　　　 1. The data in this bulletin are preliminary statistics, in which the energy consumption data are preliminary audited by the National Bureau of Statistics.

　　　 2. The absolute figures of the GDP and the added value of various industries in Hunan Province are calculated at current prices, and the growth rate is calculated at comparable prices.

　　　 3. The permanent population refers to the population whose household registration is in the local area and has lived there for more than half a year, the population who lives in the local area and whose household registration is not in the local area but has left the household registration for more than half a year, and the population who lives in the local area and whose household registration is to be determined. The calculation formula is: resident population = registered population-population whose household registration is local but has left the household registration place for more than half a year+population who lives locally but has left the household registration place for more than half a year+population who lives locally and has an undetermined household registration place. The number of permanent residents in 2008 used in this bulletin is inferred from this year’s population sampling survey.

CCTV News:Recently, some media have received complaints from consumers, saying that the mobile phone of their loved ones has been charged a roaming package fee called "Family Province", and the roaming fee for mobile phones has been cancelled as early as 2017. Why do you keep charging for services that have been cancelled? China Mobile’s customer service responded that users will always charge by default if they don’t take the initiative to cancel.

The reporter searched on the internet complaint platform and found that the phenomenon of unknown deduction and hidden charges by the three major operators still occurs from time to time. However, the above phenomenon has not been paid enough attention due to factors such as being difficult to be discovered, involving a small amount of money and high cost of safeguarding rights.

Roaming fee cancellation package is still charged. Customer service: users will always charge by default if they don’t take the initiative to cancel.

Recently, Mr. Zhao found that the mobile phone of the elderly at home has been charged the "family province" package fee. Mr. Zhao said that because the elderly at home had worked in the field for a period of time before retirement, he handled this business for the elderly at that time in order to save communication fees.

Mr. Zhao said that he had forgotten that there was still this set meal, because the amount was not much, and the old people at home didn’t pay attention to it every time the fee was deducted. However, recently, when he was helping the elderly to sort out unused mobile phone numbers, he found that the bills of the past few years also included this package fee.

But what puzzles him is that as early as September 2017, the three major operators have cancelled long-distance and roaming charges nationwide, so why has this package been deducted? "Roaming fees are not collected. What’s the point of this package? Why doesn’t the move cancel actively? "

In view of this situation, Beijing Mobile Phone Customer Service said that the "domestic roaming plan" service requires users to send SMS to unsubscribe, otherwise even if the service no longer exists, the fee will still be deducted. The customer service staff said that "the cancelled business will also generate package charges" is a system problem, and he can’t solve it, so he can only apply to the superior for handling.

According to the "China Mobile Communication Customer Network Access Service Agreement" officially issued by Beijing Mobile, it is clearly stipulated that "in case of unified adjustment of the tariff standard by the competent government department, this agreement will be implemented at the specified time according to the adjusted tariff standard by the competent government department." Obviously, Mobile has not fulfilled its promise in the agreement. In the face of the business that the government has already stipulated that it will no longer charge, Mobile is still charging the package fee.

Why are the services of nearly 200,000 operators always unsatisfactory?

In 2016, when Mr. Li of Xuzhou handled the mobile phone number under his personal name, Mobile handled the business of phone bill withholding and color ring back tone for him on the grounds that he recommended to bind the family number for free. Later, the mobile phone number was abandoned for many years. On February 14th this year, while checking the phone bill for his family, Mr. Li learned that the previously abandoned mobile phone number had been deducting the phone bill from his family, with a total deduction of 1,728 yuan.

"I haven’t received any reminder from the operator for so many years. I called 10086 customer service to complain, and it’s been ten days, and I didn’t get a satisfactory result." Mr. Li said that Xuzhou Mobile was willing to refund its CRBT fee for two years later, but he was not satisfied.

Mr. Li hopes that Mobile can compensate all the expenses deducted from the mobile phone number in the past six years. At the same time, he thinks that the services provided by Mobile are suspected of fraud. According to the relevant provisions of the Consumer Protection Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), Mobile should pay it a total of 6,912 yuan according to the principle of "one refund and three losses". Mr. Li revealed that he had filed a complaint on the complaint platform on February 27 this year, but he has not received a substantive response from Mobile.

Like Mr. Li, waiting for the mobile response, there is Ms. Yang who was "inexplicably" opened the monthly traffic package business last week. Ms. Yang said that she had successfully drawn a member of a video website when she participated in an APP lottery. After entering her mobile phone number and verification code, she immediately received a short message from China Mobile, saying that she had launched the mobile "30 yuan 10G monthly subscription" package.

"I don’t want to open this business. I contacted the mobile APP customer service early the next morning to cancel this package, but the other party told me that I couldn’t cancel it, and I had to wait for the operator to contact me." On the morning of that day, Ms. Yang called the customer service staff several times, and the other party responded that it could not be cancelled. In the meantime, Mobile never contacted her. "When it was opened, it was only necessary to receive a verification code. When canceling the business, the consumer could not cancel it after many twists and turns."

The above two consumers are not alone. Only on the complaint platform of Black Cat, there are nearly 200,000 complaints against China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, while there are more than 100,000 complaints against China Mobile. Through combing, CCTV reporters found that these complaints include the automatic deduction of the changed package without the user’s knowledge, the difficulty of inducing the opening of a new package and canceling it, and the automatic deduction of the package after exceeding the traffic.

(Complaints against the three major operators on the black cat complaint platform)

Lawyer: Operators should take the initiative to disclose the changes of charges to consumers, and suggest canceling the charges for caller ID of mobile phones.

Zhou Shihong, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, vice president of Anhui Lawyers Association and director of Anhui Tianrui Law Firm, said that the above-mentioned operators’ operation methods have infringed on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Lawyer Zhou explained that in most cases, the amount involved in the hidden deduction of fees by operators is usually small, and the cost of rights protection is relatively high, so many consumers can’t choose it.

In addition, "there is still information asymmetry, and it is difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference between many packages provided by operators", so many consumers have been "accidentally" handled a certain business, and some have found it after a long time, but it is very difficult to cancel it. Lawyer Zhou believes that as an operator, it should take the initiative to disclose and inform consumers of the changing charging rules. "What should be collected should not be collected, which is related to the honest operation of enterprises."

During the interview, Mr. Zhou also introduced to the CCTV reporter the proposal he put forward at the two sessions this year about "telecom operators canceling the charges for caller ID of mobile phones". Similar to the "hidden charges" mentioned in this article, some respondents said that they still don’t know that operators are charging users for caller ID fees at present.

Lawyer Zhou found in the investigation that the charging standards of different operators in different regions are not the same, which are generally below 10 yuan per household per month, ranging from 3 to 6 yuan. Some of them are included in the tariff package, and some directly indicate the caller ID fee. At present, there are about 1.6 billion mobile phone users in China. According to the fact that 50% of the users open the caller ID function, the annual caller ID fee charged by operators is 28.8 billion yuan based on the monthly 3 yuan of each household. In addition, some fixed telephones also charge for caller ID.

Lawyer Zhou believes that, first, caller ID charges are out of touch with costs. In today’s technical conditions, "caller ID" is the standard function of communication equipment, and the cost of providing "caller ID" function for operators is almost negligible (in reality, operators have never disclosed the cost basis of caller ID charging).

Second, the operator charges the caller ID fee, but it is not responsible for the wrong caller ID. In recent years, the number of online telecom fraud cases is increasing day by day, and more than 90% of them are fraudulent by tampering with telephone numbers. Criminals use or tamper with the caller ID, display the wrong number to mislead the owner and commit fraud, but operators are not responsible for this. Therefore, in order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of users, we should further standardize the charging behavior of telecom operators.

On the evening of March 18th, at Chery’s press conference, Chery officially announced that it would officially "resurrect" the QQ model and adopt the pure electric mode. However, from the press conference, compared with the previous version of the national car fuel car, this Chery QQ, which will be listed at the Shanghai Auto Show, is no longer an A00-class car, and it is expected to be an A0 or even an A-class pure electric car.

With its low price and lovely appearance, the first generation of Chery QQ did successfully break through 10,000 monthly sales after its release in 2005. At its peak, Chery QQ occupied 60% of the mini-car market, and its cumulative sales exceeded 1.4 million. However, with the consumption upgrade of consumers in China, the sales volume of Chery QQ gradually declined, and it stopped production in 2014.

At the end of the model, Chery also tried to counterattack and launched QQ me, which was positioned as a light luxury, but it was vomited by consumers because of its avant-garde style. The model was discontinued two years after its launch, with a total sales volume of less than 2,000 units. This also shows that for consumers, the customers of A00-class cars always rank in an important position in terms of face value.

For Chery’s resurrection of this car, in fact, the previous comments were mixed. You should know that the resurrection of Fengyun series has also been controversial. But such a classic IP is also the only way for Chery to resurrect. After all, both SMART and other classic brands have launched their own pure electric series. From this point of view, Chery’s resurrection of QQ may be a win-win situation for domestic sentimental consumers.

However, after this model goes on the market, it will encounter the combined attack of 600,000-100,000 A0 pure electric vehicles such as Volkswagen ID.3, Geely, etc. Besides the sentimental advantages of the name, what outstanding advantages QQ can break through is the most important part for Chery.

So do you think Chery QQ can win market attention and even sales after listing? Please leave a message for discussion.

On July 30th, Huang Qiang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor, presided over a video dispatching meeting on the prevention and control of the emergency headquarters epidemic in COVID-19, stressing the need to seriously study and profoundly understand the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, adhere to and make good use of the positions, viewpoints and methods that run through it, and resolutely implement the general policy of "dynamically clearing" and the important guiding spirit of "preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy and ensuring safe development". In accordance with the requirements of Wang Xiaohui, secretary of the provincial party Committee, we should adhere to the principle of putting people first and life first, firmly establish the bottom line thinking and extreme thinking, take the fastest and most resolute action to encircle the enemy’s forces and put them out, realize social clearing as soon as possible, and try our best to win this round of epidemic encounter and stop the war, so as to minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.

Huang Qiang pointed out that our province has recently been hit by two rounds of epidemic superposition. With the joint efforts of all of us, the epidemic risks in many places have been continuously reduced or controlled. The "July 15th" epidemic has basically ended, and the prevention and control of the "July 20th" epidemic is at a critical moment. All localities and departments must further raise their awareness, clearly realize that building a defense line against the epidemic is the premise of doing all the work well, implement the deployment of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government to the letter, continue to check and plug loopholes, concentrate on tackling key problems, fully block the virus transmission chain, and resolutely avoid indecision, indecision and indecision, and resolutely prevent the epidemic from tailing.

Huang Qiang stressed the need to deal with the current epidemic quickly and decisively. Chengdu should pay close attention to the core task of chasing the sun and breaking the chain, carry out tough actions, implement hierarchical classification prevention and control measures, upgrade the management and control, and the static management area should really calm down and resolutely chase the sun and break the chain in the shortest time; Other cities with epidemic situations should "catch all the infected people" as soon as possible in combination with the actual situation, and do a solid job in finishing the work to prevent new imported epidemic situations; All localities should pay close attention to the strict and detailed investigation of risk personnel to ensure that no one is missed and control is in place. We should profoundly learn from experience and lessons, and always be prepared for winning a new round of encounter and blocking warfare. We will not slacken our efforts in implementing the "inspection when entering Sichuan", neither overweight at different levels, nor put guns into storage, and lose our armor. We will guard the "national gate" and "provincial gate" to quickly and effectively improve the ability to deal with the epidemic situation, dynamically optimize the normalized prevention and control measures according to the situation, fully consider the extreme situation of the superposition of epidemic situation and disaster, and establish a flat command system with cities and States as units. Once an epidemic situation occurs, the main leaders of municipal party committees and governments will both take the lead and go out. It is necessary to strengthen care for frontline medical staff and community workers in epidemic prevention and control, scientifically organize rotation and rest, carry out "send cool" activities, and increase publicity. We should stick to the bottom line of safety, pay close attention to flood control and disaster reduction, production safety, social security and other work with the sense of responsibility of "always worrying", and spare no effort to protect people’s lives and property.

The epidemic prevention and control team informed the current epidemic situation and the next step. Chengdu, chenghua district, Deyang, Neijiang, Living Materials Support Group, Transportation Group, Public Security Department and Provincial Big Data Center made speeches.

Dominic Frisby, a gold analyst and founder of Flying Frisby, said that the officially disclosed gold holdings in China are far from the reality. He said that China is secretly buying a large amount of gold, which is twice as much as that of the United States. He thought that the country could consider supporting the RMB with gold. He predicted that the price of gold will reach $3,000 next year, and bitcoin will exceed $100,000.

According to the latest data from China, the Bank of China bought gold for the 12th consecutive month in October. The World Gold Council (WGC) reported that the latest purchase was about 23 tons, increasing the total holdings to 2,215 tons. Generally speaking, the China government has recently become one of the largest gold reserves, and the central bank’s gold purchases seem to have reached a record high this year.

Frisbie told Kitco News that although China has become the leader in gold accumulation, the actual figures are much more important.

"They are gently announcing the news, and China is ambitious," Frisbie said. "I may study this problem more deeply than anyone else, and I will tell you why China’s gold holdings may be 10 times what they say. The mathematical calculation in this regard is very simple."

China is the world’s largest producer and importer of gold, but Frisbie said that its motto is "We can’t be too dazzling".
