CCTV News:According to the "Ministry of Ecology and Environment" WeChat WeChat official account news, 1-mdash in 2022; In September, among the assessment sections of surface water in 3641 countries, I & mdash; The proportion of Class III section was 86.3%, an increase of 4.5 percentage points year-on-year; The proportion of water bodies inferior to Class V was 0.9%, down by 0.3 percentage points year-on-year (after deducting the influence of natural factors, the proportion of water bodies inferior to Class V was 0.5%), and the overall water environment quality in China continued to improve. At the same time, however, the problem of unbalanced and uncoordinated water ecological environment in China is still outstanding. There are obvious shortcomings in urban and rural environmental infrastructure in some areas, and the black and odorous water bodies that have been treated in some cities have rebounded. The problem of total nitrogen increase in a few key lakes and reservoirs cannot be ignored, and the pollution problem in some areas on the eastern route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project is outstanding in flood season.
17 sections (excluding the influence of natural factors) inferior to Class V are distributed in 8 provinces. Among them, Yunnan Province has the largest number of four.
7 sections with obvious deterioration of water quality (excluding the influence of natural factors), distributed in 7 provinces.
In the third quarter, the top 50 sections with high pollution intensity in flood season were distributed in 18 provinces, with a large number of provinces being Yunnan (9), Shanxi (7) and Henan (6). Among them, the pollution intensity of Zaohuo ‘an section in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, Longtou section in Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, and Nanyao section in Lvliang City, Shanxi Province in flood season are among the top three in China, which are 17.7 times, 16.7 times and 13.8 times of the water quality target limit respectively.
The black and odorous water bodies in 16 prefecture-level cities and above that have been treated have obviously turned black and odorous, which are distributed in 9 prefecture-level cities in 7 provinces. As of July, 2022, the list of black and odorous water bodies in county-level cities reported by local investigation has been published simultaneously in official website of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the public is welcome to supervise it.
In response to the above-mentioned outstanding problems, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will issue an early warning letter to the relevant provincial ecological and environmental departments, compact the responsibilities of relevant local entities, urge relevant places to verify the situation, and formulate and implement rectification measures. In view of the outstanding problems that have been delayed for a long time, organize relevant river basin bureaus to carry out independent investigations, supervise and help the administrative regions where the problems are located to study countermeasures and promote the solution of the problems.
During the epidemic, in addition to external protection, food safety is also the top priority of protection. Before food enters people’s mouths, it takes several steps to get it from farms or fishing grounds to the table. We call it the food production chain. In the process of production, processing, distribution or cooking, pollution may occur.
Food production
Production refers to the process of planting crops or raising animals for food. It is usually carried out on farms or pastures, and some foods are captured or harvested from the wild, such as some fish, mushrooms and game.
Examples of pollution in production:
1. If the hen’s feed is infected or infected by some zoonotic diseases, the eggs and chicken produced in this way may be contaminated, resulting in food safety problems.
2. If the farmland is irrigated with polluted water, the fruits and vegetables will be polluted before harvesting.
3. Some fish growing in water may get toxins or accumulate some harmful substances from the small marine organisms they eat. For example, some fish living in water polluted by mercury will be rich in methylmercury, which will cause food safety problems.
Food processing
Processing refers to the process of turning crops or animals into food forms that we know and buy through machinery or labor according to the technological process. The processing technology of different kinds of food will be different. For some agricultural products, the processing process includes cleaning, cutting, crushing, baking and other steps, such as fresh vegetables, flour, steamed bread, bread and so on. Some agricultural products and milk are usually pasteurized and processed into fruit juice, vegetable juice and canned or bagged milk. Nuts can be roasted, chopped, or ground (for example, with peanut butter). For animals, the first step in processing is slaughter. Then, it can be cut into pieces or broken, smoked, cooked or frozen, or mixed with other ingredients to make sausages or main dishes, such as meat pies.
Examples of pollution in processing:
1. If the food is washed with contaminated water or packaged with contaminated packaging materials during processing, the pollution will spread to these foods, resulting in food safety problems.
2. In the slaughter process, if there are a large number of harmful microorganisms such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in the environment and slaughter tools, it will cause microbial pollution of meat products and food safety problems.
3. If bacteria contaminate the surfaces used for food processing, such as processing lines or storage boxes, the bacteria will spread to the foods that come into contact with these surfaces.
Food distribution
Distribution refers to the process of sending food from farms or processing plants to consumers, or to restaurants, cafeterias or hospital kitchens and other catering institutions. For example, pork, beef and chicken are transported from meat processing plants to supermarkets, food stores and so on.
Examples of pollution in distribution:
1. If the food that should be refrigerated is stored in a high temperature environment for a long time, it may produce bacteria and cause corruption.
2. If fresh agricultural products are loaded on unwashed trucks, these products will be polluted.
cook
Cooking refers to a way to finish the final processing of food, and it is the process of turning it into food that can be eaten directly. This step may occur in a restaurant, a family or a company canteen.
Examples of pollution in cooking:
1. If an employee involved in cooking is still working during his illness, or fails to wash his hands carefully after going to the toilet, he may spread bacteria through contact with food.
2. If a chef cuts raw chicken with a chopping board or a knife, and then cuts raw tomatoes and other vegetables or sauced beef with the same knife or chopping board without cleaning, it may pollute the bacteria in chicken, such as pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli or Salmonella.
3. The food eaten raw in the refrigerator may be contaminated with bacteria due to improper storage.
Food safety problems can occur in all aspects of food production, processing, storage, transportation and sales. To ensure food safety, we must manage it in the whole process of food production, which is what we often call "food safety management from field to table".

The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association is strongly dissatisfied with and resolutely opposed to the wrong approach announced by the US government to adjust aluminum import tariffs.
On February 10th, EDT, the US government announced that it would adjust the import tariff on steel and aluminum, resume the tariff on 232 steel and aluminum for global trading partners, and further increase the import tariff on aluminum products. Recently, the Federal Gazette published a tariff adjustment plan. China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association expressed strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition. The United States has seriously violated the basic principles of the WTO, such as fair trade and non-discrimination. The WTO has already ruled that the tariff measures of US steel and aluminum 232 violate WTO rules, and the US side has not corrected them, but has made repeated mistakes, which will seriously damage the rights and interests of all countries and seriously undermine the multilateral trading system based on rules.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 7th Title: Ensuring Fair and Reasonable Charges —— The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport responded to the adjustment of freight car toll charging method and vehicle classification.
Xinhua News Agency reporter Wei Yukun
According to the "Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of Toll Road System and Cancelling Provincial Toll Stations of Expressway" issued by the General Office of the State Council, from January 1, 2020, trucks will be uniformly charged vehicle tolls by vehicle (axle) type.
Why should we adjust the charging method? What changes have been made to the new vehicle classification standard? How to ensure that the charges are fair and reasonable? Wu Dejin, director of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, responded to this on the 7th.
Charging by car (axle) is intended to improve the transportation efficiency of trucks.
It is one of the tasks to cancel the provincial toll station of expressway to adjust the toll charging method and vehicle classification standard.
Wu Dejin said that at present, China’s expressways generally implement truck toll by weight, mainly to avoid the "big tons and small standards" of vehicles, and to curb overloading by economic means. However, due to the need to stop and weigh by weight, the traffic efficiency of toll stations and the promotion of truck ETC have been affected to some extent.
"With the continuous and in-depth promotion of overload control in China, serious illegal overloading of expressways has been effectively curbed. Under this circumstance, adjusting the charging method of trucks from weight-based charging to car (axle) charging is conducive to the installation and use of ETC for trucks, achieving fast traffic without stopping, and promoting the speed and efficiency of the logistics industry. " Wu Dejin said.
Is it fair to charge according to vehicle (axle) type for vehicles with different loading conditions? Wu Dejin said that it is a common practice in the world to charge trucks according to their axle type. On the premise of legal loading, trucks of the same axle, no matter how much they carry, occupy the same highway resources. It is scientific, fair and reasonable to collect tolls according to unified standards, which is conducive to promoting the intensive operation of highway freight industry and improving the actual load rate and transportation efficiency of highway transportation.
How to strengthen the overload management and ensure the safety of people and highway infrastructure after the freight car is changed to the car (axle) type?
Wu Dejin said that from January 1, 2020, all closed highway toll stations across the country will fully implement the weighing inspection of freight vehicles without stopping at the entrance, and completely prohibit illegal, overloaded and overloaded vehicles from entering the expressway to protect people’s lives and property and the safety of highway infrastructure.
Constructing a fair and reasonable charging system
At the beginning of June, the Ministry of Transport issued the revised transportation industry standard "Classification of Toll Vehicles on Toll Roads", which clarified that the classification limit value of Class 1 and Class 2 passenger cars was revised from the approved number of 7 passengers to 9 passengers and the vehicle length was less than 6 meters, and the category of special work vehicles was added. At the same time, it was clarified that trucks were classified according to the total axle number, vehicle length and total mass.
"After the implementation of the Classification of Toll Vehicles on Toll Roads, the toll charging standards for all buses do not need to be adjusted." Wu Dejin said that the revision of the standard is intended to further unify, standardize and improve the classification of toll road vehicles nationwide, promote the construction of a fair and reasonable toll road rate system, and improve traffic efficiency and toll road service level.
According to reports, for 8-seat and 9-seat minibuses with a length of less than 6 meters, vehicle tolls continue to be collected according to the existing vehicle classification standards; From January 1, 2020, the vehicle tolls will be collected uniformly according to Class 1 passenger cars, which is lower than the original charging standard.
"Existing ETC users who have changed their vehicle classification will carry out targeted services, replace ETC in-vehicle devices or adjust vehicle classification through directional notification and appointment installation." Wu Dejin said.
Wu Dejin said that at present, the toll collection systems and toll lanes are being upgraded in various places, and the toll collection standards for trucks are re-calculated according to the prescribed procedures, which will be uniformly implemented nationwide from January 1, 2020.
Ensure that the overall burden of truck tolls is not increased.
Wu Dejin said that to adjust the toll charging method and vehicle classification standards, it is necessary to ensure that the overall burden of truck tolls will not be increased under the same traffic flow conditions, and that the toll payable for each type of toll vehicle in the standard loading state is not greater than the toll payable for the original toll collection.
According to the notice jointly issued by the Ministry of Transport and other three departments recently on doing a good job in the adjustment of freight car toll charging methods, it is clear that for freight cars with more than six axles, on the basis of the charging coefficient of freight cars with six axles, a reasonable charging coefficient should be formulated by increasing a certain charging coefficient for each axle, so as to ensure that large transport vehicles with standard loads will not increase the toll due to the adjustment of charging methods.
Wu Dejin said that in order to ensure that the overall burden of freight car tolls will not be increased, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision over the adjustment of toll standards. In the process of adjusting the toll rate of trucks this year, the provincial transportation authorities shall, together with the price and financial departments, complete the preliminary examination of the charging standard and submit it to the Ministry of Transport in a timely manner. The Ministry of Transport will strengthen analysis and research with the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance, and strengthen guidance on relevant work in various places.
How to ensure the traffic efficiency of road network after the change of charging method? Wu Dejin said that provinces with obvious characteristics and big differences such as truck traffic flow direction will be encouraged to explore differentiated charges such as road sections, time periods, driving directions and specific entrances and exits, so as to further improve the traffic efficiency of expressway network.
"At present, we are comprehensively cleaning up and standardizing the local vehicle toll reduction and exemption policies, continuously promoting policy improvement, ensuring fair and reasonable fees, and completing the task of canceling the provincial toll stations of expressways as scheduled." Wu Dejin said.
Beijing, April 13 (Xinhua) According to the price department of the National Development and Reform Commission, since the beginning of this year, the relationship between supply and demand in the market has continued to improve, the overall price operation has been stable, and the upstream and downstream price trends have tended to be coordinated, reflecting the stable economic operation and new achievements in structural adjustment. The main performance is as follows:
First, the price increase in the consumer sector rebounded slightly, and the price of services rose slightly.
CPI rose slightly, continuing a moderate upward trend. In the first quarter, CPI rose by 2.1% year-on-year, 0.7 percentage points higher than the same period of last year, continuing the trend of moderate increase since last year. Among them, each month increased by 1.5%, 2.9% and 2.1% year-on-year, respectively, and the monthly increase fluctuated mainly due to weather, hikes, festivals and other factors, all within a reasonable range.
Service prices rose slightly faster, reflecting the accelerated pace of household consumption upgrading. In 2017, the service price rose by 3%, which exceeded food for the first time and became the main factor affecting the CPI increase. In the first quarter, service prices continued to rise, rising by 2.9% year-on-year, among which the prices of tourism, air tickets, medical care and family services rose by 4.1%, 5.7%, 6.0% and 5.4% respectively, reflecting the accelerated growth of residents’ demand for leisure tourism, medical care and other needs related to a better life.
Second, the price increase in the production sector has declined, and the upstream and downstream price trends tend to be coordinated.
In the first quarter, PPI rose by 3.7% year-on-year, 2.1 percentage points lower than that in the fourth quarter of last year, and the upward trend tended to be stable, in line with market expectations. With the decline of PPI increase, the "scissors difference" between upstream and downstream prices has narrowed sharply to 1.6 percentage points, and the trend tends to be coordinated, and the transmission pressure from upstream prices to downstream prices has obviously eased.
While the increase of PPI gradually fell back to a reasonable range, industrial production was stable and benefits continued to improve. In the first two months, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size actually increased by 7.2% year-on-year, and the profits increased by 16.1% year-on-year; At the end of February, the asset-liability ratio of industrial enterprises above designated size decreased by 0.8 percentage points year-on-year. This reflects that new industry development expectations, market order and the relationship between supply and demand are taking shape, and remarkable results have been achieved in reducing production capacity, adjusting structure and improving supply quality.
Third, the key commodity market is well supplied and the price runs in a reasonable range.
In the first two months, in the field of living materials, the output of household refrigerators and washing machines was 11.829 million and 11.006 million respectively; In the field of means of production, the output of raw coal, crude steel and cement is 516 million tons, 137 million tons and 220 million tons respectively. Compared with the same period of last year, it has increased to varying degrees.
The comprehensive average price of four kinds of steel products (rebar, wire rod, medium plate and cold rolled sheet), the price of Qinhuangdao 5,500 kcal thermal coal and the price of composite portland cement (grade 32.5) in the main market are about 4,200 yuan, 585 yuan and 380 yuan respectively, which is lower than that at the beginning of the year. The prices of grain and edible vegetable oil remained generally stable, the prices of vegetables were seasonally adjusted back, and the prices of live pigs fell periodically.
Fourth, the market is expected to be generally stable and the price order is stable and standardized.
From the market expectation, it is generally believed that the current prices are generally stable, and it is expected that the stable trend will continue during the year, and CPI and PPI will operate in a moderate range throughout the year. In response to the year-on-year increase in CPI in February due to holidays, Zhejiang, Tianjin and other places started the linkage mechanism of price subsidies in time, and issued temporary price subsidies, which stabilized the basic life of people in need.
Judging from the price reports, in the first quarter, producers’ production was stable, operators’ operations were orderly, consumers’ consumption was rational, and the market price order was generally standardized. The number of price reports and complaints decreased by about 18% year-on-year.
Recently, the domestic and international environment is complex and changeable, and there are some uncertain factors in the price operation, but generally speaking, the price will remain stable. From the macro-environment, China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, macro-control policies have maintained continuity and stability, and the total supply and demand relationship is relatively stable; From the perspective of market supply, China’s grain production has been bumper year after year, the planting area of oil crops has increased steadily, the production capacity of pigs is at a high level, and the inventory level of grain and oil in the whole society is high; The production capacity of industrial consumer goods is sufficient and the market competition is sufficient; The service industry is developing rapidly, and the supply capacity is constantly improving, which has a solid foundation for maintaining the stable operation of prices.
On April 16th, Baidu held the Create 2024 Baidu AI Developer Conference. Many guests including Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, gave speeches on the stage and shared the latest technological progress of Baidu in the AI field with developers all over the world.
Everyone is a developer.
Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, delivered a speech on the topic of "Everyone is a developer", which brought a powerful basic model series and three AI development tools to developers around the world, and formed a toolbox to support developers to pack and take away. Li Yanhong said that in the future, natural language will become a new general programming language. As long as you can speak, you can become a developer and change the world with your creativity.
Powerful basic model series, that is, Wenxin big model series, include: flagship versions of ERNIE3.5 and 4.0, and lightweight versions of ERNIE Speed, Lite, Tiny, etc. At the scene, Li Yanhong also officially released the tool version of Wenxin Big Model 4.0. Since ERNIE Bot was released more than a year ago, the number of users has exceeded 200 million. At present, Wenxin Big Model has become the most advanced and widely used AI basic model in China.
Three "out-of-the-box" AI development tools, including AgentBuilder, AI native application development tool AppBuilder, and ModelBuilder of various sizes. Li Yanhong said, "Today, you can make an AI application without writing code; You can make an agent without programming. "
In terms of specific ideas for developing AI native applications, Li Yanhong pointed out that MoE, small model and agent are three directions worthy of attention. "This is what Baidu has paid for by stepping on countless pits and paying high tuition fees according to the practice of the past year."
Speaking of open source and closed source, Li Yanhong emphasized, "Everyone used to think that open source is cheap. In fact, in the big model scenario, open source is the most expensive. So the open source model will become more and more backward. "
In addition to developing tools, Li Yanhong also brought financial and resource support to developers. At the conference site, Li Yanhong announced that the second "Wenxin Cup" Entrepreneurship Competition was officially launched, recruiting entrepreneurial innovation teams in the direction of AI native application for global markets and college students, and setting up a "special award". He said, "Particularly excellent projects will have the opportunity to get 50 million yuan in cash and resources support."
New progress of Wenxin big model: agent, code and multi-model
Wang Haifeng, chief technology officer of Baidu, gave a speech on the topic of "Building the Foundation with Technology, Brilliant Milky Way", and interpreted the key technologies and latest progress of many large-scale models of Wenxin, such as agent, code and multi-model. Wang Haifeng said that agent is an important development direction, which will bring more applications. Based on the basic model, the agent further carries out thinking enhancement training, including supervised fine tuning of thinking process, preference learning of behavior decision-making, and enhanced learning of result reflection, and then gets the thinking model. The thinking model of an agent, like a human being, can read the instructions, learn how to use tools, and then call tools to complete tasks.
From the trillion-dollar training data, Wenxin Big Model not only learned the ability of natural language, but also learned the ability of code, and opened up the process from thinking to execution. Based on these two capabilities of Wenxin Big Model, Baidu developed a code agent and an intelligent code assistant. Wang Haifeng said: "The code agent allows everyone to do what only programmers can do before, and everyone can become a programmer; Intelligent code assistants help professional programmers to write better code more efficiently, which can be said to be programmers’ AI peers. "
Wang Haifeng also shared the multi-model technology. He said that the effect, efficiency and cost are very important in the process of large-scale model application. In practical application, it is necessary to choose the most suitable model from the needs of the scene. On the one hand, it is efficient and low-cost model production; On the other hand, it is multi-model reasoning.
The sustained and rapid evolution of Wenxin model benefits from Baidu’s full-stack layout of chips, frameworks, models and applications, especially the joint optimization of the flying paddle deep learning platform and Wenxin. The weekly average training efficiency of Wenxin Big Model reached 98.8%, which was 5.1 times higher than that when it was released by ERNIE Bot a year ago, and the reasoning efficiency was 105 times. Up to now, Flying Paddle Wenxin Ecology has gathered 12.95 million developers, served 244,000 enterprises and institutions, and created 895,000 models based on Flying Paddle and Wenxin.
Released by Baidu AI Cloud
Wanyuan, a New Generation Intelligent Computing Operating System
Shen Yao, executive vice president of Baidu Group and president of Baidu AI Cloud Business Group, officially released Wanyuan, a new generation of intelligent computing operating system. By abstracting and encapsulating the intelligent computing platform in the AI native era, it shielded the complexity of cloud native system and heterogeneous computing power for users and improved the efficiency and experience of AI native application development.
Shen Shayi said that with the continuous evolution of large-scale model technology, programming through natural language is becoming a reality. Programming will no longer be process-oriented or object-oriented, but demand-oriented; The process of programming will become a process for developers to express their wishes and bring revolutionary changes to the operating system. In the kernel of the operating system, the underlying hardware has changed from CPU-based computing power to GPU-based computing power, and the world knowledge compressed by large models has been added. The object of operating system management has undergone essential changes, from managing processes and micro-services to managing intelligence.
"The traditional cloud computing system is still important, but it is no longer the protagonist. We need a brand-new operating system to abstract and encapsulate the new computing platform, that is, intelligent computing, and redefine human-computer interaction to provide developers with a simpler and smoother development experience." Shen Yao said.
All along, Baidu and Intel have maintained close cooperation in infrastructure, providing customers with mature solutions in the cloud, edge and end. Chen Baoli, vice president of Intel Data Center and Artificial Intelligence Group and general manager of China, said that AI is one of the core strategies of Intel’s development, and the company is currently integrating AI into its overall product portfolio. Baidu is one of Intel’s important partners. In the original era of AI, we look forward to the cooperation between Baidu and Intel, which will bring the positive impact of intelligent computing to thousands of industries.
Agent: Creating the Original Future of AI
He Junjie, senior vice president of Baidu Group and general manager of Baidu Mobile Ecological Business Group, delivered a keynote speech on "Agent: Creating the Original Future of AI". He Junjie said that agents will reshape the way people interact with technology and bring new application ecology, traffic pattern and business model. Baidu mobile ecology is not only a hot spot for the growth of large-scale model applications, but also the head of the wave of agents.

Open the software, set the avatar and nickname, and you can create WeChat conversations, transfer records and even screenshots of friends — — In online search engines and mobile app stores, chat record generation tools such as "WeChat conversation generator" and "QQ conversation generator" spread wildly. These confusing gadgets are not only used by Wechat business to deceive consumers, but also provide convenience for criminals to forge screenshots to manipulate public opinion.
Experts said that making false screenshots will cause trouble on the Internet and disrupt social order, and those with serious circumstances will face criminal punishment. Software publishers who fail to remain neutral and encourage, abet and add fuel to the flames in the process of dissemination will also be regarded as accomplices and bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
Case: False screenshots spread rumors
A few days ago, Weibo, a child suspected of being sexually assaulted in an orphanage in Guizhou, detonated the network, arousing public anger.
According to the poster, in Bijie, Kaili and other places in Guizhou Province, young children in welfare homes and kindergartens for left-behind children were sexually assaulted. However, Guizhou public security investigation found that the so-called photos of "underage children being sexually assaulted" spread on the Internet were all forged after the poster collected them from the Internet, and the whole incident was fabricated.
Why does an unfounded rumor convince many netizens? This is inseparable from the poster’s fictional WeChat chat record. In the screenshot, a chatterbox said that it is "a business" to spend 100,000 yuan on this matter every year. Another screenshot shows that the suspected "windmill kindergarten" staff member "Chen Likun" and another person are talking about injecting hormones into young children.
As a result, the detailed and realistic chat record has become a "sharp weapon" for spreading rumors.
"There are avatars and transfer records on it, and even the WiFi signal is clearly displayed, exactly the same as my WeChat page!" After the rumor incident in Guizhou was officially rumored, some netizens pointed out that the chat record generation tool condoned evil and confused people. "Who would have thought that even chat records could be faked?"
After searching for public information, the reporter found that the use of forged screenshots of chat records to spread online rumors and manipulate public opinion has occurred many times before. Screenshots of chat records with "pictures and truth" have captured the curiosity of many netizens and the herd mentality of "believing in it or not", which has become one of the carriers of online rumors.
Test: A record is released in 67 seconds.
Compared with the uproar caused by using fake dialogue records to create rumors, the low cost of fraud is unimaginable. As long as it takes 67 seconds and 90 yuan money, you can make a fake record exactly like the online rumor.
Although the official has warned that the screenshot record is not credible in multiple channels, both Apple and Android platforms can find a large number of apps with the function of "chat record generation". After downloading one of the "Dialogue Generator" softwares, the reporter found that it can make multiple functional pages such as WeChat chat, group chat, transfer, change, red envelope, video chat, circle of friends and so on, and can also make Alipay transfer records.
Subsequently, the reporter took a fake screen shot that was popular on the Internet as an example, and uploaded five conversation records, a photo and the heads of both sides of the conversation. It took only 67 seconds from setting the avatar and creating the nickname to the final fake screenshot of WeChat.
In addition to the fake text and picture dialogue, even the system prompts such as sending and receiving red envelopes and adding friends can be faked, and even a fake screen shot of transferring 100 million yuan a day can be made under the condition that the real WeChat transfer limit is 200,000 yuan a day. Some software can also edit the operator, WiFi signal, battery power, time and other information in the mobile phone status bar at will.
An Internet source said that there were a lot of such tools around 2015. At the beginning, most users were Wechat business, marketing number, etc., and most of them were free software. However, the reporter found that these apps are basically charging now, forming a "gray industry" with unclear legal definition at present. For example, in the dialogue generator, the page generated by the reporter has a watermark, and only those who pay for the package can remove the watermark and make the screenshot "more real". The cheapest package is 3-month 90 yuan, and the permanent membership package is 328 yuan, which will be used until 2029.
So, how much are these apps used? Take the existing apps in APPle App Store as an example. The most popular "Wechat business Screenshot King" software has as many as 11,000 ratings and comments, and the least is 1,760.
Wechat business Xiaoai, who runs a "private cake" in a circle of friends, told reporters that she had exposed many fake screenshots. "When I first opened the business, no one bought it. I made a few screenshots of transferring money and praising the delicious cake every three to five times, which was quite attractive." Xiao Ai said that it is the "convention" of Wechat business industry to attract customers with false records.
Vigilance: encouraging crime to bear legal responsibility
"The illegal behaviors caused by forging screenshots of chat records can be mainly divided into two categories." Hu Gang, Deputy Secretary-General of the Legal Work Committee of internet society of china, said that one kind is for business purposes, for example, Wechat business made false chat and transfer records and sent them to friends for advertising. "This behavior is suspected of false propaganda, which not only violates consumers’ right to know, but also disrupts fair market order."
Hu Gang said that what is more serious is the behavior of individual criminals who forge screenshots of chat records to create topics on the Internet, stir up trouble and disrupt social order in order to gain attention or vent their feelings.
"In the past, people always said that seeing is believing, so the majority of netizens were less alert to the rumors of chat recording. But with the current information technology, even dynamic video fraud is easy. " Hu Gang said that once public opinion is used, it may have serious consequences. This requires relevant departments to launch effective new measures in a timely manner, and also requires netizens to raise their awareness of vigilance and not be credulous or blindly obedient.
In addition, although this kind of software claims that it is only used by netizens for entertainment, you can clearly see some leading words such as "Wechat business must have" and "Wechat business marketing tool" on the software promotion page. "This means that it has entered the category of network gray production." In the opinion of experts, if a software publisher can’t maintain enough neutrality, but encourages, abets and fuels illegal activities in the process of communication, it will be regarded as an accomplice and bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

China CDC Weekly recently released a survey on hand-foot-mouth disease virus, and Coxsackie virus A6 has become the main pathogen leading to severe cases of hand-foot-mouth disease in China. At present, Coxsackie virus A6 associated with severe hand, foot and mouth disease is evolving, and there is a risk of outbreak.
According to the research team, hand, foot and mouth disease is an infectious disease mainly caused by a variety of enteroviruses, which mainly affects infants and children. The symptoms are usually fever, oral ulcers and rashes, and the symptoms are generally mild and relieved within 7 to 10 days. However, some severe cases may have life-threatening neurological, respiratory or circulatory complications. Previously, enterovirus A71 was the main pathogen causing severe cases of hand, foot and mouth disease.
In 2016, inactivated enterovirus A71 vaccine was widely used, which significantly reduced the incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease caused by the virus. However, due to the lack of cross-protection between different enterovirus serotypes, the diversity of pathogens of severe hand, foot and mouth disease has changed.
According to the national laboratory monitoring network of hand, foot and mouth disease pathogens, the research team investigated the severe cases of hand, foot and mouth disease in China from 2012 to 2023, and obtained 74 strains of coxsackie virus A6 for analysis, and concluded that coxsackie virus A6 has become the main pathogen leading to severe cases of hand, foot and mouth disease in China. In addition, the virus related to severe hand, foot and mouth disease is evolving and there is a risk of outbreak. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of severe hand, foot and mouth disease.
Among 74 severe cases of hand, foot and mouth disease related to coxsackie virus A6, 48 cases were male and 26 cases were female. The average age is about 2 years old, including 25 children under 1 year old, 26 children between 1 and 5 years old and 3 children over 5 years old. The research team said that the immune system of severe cases of hand, foot and mouth disease under 5 years old is immature, and if it cannot be diagnosed and treated in time, it may increase susceptibility and lead to serious complications and potentially fatal consequences. Therefore, the development of coxsackie virus A6 vaccine is very important to prevent severe hand, foot and mouth disease in susceptible children.
A little more news.
How is hand, foot and mouth disease spread?
Patients and recessive infected people are the sources of infection of hand, foot and mouth disease, and the proportion of recessive infection is large. Patients are contagious before onset, usually within 1 week after onset.
The route of transmission is diverse and easy to realize. The main mode of transmission is close contact, and infection is caused by direct contact with patients’ feces, herpes fluid, nasopharyngeal secretions and saliva, and contact with contaminated hands, towels, handkerchiefs, toothcups, toys, tableware, bottles, bedding and other items or environment. It can also spread through respiratory droplets, such as coughing and sneezing; Drinking or eating water and food contaminated by virus can also be infected.
How to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease?
(1) Avoid contact with children. Try not to hug, share toys, share tableware, toiletries, etc. with children to prevent cross infection.
(2) Maintain hand hygiene. Good hand hygiene is an effective measure to prevent hand, foot and mouth disease. Children should clean their hands after touching public goods, after going out to play, before eating, after going to the toilet, and after parents and caregivers go home, before processing food, after changing diapers or handling items contaminated by feces. Usually, you can wash your hands with soapy water or hand sanitizer. After contacting patients and pollutants, you should choose a chlorine-containing disinfectant with appropriate concentration to wash your hands.
(3) reduce aggregation. Crowd gathering and frequent contact are easy to spread hand, foot and mouth disease. It is suggested that children should not be taken to public places with crowded people and poor air circulation during the epidemic period of hand, foot and mouth disease.
(4) The environment is ventilated. Closed public places and rooms should be ventilated frequently to maintain air circulation.
(5) Cleaning and disinfection. Regular cleaning and disinfection of frequent contact parts, daily necessities and children’s toys; Milk utensils, tableware, etc. should be boiled and disinfected; Clothes and bedding are often dried in the sun or disinfected by ultraviolet light.
(6) vaccination. Although EV-A71 vaccine can not prevent other enterovirus infections, it can effectively prevent hand, foot and mouth disease and other related diseases caused by EV-A71 infection, and reduce the occurrence of severe hand, foot and mouth disease and death. In order to play a protective role as early as possible, children are encouraged to complete the whole vaccination before the age of 12 months. Vaccination is not recommended for children over 5 years old.

1905 movie network news On September 6, the film released the "Mission" version of the preview. In the trailer, Jason Wu, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Yi, Jing Bo Ran, Hugh and other China mountaineering teams launched a sprint and challenge to the summit of Mount Everest. Although the road encountered sudden natural disasters such as avalanches and strong winds, the climbing team still fought with flesh and blood and dangers to defend the country’s territory and sovereignty to the death. This time, producer Tsui Hark and director Li Rengang once again joined forces to create an audio-visual feast of the wonders of the oriental snow area with the help of the top visual effects in the industry. The film will be released nationwide on September 30th this year.
Fang Wuzhou returned to mountaineering training camp
The "mission" version of the preview reveals that the climbing alliance shoulders love and faith.
A few days ago, the movie The Climbers released a trailer for the "Mission" version. At the beginning of the trailer, the question "Why do people climb mountains" led to the ultimate mission of "China people should climb their own mountains". The film The Climbers story is adapted from the true historical fact that the China mountaineering team climbed Mount Everest twice, which shows the feat that the China mountaineering team achieved the first summit of Mount Everest from the northern slope. At the critical moment of the territorial sovereignty dispute of Mount Everest, two generations of climbing teams shouldered the heavy responsibility of reaching the top of Mount Everest and surveyed the "China Height" belonging to China people.
Through the study and understanding of historical background materials in the early stage, Jason Wu, the starring actor, could not help but sigh with emotion: "The heroic deeds and spirit of the predecessors of the China mountaineering team in 60 and 75 have also become the driving force for us to encounter various problems and difficulties in shooting, which made me deeply understand the hardships of China climbers and stop at the top of the mountain." As Zhang Ziyi, who plays meteorologist Xu Ying in the film, on the one hand, she has to assist the mountaineering team to pay attention to the weather warning, and on the other hand, she is concerned about Fang Wuzhou’s climbing action. She said: "Xu Ying joined the mountaineering team after studying abroad and devoted himself to the research of high-altitude meteorology. On the one hand, she made contributions to the motherland, and at the same time she wanted to accompany Fang Wuzhou and contribute to his safe return." As a member of the 60-year climbing team in the film, Zhang Yi also said: "When everyone climbs Mount Everest together, they give their lives to each other. This purest friendship between comrades is unimaginable to ordinary people."
Li Guoliang volunteered to lead a team to climb the mountain.
The crisis of climbing the peak is imminent, and the wonders of the eastern snow area are beginning to show their true colors.
In the trailer released this time, Fang Wuzhou (Jason Wu) lifts his teammates, Xu Ying (Zhang Ziyi) conveys meteorological information to the climbers against the snow, Qu Songlin (Zhang Yi) collides with Fang Wuzhou, Li Guoliang (Jing Bo Ran) slides down from the snow-capped mountain rapidly, and Yang Guang (Hugh) crosses the ice crack, etc., showing the dangers and difficulties of China mountaineering team in the process of reaching the top of Mount Everest.
The films directed by producer Tsui Hark and director Li Rengang in the past have made their own achievements in visual effects production, which often make the audience feel refreshed. This time, the two men once again joined forces to create The Climbers, which will refresh the scale of their previous works in terms of production specifications and shooting difficulty. Producer Xu Ke said: "In order to restore the magnificent wonders of Mount Everest, we will use the top visual effects in the industry to create a snowy wonder with oriental colors." Director Li Rengang also said: "The proportion of snow-capped mountains in the film is very large. Many shots need the help of computer special effects, combined with the shots taken in the real scene of Mount Everest and a large number of aerial photography materials, to restore the wonders of the world’s highest peak in the snowy area and create an immersive reality for the audience."
The film The Climbers is produced by Tsui Hark and Zeng Peishan, written and directed by Li Rengang, written by Alai, starring Jason Wu, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Yi, Jing Bo Ran, Hugh, Wang Jingchun, He Lin, Chen Long, Liu Xiaofeng, Qu Nitsering, Lavang Rob and Dobujie, with Jackie Chan as a friend. The film will be released nationwide on September 30th.
