Special feature: Why the loss of a mountain fire hit a hundred-year record —— Reflection on the mountain fire disaster in California, USA

  Xinhua News Agency, Los Angeles, December 16th, special feature: Why did the loss of a mountain fire hit a hundred-year record — — Reflection on Mountain Fire Disaster in California, USA

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Heng Gaoshan

  On the real-time fire map of California Forest Fire Bureau, many mountain fires are still burning. Compared with the basically controlled mountain fire "Kemp", these mountain fires are small in scale, but they still make Californians nervous.

  Recently, mountain fires "Kemp", "woolsey" and "Hill" have ravaged the north and south of California at the same time, causing at least 89 deaths and burning more than 20,000 buildings. The "Kemp" mountain fire has become the most deadly and destructive mountain fire disaster in the United States in the past 100 years because it claimed more than 80 innocent lives.

  Although California mountain fires are related to natural factors, they also expose some problems such as outdated infrastructure, improper planning and insufficient budget in some parts of the United States, which causes American society to reflect.

  Climate change policy is questioned.

  On December 7, the US Environmental Protection Agency announced a new policy, which greatly loosened the restrictions on carbon emissions of new coal-fired power plants. This is the latest action of the Clean Power Plan issued by the current US government during its subversion of the Obama administration. In the eyes of many scientists, similar carbon emission loosening policies will aggravate global warming, thus leading to more "Kemp"-style deadly mountain fires.

  According to the statistics of the National Inter-departmental Fire Center of the United States, four of the five largest mountain fires in California history occurred after 2012 in terms of fire area. The "Thomas Mountain Fire", which just set a fire area record at the beginning of this year, was surpassed by the "Mendocino Joint Mountain Fire" with a fire area of more than 1,148 square kilometers seven months later.

  Neil Laru, an atmospheric researcher at the University of Nevada, Reno, believes that the frequent severe mountain fires are behind the trend of climate warming. "When the atmosphere warms, it also becomes hungrier." Strong winds accelerate the spread of fire, and at the same time, "thirsty" air will absorb water from plants, making vegetation more flammable. "Heat, drought and strong winds are all raw materials for mountain fires. It’s all collected this time. "

  In the view of California Governor Jerry Brown, "Fire Devil" is rampant because of human factors. He emphasized to the media and the public that global warming and the increase in extreme weather are the fundamental reasons for the destructive power of California mountain fires. Humans need to "stand with nature" to stop the trend of global warming.

  This is an important part of the White House’s policy philosophy. The current U.S. government not only withdrew from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, but also abolished a series of energy reform measures formulated during the Obama era by administrative order, and even planned to force the reduction of automobile exhaust and carbon emission standards of coal-fired power plants.

  Coincidentally. When reflecting on the severe flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston last year, many scientists also expounded the relationship between climate change and frequent hurricanes. Jim Black, a professor of environmental engineering at Rice University in Texas, told reporters that in the United States, climate change has almost become a taboo topic, and he does not agree with this practice. He believes that facing up to climate change will help to deal with disastrous weather conditions to a certain extent.

  "These measures [to loosen carbon emission restrictions] mean that when people face heat waves, droughts, fires and floods, the government will ignore them. These disasters will become more terrible because of climate change. " Ken Chimel, president of the American Union of Concerned Scientists, told reporters.

  Infrastructure aging buried hidden dangers.

  In addition to the "bad weather", California suffered heavy fire losses in the past two years, which also reflected two major livelihood issues that have plagued the United States for many years, namely, the housing crisis and the aging of infrastructure. Failure to nip in the bud is closely related to these disadvantages of people’s livelihood.

  In California, for example, the housing needs of a large number of low-income people have been unable to meet for a long time, and their homes have been forced to gradually expand from the edge of the city to the adjacent wild forest areas, some of which are even the originally planned urban fire belts. In order to ensure the real estate tax that supports local finance, some municipal authorities have relaxed supervision on developers. As a result, a large number of buildings were illegally built in the forest. Once a mountain fire happens, it is easy to cause huge personal and property losses.

  Richard halsey, an expert on mountain fires, wrote in the Los Angeles Times that the social reasons behind mountain fires must be acknowledged, including "poor planning". "They allow developers to leave hidden dangers during development, but let firefighters take the blame."

  The aging of power, communication, emergency and other infrastructure has seriously affected the life-saving and escape measures such as fire warning, notification and evacuation. The communication signal in the mountainous area of California is extremely poor. In Paradise Town, the hardest hit area of the mountain fire "Kemp", many victims who escaped from the fire confirmed to reporters that about one-third of the 27,000 residents in the town did not receive the mandatory evacuation order issued by the police through mobile phones, networks and other channels when the mountain fire occurred.

  According to an after-the-fact investigation by the California Public Facilities Committee, the first batch of firefighters who rushed to Paradise Town arrived at the scene 10 minutes after the fire broke out, at about 6: 45 am on November 8. Due to the shortage of local base stations and communication difficulties, although the county sheriff’s office quickly issued an evacuation order, it was past 8 o’clock when the first batch of residents learned the order, and by 10: 15, the mobile communication signal in Paradise Town was completely interrupted.

  Savannah Lauscher, a resident of Paradise Town, recalled that when she received the alarm at about 8: 30, the ashes had drifted outside her house. "We saw a wall of fire. The Woods 50 yards (about 45 meters) away are burning and moving forward at a speed of almost 10 yards (about 9 meters) per minute. " Their family escaped by car like most people, but the road was so congested that they had to drive into the opposite lane to find a way out. Many people abandoned their cars and fled, while many people who stayed in the cars were burned to death.

  Old power facilities are also a great hidden danger. According to the investigation report of the California Forest Fire Bureau on the cause of the fire in 2017, of the 21 large-scale fires in that year, 17 were caused by the equipment failure of Pacific Gas and Power Company. According to reports, the cause of the "Kemp" mountain fire may also be related to this.

  Insufficient special budget attracts criticism.

  The frequent occurrence of catastrophic mountain fires highlights the shortage of funds related to disaster prevention and relief in the United States. When the fiscal deficit and debt are rising, the U.S. government insists on using more government budgets in the military field, and does not hesitate to squeeze the budgets of federal agencies related to people’s livelihood. In addition, short-sighted economic and fiscal policies have magnified the shortcomings of insufficient and unbalanced disaster prevention and relief resources in the United States at this stage.

  In FY 2018, the department responsible for forest fire prevention at the federal level — — The overall fire budget of the US Forestry Administration decreased by 17%, of which the budget for fire fighting was 1.06 billion US dollars, and in fiscal year 2017, the bureau spent more than 2.5 billion US dollars on fighting mountain fires. Overexpenditure on fire fighting has resulted in less and less expenses on fire prevention and related scientific research.

  Us president trump accused California of failing to clean up dead trees and weeds in the forest in time after the "Kemp" mountain fire. The budget table of the US Forestry Administration shows that this year’s federal budget will directly reduce the budget for "cleaning up dangerous combustibles" from more than $37 million to zero. The inter-departmental "Joint Fire Science Research Project" has funded 280 sub-projects in the past 10 years, which has played a great role in guiding the disaster reduction and prevention of mountain fires. However, the funding for this research project in 2018 is less than a quarter of that in 2011.

  Due to historical reasons, a large area of land in the western United States belongs to the federal government. Take the forests of California as an example, 40% are owned by federal agencies, 30% are privately owned, and 30% are owned by the California government. The federal government has invested less in the prevention, control and scientific research of mountain fires, so the state government has to use local financial funds to advance. In 2016, California paid $16 million in firefighting funds for the federal government. Until 2017, the money was not returned, which led California to threaten to stand by and watch the fires in the federal government’s jurisdiction.

  The California mountain fire also exposed the imbalance in the allocation of disaster relief forces of local governments in the United States. An official of the Los Angeles Fire Department told the reporter that "Kemp" caused heavy casualties in northern California, while the other two fires near Los Angeles caused relatively light losses. The most direct reason was that the local government in southern California had more money, so it could hire more firefighters, professional firefighting planes and other large equipment. The worst-hit paradise town, which is located in Buyut County, is one of the poorest places in California.

  The casualties and losses caused by a fire are heartbreaking. The inability of the federal and local governments to cope with the disaster has exposed the shortcomings of American social governance. These deep-seated contradictions and problems should arouse the reflection of the American government and society, otherwise, the future fire and water disasters will only be more ruthless.

  According to the information disclosure documents, this round of refinancing general bonds were issued through bidding.

  In this regard, Feng Lin, a senior analyst of Oriental Jincheng Research and Development Department, said in an interview with national business daily that there may be two meanings here: First, it is the concrete implementation of the Special Action Plan for Clearing Outstanding Enterprise Accounts adopted by the the State Council executive meeting on September 20th. Second, this means that the hidden debts of local governments include not only the financial debts of the city investment platform, but also the accounts owed to enterprises.

  According to the debt situation of the whole region disclosed by the Finance Department of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the government debt balance of the whole region in 2022 was 933.97 billion yuan.

  Conducive to reducing the hidden debt stock.

  Is the refinancing bond issued by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Government a special refinancing bond? What is the difference between special refinancing bonds and refinancing bonds?

  Nie Zhuo, a lecturer in the Finance and Taxation Department of university of international business and economics Institute of International Economics and Trade, said that ordinary refinancing bonds and special refinancing bonds are local government bonds that the budget law stipulates that local governments can legally issue within the debt limit approved by the National People’s Congress. The difference between them lies mainly in their different purposes. Ordinary refinancing bonds are used to repay the principal of local government bonds due, andSpecial refinancing bonds are used to repay other debts besides the explicit debts of local governments, including the implicit debts of existing stocks.. Therefore, the refinancing bonds issued by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region government this time belong to special refinancing bonds.

  Feng Lin also mentioned that special refinancing bonds are refinancing bonds issued by local governments. Different from ordinary refinancing bonds, the funds raised by special refinancing bonds are used to repay the principal of government bonds due, and the funds raised by special refinancing bonds are used to replace local implicit debts.That is, to make hidden debts explicit..

  "The issuance of ordinary refinancing bonds will not lead to an increase in the balance of explicit debts of local governments, because only the expired explicit debts will be replaced by newly issued refinancing bonds; The issuance of special refinancing bonds will reduce the implicit debt stock and increase the explicit debt balance. " When talking about the difference between the two, Nie Zhuo said.

  Feng Lin further pointed out that from the past practice, the explicit hidden debt is a debt-dissolving method with less resistance and obvious short-term results. Therefore, after Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party proposed to "formulate and implement a package debt-dissolving scheme" on July 24th, the market generally expected that the special refinancing debt used to replace hidden debt would be re-issued and would become an important measure in the package debt-dissolving scheme.

  Nie Zhuo said that the issuance of special refinancing bonds has two meanings for resolving local debts. First, special refinancing bonds transform high-interest and opaque implicit debt into low-interest and transparent regulatory debt, which directly reduces the debt risk of local governments. Second, the issuance of special refinancing bonds uses the local government debt limit approved by the National People’s Congress in the past but not used by local governments, which will not break through the current local government debt limit management principle, so the implementation cost is small.

  When talking about the historical issuance scale of refinancing bonds, Nie Zhuo said that refinancing bonds were first issued in December 2020 when the pilot project to resolve the hidden debt risk of the county was fully launched, and all of them were issued in September 2021, with a total amount of 612.8 billion yuan. Subsequently, a total of 504.18 billion yuan of special refinancing bonds were issued in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong. According to previous market rumors, the planned issuance amount of this round of special refinancing bonds is 1.5 trillion yuan, exceeding the sum of the previous two rounds.

CFF20LXzkOwNfsay86cib4p0S2T0NfBIZicSMl7tYnKBaibmLibs8uIQI1mZYasibU5KFf6wlMM5EENdMic3ibFTHCmUw.png

  What are the main sources of local debt risks?

  Nie Zhuo pointed out that in the short term, the local government debt risk is mainly manifested as liquidity risk, especially the liquidity risk of the stock implicit debt, including a considerable part of financing platform debt, which is due to be paid.The principal repayment risk of local government’s explicit debt is not serious, but the continuous rise of interest burden is worthy of attention.. At present, the liquidity risk of local government debt is very prominent, which is also related to the substantial increase of local government expenditure responsibility during the epidemic, the financial shortage caused by the economic recovery situation after the epidemic, and the real estate risk has not been completely resolved.

  "In the long run, the essence of local debt risk is that the transformation of China’s economic development model has not yet been completed, and economic growth still depends on government investment to a considerable extent, and the efficiency of government investment has gradually declined with the completion of a large number of infrastructure construction in the past." Nie Zhuo said that whether the future debt risk can really be continuously resolved depends on whether it can continue to deepen major economic reforms such as market-oriented reform and income distribution reform while improving the local government debt management system, and finally complete the transformation of the economic development model.

  It is worth noting that the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting held on July 24th pointed out that "it is necessary to effectively prevent and resolve local debt risks and formulate and implement a debt package". Then, what plans can local governments take to prevent and resolve local debt risks?

  Nie Zhuo said that in the short term, the core of debt conversion is to avoid liquidity risks of local governments. Relevant debt-dissolving measures include negotiating with financial institutions to obtain liquidity support, issuing special refinancing bonds, and disposing of state-owned assets to obtain income to pay off debts. In the medium term, while promoting the further improvement of the economic situation to increase the financial revenue sources of local governments, we can consider restructuring some hidden debts. In the long run, on the one hand, it is necessary to further improve the local government debt management mechanism and establish a clear relationship between the central and local governments to avoid the increase of debt scale; On the other hand, it is also necessary to promote the reform of income distribution and marketization to reduce the dependence of economic growth on government investment.

  Song Xuetao, chief macro analyst of TF Securities, said in an interview with national business daily that since the meeting of the Political Bureau on July 24th, although local governments have actively promoted the debt-converting work, not many have publicly disclosed the debt-converting plan.

  Song Xuetao further pointed out that Hunan Province may mainly rely on financial resources to support debt. On August 29th, the executive meeting of Hunan Provincial Government approved in principle the Work Plan for Preventing and Resolving Local Debt Risks in Hunan Province (Draft for Review), but the plan has not been made public at present. However, from the Report on Draft Final Accounts of Hunan Province in 2022 and Budget Implementation in the First Half of 2023, it is mentioned that "encourage and guide financial institutions such as banks ‘ Take his plate instead ’ , continue to cut interest rates, promote the hidden debt chain, optimize the structure, and reduce costs. From the point of view, the interest rate reduction for the extension of the existing hidden debt may be the key debt-turning scheme in Hunan Province this round.

  Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, in the "Report on the Final Accounts of Xiangtan City at the corresponding level in 2022 (Draft)" also proposed "passing ‘ Silver meets non-silver ’ ‘ Bank encirclement ’ , structural deleveraging, optimizing asset allocation and other measures, and strive to achieve ‘ Medium and long-term bank funds accounted for 90% of the debt, and the interest rate dropped to 4%’ The goal of accelerating the realization of ‘ Interest even ’ The plan to promote the early turning point in the tough battle of debt conversion is also mainly based on the route of financial support for debt conversion. Song Xuetao said: "Considering that the explicit debt space of local governments is limited, it is more difficult to replace a large number of implicit debts with explicit debts in 2015. It is expected that financial resources such as interest rate cuts will play a greater role in this round of debt-converting."

  Nanning, Guangxi, emphasizes the market-oriented transformation of state-owned enterprises and the revitalization of existing assets to help turn debt into debt. The Work Points of Nanning Finance Bureau in 2023 clearly pointed out that "support the market-oriented transformation of state-owned enterprises and promote the debt resolution of municipal state-owned platform companies. Increase the vitality of the city-level and county (city, district) stock assets, and actively revitalize various assets such as national reserve forests, water conservancy projects, property transfer houses and state-owned agricultural land. "

  Which related industries will benefit?

  Song Xuetao said that debt conversion through special refinancing bonds is essentially the same as the replacement bonds launched in 2015, which are all implicit debts. By 2022, the explicit debt ratio of local governments has reached 125%, exceeding the warning line of 100% set by the Ministry of Finance in 2015, and there is not much room for local governments to undertake hidden debts. Therefore, the special refinancing bonds will mainly play an "emergency" role in this round of debt conversion, and it is not expected to "sprinkle pepper noodles".

  Nie Zhuo also said that special refinancing bonds are conducive to helping areas with high hidden debt risks to reduce the pressure of principal and interest payment.

  Feng Lin pointed out that the previous market rumors that the issuance amount of this round of special refinancing bonds will be around 1.5 trillion yuan, and the focus will be on 12 high-risk provinces and cities, but Inner Mongolia, which took the lead in issuing special refinancing bonds, is not among these 12 provinces. This means that the provinces involved in this round of special refinancing bonds may be more widely rumored than before.It is expected that the areas with high risk of subsequent debt will also follow up the issuance quickly, and the current issuance quota may also exceed 1.5 trillion yuan.— — Comparing the local government debt balance and debt limit, the upper limit of the scale of issuing special refinancing bonds to replace hidden debts during the year is about 2.6 trillion yuan, of which the general debt limit space is about 1.4 trillion yuan and the special debt limit space is about 1.1 trillion yuan, and the general debt limit can be used more. The special refinancing bonds issued in Inner Mongolia this time are all general debts.

  Which industries may be greatly affected by the new round of local debt risk resolution? What investment opportunities may appear in the second half of the year?

  In this regard, Song Xuetao explained that since this round of debt conversion should "prevent debt from being added at the same time", and the creditor should mainly resolve the risk of debt exposure, not eliminate the debt, and the corresponding debt still needs to be repaid by the local government after debt conversion, so the main function of this round of debt conversion will be to slow down the risk, rather than let the local government re-leverage on a large scale. However, in the process of debt conversion, local governments and local urban investment platforms may speed up the repayment of debts owed by enterprises. Therefore, industries that have had more business dealings with local governments in the past and held more accounts receivable from local governments or local urban investment platforms will benefit from this round of debt, such as construction, agriculture, forestry, environmental protection, water affairs, electricity and other industries related to infrastructure or public utilities.

  Feng Lin said that the issuance of special refinancing bonds in Inner Mongolia means that the market will realize the expected resumption of the issuance of special refinancing bonds, which will slow down the liquidity risk in areas with high debt risk, and may also release the signal that the debt package plan will gradually enter the implementation stage. This is mainly beneficial to the short-term solvency of urban investment enterprises, and its impact on the bond market is also mainly reflected in urban investment bonds. The reason is that the city investment company, as the investment and financing platform of local governments for a long time, is the main debtor of local hidden debts.

  Feng Lin further pointed out that it can be seen that since Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party put forward a package of debt-conversion schemes, the market’s worries about the default of urban investment bonds have been alleviated. Since August, urban investment bonds have been sought after by investors, with the subscription multiple rising sharply, the yield rate dropping significantly, and the spread greatly reduced. In particular, short-term urban investment bonds in areas with high debt risks and regional spreads have been favored by the market, and the spread narrowed most obviously. "We judge that with the gradual implementation of the debt package represented by the re-issuance of special refinancing bonds, the regions and related entities that benefit from policy support will be focused on by the market, and the enthusiasm for the subscription of urban investment bonds is still expected to continue."

In recent years, the award ceremony of people of the year who moved China has become a "spiritual feast" in Chinese and one of the "compulsory courses" for hundreds of millions of TV viewers. It is as enduring as a jewel in the dust of the years. CCTV’s professional team, high-standard character selection and all-round excellent production are the core of the jewel charm "Touching China People of the Year Award Ceremony". "Touching China 2024 People Award Ceremony" is accurately positioned and carefully selected, and based on the ten most representative figures, it shows the ubiquitous and stirring Chinese strength and national spirit in 2024. Among them, the name of party member, a young communist in our city, was shining at this award ceremony. He was party member Lidong, an outstanding communist in Hunan Province. On the evening of July 1st last year, Comrade Li Dong died heroically in the front line of flood fighting and rescue in Yueyang County to protect his two colleagues from danger, and his life was fixed at the age of 30.

Li Zilian, the father of Comrade Li Dong, is a severely disabled person. He not only lost his normal hearing and language functions, but also suffered from a car accident 14 years ago, resulting in high paraplegia. At present, he can only walk in a wheelchair, and his life is extremely difficult. Li Dong’s mother, Chen Ping, is weak and sick, and she is also struggling to take medicine all the year round. Li Dong is the only son of Li Zilian and Chen Ping. This "couple in distress" has been one of the families of disabled people with difficulties that Yueyang Volunteers Association has been paying attention to and helping in pairs for more than ten years. The sacrifice of Comrade Li Dong undoubtedly made this originally troubled family even worse. In recent two years, the Party branch and Council of Yueyang Volunteers Association for Helping the Disabled have intensified their efforts and helped this special family from a deep level. In the past August, the association helped Li Zilian to enter Yueyang Kangda Orthopedic Hospital to treat the increasingly serious bedsore, and reduced all his hospitalization expenses, treatment expenses and nursing expenses. The treatment effect was very good, which was well received by Li Zilian and his wife and highly affirmed by all walks of life.

In the future, all our volunteers who help the disabled should further learn from Comrade Li Dong, always pay attention to those who are in trouble and need help, implement the charity action for helping the disabled in words and deeds, and strive to care for one person, touch one family and warm one side. "

All volunteers who care for the disabled in Yueyang Taihe Chamber of Commerce will take Li Dong’s deeds of touching China as a spiritual model, starting from themselves and starting from the side, and making the greatest contribution to the construction of Yueyang’s national civilized city. " Zhou Zhuojun, Liu Xiangxian and Peng Youfu, members of the Party branch of Taihe Market Chamber of Commerce, performed a poem reading "Dedicated the most beautiful hymn to Li Dong who moved China" on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and won thunderous applause.

Li Guowu, the national moral model and president of Yueyang Volunteer Service Federation, made a concluding speech. He said, "The rivers and lakes are beautiful, the world is Yueyang, and the spirit of sorrow and happiness is new." "Li Dong, a character who touched China in 2024" is a civilian hero and a shining model born around us, and it is an example for every volunteer to learn from. His deeds are touching because he is dedicated to the people, practical and low-key, which is the purpose and pursuit of our volunteers. I hope that the volunteer organizations and volunteer partners in the city will learn from Comrade Li Dong in a down-to-earth manner and contribute all our strength to the realization of the grand blueprint of "Seven Yueyang".(Yao Xiucheng Wang Ruisi)

Jiangxi media paid attention to the dispute over the toll collection of toll stations in southwest Chang: they did not take the expressway and were automatically overcharged.

Twelve years ago, the provincial toll station was demolished and the southwest toll station was officially opened. At that time, Nanchang Jiulong Lake was still a village, and Shangchang Southwest Toll Station had to take Fengsheng Expressway first.

Twelve years later, Jiulong Lake New Town has been completed, and Pingxiang Street, a municipal road, was directly built at the entrance of Changxi Southwest Toll Station. In addition, Fengsheng Expressway is often congested, and many car owners prefer to avoid Fengsheng Expressway and choose to take the municipal road of Jiulong Lake such as Pingxiang Street.

However, even if they take the municipal road directly into the toll station, the car owners are still "automatically" charged the tolls of Fengsheng Expressway that they have not taken, and at least they have paid more for a trip to 5 yuan.

Mr. Jiang, a businessman in Jiangxi and Hunan, bluntly said that all parts of the country are actively promoting the implementation of the tax reduction and fee reduction policy, and the fees charged by the southwest toll station are so unclear that it affects the business environment in Jiangxi.

Readers complain that they are charged for not enjoying the service.

A few days ago, Mr. Xu, a citizen of Nanchang, drove in from Jiulong Lake South Station and drove out from chauncey South Station. After being reported by this newspaper, he was charged the 15 yuan Expressway toll for 4.3 kilometers before and after, which triggered a strong response. Many readers called and complained about the experience of being "pitted", and they questioned one after another. After getting off the southwest toll station, they immediately entered Pingxiang Street in Jiulong Lake, and did not take the Fengsheng Expressway at all, but the toll station still received it. Although the provincial expressway group gave a reply of "charging compliance" on this matter, readers did not "buy it".

Xu Hua, a citizen of Nanchang, said that he had encountered the same situation at these two toll stations. The toll station doesn’t consider whether the road ahead has gone or not, and it doesn’t consider whether the road behind you has gone. As long as you pass the toll station, you will still collect money. "This is the clause of plucking the geese and overlord."

Citizen Hu Mei Store said: "Everything should be reasonable. The service is provided, and the charge is justified, but it is charged if you don’t enjoy the service, which obviously violates the principle of market economy. " He also questioned the staff several times, and the other party only replied "charging according to regulations".

This move affects the business environment in Jiangxi.

Mr. Jiang, a native of Hunan, has been investing in Jiangxi for more than ten years. The factory and hotel are located in Xiaolan Economic and Technological Development Zone in Nanchang County. Because he is optimistic about the development of Jiulong Lake, he settled in Sunac Cultural Tourism City.

He said that in recent years, people have to pass through the toll stations in South Kowloon and Southwest Chang every day. Seeing this newspaper’s report, Mr. Jiang praised it: "Your report speaks the voice of our people. Nowadays, all parts of the country are actively promoting the implementation of tax reduction and fee reduction policies, but the fees charged by these two toll stations are a bit pitted, which has increased many travel costs for enterprises and citizens. "

Mr. Jiang also said that many Hunan businessmen who came with him to invest in Nanchang shook their heads after learning about this situation. "Pingxiang Street in Jiulong Lake was directly built at the entrance of the southwest toll station in Chang, so we should not take the section of Fengsheng Expressway at all, which was inexplicably charged."

It is the commitment of the government and the voice of the people to make the fees open and transparent. However, the practice of the southwest toll station in Chang has made the surrounding citizens and investors coming to Chang have quite different opinions.

Mr. Zou from Houtian Township, a newly-built district, said: "Our greenhouse vegetable growers here have to transport vegetables to the vegetable wholesale market in Nanchang every morning, but the daily round-trip toll has caused many growers a headache." He also said that an agricultural and forestry enterprise once intended to invest and build a factory in the village, but considering that the "toll" was too high, the transportation cost increased, and the investment finally became a bubble.

Reporter’s experience: I didn’t take the Fengsheng Expressway and was automatically overcharged.

On May 13th, the reporter drove from Jiulong Avenue in Jiulong Lake to Pingxiang Street. After 5 minutes’ driving, he turned left and entered the southwest toll station, instead of taking Fengsheng Expressway. The reporter entered the expressway from chauncey South Railway Station and got off at Shengmi Station. According to the driving recorder, the distance between the two stations is 7 kilometers. According to the Jiangxi expressway charging standard of 0.45 yuan/kilometer, it should be charged 3.15 yuan, but the toll booth staff charged the 10 yuan fee. Similarly, entering the expressway from Shengmi Station and getting off at chauncey South Railway Station is also a charge for 10 yuan.

The reporter questioned: why is the charge so high for a 7-kilometer journey? The other toll collector replied: "It’s all collected in this way, and the specific charging standard should be asked by the higher authorities."

A year is "wrongly" charged or exceeds 3 million yuan.

The reporter learned that Fengsheng Expressway is free to pass as long as it does not enter the southwest toll station, and there are many intersections open, which brings convenience to citizens. But as long as you enter the southwest toll station, you have to bear the toll of Fengsheng Expressway, whether you take Fengsheng Expressway or not.

Chang Southwest Toll Station is the southwest gate of Nanchang, with an average daily traffic volume of nearly 20,000 vehicles and a peak traffic volume of over 40,000 vehicles.

Someone has calculated that if 10% of vehicles are charged for not taking the Fengsheng Expressway, the money that was "wrongly" collected in that year may exceed 3 million yuan. With the density and convenience of the municipal road network in Jiulong Lake, the number of people who are "mistakenly" collected is likely to increase sharply.

Toll Station Master: I am also charged the same fee for going back and forth every day.

At the southwest toll station of Jiangxi Ganyue Expressway Co., Ltd., Director Lin said that he had noticed the report of Jiangnan Metropolis Daily, but there was nothing they could do about charging 15 yuan for 4.3 kilometers. He also said that the toll station charges according to the regulations, but only the executive unit, policy and legal matters should be asked to the higher authorities.

"Many drivers also question the toll booths, saying that we collect fees indiscriminately, but in reality the toll booths are vulnerable groups, and some things can’t be explained clearly. If you are asked urgently, the toll booth can only keep silent and let them ask the competent department. " Director Lin said.

The reporter introduced the itinerary of the experience to Director Lin, and asked why he was charged for the Fengsheng Expressway when he turned from Pingxiang Street in Jiulong Lake to the toll station in southwest Chang. Director Lin smiled and did not give a positive answer.

Li Yongjun, the stationmaster of Changxi Southwest Toll Station, took out a file bag to the reporter. All the bags poured out were invoiced by the machines of Jiulong Hunan Toll Station and Changxi Southwest Toll Station. The reporter roughly counted, there are about 700, and the total amount is more than 10,000 yuan according to one 15 yuan.

Li Yongjun said that he works in the southwest toll station every day, and his family lives in Nanchang County. If he goes to shengmi bridge, it can be free, but the traffic jam is far away, so he bites his teeth and goes back and forth from the high-speed toll station in 30 yuan every day.

"A year except holidays, there are about 265 days, and every day in 30 yuan, it is 7950 yuan. There is no way, we are toll station staff, and we must abide by relevant regulations and not be special. " Li Yongjun said.

Expressway Group: The fee is based on the minutes of the 2006 meeting.

In Jiangxi Expressway Investment Group Co., Ltd., Ms. Wu from the Toll Management Department provided the reporter with the Minutes of the Coordination Meeting on the Institutional Interests of Nanchang West Outer Ring Expressway and Jiangxi-Guangdong Expressway on December 7, 2006 (hereinafter referred to as the Minutes of the Meeting) and the Reply of Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission and Jiangxi Provincial Department of Transportation on agreeing to re-approve the toll years of Nanchang-Zhangshu Expressway and the toll standards of Yaohu Bridge (hereinafter referred to as the Reply).

The "Minutes of the Meeting" showed that the toll station in Shengzhuang was moved to Changgang, Shengmi Town, and the southwest toll station in Nanchang was set up. The charging mileage started and ended at Changlong Interchange of Changjiu Expressway, which was approved by the Provincial Price Bureau. The "reply" shows that it is agreed to extend the toll period of Changyi Expressway for 14 years and 9 months.

Ms. Wu said that the high-speed group belongs to a listed company, and all charges are based, and there is no illegal charge.

Hu Mei Store, a citizen, bluntly said that from the documents, the Expressway Group was indeed well-founded, but they ignored an important fact, that is, the rapid rise of Kowloon Lake New Town.

"Twelve years ago, in 2007, the provincial toll station was demolished and the southwest toll station was officially opened. At that time, Nanchang Jiulong Lake was still a village, and Shangchang Southwest Toll Station had to take Fengsheng Expressway first. The starting and ending point of the charging mileage is Changleng Interchange, which we can accept. But now with the rise of Jiulong Lake New Town, Pingxiang Street, a municipal road, has been directly built at the entrance of the southwest toll station. Coupled with the frequent congestion of Fengsheng Expressway, many car owners prefer to avoid Fengsheng Expressway and choose to take the expressway on the municipal road of Jiulong Lake such as Pingxiang Street. It is out of date to charge again. " Hu Mei store said.

In fact, the reporter also noticed that the "Meeting Minutes" in 2006 clearly pointed out that "the above scheme operates as a transitional scheme, and when the development of Chang-north city needs to transform the old expressway, the Nanchang Municipal Government and the Provincial Communications Department will study and propose a new mode of operation."

Citizen’s advice: increase identification system and fine charge.

A paper of minutes of the meeting in 2006 became the "Shangfang Sword" of the southwest toll station.

However, many citizens believe that with the improvement of municipal supporting facilities, most people will choose Kowloon Avenue to Pingxiang Avenue instead of Fengsheng Expressway, which has been repaired and repaired for years.

If you don’t provide services, why do you still collect money? In response to this focus, Wang Jianxia, deputy director of the charge management department, pointed out that some citizens drove on Fengsheng Expressway, but they went down halfway, which was equivalent to free; Some citizens came up from Pingxiang Street and went directly to the toll booth, which was equivalent to being "wronged". From a technical point of view, at present, it is impossible to distinguish which car owners are profitable and which car owners are losing money. In other words, there is no way to solve it. Wang Jianxia said.

However, during the interview, many citizens also gave advice to the expressway group. Whether the vehicles have taken the Fengsheng Expressway or not can be completely identified by technical means, such as adding an identification system along the Fengsheng Expressway or adding an identification system on Pingxiang Street, so that fine charges can be achieved.

"It’s just that the high-speed group is’ pretending to be confused’, unwilling to invest, and even more unwilling to’ profit’." Hu Mei store said.

Wang Jianxia said that the proposal to increase the billing identification system is not feasible unless another toll station is added in Pingxiang Street. "We are a listed company, and we need to make money here and be responsible to the shareholders; There is also a call for the toll station to reduce fees and move away, and it is responsible to the citizens. It is not easy for us to make money! "

Expert: In the face of the new situation, we cannot simply apply the old methods.

Cha Weixiong, Institute of Transportation and Economics, East China Jiaotong University, pointed out that in the face of new situations and new problems, the high-speed department, regardless of the willy-nilly, took the money first, which was a simple and rude way to deal with complex problems, leading to unfairness. "Old documents obviously don’t adapt to the development of the new situation. If you don’t take the highway, you have to be charged. Why? The high-speed department should come up with its own basis and regulations. If not, it should find the problem itself and find a solution to the problem. " Cha Weixiong said.

Xiong Jinguang, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Law School of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, said that the expressway itself is a public service product. When determining the charging standard and price, the government should not only consider the economic interests of the expressway investment subject (enterprise), but also pay attention to the publicity and public welfare of the expressway. In fact, the original intention of the relocation of expressway toll stations should be to reduce toll sections and traffic costs. However, the relocation of the southwest toll station has neither shortened the charging mileage nor reduced the charging amount. In particular, they did not take the Fengsheng Expressway and were automatically charged, which obviously violated the principle of market economy.

"It seems to be a question of whether the charging standard for the relocation of toll stations should be changed accordingly, and it also reflects whether government departments and high-speed groups can really solve public problems from the perspective of paying attention to and serving people’s livelihood." Xiong Jinguang said.

Lawyer Tao Lilan of Beijing Yingke Law Firm (Nanchang) bluntly said that he was charged for not taking the Fengsheng Expressway, and could not find any theoretical basis and legal provisions, which obviously belonged to arbitrary charges.

She said that in recent years, unreasonable commercialization of public goods, opaque financial situation and imperfect relevant laws and regulations have led to many chaos on expressways. Faced with this problem, the public generally choose to eat "dumb losses" because of the small amount involved and high litigation costs. To solve this problem, first, it is the general trend to improve transparency, consciously accept public supervision and disclose the details of fees to the society; Second, special treatment should be carried out on the charging standards, and strict principles and operating methods should be established in the system to ensure that there are laws to follow.

Introduction of the bidding city for the 2016 Olympic Games: Madrid, Spain


The famous Plaza Mayor, the statue of Spanish King Philippe III le Bon riding a horse stands in the center of the square.

  Madrid, the capital of Spain, is a famous historical city in Europe. Located in the center of Iberian Peninsula at the southernmost tip of the European continent, located on the Meseta Plateau, with an altitude of 670 meters, it is the highest capital city in Europe. The terrain is blocked, the climate is continental, the precipitation is less, and the annual temperature difference is larger. The average temperature is 4.8℃ in January, 25℃ in July, and the annual precipitation is 425mm. The urban area is 607 square kilometers, including suburbs and satellite towns, with an area of 1,020 square kilometers and a population of 3.6 million, making it the largest city in Spain. It is the national economic and transportation center.

  Before the 11th century, it was a Moorish fortress, which was called "Ma Gelett" in ancient times. In 1561, King Philip II of Spain moved the capital here. It developed into a big city in the 19th century. During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, the famous battle of Madrid was fought here.

  Madrid has a wealth of cultural relics, many places of interest and world-famous painting exhibition hall Prado Museum. Modern high-rise buildings in the city and ancient buildings with different styles stand shoulder to shoulder and set each other off. Woods, lawns, fountains with unique shapes and fountains carved with the statue of Nibele, the goddess of nature respected by ancient Asia Minor, are the most attractive. The magnificent Alcala Gate is located in the Independence Square on the street of Alcala. It has five arches and is one of the famous ancient buildings in Madrid. The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education and the main banks in Spain are located on both sides of Alcala Street. The Wangjia Academy of Fine Arts, which was built in 1752, collects masterpieces by Spanish artists such as Renzhiluo and Goya. The towering Cervantes monument stands in the Spanish square, with statues of Don Quixote and Sanco Panza in front of it, and the huge monument is reflected in the pool in front, with lush trees on both sides; The Spanish skyscraper known as the "Tower of Madrid" is located on one side of the square.

  The famous Plaza Mayol, located in the southwest of the city, was built in 1619.
