Kang Zhensheng: Determined to make China’s agricultural scientific research achievements "go abroad" after more than 30 years of wheat disease research.

CCTV News:In Yangling, Shaanxi, the birthplace of Chinese farming civilization, there is such a scientific researcher: he has been rooted in the northwest for more than 30 years and stuck to the yellow land. He is not a farmer, but better than a farmer.

He carried out research on the occurrence law and comprehensive control of wheat stripe rust, revealed the pathogenic variation path and mechanism of wheat stripe rust, made clear the causes of the prone areas of wheat stripe rust in summer in China, improved the understanding of the epidemic system of wheat stripe rust, and provided theoretical basis for comprehensive control of wheat stripe rust in China. The comprehensive control technology system of stripe rust in the prone areas in summer in China was constructed, and remarkable results were achieved through demonstration and application promotion, which effectively controlled stripe rust in China. The infection route and pathogenic mechanism of wheat scab were revealed, and the key period of disease prevention and control was determined, which provided theoretical basis and technical support for the prevention and control of wheat scab.

"Wheat stripe rust and scab are major biological disasters that affect China’s food security and food safety. I came out of a wheat field, and my career is in a wheat field. " He is Kang Zhensheng, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, distinguished professor, a Changjiang scholar of the Ministry of Education, a doctoral supervisor, and the director of the State Key Laboratory of Crop Stress Biology in Arid Areas. In the research building of Northwest A&F University, CCTV reporter met Professor Kang Zhensheng and listened to him tell his own research story.

Germinate the long-cherished wish of "relying on science to help agriculture increase production and income"

Kang Zhensheng was born in Anyue, Sichuan in 1957. He was a famous "good student" from primary school to high school. In 1981, Kang Zhensheng became the first graduate student of the school after the reform of the enrollment system with excellent results and the first place in the graduation thesis grade. Kang Zhensheng, who was born in a farmer’s family, witnessed the huge losses caused by stripe rust to wheat production. His character of not being afraid of difficulties and being brave in exploration also made Kang Zhensheng sprout his long-cherished wish of relying on science to help agriculture increase production and income in the vast fields.

He began his research career under the guidance of Professor Li Zhenqi, a famous plant pathologist in China. Under the leadership of Li Zhenqi, Kang Zhensheng visited the key areas where wheat stripe rust occurred in Longnan, Longdong and Guanzhong of Shaanxi Province for many times.

Through intensive investigation and repeated demonstration, they first discovered a new pathogenic strain of stripe rust, which seriously harmed the main wheat varieties in China, from thousands of analysis materials and infected wheat plants through a large number of analysis experiments and field inoculation, and made an accurate prediction on the development trend and harm of this strain. The prevention and control strategies and solutions put forward were adopted by agricultural production departments, which played an important guiding role in preventing and reducing the harm of wheat stripe rust. This achievement won the third prize of scientific and technological progress in Shaanxi Province in 1987.

Become a conqueror of "wheat cancer"

Wheat stripe rust, known as "wheat cancer", is a low-temperature fungal disease spread through the air, and it is one of the main public enemies of wheat production in the world, which often reduces wheat production by 10% to 30%, and even leads to wheat failure in serious cases.

For many years, Kang Zhensheng led the team to focus on the interaction between pathogenic fungi and host wheat, and to find out what caused the frequent changes of wheat stripe rust from the aspects of histology, cytology, molecular cytology and molecular biology.

In order to find out the species of Berberis in the over-summer area of wheat stripe rust, Kang Zhensheng led his team members to travel all over the ravines of Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, and insisted on investigating the occurrence of wheat stripe rust. After a lot of field follow-up research, he sought the evidence that wheat stripe rust camped on Berberis in natural conditions and carried out experiments by using advanced scientific and technological means, and finally obtained a major discovery: sexual reproduction is the main pathogenic variation of wheat stripe rust in China. Wheat stripe rust is widely distributed in shrub leaves in northwest mountainous areas — — "Having children" on wild Berberis makes a new generation of germs become the "killer" of wheat varieties. On August 26, 2017, the research results were published in the top international academic journal Annual Review of Plant Pathology, which attracted wide attention at home and abroad.

Kang Zhensheng’s team established a technical system for forecasting wheat stripe rust in different places, and the accuracy of disease prediction was over 90%. The control technology system of "over-summer variable area" was established by taking measures such as crop structure adjustment, distribution of disease-resistant varieties, seed dressing with chemicals, winter spore isolation and Berberis treatment, which reduced the initial bacterial source of "over-summer variable area" by 40%, reduced the frequency of new races by 50% and extended the service life of disease-resistant varieties by 3-5 years, which played a key role in the effective control of stripe rust in China.

The research results benefit many countries and regions in the Belt and Road Initiative.

Wheat stripe rust is a serious biological disaster that affects the global wheat production safety for a long time. As the main academic leader of plant pathology in China, Kang Zhensheng led his team to make outstanding contributions to the research on the occurrence regularity, pathogenic mechanism and control technology of major diseases such as wheat stripe rust and scab. Kang Zhensheng promoted the establishment of "China Wheat Stripe Rust Germ Base Comprehensive Control Technology System", which was applied in 12 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China, reducing the occurrence area of stripe rust by 50%, recovering more than 2 billion kilograms of grain losses every year, and increasing income and reducing expenditure by 4 billion yuan annually.

Since the "Belt and Road Initiative" was put forward, Kang Zhensheng’s team has successively cooperated with more than 10 countries and regions, including Kazakstan, Turkish and Ethiopian, collected and studied more than 1,300 standard samples of wheat stripe rust pathogens, and made China’s agricultural scientific research achievements with high quality and high yield of wheat "go abroad".

Today, Kang Zhensheng is still busy, but what he considers most now is to train young people, let them stand on their shoulders and grow up as soon as possible. "The work of revealing the genetic and molecular mechanism of virulence variation of Puccinia striiformis has just begun. In the future, while engaging in scientific research, we should train the young people behind us so that our agricultural science and technology can really run from the past to the leading stage."

Is the "Today’s Headline" brought to court "Today’s Fried Bread" an infringement? Lawyer’s detailed explanation

  With today’s headlines, can there be "today’s fried dough sticks" and "today’s noodles"? Recently, this issue has caused netizens to watch. Today’s fried dough sticks company in Henan has designed a storefront that is highly similar to today’s headline LOGO and its APP interface, and a slogan similar to today’s headline "You care about the headline": "You care about you is a good fried dough sticks", and the business looks good.

  However, the announcement of Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court recently showed that Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd., to which today’s headline belongs, took "Today’s fried dough sticks" to court.

  Does today’s fried dough sticks constitute infringement? What is trademark infringement? What punishment will "today’s fried dough sticks" face once they are convicted of infringement? Please see the lawyer for a detailed explanation.

  Can "Today’s Headline" Trademark be Cross-protected?

  According to the enterprise survey data, today’s fried dough sticks catering management Co., Ltd. was established on May 13 this year with a registered capital of 1 million yuan. In addition to the "Today’s fried dough sticks" signboard, today’s fried dough sticks company applied for 16 trademarks such as today’s noodles, many cakes, instant cakes and tomorrow’s fried dough sticks in the categories of food, catering accommodation and convenience food. However, the above trademark applications are in a state of "waiting for substantive examination" and have not been successfully registered at present.

  China’s trademark law stipulates that using a trademark similar to its registered trademark on the same commodity or using a trademark identical to or similar to its registered trademark on similar commodities without the permission of the trademark registrant is likely to lead to confusion, which is an infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark.

  The reporter noted that although ByteDance Company also registered the "Today’s Headline" trademark in the international classification "Class 43", the sub-item is "Day Nursery (babysitting); Animal foster care; Blankets for rent. " The trademark "Today’s Headline" registered in such sub-projects as "restaurants, teahouses and cafes" has passed the preliminary examination under the name of "Xia Rong (Shanghai) Catering Management Co., Ltd.". Therefore, "Today’s Headline" does not actually have the prior right of the trademark of the restaurant category, and whether the "Today’s Headline" trademark of the information technology category can be protected to the catering category will become the key.

  Huang Hui, an intellectual property partner of Wanhuida, believes that now is the era of attention economy, and today’s deep-fried dough-strips company is still applying for quick cakes and lots of cakes. In fact, they all want to take a shortcut and hitchhike and should not be encouraged. "This is obviously a free ride by taking advantage of other people’s market reputation." Huang Hui believes that the word "today’s headline" itself is relatively weak, because "today" and "headline" are the daily language of news media, but combined with the special graphic expression, according to the judicial interpretation of protecting well-known trademarks in China, today’s headlines may still be protected by well-known trademarks.

  Wu Xinhua, a senior partner of Beijing Weiheng Law Firm and director of the intellectual property department, also said that "Today’s Headline" itself is a word combination with weak distinctiveness, but it has gained high popularity and is well known by the relevant public after being widely used and publicized by ByteDance Company in recent years. However, whether it can be protected as a well-known trademark depends on the trial of Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court.

  Main identification elements of trademark infringement

  The cross-border imitation of "today’s fried dough sticks" is not unusual. Around well-known enterprises, "trademark imitation show" is often staged. Then, in judicial practice, how to identify trademark infringement? As long as the names are close, is it infringement?

  The reporter noticed that there is a ready-made case that is very close to today’s fried dough sticks, which can be used to illustrate.

  Pinduoduo, a well-known e-commerce platform, has been ridiculed by many people as "fighting for the evening". In November 2017, Shanghai Shita Information Technology Co., Ltd. registered the trademark "Pinxixi", and launched the website "Pinxixi Mall", WeChat WeChat official account and the mobile phone software "Pinxixi". On the "Pinxi Shopping Mall", there are also columns such as time-limited spike, quality fruit, half-day arrival, spelling love, 9 yuan and 9 special sales, and even imitating Pinduoduo’s advertising slogan: "Shopping APP that 100 million people are fighting for".

  In 2018, Pinduoduo’s Shanghai Dream Search Technology Co., Ltd. sued Shanghai Shita Information Technology Co., Ltd. to the court on the grounds of trademark infringement and unfair competition.

  The court’s first-instance judgment clearly stated that the central part of the two trademarks is Chinese "spelling". Observing the trademarks of the two brands with the general attention of the relevant public, the overall structure is similar, and it is easier for the relevant public to use Chinese "spelling" as the calling keyword when identifying the two brands. In addition, Pinduoduo’s trademarks are well-known and prominent. When the relevant public identifies the accused logo in isolation, it is easy to misunderstand the service source. Therefore, the court ruled that the two trademarks constitute similar trademarks, and the use of the accused logo by Shita Company infringed the exclusive right to use the trademark enjoyed by Dream Search Company.

  It can be seen from the court’s judgment that the key to trademark infringement lies in whether the main identification elements will cause misidentification.

  "Specific to this case, the design of the scarlet letter in today’s headline box is its unique logo, and its popularity is high. Today, the attempt to imitate the use of fritters is obvious." Huang Hui analyzed, "When the court identifies a well-known trademark, it should combine the specific pattern to identify it."

  In other words, whether today’s fried dough sticks or today’s noodles are suspected of hitchhiking on today’s headlines, as for today’s fried dough sticks, highlighting the word "fried dough sticks" in the form of oblique red frame and white background in the trademark, highly imitating the trademark and propaganda slogan of today’s headlines, and the intention of creating associations is very obvious, which is likely to infringe on the exclusive right to use trademarks enjoyed by ByteDance.

  "China’s trademark law stipulates that applying for trademark registration shall not damage the existing prior rights of others, nor shall it preemptively register trademarks that others have used and have certain influence by unfair means. In addition, for well-known trademarks registered by others, the trademark law gives cross-class protection under certain conditions. " Wu Xinhua said, "ByteDance can object to the trademark of today’s fried dough sticks in accordance with the law during the announcement period of preliminary examination. If it is a registered trademark, you can file an application for invalidation. "

  "Bangda Brand" can be fined up to 5 million yuan.

  Regarding his trademark registration, the person in charge of today’s fried dough sticks company explained: "I brush today’s headline APP every day, and I am a loyal user, ‘ Next to the big name ’ Just for fun. " The company also issued an "open letter", saying that it should take headlines as an example and be a favorite breakfast brand for ordinary people.

  "If the report is true, the words of the person in charge of today’s fried dough sticks company just show his subjective intention, which will be unfavorable to the enterprise in determining the facts of the case." Wu Xinhua believes.

  According to the trademark law, the infringer usually has to bear the responsibility of stopping the infringement, and the perpetrator who knows or should know that it is an infringement also has to bear the responsibility of compensation. If the circumstances are serious, they shall also bear criminal responsibility.

  In recent years, China’s protection of intellectual property rights, including trademarks, has been increasing. In April 2019, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) revised the Trademark Law to increase the punishment for infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark. The revised terms increased the amount of compensation for malicious infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark from more than one time to less than three times to more than one time to less than five times, and raised the upper limit of legal compensation from 3 million yuan to 5 million yuan. The revised terms came into effect on November 1, 2019.

  "Operators must enhance their awareness of intellectual property rights and respect the prior trademark rights and interests of others, ‘ Next to the big name ’ It’ s cool for a while, and there are two lines of tears after the calculation. Malicious infringement of the exclusive right to use registered trademarks of others will be severely punished by law. " Wu Xinhua reminded, "In addition, the Anti-Unfair Competition Law stipulates that it is forbidden to use the same or similar marks such as commodity names, packaging and decoration that have certain influence on others without authorization. Today, the font pattern used by the fritters company on the storefront signboard is very similar to today’s headline trademark, and it is also suspected of violating the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.

Four film market industry forums talk about China film spring.

China film craftsman’s pulse."core" Inject rationality into content selection with big data

 

one

In the past development of the film market,The standard of IP value evaluation has always been vague and lacks data rationality. With the rapid development of box office in China, the channel bonus brought by screen expansion is weakening, and the content has officially become the first driving force of box office. As a new topic, IP has been paid more and more attention.

 

At the event, curator Sun Xianghuiworkwatch from a height or distancewithThe lecture on the theme of "Audience Satisfaction and New Market Momentum" introduced the data analysis report of "China Film Audience Satisfaction Survey" from 2015 to 2017, and made a survey and summary from three dimensions: ornamental index, ideological index and communication degree.

Eight patients with viral pneumonia were initially identified as novel coronavirus.

  Cctv newsThe reporter learned from the Wuhan Municipal Health and Wellness Commission that yesterday (8th), eight patients with unexplained viral pneumonia in Wuhan, Hubei Province were cured and discharged. It is understood that these eight patients were treated in relevant hospitals in Wuhan before, and then they were all concentrated in Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan. After diagnosis and treatment by medical institutions, these 8 patients have had no clinical manifestations such as fever and pneumonia for several days. After being diagnosed by clinical experts, they met the discharge standards and have all been discharged.

  Preliminary progress has been made in pathogen identification

  With regard to the progress of etiological identification of viral pneumonia with unknown causes in Wuhan, the reporter learned today (9th) from the expert group on preliminary evaluation of pathogen detection results that as of 21: 00 on January 7th, 2020, a novel coronavirus was detected in the laboratory, and the whole genome sequence of the virus was obtained. By nucleic acid detection, 15 cases were found to be novel coronavirus positive, and the virus was isolated from a positive patient sample, showing a typical coronavirus morphology under the electron microscope.

  The expert group believes that the pathogen of this unexplained viral pneumonia case was initially determined to be novel coronavirus. The laboratory used genome sequencing, nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and other methods to detect the etiology of patients’ alveolar lavage fluid, throat swab, blood and other samples.

  Coronavirus is a kind of pathogen that mainly causes respiratory and intestinal diseases. There are many regularly arranged protrusions on the surface of this kind of virus particles, and the whole virus particle is like a crown of an emperor, hence the name "coronavirus". Besides humans, coronavirus can also infect many mammals such as pigs, cows, cats, dogs, minks, camels, bats, mice, hedgehogs and many birds.

  So far, there are six known human coronaviruses. Among them, four coronaviruses are common in the population, with low pathogenicity, and generally only cause mild respiratory symptoms similar to the common cold. Two other coronaviruses — — Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, also known as SARS coronavirus and MERS coronavirus, can cause serious respiratory diseases. Novel coronavirus, which caused the epidemic, is different from the human coronavirus that has been found. Further scientific research is needed to understand the virus.

Does the cancellation of the household registration reform plan in 31 provinces affect the rights and interests of agricultural registered permanent residence?

  With the promulgation of the "Implementation Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Household Registration System" in Beijing, the household registration reform programs in 31 provinces across the country have all been completed. In these household reform schemes, agricultural registered permanent residence was explicitly cancelled, which indicates that agricultural registered permanent residence, which contains multiple emotions and connotations, has officially withdrawn from the historical stage. Will the cancellation of agricultural registered permanent residence affect farmers’ rights and interests? What impact will it have on the new urbanization construction?

  Farmers’ rights and interests are not affected.

  In the Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Household Registration System issued by the State Council in 2014, it was proposed that "a unified household registration system should be established in urban and rural areas, and the distinction between agricultural registered permanent residence and non-agricultural registered permanent residence and the blue-printed household registration derived from it should be abolished, and unified registration should be made as a resident household registration."

  Since 1958, China has divided agricultural registered permanent residence and non-agricultural registered permanent residence, resulting in different rights, guarantees and treatment. Agricultural registered permanent residence’s rights and interests are mainly collective land contracting rights, rural homestead use rights and collective income distribution rights, while non-agricultural registered permanent residence’s rights and interests are mainly social public services attached to household registration, including education, medical care, employment, insurance, housing and so on.

  According to experts’ analysis, the cancellation of agricultural registered permanent residence does not mean that all agricultural registered permanent residence will be transformed into non-agricultural registered permanent residence, but registered as a resident’s account, which will lay a foundation for gradually opening up the dual gap between urban and rural areas and realizing the equalization of public services in social security, education and medical care. Therefore, the actual rights and interests of farmers will not change.

  "After the identity of farmers and urban residents is unified, there is no distinction between agricultural registered permanent residence and non-agricultural registered permanent residence, only geographical differences." Zhou Yunqing, a professor of sociology at Wuhan University, said that at present, the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents is being merged one after another, and in the future, residents all over the country are expected to enjoy equal status and treatment.

  With the advancement of urbanization, public services such as urban education and housing security in many areas have also been opened to rural migrant workers and their children. According to the data released by the National Development and Reform Commission, in 2015, there were 13.671 million children of migrant workers in the compulsory education stage, and the proportion of them enrolled in public schools reached 80%. In addition to compulsory education, Sichuan, Chongqing, Zhejiang and other places have included migrant workers in the public rental housing security system.

  The equalization of urban and rural public services has accelerated.

  The Plan for Promoting 100 million Non-registered Population to Settle in Cities issued by the General Office of the State Council clearly stipulates that the conditions for settling in agricultural transfer population should be relaxed in an all-round way except for a few mega-cities. Focusing on the population of rural students entering cities and towns for further studies and joining the army, the agricultural transfer population who have lived in cities and towns for more than five years and migrated with their families, and the new generation of migrant workers, we will promote the agricultural transfer population who have the ability to work and live stably in cities and towns to settle down with their families in cities and towns.

  In 2015, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, located in Jianghan Plain, fully liberalized the restrictions on household registration. As long as rural residents rent legal private housing for urban residents and have stable employment, they, their spouses, fathers and minor children can all settle in Xiangyang City. At the same time, it is clear that farmers should not withdraw from the right to contracted management of land, the right to use homestead and the right to distribute collective income as preconditions when they settle down in urban areas.

  Zhao Di is the sales manager of a machinery enterprise in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province. In June 2015, after Xiangyang City implemented the "zero threshold" for urban settlement, he was able to move his household registration from his hometown in Henan to Xiangyang City. "When the hukou is in the countryside, it is very inconvenient for children to go to school in Xiangyang. When they participate in some bidding to check their ID cards, they are even considered as impersonations. Now these problems are solved."

  The reporters interviewed in many places for half a month found that most small and medium-sized towns have liberalized the threshold for settlement, encouraging rural residents to settle in cities, so as to improve the urbanization rate of registered population. According to the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the urbanization rate of China’s permanent population needs to increase by 3.9 percentage points in the next five years, and the urbanization rate of registered population needs to increase by 5.1 percentage points. In the future, it will be more convenient for agricultural population to move into cities and settle down.

  Dong Xiaowei, deputy director of the comprehensive pilot office of new urbanization in Langzhong City, Sichuan Province, made a detailed comparison between agricultural registered permanent residence and non-agricultural registered permanent residence: among the 12 rights associated with hukou, there are basically no policy differences between urban and rural areas, such as employment, pension insurance, education, basic public health services and public cultural services; Land rights and interests, direct grain subsidies, returning farmland to forests, rural five guarantees and poverty alleviation are unique to rural hukou; Only low-income cities have a higher monthly subsidy standard than rural areas, 40 yuan, and public rental housing and low-rent housing are unique to urban hukou.

  Dong Xiaowei said: "In recent years, preferential policies attached to agricultural registered permanent residence have been continuously introduced, which greatly increased the attractiveness of agricultural registered permanent residence. Some farmers are willing to work and live in the city, but they are unwilling to move their accounts, which is a rational choice after calculating an interest account. "

  Three trends of "anti-urbanization"

  Under the "one drop and one liter" of gold content in urban hukou and rural hukou, rural residents who used to prefer to spend money to "turn agriculture into non-agriculture" and eat "national grain" are now less willing to settle in cities year by year.

  A sample survey in Yicheng City, Hubei Province shows that 70% of local farmers are willing to move to cities, but they are unwilling to move into hukou. Huoqiu County, Anhui Province is one of the pilot counties to promote new urbanization. According to the data provided by Huoqiu County Public Security Bureau, in 2015, only 273 people moved into Chengguan Town in agricultural registered permanent residence, Huoqiu County. At present, there are still 1.5 million people in agricultural registered permanent residence.

  In some places, the phenomenon of "reverse urbanization" has gradually appeared.

  — — I was admitted to the university, but I didn’t move my hukou. Rural students in many places no longer move their registered permanent residence to cities after being admitted to universities. According to the data provided by the Public Security Bureau of Langzhong City, only 21 rural college students moved their household registration to the cities where they studied in 2015, mainly to big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Wei Li, deputy head of the Public Security Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Langzhong City, said that at present, rural college students are expected to settle in big cities unless they are admitted to key universities, and generally do not move out of rural areas.

  — — Buy a house, work and live in the city, but don’t move your account. Many small and medium-sized cities have zero threshold for settlement, and a considerable number of rural hukou personnel who have lived in cities all the year round have fully met the conditions for settlement in cities, but they still leave their hukou in rural areas.

  In September, 2015, Huoqiu County issued a policy, which stipulated that anyone who bought a new commercial house with a size of less than 144 square meters for the first time in the county planning area would be given a housing subsidy of 200 yuan per square meter, and rural registered residents could voluntarily choose to transfer their household registration. Yao Zebao, a 25-year-old villager in Linhuaigang Township, Huoqiu County, told reporters that he worked in Shanghai and went back to Huoqiu County to buy a house for the convenience of his children going to primary school in the county. "My income is limited, it is impossible to settle in Shanghai, and I will return to Huoqiu in the future. However, I am not going to move my hukou to the county, and it is better to stay in the rural policy. "

  — — Many people with urban hukou want to move their hukou back to the countryside. Wei Li said that although the current policy prohibits urban hukou from moving to rural areas, almost every day people call to ask how to change urban hukou into rural hukou.

  Bian Zisheng, a resident of Huoqiu County, said: "I used to be a rural hukou. In 1992, my parents spent 4,000 yuan to buy me a town hukou, so that I could go to school in the city. At that time, the rural hukou could not go to schools in the county. Now I regret it, there is neither contracted land nor homestead. "

  Urbanization cannot be a "digital article"

  During the half-month talk, reporters found in many places that many places have set expected goals for the urbanization rate of registered population, and some places have started "digital articles" to complete the target tasks.

  After canceling the distinction between agricultural and non-agricultural hukou, some cities counted all the population in urban areas divided by civil affairs as urban registered population, thus, a large number of farmers in urban villages and suburban villages were "urbanized". The heads of new urbanization functional departments in some areas said that by withdrawing counties and setting up districts, a large number of rural population in the suburbs are all counted as urban registered population, so as to ensure that the urbanization rate index is completed on schedule.

  In some places, land expropriation has become a means to complete the urbanization rate of the population. In a city in the west, the reporter found that in 2016, the city’s farmers settled in the city with a target of 56,000 people. When asked whether the set goal can be achieved, the person in charge of the comprehensive pilot office of new urbanization in the city said: "It can certainly be achieved. In a city as big as ours, there are tens of thousands of people if we casually engage in land acquisition."

  Li Quanjun, deputy director of the Development Planning Department of Anhui Development and Reform Commission, believes that the registered population can no longer fully reflect the real urbanization rate of a place. In the process of accelerating new urbanization, we should respect the laws of economic and social development and avoid the phenomenon of forcibly promoting urbanization.

  To truly promote the urbanization of people, in addition to strengthening the absorption function of cities, we should also revitalize rural land assets and "untie" farmers and land. In recent years, farmers’ "three rights" of land contractual management right, homestead use right and collective income distribution right have been strengthened, but the property value of farmers’ assets cannot be realized because the key institutional obstacles have not been fundamentally eliminated, which weakens farmers’ ability to bring capital into the city, which also "binds" farmers and land tightly.

  After the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, the central government gradually began to promote the "separation of three powers" in rural land reform: implementing collective ownership, stabilizing farmers’ contracting rights, and releasing land management rights. On October 30 this year, the central government also issued the Opinions on Improving the Separation of Rural Land Ownership, Contracting Rights and Management Rights to further improve the rural land property rights system.

  Some places actively explore ways to revitalize rural land property rights and let farmers bring capital into cities. Using the mechanism of linking the increase and decrease of urban and rural construction land, Chongqing has implemented the "land ticket" system, guiding farmers to voluntarily reclaim idle and abandoned rural construction land into cultivated land. After ensuring the development of rural areas, the formed indicators will be publicly traded in the market in the form of "land ticket". Yicheng City, Hubei Province is constantly exploring the exit mechanism of rural homestead. On the premise of confirming the right and determining the normal use area in the early stage, based on the principle of farmers’ voluntary participation, hundreds of households have voluntarily withdrawn from the area occupied by farmers.

Closed five department stores in six years, and Tianhe City’s transformation suffered setbacks.

Original Li Xinting Times Weekly

Guangdong Yuehai Tianhe City (hereinafter referred to as "Tianhe City"), which once opened the first year of China Shopping Center by Guangzhou Tianhe City Shopping Center, failed to survive the industry cycle.

Recently, according to the notice issued by WeChat official account, the official commercial WeChat of Tianhe City in Guangdong Province, due to the expiration of the lease contract of the shopping mall, Dongpu Store of Tianhe City Department Store in Guangzhou will be closed on December 31, 2023.

This is the second store that Tianhe City Department Store has closed in Guangzhou this year. As of the end of 2017, Tianhe City Department Store had 9 stores, but since then, Tianhe City Department Store has closed many department stores. After the closure of Dongpu Store, Tianhe City Department Store has only four stores in Yingmen Store, creating a new low in the number of stores in Tianhe City Department Store in recent years.

The continuous contraction of Tianhe City’s department store format is the epitome of the current offline consumption format iteration.

Under the impact of e-commerce, in recent years, traditional department store brands with old space design and poor consumption experience have successively withdrawn from public view. At the same time, new shopping centers that focus more on catering, tide play and other experience formats continue to attack. Between advance and retreat, Tianhe City is also striving to update its own format.

On December 7th, regarding the business operation of Tianhe City Department Store and Shopping Center, Time Weekly reporter called and sent a letter to Tianhe City’s parent company, Yuehai Investment (00270.HK), but no reply was received as of press time.

Close 5 stores in 6 years.

Tianhecheng Department Store Dongpu Store, which recently issued a notice of suspension, has been in business for nearly 12 years, but in terms of "qualifications", it is still slightly inferior to Tianhecheng Department Store Beijing Road Store, which closed at the beginning of the year.

On March 26th, Tianhe City Department Store Beijing Road Store closed due to the need of strategic adjustment. The store opened on September 26th, 2008, and has been in business for nearly 15 years by the time it closed.

In addition, in recent years, the size of Tianhe City department stores has continued to shrink. As of December 31, 2017, the number of Tianhe City department stores was 9. Since then, including the two stores closed this year, Yuehai Yangzhonghui Store, Dongguan Store and Foshan Nanhai Store have also been closed.

The continuous closing action is directly reflected in the weak performance of Tianhe City Department Store in recent years.

Yuehai Investment Financial Report shows that from 2015 to 2019, the annual revenue of Tianhe City Department Store declined as a whole. In 2019, Tianhe City Department Store’s annual revenue was 665 million Hong Kong dollars, down 7.2% year-on-year, and its pre-tax profit was 230 million yuan, down 2.3% year-on-year.

The latest financial report shows that in the first three quarters of 2023, the revenue of Tianhe City Department Store was 592 million yuan, down 0.7% year-on-year; Affected by the fair value loss of investment properties during this period and the gains from shortening the lease period of department stores, the pre-tax profit decreased by 84.8% to HK$ 23.787 million.

The decline of Tianhe City Department Store is the embodiment of the dilemma of the current traditional department store format.

The emerging e-commerce format in recent years has a huge impact on physical commerce. On December 6, Lai Yang, member of the Expert Committee of China Business Federation and executive vice president of Beijing Business Economics Association, told the Times Weekly reporter that in the era of cloud consumption, it has become a general trend for consumption to break the restrictions of time and space. Traditional department stores sell goods in stores, and labor costs, rental costs, offline channel costs, inventory costs, etc. need to be converted into product pricing, so commodity prices are on the high side.

"In contrast, online shop products have low cost, diverse choices and convenient delivery. Therefore, the opportunity for consumers to go to traditional department stores for rigid shopping needs is now tending to zero. " Lai Yang analyzed.

On the same day, a commercial real estate operator told Times Weekly that the biggest problem of traditional department stores is that the format is single and the space design has fallen behind the times.

"Traditional department stores are highly focused on retail, with limited supporting facilities and catering formats. There are almost no categories with particularly novel experiences, which are out of the current consumption hotspots, and the catering formats are often limited to street shops, lacking quality and special catering categories. At the same time, because there is no atrium in traditional department stores, customers will feel limited in terms of on-site activities, beauty and customer service. " The operator said.

Performance fluctuation of shopping center plate

While the traditional department store format has declined rapidly, the offline consumption format has also ushered in a breakthrough.

Laiyang told Times Weekly that people’s offline consumption behavior has shifted from meeting rigid demand to experiential consumption. Nowadays, consumers’ main demand for offline business has turned to socializing or discovering some novel and interesting products.

"The sense of existence in the offline retail format has been greatly reduced, and catering, leisure, culture and entertainment have become the key to stimulating offline consumption. The performance of offline businesses that have made breakthroughs and innovations in this regard is good, and they are still based on the traditional model, and the difficulty of survival will become more and more serious. " Lai Yang said.

Therefore, in recent years, new shopping centers that pay more attention to providing "experience" are constantly rising, and Yuehai Investment has also widely distributed shopping malls across the country.

In 2017, 2020 and 2022, Tianhe City Shopping Mall operated by Yuehai Investment in Tianjin, Panyu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen opened one after another. At the beginning of 2022, Tianhe City Shopping Center Beijing Road Store also reported that its business area continued to expand.

In the operation of shopping malls, Yuehai Tianhe City is struggling to catch up with the consumption trend.

△ In July this year, Guangzhou Tianhe City Shopping Center, located in Sports West, held a theme exhibition of Baokemeng. Source: Guangzhou Tianhe City official Weibo.

Tianjin Tianhe City Shopping Center, which opened in 2017, is positioned as a one-stop "city enjoyment home", which not only introduces diversified formats such as fashion clothes, cultural travel experience and indoor entertainment, but also increases the proportion of catering formats to 30%; Panyu Tianhe City, which opened in 2020, introduced brands covering retail, catering, entertainment, education and other formats, providing a variety of experiences such as home aesthetics, trendy skin care and beauty, and trendy play.

Tianhe City, Shenzhen, which opened at the end of 2022, organically integrated with the Golden Beer House transformed from the site of Jinwei Brewery, and introduced the chain pub brand Tiaohai Tavern, which was popular among young people in recent years, and KUDDO COFFEE, a local coffee brand in Shenzhen.

Despite considerable efforts in operation, the performance of Yuehai Tianhe City has not improved significantly. In the first three quarters of this year, the total revenue of Yuehai Tianhe City Shopping Center also declined.

More importantly, Tianhe City Shopping Center, as the core pillar of Yuehai Tianhe City’s business, has also seen a decline in average occupancy rate in recent years. From 2019 to 2021, the average occupancy rate of Tianhe Shopping Center was 99.9%. However, in the first three quarters of 2022 and 2023, the index was 99.4% and 99.3% respectively.

The offline consumption environment is changing with each passing day. Can Tianhe City update its format in time to catch up with the trend? The result remains to be seen.
