　　From the usual 20 thousand yuan/ton, it has risen to more than 300 thousand yuan/ton, and the industry expects it to rise in the future … … Melt-blown non-woven fabrics (hereinafter referred to as melt-blown fabrics), known as the "heart" of masks, have increased their prices by more than 15 times in recent months, forming a very strong seller’s market.

　　During the epidemic period, masks are important protective equipment, and they have become a must-have for first-line medical care, enterprises returning to work, and people traveling, and the market demand has soared. The new production capacity of masks in China has doubled rapidly, and the supply of melt-blown cloth, the core raw material, is in short supply.

　　How scarce are the core raw materials of masks? What is the root cause of the skyrocketing price of meltblown fabrics? A large number of mask production lines have been put into production. Why don’t manufacturers take the opportunity to expand the production capacity of meltblown fabrics? When can we alleviate the shortage of raw materials for masks? With relevant questions, the reporter tracked the upstream industrial chain of masks and investigated key production links such as mask factories, cloth factories and material factories.

　　Tight cloth

　　Melt-blown fabrics are in short supply and their prices are rising rapidly, forming a very strong seller’s market.

　　"Everything is easy to say except meltblown cloth." In a mask supply sharing exchange group, a manufacturer said this.

　　The group brings together more than 100 related manufacturers in the upstream and downstream of the mask industry, and they will exchange information related to masks in the group. Although the prices of materials such as ear straps and nose bridge strips are also rising, the supply is not in short supply. Only meltblown cloth forms a very strong seller’s market.

　　"Recently, the inquiry for meltblown fabrics has quoted at least 200,000 yuan/ton, and it is not unusual for 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. Two weeks ago, we purchased 80,000 yuan/ton, and the highest was 120,000 yuan/ton. " Recently, a Shandong clothing company that switched to masks and other epidemic prevention materials "has no way to find materials". Ding Yan, the person in charge of the company, said that the rapid rise in the price of meltblown fabrics made people unprepared.

　　Melt-blown cloth is the key material to filter viruses for masks, and it can be called the "heart" of medical surgical masks and N95 masks. Medical surgical masks generally adopt multi-layer structure, which is called SMS structure for short: single-layer spunbonded layer (S) on the inside and outside, and single-layer or multi-layer meltblown layer (M) in the middle, and meltblown cloth is the best material for the meltblown layer.

　　Without meltblown cloth, we can only "let the machine wait for the cloth" Qingdao Hainuo Bioengineering Co., Ltd. owns two production lines of medical surgical masks and one production line of civil masks. They once reported to the local government that some production lines had to stop production because of the shortage of raw materials and the unavailability of goods.

　　"Meltblown fabrics that meet medical standards can’t be bought now," said the person in charge of Sheng Da Medical Hygiene Materials Co., Ltd., whose inventory of meltblown fabrics can only be used until the beginning of March. The company now has a mask production line, and two new lines will arrive at the factory in early March, when the daily demand for meltblown fabrics will increase from the current 80 to 90 kilograms to about 200 kilograms. If meltblown fabrics can’t be purchased, the new lines will be difficult to put into production. At present, the company has reported the demand information to government departments, hoping to solve the problem of medical meltblown cloth gap in the near future.

　　A flood of demand

　　On the demand side of melt-blown fabrics, the number of masks has increased greatly, and some manufacturers are looking for materials everywhere to raise the price of fabrics.

　　According to the introduction of the National Development and Reform Commission, the current capacity utilization rate of masks in China has reached 110%. As of February 29th, the daily capacity of masks in China has reached 110 million, and the daily output has reached 116 million. At present, 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities except Tibet have successively set up new mask production lines, and at the same time, new mask production lines will be put into production. The person in charge of China Textile Business Association said that in the future, the market demand for meltblown fabrics will further increase.

　　In order to alleviate the shortage of masks, it has become an important way for non-mask manufacturers to become mask manufacturers. At present, many governments have opened up green channels to speed up examination and approval, and encouraged enterprises related to the industrial chain to switch to emergency production. Based on industrial and commercial registration’s changed information, from January 1st to February 7th, more than 3,000 enterprises in China added "masks, protective clothing, disinfectant, thermometers and medical devices" to their business scope.

　　In the "Docking Zone for Production Process of Key Medical Prevention and Control Materials" launched by the State Council Client applet on February 21st, the reporter saw that most enterprises are seeking the supply of meltblown cloth.

　　The reporter found that the recent surge in cloth prices was mainly reflected by small and medium-sized mask factories and new mask factories that had just changed production. The relevant person in charge of the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology said that the price of masks is high, and the production of masks is profitable. Coupled with the initiative of local governments, many enterprises have switched to masks, and the demand for raw materials has increased greatly, and the supply is not enough.

　　In order to ensure the supply of epidemic prevention materials in the first line of medical care, the national and local industry and information departments have formulated a number of key enterprises to ensure materials. The production of these mask factories and cloth factories is monitored by the government, and the sales are dispatched by the government, and the price increase is relatively controllable. However, people in the industry believe that there are a large number of mask factories that have emerged recently, and there are no stable suppliers. They can only look for raw materials everywhere, and they will not hesitate to buy materials.

　　A restless supply of goods

　　At the supply end of meltblown cloth, there are small factories sitting on the ground, and at the circulation end of meltblown cloth, there are middlemen who take the opportunity to earn the difference.

　　Walking into the factory of Shandong Junfu Nonwoven Fabric Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Shandong Junfu) located in Dongying City, Shandong Province, the reporter saw a busy scene. It is reported that they have been working overtime since receiving the notice from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on January 27, and all 10 production lines are producing at full capacity 24 hours a day. The daily output of meltblown cloth produced by Shandong Junfu is about 13 tons, accounting for 1/10 of the whole country. According to the scheduling of the state and relevant departments, it is mainly supplied to downstream enterprises in Hubei and Shandong.

　　There are not many large-scale manufacturers that can produce meltblown fabrics in China. The industry has been lacking attention for a long time, showing a tepid situation, and the industry as a whole has shown a small and scattered situation. At present, the domestic meltblown cloth production capacity is mainly distributed in a few provinces and cities such as Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

　　At the supply end of meltblown cloth, the price increase of large cloth factories is not large under the control of the government, but some small factories sit on the ground and start at the price.

　　"The usual price of meltblown cloth is about 20,000 yuan/ton, and now our price is 100,000 yuan/ton. Because of our price reduction, local small cloth factories dare not raise prices, but in some provinces and regions lacking leading enterprises, small cloth factories raise prices for each other, and the prices are all above 200,000 yuan/ton. Many small mask factories want to use our materials and ask the local government to coordinate. I receive two or three hundred calls a day. " Huang Wensheng, general manager of Shandong Junfu, said.

　　A person in charge of a mask factory in Xiantao, Hubei Province said that at present, the local price of meltblown cloth in Xiantao is about 200,000 yuan/ton, while the price before the epidemic was about 22,000 yuan/ton; According to the manufacturer of meltblown cloth in Nantong, Jiangsu, in order to make the mask production line run normally, some mask factories offered high prices to buy meltblown cloth.

　　Many small cloth factories that are not included in the supply list of mask raw materials have raised prices seriously. Lin Youqiang, the person in charge of a mask manufacturer in Shandong, said that meltblown cloth enterprises with stable customers at ordinary times should not raise prices arbitrarily to maintain customer relations; A group of enterprises with no stable partners and poor management in the past maliciously raised their prices, hoping to make a quick sum of money.

　　According to industry insiders, some meltblown cloth suppliers are quite "strong" in the market, not only issuing less or no invoices for delivery, but also requiring downstream factories to use "hard currency" masks to offset the payment at a discount, and to add cash.

　　At the circulation end of meltblown cloth, there are middlemen who take the opportunity to earn the difference.

　　A small and medium-sized enterprise owner who switched to production of masks told reporters that in some WeChat groups where mask raw material resources are connected, middlemen arbitrarily charge high prices. "They opened their mouths and offered a high price of 300,000 to 300,000 yuan per ton, taking advantage of our lack of goods to rush production, and often said ‘ If necessary, transfer the money quickly. You don’t want people to get the goods ’ , create ‘ Seconds rise and kill ’ The tension. "

　　The relevant person in charge of the Industrial and Information Bureau of a city in Shandong Province said that many people hoard goods and sell them upside down, and the price is greatly increased. Many meltblown fabrics stay in the warehouse and circulation, waiting for the price increase, and supply and demand cannot match well.

　　A handsome profit

　　The reporter learned that the amazing profit of masks is an important reason why mask factories are willing to buy meltblown fabrics at high prices.

　　An insider calculated a cost account for the reporter: 1 ton of meltblown cloth can make 1 million medical surgical masks. If the meltblown fabric sells for 200,000/ton, the fabric price only accounts for 0.2 yuan in the cost of a mask. At present, the price of masks allocated by the government from Shandong is about 1.5 yuan each, and 0.2 yuan is subsidized; Each of Beijing is about 4 yuan, and each of Shanghai and Hubei is about 3 yuan. Although the cost of logistics, labor and melt-blown polypropylene has doubled recently, it also accounts for a small proportion in the price of masks.

　　On the other hand, the demand for masks has increased greatly, and some enterprises anxious to return to work do not care about the price of raw materials, which has pushed up the price of masks. "Recently, there has been a wave of enterprises returning to work all over the country. The state requires enterprises to distribute protective equipment such as masks for their employees. If each employee of each enterprise uses a mask a day, this is an astronomical figure." Lin Youqiang said.

　　According to the data of the fourth national economic census, the total employment population of domestic legal entities and self-employed households is as high as 533 million, and at least 533 million masks are needed every day based on one mask per person per day. Compared with the current daily production capacity, the mask gap is huge, and the profit margin can be imagined.

　　Awkward "thin waist"

　　The production capacity of enterprises related to the mask industry chain is "gourd-shaped", which is one of the root causes of the shortage of meltblown cloth.

　　Yu Xiaoning, chairman of Shandong Daoen Group, said that the downstream mask factory is growing rapidly at present, and the national production capacity has increased by about 2 times in the last month, which is the "bottom of the gourd"; The production capacity of meltblown fabrics in the middle reaches grows slowly, and the number of manufacturers is small due to the small structural influence of the previous market, which is "the waist of gourd"; The leading enterprises producing melt-blown polypropylene in the upstream have expanded their production rapidly, which can basically meet the downstream demand for melt-blown materials. This is the "upper end of the gourd". Take Dawn Group as an example, the company has received orders for the next two months, and the daily production capacity of melt-blown materials has expanded from about 85 tons to about 200 tons now.

　　This embarrassing "thin waist" has become a "bottleneck" that restricts downstream production expansion.

　　The reporter’s investigation found that behind the bottleneck of melt-blown cloth production capacity is the difficulty and long time of production line expansion.

　　Yu Xiaoning and other people in the industry said that compared with the mask production line, the investment is small, the technical content is not high, the reproduction is fast, and the operation is easy. The production technology of meltblown cloth is high, and the quality of meltblown cloth directly determines the quality of masks. The production line investment of the cloth factory is tens of millions of yuan, and the equipment manufacturing and installation are much more complicated than the mask production device, and the requirements for the factory building are higher, and special training is needed for the staff.

　　At present, there are not many domestic manufacturers providing complete sets of production equipment and key components of meltblown fabrics, and the production of core components such as spinneret and spinneret die is still far from foreign manufacturers, and the delivery cycle and assembly time of imported equipment are relatively long. "The import delivery cycle of dies and spinnerets takes four to six months. Domestic molds can be delivered in two months, but this kind of mold with short delivery time can’t make high-end medical products. " Huang Wensheng said.

　　The procurement cycle of parts for several months limits the delivery capacity of meltblown fabric equipment, making it difficult to put it on the market overnight like a mask machine. It is understood that some enterprises that sell complete sets of melt-blown cloth production equipment are using inventory to quickly assemble new production lines. But the design, processing and debugging of a complete production line will take about two or three months.

　　A supplier of meltblown cloth production equipment in Zhejiang said that the production line of meltblown cloth was really introduced, and perhaps the peak demand brought by the epidemic had already passed. This kind of worry has prevented many investors from entering this field. The market scale of meltblown cloth is not large. Once the epidemic situation is over, the competitive pressure of meltblown cloth manufacturers will be very great.

　　Capacity to be tapped

　　Insiders pointed out that it is urgent to strengthen the overall planning of industrial chain, tap the potential of related enterprises and leading enterprises, and maximize the production capacity of meltblown fabrics.

　　Experts believe that in order to solve the problem that the supply of raw materials such as meltblown cloth in the mask industry chain is in short supply, the following measures can be taken to ensure the supply and price stability:

　　First, promote similar technology enterprises to switch production and supply mask materials.

　　According to the statistics of China Industrial Textile Industry Association, the production technology of China nonwovens industry is mainly spunbonded. In 2018, the output of spunbonded nonwovens was 2,971,200 tons, accounting for 50% of the total nonwoven production, which was mainly used in sanitary materials and other fields; However, the proportion of meltblown process is only 0.9%, and the output of meltblown nonwovens is 53,500 tons/year. These meltblown fabrics are not only used for masks, but also for environmental protection materials, clothing materials, battery diaphragm materials, wiping materials and so on.

　　Huang Wensheng said that enterprises that produce automotive sound insulation cotton, meltblown thermal insulation cotton, meltblown oil-absorbing cotton and other materials can switch to special filter materials for mask protection, and the annual production capacity of these enterprises is about 150,000 tons. It is understood that BYD, Changan Automobile, BAIC, SAIC and other automobile manufacturers have been taking advantage of the industrial chain to mobilize the supporting manufacturers of sound-absorbing cotton to transform the original production line of meltblown cloth and transform the production of special filter materials for masks.

　　Second, take the central enterprises as the leader and speed up the production line related to meltblown cloth.

　　The relevant person in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission said that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission attaches great importance to the changes in the supply chain and industrial chain of domestic epidemic prevention materials and guides central enterprises to take the initiative to make up for shortcomings.

　　Because polypropylene, the raw material of melt-blown cloth, is taken from petroleum, petrochemical enterprises have advantages in producing melt-blown cloth. China Petrochemical Company has invested about 200 million yuan to build 10 melt-blown cloth production lines in Yanshan Petrochemical Company in Beijing and Yizheng Chemical Fiber Company in Jiangsu Province. After all the production, the daily output can reach 12 tons of N95 mask melt-blown cloth or 18 tons of medical flat mask melt-blown cloth, which can be processed into 18 million medical flat masks.

　　Third, strengthen government regulation and control to ensure the balance of upstream and downstream supply.

　　Lei Limin, vice president of China Textile Business Association, said that at present, the production situation of mask industry chain enterprises is complicated and information communication is not smooth, so it is difficult to know the real-time situation of the return to work rate and the newly put into production line. The industry believes that the mask industry chain is characterized by "marketization of upstream raw materials and administration of downstream masks", and the contradiction between market mechanism and plan management is constantly emerging. It is recommended to take administrative measures to properly intervene and straighten out the connection.

　　Yu Xiaoning said that in the face of the epidemic, the overall decision-making from the central government to the local government has solved many problems for the development of the industry. The next step is to strengthen the overall planning of the industrial chain, form an organic combination of government, industry associations and enterprises, and use big data to make comprehensive statistics on the number, distribution, production capacity and production capacity under construction of mask factories, cloth factories and raw material factories. In the extraordinary period, entrepreneurs should organize all kinds of production work well, at the same time, they should improve their consciousness from the overall height and cooperate with the government’s dispatch, which not only completes the epidemic prevention task, but also makes the market develop more orderly.

　　Among the 18 million new cancer cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths worldwide, China has 3.804 million new cases and 2.296 million deaths. This means that China accounts for 21 of every 100 new cancer patients in the world; China accounts for 23 out of every 100 cancer deaths in the world.

　　In the face of cancer, doctors are the hope of patients, and drugs are the weapons of doctors.

　　Recently, the first bevacizumab bio-similar drug in China was approved for marketing, which will improve the accessibility of this kind of drug and provide a new choice for the treatment of domestic patients. Some people call 2019 the outbreak year of biologically similar drugs. In November this year, the first adalimumab bio-similar drug in China was approved for listing; In February this year, the first domestic biological similar drug Rituximab was approved for listing & HELIP; … So, what kind of anticancer drugs do monoclonal antibodies belong to, and what are biologically similar drugs? Today, Xiaobian will take you to know.

　　Q: What are the common anticancer drugs?

　　A: Clinically, it is customary to divide anticancer drugs into cytotoxic anticancer drugs and non-cytotoxic anticancer drugs.

　　1. Cytotoxic anticancer drugs

　　Cytotoxic anticancer drugs are chemotherapy drugs that we often say, and their main functions are to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and induce their apoptosis, thus eliminating cancer cells.

　　2. Non-cytotoxic anticancer drugs

　　Common non-cytotoxic anticancer drugs include hormone drugs, targeted drugs and immunotherapy drugs. In recent years, there has been a great breakthrough in the development of this kind of drugs. Next, we will focus on the common non-cytotoxic anticancer drugs.

　　Hormone drugs

　　Some hormone-dependent cancers, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, cervical cancer, etc., are related to hormone imbalance. Therefore, the application of certain hormones or their antagonists can change the hormone balance, thus inhibiting the growth of dependent cancer cells, such as tamoxifen and exemestane, which are clinically used in breast cancer.

　　Targeted drugs

　　Targeted drugs can act on the unique signal pathway of cancer cells, killing cancer cells, but little or no damage to normal cells.

　　In the treatment of cancer, it should be said that targeted drug therapy is a precise treatment based on accurate diagnosis. By accurately finding the target of disease treatment and accurately monitoring the disease state and treatment process, we can finally achieve precise treatment for different patients and diseases in different States, and achieve the purpose of improving the treatment effect of diseases. Bevacizumab mentioned at the beginning is one of the targeted drugs.

　　Immunotherapy drugs

　　Immune cell therapy technology is to achieve therapeutic effect by regulating the precise immune response of human immune T cells to cancer cells. For example, the monoclonal antibody drug PD-1/PD-L1, an immune detection point, can specifically bind to PD-L1 on cancer cells to inhibit its expression, so that the inhibited T cells can recover their recognition function to cancer cells and achieve the anti-cancer effect.

　　In addition, some traditional Chinese medicines can also directly or indirectly damage cancer cells by regulating the immune function of the body, so as to prolong the survival time of patients and improve the quality of life.

　　Q: What are biologically similar drugs?

　　A: Biomimetic drugs refer to therapeutic biological products that are similar to the original drug (reference drug) that has been approved for registration in terms of quality, safety and effectiveness.

　　Q: What’s the difference between similar drugs and generic drugs?

　　A: Biomimetic drugs, also known as biosimilars, are biological drugs (including vaccines, blood and blood components, somatic cells, gene therapy, tissues, recombinant therapeutic proteins, etc.) similar to the approved original drugs. In principle, the amino acid sequence of candidate drugs for biological analogues should be the same as that of the original drug (reference drug).

　　Q: How to use anticancer drugs rationally?

　　A: Pay attention to the following three points when using anticancer drugs well:

　　1. Diagnose before taking medicine.

　　All clinical patients who use anticancer drugs must be confirmed by histopathology before using them. If targeted drugs are used for treatment, genetic testing must be carried out in advance.

　　2. Use drugs under the guidance of professional doctors and pharmacists.

　　For cancer patients with definite diagnosis, if it is standardized treatment, doctors and pharmacists need to choose appropriate drugs, definite usage and reasonable period for treatment according to the recommendations of the guidelines; If it is experimental treatment, doctors and pharmacists need to follow the relevant provisions of medical ethics, formulate a perfect clinical research plan for patients, and choose the corresponding drugs for treatment.

　　3. Pay attention to drug-related adverse reactionsshould do

　　During the use of anticancer drugs, patients should closely monitor their physical condition and report adverse reactions to doctors and doctors in time, which is very important for completing the treatment course and improving the quality of life.

　　Q: What do you think about the side effects of taking anticancer drugs?

　　A: In recent years, anticancer drugs have emerged in an endless stream, and their curative effects have been greatly improved. However, the selectivity of many anticancer drugs is still not high. While killing cancer cells, it will inevitably cause damage to normal cells, which is also the main reason that hinders their efficacy.

　　The most common side effects of anticancer drugs include: myelosuppression such as neutropenia, anemia and bleeding; Nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea and other digestive system toxic manifestations; Hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity occurred.

　　Q: What should we think about the side effects of taking anticancer drugs?

　　A: If there are no suitable targeted drugs for some cancer cells, or because of certain conditions, patients must choose chemotherapy schemes with greater toxic and side effects. Under the above circumstances, doctors need to predict the side effects of anticancer drugs as soon as possible and deal with them effectively, so as to choose the best treatment scheme for patients.

　　Compared with traditional chemotherapy schemes, targeted therapy and immunotherapy have fewer toxic and side effects, and are new choices for patients.

　　With the development of precision medicine, we have reason to believe that the side effects of anticancer drugs will become smaller and smaller, and the effective rate of disease treatment and the survival time of patients will be greatly prolonged.

　　Cctv news(News Network): In January this year, the new version of the national medical insurance drug list was implemented, and the national negotiated drugs have been equipped in more than 150,000 designated medical institutions across the country.

　　Mr. Xie, a citizen of Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, bought a national medical insurance negotiation drug in a retail pharmacy, which is a targeted drug for the treatment of malignant tumors.

　　On January 1st this year, the new national medical insurance catalogue was implemented, and 67 kinds of drugs were added through negotiation, with an average price reduction of 62%, covering the demand for drugs such as tumors, chronic diseases and rare diseases. To reduce the drug burden of the masses, it is not only that drugs can be "reimbursed" in medical insurance, but also that people can use drugs conveniently and quickly, so as to improve the accessibility of negotiated drugs. In order to solve the problem of negotiating drugs landing, in May last year, the National Medical Insurance Bureau put forward a "dual-channel" management mechanism for negotiating drugs, determined that designated retail pharmacies should be included in the supply guarantee scope of medical insurance drugs, and implemented a unified payment policy with medical institutions. By the end of February 2022, the negotiated drugs in the new national medical insurance drug list during the agreement period were equipped in 154,700 designated medical institutions nationwide, of which 42,100 were designated medical institutions and 112,600 were designated retail pharmacies.

　　According to the National Medical Insurance Bureau, in January this year alone, during the agreement period, 17.7387 million people were reimbursed for drugs negotiated, and the medical insurance fund spent 5.197 billion yuan, with an average actual reimbursement rate of 69.12%.

　　Since 2018, a total of six batches of drugs have been purchased by the state, and a total of 234 drugs have been purchased, involving 30% of the total annual procurement of chemicals in public medical institutions. According to the purchase amount before centralized procurement, the accumulated cost savings are more than 260 billion yuan.

　　The "Notice on Further Optimizing the Implementation of COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control Measures" previously issued by the the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism mentioned that Covid-19 vaccination for the elderly should be accelerated, with a focus on improving 60-mdash; The vaccination rate of 79-year-old people, accelerate the vaccination rate of people aged 80 and over, and make special arrangements.

　　The Paper noted that many places have set goals around Covid-19 vaccination for the elderly: by the end of this year or January next year, the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine for people over 80 years old will reach 90%; The full-course vaccination rate and enhanced immunization rate of eligible target population aged 60-79 reached 95%.

　　Among them, the Office of Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters in Yexian County, Henan Province issued the "Notice on Further Accelerating the Vaccination Work for the Elderly in Covid-19" on December 9, saying that all units should make full use of big data means and combine the "knocking on the door" to conduct door-to-door verification, accurately find out the base of the target population over 60 years old, establish the target population ledger, mobilize one by one, and cancel the number one by one.

　　According to the circular, by the end of January 2023, the coverage rate of the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine for people over 80 years old will reach 90%, and the coverage rate of the whole process and the enhanced immunization coverage rate of eligible target population will reach 90%. The full-course vaccination rate and enhanced immunization rate of eligible target population aged 60-79 reached 95%.

　　The epidemic prevention and control headquarters of Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, said that before January 20, 2023, the first dose vaccination rate of Covid-19 vaccine for people over 80 years old in the city will reach 90%; The whole vaccination rate and enhanced immunization rate of eligible target population reached 90%; The full-course vaccination rate and enhanced immunization rate of eligible target population aged 60-79 reached 95%.

　　On December 8, Yushu Prefecture, Qinghai Province held a video dispatching meeting on the preparation of medical resources for epidemic prevention and control in the whole state. The meeting called for continuous optimization of various service measures, maximum convenience and security for the elderly, and full promotion of COVID-19 vaccination for the elderly. Strive to reach 90% in the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine for people aged 80 and above before December 28th, and 90% in the whole process and enhanced immunization for eligible target population; The full vaccination rate and enhanced immunization rate of eligible target population aged 60-79 reached 95%.

　　Emergency headquarters, an epidemic in Xuanhan County, Sichuan Province, mobilized on December 12, saying that COVID-19 vaccination is the best protection for the elderly. Please check the vaccination records of the elderly at home and take their elders to get vaccinated. According to its introduction, before the end of January 2023, the first dose vaccination rate of Covid-19 vaccine for people over 80 years old reached over 90%; The full-course vaccination rate and enhanced immunization rate of eligible target population aged 60-79 have reached more than 95%.

　　In addition, the leading group for epidemic prevention and control in Wenshui County, Shanxi Province informed that all towns and villages insisted on taking all the connections and doing a good job of mapping and inoculation according to the permanent population. Accelerate the increase in the vaccination rate of people over 80 years old and continue to increase the vaccination rate of people aged 60-79. By the end of January, 2023, the full vaccination rate and enhanced immunization rate of eligible target population aged 60-79 reached 95%. The first dose vaccination rate of people over 80 years old reached 90%, and the whole vaccination rate and enhanced immunization rate of eligible target population reached 90%.

　　Compared with other age groups, the basic immunization and enhanced vaccination rates of the elderly in China are low. According to the data from the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, as of November 28, the number of people over 60 years old who were fully vaccinated accounted for 86.42% of the elderly population, while the number of people over 80 years old was only 65.8% of the population over 80 years old.

The the State Council executive meeting held recently pointed out that the import tariffs on daily consumer goods should be lowered on a large scale to better meet the diversified consumption needs of the masses. At the routine briefing on the State Council policy held by the State Council Information Office on June 1st, Vice Minister of Finance Zhu Guangyao introduced the relevant situation.

On May 31st, the State Council Customs Tariff Commission issued an announcement to reduce the import tariffs on consumer goods, which will take effect on July 1st this year.

Why should the import tariffs on consumer goods be lowered on a large scale this time? In this regard, Zhu Guangyao introduced that consumer goods for daily use are closely related to people’s needs for a better life. At present, the average MFN import tariff rate of consumer goods in China is 14.5%, which is 9.8% higher than the general tariff level in China. In 2017, China’s general trade import of consumer goods was US$ 65.7 billion. Since 2015, with the approval of the State Council, China has reduced the import tariffs on daily consumer goods for four times in order to attract overseas consumption back and meet the needs of residents’ consumption upgrading, mainly considering the high-quality products that are concentrated in consumption abroad and cannot be supplied at home for a while, including woolen clothes, some shoes and boots, sunglasses, thermos cups, diapers, some special foods and health care products.

It is understood that this tax reduction, in addition to appropriately reducing some products that have been significantly reduced in the previous period, plans to greatly expand the scope and intensity of tax reduction for other consumer goods, including products that are relatively few in consumption abroad but have distinctive advantages abroad, and products with relatively high import tax rates, involving 1,449 tax items, which is seven times the total of the previous four tax reductions. The average tax rate decreased from 15.7% to 6.9%, with an average decrease of 55.9%.

"Reducing import tariffs on consumer goods is conducive to expanding the import of products with distinctive advantages, meeting the needs of people’s better life, and better embodying the people-centered development concept; It is conducive to creating a fair competitive market environment and deepening the structural reform of the supply side of consumer goods; It is conducive to further opening up and is a major measure and practical action for us to actively open up the market. " Zhu Guangyao said.

Regarding the reduction of import tariffs this time, everyone is very concerned about whether the prices of consumer goods with concentrated demand from the people can continue to decline. In this regard, Zhu Guangyao explained that lowering tariffs did reduce the import cost to a certain extent, which generally helped to lower the price in the domestic market.

"At the same time, we should also look at it objectively. Tariffs are levied according to the import price of goods rather than the domestic market price. Reducing taxes on mass consumer goods priced on the basis of cost can promote market price reduction. However, for high-end consumer goods, the market sales price is usually several times the import price. " Zhu Guangyao said.

"After reducing tariffs, whether the price of consumer goods is reduced and how much it is reduced does have market behavior. We hope to enrich domestic consumption choices by reducing import tariffs and expanding imports of consumer goods. We hope that tax reduction can promote the decline of consumer goods prices, so that policy dividends can be truly transmitted to consumers and our consumers can get more benefits. " Zhu Guangyao said. (Reporter Yang Liang)

　　In the Internet age, young people spend more and more time online and are often accused of "doing nothing". According to statistics, among the digital users in China in 2019, users aged 35 and below accounted for 68.15%. What are they busy with online? Some people became online doctors and food bloggers and moved their offices online. Some people use their spare time to develop sideline businesses such as design and writing, so as to cultivate interest and increase income. Some people work as cyber security volunteers and public review staff in their spare time, doing public welfare online and promoting positive energy … … They are all doing business online.

　　This edition will launch "Big Data Observation Network Gathering Youth Power" from now on, focusing on the vigorous vitality and surging kinetic energy released by contemporary young people on the Internet.

　　— — Editor

　　"Goodbye, alma mater, and go home to work." After graduation, Yu Pei’s employment choices are slightly different from those of his classmates. After graduating from a 211 college, she joined a self-media company, responsible for writing manuscripts and planning content.

　　In recent years, the digital economy has flourished, giving birth to many online jobs. More flexible working hours and fresh and interesting work content have attracted more and more young people to online jobs, and new flexible employment has developed rapidly. According to the White Paper on the Development and Employment of Digital Economy in China in 2019, there were 191 million jobs in China’s digital economy in 2018, accounting for 24.6% of the total employment in that year.

　　Food blogger and network marketing specialist … … Digitalization of the tertiary industry has spawned a large number of online jobs.

　　"I am an online fitness instructor." After bidding farewell to the gym where he took office, Li Wencan moved his work online. Li Wencan recorded fitness teaching videos for various online platforms, wrote fitness popular science articles for knowledge sharing websites, and served as a class teacher on fitness APP to answer fitness questions for students.

　　"I still take orders on the APP and provide on-site fitness guidance services for two or three hours a week." Li Wencan is still satisfied with the current income situation. "The monthly income is about 15,000 yuan, which is only a lot more than the previous income in the gym, but there is much more freedom and no pressure on course sales."

　　"I am an online pediatrician." From 8: 00 am to 11: 00 pm, Guo Qing is responsible for the WeChat group, and the notifications are one after another. In the eyes of many novice parents, the baby can’t eat well, sleep well and have a fever. It’s right to find Guo Qingzhun.

　　"Bao Baba Bao Ma will send me the baby’s symptoms and photos, and I will make a preliminary diagnosis accordingly, telling parents whether to continue observation or go to the hospital for further examination." Guo Qingxiao said that he is a family doctor in more than 300 families and has contributed a little to alleviating the difficulty of pediatric registration. "In fact, babies are sick, and many situations are minor problems. They can recover after a few days’ rest." Guo Qing said.

　　"I am a food blogger." After accumulating a certain popularity on a food platform, Vince resigned from his original job and became a full-time food blogger. "My daily job is to record pastry making videos and write cooking strategies." Wensisi’s food blogger is very popular. Not long ago, he just sold his own baking tutorial on a platform.

　　Private travel itinerary customizer, online media writer and online marketing specialist & HELIP; … Exploring these online jobs in detail almost all stems from the transformation of digital service industry. "Because the tertiary industry has the characteristics of high transaction costs, low proportion of fixed assets and low technology intensity, it is easier to carry out digital transformation, thus creating a large number of online jobs." Yu Xiaohui, vice president of China Institute of Information and Communication, said that the digital economy’s ability to absorb employment is mainly reflected in the tertiary industry. In 2018, there were about 134.26 million digital transformation jobs in the tertiary industry, accounting for 37.2% of the total employment in the tertiary industry. The proportion increased by about 4 percentage points.

　　Zhou Guangsu, an associate professor at the School of Labor and Personnel of Renmin University of China, said that the digital transformation of the tertiary industry has spawned new models such as platform economy and sharing economy, among which the platform economy is the most eye-catching and has become a new engine to promote entrepreneurship and employment in recent years.

　　Platform self-employment and online part-time employment … … The digital economy is reconstructing the employment model.

　　In addition to actively participating in online jobs, many young people choose to work part-time online to earn pocket money. According to Zhaopin’s recruitment survey data, in the first half of 2019, 8.2% of professionals had part-time income.

　　The research report shows that with the development of the platform economy, work is becoming more and more unrestricted by space and time. Having a main business to make a living and taking into account an interest, the main and sideline business at the same time has become a way that many young people yearn for.

　　"We found in the survey that through the Internet, whether it is programming, planning, agency operation, makeup, etc., as long as you have expertise in technology and talent, you can develop into a second career." The person in charge of a recruitment website said.

　　"The digital economy is reconstructing our employment model." Yu Xiaohui said that network information technology and internet platforms provide individuals with resources such as market, R&D and production, and individuals can engage in economic activities without entering traditional enterprises. Accordingly, employment forms have become flexible and diverse, and new flexible employment modes such as self-employment, freelance employment and part-time employment have sprung up rapidly.

　　Yu Xiaohui said that the digital economy has promoted four major changes in China’s flexible employment: First, the scale has exploded and the transition from marginal supplement to important composition has been realized. "Nowadays, with the development of new modes and formats such as online shopping and sharing economy, the number of flexible employees has increased rapidly and has gradually become an important employment force." Second, the scope has expanded rapidly to realize the transformation from a few fields to diversified fields of employment. Flexible employment is not only distributed in the field of business circulation, but also widely distributed in diversified fields such as logistics and live broadcast. Third, the quality has been continuously improved, and the transformation from low-level employment to high-level employment has been realized. More people with high academic qualifications and high human capital participate in flexible employment, especially in the fields of knowledge sharing, and the education level of flexible employees has been greatly improved. Fourth, the competitiveness has greatly jumped, and the transformation from passive choice to active participation has been realized. Nowadays, relying on the empowerment of technology and platform, flexible employees can compete in more fields, and can better meet the increasingly personalized needs in specialized fields. Flexible employment has become the active choice of employees.

　　Identification of labor relations and reasonable working hours … … Protection of labor rights and interests has become a new topic.

　　Looking ahead, Zhou Guangsu said that with the acceleration of the digitalization of the secondary industry, the number of online jobs in the secondary industry will increase greatly in the future, such as remote maintenance of equipment and online drawing. With the increasing number of online jobs and the rapid growth of flexible employment groups, Yang Weiguo, dean of the School of Labor and Human Resources of China Renmin University, pointed out that how to protect the legitimate rights and interests of these workers, including reasonable wages and working hours, is becoming a new topic.

　　"The new flexible employment model covers ‘ Manual field economy in the digital age ’ That is, it has returned to the state of individual production, family production and local production. " Yang Weiguo said that many factors such as market environment, personal choice and technological convenience may continue to push this trend forward, so we need to study how to protect the legitimate rights and interests of these workers.

　　Li Wencan is full of confusion about his relationship with the platform. "What we signed with the platform company is not a labor contract, but a cooperation agreement. The platform company is not responsible for my five insurances and one gold."

　　At present, the most controversial issue about online flexible employment is the identification of labor relations. Internet platform enterprises and labor service providers have both signed labor relations and formed non-standard labor relations through outsourcing and labor dispatch, but most of them have signed cooperation and contracting agreements to establish civil cooperation relations. "This makes it difficult for the judiciary to judge and identify. In the event of an accident, it is difficult to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers." Yang Weiguo said.

　　Experts suggest that in the face of increasingly complex and changeable employment patterns and ways, it is necessary to introduce new laws and regulations to make a clearer definition of new labor relations. "Only in this way can we better protect the rights and interests of workers and let social security play a better role." Zhou Guangsu said.

Open column language

In April, 1994, China fully accessed the Internet and became the 77th member of the international Internet family. This year is the 30th year of China’s full-featured access to the Internet, and it is also an important node of "half a child".

In just 30 years of development, there are many "things" worth remembering. In the past 30 years, the Internet in China has grown from scratch, from small to large, from large to strong, and many objects, applications or platforms have been born. The value of the above objects or applications is not only in business, but also a kind of feeling, which embodies people’s long-term memory of life and emotion.

To this end, Beijing News Shell Finance and China Internet Development Foundation China Positive Energy Network Communication Special Fund launched the topic "Internet 30 Years and 30 Things". I hope that by telling the story of the landmark objects, applications or platforms in the history of Internet development in China, I can outline the evolution of Internet in China in the past 30 years and see where it will go in the future.

A network cable 30 years ago connected China to the world. Nowadays, the Internet is half-baked and China is in the ascendant after the "Internet".

Art leader andy warhol said, "Everyone can be famous in 15 minutes" and "Everyone can be famous for 15 minutes". However, in the era of short video, it takes only 15 seconds for a person to become famous.

After nearly 20 years of development, the short video industry has experienced the evolution from the micro-film era to the mobile era, and then to the national era. It is generally judged in the industry that more and more short video platforms will begin to diversify, taking into account a variety of content and forms of expression; Industry players tend to be more concentrated, relying on the support of giants, and realizing the integration of Lian Heng through capital and resources. As a form of content expression and distribution, short video will be more and more integrated into various super applications. At the same time, with the strengthening of supervision and technological progress, the short video industry will also usher in a more compliant and broad development.

microfilm

In 2005, with the improvement of network speed and bandwidth, as well as the popularity of personal computers (PCs) and video recorders, the Internet began to enter the video era from the graphic era. Tudou, Thunder, VeryCD (electric donkey download) and other companies have been established.

It was also at the end of this year that an animator named Hu Ge edited the film "The Promise" into a short film "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bread" and detonated the network. The download volume even beat the original film "The Promise", which was considered as the embryonic form of a micro-movie. Micro-movies promote the grassroots of short videos, and inadvertently cultivate the awareness of netizens using fragmented time to shoot, make, upload and watch.

Established in 2006, Six Rooms introduced Hugo and launched his follow-up works, which brought huge traffic. With the gradual formation of video sharing atmosphere, Six Rooms, Tudou, Youku, Kuliuwang, etc. have stood in the ranks of domestic first-line video sharing websites.

Initially, these video websites were positioned as platforms for uploading and publishing original videos, which is quite similar to the concept of short video platforms today. However, at that time, user habits were still in the cultivation period, and shooting equipment and uploading costs were expensive. In 2010, Iqiyi, Youku and other players brought copyrighted content and capital into the market, and the wave of mobile Internet hit. At that time, the PC-side video sharing website was closed down or changed hands, and the six rooms gradually turned to the direction of performing arts live broadcast.

watershed

2016 can be said to be a "watershed" in the short video industry, and ByteDance’s entry is a landmark event. Before ByteDance announced "All-in Short Video", the number of short video platforms was close to 400, and Aauto Quicker, Second Shot, Watermelon Video, American Shot, Volcano Video, Tudou and other platforms quickly emerged and rushed into the first camp. They either seize the first-Mover advantage of segmentation and quickly accumulate a huge user base, or rely on Internet traffic giants.

Han Kun, one of the founders of Kuliu.com, and Zhang Hongyu, one of the founders of PPS, have been working hard in the field of short video for a long time. After Kuliu.com was acquired by Shanda.com, Han Kun founded a technology company in 2012, which is the parent company of Second Shot, xiaokaxiu and Live Broadcast, and entered the mobile video sharing. Zhang Hongyu joined Aiqiyi as PPS was acquired by Aiqiyi, and became an early investor of Second Shot. Secondhand relies on the strategic cooperation and investment relationship with Weibo, and has many stars and opinion leaders under Weibo’s banner. Most of the broadcast traffic is realized in Weibo.

Aauto Quicker was born in 2011. It was originally a tool for making moving pictures. In 2012, it transformed into a short video community and quickly accumulated influence among residents in third-and fourth-tier cities. However, Aauto Quicker said: "Aauto Quicker is not doing short videos or live broadcasts, but just wants to bring the ability of recording and sharing to everyone with technology. This technology can also be in other forms in the future. We hope that everyone can have equal opportunities for communication. "

The beauty shoot emphasizes the beauty function, the positioning is feminine and vertical, and the users are mostly women.

During the Spring Festival of 2014, hundreds of stars, including Lee MinHo, Fan Bingbing and He Jiong, gathered in Microvision to pay New Year’s greetings and broadcast them on TV in turn, which brought a small climax to Microvision: this application, which was launched in 2013, remained in the top five in the App Store for several days, with 45 million daily active users. From New Year’s Eve to the first day of the first year, millions of people released and watched short videos of New Year’s greetings through Microvision, with a total broadcast volume of hundreds of millions of times. Ten months after its launch, Microvision was established as an independent department.

ByteDance’s entry in the second half of 2016 became a watershed in the short video industry. In September 2016, ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming announced "All-in Short Video", and successively launched three short video products, namely watermelon video, volcano video and Tik Tok. According to reports, the three products have different positioning. Tik Tok is mainly a short music video for young people, volcano video is a daily life sharing platform, and watermelon is a mobile short video platform, which uses AI algorithm to push content to users.

With the strong entry of ByteDance, the short video industry has entered a new competitive pattern, and mainstream Internet companies have focused their attention on the short video field, unwilling to miss the new outlet.

The battle of giants

The "war" was first burned on the subsidy. In September 2016, Tencent and ByteDance almost simultaneously proposed their own short video subsidy plans of 1 billion yuan; In the first half of 2017, Baidu and Ali followed up. Baidu announced that it would divide the accumulated content producers into 10 billion yuan, while Ali proposed to support content creation with 2 billion yuan subsidies; In November 2017, Tencent opened its platform with 10 billion yuan of subsidies and resources at its partner conference, focusing on supporting short video entrepreneurship and even opening its own copyrighted content for producers to use; ByteDance’s watermelon video immediately announced that it would pay 2 billion yuan as the creator’s advance production fee.

At the same time as the subsidy, the platform is built. At first, BAT (Baidu, Ali, Tencent) did not set up a separate short video aggregation platform, but chose to add short video functions to their original super applications, and encouraged content providers to settle in various "accounts" to realize "one account settled in" and multi-platform distribution. Tencent’s Penguin is responsible for such functions, and Ali’s Big Fish is responsible for such functions. Baidu, Netease and Sohu have also followed suit to open various distribution accounts.

In the second half of 2017, under the temptation of the powerful broadcast volume and duration of short videos, major Internet companies also launched their own single short video platforms. In November 2017 alone, the short video industry ushered in four new products directly hatched by Internet companies, namely 360′ s "Fast Video", Baidu’s "Good Video", Tencent’s "Microvision" and Weibo’s "Cool Burning". In the first half of 2017, Ali upgraded the acquired Tudou to a short video platform. Tencent emphasizes social relations, Ali focuses on e-commerce, ByteDance plots information distribution, and Internet giants make short videos in their own good directions.

In the field of short video, capital layout has already begun. The second shot was first incorporated by the giants. In July 2013, September 2014, November 2015 and November 2016, Sina Weibo Fund invested in the parent company’s technology for four consecutive rounds, and was the lead investor in at least two rounds. At the critical moment, Weibo took Secondshot as its exclusive short video platform, helping Secondshot win the tough battle with platforms such as Meipai and Xiaoying.

Followed by Aauto Quicker, in March 2017, Aauto Quicker received $350 million in financing, and Tencent led the investment; In its tens of millions of dollars in financing in March 2016, Baidu Investment Department appeared. The veteran player "Mei Pai" belongs to Meitu, a Hong Kong-listed company. Watermelon video, volcano video and Tik Tok are big trees backed by ByteDance.

China’s Internet giants completed the power assembly of the short video sector in early 2018. From the perspective of capital, various short video platforms have embraced the giant’s thighs and "achieved each other" with resources and capital. From the perspective of application attributes, there may be few independent short video platforms in the future, and most of them are integrated into super applications as tools to attract traffic and distribute content.

Move forward in adjustment

By the end of 2019, short video traffic has basically been divided. QuestMobile data shows that as of June 2019, the number of newly installed users in the short video industry was close to 100 million, and the total monthly active users were close to 821 million, basically covering all netizens in China at that time. Among them, ByteDance (Tik Tok, Watermelon and Volcano) ranks first with nearly 600 million monthly activities after weight reduction, while Aauto Quicker ranks second with nearly 350 million monthly activities, followed by Tencent (micro-vision, hot pot) and Baidu (good-looking, all-people) with huge traffic portals.

Many commercial actions have been carried out almost simultaneously, and almost all the means of realizing advertisements, e-commerce, live broadcasts, enterprise numbers and short videos have been opened to content producers this year. Many content entrepreneurs bluntly say that it is precisely because of the "attack" of Tencent Microvision and Baidu’s good-looking videos that Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker are willing to open all these original platforms, such as e-commerce and advertising, to content entrepreneurs, so that they can get more shares in the ecology.

It can be said that short video has become the biggest outlet in the 4G era, and no giant wants to be absent. Although Tencent and Baidu were behind Aauto Quicker and ByteDance at that time, they all hoped to stay at the poker table and wait for the next outlet in the 5G era. Just one year later, "lucky" Tencent and others came to the WeChat video number, while Baidu "hastily" announced at the end of 2020 that it would acquire YY live broadcast under Huanju Group for over 3 billion yuan.

While the short video industry is in sturm und drang, the industry supervision is becoming stricter. In 2018, short video platforms such as Aauto Quicker, Volcano Video, Meipai and Tik Tok were successively ordered to be rectified by relevant departments. At that time, Tik Tok initiated the initiative of all sectors of society to jointly draft the Tik Tok Community Convention on the platform to strengthen self-discipline; At the beginning of 2019, China Network Audiovisual Program Service Association issued "Management Specification for Network Short Video Platform" and "Detailed Rules for Auditing Network Short Video Content" to guide the standardized development of the industry; In 2020, xiaokaxiu and pear videos were successively removed; The year 2021 coincides with the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and the short video industry is facing the "strongest supervision in history". The China Network Audiovisual Program Service Association issued the Detailed Rules for the Audit Standards of Network Short Video Content, which regulated and restricted the short video content in more detail.

According to the latest data, in 2023, 112,918,700 hours of Internet video programs were added, including 547,462,600 hours of short videos. Internet users watched Internet audio-visual programs (including short videos) for about 3 hours every day, and more than 750 million users uploaded short videos.

It is generally judged in the industry that more and more short video platforms will begin to diversify, taking into account a variety of content and forms of expression; Industry players tend to be more concentrated, relying on the support of giants, and realizing the integration of Lian Heng through capital and resources. As a form of content expression and distribution, short video will be more and more integrated into various super applications. At the same time, with the strengthening of supervision and technological progress, the short video industry will also usher in a more compliant and broad development.

　　China Net Finance August 29th Today, China Consumers Association released an investigation report on the disclosure of personal information of App. In order to more accurately grasp the content scope, possible ways, problem forms, rights protection willingness and other relevant information of consumers’ personal information disclosure, and better safeguard consumers’ legitimate rights and interests, China Consumers Association organized a questionnaire survey on "App Personal Information Disclosure" from July 17 to August 13, 2018. The survey was conducted online, and a total of 5,458 valid questionnaires were collected.

　　I. Main findings of the survey

　　(1) Over 80% of the respondents have experienced personal information disclosure.

　　According to the survey results, the overall situation of personal information disclosure is relatively serious, with 85.2% of people having experienced personal information disclosure and 14.8% not having experienced personal information disclosure.

　　Figure 1: Have you ever encountered personal information disclosure?

　　(2) Common problems encountered after personal information is leaked: harassing sales calls or text messages, receiving fraudulent calls, and receiving spam.

Followed by selling or exchanging to a third party, accounting for 52.4%, being harassed by promoted advertisements accounting for 37.7%, and reputation damage accounting for 6.6%.

　　Figure 3: Concerns about personal information disclosure

　　(D) Operators’ unauthorized collection of personal information and intentional disclosure of information are the main ways of personal information disclosure.

　　According to the survey results, the main way of personal information leakage is that the operator collects personal information without his consent, accounting for about 62.2% of the total sample of the survey; Second, operators or criminals intentionally disclose, sell or illegally provide personal information to others, accounting for about 60.6% of the total sample of the survey, and 57.4% of personal information is leaked due to loopholes in the network service system.

　　It is noteworthy that in the end, about one-third of the respondents chose to "admit that they are unlucky", which may be based on their inability to cope, on the other hand, they may accept the status quo after failing to cope.

　　Figure 5: Measures taken after personal information is leaked.

　　(6) Reading the APPlication authority and user agreement or privacy policy when installing and using the mobile app.

　　1. In terms of reading habits, the respondents who choose "occasional reading" are the most.

　　Figure 7: The extent of reading application permissions and user agreements or privacy policies.

　　3. "You can’t use it without authorization" is the main reason why respondents "never read".

　　According to the survey results, among the 26.2% respondents who never read the application rights and user agreements or privacy policies, the main reason for choosing never to read them is that they can’t use them without authorization, and they can only be forced to accept them, accounting for 61.2%. There are also 22.2% of the respondents who trust the App operators, and 16.6% of the respondents think that the contents of the App user agreement are similar.

　　Figure 8: Reasons for never reading application rights and user agreement/privacy policy.

　　(7) More than 60% of the respondents take measures to fill in some personal information to protect the safety of personal information.

　　According to the survey results, respondents mainly protect personal information security by filling in only a part of personal information when using App, accounting for 67.2%. 32.7% chose to turn off personalized services (such as location), 29.5% refused access to software, 24.6% installed relevant protection software, 18.0% used some false information during registration, and 4.9% of the respondents said they didn’t care.

　　(11) The main reasons for personal information security problems in mobile App are weak personal safety awareness and inadequate supervision.

　　According to the survey results, weak awareness of personal information security protection and inadequate supervision are the main reasons why respondents believe that personal information security problems occur in mobile apps, accounting for 64.0% and 57.3% respectively. Imperfect relevant laws (39.3%), difficulty in obtaining evidence, high cost of rights protection (24.6%), weak awareness of rights protection (19.6%) and lack of self-discipline in the industry (18.0%) are also important reasons for personal information security problems in mobile apps.

　　(12) More than 80% of the respondents believe that the current mobile App needs to be strengthened in the protection of users’ personal information.

　　According to the survey results, respondents believe that the current mobile App needs to be strengthened in terms of users’ personal information, with 62.3% of respondents thinking it is very necessary and 23.0% necessary, accounting for more than 80% of the total sample of the survey. The proportion of people who think it is unnecessary, unnecessary and completely unnecessary is relatively small.

　　1. Personal information disclosure is quite serious, and there are various ways and forms of information disclosure. According to the statistical results, the main ways of personal information leakage of consumers are that operators secretly collect personal information without their consent, operators or lawless elements deliberately disclose, sell or illegally provide personal information to others, and there are loopholes in the network service system, resulting in personal information leakage; When consumers’ personal privacy information is leaked, the most common situations are receiving fraudulent calls, sales calls, SMS harassment, spam and so on.

　　2. Over-collection of personal information by mobile apps shows a general trend. According to the survey results, there are many kinds of permissions that mobile apps need to obtain, the most prominent of which is to obtain location information and access contact rights; Moreover, the user’s privacy rights are obtained when the function of the App itself is not necessary, which increases the risk of personal information disclosure; Most respondents believe that the reason why mobile apps collect personal information is to promote advertisements.

　　3. The frequency and depth of consumers’ reading of mobile App application rights and user agreements or privacy policies need to be improved. According to the survey, more consumers never or occasionally read the text descriptions such as the application rights of mobile App and the user agreement or privacy policy. Moreover, due to the lack of knowledge of network technology and the length of written expression, some consumers will not fully read the written description of privacy policy, or browse it roughly, or read key chapters, and they are not deeply aware of it, and it is easy to miss key information or key descriptions. There are also a large number of consumers who can’t use the App without authorization and have never read the application rights and user agreement or privacy policy of the app.

　　4. The countermeasures after the disclosure of consumers’ personal information are insufficient. According to the survey data, after the disclosure of personal information, consumers are most worried about being used for fraud and theft or handing it over to a third party; However, it is worth noting that there are not a few respondents who choose to respond negatively and feel unlucky, and consumers’ awareness of active rights protection needs to be strengthened.

　　5. Consumers have a strong awareness of personal information security but lack effective protection means. The survey shows that users protect personal information security by filling in some information, and the weak awareness of personal safety and inadequate supervision are the main reasons for personal information security problems in mobile apps. On the one hand, consumers and mobile App service providers are often in an unequal position, and they can only agree or be forced to agree to format terms and information access rights; On the other hand, although consumers have a sense of self-protection, they don’t know how to protect themselves more effectively, and it is difficult to deal with them effectively.

　　Iii. suggestions

　　This survey shows that with the rapid development of the mobile Internet, the leakage of consumers’ personal information is not optimistic, and there is a general trend of over-collection of personal information by mobile apps. Consumers have many concerns, but they often lack sufficient effective countermeasures to protect consumers’ personal information and privacy. How to protect consumers’ personal information and privacy, respect consumers’ values and wishes, and make consumers’ personal information and privacy data no longer "streaking" and be reasonably respected and protected is inseparable from the extensive participation and common governance of all sectors of society. To this end, the China Consumers Association suggests:

　　1. Improve relevant laws and regulations to provide a solid foundation for the long-term development of the industry. At present, China has issued some normative documents and recommended standards to regulate and guide the collection of personal information by App, but the disciplinary measures and compensation issues that consumers are generally concerned about are not deep enough. It is suggested to further clarify the rights and obligations of both parties in the network information service, especially the obligations and responsibilities of App service providers, do a good job in coping with and judging the risks and problems related to the application of personal information and data, and let the data industry in the network era develop within the scope of the rule of law.

　　2. Strengthen the dynamic supervision of enterprises to provide a solid guarantee for the orderly development of the industry. The supervision of mobile App and the protection of personal information need the cooperation and dynamic supervision of the relevant departments such as industrial credit, market supervision, public security, culture and network security. First, strict access threshold and registration and filing, such as the review of developer qualifications, the registration and filing of App, the review of App service functions and contents, and all aspects of violation punishment mechanism should form a linkage to strengthen source governance; Second, severely punish all kinds of violations of laws and regulations, severely crack down on the black industrial chain of personal information trafficking, and form a normalized supervision mechanism for violations of consumers’ personal privacy information; The third is to pay close attention to the development trend of App in the market, such as jointly establishing an App spot check system and a blacklist system, and promptly publicizing the blacklisted software to remind consumers to download it carefully.

　　3. Urge enterprises to be self-disciplined and provide internal motivation for the healthy development of the industry. First of all, App service providers must establish the awareness of the first person responsible for consumer rights protection, adhere to the "safety" bottom line, and strengthen the responsibility to protect consumers’ personal information; Secondly, enterprises should obtain user data in a reasonable and legal way, and take effective measures to ensure the safety of users’ personal information and data, and win consumers’ choice and trust with service quality and security guarantee; Third, enterprises should avoid misunderstanding and misreading by consumers in a concise, eye-catching and easy-to-understand way when providing relevant services and fulfilling their obligation to inform; Fourth, enterprises should fully listen to and respect consumers’ reasonable demands and opinions and give timely feedback to improve consumers’ satisfaction and trust.

　　4. Encourage the public to participate and strengthen the popularization of network knowledge and safety education norms. On the one hand, it is necessary to widely mobilize social forces to jointly deal with the information leakage of mobile App through social propaganda, social mobilization, social participation and social supervision, strengthen the popularization of network knowledge and safety education norms, and enhance consumers’ awareness of personal information security protection and rights protection; On the other hand, it is necessary to unblock complaint channels and rights protection channels, and let consumers actively participate in the actions to safeguard personal information security through the construction of convenient complaint, report, feedback and handling channels, so as to enhance consumers’ rights protection will and effect.

　　5. Cultivate good information credit awareness and usage habits. Consumers should pay attention to "four attentions" when choosing to use mobile App: First, they should pay attention to choosing safe and compliant App products and services, and choose formal and effective channels for download and installation; Second, we should pay attention to carefully reading the Application authority and user agreement or privacy policy description of the app to understand the operational precautions; Third, we should pay attention to cultivate good habits, do not arbitrarily open and agree to unnecessary reading rights, do not arbitrarily input personal privacy information, and regularly maintain and clean up relevant data; Fourth, we should pay attention to seriously deal with the problem of personal privacy information being leaked. When personal information is found to be leaked, we should take the initiative to protect rights in time through effective means and report it to relevant departments when necessary, so as to protect more consumers from it.
