  On April 12th, the China English Proficiency Scale (hereinafter referred to as the Scale), the first English proficiency assessment standard for Chinese English learners, was issued by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Commission and officially implemented on June 1st, 2018.

  Three sections and nine grades: building a multi-level ability index system

  Guided by the use of language, the scale divides the English proficiency of Chinese English learners from low to high into three stages: foundation, improvement and proficiency, with nine levels, and gives a comprehensive, clear and informative description of the ability characteristics of each level.

  According to Jiang Gang, director of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, in order to make the scale conform to China’s national conditions and teaching conditions, the determination of three sections and nine grades is based on the results of empirical research on 160,000 teachers and students in 28 provinces, more than 1,500 schools across the country, with reference to the existing curriculum standards, syllabus and examination syllabus, as well as the analysis of social needs.

  There are 86 competency tables in the scale, including 1 language proficiency table, 8 sub-skill tables, 8 self-evaluation tables and 69 sub-skill tables. The reporter saw that the competency matrix includes the language competency matrix, as well as the skills matrix in eight aspects: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, oral expression, written expression, structural ability, pragmatic ability, interpretation ability and translation ability. Among them, the translation and interpretation proficiency scale fills the gap that the language proficiency scale at home and abroad has not included translation competence.

  When explaining this multi-level ability index system, Liu Jianda, vice president of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and a member of the expert group on the construction of foreign language ability evaluation system, said: "The scale describes the continuous state of English ability, and every English learner and user can find their own position." The scale is described in a "can do" way. For example, the language proficiency summary describes "level 1" as "being able to understand simple language materials that are very familiar in daily life, identify basic information about related activities or things around you, and understand the meaning of basic words. You can communicate with others in basic and short words, greet each other, introduce or describe each other, state the basic information of things around you, and show your attitude, sometimes with the help of non-verbal means such as repetition or gestures and expressions. "

  Wang Shouren, a professor at Nanjing University and chairman of the College Foreign Language Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education, said: "The formulation of the scale has the characteristics of foundation, guidance and integration."

  "Equal Quantity and Balance": Breaking Different Examination Barriers

  It is understood that there are the following problems in China’s current foreign language examinations: First, there are many existing foreign language examinations with different standards, the concept of examination level is unclear, and the scores of different examinations are incomparable, which is not conducive to users’ understanding and use, and is not conducive to promoting scientific talent selection. Second, the content of the examination is not comprehensive, and the positive orientation of the examination to foreign language teaching is insufficient. There is a lack of effective connection between the examinations of various academic periods, and there are cases of repeated contents or broken files. These are not conducive to promoting the coherent and orderly development of teaching, and are not conducive to the improvement of teaching effectiveness. Third, the international recognition of foreign language examinations in China is not high, which is not conducive to improving the level of internationalization of education.

  "The goal of the foreign language proficiency assessment system is to change the situation that the existing examinations are incomplete, unsystematic and unconnected, and to establish a foreign language proficiency assessment standard and examination system with China characteristics, international standards and multiple functions, so as to better serve the scientific selection of talents, serve the development of foreign language education and teaching, and promote the improvement of students’ comprehensive foreign language ability." Jiang Gang said.

  As the core task of the construction of foreign language assessment system, the formulation of the scale aims at providing a scientific ability index system and an accurate ability scale for various English tests, giving play to the role of "balancing quantity with quantity", making the test design more comprehensive and systematic, making the test scores comparable, providing a basis for the communication and mutual recognition of different learning achievements, promoting the convergence of different learning segments and promoting the coherent and orderly development of foreign language education.

  In terms of English assessment, Han Baocheng, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University and a member of the expert group on the construction of foreign language proficiency assessment system, commented: "The scale can improve the quality of exams, promote the docking and mutual recognition of domestic and foreign exams, and promote the development of multiple assessments." Specifically, it provides a scientific ability evaluation standard for the content design, test question system, marking and performance report of various examinations; Provide a unified yardstick for connecting and positioning domestic and foreign exams, enhance the comparability of exams, and promote the docking and mutual recognition of domestic and foreign exams; Provide competency reference standards for the process and summative evaluation methods of English teaching, and promote the development of multiple evaluations. "

  It is reported that the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education has signed an agreement with Britain and the United States to start the docking research between IELTS, TOEFL and China Scale.

  Complementarity and mutual promotion: docking teaching, learning and testing

  Then, what is the relationship between the scale and the curriculum standards and examination syllabus of basic education?

  Wang Shouren, who participated in the revision of English curriculum standards for basic education, explained: "The scale and curriculum standards go in the same direction and complement each other." The scale is highly consistent with the teaching requirements such as curriculum standards in improving students’ core literacy, and fully meets the teaching requirements of each period in terms of key language skills. Moreover, the descriptors of pragmatic ability and cognitive ability in the scale play a leading and guiding role in English teaching, that is, our English teaching should focus on cultivating students’ language application ability and learning ability. In terms of specific functions, the difference between the scale and the curriculum standard is that the curriculum standard is a teaching program formulated for a certain learning period, which puts forward prescriptive requirements for the teaching content; The scale is a reference standard for all kinds of learners, which mainly plays a role in testing the ability level in examination application.

  It is understood that the scale is not a syllabus or an examination syllabus, and its nine grades are not mandatory for students. At the same time, the scale can help language learners to self-diagnose their English ability, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and set learning goals in a targeted way, which is helpful to cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability and make foreign language learning more personalized.

  Jiang Gang said that how to apply the scale in the next teaching, learning and testing needs teachers and examiners to decide according to the specific situation. The Examination Center of the Ministry of Education is developing the National English Proficiency Test on the basis of the scale, which lays the foundation for reducing repeated tests and improving the system of the test. At present, it is mainly considered to cooperate with the strategy of cultivating high-quality talents and develop examinations for the higher education stage with strong social demand.

Some opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on promoting the reform of price mechanism (full text)

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 15th

Some opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on promoting the reform of price mechanism

(12 October 2015)

The price mechanism is the core of the market mechanism, and the market determines the price, which is the key for the market to play a decisive role in resource allocation. Since the reform and opening up, as an important part of the economic system reform, the price reform has been continuously promoted and deepened, and the prices of most competitive commodities have been liberalized, which has played an important role in establishing and improving the socialist market economic system and promoting sustained and healthy economic and social development. Especially in recent years, the pace of price reform has been greatly accelerated, the prices of a large number of goods and services have been liberalized one after another, and the marketization of prices in refined oil, natural gas, railway transportation and other fields has been significantly improved. At the same time, we should also see that the price reform in some key areas and key links needs to be deepened, the government pricing system needs to be further improved, and the market price behavior needs to be further standardized. In order to promote the price reform to develop in depth and speed up the improvement of the price mechanism mainly determined by the market, we hereby put forward the following opinions.

I. General requirements

(1) Guiding ideology. Fully implement the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Plenary Sessions of the 18th CPC Central Committee, actively adapt to and lead the new normal of economic development in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, closely focus on making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation and better play the role of the government, comprehensively deepen price reform, improve the price formation mechanism in key areas, improve the government pricing system, strengthen market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, and create a good price environment for economic and social development.

(2) Basic principles

-Adhere to market decisions. Correctly handle the relationship between the government and the market, and hand over all the prices that can be formed by the market to the market, and the government will not interfere improperly. We will promote price reform in water, oil, natural gas, electricity, transportation and other fields, liberalize prices in competitive links, and give full play to the role of the market in determining prices.

-adhere to the combination of release and management. Further enhance the awareness of the rule of law, fairness and responsibility, strengthen supervision after the event, and optimize price services. In the field of government pricing, we must strictly regulate the government pricing behavior, and resolutely manage the thin tube in place; In the field of independent pricing, operators should improve rules, strengthen law enforcement, maintain market order, safeguard and promote fair competition, and promote the construction of modern market system.

-Persist in reform and innovation. Explore and innovate in price formation mechanism, regulation system and supervision mode, respect the initiative of grassroots and the masses, and promote the transformation of price management from direct pricing to standardizing price behavior, creating a good price environment and serving macro-control. Give full play to price leverage to promote economic transformation and upgrading and improve quality and efficiency.

-Adhere to steady and prudent progress. Price reform should be coordinated with the reform of fiscal revenue, income distribution, industry management system, etc., reasonably distinguish between basic and non-basic needs, take into account the relationship between upstream and downstream of the industry, enterprise development and people’s livelihood security, economic efficiency and social equity, economic development and environmental protection, grasp the opportunity, rhythm and intensity, effectively prevent all kinds of risks and ensure stability and order.

(3) Main objectives. By 2017, the prices of competitive fields and links will be basically liberalized, and the scope of government pricing will be mainly limited to important public utilities, public welfare services and network-based natural monopoly links. By 2020, the market-determined price mechanism will be basically perfect, a scientific, standardized and transparent price supervision system and anti-monopoly law enforcement system will be basically established, and the price control mechanism will be basically sound.

Second, deepen price reform in key areas and give full play to the role of the market in determining prices.

Focusing on making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation, we will accelerate the pace of price reform, further promote decentralization, combination of liberalization and management, optimize services, respect enterprises’ independent pricing rights and consumers’ free choice, and promote the free flow and fair trade of goods and factors.

(4) Improve the price formation mechanism of agricultural products. Make overall use of the international and domestic markets, pay attention to the role of the market in forming prices, and the prices of agricultural products are mainly determined by the market. In accordance with the principle of "emphasizing key points, keeping and releasing", based on China’s national conditions, we will implement differentiated support policies for different varieties, adjust and improve the "yellow box" support policies, gradually expand the scale and scope of the "green box" support policies, protect farmers’ enthusiasm for production, promote the sustainable development of agricultural production, and ensure the basic self-sufficiency of grains and the absolute safety of rations. We will continue to implement and improve the minimum purchase price policy for rice and wheat, reform and improve the corn purchasing and storage system, continue to implement the pilot reform of cotton and soybean target prices, and improve the subsidy payment method. Strengthen the cost investigation and price monitoring of agricultural products, accelerate the establishment of a global agricultural data investigation and analysis system, and provide important support for the government to formulate policies such as agricultural product prices and agricultural subsidies.

(5) Accelerate the marketization of energy prices. In accordance with the general idea of "managing the middle and letting go of both ends", we will promote the reform of energy prices such as electricity and natural gas, promote diversified competition among market players, handle and gradually reduce cross-subsidies, and restore the attributes of energy commodities. Opportunity to liberalize the price of refined oil, comprehensively rationalize the price of natural gas as soon as possible, speed up the liberalization of natural gas sources and sales prices, orderly liberalize the on-grid electricity price and sales electricity price other than public welfare, and establish a mechanism in which energy prices are mainly determined by the market. Separate the transmission and distribution price from the selling price in the formation mechanism, independently verify the transmission and distribution price, and gradually realize that the selling price other than public welfare is formed by the market. According to the principle of "allowable cost plus reasonable income", the transmission and distribution prices of power grid and natural gas pipeline network are reasonably formulated. Expand the pilot scope of transmission and distribution price reform, gradually cover all provincial power grids, scientifically verify the permitted income and distribution price of power grid enterprises, change the supervision mode of power grid enterprises, and gradually form an independent transmission and distribution price system with clear rules, reasonable level, strong supervision and scientific transparency. Before liberalizing the competitive link electricity price, we should improve the linkage mechanism of coal-electricity price and the benchmark electricity price system, so that the electricity price can better reflect the market demand and cost changes.

(six) improve the environmental service price policy. Coordinate the use of environmental taxes, fees and related service price policies, increase the adjustment of economic leverage, gradually make the expenses borne by enterprises to discharge various pollutants higher than the cost of active treatment, and improve the enthusiasm of enterprises to actively control pollution and reduce emissions. According to the principle of "pollution pays, fair burden, compensation cost and reasonable profit", the charging standard of sewage treatment should be raised reasonably, and the charging standard of urban sewage treatment should not be lower than the cost of sewage treatment and sludge disposal. We should explore the establishment of an adjustment mechanism linking the treatment service fee allocated by the government to sewage treatment enterprises with the sewage treatment effect, and implement an encouraging price policy for the resource utilization of sewage treatment. Actively promote the pilot work of paid use and trading of emission rights, improve the trading price system of emission rights, and use market means to guide enterprises to take the initiative to control pollution and reduce emissions.

(7) Rationalize the price of medical services. Focusing on the goal of deepening the reform of the medical and health system, in accordance with the principle of "total control, structural adjustment, rising and falling, and gradual arrival", we will actively and steadily promote the reform of medical service prices, rationally adjust the price of medical services, and simultaneously strengthen the convergence of relevant policies such as prices and medical insurance to ensure the sustainable development of medical institutions, affordable medical insurance funds, and no increase in the burden on the masses. Establish a dynamic price adjustment mechanism based on changes in cost and income structure, and basically straighten out the price comparison relationship of medical services by 2020. Implement the policy of adjusting the price of medical services in non-public medical institutions. The price of medical service items in public medical institutions shall be managed by classification, and the price of medical service items with sufficient market competition and strong individualized demand shall be regulated by the market. The service items paid by the medical insurance fund shall be negotiated and reasonably determined by the medical insurance agency and the medical institution. Further improve the drug procurement mechanism and give play to the role of medical insurance in controlling fees. The actual transaction price of drugs is mainly formed by market competition.

(eight) improve the transportation price mechanism. Gradually liberalize the price in the competitive field of railway transportation and expand the scope of independent pricing by operators; Improve the dynamic price adjustment mechanism of railway freight and highway, and simplify the freight rate structure; Construct a passenger transport fare system based on train speed and grade and reflecting the difference in service quality.

Liberalize postal competitive service charges and straighten out the structure and level of postal service charges. Implement a parking fee policy that is conducive to promoting the construction of parking facilities, alleviating urban traffic congestion, and effectively promoting the priority development of public transportation and the utilization of public road resources. Further improve the formation mechanism of taxi freight rate, give play to the leverage of freight rate to adjust the relationship between supply and demand in taxi transportation market, establish and improve the dynamic adjustment mechanism of taxi freight rate and the linkage method between freight rate and fuel price.

(nine) innovative public utilities and public service price management. Clearly define the rights and obligations of the government, enterprises and users, distinguish between basic and non-basic needs, establish and improve the coordination mechanism between financial input and price adjustment of public utilities and public welfare services, promote the cooperation between government and social capital, ensure the sustainable development of the industry and meet diversified needs. We will fully implement the ladder price system for residents’ water, electricity and gas consumption, and implement the charging system for heating according to the heat consumption, and further improve it according to the actual situation. Education, culture, pension, funeral and other public welfare services should be combined with the reform process of government procurement services, and classified management should be implemented. Students in public schools are exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees in the compulsory education stage, and tuition fees in public kindergartens, high schools (including secondary vocational schools) and colleges and universities are managed as administrative fees; For-profit private schools charge their own fees, and the charging policy for non-profit private schools is determined by the provincial government according to the local actual situation in the direction of marketization. The old-age service institutions invested by the government are free of charge for the "three noes" elderly according to law; For other elderly people with special difficulties to provide old-age services, the bed fee and nursing fee are subject to government pricing management, and the prices of other old-age services are independently priced by operators. Promote the price reform of tickets and related services in tourist attractions by classification. Promote public utilities and public service operators to increase information disclosure, accept social supervision, and protect the public’s right to know and supervise.

Third, establish and improve the government pricing system, so that power can operate in the sun.

For a few reserved government pricing projects, it is necessary to promote the listing of pricing projects, standardize pricing procedures, strengthen cost supervision and examination, promote cost disclosure, resolutely manage the thin tube and manage it in place, minimize discretion, and promote the openness and transparency of government pricing.

(ten) to promote the listing of government pricing projects. On the basis of accelerating price reform, the central and local governments should formulate and publish a new government pricing catalogue before 2016, and limit the scope of government pricing mainly to important public utilities, public welfare services and network-based natural monopoly links. All government pricing projects will be included in the government pricing catalogue management. The pricing items in the catalogue should be clearly defined item by item, so as to ensure that there is no pricing right outside the catalogue, and government pricing should be included in the list of rights and responsibilities. Regularly evaluate the effectiveness of price reform and the degree of market competition, and timely adjust specific pricing items.

(eleven) standardize the government pricing procedures. For projects included in the government pricing catalogue, it is necessary to formulate specific management measures, pricing mechanisms, cost supervision and examination rules, and further standardize pricing procedures. Encourage and support third parties to put forward suggestions on price adjustment schemes and participate in price hearings. Improve the system of public participation, legality review and expert argumentation in the process of government pricing, ensure that the working procedures are clear, standardized, open and transparent, actively accept social supervision, and effectively restrain government pricing behavior.

(twelve) to strengthen the cost supervision and examination and cost information disclosure. Adhere to the principle of cost supervision and examination, take cost supervision and examination as an important procedure for the government to formulate and adjust prices, and constantly improve the cost supervision and examination mechanism. In accordance with the provisions of the implementation of cost supervision and examination, to gradually establish and improve the cost disclosure system. Operators of public utilities and public welfare services shall disclose their costs in accordance with the provisions of government pricing agencies, which shall disclose the conclusions of cost supervision and examination before setting and adjusting prices.

Four, strengthen market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, and gradually establish the basic position of competition policy.

Clean up and abolish all kinds of regulations and practices that hinder the national unified market and fair competition, prohibit and punish all kinds of illegal preferential policies, establish fair, open and transparent market price supervision rules, vigorously promote market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, and oppose monopoly and unfair competition. Accelerate the establishment of a coordination mechanism between competition policy and industrial and investment policies, implement a fair competition review system, and promote the construction of a unified, open and competitive market system.

(thirteen) improve the rules of market price behavior. In the field of operators’ independent pricing, it is necessary to formulate price behavior rules and supervision measures according to law for goods and services that have a great impact on the economy and society, especially those closely related to people’s livelihood; In areas where there are insufficient market competition, unequal status of both parties to the transaction, asymmetric market information, etc., it is necessary to study and formulate corresponding bargaining rules, price behavior norms and guidelines, improve the system provisions such as clearly marked prices and publicity of fees, and reasonably guide operators’ price behavior.

(fourteen) to promote broadband network speed and fee reduction. Standardize telecom tariff behavior, promote broadband network speed-up and fee reduction, and provide strong support for the development of "internet plus". Guide and promote telecom enterprises to simplify the tariff structure, effectively improve the cost performance of broadband internet access and other services, and provide more favorable tariff schemes for urban and rural low-income groups. Supervise and urge telecommunications enterprises to formulate reasonable tariff standards and charging methods for Internet access services, and promote interconnection between telecommunications networks. It is strictly forbidden to use unfair pricing behavior to hinder the competition of telecommunications services and disrupt the market order. Strengthen the supervision of tariff behavior, clean up unreasonable fees such as entrance fees, coordination fees and sharing fees in the construction of broadband networks, and severely crack down on price violations.

(fifteen) to strengthen market price supervision. Establish and improve a market price supervision system with institutional authority, complete laws, perfect mechanisms and strong implementation, effectively prevent, timely stop and investigate all kinds of price violations according to law. Adhere to the combination of daily supervision and special inspection, strengthen price supervision in the field of people’s livelihood, focus on solving outstanding problems reflected by the masses, and protect consumer rights and interests. Strengthen supervision and inspection, and ensure that operators enjoy independent pricing power according to law for the prices of goods and services that have been liberalized by the government.

(sixteen) to strengthen anti-monopoly law enforcement. Pay close attention to competition dynamics, start anti-monopoly investigation on suspected monopolistic behaviors in time, make efforts to investigate and deal with monopolistic behaviors such as reaching a monopoly agreement, abusing market dominance and abusing administrative power to eliminate competition restrictions, and announce the handling decisions according to law to maintain a fair competition market environment. Establish and improve the clue collection mechanism of monopoly cases and broaden the sources of cases. Study and formulate relevant anti-monopoly guidelines and improve market competition rules. Promote operators to strengthen anti-monopoly compliance construction.

(seventeen) improve the price social supervision system. Give full play to the role of the 12358 price reporting management information system of the national four-level network, and encourage consumers and operators to participate in price supervision together. Strengthen the analysis of report data, regularly publish analysis reports to warn operators and remind consumers. Establish and improve the team of price supervisors of residents in streets, communities, towns and villages, and improve the price social supervision network. Relying on the social credit system, we will accelerate the construction of price integrity, build the price credit files of operators, carry out the activities of establishing price integrity units, set up a "blacklist" of price untrustworthy people, and jointly punish the untrustworthy behaviors that constitute price violations. Encourage and support the news media to actively participate in price social supervision, and improve the supervision and guidance mechanism of public opinion.

Five, give full play to the role of price leverage, better serve macro-control.

While comprehensively deepening reform and strengthening price supervision, strengthen and improve macro-control and keep the overall price level basically stable; Give full play to price leverage, promote energy conservation, environmental protection and structural adjustment, and promote economic transformation and upgrading.

(eighteen) to strengthen the overall price level control. Strengthen the coordination of prices with financial, monetary, investment, industrial, import and export, material reserve and other policy means, rationally use legal means, economic means and necessary administrative means to form a joint force of policies, and strive to keep the overall price level within a reasonable range. Strengthen the early warning of deflation and inflation, and formulate and improve corresponding prevention and control plans. Improve the price monitoring and early warning mechanism and emergency response system, build a commodity price index system, improve the important commodity reserve system, and enhance the overall price level control ability.

(nineteen) improve the price policy of energy conservation and environmental protection in the production field. Establish a price system conducive to energy conservation and emission reduction, and gradually make energy prices fully reflect the cost of environmental governance. Continue to implement and adjust environmental protection electricity price policies such as desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal in a timely manner. Encourage all localities to study and improve the differential electricity price, water price and other price measures for backward processes, equipment and products in industries with high energy consumption, high pollution and overcapacity according to the actual industrial development and structural adjustment needs, combined with the process of system reform in the fields of electricity and water, and implement electricity price policies based on unit energy consumption exceeding quota for industries such as electrolytic aluminum and cement, so as to accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity and promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure.

(twenty) improve the system of paid use of resources and ecological compensation system. Accelerate the reform of natural resources and their products prices and fiscal and taxation systems, and fully reflect market supply and demand, resource scarcity, ecological environment damage costs and restoration benefits. Improve the resources and environment charging fund or paid use charging policy involving soil and water conservation, mines, grassland vegetation, forest vegetation, ocean dumping, etc. We will promote the reform of water resources fees, study the collection of water resources taxes, and promote the pilot projects in areas where groundwater is over-exploited. Take comprehensive measures to gradually rationalize the price of water resources, deepen the comprehensive reform of agricultural water prices, and promote the protection and economical use of water resources.

(twenty-one) innovation to promote regional development of the price policy. For government and social capital cooperation projects with regional characteristics, the price management should be liberalized as soon as possible if the competition conditions are met; If price management is still needed, explore the decentralization of pricing authority to local governments, improve the flexibility of price adjustment, and mobilize the enthusiasm of social investment. Accelerate the formulation and improvement of the price policy that adapts to the development of the free trade pilot zone, decentralize it to the autonomous implementation in the zone as soon as possible, and promote fair competition among various market players.

VI. Safeguard measures

The price work involves a wide range, strong policy and high social concern, which affects the whole body. We must strengthen the organization and implementation, scientifically formulate plans, improve supporting measures, and do a good job of public opinion guidance to provide a strong guarantee for accelerating the improvement of the price mechanism mainly determined by the market.

(twenty-two) to strengthen the organization and implementation. All relevant departments in all regions should fully understand the importance, urgency and arduousness of accelerating the improvement of the price mechanism mainly determined by the market, unify their thinking and form a joint force, so as to fight a tough battle with the spirit of "hard bones". It is necessary to conduct in-depth research and scientific argumentation, listen to opinions from all sides extensively, highlight key points, advance by classification, refine the work plan, summarize and evaluate in time, and advance steadily and orderly, so as to achieve practical results. If it has a significant impact and does not have the conditions for comprehensive opening, it can carry out pilot projects first, play a leading role in demonstration, and accumulate experience that can be replicated and promoted. It is necessary to pay close attention to implementation, clarify the timetable, road map and responsibility form, regularly supervise and strengthen accountability, and make every effort to get through the "first mile" of policy introduction, the "middle obstruction" of policy implementation and the "last mile" of policy implementation to ensure that all measures take root.

(twenty-three) improve the price legal system. Closely combined with the actual work of price reform, regulation and supervision, we will speed up the revision of relevant laws and regulations such as the price law, improve the price laws and regulations with the price law and anti-monopoly law as the core, formulate or revise government pricing behavior rules, cost supervision and examination, price monitoring, price hearings, standardize market price behavior and other rules and regulations in a timely manner, and comprehensively promote the rule of law.

(twenty-four) to strengthen capacity building. While reducing government pricing matters, we should pay attention to price monitoring and early warning, cost investigation and supervision, price regulation, market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, price public services, etc., and strengthen team building at the same time, enrich and strengthen the work force and consolidate the work foundation. Vigorously promote the construction of price informatization, and provide strong support for enhancing the ability of price regulation and supervision services. Encourage institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions to establish price and anti-monopoly research institutions, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, and train specialized personnel. Integrate anti-monopoly law enforcement subjects and forces, and relatively concentrate law enforcement power.

(twenty-five) the bottom line of people’s livelihood. Firmly establish the bottom line thinking, and always take safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood as the starting point and end result of the work. When carrying out price policies involving people’s livelihood, especially major price reform policies, we should fully consider the social affordability, especially the possible impact of policies on the lives of low-income groups, do a good job in risk assessment, and improve supporting measures. We will implement and improve the linkage mechanism linking social assistance, security standards and price increases, improve the social assistance system, especially the assistance measures for the poor, and ensure that the basic livelihood of the poor people will not be affected. Strengthen price supervision in the field of people’s livelihood, do a good job in mediation of price disputes, and safeguard the legitimate price rights and interests of the people.

(twenty-six) do a good job of public opinion guidance. Intensify publicity and reporting on comprehensively deepening price reform, standardizing government pricing, strengthening market price supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, strengthen news release, accurately explain price policies, tell the "price reform story", guide public opinion in time, respond to social concerns, convey good voice and positive energy that are conducive to accelerating the improvement of the price mechanism mainly determined by the market and promoting economic transformation and upgrading, and actively create a good public opinion atmosphere.

China football, why is it "hot" again recently?

BEIJING, Beijing, May 27 (Reporter Bian Liqun) "Shanghai Shenhua goalkeeper Ma Zhen committed violent acts and punched the opponent’s player in the face. He was suspended for 5 games and fined 50,000 yuan; Rodriguez, a foreign aid from Meizhou Hakka, carried out non-sports behavior and used insulting gestures to the opposing players. He was suspended for 4 games and fined RMB40,000. "

On the evening of 26th, China Football Association issued another heavy ticket. This is already the second consecutive round of the Super League, and two players have been severely punished for violence on the field.

Recently, football in China is full of anger, and in addition, the referee is insulted in the game and accused by social media. Since May, the China Football Association has issued as many as 21 tickets, most of which are concentrated in the past half month.

The fire can’t be suppressed again.

The league has returned to the home and away games, and the fans have returned to the stadium. This season, the Super League is very popular. However, recently, there has been a lot of anger.

Of course, every season, there will inevitably be angry scenes. At the beginning of last season, just after two rounds of competition, the Super League created nine red cards and five tickets.

In contrast, this season, it is an improvement to enter the third node of the league and get frequent fines.

Since the fifth round, the fire in the Super League has gradually started. Sunic, the foreign aid of Henan team, pushed down Fang Hao, a teenager from Beijing Guoan, and was suspended for five games by China Football Association, and fined 50,000 yuan.

In the same round of competition, Fan Bing, an official of Nantong Zhiyun Team, was banned from entering the competition stadium for one game and fined RMB10,000 by the Football Association for publishing the contents of questioning the referee in the WeChat circle of friends.

Coincidentally, Xie Hui, the coach of Dalian People’s Team, was also banned from entering the competition stadium for one game and fined RMB 10,000 for publishing the contents of the penalty dispute on social media.

As Nantong Zhiyun sent a long article in response to the Football Association’s fine on May 16th, the fire reached a new height.

"The facts on which the penalty decision is based are unclear and are not within the jurisdiction of the Football Association Disciplinary Committee, and the applicable rules are inappropriate; Moreover, although the punishment decision shows that there is a’ description of the parties’ by applying the template, in fact, it did not give our club or Fan Bing any opportunity to communicate, explain and defend themselves, and never held an interview meeting or hearing under the rules, lacking due process. "

"If such’ punishment decisions’ that lack legal basis and express personal opinions are allowed to flood, it will inevitably lead to illegal restrictions on the legitimate freedom of expression of football players and lead to a chilling effect."

Until now, the China Football Association has not responded to this. And a wave of unrest, a wave of rise again.

In the match between Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Shandong Taishan Mountain on May 19th, Jia Desong, a foreign aid of Taishan Team, punched Beric, a foreign aid of Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, and the latter was injured. Jia Desong was finally banned for five games by the China Football Association and fined 50,000 yuan.

In the same round of competition between Wuhan Sanzhen and Chengdu Rongcheng, Aziz, a foreign aid from the three towns, trampled on his opponent’s leg and was banned for four games and fined 40,000 yuan.

Next, Shanghai Shenhua goalkeeper Ma Zhen and Meizhou Hakka foreign aid Rodrigo.

Why are you so angry?

Recently, the violence in China football field has been concentrated, which has to cause a question: Why are people so angry?

This season’s return to the home and away Super League, although the star flavor is insufficient after the loss of big-name stars, the game is still quite fierce.

To a certain extent, some of the anger also comes from this. Under the competition for every inch of land on the court, coupled with the blessing of the players’ own hormones in the game, irrational behavior is prone to occur.

However, combing down, the source of a lot of anger comes from some penalties.

For example, Fan Bing, an official of Nantong Zhiyun, and Xie Hui, the coach of Dalian, made speeches on social media, all of which were aimed at the referee’s penalty.

In the match between Tianjin Jinmenhu and Shandong Taishan, the players of the two teams have accumulated anger for a long time. Before Jia Desong’s boxing behavior, the fighting action has gone beyond the normal range. Unfortunately, the referee on duty failed to control the field well, which indirectly led to a large-scale conflict at the end of the game. All kinds of chaos have buried the original excitement of this goal war.

Sunic, a foreign aid from Henan province, and Aziz, a foreign aid from three towns in Wuhan, were given additional punishment for their violent behavior, but in the game, the two referees on duty only showed them yellow cards.

The Wuhan Three Towns team punished Aziz for one dollar and responded to the ticket in disguise.

Another big source of anger is the intensive schedule. Since the start of the game on April 15th, the Chinese Super League has played 9 rounds in more than one month, with each team playing once every 4 days on average.

Under the long-term consumption of double matches in a week, the players are inevitably tired of fighting, which further increases their anger.

Sparse fire can reduce fire.

Objective factors, such as the intensive schedule and the referee’s ruling level, cannot be changed in a short time. Therefore, the way of suppressing fire, which is similar to punishing improper remarks, can not reduce the fire well, but is easy to be swallowed up by fire.

Therefore, Nantong Zhiyun, Wuhan Sanzhen and other clubs responded fiercely, and the behavior of club officials abusing referees on the court and questioning referees on social media off the court became more and more concentrated.

Fans in the stands and on social media are also angry.

For the current football in China, communication needs to be strengthened, and all parties need to reduce the fire.

In fact, in the 2021 season, the Super League used the mechanism of publicly responding to controversial penalties, but it did not last long, and such responses disappeared.

In addition, some fans suggested that it is possible to reconsider choosing an international referee in some 6-point battles related to championship or relegation.

Although this move may not necessarily put an end to the phenomenon of questioning the referee and the misjudgment and omission in the court, it can still alleviate the anger caused by various trust crises.

In any case, it is really precious that the league resumes home and away games, fans return to the stadium, and some stadiums even have a hard-to-find ticket. Football practitioners in China should cherish this fire, not anger. (End)

Curry: I have been trying to be at the highest level for the past 15 years, and the seventh place is very low.

Recently, Warrior star Curry participated in the program Wired Autocomplete Interview.

Asked why the draft pick was so low, Curry said, "Seventh is not too late, ranking seventh out of 60 people. There are three point guards in front of me, and I have been trying to be at the highest level for the past 15 years, making this seventh place look very, very low. So it’s like a revision of history, but I like the fact that people generally think that the seventh place is too low. "

Houston veteran sentenced to 10 years! Rockets boss refuses 4-for-1 deal to get 32+7 superstar.

I believe many old Rockets fans can still remember the name Terrence Williams.

Born in 1987 and nearly 2 meters tall, the swingman was a supernova at the University of Louisville. He was selected as the best team of NCAA Dadong League for many times and participated in the draft with Harden in 2009. That year Harden was selected in the third place, while Terrence Williams was selected in the eleventh place.

Terrence Williams has excellent height quality, but he failed to play in the New Jersey Nets and was finally sent to the Houston Rockets. At that time, the general manager of Rocket liked to scratch lottery tickets, and he thought Terence Williams could fulfill his talent in Houston.

The Rockets failed to save Tabbit, the No.2 show in 2009, nor could they revive Terrence Williams, the No.11 show, who left after playing 23 games for Houston.

Now many American media have mentioned the name of Terrence Williams, the Houston veteran who was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Terrence Williams’ NBA career was not long, and he didn’t have enough money after retiring, so he tried to make money. Terrence Williams plotted to defraud the NBA health care plan of $5 million, and he submitted forged applications and invoices.

Two years ago, the American media broke the news that 18 former NBA players were arrested for cheating money from the NBA health care plan, and Terence Williams was the mastermind.

Because the evidence is conclusive! Terrence Williams can only plead guilty. According to the agreement, he has to pay up to $2.5 million in compensation and at least $650,000 in fines.

The exchange of Terence Williams with a first-round signing has long been proved to be a failure. At that time, the general manager of the Rocket who made this operation had been swept out of the house by Fertitta.

Rockets owner Fertitta turned down a 4-for-1 deal to get 75 superstar Lillard, who averaged 32 points and 7 assists last season.

Not long ago, the American media "fadeawayworld" said that the Rockets should try their best to win next season in the hope of reaching the playoffs. Although this team strengthened its lineup this summer, it still lacks a superstar to lead the team. If the Rockets can trade to Lillard, it is not a dream to return to the playoffs.

The American media put forward a 4-for-1 trading scheme:

The Rockets sent Jay Green, jabari Smith Jr., Kevin Porter Jr. and Tate, and Damian Lillard from the Trailblazers.

Lillard showed his attitude, but the Heat couldn’t come up with a chip to tempt the Blazers. Trailblazers reporter said that if the deal could not be reached, Lillard would attend the team’s training camp and play on time, and he wanted to get his own salary.

The Blazers hope to exchange Lillard for potential new stars and multiple first-round draft picks. "fadeawayworld" said that Green and Smith Jr. can impress the pioneers, and both of them have great potential.

Henderson, a 19-year-old pioneer star, publicly stated before the draft that he wanted to play with Jay Green, and they would make good partners.

Jay Green is a rookie with the strongest scoring power and the best physical quality in the 2021 session, and his ability to learn and resist pressure is also excellent. Although Green experienced a period of struggle in his rookie season, he quickly adjusted and played better and better. Last season, Green averaged 22.1 points when he became the defensive focus of the opponent, and his defense and passing also improved significantly. He was recruited into the American men’s basketball sparring team.

Green trained with NBA stars such as Duran in the summer. Some American media people said that the sky is the limit of Green, and he should develop towards Jordan and Kobe.

Only 20-year-old Smith played a dominant role in this year’s summer league, and he has won the recognition of head coach Uduka because he can shoot and defend multiple positions.

Porter Jr. and Tate were involved in the trading rumors, but the Rockets will not let them go until they receive a satisfactory offer.

Lillard is 33 years old. His annual salary will reach $45.64 million next season and $63.23 million in 2026-2027.

Fertitta, the owner of the Rockets, is a shrewd businessman and doesn’t want to be a sucker. Fertitta said before that Paul’s contract was terrible. Lillard, who is now at the end of his career, is also a premium contract, and his ability to lead the team is not as good as Harden’s, so he is not worth so much money.

Fertitta hopes that Green and Smith Jr. can grow into all-star players and lead the Rockets to the championship.

When analyzing the Lillard transaction, sbnation also indicated that Rocket owner Fertitta would not agree to this plan.
