this year may still cause market turmoil before inflation is completely tamed, and monetary policy may continue to be tightened during the year. At present, according to the observation tool of CME Federal Reserve, the probability of raising interest rates again at the end of the year has risen to over 30%, while the hope of lowering interest rates is slim, which was originally the biggest catalyst in the market.

　　In other important news, on Thursday (August 17th), local time, the latest report released by market research company Counterpoint Research showed that global smartphone shipments will drop by 6% to 1.15 billion units this year. If it is finally true, it will be the lowest level in ten years.

　　North America is still the main drag on the global recovery, and the disappointing performance in the first half of the year may bring the year-on-year decline of shipments in this region to double digits. However, the high-end market still maintains some flexibility. The report pointed out that Apple will therefore be in a favorable position, and the company will usher in an important product upgrade in the second half of this year, which may make it perform strongly before the end of this year.

　　In addition, on Thursday night, Beijing time, Musk, the world’s richest man, announced his arrival in Japan on the social media platform, but did not disclose the itinerary. A sudden visit to Japan has caused a lot of discussion in the market. The important daily activities of his social media platform X come from Japan, with a population of only one-third of that of the United States, but the daily activities are comparable to those of the United States.

　　Musk’s team is still frantically seizing the satellite Internet business in low-earth orbit. Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada has previously confirmed that the Japanese Self-Defense Force has started testing this equipment since March this year.

　　It is worth mentioning that on the occasion of Musk’s visit to Japan, when Tesla’s redesigned Model 3 was exposed to mass production, did this trip take a fancy to the potential of the Japanese electric vehicle market? The share of electric vehicles in the Japanese market has just exceeded 2%, and the best-selling Mini-EV is Nissan SAKURA, which sold 33,000 vehicles in the whole fiscal year of 2022. Tesla and () are regarded as luxury brands.

　　[overnight news]

　　Powell will deliver a speech at Jackson Hole’s annual meeting next week.

　　The Federal Reserve also quietly updated official website’s calendar after the close, showing that Powell will deliver the annual meeting speech of Jackson Hole at 10: 05 local time on August 25th. Investors should still remember clearly that on August 26th last year, with Powell’s famous "9-minute speech", not only did the S&P 500 index drop by 3% that day, but in the next two months, it even fell from 4,200 to 3,500.

　　US retail investors’ bullish enthusiasm plummeted

　　The American Association of Individual Investors also released the latest market sentiment survey report on Thursday. The bullish enthusiasm of American retail investors in the next six months has "dived down", directly dropping from 44.7% to 35.9%, breaking the state of being better than the historical average in the past 10 weeks.

　　Fed officials are increasingly wary of the stock market’s rise.

　　According to the latest minutes of the Fed meeting, Fed staff pointed out at the FOMC policy meeting in July that stock prices generally rose, corporate bond spreads narrowed, asset valuation pressure was "significant", and the risk assessment in May was "moderate"; Also named residential and commercial real estate prices, calling them "relatively high in terms of fundamentals".

　　Research report: global mobile phone shipments may fall to a 10-year low, and Apple is expected to go against the trend.

　　The latest report released by Counterpoint Research, a market research company, shows that global smartphone shipments are expected to hit the worst year in a decade in 2023. Despite the overall decline in smartphone shipments, the high-end market still maintains a certain degree of flexibility. The report pointed out that Apple will therefore be in a favorable position, and the company will usher in an important product upgrade in the second half of this year, which may make it perform strongly before the end of this year.

　　After energy and food, the signs of sticky inflation in the United States reappear, and the price of used cars rose for the first time in four months.

　　According to statistics, the wholesale data of used cars in the first half of August in the United States rose for the first time in four months, and the market is worried. This is another sign that inflation may be stuck for a long time after the rebound of energy and food prices.

　　The global bond market selling added fuel to the fire, and the demand for Japanese bond auctions was the worst since 1987.

　　The auction results of 20-year Japanese bonds on Thursday may show that investors are increasingly betting that the Bank of Japan will soon relax the easing policy YCC to control the yield curve. As the global sovereign bond yield has reached a 15-year high, the rising Japanese bond yield threatens global bonds.

　　[company news]

　　Tesla’s modified Model 3 was exposed to lower bicycle costs or add a "price war" card.

　　Tesla’s revised Model 3 may start mass production in Shanghai as early as next month.

Large-scale production will follow closely, starting in September at the earliest. These people familiar with the matter added that Tesla will also increase production during the National Day holiday.

　　One of the people familiar with the matter said that the revised Model 3 has been changed in terms of design and interior parts, making it more fashionable. He added that in the case of full production, its cost will be lower than the current version of Model 3, or as low as 200,000 yuan.

　　Musk suddenly announced his arrival in Japan. What is he going to do?

　　On Thursday night, Beijing time, Musk, the world’s richest man, announced on his social media platform X that he had arrived in Japan. In view of his extreme love of showing himself on the Internet, this totally unexpected trip triggered a hot discussion among netizens: What is he doing in Japan?

　　The important daily activities of Musk’s social media platform X come from Japan, with a population of only one-third of that of the United States, but the daily activities are comparable to those of the United States. Musk’s team is still frantically seizing the satellite Internet business in low-earth orbit. Japanese Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada has previously confirmed that the Japanese Self-Defense Force has started testing this equipment since March this year.

When it comes to cross-border export platforms, I believe most people will blurt out AliExpress, Amazon, eBay and wish. Of course, they are indeed very important cross-border e-commerce platforms, but they are not just these cross-border e-commerce platforms. In fact, every cross-border e-commerce platform has its own industry advantages and loyal customer base, or has important or special influence in a certain country or region. For cross-border e-commerce, online channel diversification is an important way to expand network channels and scale. In addition, for some specific products and brands, it is also an important e-commerce strategy to select the target market for deep-rooted work. Then it is natural to use the local important targeted e-commerce platform. Below, Xiaobian summarizes the following fifteen emerging platforms for cross-border e-commerce from the network.

First, Souq

Souq.com, an Amazon e-commerce website in the Middle East. It has 6 million users and can reach 10 million independent visits every month. According to the current situation of the website, Souq has begun to consider expanding other businesses. For example, Souq has established its own logistics system QExpress and payment system PayFort. Moreover, Souq also launched its own brand of tablet computers. It is understood that Souq.com, Cobone.com and Sukar.com are the three largest local e-commerce websites in the Middle East.

It is understood that the UAE people are keen on surfing the Internet and playing mobile phones, and their Internet penetration rate and mobile phone holding rate have reached more than 70%. Not only the United Arab Emirates, but also people from rich Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar are keen on shopping online. It is expected that the scale of online shopping in the whole Middle East will increase rapidly in the next two or three years. About 5 out of 10 people in UAE buy goods and services through the Internet. It is expected that the e-commerce market in UAE will reach 10 billion US dollars in 2018.

Second, Lazada (Lai Zanda)

It is known as the largest online shopping mall in Southeast Asia. It is a company founded by Rocket Internet to build "Amazon in Southeast Asia". In April this year, it was invested and controlled by Ali for $1 billion. Sales of electronic products, clothes, appliances, books, cosmetics, etc., the market covers Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The company provides free delivery, free return within 14 days, and flexible payment methods. The growth rate of Internet penetration in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam has exceeded the world average.

By 2020, the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia will reach $20.4 billion. The sustained and rapid economic growth in Southeast Asia has cultivated a large number of middle classes and huge consumer demand. Southeast Asia is another most dynamic and potential consumer market after the United States, the European Union and China. This makes the big e-commerce companies in various countries salivate and want to get it quickly. Therefore, Southeast Asia is the main battlefield for major e-commerce companies at present.

Third, Newegg (new egg)

Newegg was founded in 2001, with its headquarters in Los Angeles, Southern California. Newegg is the leading online supermarket for computer, consumer electronics and communication products in the United States. Newegg gathers about 4,000 sellers and more than 25 million customers. At first, IT sold consumer electronic products and IT products, but now it has expanded to all categories, with 55,000 varieties. Attracting wealthy and internet-savvy men aged 18 to 35. The best-selling categories are automobile supplies, sporting goods and office supplies. It is particularly noteworthy that most consumers are men, but female consumers are also growing rapidly.

Fourth, Rakuten.com (Lotte)

Founded in 1997, it has become the largest e-commerce website in Japan, with a market value of $13.5 billion and an annual revenue of over $4 billion. Lotte is also one of the largest internet companies in the world. In the US market, Lotte spent $250 million to acquire Buy.com, and in 2013, the company changed its name to "Rakuten.com Shopping". Lotte Shopping has gathered 3,000 sellers, more than 80 million customers and 23 million products. The customer base is between 25 and 54, with 50% men and 50% women. Rakuten.com originally specialized in computer and electronic products, but now it provides sporting goods, health and beauty, home and gardening, jewelry and toys.

"Beating Amazon" is the ambitious ambition of Hiroshi Mikitani, the founder of Lotte in Japan. Because the penetration in Japan’s domestic market has reached saturation, it has become difficult to attract more consumers in Japan, and internationalization is the inevitable choice for Lotte to achieve this goal. In recent years, Lotte’s overseas market moves frequently, with its all-round layout in terms of logistics, payment, channels and investment, and its sphere of influence covers Asia, Europe and America. Therefore, for cross-border e-commerce and brand owners, Lotte is an online hypermarket that cannot be ignored.

Five, Bestbuy (Best Buy)

The failure of Best Buy’s online physical store made it enter the online market in 2011. Gathered more than 100 sellers. There are 1 billion visits every year. Different from other e-commerce platforms, only invited sellers can stay in the platform and products can appear in Best Buy stores for sale. But the products are only limited to consumer electronic products.

Sixth, Tesco

Britain’s largest food and groceries retailer. Its e-commerce website was established in 2012, gathering more than 50 sellers, 43 million club card members and 4 million visits per month. The huge offline customer base is being transferred to online. Competitors include Amazon, eBay and Lotte Play.com. Products include home and gardening, baby products, sports and leisure, clothing and jewelry. Only open to invited sellers.

Britain is the largest e-commerce market in Europe, and four of the Top10 European e-retailers are in the UK. At the same time, Britain is one of the largest cross-border e-commerce exporters in the world. In 2013, online retail in the UK was 91 billion pounds (about 148.78 billion US dollars), up 16% year-on-year. Online retailing in the UK will increase by 17% in 2014, reaching 107 billion pounds (about 174.98 billion US dollars).

Seven, Lotte Play.com

Founded in 1998, it is one of the largest online entertainment retailers in the UK. Gather more than 3000 sellers and 15 million customers. Originally selling games and media products, but now it has developed into multiple categories. It is the only e-commerce platform that allows retailers to customize their own storefronts, making it the third largest online market in Britain after Amazon and eBay.

Eight, La Redoute (Shangri-La Fu)

Founded in 2010, it is the leading online retailer in France and the third largest e-commerce market in Europe. Gather more than 1,000 vendors and 10 million customers. Covering 26 countries. Shangri-La Welfare is mainly aimed at women aged between 26 and 35. Its product categories include men’s and women’s wear, underwear, shoes and accessories, furniture, crafts and so on. But don’t sell second-hand products.

MercadoLivre (Mercado Network)

The largest C2C platform in Brazil is equivalent to Taobao in China.

Today’s Ozon, just like Taobao in those days, I wonder how many China sellers have settled in the sub-platform?

　　Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, September 21st: Talk about "America can’t be trusted" in the eyes of Iranians.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Gao Wencheng

　　Iranian President Leahy made it clear in an interview with the American media a few days ago: "We can’t trust the United States." This sentence is not only his personal opinion, but also the consensus of Iranian society. From a government spokesman to an ordinary librarian, Iranian society now widely believes that — — "the United States cannot be trusted."

　　The formation of this social consensus is closely related to the United States’ treachery and arrogance on the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue. In July 2015, after 10 years of arduous negotiations, Iran reached the the Iranian nuclear deal with the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany. However, in 2018, despite the opposition of the international community, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal and once again held high the sanctions stick to "exert extreme pressure" on Iran.

　　The United States’ wanton breach of contract and indiscriminate sanctions have caused great harm to Iran’s development. After the Iranian nuclear deal was reached, the United States lifted sanctions against Iraq, and Iran’s daily average oil export once reached 2.5 million barrels, with a record economic growth rate of 13.6%. However, after the United States unilaterally broke the contract and re-imposed sanctions, Iran’s oil exports once plummeted to only 100,000 barrels per day, and the economy shrank sharply year after year.

　　Affected by US sanctions, the Iranian currency Rial has depreciated sharply in just a few years. Before the sanctions were restarted, more than 30,000 rials could be exchanged for 1 US dollar, but now it takes 30 Wan Li rials to exchange for 1 US dollar. The import and production costs of Iranian goods have increased significantly, and the shortage of materials has led to soaring prices and difficult people’s livelihood. Since 2018, the overall price in Iran has increased by about 85%, and food prices have doubled. Many Iranian families can’t make ends meet, and their lives are very tight. During the Chinese New Year, many Iranian children can’t put on new clothes, and many housewives have to think about buying a piece of meat for half a day.

　　The pain of people’s livelihood has caused Iranians to pay close attention to the Iranian nuclear talks and look forward to the early lifting of sanctions. However, the indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States on the Iranian nuclear deal’s resumption of performance have been going on for nearly a year and a half, with ups and downs in the middle, and no results have been achieved so far. The current U.S. government said one thing and did another. Although it verbally expressed its willingness to return to the Iranian nuclear deal, it inherited the previous government’s policy of "extreme pressure" on Iraq, and even during the negotiations, it continued to raise the threat tone and increase the sanctions against Iraq.

　　The current American government’s words and deeds are different, which has deepened the Iranian society’s cognition that "the United States cannot be trusted." Leahy said that if Americans want to reach an agreement, "why should they impose new sanctions on Iran during the negotiation?" Because the United States reneges on its word and has a bad track record, Iran is now very cautious in negotiations. The Iranian side has repeatedly asked the US to make a guarantee that it will not violate the contract again. Mohammad Marandi, consultant of the Iranian negotiating team, made it clear that Iran believes that corresponding provisions should be set, and if the United States breaches the contract again, it must pay the price.

　　Iranian society believes that "the United States cannot be trusted" is a silhouette of the increasing bankruptcy of American national credibility in the international arena. A number of polls show that the global influence of the United States is generally declining. In order to safeguard hegemonic self-interest, the United States has repeatedly broken the contract and "retired from the group" and provoked conflicts and confrontations. Although the United States often pretends to be so-called "democracy" and "human rights", it is hard to hide the evil consequences of its perverse actions on other countries and even the whole international community.
