In the past few days, influenza has been raging in many places, and its epidemic intensity is significantly higher than that in the same period of last year. Among them, the 0-4 and 25-59 age groups account for the highest proportion. The National Health and Family Planning Commission recently released the latest version of the influenza diagnosis and treatment plan to clarify the timing of anti-influenza virus treatment. Antiviral treatment within 48 hours of onset can reduce influenza complications, and severe patients over 48 hours can still benefit from antiviral treatment.

　　A nature reserve has many signs, which are called scenic spots, tourist areas, geological parks, etc. There are also a large number of urban and township built-up areas in the reserve, and the ecological space and production and living space squeeze each other. The chaos in this nature reserve will be thoroughly rectified.

　　On March 17th, National Forestry and Grassland Administration, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs jointly issued the Plan for the Construction of National Parks and Other Nature Reserves and Major Projects for the Protection of Wild Animals and Plants (2021-2035) (hereinafter referred to as the "Construction Plan"), which determined that by 2025, the integration and optimization of nature reserves will be completed, and the unified registration of natural resources will be carried out. By 2035, the layout of nature reserves will be further optimized, and the total area will be stable at more than 18% of the land area.

　　"After the institutional reform in 2018, all kinds of nature reserves will be protected and supervised by the forestry and grass departments. Integrate all kinds of nature reserves, and in principle only keep one brand. " On March 18th, National Forestry and Grassland Administration experts told the First Financial Reporter.

　　The contradiction between protection and utilization of various nature reserves is prominent, which is one of the main problems faced by the construction of national parks and other nature reserves in China for many years.

　　There are a large number of urban and township built-up areas in the nature reserve, and the problem of mutual extrusion between ecological space and production and living space is prominent. Photography/Zhangke

　　According to the Construction Plan, due to historical reasons, the conflict between man and land in China’s nature reserves is more prominent. There are a large number of mining rights in nature reserves, and there are contradictions and conflicts between the development of mineral resources and the basic positioning of nature reserves; Water activities such as waterway shipping in nature reserves overlap with the distribution areas of aquatic organisms.

　　The Construction Plan also points out other outstanding problems in China’s nature reserves: influenced by the original natural resource management system, China’s nature reserves lack a unified and coordinated top-level design, and various departments set them up according to their own functions, resulting in unscientific and unsystematic classification system of nature reserves in China, and unclear and uncoordinated functional positioning. At the same time, the separate demarcation has also caused the spatial overlap among 49.8% nature reserves in China.

　　At the same time, the "Construction Plan" indicates that nature reserves and endangered species in China are mostly distributed in remote and backward areas, with limited construction investment and obviously insufficient protection and management capabilities; Due to the rapid economic development, rapid population growth and the lack of scientific and reasonable land use policies, China’s natural forest area has decreased, wetlands have shrunk, grasslands have deteriorated, wildlife habitats and wild plants’ original habitats have been seriously disturbed, eroded, fragmented and destroyed, and habitat islanding, fragmentation and functional degradation have become serious problems. The ability to prevent and control epidemic diseases and alien invasive species is insufficient.

　　Based on these problems, the Construction Plan proposes to properly mediate contradictions and conflicts in national parks, and smoothly and orderly withdraw mining rights, hydropower stations and other projects that do not meet the requirements of national park management and control. On the basis of fully soliciting the opinions of the owners and contractors, the collective land with high protection value in the core protection area will be given priority to standardize the circulation through leasing and replacement, and will be managed by the national park management agency in a unified way. Rational use of natural resources, franchising in general control areas according to law.

　　Relevant experts who participated in the preparation of the Construction Plan told the First Financial Reporter that promoting the franchise of nature reserves in a reasonable and orderly manner can lay a good foundation for the development of eco-industries such as eco-tourism and forest health care, promote the improvement of infrastructure and investment environment in communities and surrounding areas, and help stimulate domestic demand and expand employment.

　　This report is compiled in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Municipality on the Openness of Government Information and the Regulations of Beijing Municipality on the Openness of Government Information, and on the basis of the 2016 annual report on the work of government information disclosure of committees, offices, bureaus and sub-district offices in Xicheng District.

Radar Financial Products | edited by Li Yihui | Deep Sea

Meituan, whose market value plummeted during the year, announced its performance report for the second quarter of 2021 on August 30. According to the financial report, in the second quarter, Meituan’s revenue was 43.76 billion yuan and its net loss was 3.36 billion yuan, which was the third consecutive quarterly performance loss of Meituan. Throughout the first half of the year, Meituan’s revenue was 80.78 billion yuan, with a net loss of 8.203 billion yuan, compared with a profit of 631 million yuan in the same period last year.

Behind the "Waterloo" performance, Meituan is striving to maintain the dominance of local life, including responding to the penetration of platforms such as Tik Tok into local life. In the new business field, Meituan and its competitors are equally fierce. Community e-commerce, flash shopping, grocery shopping and other parts contributed a loss of 17.28 billion yuan to Meituan in the first half of the year.

In addition to the visible "burning money" war in business, Meituan also faces two other challenges. One is the anti-monopoly investigation disclosed in the financial report. As of the announcement date, the relevant investigation is still going on, and the company may be required to change its business practices or be fined heavily. Secondly, the policy "boots" of 4.7 million laborers sent by Meituan to participate in social insurance has fallen, and it is not known whether Meituan can catch it.

The loss of new business in the first half of the year was 17.3 billion yuan.

In a single quarter, the revenue growth rate of Meituan in the second quarter slowed down compared with the first quarter.

The financial report shows that in the second quarter of 2021, the revenue of Meituan was 43.759 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 77%. In comparison, the revenue of Meituan in the first quarter was 37.016 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 120.9%.

According to the business classification, Meituan’s food and beverage take-out, going to stores, hotels and traveling are its main businesses, and they also make money for the company. The new business and others include sharing cycling, shopping, taking a taxi, flash shopping and community group buying business based on the optimization of the US delegation.

Meituan said, "The community e-commerce business Meituan Optimization is still the most important investment area of the company this quarter." However, this part of the business is also the bulk of the loss of the US Mission.

In the second quarter, Meituan’s new business and other sectors realized revenue of 12 billion yuan and operating loss of 9.2 billion yuan, an increase from the loss of 8 billion yuan in Q1. From January to June, the revenue from new business and other businesses was 21.9 billion yuan, with a loss of 17.3 billion yuan, which exceeded the whole year of 2020.

According to the financial report, the community group buying business has further expanded its geographical coverage, deepened its penetration into low-tier cities, and established cold chain logistics nationwide to ensure product quality and fresh product distribution.

At present, after a period of irrational competition and supervision and guidance, the "third group" represented by Xingsheng Youxuan, Shihui Group and Tongcheng Life began to shrink its front line. Giants like JD.COM also changed their attitude towards group buying, but Meituan did not give up the pace of expansion, and Wang Xing regarded it as a "once-in-a-decade opportunity".

At the analyst meeting, when answering the analyst’s question that "the growth rate of orders preferred by Meituan has slowed down", Wang Xing said that Meituan is very confident in the prospect of community e-commerce (community group buying). Despite the recent regulatory opinions and seasonal factors, Meituan has experienced some operational fluctuations, but the company will optimize its pricing strategy and build long-term capabilities.

What supports the new business "burning money" is the take-away and high-profit wine travel business that has produced economies of scale.

In the second quarter, Meituan’s food and beverage take-away income was 23.125 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 59%; The operating profit generated increased by 95.2% year-on-year to 2.447 billion yuan. The income from shops, hotels and tourism was 8.6 billion yuan, up 89.3% year-on-year; It generated an operating profit of 3.664 billion yuan.

With regard to the commission that has attracted much attention, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce suggested that the take-away platform reduce the commission at the two sessions. Meituan immediately launched a new commission model in May, which refined the commission into technical service fees and performance service fees, and adopted step-by-step charges.

According to the financial report, in the second quarter of this year, the commission income of Meituan’s catering take-out was 20.36 billion yuan, and the number of completed orders was 3.54 billion, with an average commission income of 575 yuan per order.

In the second quarter of 2020, the commission income of Meituan’s catering take-out was 12.72 billion yuan, and the number of completed orders was 2.23 billion, with an average commission income of 571 yuan per order, which means that the commission amount in the second quarter of this year was higher than that in the same period of last year, and the reform did not reduce the commission income of Meituan.

Increasing the commission leads to an increase in the company’s profit margin. Meituan revealed in the financial report that the operating profit of the food and beverage take-out division increased by 95.2% from RMB 1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2020 to RMB 2.4 billion in the same period of 2021, and the operating profit rate of this division increased by 2.0 percentage points from 8.6% year-on-year to 10.6%.

However, in the second quarter, the rider cost was 15.46 billion, which was little changed from the 15.38 billion in the first quarter. Obviously, the rider did not share the growth of the commission income of the US Mission.

This is somewhat embarrassing for Wang Xing, who advertises that "common prosperity" is rooted in the gene of Meituan.

It is worth noting that the food and beverage take-away business on which Meituan depends has ushered in new competitors. Recently, Tik Tok started the take-away business, and now has access to take-away brands that can deliver by themselves, such as KFC and Xicha. At the same time, Tik Tok also set up a team for take-away business, and in the internal test called "Heart Takeaway" business.

According to CBN, recently, a group of operators who were in charge of customers’ businesses in public comments switched to ByteDance to engage in commercialization-related businesses.

Ali has never given up the competition in the field of local life. On July 2, Alibaba announced a series of organizational upgrading decisions. Flying Pig and Gao De were merged into Ali’s local life, and Yu Yongfu became the CEO, which is considered to be a "hard" group for integrating resources.

In fact, the local life service market is a trillion-dollar track. According to the data released by iResearch, the current online penetration rate is only 12.7%. This huge cake is destined to be the long-term competition direction of Internet giants.

Or get a high ticket for antitrust investigation.

Compared with the performance, the market is more concerned about the progress of the anti-monopoly investigation of Meituan.

On April 26 this year, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued a notice, which will investigate the suspected monopolistic behavior of Meituan according to the report.

On the evening of August 30, the General Administration of Market Supervision said that under the administrative guidance of the General Administration of Market Supervision, eight shared consumer brand operating enterprises, namely Hello, Qingju, Meituan, Monster, Xiaodian, Jiaodian, Jiedian and Soudian, were actively rectified, and the price increase in the shared consumption sector was effectively curbed, and the price was gradually transparent and standardized.

Among them, more than 80,000 cabinets of Street Power were reduced in price, and thousands of cabinets of Small Power, Search Power, Monster and Meituan were reduced in price. At present, the average price of each brand is 2.2-3.3 yuan/hour, and cabinets with a price of 3 yuan or less per hour account for 69%-96%.

In the next step, the market supervision department will further strengthen the supervision in the field of shared consumption, requiring all enterprises to strictly review the internal compliance of price adjustment, and truthfully and timely publicize the pricing rules and standards.

In addition, the above-mentioned contents also mentioned that the General Administration of Market Supervision conducted an investigation into the failure of Meituan to declare its acquisition of mobike according to law. It is understood that in April, 2018, Meituan wholly acquired mobike at a price of 2.7 billion US dollars. After that, mobike’s founding team withdrew one after another, and mobike joined Meituan App and changed its name to Meituan Bicycle.

In the financial report, Meituan said that in April 2021, the State Administration of Markets launched relevant investigations on the Company in accordance with the Anti-Monopoly Law of the People’s Republic of China. As of the date of this report, the relevant investigation is still in progress, and the company actively cooperates with the investigation of the State Administration of Market Supervision.

According to the financial report, the company cannot predict the situation or results of relevant investigations at this stage, and may be required to change its business practices or be fined heavily.

Wang Xing expressed his views on a series of recent regulatory measures in anti-monopoly, data security and community e-commerce. He believes that these regulatory changes are meaningful for the sustained development and orderly growth of the Internet platform economy, and are also beneficial to promoting fair competition and development of the industry.

When some analysts asked about the impact of data security supervision on marketing advertising, Wang Xing said that the relevant supervision may have some impact on marketing advertising business, and the company is evaluating it.

If the punishment falls, how much will the US Mission be punished?

According to the anti-monopoly law, the fine amount is 1%-10% of the comprehensive turnover of the previous year, and the estimated fine range of Bank of Communications International Report is 4-12 billion yuan, accounting for 1-3% of the total transaction volume (GMV) of Meituan’s take-away business in 2018/19. Nomura said that if the fine is 4% of the previous year’s comprehensive turnover, Meituan may be fined 4.6 billion yuan.

This will seriously affect the future development of Meituan, whose new business is still in the investment period. According to incomplete statistics of public information, Radar Finance found that Meituan had lost two lawsuits about unfair competition.

In February this year, the judgment issued by the Intermediate People’s Court of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province showed that the unfair competition behavior of Jinhua Branch (Meituan) of Beijing Sankuai Technology Co., Ltd. damaged the legitimate rights and interests of ladas Company (Hungry) and should bear civil liability. The court gave full support to the hungry petition asking the US Mission to compensate for the economic loss of 1 million yuan.

In April, Meituan was again judged by the Intermediate People’s Court of Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province to compensate for the economic loss of 352,000 yuan, because Meituan had obvious unfair competition.

In response to supervision, Wang Xing stressed that the company will continue to strengthen compliance operations, improve the management and control of internal businesses, thoroughly examine and actively rectify related issues, and reduce operational risks.

Business model faces the impact of employment security

The problem facing Wang Xing is not only anti-monopoly, but also the protection of riders’ rights and interests has attracted the attention of relevant departments.

According to media reports, in May this year, when the government inspection team members were stationed in the Meituan, they consulted the inside of the Meituan on the remuneration of riders. According to the insiders of the company, the Meituan had 4.7 million riders, and most of them were dispatched by labor.

In view of the continuous influx of young and middle-aged people into the take-away industry, but they are outside the social security system, have no labor relations with the platform, and face the status quo of "the strictest algorithm" assessment, the rights and interests of take-away workers are increasingly concerned by the society.

Since July this year, a number of competent departments have jointly issued a series of guidance documents, which put forward all-round requirements for protecting the legitimate rights and interests of take-away food delivery personnel.

Specifically, there are three points that may affect the US delegation: ensuring that the rider’s salary is higher than the local legal minimum wage; Providing social security for full-time riders and industrial injury insurance for part-time riders; We should pay attention to the physical and mental health of workers, optimize the platform algorithm, and must not formulate assessment indicators that harm the safety and health of workers.

In the social security part, the document points out that it is necessary to urge the platform and third-party cooperative units to participate in social insurance for take-away food delivery personnel who establish labor relations, and encourage other take-away food delivery personnel to participate in social insurance.

It is learned from some take-away riders that at present, the take-away agents of Meituan need to bear commercial insurance by themselves, and the commercial insurance paid by Meituan is deducted from their commission every month. The Beijing area is around 150 yuan every month, and some second-and third-tier cities are lower than this amount.

According to the regulatory guidelines, this part will be paid by Meituan. According to the daily level of 3 yuan in second-and third-tier cities, the annual expenditure of this Meituan is about 5.1 billion yuan.

Tiger Securities believes that among the above-mentioned 4.7 million riders, assuming that the proportion of riders who confirm labor relations is 20%-30%, the average income of riders who sell out is about 6,000 yuan, and the median of the minimum social security base in different cities is about 3,000 yuan. Based on the current social security policy, the enterprise payment ratio is 32%. It is estimated that Meituan will pay 2.3-3.4 billion yuan more in social security fees every year.

Citic Securities commented that it is impossible to accurately quantify the impact of the supervision on the platform, such as rider social security and rights protection. However, logically, it is judged that the regulatory authorities did not intend to overthrow and subvert the existing business model of take-away, nor did they explicitly restrict its commercialization liquidity. Instead, they shifted the focus of the platform from simple efficiency improvement to rational distribution of income, and put forward higher standards and requirements for the stability and humanization of the ecology behind the entire platform.

Analysts believe that once the take-away platform pays insurance for large-scale riders, it means that its operating costs will increase, which will also have an impact on the business model of Meituan.

In terms of improving the welfare of take-away riders, Wang Xing introduced that Meituan will cooperate with the supervision to provide comprehensive welfare plans for take-away riders, and will upgrade the order delivery system and adjust the order system according to policy guidance to introduce compulsory rest for take-away riders.

The latest market value of Meituan, which is facing multiple difficulties, has evaporated by more than one trillion Hong Kong dollars compared with the high point of the year.

For the future trend of the US Mission, several institutions lowered their target prices. For example, UBS lowered its price by 6% to HK$ 330, Morgan Stanley lowered its price by 17% to HK$ 300, and Credit Suisse lowered its price from HK$ 374 a few days ago to HK$ 308, a decrease of 18%.

In August, 1931, Zhu Ziqing went to England to study linguistics and English literature for one year because of Tsinghua’s system arrangement for teaching study leave, and traveled to five European countries. As a foodie, after returning home, he not only involved in eating in the Miscellaneous Notes on a European Journey, but also mentioned the list of Chinese restaurants he had eaten in his diary, which was more in the author’s bibliography, leaving valuable materials for us to understand the situation of Chinese restaurants in Britain, especially in London. Later, Mr. Xia Nai studied in London for more than four years, and also left many records of Chinese restaurants. Therefore, although I am in "Diet Journey to the West"(Sanlian Bookstore Life Bookstore 2021 Edition)There has been a special chapter "English Chinese Food: From Sailors’ Pavilion to Hong Kong Pavilion" to discuss English Chinese restaurants in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, but this large amount of new historical materials is still enough to become a new chapter.

Zhu ziqing

First, laugh and tease the British diet

Mr. Zhu Ziqing pointed out at the beginning of the article "London Miscellanies, Eating":

When it comes to eating and drinking in Europe, who always thinks of Paris, London is not. Needless to say, just fried yam eggs. French cut into small dominoes, yellow, oily and delicious; Britain’s "Chip" is half yellow and half black, neither too hot nor too cold, and there is no smell in it. You can only be full. Besides, English food is eaten, and the main course is nothing more than fried beef ribs with sheep and two vegetarian dishes; A family has lived for four months, and has only eaten fried veal liver once, which is a new trick.(Zhu Ziqing’s Miscellaneous Notes on European Tour, Sanlian Bookstore, 1983, 155 pages)

London Miscellanies

His friend, Mr. Lin Yutang, has also greatly derogated from the British diet:

British people do not take food seriously, but regard it as a casual thing. This dangerous attitude can be found in their national life. If they know the taste of food, there will be words to express this meaning in their language. There was no word "cooking" in English, and they only had "cooking". They didn’t have proper words to call "chef", but simply called it "cook"; They didn’t say "menu" originally, but just called it "‘dishes’"; They didn’t have a word to call "gourmet", so they called it "Greedy Gut" (greedy belly) in nursery rhymes. In fact, the British don’t admit that they have stomachs … What the British are interested in is how to keep healthy and strong, such as eating more Bovril beef juice, so as to resist the attack of colds and save medical expenses.(Lin Yutang’s Chinese, Xuelin Press, 1994, 325 pages)

Xu Zhongpei, a famous journalist who was a special correspondent of the Central Daily News in London, simply said: "There is no cooking in Britain. Any vegetables are cooked in white. I often say that being a chef in Britain is the easiest job in the world. Anyone who has been to Britain knows that English food is boring."(Xu Zhongpei, London and I China Restaurant, Central Daily Weekly, No.5, 1948. Xu Zhongpei sometimes writes Xu Zhongpei. For example, when this article was published in the seventh issue of 147 Pictorial in the name of China Restaurant in London, it was signed by Xu Zhongpei. )

Zhu Ziqing arrived in Paris by land from Soviet Russia and then went to England, so he ate French food first, which was quite cheap and good: "September 7, 1931, Paris: dinner at the French hotel was worth five francs and seventy-five centimes, one meat and two vegetables, and a bottle of beer was very cheap." Therefore, when I went to London, I ate French food first among foreign dishes, and I even thought it was cheap and good: "September 11, 1931, London: I ate at Lyon restaurant, which was cheap and didn’t take tips, which was very good." I went on the next day, but I didn’t feel so good: "September 12, 1931, London: Dinner at Lyon restaurant, the mutton was very poor, the account was miscalculated, and the rest of the language was not enough." As for going to a small restaurant in England, there is no comment: "October 18, 1931, London: I had dinner with Tao Jun and Wang Zhaojun at a barbecue restaurant in the evening." "October 19th, 1931, London: Lunch at Express Dairy." Probably because it tastes bad. It wasn’t until a month later (Wednesday, November 25th, 1931) that I ate in a relatively high-end Imperial Hotel, but "lunch is good, it is expensive"-the British can still make a good taste for a penny, but the price/performance ratio is not attractive enough, so I "agreed with Tao to go to Lyon restaurant on Friday night"; "December 30, 1931, London: Dine at Lyon Restaurant in Piccadilly Circus", and continue to eat cheap and good French food. Later, Zhu Ziqing also found a great British restaurant with good quality and low price: "On December 8, 1931,London: Go to the Oxford Corner Hotel for dinner with Tao in the evening. As Tu told me, this is the palace of the poor! This nickname was taken by some British students. It’s really the largest restaurant I’ve ever been to. This restaurant is not only huge, but also beautifully decorated and has a good band. We can sit upstairs until twelve o’clock. The food here is much better than ordinary restaurants. "(Collected Works of Zhu Ziqing, Volume 9, Jiangsu Education Press, 1998, pages 41, 42, 59, 77, 95 and 82)

The Oxford Corner Hotel is a "poor man’s palace", and the Imperial Hotel is only relatively high-end. Anyway, "the first-class hotel has never been there". In addition to French food, Italian food, which is famous in continental Europe, is impossible for Zhu Ziqing not to taste, although it is not a first-class hotel:

Italian restaurants have been to two. The family is in Oxford Street, which is quite large, and there are female jugglers and dancers at dinner. I only remember that the first course was oysters and the like; A special dish with seven or eight round squares around the side, each with an oyster, tastes very elegant. The other one, Euston Road, is also a busy place. This family is small, and Tongxin powder is the best; Cut the flour into small circles half a minute long, fry it in yellow oil, spread it flat on a plate and sprinkle with cheese powder, which is relaxed and delicious. There are also fried "gas oysters", which are tender and fragrant, and the crickets and scallops can’t be reached; Only the oyster yellow in Ningbo seems to be close at hand.

Zhu Ziqing stayed in London for a year, but he didn’t cook by himself. He "went to eat two meals a day". It is reasonable to say that there were many restaurants to eat, but apart from remembering several French and Italian restaurants (of course, there are many Chinese restaurants, which will be described later), British local restaurants don’t remember much, either because they are small shops or because they don’t like English restaurants very much. In his love letter to Chen Zhuyin, he also said very briefly: "Most restaurants here are hosted by women. I went to a shop that didn’t give small bills, and the hospitality was good and bad! Some hosts are really scary! If a waiter has long eyelashes, as if he can’t see anything, and another asks what food he wants, these two are the most annoying; They are in the same family, so I don’t go there often. "(Zhu Qiaosen’s "Zhu Ziqing’s Love Letters", letter dated October 21, 1931, Jiangsu Education Press, 2001, 75 pages)

Zhu Ziqing’s daily visit to this small restaurant is probably the tea restaurant that he thinks best represents British cooking:

Old city restaurants and tea restaurants are the local flavor. Tea restaurant and frying shop are actually nicknames for small restaurants. The "rice" in the tea restaurant originally refers to lunch, but the things sold are not simple, and dinner is full; Besides frying beef, lamb chops and ribs, the frying shop also sells other things.

There are three cheap tea restaurants: LYONS, Express Milk Room and ABC Bakery. Each family has opened many stores, all over the city and outside; ABC is less and more expensive, and Laaynes is the most. The fried veal, veal liver and braised duck pieces in the express dairy are also delicious; They burn duck pieces with charcoal fire, so it has a China flavor. ABC fried beef liver can also be eaten, but it’s almost impossible to get old in a hurry; The dim sum is well baked, and several of them are comparable to the French bakery in Beiping. There doesn’t seem to be anything outstanding in Laaynes; But there are two "corner shops" in his house, both at the corner of downtown, but there are delicious foods there. The corner shop has two large rooms, one is upper and lower, and the other is three floors and three large rooms, which can accommodate about 1,500 people. There is a band playing in the evening. As soon as I entered, I saw it was dark and full of people. The corridor was narrow enough, but the weather was quite wide (a British student ridiculed it as "the palace of the poor", which might be good); There I often find and stand for a long time before waiting for an empty seat.(Zhu Ziqing’s Miscellaneous Notes on European Travel, Sanlian Bookstore, 1983, pp. 157-158)

He briefly said these things in his diary, just wondering if this tea restaurant has something to do with the tea restaurants that have been popular in Hong Kong since then. For lack of materials, I won’t go into it for the time being, but the expression in one of his diaries is very close: "January 6, 1932, London: I talked with Liu in the morning. We had lunch in a nearby teahouse. This teahouse is only visited by some workers. "(Collected Works of Zhu Ziqing, Volume 9, Jiangsu Education Press, 1998, 99 pages)

Zhu Ziqing has nothing to say about English restaurants, but he has said many times about the cooking skills of himself and his friend’s landlord, which makes him feel a little abnormal:

November 1, 1931, London: In the morning, it is advisable to go to Xu Zijun’s place and visit Windhoek Carmen. Xu Jun lives in a family with only one guest. The landlord is a widow, originally from Germany. Xu Yunshan cooks and cooks chicken soup as China does. He eats chicken twice a week, and the whole meal is only thirty-five shillings.

December 26, 1931, London: I had breakfast at Liu’s residence. I think the food here is better than ours, because the landlady is very attentive to everything. She also invited us to stay with her all day. Her words are so polite and humble that we can’t refuse them easily.

December 31, 1931, London: The food in Mr. Fu’s residence was good, and I drank too much wine.(Collected Works of Zhu Ziqing, Volume 9, Jiangsu Education Press, 1998, pp. 64, 92 and 95)

In the love letter, he also specifically talked about the cooking skills of his new landlord, and said it better: "November 9, 1932: I moved here on Monday, and everything was still comfortable … The cook was very good and the food was delicious, but after eating well these two days, my stomach became uncomfortable. You can blame it. It’s really an unappreciated stomach."(Zhu Qiaosen’s Handwriting of Zhu Ziqing’s Love Letters, Jiangsu Education Press, 2001, 92 pages)

Second, gather in China restaurant.

Zhu Ziqing said in "Miscellaneous Notes on Europe Tour": "There are seven or eight China Hotels in London, which are very different in price, depending on the place. Although there are some high and low dishes, they are all Cantonese in disguise, far less good than Shanghai Xinya. I asked for a bowl of chicken wonton in a Guangdong building, which is one yuan and sixty cents in China, which is expensive enough. "(Zhu Ziqing’s Miscellaneous Notes on European Tour, Sanlian Bookstore, 1983, 158 pages)It seems too bad and too expensive. However, he went to almost every one of these seven or eight restaurants, leaving their names in his diary, and his impression of the food was far better than this published account. We might as well sort it out one by one. Among them, the one who went the most was Shundonglou, which was first seen in the pen, and was recorded four times:

September 15, 1931, London: Lunch is at Shundong Building, invited by Liu Zhongxi.

October 8, 1931, London: Visiting Liu Zhongxi Jun, meeting Wang Shufang Jun, and studying mechanical engineering in Manchester factory. I met Wu Dingliang Jun, who was a student of No.5 Normal University. I heard his name for a long time, and now I have a doctorate. I still studied statistics from Karl Pearson and thought of getting a doctorate in science. He is very knowledgeable. The canal asked Liu Jun to go to the East Building for dinner, and I also kept pace with it. As a result, wu jun was the host; It is also so troublesome to invite people to a meal in a foreign country.

November 13th, 1931, London: Invited Mr. Zhou to have dinner in Shundong Building, where he met two China ladies who spoke Shanghai dialect. I haven’t heard Shanghainese for two months! Their style and manners are also a Shanghai style, and I hate and admire them, which is really contradictory.

November 28, 1931, London: I had lunch with Liu and Lu in Shundong Building.

Nanjing building was also recorded four times, but the first two times were given a "very good" evaluation, and it was not too expensive!

October 3, 1931, London: The meal was in Nanjing House, one third (pound), one soup and two dishes. It was very good and the dishes were extremely abundant.

October 7, 1931, London: Lunch at Nanjing Building, very good.

October 10, 1931, London: When I went to Nanjing Building for lunch, I met a China student and cursed an American student, saying that there was someone who wrote a paper on the evolution of women’s socks (high waist) and menstrual belt.

December 28, 1931, London: Mr. Luo visited. He told me something about the Christmas party at Nanjing Hotel. He said that someone named He accused everyone of indulging in pleasure at the meeting, but he himself came to London from Cambridge for pleasure!

Xinhua Weizhai recorded three times, two of which were alumni dinners, with Peking University alumni and Tsinghua alumni respectively; In my humble opinion, this is also a Chinese restaurant that has never been seen by others:

December 23, 1931, London: Old alumni of Peking University in London held a luncheon in Xinhua Weizhai, where everyone held a long talk.

December 27, 1931, London: Mr. Jia was invited to have lunch at Xinhua Weizhai.

January 1, 1932, London: Dinner with alumni from Tsinghua University in Xinhua Weizhai.

From the gathering of Nanjing Building mentioned above to the gathering of Xinhua Weizhai, Chinese restaurants are really the gathering place for international students, and Shanghai Building is famous for the gathering of Peking University alumni:

September 24th, 1931, London: Dinner at the Shanghai Building was rare in Chinese. The food is not bad

February 27, 1932, London: Dinner at Shanghai Building, which is famous in London for the gathering of Peking University alumni. At three o’clock, Lin Yutang gave a speech on "The Spirit of the Times of China Culture", and the discussion was very lively and interesting.

In addition to the above Chinese restaurants, Zhu Ziqing also visited Huaying Building and Xinyue Restaurant occasionally:

September 15, 1931, London: Dinner was invited by Mr. Luo, in Huaying Building, inferior to Shundong Building.

January 31, 1932, London: Attended the banquet of Dr. Lin (Yutang) at Xinyue Restaurant. After lunch, go to his place with him. He talked to me about his plans for a Chinese typewriter.(Collected Works of Zhu Ziqing, Volume IX, Jiangsu Education Press, 1998, pp. 43, 54, 70, 78, 51, 53, 55, 94, 89, 93, 97, 46, 118, 43 and 109)

Of course, these are not necessarily Mr. Zhu Ziqing’s complete records, and he has no obligation to remember them in every family. As far as I know, there are six restaurants, namely Shundong Building, Nanjing Hotel, Xinhua Weizhai Building, Shanghai Building, Huaying Building and Xinyue Restaurant, which are generally consistent with the seven or eight he mentioned in London Miscellanies-because he didn’t or didn’t want to or dared to go to the first-class hotel, while the most famous Chinese restaurants in Britain at that time were Xinghua Building and Flower Exploration Building. Mr. Hua Wu (Guo Zixiong) said: "The most luxurious apricot blossom building in Oxford Street was originally the first China restaurant in London. Most of the employers were outsiders, so poor students could not afford it." In Hua Wu’s pen, the flower exploration building can also be called a first-class hotel: "The flower exploration building at the bottom of the wall is very ostentatious, and poor students are not allowed to go."(London Sketch China Restaurant, Cosmic Wind, No.1, 1935)Expensive is only one aspect, and the key is delicious, otherwise it will be unkind; The Flower Exploration Building is worthy of its high price: "There are five or six China restaurants in London, and the equipment is good or bad. The Flower Exploration Building is the most expensive, and the food tastes similar. The expensive food is also very good, which is comparable to Shanghai’s elegance, but the cheap one will not work."(Mao Yugong’s Life in Britain, Jiaotong University Alumni, No.3, 1937, pp. 31-33)

Business Magazine, Volume 5, No.1, 1930, London Xinghualou Restaurant

Zhu Ziqing and poor students can’t afford to go to the Xinghua Building and the Flower Exploration Building, so who should go? The dignitaries can go. For example, when Hu Die, the winner of the film, visited Europe and arrived in Britain in 1935, she was seated here: "I had lunch at the Flower Exploration Building, and I met the Mr. Li, his wife and relatives I met in Paris. This gentleman is not only from Guangdong, but also from Heshan County, which is the same county as me. "(Hu Die’s Miscellaneous Notes on European Travel, Shanghai Liangyou Book Company, 1935, 97 pages)The Flower Exploration Building is often a place of diplomatic protocol: "Formal banquets or foreign guests of both sexes will accompany them to the Flower Exploration Building. The facilities in the restaurant are gorgeous, and the waiters in dresses are very arrogant. They open champagne, chew shark’s fin and drink bird’s nest soup during the music performance. Although it is somewhat incongruous, it is enough for ostentation and extravagance."(Jing Qing’s Talking about Eating, New China, Volume 3, No.20, 1935)As early as 1924, Liang Shiyi, the former Premier of the State, set off for Europe and America on March 5, and had a banquet with Ke Sze Sao, the British ambassador to the United States, in Tanhua Building on July 7 in London. In the evening, the farewell party of the British embassy is also in the Flower Exploration Building.(Chronicle of Liang Shiyi, edited by Fenggang and his disciples, Guangdong People’s Publishing House, 2014, 350 pages)

However, the new flower-exploring building opened later was unexpectedly cheap and fine, but strangely it belonged to the same boss:

I’m in China Restaurant in London, and I almost always go to the new flower exploration building in Wardour street, Piccadilly. Chinese eats a lot there, and gives special treatment to our own China compatriots. There are company dishes, about one shilling and nine servings for one person. There is already one soup and two stir-fried, and the rice is as full as possible, and there is a pot of good rain. The quality of western food is richer than that of five shillings. When I first arrived in London, I unfortunately ran to a flower exploration building, also in Piccadilly, which was opened by the same owner as the new flower exploration building. There is no company food there, and a bowl of sliced pork soup is not enough unless it is five shillings. Later, I went several times before I learned about this new flower exploration building. So in the future, in London, where the living standard is very high, I found this cheap and good canteen to satisfy my hunger.(Cang Sheng’s Miscellaneous Notes on Europe, Life in London, People’s Weekly, No.26, 1935)

Cang Sheng said that the food in Tanhualou was expensive but not delicious, probably because he was not used to the lightness of high-grade Cantonese food. And this is a calculation, and it has exceeded seven or eight. In fact, it is far more than these seven or eight. Jingbo, who came to Britain almost at the same time as Zhu Ziqing, mentioned a elegant building: "There are also several China restaurants in London, and sometimes they go there to satisfy their cravings. Because I’m tired of eating ham and eggs, and I’m just as uninterested as Japanese’ Misuo Xi Lu’, so we often find traces of Daya Building and Nanjing Building. "(Jing Bo’s Life of British Overseas Students, Reading Magazine, Volume 1, No.2, 1931)Mr. Yu Pingbo, who came earlier than Zhu Ziqing, has been in London for less than half a month, but he has repeatedly mentioned a China Lou Chinese restaurant:

On February 22, 1920, I drove at 8: 35 (from Liverpool) and arrived in London at 2 pm. Chen, Wu and Ren Junjun came to meet them and went to the Students’ Union in Britain. ….. Night in China building for dinner, and talk to the club.

24th: In the afternoon, I was managing things. It takes fifty shillings a week to find a house in Qian Yi Chenopodium to the southwest. Dinner at China Building in the evening.

February 28th: In the afternoon, Qian came to Fuyu and met Chen Jun (Xiying). Chen asked Ren, Fu and I to have dinner in China.

March 1st: Xie Fu invited Wu, Ren, Chen, Yang and Zhang to dinner in China Building.(The Complete Works of Yu Pingbo, Volume 10, Huashan Literature and Art Publishing House, 1997, Foreign Diary, A, pp. 162-163)

Two or three years later, Xia Nai, who came to the University of London in the autumn of 1935 to study archaeology and later became a famous archaeologist, went to restaurants from time to time and basically only went to Chinese restaurants, but said that "there are five China hotels in London", which is obviously a glimpse of the scholar-he has eaten more than five Chinese restaurants later, and he has never been to such famous restaurants as Xinghualou and Tanhualou. Besides, he can’t afford to go or he can’t bear to go. It is not easy to study because of the prosperity of the anti-Japanese war, and he wants to study for a few more years with limited funds; By August 31, 1938, his public expenses had expired, and "research work, beaded cataloging, reached No.360", although fruitful, was still not finished. "The accumulation of frugality and food was enough for more than one year", so although I lamented "three years of overseas blood and tears", why bother! " Still insisted on returning to China through Egypt after the outbreak of World War II in Europe in the autumn of 1939. However, he worked in Cairo Museum for more than a year before arriving in Kunming in early 1941 via West Asia, India and Myanmar. "His doctorate in Egyptian archaeology from London University was awarded in 1946 after the war."(Diary of Xia Nai, East China Normal University Press, 2011 edition, Volume II, page 225, with Wang Zhongshu’s Biography of Mr. Xia Nai attached to the first book).

Xia Nai

Like Zhu Ziqing, the Chinese restaurant that Xia Nai visited the most was Shundong Building, and as soon as he arrived in London, he went: "September 3, 1935: arrived in London at 6 pm … and went to Shundong Building to eat Chinese food." The next day, I went again: "September 6, 1935: In the afternoon, Tan (Ji Fu), Zeng (Soyul) and Zhou (Jianbei) came to Shun East Building for dinner." Then I rented a good room (September 6, 1935), "My bedroom is 35 shillings a week, including meals", but I still often go to Chinese restaurants, which is still the first choice for Shundong Building:

September 27th, 1935: I visited Tan Jifu Jun with Chen Fengshu Jun in the morning. He came from Birmingham and will go back to school next week. In the afternoon, I went to the city to watch movies. After the break, I went to Shun East Building to eat Chinese food and drink beer. There were 7 people present (Tan Jun, Zhou Jun, Zeng, Chen and I), and Chen Jun was the host, which cost a total of 35 shillings. The food is not expensive, 2 shillings for each guest, and 1 shilling for a bottle of beer. Even I can drink two bottles, and I drank 15 bottles in total (the small bottle can only hold one cup).

October 6, 1935: At the invitation of Wu Jinding Jun, I went into the city and arrived at Shundong Building. It was originally scheduled to be 12: 30. Today is the first day of winter. The clock in London was set back at 1: 00, and the rest was still at 11: 30. I strolled nearby, including Beijing Building, New Flower Exploration Building and New China Building. (Press: The Beijing Building and the New China Building, which were not mentioned by the above-mentioned scholars)

November 20, 1935: I went to Li Chaoying for an appointment with Jun, and went to Shundong Building for lunch. Mrs. Li Jun was also present, and she was from Hangzhou.

November 22, 1935: Lin Changfeng and Li Chaoying were scheduled to eat together in Shundong Building, and Li Furen was also present.

During the first few months in London in 1935, I only went to Shundonglou and never went to other Chinese restaurants. I really loved it. Dear, go on. In 1936, I first went to the Beijing Building: "February 6, 1936: I went to the British Museum with Wu Jun and had lunch with the Beijing Building to talk casually about the archaeology in China." Throughout the year, except for this time, I have been to Beijing Building, and the rest have continued to go to Shundong Building:

July 25th, 1936: I went to town with Chen Jun, and went to Shundong Building for dinner. Take the 3 o’clock train to Dorchester.

October 7, 1936: In the afternoon, I went to the British Museum, met with Xiang Juemingjun, talked until the evening, and went to the Shundong Building for dinner.

Next, shortly after the beginning of the new year in 1937, I went out to eat for the first time, and went to a Chinese restaurant and Shun East Building: "January 9, 1937: I went to Wu Qiyuan’s place with Chen Jun in the afternoon, Luo Fengchao and Li Mingqijun lived in a room with Wu Jun, played bridge and went to Shun East Building for dinner." There is a Beiping Building in the middle: "January 23, 1937: I made an appointment with Mr. Li (Ji), Mr. and Mrs. wu jun, Xiang Jueming and Zeng Zhaosui to have dinner at Beiping Building." The rest are basically going to Shun East Building:

June 19th, 1937: Zhong Daoming was invited to dinner at the Beijing Building, so that Zhong Jun would return to China next month.

June 27th, 1937: At the invitation of Jun, we should have a dinner in Shundong Building in the evening to see Ms. Zeng and Mr. and Mrs. wu jun off.

July 24, 1939: The Anti-Japanese War Daily began to be compiled today, and it arrived every two weeks in turn. Braving the heavy rain to report to the Chinese Association, I came across Mr. Yuan Jiahua, invited him to Shun East Building for China dinner, led him to his apartment, and chatted until 10 o’clock.

September 24, 1938: Wang Weicheng came from Oxford and invited him to Shun East Building for dinner.(Diary of Xia Nai, East China Normal University Press, 2011 edition, Volume I, pages 356-357, 368, 372 and 392; Volume II, pages 10, 56, 69, 74, 88, 90, 92, 109-114, 116-118, 125, 215-216, 232, 233, 249, 250, 252, 260 and 264).

Among the English Chinese restaurants written by most scholars or literati in the Republic of China, Shundong Building is certainly not as high-end and famous as Xinghua Building and Flower Exploration Building, but only the traces of Zhu Ziqing and Xia Nai in those years and the stories of scholars written by them are enough to last for a long time.

China Restaurant in London, Volume 4, No.6, 147 Pictorial, 1946.

Zhu Ziqing occasionally goes to Shanghai Building and Huaying Building, while Xia Nai occasionally goes to Shanghai Building and Zhongshan Building:

September 28th, 1939: At noon, Professor glanville was invited for lunch in Shanghai Building, accompanied by Dr. baumgartel and Miss Macharge (Miss Macharg).

October 21, 1939: The landlord and his wife treated me well. Last week, they took the opportunity of the landlord to leave the camp and invited them to Zhongshan Building for a banquet.(Diary of Xia Nai, Volume II, East China Normal University Press, 2011, pages 260 and 264)

Zhongshan Building is unknown, but Shanghai Building and Huaying Building are quite stories. For example, Xu Zhongpei, a famous reporter of the Central Daily News in London, has a soft spot for Shanghai buildings. She wrote in "London and Me: China Restaurant": "My favorite restaurant is the Shanghai Building, which is located in Greek Street and presided over by a lady of mixed Chinese and English. This restaurant was originally opened by a Chinese. He married an English wife and had a large number of children. When he died, he entrusted the management of his life to the big lady, and the big lady did not live up to it. He managed it prosperously. I think the first reason why I like Shanghai Building is that it has a quiet environment, but the biggest reason is that it has two dishes, one is sausage, the other is tofu, and I can occasionally eat vermicelli soup there. Later, we became acquainted with our eldest sister, who often served us a dish of fermented bean curd with our thanks. "(Xu Zhongpei’s London and I China Restaurant, Central Daily Weekly, No.5, 1948)

Jing Qing’s "Talking about Eating" is also written in the Shanghai Building. In her opinion, it’s just a small restaurant that eats snacks: "Young tycoons, wealthy residents and businessmen, large and small diplomats of embassies … when they have casual snacks, they will go to the Shanghai Building or Shundong Building, and formal banquets or male and female foreign guests will accompany them to the Flower Exploration Building."

In the records of the late 1940s, Shanghai seems to be the top Chinese restaurant: "There are about 30 restaurants in China in London, but only Shanghai Tower and World are appreciated by Chinese himself. The Shanghai building is exceptionally elegant, with two or three elegant rooms and halls, walls full of famous paintings and calligraphy, and several landscapes and figures of Hunan embroidery. With these things, we can also attract western customers and comfort the official and business students from the motherland who go to Britain. In addition to painting and calligraphy, the world also has the scenery of China with oil paintings on the walls, which is also unique. As for the cups, plates and bowls of porcelain, ivory chopsticks are even more exquisite than ordinary restaurants in China.(Tan Naxi’s Memories of Traveling Around: Newspaper Street and China Restaurant in London, Central Daily Weekly, No.10, 1947)If you don’t dare, you must.

Huaying Building is near the New Oxford Street, where Mr. Hua Wu (Guo Zixiong) first ate in London. Its boss is a Cantonese. It is said that he first worked as a servant in another China restaurant. Later, after earning a few dollars, he opened this restaurant alone. His wife is his colleague who used to work as a servant, and from the following description, she should be an English woman. And it is his foreign wife who shows his demeanor:

This proprietress is in her thirties, wearing a pair of small glasses, and her attitude is very mild. Sometimes her classmates catch a cold, so she gives you some medicine to eat, which is very effective. Later, the boss of Huaying Building gave up his business and returned to Guangdong with his wife and two children. Before leaving, the proprietress said, "My husband is Chinese, I want to be Chinese, and my son has to be Chinese and study China. Like you, you will work for your country in the future. I can’t live here permanently and let my sons grow up here, so that when they grow up, the British don’t recognize them as British and Chinese doesn’t recognize them as Chinese. For them, let’s go back to China. China is our country, right? "(Hua Wu’s Sketch of London China Restaurant, Cosmic Wind, No.9, 1936)

In his love letter to Chen Zhuyin during his study tour in Britain, Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote that "most hotels here are hosted by women" and that "there are also one or two male students who marry Chinese and foreign hybrid women and foreign women, but all of them are waitresses, and no matter how high they are, they will not marry Chinese".(Zhu Qiaosen’s Handwriting of Zhu Ziqing’s Love Letters, Jiangsu Education Press, 2001, 75 pages)Why don’t you write about the hostess in these Chinese restaurants? It’s a pity.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 26th(International Observation) Deconstructing the Four Fallacies of Decoupling Theory

　　Xinhua news agency reporter

　　Since the beginning of this year, some political and economic forces in the United States and the West, together with the media, have encouraged western enterprises to "decouple from China", and sometimes said that China’s economic fluctuations are "worrying".

　　When encouraging "decoupling from China", it tried its best to dwarf the global position of China’s economy; While hyping the so-called "China’s economy is a drag on the world", it also talks about the international influence of China’s economy. This self-inconsistent decoupling theory, like the so-called China’s economic collapse theory and threat theory, violates economic laws and is divorced from objective reality, exposing the fallacies of some western politicians’ zero-sum thinking, going against the general trend, harming others and misreading China.

　　This is the Dalanping operation area (drone photo) in Qinzhou Port Area of Beibu Gulf Port, which was taken on August 27, 2022 near the outlet of Pinglu Canal. (Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Cao Yuming)

　　The fallacy of zero-sum thinking

　　Advocating "decoupling theory" is rooted in the zero-sum thinking of some people. They can’t tolerate the success of non-Western development model, regard China as a competitor rather than a partner, and use "decoupling" as a new weapon against China.

　　Surab Gupta, a senior researcher at the Center for Sino-American Studies, an American think tank, pointed out that a few western countries promoted "decoupling" to contain China, and their zero-sum obsession was exactly the same as during the Cold War, but now western countries and China share many common interests, and it is not in the interests of all parties to handle economic and trade relations with China with zero-sum thinking.

　　On the issue of economic development, the United States and the West have always boasted that the market economy is "noble and decent", packaged the western model as the "only" development truth, used to discourse hegemony, peddled and sold the western model everywhere, and attempted to profit from it by controlling the development of other countries. Once other countries refuse to submit, they will be discredited and isolated and labeled as "non-market economy" and "distorted competition".

　　From Latin American debt trap to Russian-style "shock therapy", from Southeast Asian financial crisis to international financial crisis, from provoking trade disputes with China to advocating "decoupling theory" … … Looking back at the "history of crisis manufacturing" of American and western powers in the past decades, its black hand of instigating chaos, violating the market and creating fragmentation has never stopped.

　　During this period, China followed the laws of the market, based on the national conditions and world conditions, successfully embarked on the road of Chinese modernization, and also provided a brand-new choice for countries and nations in the world who wanted to speed up their development and maintain their independence.

　　It should be noted that if China blindly covers up the truth and slanders China’s economy without a bottom line just because it has not developed according to the western script, it will not only mislead some market players and miss the opportunity of win-win cooperation with China, but also will eventually bite the credibility of the rumor mongers themselves.

　　The fallacy of violating the general trend

　　Some people in the West actively "build momentum" around "decoupling" from China, but ignore and go against the "general trend" of economic globalization that China’s development conforms to.

　　The 5th China International Import Expo held in November this year attracted a large number of merchants, attracting 145 countries, regions and international organizations to participate, including about 200 American enterprises. This is another footnote for economic globalization to show its resilience and vitality under the headwind of protectionism.

　　Compared with those western politicians and media who often clamor for "decoupling theory", pragmatic global enterprises actively embrace the China market with practical actions. Craig Allen, President of u.s.-china business council, said that American enterprises are very satisfied with the achievements of their participation in China International Import Expo(CIIE) in recent years, and all want to expand the exhibition area.

　　For decades, economic globalization has promoted the continuous expansion of industrial chain, value chain and supply chain, and the global flow of production factors has provided strong impetus for the world economy and converged into an irresistible trend of globalization.

　　According to data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, global trade reached US$ 28.5 trillion last year, an increase of 25% over 2020 and 13% higher than that in 2019 before the COVID-19 outbreak; The global trade volume is expected to reach a record level of about 32 trillion US dollars in 2022; Last year, the global foreign direct investment (FDI) increased by 64% to 1.58 trillion US dollars compared with 2020, which was also higher than the pre-epidemic level.

　　While the decoupling theory is heating up, the economic and trade relations between China and the West are still deepening. According to data from the General Administration of Customs of China, the trade volume between China and the United States reached 4.88 trillion yuan in 2021, an increase of 20.2%; In the first 11 months of this year, the trade volume between China and the United States was 4.62 trillion yuan, up 4.8%, while the trade volume between China and Europe reached 5.17 trillion yuan, up 7.0%. China remains the largest trading partner of the EU, and the EU continues to be the second largest trading partner of China.

　　Facts have proved that the global economy is already a "community", and the attempt to achieve "winner takes all" through an exclusive agreement or a protectionist policy is neither feasible nor feasible. It is the general trend that different economies are interdependent and win-win cooperation. As Vernon Smith, the Nobel laureate in economics, said, "All countries that strive to expand trade are and will always be winners."

　　The fallacy of harming others and yourself

　　Advocating "decoupling theory" reflects the plot of some people in the west to build high walls of small courtyards and enjoy development opportunities exclusively. The fact is, the more a country’s politicians are keen to advocate and practice the "decoupling theory", the more they will make their domestic enterprises and economy suffer, and the more they will add to the economic and trade partners and the world economy.

　　The report released by the American Chamber of Commerce shows that "decoupling" from China seriously threatens the interests of the United States in the fields of trade, investment, services and industry: if tariffs are imposed on all goods exported from China to the United States, the US economy will lose 190 billion US dollars every year before 2025; American investors may lose $25 billion in capital gains each year due to "decoupling", and the gross domestic product (GDP) will lose up to $500 billion … …

　　The Iff Institute for Economics, a German think tank, estimates that if EU enterprises are "decoupled" from China under American pressure, the trade volume between Germany and China will drop sharply. In the worst case, Germany’s GDP will be reduced by 0.81%, which is equivalent to six times the decline of Germany’s GDP when Britain left the European Union, or it will lead to economic downturn and mass unemployment.

　　Colin Grabots, a trade expert at the Kaito Institution in the United States, said that preventing Americans from buying foreign products or bringing other countries into the supply chain would only deprive Americans of the long-term benefits of low inflation. Mark L. Busch, a professor at Georgetown University in the United States, also believes that trying to ensure the so-called supply chain security with protectionism will only make the United States suffer more losses.

　　The Economist commented that if countries regress on the issue of globalization, it will not only seriously hurt the world economy, but also cause unforeseen new pain points.

　　In fact, the policy tendency of "decoupling" used by some American politicians is undifferentiated and expanding, and it is beginning to bite the transatlantic supply chain relationship. Domestic legislation, such as the Inflation Reduction Act recently promulgated by the United States, has a strong unilateralism and protectionism, which has aroused the concern of many western economies. Many European leaders believe that the subsidy measures involved in the relevant bill seriously distort the market and harm European interests, which may lead to "closed markets" and "destruction of key supply chains that have been hit by the epidemic".

　　Misreading China’s fallacy

　　Advocating "decoupling theory" reflects the blind "self-confidence" of some people in the West who misread China and thought they could curb the development of China. They please domestic populist forces, constantly mislead public opinion around the topic of China, and completely ignore China’s great contribution to world economic prosperity and global supply chain stability.

　　For decades, the process of China’s economic development and prosperity is not only a win-win cooperation between China and foreign countries, but also a continuous bankruptcy process of various western fallacies such as "China collapse theory" and "China threat theory". Like all previous fallacies, "decoupling theory" is just another "reverse indicator" reflecting the real situation of China’s economy and Sino-foreign relations.

　　In the past decade, the proportion of China’s total economic output in the global economy has increased from 11.4% to more than 18%, and its contribution to world economic growth has remained at around 30% on the whole. The added value of manufacturing industry has increased from 22.5% to nearly 30% in the world, but the carbon dioxide emissions per unit GDP have decreased by about 34%. Building the largest social security system in the world and building a well-off society in an all-round way has historically solved the problem of absolute poverty.

　　Today, China’s economy is on a road of higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development. Many overseas people and institutions believe that China’s economy has strong resilience, great potential and sufficient vitality, and will continue to provide a strong impetus for the recovery of the world economy.

　　Jeffrey Sachs, a famous American economist, described "decoupling theory" as "naive" and "narrow-minded". He said that the "decoupling theory" transmits "wrong information", which goes against the actual needs of the world. In the long run, the development momentum of China is "very positive". Western countries should not put pressure on China in the fields of technology and trade, or even clamor for "decoupling". Instead, they should actively cooperate with China and seek a win-win situation.

　　Sharif Ghali, head of the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Abuja, believes that China’s influence is increasing and its position in the global supply chain cannot be replaced. The so-called "decoupling from China" is an unrealistic dream. China’s success has made developing countries’ right to speak internationally continuously, making globalization fairer and more inclusive. "Decoupling" from China means decoupling from opportunities and future.

　　Practice has proved that win-win cooperation and common development among all countries are the right way. Superstition in the law of the jungle will only aggravate the development rift, lead to polarization between the rich and the poor, widen the North-South gap and hinder global development. Only by insisting on opening up for development, holding hands instead of letting go, tearing down walls instead of building walls, replacing zero-sum games with dialogue and cooperation, and replacing closed exclusivity with openness and tolerance, can all countries gather the majestic power of win-win cooperation and walk on the bright road of common development.

Trial site

　　Recently, a foot bath shop in Zizhong, Sichuan Province is busy canceling its business license, preparing to change its name, and has removed all the relevant signs of "Fuqiao" in the store. More than three years ago, the store joined Chongqing Guo Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd., claiming that the other party had issued a Transfer Agreement to enjoy the ownership of all trademarks under the name of Chongqing Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd., and authorized it to use the "Chongqing Fuqiao" trademark and trade name.

　　In February this year, Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holding Co., Ltd. (Chongqing Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd. Holding Co., Ltd.) sued the court, demanding that the store stop the infringement and make corresponding compensation on the grounds that it infringed the trademark right of Fuqiao. In the end, under the mediation of the court, the two parties reached a mediation agreement voluntarily, and the store stopped using the trademark "Fuqiao" and paid Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holdings Co., Ltd. 60,000 yuan in one lump sum.

　　lawsuit

　　Three years after joining "Guo Fuqiao", he was sued for trademark infringement.

　　In October 2015, Ms. Zhang from Zizhong County, Neijiang City and her friends planned to do foot bath health care business. After investigation, they were introduced and finally decided to join a foot bath brand in Chongqing.

　　According to Ms. Zhang, the owner of the store, they joined Chongqing Guo Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd., and the initial fee was 160,000 yuan. When signing the Franchise Contract, the other party also issued a sealed Transfer Agreement. It is stated in the Transfer Agreement that the transferor is Chongqing Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd. and the transferee is Chongqing Guoshi Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd., and the content is that the transferor transfers all the trademarks under its name (including those in the application process) to the transferee for free and permanently, and the two companies share the ownership.

　　"They also gave us the power of attorney and the transfer procedures." The Power of Attorney submitted by Ms. Zhang to the court shows that she is authorized to open a franchise store of "Chongqing Fuqiao" in Zizhong County and use the trademark and trade name of "Chongqing Fuqiao" for a period of five years until October 2020.

　　After joining, the Guo Fuqiao Foot Bath Shop in Zizhong County, which was opened by Ms. Zhang and her partners, quickly started to operate. However, in February this year, she received a summons from the court. Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holdings Co., Ltd. sued the foot bath shop it operated to Neijiang Intermediate People’s Court on the grounds that it infringed the trademark right of Fuqiao.

　　mediate

　　"Lost" 60,000 foot bath shops and took down the "rich overseas Chinese" sign.

　　On April 26th this year, Neijiang Intermediate People’s Court heard the case. During the trial, Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holdings Co., Ltd. requested the court to order the Guo Fuqiao Foot Bath Shop in Zizhong County to immediately stop using three trademarks related to Fuqiao, such as Fuqiao and Tufu Foot Massage, to dismantle the shop signs and doorknobs with the same and similar signs such as Fuqiao, and to compensate the plaintiff for economic losses of 400,000 yuan. The entrusted agent of Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holdings Co., Ltd. also claimed that the company did not authorize the trademark to a third party, and believed that the store was an infringement without the legal authorization of Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holdings Co., Ltd.

　　On the other hand, the Guo Fuqiao Foot Bath Shop in Zizhong County argued that there was no infringement. The shop believed that its business behavior was licensed by Chongqing Guo Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd., and the company and Chongqing Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd. had the transfer relationship of the right to use three trademarks involved. In addition, after joining the store, the shop signs, decoration and quilt cover used for decoration are provided by Chongqing Guo Fuqiao Health Care Service Co., Ltd.

　　After the recess, the two sides conducted mediation under the auspices of the court and finally reached a Mediation Agreement voluntarily. According to the Mediation Agreement, within 60 days, the Guo Fuqiao Foot Bath Shop in Zizhong County will dismantle the shop signs and doorways with the same or similar signs such as "Fuqiao" and stop using the "Fuqiao" sign in the name of the enterprise and in providing services or publicity. In addition, the store also paid 60,000 yuan to Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holding Co., Ltd. in one lump sum.

　　On July 29th, the relevant person in charge of the store told the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalist that all the signs of "Fuqiao" had been removed from the store, and he had applied for cancellation of business license and was ready to change his name. The person in charge also said that when joining Chongqing Guo Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd., the other party had authorized the store to use both the "Guo Fuqiao" logo and the "Chongqing Fuqiao" trademark.

　　Regarding whether Chongqing Guo Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd. ever obtained the trademark ownership under the name of Chongqing Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd., and whether it authorized franchisees to use the "Fuqiao" trademark, the relevant person in charge of Chongqing Guo Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd. said that it was not until 2017 that the company stopped the ownership of the trademark under the name of Chongqing Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd., but it is not clear whether it authorized franchisees to use the "Fuqiao" trademark.

　　The agent of Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holdings Co., Ltd. said in the trial that he did not authorize any third party, but the situation mentioned by the relevant person in charge of Chongqing Guo Fuqiao obviously conflicts with it. What kind of situation exists between the two parties is also unknown.

　　observe

　　"Fuqiao" once defended rights throughout the country.

　　There are different judgments on whether to "join" through a third party.

　　Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalists searched on China Judgment Document Network and China Court Trial Open Network, and found that trademark infringement cases brought to court by Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holding Co., Ltd. existed in many courts all over the country, among which some cases were withdrawn due to out-of-court settlement.

　　Announcement:

　　Defend the rights of counterfeit "Fuqiao" brands.

　　On the official website of Chongqing Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd., at least three related Declarations or Announcements claim that the trademark of Fuqiao has been infringed and will be protected. Among them, in June 2017, the company claimed that someone engaged in franchise chain business and other marketing activities in the name of Chongqing Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd. or Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holding Co., Ltd. without authorization, the company solemnly declared that the contract, agreement and other improper marketing activities of Fuqiao franchise chain signed by the legal representative of the company had nothing to do with Chongqing Fuqiao and Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holding Co., Ltd.

　　In April last year, the company announced again that it was about to launch a nationwide campaign to clean up counterfeit "Fuqiao" brands, and stopped the management function and authority of the original management company Chongqing Wuhuan Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd. for all Chongqing Fuqiao franchise stores. In November last year, the company stated in its "Important Statement" that it was illegal to authorize a number of shops in the market that were fake Chongqing Fuqiao. After investigation by the company, it was found that all the fake authorized Fuqiao stores were authorized by the former executives of Chongqing Wuhuan Fuqiao Health Care Co., Ltd. together with the legal representative of Chongqing Jiagui Fuqiao Foot Bath Co., Ltd. to deceive franchisees, which were illegal.

　　Case:

　　A court ruled that "franchise stores" were not infringing.

　　According to public media reports, Fuqiao Foot Bath was originally built by four brothers of Guo family from scratch, and then divided into Chongqing Fuqiao Health Service Co., Ltd., "Jiafuqiao", "Guo Fuqiao" and "Jiaguifuqiao". According to the judgment published by China Judgment Document Network, some foot bath shops use the trademark of "Fuqiao" when they join "Jiafufuqiao" or "Jiaguifuqiao", but some courts have ruled that "franchisees" have infringed on the economic losses and rights protection expenses of Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holdings Co., Ltd., and some courts have ruled that "franchisees" do not infringe and are not liable for compensation.

　　In December last year, the Intermediate People’s Court of Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province ruled that a local Xuanhua Fuqiao Foot Health Care Center, which joined Jiafufuqiao, immediately stopped the infringement and compensated Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holding Co., Ltd. for economic losses, notary fees, attorney fees and other 15,000 yuan. In January this year, the Tianjin Higher People’s Court held that the trademark "Fuqiao" used by the local Jindao Foot Bath Company was the Franchise franchise chain Contract (Dispatch Management) signed with "Jiagui Fuqiao" and the Power of Attorney issued by Jiagui Fuqiao Company to franchisees, etc. Jindao Foot Bath Company had fulfilled its duty of reasonable care and paid a reasonable consideration for the trademark involved, so it was not subjectively wrong and did not constitute a trademark.

Seal is a kind of mammal, belonging to Carnivora and Sealidae. They vary in size, from baby seals weighing only tens of kilograms to North Sea leopards weighing over 300 kilograms. Therefore, the size of different kinds of seals varies greatly.

As for the name "Seal 06", it may refer to a specific seal species or model. However, due to the lack of more information, I am not sure what kind of seal it refers to or what its size is. If you can provide more detailed information, I will try my best to help you find the answer.
