Edited by Wu Shixue and Michelle ChenMiao

Opening:

On December 4, 2019, the first "China Kangyang 30 People" Forum was held. Gao Jianguang, director of the Capital Utilization Supervision Department of the Insurance Company of the Ministry of Finance of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China, revealed that by the end of September this year, 10 insurance institutions including China Life Insurance, Taikang Life Insurance and Taiping Life Insurance had invested in 47 community projects for the aged, which were distributed in 20 provinces and cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hainan, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Anhui, with a total bed size.

At the same time, the total amount of insurance funds invested in private equity investment funds in the upstream and downstream medical and health industries of pension and pension industries has reached 234.782 billion yuan.

According to the Report on the Development Model and Practice of Long-term Care Insurance in China issued by CPIC Allianz, it is estimated that the market size of China’s pension real estate will reach 7.7 trillion yuan in 2020 and 22.3 trillion yuan in 2030.

Three large insurance companies: China Ping An, China Taiping and Taikang Insurance invested more than 41 billion yuan in the field of pension real estate. Insurance companies such as China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, Sunshine Life Insurance, Hezhong Life Insurance, Qianhai Life Insurance, Evergrande Life Insurance, Junkang Life Insurance and Renhe Life Insurance have also announced or substantially intervened in the investment in the old-age community, and the total investment and planned investment has exceeded 100 billion yuan.

It can be seen that since 2006, insurance companies represented by Hezhong and Taikang entered the pension industry, the natural complementary gene of insurance+pension has been fully verified, and the insurance department has become one of the important forces participating in the investment+operation of the pension industry, and more innovative models will be born in the future.

This time, AgeLifePro will systematically review the motivation, participation mode, development process and future trend of insurance companies participating in the pension industry, hoping to bring some valuable reference to the pension industry.

part1

Why do insurance companies have laid out their pensions one after another?

one

policy support

The policy has experienced a progressive process from caution, to liberalization, and then to rational regulation. In 2009, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Measures for Insurance Investment in Real Estate and the Measures for Insurance Investment in Equity, which allowed insurance companies to invest in real estate and corporate equity, thus opening the prelude to policies to encourage insurance companies to enter the pension industry.

On November 19th, 2009, with the support of policies, China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Notice on Filing Taikang-Pension Community Equity Investment Plan, and approved Taikang to set up a pension community. In 2010, Taikang House was established, which indicated that the policy of insurance investment for the aged really landed.

Figure: Measures for the Administration of the Use of Insurance Funds

After the insurance companies have invested heavily in assets, the policies have become more rational and perfect. On January 24, 2018, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued the Administrative Measures for the Use of Insurance Funds (the "Measures for the Use of New Insurance Funds"). The new measures have two new principles: First, the use of insurance funds must be aimed at serving the insurance industry (that is, the well-known "insurance surname"), and second, the use of insurance funds should adhere to independent operation and not be interfered by shareholders in violation of regulations.

In addition, the new measures for the use of insurance funds and the Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Insurance Industry in China issued by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission also mentioned that insurance funds should be allowed to invest in asset securitization products, broaden the service fields of insurance funds, and innovate the use methods of insurance funds (encouraging the establishment of professional insurance asset management institutions such as real estate, infrastructure and pension, and allowing professional insurance asset management institutions to set up mezzanine funds, merger and acquisition funds, real estate funds, etc.).

Focus on the development of insurance companies themselves

1. Investing in heavy assets for the aged can improve the solvency of insurance companies.

In the early days of insurance companies entering the pension industry, the investment speed of insurance companies is very fast. By investing in the pension community, we can evaluate and increase the value, create income on the books and improve the solvency. However, it is worth mentioning that after 2017, due to the control of the proportion and solvency of large-scale assets by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the feast of evaluating and increasing the value of insurance companies’ investment in pension communities will no longer be available, and insurance companies will no longer be able to obtain solvency, but will be discounted accordingly.

2. It is conducive to alleviating the pressure of "mismatch between long and short" of insurance funds.

There are abundant insurance funds and a large number of investable assets, but at present, the funds mainly enter short-term investment channels such as bank deposits and government bonds, and the investment channels are relatively single, resulting in a mismatch in the maturity of assets and liabilities. As a comprehensive service industry, providing for the aged needs a certain amount of time to settle the service. Considering the long construction period of the old-age community and apartments for the elderly, it also needs a long-term and stable source of funds. Matching the two can alleviate the pressure of "mismatch between long and short" of insurance funds.

3. Promote policy sales.

Figure: Policy sales of listed companies docking with pension communities

The expiration and renewal of commercial insurance has always affected the stable operation of insurance companies. Insurance companies link insurance products with pension services and pension real estate membership, which can increase the attractiveness of insurance products, form differentiated competition, provide customers with more choices, improve customer stickiness and promote policy sales.

According to the survey of 21st century business herald, in 2019, CPIC issued 7,906 qualification letters for the elderly community; The occupancy qualification of Taiping Pension Community Project drove the initial premium of about HK$ 5.6 billion, and the contribution rate of the initial premium reached 18.8%, which became an important contribution force for Taiping’s life insurance companies to promote the growth of new orders.

4. Extend the industrial chain

The rapid development of the old-age care industry has spawned more and more formats. In addition to large-scale old-age care communities with heavy assets, there are also various lightweight service projects covering all aspects of the lives of the elderly. The distribution of insurance funds for the aged can deepen the existing life insurance customers, create services for the elderly around the whole life cycle, link up with engineering insurance, and link down with medical insurance, nursing insurance, endowment insurance, door-to-door service, etc., and then drive the overall development of the company and provide the comprehensive income of the company.

part2

Six innovative modes of insurance enterprises participating in pension industry

one

Real estate investment model based on old-age community

Since Taikang Home built a large-scale community for the aged (CCRC) on a large scale, this model has also become the "correct" idea for insurance companies to intervene in the elderly. This model is based on real estate, and only with the right to use or property rights of real estate can we get the corresponding pension services.

This investment model attaches great importance to asset layout, which can give full play to the comprehensive advantages of insurance companies and integrate development, investment and operation. At the initial stage of entering the pension industry, it was favored by some head insurance companies.

Under the old-age real estate model, the elderly can live in by paying a deposit and a monthly fee, or they can become members, or they can buy relevant insurance products to lock in the right to live in the old-age community in advance. Union Life’s insurance policy+physical endowment insurance plan, Taikang’s "Happiness with a Contract" insurance product innovatively links virtual insurance products with physical communities.

While Taikang, Taiping and China Life successively built large-scale old-age care communities and sold the right to use them, Ping An Real Estate Co., Ltd. also launched the first old-age care project that can sell property rights in Tongxiang City, Zhejiang Province.

In addition to the typical CCRC product types, everyone insurance cooperates with BTG to build an urban pension complex by means of light asset leasing; New China Life Insurance transformed its office building into an apartment for the elderly and a rehabilitation hospital, which means that insurance companies have begun to cover the "urban institutional pension scene".

2

The service mode of going deep into the scene of community home-based care for the aged.

This model mainly provides old-age services for the elderly at home in the community. Insurance companies take advantage of their abundant policy information to provide corresponding intermediary services and charge relevant intermediary fees. This model has a good development prospect in the future under the overall situation that community homes occupy the mainstream of old-age care in China.

Because insurance companies only appear as service intermediaries or traffic platforms in this mode, the investment is light, and large, medium and small insurance companies can participate.

Love Life launched the industry’s first "Love+Home Care Product Plan" and became a leading explorer in the field of home care. This product includes a complete set of home care service system and builds an efficient service platform. Combining medical care with nursing care, through the "1+N" consulting professional service, we can solve the comprehensive needs of medical care, pension, nursing and rehabilitation in one stop.

In the early days of entering the old-age care industry, Taikang also took community home-based care for the elderly as the entry point. In January 2008, Taikang Home Wangjing Senior Club officially opened, but this exploration was unsuccessful, which eventually prompted Taikang to choose the heavy asset CCRC model.

three

Establish a professional endowment insurance institution

Since the establishment of the first pension insurance company in December 2004, there are currently nine professional pension insurance institutions in China, namely, caring for the elderly, China Life Pension, Taiping Pension, Yangtze Pension, Taikang Pension, Ping ‘an Pension, Xinhua Pension, Everyone Pension and Hengan Standard Pension, all of which were initiated by medium and large insurance groups.

The core business of pension insurance companies can be divided into trust-based asset management business and contractual commercial insurance business. Trust-based asset management business mainly includes enterprise annuity, occupational annuity, pension products, old-age security management products and third-party asset management business (issuing insurance asset management products and conducting fund management in special accounts of third-party institutions). Contractual commercial insurance business mainly includes health insurance, accident insurance and pension insurance. The specific business situation varies depending on the business development path of each insurance company.

Innovation of financial products for the aged

Figure: China’s three-pillar pension system

This model fits the insurance company’s industry. On the one hand, insurance companies can enrich the supply of commercial endowment insurance products and meet the differentiated endowment insurance needs of customers. Support qualified commercial insurance institutions to actively participate in personal tax deferred commercial pension annuity insurance and innovate housing reverse mortgage pension model. Happiness Life Insurance and People’s Life Insurance both operate reverse mortgage insurance business for personal housing pension.

On the other hand, participate in long-term care insurance. At present, the policy is vigorously encouraging commercial insurance to enter the field of nursing insurance. With the gradual expansion of the pilot scope of the long-term care insurance system, commercial insurance companies can play more roles in the future, and work with the government, individuals and other relevant parties to open up the payment system and promote the development of community embedded institutions. Taikang, China Life Insurance and Qianhai Life Insurance all participated in or calculated to participate in the field of long-term insurance.

five

Construct an ecological circle of insurance+medical care+pension

In this mode, insurance companies often pay attention to medical investment, and give full play to the comprehensive advantages of insurance, medical care and service from both online and online perspectives, so as to build a service ecosystem and realize the closed-loop business of B2B2C, in which pension is an important part.

Figure: Ping An Health Care Service Chain

Ping An has created an "insurance+health care" ecosystem, striving to achieve an online+offline health ecosystem of "upstream health prevention, midstream economic compensation and downstream medical services", and provide customers with life-cycle health management and medical services.

Photo: Pacific Insurance "Insurance+Health+Pension" Ecosphere

Similarly, one of the important directions of CPIC Pension Transformation 2.0 is to build an "insurance+health+pension" ecosystem. Among them, "Pacific Insurance Blueprint" medical service, "Pacific Insurance Wonderful Health" health interaction plan and "CWI Health Examination Center" constitute the "insurance+health" ecosystem; Through its life insurance companies, pension investment companies, Yangtze River pension, and cooperation with Pacific Oubaoting and third-party service providers, it constitutes an "insurance+pension" ecosystem. These two ecological circles can cooperate with the main insurance industry and realize ecological integration.

Sunshine Life Insurance and Qianhai Life Insurance respectively invested in the establishment of Sunshine Fusion Hospital and Guangzhou General Hospital of Qianhai Life Insurance, believing that there will be a further layout in building a healthy ecosystem in the future.

Underwriting comprehensive liability insurance for pension institutions

The daily operation of old-age care institutions will face various risks, and building a sound risk prevention and control system has become an important part of the smooth operation of old-age care institutions. Especially for some large-scale old-age care institutions, asking professional insurance companies to design relevant risk protection products can effectively avoid losses and prevent accidents.

According to the Notice of Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau on Relevant Matters Concerning the Implementation of Comprehensive Liability Insurance for Aged Services (J.M.F.F. [2012] No.424), in September 2012, People’s Insurance Company, Ping ‘an Company and China Life Company became comprehensive liability insurance underwriting companies for aged services in Beijing through government bidding.

The development course of insurance enterprises’ layout pension.

Review of the course of insurance enterprises building old-age community

2006-2012: Reference and Exploration Stage

Taikang, Hezhong, China Life Insurance and other insurance companies have visited the United States and Japan to inspect the operation experience of mature old-age communities and explore the construction and operation methods of old-age communities. In November 2009, Taikang Life Insurance took the lead in obtaining the permission of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission to obtain the pilot qualification of investing in the old-age community.

2012-2015: Initial stage of construction

The idea of insurance companies investing in the old-age community has become clear, and the old-age communities invested by insurance companies such as Taikang, Xinhua, Hezhong, Ping An and Taiping have been opened one after another.

In June 2012, the foundation stone was laid for "Taikang House-Yanyuan";

In June 2012, the foundation stone was laid for Xinhua Life Insurance "Xinhua Home" in Beijing;

In September 2012, the "Comprehensive Service Community for Health Care and Pension" invested by Ping An Life Insurance Company of China landed in Tongxiang, Zhejiang;

In October 2013, Hezhong Life Insurance established the first insurance pension community in China-"Wuhan Hezhong Younian Life Pension Community";

In October 2014, the foundation stone of "Wutong Family" of Taiping Life Insurance was laid in Shanghai …

2015-present: accelerate the layout stage

Insurance companies have accelerated the layout, more insurance companies have joined, and they have participated in the old-age care in different cities across the country in two ways: heavy assets and light assets.

By 2020, Taikang has laid out key provinces and cities in China, covering 22 cities in the core areas such as Beijing-Tianjin Wing, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Southwest China and Central China, among which 7 communities have opened, forming a chain operation trend in the east, west, north and south of the country;

China Life has the layout of Guoshou Jiayuan Yunjing (Beijing), Yijing (Tianjin), Lejing (Tianjin) and Yajing (Suzhou), and it also has two home-based retirement projects: Guoshou Kang Xin Community Yikang Home and Guoshou Fubao Community Yikang Home.

Taiping Life Insurance’s old-age community, Shanghai Taiping Wutong Family and Taiping Town Haitang Family, has now opened. In addition, Taiping cooperation projects include Shanghai Happy Home, Ningbo Xingjian Lanting, Dalian Yifang Yijinghui, Kunming Ancient Yunnan Famous City, and Beijing Contemporary Time;

The layout of China Pacific Insurance includes Chengdu International Support Community, Hangzhou International Support Community and Dali International Music Support Community. These three projects have all started, but they have not yet opened …

In addition, insurance companies such as Junkang Life Insurance, Tongfang Global Life Insurance, China Insurance, PICC Life Insurance and Guohua Life Insurance also began to provide for the elderly through investment or cooperation during this period.

2

The insurance companies formally laid out the time point for providing for the aged.

Judging from the time when the insurance companies formally laid out the old-age pension, most of the insurance companies that entered the old-age pension in the early days were large-scale insurance companies, and most of them laid out heavy assets. With the development of time, more and more small and medium-sized insurance companies are also involved in the cause of providing for the aged, and the old-age projects under construction have also changed from CCRC to apartments for the elderly to community home services. In addition, the way insurance companies participate in providing for the aged is more flexible and diverse.

part4

The echelon and location layout of insurance companies to develop old-age care

one

Layout of the four major insurance company echelons for the aged

Looking at the layout of these insurance companies, we can find that they have shown four echelons:

The first echelon is Taikang, Taibao and China Life, which have a clear style of play. Investing in the community for the aged with heavy assets has achieved remarkable results, insisting on the initial intention to continue the national layout, and attaching importance to the combination of medical care and rehabilitation nursing resources allocation.

The second echelon is Taiping and Hezhong. From the original intention to build their own old-age communities in many cities, they finally chose to change from heavy to light, and retreat to advance by means of equity cooperation and acquisition of nursing homes, which can not only reduce the "heavy", but also cut into the key areas of the old-age industrial chain and play an important role in the old-age market in the future.

The third echelon, represented by Xinhua and Ping ‘an, has long been laying out the old-age care and has certain strategic plans, but it is in a state of shallow taste and cautious wait-and-see for the development of old-age real estate.

The fourth echelon is represented by less well-known insurance companies such as Happiness Life Insurance, China Insurance, Love Life Insurance, Guohua Life Insurance, etc. Its mode of developing old-age care is extremely light, and it is innovating and exploring in a certain field. At present, it is mostly in the initial stage of old-age care.

2

The layout of insurance enterprises and the national and urban layout of providing for the aged

 

1. National layout

From the nationwide layout, Taikang Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, China Life Insurance and Hezhong Life Insurance are all based on the whole country, mainly CCRC.

Among them, Taikang Life Insurance has formed a nationwide chain layout, linking 22 cities, with the earliest and most perfect layout.

At present, the community under China Pacific Insurance is still in the process of preparation, which is firmly carried out in accordance with the layout of "East-West Progress, North-South Echo, National Layout and All-Age Chain", and has formed a trinity product system of "suburban support (middle-aged elderly people aged 70-79), living and enjoying (young elderly people aged 50-69) and urban support (over 80)".

China Life has implemented the "three points and one line, evergreen all the year round" pension industry layout, and some of its pension projects are still slowly advancing.

From the beginning, Union Life planned to deploy in second-tier cities nationwide, and finally contracted its strategy. At present, its main projects are located in Wuhan, Shenyang and Nanning, and some private nursing homes have been acquired in the Yangtze River Delta.

Different from the national layout of the above four insurance companies, Taiping Life Insurance has established itself in the Yangtze River Delta, and gradually cooperated with neighboring projects such as Ningbo and even the whole country, such as Dalian, Kunming and Shenzhen, from Shanghai to the whole country. Shouhou Everyone, New China Life Insurance and Sunshine Insurance occupy the layout of pension projects in Beijing. Qianhai Life Insurance started from Shenzhen, and will have strategies in Xi ‘an, Nanning, Chengdu and Hainan in the future.

Photo: Everyone’s insurance travel series

Considering the development of the residence market, cities such as Sanya, Dalian, Kunming and Hangzhou are also favored by insurance companies. Insurance companies such as Taikang, Taiping and Hezhong, which have laid out national pension projects, can develop their residence business with the help of pension projects laid out in cities across the country. There are also some insurance companies that have plans to lay out their travel business, such as the travel series products that everyone intends to develop.

2. Urban location layout

In terms of urban location layout, from June 2012, when the foundation stone was laid for Yanyuan, the first old-age care community in Taikang, Beijing, insurance institutions started to build large-scale high-quality old-age care communities in the suburbs, entered the urban areas, and successively laid out some high-quality old-age care institutions. At present, insurance companies such as China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, and Everyone Insurance have all set up pension institutions in urban areas, thus forming a "urban+suburban" product line with full coverage.

According to Litwak, an American scholar, proper service provision for the elderly needs to go through three stages: when the health of the elderly is good, it is most beneficial to live in a community with homogeneous age; When the elderly are disabled, it is most beneficial to live in an age-homogeneous community near their children’s residence; When the degree of disability of the elderly develops to the point where they need 24-hour care, living in a nursing home is the most beneficial.

In the early days, Taikang Insurance, China Life Insurance, China Pacific Insurance, New China Life Insurance, Taiping Life Insurance, China Ping An, Hezhong Life Insurance, Junkang Life Insurance and other large and medium-sized insurance institutions laid out large-scale pension communities in the suburbs as standard. Nowadays, more and more insurance institutions have laid out pension communities in urban areas, such as:

The scheme of "one city chain 1+1" designed by Taibao Jiayuan. That is, the younger elderly can live in the Dongtan Retirement Center of Taibao Home in Chongming for a short time; Middle-aged self-care elders can live in Dongtan Retirement Center for a long time; The elderly with disabilities can be referred to Putuo Kangyang Community through the internal passage of Taibao Home to receive professional care services combining medical care and nursing, and to facilitate relatives to visit nearby;

Everyone’s insurance officer announced the layout mode of "providing for the aged in the heart of the city". At present, there are three old-age care communities located in the urban area of Beijing. In the future, we will start with light assets and lay out high-quality old-age care communities in the core area of the city, which are close to medical care, children and fireworks. "Close to the top three hospitals" will be the primary consideration for the location of old-age care communities;

New China Life Insurance transformed the office building of Liuliqiao in Beijing West Third Ring Road into a high-end nursing home with rehabilitation hospital;

China Life piloted the "Yikang Home of China Life Fubao Community" in Shenzhen.

Prospect of the future trend of insurance+pension

Stones from Other Mountains —— American Experience

Figure: Classification of old-age communities according to different service types.

According to the experience of the United States, according to the different clients, the community for the aged can be divided into six types: active elderly community (AAC), independent living community (IL), assisted living community (AL), professional nursing community (SNF), memory nursing community (MC) and continuous care community (CCRC). It can be seen that with the gradual decline of the self-care ability of the elderly, the types of services they need are more and more professional, and the requirements for the residential community are getting higher and higher, especially the ability of professional care and medical treatment.

Figure: American pension real estate operation mode

American pension real estate involves investors, developers and operators, who form a complete market-oriented system of financing, construction and operation. Among them, the project manager is separated from the holder. The mainstream investor is Real Estate Trust Fund (REITs), which is responsible for raising funds for the development and operation of the project. Developers are responsible for planning and developing pension real estate projects, and operators operate and manage well-developed projects.

Operators adopt two ways for the project. One is the net lease mode, in which REITs companies rent the property to operators, and the operators charge a fixed rental fee every year, and the operators bear the direct operating expenses, community maintenance fees, taxes, insurance fees, etc. The second is the entrusted management mode, in which REITs entrusts its properties to operators, and the operating costs and income are attributed to REITs.

In addition to REITs model, American pension communities can be divided into two different types according to the developer-led or operator-led: one is the developer-led Sun City model, which is aimed at active health of the elderly aged 55-70 and led by real estate developers, and can recover investment and generate profits through the sale of pension concept houses; The second is the CCRC model led by operators, which takes the form of renting to serve three types of elderly people: self-care, intermediary assistance and intermediary care, and only provides real estate lease rights and service enjoyment rights.

Excerpt from "2020 Senior Housing Outlook Report"

According to the "2020 Senior Housing Outlook Report" published by SHN, in 2020, Private equity, public REITs(Private REITs, Institional institutions, etc. are all buyers of housing for the elderly.

At the same time, the financing sources of American housing for the elderly have expanded, and both Private equity and Bank/Finance company have played a great role in the financing of housing for the elderly.

Five Future Trends of Insurance Companies’ Pension Development

Compared with the experience of American pension housing, it is found that the development, investment and operation of China’s pension market are still not very mature. In the past few years, the entry of some large insurance companies and real estate companies has promoted the rapid development of the pension market, but various market participants have not formed a clear division of roles, and many enterprises are integrating investment, development and operation. Until these years, this situation has changed, and there have been more cases of division of labor and cooperation based on their respective professional fields.

Photo: Taiping Life Insurance official website-Taiping Enjoy Home

For example, Taiping Life Insurance has only built Shanghai Wutong Family and the newly opened Sanya Begonia Family. The rest of the projects, such as Shanghai Happy Home, Ningbo Xingjian Lanting, Dalian Yijinghui, Kunming Ancient Yunnan Famous City, Beijing Contemporary Time Li, Suzhou Hecheng and Hangzhou Langhe International Medical Center, are all strategic cooperation projects.

In 2017, Taiping Life joined hands with a third-party organization to launch Taiping Life’s community brand-Taiping Lexiangjia. According to the plan, in the future, at least 16 cities across the country will match the resources of Taiping Lexiang Family Pension Community. Under the unified brand management, all communities in Taiping Lexiangjia carry out standardized management and formulate reasonable and consistent marketing, check-in and check-out procedures. At the same time, the community can also jointly carry out residence business.

In addition, the designated cooperative units of Taiping Life Insurance’s pension service experience include: Yuenianhua Support Center (Shenzhen), Runhua Songhe Support Center (Shenzhen) and Zangmashan Support Community (Qingdao). This mode of cooperation can further make up for the shortcomings of insurance companies in the urban distribution, scale, type and location of pension projects, and provide customers with more choices.

Take China Life as an example. At present, China Life’s community project for the aged is progressing relatively slowly, but it has made some efforts in the field of community home. On December 29th, 2020, the first comprehensive community service center for the aged in Yantian District, which was jointly established by Yantian District Government and China Life Insurance, officially opened. So far, China Life’s community home-based care projects have included: Yikang Home in Fubao Community, Yikang Home in Kang Xin Community, Yuexiang Center in Yantian District, and Youxiangjia Health Care Center in Luohu District under construction.

In addition, Bohai Life Insurance, Tianjin Daji Development Co., Ltd. and Beijing Yangzheng Investment signed a strategic cooperation on the "Home-based Care for the Aged" project in China Jihai Shipping City, Tianjin.

According to the development of the old-age community over the years, zhang yi, vice president of Junkang Life Insurance and general manager of the Health Industry Division, summed up these stages:

Among them, in the "1.0" stage, the property of real estate is stronger, and the procedure is usually in the form of property rights sales of real estate developers and basic old-age services provided by third parties;

The "2.0" stage is a relatively mainstream format with the concept of CCRC in the current market, that is, providing relatively standardized high-quality catering, medical care, care and entertainment services for the elderly in large communities;

In the future "3.0" stage, it will become a trend to realize customization and meet individual needs through science and technology. Specifically, through data mining and intelligent analysis, we can build intelligent systems including smart home, face recognition, mobile housekeeper, vital signs detection, cloud health detection, telemedicine, etc., and provide high-quality and personalized health services and living environment for the elderly through big data analysis.

Figure: Maimai Smart Pension Solution

Therefore, in the future, smart devices and technology will empower the elderly on a larger scale, and insurance companies should also be prepared for this.

On the other hand, insurance companies can also introduce some innovative practices from the main business of insurance, and provide feasible reference ideas for the innovative development of insurance and finance.

Zhu Junsheng, a researcher at the China Insurance and Pension Research Center of Tsinghua University Wudaokou Finance College, said in an interview: "With the increase of the aging population, people’s attention to risks is increasingly shifting from the risk of death to the risk of survival, and more and more attention is paid to old-age care and health … Commercial health insurance and old-age insurance can play a greater role in multi-level medical care and old-age security system."

Figure: Health insurance

As early as 2018, Ping An Insurance launched the first flagship product for the elderly group in its official APP Ping An Health: Ping An I Kangbao Geriatric Care (three-high version), which guarantees "accidental hospitalization+cancer hospitalization" and the insurance age is open to 70 years old, covering the three-high population of "hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia". And such insurance products for the elderly will be more and more.

All the above cases indicate that in the process of developing old-age care, insurance companies have formed five development trends:

1. Pay more and more attention to the direction of light assets, community home and inclusive old-age care, and be more rational and diversified in the layout of old-age care. And more and more emerging insurance companies can also intervene in the cause of providing for the aged in the form of light asset cooperation.

2. Considering the overall situation of home care and community care market, "light assets+heavy services+insurance products" may become a breakthrough point for insurance companies to realize profits in the field of pension real estate. Leaving aside the construction of large-scale old-age communities, insurance companies have a lot of room for innovation in traditional life insurance, long-term care insurance and personal commercial old-age insurance products. If they are matched with community home-based old-age care services, they can further expand the market.

3. With the country giving more support and encouragement policies to the financial innovation of insurance, in the future, insurance participation in pension can amplify the financial attributes of insurance, carry out financial innovation for C-end, and design insurance+pension products with the idea of "combining consumer insurance with savings insurance".

4. Smart devices and technology will empower the elderly on a larger scale. Insurance companies should increase investment in science and technology, break through the "fence" of communities and nursing homes, and provide accurate and thoughtful services for more elderly people with pension needs.

5. Union Life has started to deploy overseas in the industry, and I believe that more insurance companies will participate in it in the future. Foreign pension enterprises are more mature and have a lot of high-quality and cheap assets, which are worth investing by China insurance companies. Moreover, with the hot development of residence, including foreign travel routes will be more popular with customers.

Various ways for insurance companies to develop old-age care

1, with the help of the group’s internal resources to build a community for the aged.

This model appeared in the early stage of the exploration of pension real estate. Some large-scale insurance parent groups have diversified business formats, and there are professional real estate companies under them. They often use the internal resources of the group to set up projects for elderly housing, and the successful projects can be sold to the market. In fact, the selling community model is no different from real estate development, which can quickly recover funds and obtain development profits, thus realizing rolling development. However, under this model, it is difficult to guarantee the community’s old-age service.

The "Comprehensive Service Community for Health Care and Pension" built by Ping An Insurance in the early days was developed and constructed in conjunction with China Ping An Real Estate Group, which integrated three product lines: pension apartment, family community and holiday leisure, with a total construction area of 1.5 million square meters.

The project adopts the mode of "both renting and selling", that is, like commercial real estate, property rights can be bought and sold. Member products are operated by Ping An Real Estate, which only rents and does not sell. At that time, this model was the only pension real estate developed in the form of "selling+holding operation" in the financial department.

Figure: Health Valley Member Service System

Evergrande Real Estate, the parent group of Evergrande Life Insurance, has built the Evergrande Health Valley, creating four parks, namely, Yiyang, Changle, Kangyi and Parent-child, providing 852 types of facilities and 867 comprehensive health management services, covering the whole life cycle from pre-pregnancy, infants to centenarians.

At present, the completed Evergrande Health Valley has been sold to the market. It is understood that Evergrande Health Valley will provide health care and old-age care services to customers through the membership mechanism of "rent, purchase and travel". Customers can become members by renting, buying products in Health Valley or traveling and living in Health Valley, and get membership rights such as health insurance, high-end medical care, health management and health care services. 

Evergrande Life put forward the strategic model of "insurance guarantee+ecological pension+combination of medical care and nursing care", and issued the permanent endowment insurance, which creatively combined insurance products with the old-age community to provide customers with a package of pension plans linking financial planning and pension entity services.

Photo: Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan

Everbright Life Insurance launched the "Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan", which connects insurance products with Everbright Huichen Pension Service Community to provide customers with a package of pension solutions of "insurance+pension community" and realize the combination of financial products and physical pension. "Everbright Peace of Mind Pension Plan" is divided into two sub-plans:

Plan A serves mid-to-high-end customers through "insurance+long-term care for the aged+preferential service for the aged living in residence", and locks in the occupancy right of Everbright Community in advance for customers. The occupancy right is further divided into "guaranteed occupancy right, priority occupancy right, preferential price right, experience occupancy right", etc., to provide customers with more and clearer protection, with up to six rights holders, including not only customers and their spouses, but also parents of both parties. In addition, the right holder can also enjoy the service of living and providing for the aged at preferential prices all over the country from the date of insurance;

The content of plan B is "insurance+preferential right of living service", with low payment threshold and wider coverage. Six rights holders can enjoy the same level of living service in plan A in advance without staying in the old-age community.

In 2019, Xingbao launched "Star Pension"-a comprehensive solution of pension insurance and pension community. Relying on Fosun Real Estate’s Healthy Honeycomb Platform, the two parties jointly create an exclusive pension community scheme for Fosun Prudential Life Insurance customers-customers can reserve pension annuity by purchasing corresponding insurance products of Fosun Prudential, and Fosun Real Estate promises the rights and interests of customers to stay in the "Fosun Pension Community" in the future. It is reported that if the total premium is more than 2 million, the insured can get the qualification to live in an old-age community.

China Merchants Guanyi Home launched the "Renhe Yijia Comprehensive Pension Plan", with the development strategy of "the same platform, giving equal attention to both light and heavy, and combining medical care with nursing care". China Merchants Renhe Life Insurance focuses on the whole industrial chain of pension insurance products, pension community development and pension community operation services.

Specifically, the pension community in Guangzhou Golden Valley (Renhe Yijia Heyuan) is only open to customers who buy insurance. Only by purchasing more than ten designated insurance products, including "China Merchants Renhe Zhaoying Jinsheng Annuity Insurance" and "China Merchants Renhe Heyue Life whole life insurance", and the accumulated premium payable reaches more than 2 million, can they be eligible to apply for the pension community.

2. Innovative gameplay of insurance+pension

Figure: UC club membership rights

China Insurance launched the UC Club of New Life, and launched membership service for the junior and old people. Members who join the club can enjoy services such as learning, medical care, traveling, doing something and having fun. It is also known that United Life also has plans to form a new senior club.

Guohua Life Insurance has established three companies on medical health and old-age care: Hainan Guohua Kangyang Co., Ltd., Gongqingcheng Zhongke Xukang Medical Industry Investment Partnership, and Guohua Residence Kangyang Co., Ltd. At present, the company’s work in medical care, old-age care and other aspects is in the preparatory stage, and there is no more definite information to disclose.

Love Life put forward the four-in-one ecological strategy of "medical care and insurance" for the aged. In 2020, China International Fair for Trade in Services released the first "insurance+service" home-based care product in the industry-"Love+Home-based Care Product Plan", which provides home-based care solutions for the elderly with the combination of "annuity protection+medical care service".

In addition, Love Life is also a pilot agency for long-term care insurance in Beijing, and has set up a special team with rich experience in care management services, and has become one of the eight financial institutions selected by China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission Financial Support Community Home Care Service Agency Project.

Happy Life, supported by the national policy, launched the reverse mortgage pension insurance product "Happy House Laibao reverse mortgage pension insurance for the elderly (Clause A)", and invested in regional leading pension institutions all over the country through the special equity investment fund for medical pension.

Zhonghong Life Insurance cooperates with Greenland Kangyang to create a cross-border innovative cooperation model of "insurance products+high-end pension community+Kangyang hotel", organically combining insurance financial products with physical pension services to provide customers with more comprehensive pension solutions. This indicates that Zhonghong Insurance has made important progress in building a "health+pension" dual-engine strategic layout.

tag

Insurance and old-age care both start from the whole life cycle of people, and they are strongly related. Looking at overseas, insurance companies have always been an important pillar of the development of old-age care. The social security and market profitability of providing for the aged coincide with the original meaning of the insurance industry.

On the level of social security, the overall security level of the three-pillar pension system in China is relatively low, with the first pillar dominating, but there are also problems of low security level. Therefore, the participation of commercial insurance can improve the level of social security to a certain extent.

As far as market profitability is concerned, with the improvement of the living standards of the elderly and the enhancement of their ability to pay, the demand of the elderly for commercial insurance products is increasingly prominent, and the inclusiveness of products and services with various asset properties is also increasing. There will be great market space for commercial insurance companies to cut in from this aspect and participate in pension real estate, insurance products and pension services.

In recent years, after the previous heavy lifting asset layout, insurance companies are slowly returning to rationality and becoming more and more clear about their own positioning-"insurance surname". They should form differentiated competition through providing for the aged, innovate services, give full play to the advantages of insurance+and build a big healthy ecosystem.

At the moment when long-term insurance is ready to come out and commercial insurance can play more roles, we believe that all insurance companies will participate in the pension industry in their own ways in the future, which makes us more full of expectations for this industry.

Peng Qinghua: Do a good job in the great article "Emancipating the mind and gathering talents"

Talent-oriented is the great cause of a thousand years. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation must be used by gathering talents from all over the world. As a western frontier ethnic area, Guangxi should, in accordance with the new mission entrusted by the central authorities, achieve the goal of "two constructions" of building a well-off society in an all-round way in synchronization with the whole country and building a new strategic fulcrum for the opening up and development of southwest central and southern regions. What needs to be paid most attention to is people, the most active factor in productivity, the most important thing to gather is the wisdom and strength of outstanding talents from all sides, and the most reliable thing is the huge "talent bonus" hidden among the 52 million people of all ethnic groups in the region. Strengthening Guangxi with talents is an important strategy for Guangxi’s leapfrog development. We should conscientiously study and implement the spirit of a series of important instructions of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary on talent work, do a good job of "emancipating the mind and gathering talents" with an open mind, reform measures and development orientation, and accelerate the formation of a vivid situation in which talents come forth in large numbers, generate is energetic and the cause is prosperous.

Guided by further emancipating the mind, we will strive to enhance the vitality of open cooperation and gathering talents. In recent years, with the deepening of the strategy of strengthening Guangxi with talents, the whole region has paid more and more attention to talents and talent work, and the scientific concept of talents has become increasingly popular. However, there are still many old and rigid ideas in practical work, which seriously restricts the development of talents in the region. In recent years, taking emancipating the mind as the premise, we have seized the major historical opportunities such as comprehensively deepening reform, building the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, and building an upgraded version of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area. Relying on the frontier advantages of facing ASEAN and connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, we have taken the initiative to connect the central units with the developed provinces in the east, hired academicians’ consultants, hired high-end talents such as Bagui scholars, promoted post-employment training in central organs, enterprises and universities, and recruited young crop talents in "985" universities. Talent training needs a cycle. It is our long-term strategic choice to further emancipate our minds and take the initiative to go out and introduce. We should vigorously carry forward the spirit of openness and tolerance in Guangxi, establish a win-win concept of openness and cooperation, and introduce and develop talents regardless of location or status. Actively integrate into the global and regional talent flow allocation, and deepen the talent exchange linkage in China-ASEAN multilateral cooperation, domestic strategic cooperation between schools and regions, and regional cooperation between Guangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Guangxi and Taiwan. Continue to broaden channels, and attract talents by means of open selection, exchange and attachment, directional selection, project cooperation and intellectual consultation.Explore innovative methods such as team introduction, special introduction, transfer of talent savings, and joint branch schools to attract talents from all sides to the maximum extent and gather strong kinetic energy to accelerate development.

Focusing on breaking down institutional and institutional obstacles, we will continue to optimize the policy environment for making good use of living talents. Compared with developed regions, the gap in talent work in Guangxi is not only reflected in quantity and quality, but also in policies and mechanisms. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that to make good use of living talents, we must establish a more flexible talent management mechanism and implement a more open talent policy.

We should correctly handle the relationship between the party’s management of talents and the market’s allocation of human resources, respect the law of talent growth, and manage talents according to law, grasp the top-level design of policy innovation, give play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, give play to the main role of employers, and fully mobilize their enthusiasm and initiative. Adhere to the problem orientation, proceed from the reality of Guangxi, break down the system barriers and identity boundaries, make the mobile allocation mechanism turn, and make the talents in and out of the region and the incremental stocks available to us. Deepen the reform of distribution, break the inertia of seniority and quick success, establish a scientific incentive mechanism, and let innovation and knowledge contribution be respected and recognized by the society. Innovate management methods, break the tendency of administration and "official standard", build a support mechanism, and make concentrated research and undivided attention become the value choice of professionals. Pay attention to the guidance of classification and classification, and determine the focus of talent reform according to the regional functional orientation. The Beibu Gulf Economic Zone focuses on promoting the construction of a pilot zone for talent reform facing ASEAN and Pan-Beibu Gulf cooperation, the Xijiang Economic Belt focuses on exploring policies and measures for regional talent cooperation around undertaking industrial transfer in the eastern region, and the resource-rich area in western Guangxi focuses on establishing a long-term mechanism for the smooth flow of talents to difficult areas and posts. Encourage key parks and key employers to take policy innovation as the guide, build a number of demonstration sites for the priority development of talents, and activate the "one pool of spring water" for the development of talents in the whole region.

Taking strengthening the construction of platform projects as the starting point, we will fully explore the potential of talent service development and value realization. In the last ten years, relying on key industries, major projects and important innovation platforms in the whole region, we have successively built 50 autonomous regions’ talent highlands, adopted special mechanisms and policies, flexibly supported outstanding talents inside and outside the region to form teams and overcome difficulties, and focused on breaking through a number of key technical problems that have a significant impact on economic and social development, directly promoting construction machinery, mini-cars, diesel power, sugar silkworm and other fields to occupy a dominant position in the country. At present, in order to achieve the goal of "two constructions", Guangxi is stepping up the implementation of the "dual-core drive" strategy of Beibu Gulf Economic Zone and Xijiang Economic Belt, focusing on strengthening the six supporting systems of transportation, industry, finance, opening up, towns and ecology, and has made special arrangements for key areas such as industry, tourism, non-public economy, education and poverty alleviation. In accordance with the requirements of the deep integration of talent career and economic and social development, we should grasp projects and build platforms, and combine the development of talent resources with the development of advanced productive forces and the completion of the task of reform and development, so that development can be motivated and talents can start. We will closely follow the industrial structure to optimize the distribution of talents. According to the needs of the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the transfer of eastern industries and the development of strategic leading industries, based on the resource endowment and the cultivation of advantageous industries in Guangxi, we will vigorously carry out applied research and transformation of achievements, and guide more useful and useful talents to gather in the main battlefield of economic construction. Closely follow the project construction, give full play to the effectiveness of talents, and promote the combination of attracting investment and attracting talents.When introducing projects, we should pay attention to introducing management team and R&D force, and when introducing talents, we should pay attention to exploring and incubating projects, so as to realize the benign interaction between project construction and talent development. Closely follow the platform to help talents achieve their careers, focus on improving the carrying capacity of top-notch talents, focus on building a number of first-class platforms that occupy the commanding heights and enjoy the right to speak, and open up more room for development for outstanding talents. Vigorously improve the training chain and growth steps of all kinds of talents at all levels, focus on supporting the most creative youth, the initial stage of business start-up, and the crucial stage of innovation research, so that all innovation and entrepreneurship activities can compete with generate’s vitality and achieve practical results.

The purpose is to play the role of tariff lever adjustment, encourage the import of related commodities, and play the role of tariffs in improving domestic competitiveness, promoting technological progress of enterprises, ensuring economic operation, and improving people’s livelihood.

  The provisional tariff table of imported goods in 2024 disclosed the MFN tariff rate and provisional tariff rate of the above 1010 items in detail. For example, infant formula milk powder, which people are more concerned about, continues to enjoy the provisional tax rate of 5% as last year, which is obviously lower than the MFN tax rate of 15%.

  In order to accelerate the innovation and development of advanced manufacturing industries, import tariffs on domestic scarce resources, key equipment and parts such as lithium chloride, low arsenic fluorite and gas diffusion layer for fuel cells will be reduced next year. In order to protect people’s lives and health, next year, we will implement zero tariffs on some anticancer drugs, medicines and raw materials for rare diseases, and reduce import tariffs on formula foods for special medical purposes.

  In addition, import tariffs on sweet corn, coriander and burdock seeds will be reduced next year. In addition, in order to promote the development of new materials industry and reduce the export tariff of high-purity aluminum.

  In terms of agreed tax rate, according to the free trade agreements and preferential trade arrangements that have been signed and come into effect between China and relevant countries or regions, 20
Under this agreement, some imported goods originating in 30 countries or regions are subject to the agreed tax rate. The China-Nicaragua Free Trade Agreement came into effect on January 1, 2024 and implemented tax reduction.

  The agreed tax rate is generally lower than the MFN tax rate, which also shows that China has expanded its global network of high-standard free trade zones, continuously promoted high-level opening-up and promoted the construction of an open world economy.

  For example, according to the free trade agreements between China and New Zealand, Peru, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Iceland, South Korea, Australia, Pakistan, Mauritius and Cambodia and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), the tax will be further reduced. The free trade agreements between China and ASEAN, Chile, Singapore and Georgia, the early harvest of the free trade agreement between China and Nicaragua, and the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao have all been reduced, and the agreed tax rate will continue to be implemented. The Asia-Pacific trade agreement continued to be implemented.

  It is worth noting that the Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) has completed the tax reduction and continued to implement the agreed tax rate. However, the Announcement of the the State Council Customs Tariff Commission on Suspension of Tariff Concessions for Some Products of the Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the Announcement) (Announcement of the Tax Commission)
No.9 of 2023) except for the goods involved.

  According to the above-mentioned Announcement, Taiwan Province unilaterally takes discriminatory measures such as prohibiting and restricting the export of mainland products, which violates the provisions of the Framework Agreement on Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation. According to the Framework Agreement on Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation, the the State Council Customs Tariff Commission decided to suspend the tariff concessions for some products of the Framework Agreement on Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation according to the regulations and procedures. These include imported products of 12 tax items, such as propylene and p-xylene originating in Taiwan Province. It is hoped that Taiwan Province will take effective measures to lift trade restrictions on the mainland.

  In terms of preferential tax rate, next year, we will continue to give zero-tariff treatment to 43 least developed countries that have established diplomatic relations with China and completed the exchange of letters. We will implement preferential tax rate, and the scope of applicable goods and tax rate will remain unchanged, and Vanuatu will no longer be given zero-tariff treatment.

  Preferential tax rate is a special preferential tariff treatment that China unilaterally gives to the least developed countries or regions. Generally speaking, the preferential tax rate is the strongest and the tax rate is the lowest. This is also to support and help the least developed countries to accelerate their development.

  In order to promote China’s superior products to better participate in the international market competition, in 2024, China’s subheads will be appropriately adjusted to add tax items such as decorative base paper and high-end steel products. After adjustment, the total number of tariff items is 8957.

  The Office of the the State Council Customs Tariff Commission said that the above adjustment measures are conducive to supporting and stabilizing the basic foreign trade and foreign investment and better serving the overall situation of economic and social development; It is conducive to promoting the continuous enhancement of endogenous power and better coordinating development and security; It is conducive to promoting high-level opening up and building a new open economic system; It is conducive to promoting the transformation and upgrading of the industry and actively participating in international market competition.

Gaohucheng: From a Big Trading Country to a Powerful Trading Country

  On March 2nd, People’s Daily published an article signed by Gao Hucheng, Minister of Commerce, "From a Big Trading Country to a Powerful Trading Country". The full text is as follows:  

  From a big trading country to a strong trading country

  According to the World Trade Organization, in 2013, China’s total import and export of goods was 4.16 trillion US dollars, ranking first in the world in goods trade. This is a major event in the historical process of China’s opening to the outside world, a major achievement of our party leading the people of the whole country to firmly adhere to the basic national policy of opening to the outside world and fully participate in economic globalization, marking another solid step towards the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Achievements are hard won, and the road ahead is not smooth. We can’t relax in the slightest. Only by accelerating the transition from a big trading country to a powerful trading country can we better serve the goal of "two hundred years" and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.  

  An important milestone in the development of open economy  

  A history of trade development is also a history of the rise and fall of a country and a nation. China is one of the earliest countries to develop foreign trade in history, and it still maintained the first position in the world in terms of economic and trade scale until the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. In 1840, the west opened the door of the Qing government’s "closed door" with a strong ship and a sharp gun. Since then, China has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and its foreign trade has lost its sovereignty and become a semi-colonial foreign trade. The establishment of New China destroyed the imperialist privilege in China, and the foreign economic and trade dominance returned to the people’s hands, and foreign trade began to make a difficult start. Marked by the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, China has implemented the historic decision of reform and opening up, fully participated in international division of labor and cooperation, actively developed economic and trade exchanges with other countries in the world, and achieved a new historical leap in foreign trade in generate.

  China’s foreign trade began in the pre-Qin period, flourished in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and declined in the late Qing Dynasty. After more than 60 years of rapid development since the founding of New China, especially in the 35 years of reform and opening up, China has returned to the first place in the world, creating a miracle in the history of world trade development. For more than 30 years, China’s foreign trade has doubled almost every four years, making it the first developing country to become the world’s largest commodity trading country.  

  China’s foreign trade has become the most active force to promote economic and social development. From 1978 to 2013, China’s total foreign trade increased from $20.6 billion to $4.16 trillion, with an average annual growth rate of 16.4%. In recent years, the contribution rate of foreign trade to economic growth has reached about 18% on average, which directly and indirectly promoted the employment of 180 million people in China and created 18% of the national tax revenue.

  China’s foreign trade really connects the Chinese dream of 1.3 billion people with the world dream of 7 billion people. China is already the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries and regions. From the South Pacific island countries to the African continent, from the eastern end of Eurasia to the two sides of the Atlantic Ocean, the whole world is enjoying high-quality and low-priced goods made in China. The continuous development of foreign trade has made China’s development benefit the world. China can’t live without the world, and the world can’t live without China, which has really become a reality.

  Practice has fully proved that China’s foreign trade has embarked on a development path that suits China’s national conditions and conforms to the world trend, and has created a successful example for developing countries to give full play to their late-comer advantages and grow stronger in the tide of economic globalization. The rich practice of China’s foreign trade is realized under the correct leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), which constitutes an important part of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road, embodies the great creation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory, shows the great superiority of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, condenses the wisdom and sweat of hundreds of millions of China people, spreads the positive energy of China’s reform and opening up to the international community, and strengthens Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence.

  Face up to the difficulties and challenges faced by the current foreign trade development

  Being the world’s largest commodity trading country brings us joy, but at the same time, it is more calm and worried. At present, the world and national conditions are undergoing profound changes. Looking at China’s foreign trade comprehensively, there are still many aspects that cannot meet the needs of development in the new period. There is still a long and difficult way to go to become a trading power.

  The foundation of innovation and development needs to be strengthened. Innovation is the source of vitality to support the development of foreign trade. The competition in the contemporary international market is basically a struggle for innovation ability. For a long time, China’s products have mainly relied on quantity and price advantages to participate in international competition, and the products lack core competitiveness and low added value. In 2013, the export proportion of China’s electromechanical and high-tech products has reached 57.3% and 29.9%, but the core technologies of many commodities are in the hands of foreign countries. Among them, 61.2% of mechanical and electrical products are produced by foreign-funded enterprises and 51.1% are exported by processing trade; 73% of high-tech products are produced by foreign-funded enterprises, and 65.3% are exported by processing trade.

  The development of service trade lags behind. Although China has become a big country in goods trade, the development of service trade is relatively backward. In 2013, the total import and export volume of China’s service trade was 539.64 billion US dollars, only about half of that of the United States. China is a big country with a trade surplus in goods, but it is also the largest country with a trade deficit in services in the world. In 2013, the trade deficit in services reached US$ 118.46 billion. China’s service export structure is not optimized enough, and the proportion of technology-intensive service exports such as finance and insurance is still relatively low.

  The trade system and mechanism are still not perfect. Over the years, the state has continuously reformed and improved policies and measures such as export tax rebate, export credit and customs clearance facilitation, and the business environment has generally improved significantly. However, there are many policies and means to encourage exports in one direction, and the two-way regulation mechanism with limited promotion and progress has not been fully established, and there is still a tendency to pursue speed and scale unilaterally. It is an important and urgent task for foreign trade development to construct a trade and investment rule system that conforms to both China’s national conditions and high international standards.

  The foreign trade development environment is not optimistic. Externally, the world economy is still in a period of deep adjustment, and generally speaking, it is difficult for the international market demand to return to the stage of sustained high growth before the financial crisis. Domestically, in recent years, China’s labor costs have continued to rise, and the constraints of resources, energy and environment on economic development have intensified. How to form a new advantage in international competition as soon as possible on the basis of consolidating traditional advantages is a major issue that needs to be solved urgently in developing foreign trade.

  Pioneering and enterprising, building a trade power

  The road to the top is not easy. It is even more difficult to maintain the position of number one in the world. Guided by the spirit of the 18th CPC National Congress and the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, we should focus on cultivating new advantages, aim at improving comprehensive benefits, aim at mutual benefit and win-win, accelerate the adjustment of import and export strategies, realize the transformation from a big trading country to a powerful trading country, and better serve the goal of "two hundred years" and the Chinese dream.

  Adhere to the guidance of openness and continue to develop foreign trade. A trading power is the unity of quality and quantity, and quantity is more qualitative, and it is stronger if it is big. Based on the reality of China’s large population and shortage of resources, we should always adhere to the open development thinking, follow the principles of balanced layout, winning by quality, multi-complementarity and multi-point support, and on the basis of maintaining reasonable growth of foreign trade, effectively shift the development goal to quality and efficiency, and pay attention to using two markets and two resources at a higher level.

  Implement innovation drive and accelerate the cultivation of new advantages in foreign trade competition. Only sunset products, no sunset industry. It is necessary to speed up the use of modern technology to transform traditional industries, enhance the scientific, technological and fashion connotation of labor-intensive products, and stabilize the international market share of labor-intensive products. Promote the integration of trade, technology and industry, encourage foreign trade enterprises to carry out scientific and technological innovation, business model innovation and trade format innovation, and cultivate new advantages in foreign trade competition with technology, brand, quality and service as the core. Vigorously develop service trade, encourage the export of intellectual and technology-intensive services, and form a good situation of benign interaction and coordinated development of trade in goods and services.

  Deepen reform in an all-round way and build a new mechanism for sustainable development of foreign trade. We will improve foreign trade promotion policies that conform to China’s national conditions and international practices and reflect the requirements of foreign trade development in the new period, and establish a quality-oriented trade promotion system. Accelerate the construction of import promotion policy system, clear up unreasonable restrictions on import links, and promote the coordinated development of import and export. Make overall plans to promote the construction of free trade parks (Hong Kong), the negotiation of investment agreements and the revision of foreign-related economic and trade laws and regulations, deepen reforms in the fields of finance, taxation, investment, finance, foreign exchange and circulation, release institutional dividends, and stimulate the vitality of foreign trade entities. We will improve working mechanisms such as anti-monopoly, trade remedy and industrial safety review to safeguard national economic security.

  Adhere to mutual benefit and win-win results and actively participate in the formulation of global economic and trade rules. A big country means responsibility and responsibility. In the future, we must go to the forefront of international governance, give play to the influence of the world’s trading powers, and enhance China’s ability to provide public goods to the world and fulfill the responsibilities of big countries. We will continue to regard the multilateral trading system as the main channel to promote the opening of global trade and investment, adhere to trade liberalization in a clear-cut manner, and promote the development of the multilateral trading system in a more balanced, inclusive and win-win direction. Adhere to the principles of openness, inclusiveness and transparency, participate in regional trade cooperation and develop a global free trade network. Improve the global value chain, strengthen the coordination of trade policies, and help developing countries strengthen trade capacity building.

  Xiongguan Man Road is as iron as iron, but now it’s a step from the beginning. We firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, and through the unremitting efforts of all personnel on the foreign trade front, the goal of becoming a strong trading country will be realized, and foreign trade will surely write its own magnificent chapter in the process of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Eight sweet online dramas worth chasing after staying up late, I really want to fall in love after reading them.

Peninsula reporter Wang Yue

Valentine’s day and sweet pet drama are more suitable!

When I was at home, I watched "fancy sprinkling sugar", the atmosphere was romantic and warm, the picture was pink, the plot was sweet and greasy, and the face was high, which made people feel concerned!

In recent years, online drama has become a large-scale "sugar factory", and it has also won a lot of new actors. Here, instead of Amway’s new sweet pet dramas, eight classic sugar-sprinkling dramas are selected. Some overbearing presidents fall in love with me, some simply cure Xiao Qingxin, some demonstrate the best boyfriend, and some cute girlfriends, such as cups of warm tea in winter, warm your heart and my heart.

1, "love, chitose adult’s first love"

"Next Stop is Happiness" got the face value and acting skills of Miss Victoria Song. In fact, as early as "Making Love", Victoria Song was already impressive! And with this drama Su Fantian’s male host design and exquisite performance, Johnny captured the hearts of countless girls in one fell swoop. The drama tells the love story of Guan Pipi, an ordinary and kind social newspaper intern, who met the mysterious and affectionate right priest Helan Jingting of the fox family. Douban scored 7, creating a benchmark for domestic fantasy love online drama, which is a well-deserved explosion.

2. Summer of the Fox

Marisu out! The eccentric female host "abuses" the president, which is king. The drama is divided into one season and two seasons, which tells the funny love story of the lie transmitter "Miss Fox" and the human flesh polygraph "President of the White Rabbit", from incompatibility to closeness. Break through the conventional interesting people’s design, the youth idol lineup with the coexistence of acting skills, and the light comedy performance form of self-release. Seven’s and Jo Jiang’s interpretations of strength are in contrast, with a bursting sense of CP and a full heart value. The Thai version of the drama has just started, starring top-class Yan value mai and push, and its influence in Asia can be seen.

3. To Our Warm Hour Light

As a youth drama with Douban score of 8 last year, the drama is adapted from Zhao Qianqian’s novel of the same name, and tells a sweet and funny love story that happened after the oxygen girl Situmo and the physical genius Gu Weiyi accidentally shared a room. Cooking, getting sick, washing sheets, listening to cross talk and other details get to a fairy love with fireworks. Love should last forever, but also day and night. Lin Yi and Fair Xing, two newcomers, also went out of the circle with the popularity of the drama.

4. "The world owes me a first love"

It’s another anti-routine sweet drama. After watching it, everyone said it was poisonous. What is the first love? It’s a heart-pounding, a deer bumping into each other, and it’s the purest sweetness. Then this is the experience of watching the drama. In addition to all kinds of famous scenes in which men and women are fond of each other, there are also all kinds of tricks of men and women who majored in positive results and their predecessors in green tea. However, this is not suitable for CP! This is called hard-core sweetness. You can chase it all at once and lose nothing.

5. "I only like you"

Janice, a popular couple in the classic cp, and Zhang Yujian, the younger brother of the abstinence department, performed a story of "from campus to wedding dress" with the sweetest love, the warmest story and the most long-lasting confession. Interestingly, "I only like you" continues the original fragmented memory style. At the beginning of each episode, there will be eggs, Qiao Yi (Janice) and Yan Mo (Zhang Yujian)’ s sweet "little theater after marriage" and their interesting QA, which is a legend in the Jianghu. This is a reality for cp.

6, "Meng Wife Gourmet"

As a four-in-one drama of crossing, food, palace fighting and love, Meng Wife Gourmet can be described as "full of color, flavor and taste". It tells the story that Ye Jiayao and Jing ‘an Hou Shizi, who returned to ancient times by chance, became husband and wife, and they stumbled to re-recognize and accept each other. The all-round heroine’s domineering and anti-teasing, her heart warming and her stomach sustained high energy, and the ancient entrepreneurial brain hole opened wide, and the eye-catching index burst.

7. "Two-time Spoil"

From the perspective of the title of the play alone, it contains a high-sweet warning, and it is a dark horse for the summer file that year. "Sweet pet", "high sugar" and "girl’s heart" have everything. It’s a long story to serve the drama, and it’s all because of the high energy of the plot lines that the male and female cp plays don’t inject water. Xing Zhaolin and Liang Jie were both unknown when they appeared in the play, but they quickly gathered popularity after the broadcast. After the first one, the second one was broadcast, which shows how many fans there are.

8. Alien Girl Chai Xiaoqi

Although "Xiaoqi" is not as famous as the above plays, the sweetness index is even worse. It tells the story that Chai Xiaoqi, an alien girl, stayed on the earth and met Fang Leng, the overbearing president, and started a high-energy hilarious and romantic cross-star love story. The monotony of "silly white sweetness" rarely allows girls to substitute themselves, but Chai Xiaoqi, the heroine, not only has a special function, but her infatuation and boldness satisfy the fantasies of the girls watching the drama. It’s not a big production without traffic blessing. The reason why "Xiaoqi" can reach the popularity of online drama top1 when it is broadcast is all due to the sweet, high-energy and funny plot, an episode of into the pit, and it is also chased after staying up late.

In the past decade, the field of inflammatory bowel disease treatment in China has developed rapidly, and remarkable progress has been made in drug and nutrition treatment, endoscopic treatment, surgery and treatment of perianal diseases. More and more gastroenterologists, surgeons and nutritionists have actively participated in it, and multidisciplinary cooperation has also flourished in many centers.

Is Ne Zha, whose reputation has exploded, really zero bad reviews?


Special feature of 1905 film network After the large-scale movie, the popularity of the film Ne Zha kept rising, and the word-of-mouth "exploded". Douban score has reached 8.7 points, far exceeding the 8.3 points in Return of the Great Sage, setting a new record for domestic animation score in recent years.


As an animated film, Ne Zha has successfully subverted countless audiences’ definitions of animation and traditional myths, and has become one of the national masterpieces suitable for all ages. Many friends in the graphic studio of 1905 Movie Network watched this movie in advance, and some people predicted that it would be the first domestic animation to win 1 billion+box office. Some people affirmed that this film represents the highest level of domestic animated films at present; However, some people have pointed out that this film is "unfriendly".

 

Five years 10/10

 

Nezha, a Xiong Haizi, feels like a combination of The Return of the Great Sage and The Big Fish Begonia. It tells a good story and is supported by first-class visual effects. The first billion+of domestic animation may not be far away, and it is more likely to become a strong contender for the box office champion in 2019.

 

Milo 8/10

 

It is no exaggeration to say that Nezha represents the highest level of domestic animated films both in story and technology. Like the explosion of White Snake: The Origin at the beginning of the year, both of them boldly adapted and reconstructed the classic legends successfully in the modern context. Nezha is very successful in image and personnel design, which can be said to be the most vivid and three-dimensional protagonist image in recent years.

 

Just like the phrase "My life is up to me" shouted by Nezha, the whole animation is filled with a kind of arrogant madness from story to special effects. Whether it’s the fierce battle in Chentangguan, where the last wave is higher than the last wave, or the paragraphs of the picture of the country and the country, it shows the director’s eclectic imagination while showing the technical level of the country. The director himself switched from a medical student to animation, and his ten-year experience is quite "going against the sky and changing his life".

 

Please blow up "Nezha" more violently in this quiet summer file!



Weishmer 7/10

 

There are two worlds in Ne Zha.

 

One is Chentangguan, and the other is the map of mountains and rivers by Taiyi — — Holding a "pointing pen", you have the ability to "create".

 

Map of mountains and rivers"is a myth in mythology. For the first time, Taiyi real people entered the picture with his apprentice Nezha, and they started all kinds of essays dancing and jaw-dropping wonders in Nezha. The scenery is for Nezha and, of course, for the audience. There is a picture of Nezha’s back to the audience, and the audience is consistent with Nezha’s perspective, which is full of substitution.

 

The picture depends on the imagination of Taiyi’s real person, and the film depends on the imagination of the director. Taiyi real people want to please Nezha, and the director is also trying to please the audience — — In a way that seems deviant.

 

Before the release of Ne Zha, the biggest controversy was the adaptation of Nezha’s image. "jiaozi (film director)" version of Nezha is ugly and fierce, which makes people love it. Then, Nezha became handsome, and formed "lotus root cake" CP with "sworn enemy" Ao Bing.

 

Want to see "shit", "Nezha" meets you; Want to see special effects, "Nezha" meets you; Want to see the picture, "Nezha" meets you; Want to see handsome guys, "Nezha" satisfies you. The director is like the real Taiyi. "I’ll draw you anything you want to see."

 

In my opinion, this flattering hodgepodge really runs counter to the "rebellious spirit" declared by the film. Nezha, who shouted "My life depends on me", was just a Xiong Haizi after all.



Liusen 7/10

 

Finally, I saw a domestic animation with a story arrangement that was not embarrassing. The previous ones were somewhat far-fetched in the connection of the plot, and even "unfinished" at the end. However, the plot of this Nezha is very complete, without much skill, but it tells a story in a down-to-earth manner.

 

However, there is actually one thing here, which is particularly unfriendly in the design of "punchline".

 

Using Shen Gongbao’s stuttering and strong female voice as a stalk to get the punch line is indeed a funny thing for many viewers. However, in such a film that emphasizes "being yourself and not believing in life", it is very low-level and disrespectful to such groups in reality. What’s more, this is a movie that emphasizes family fun and attracts children into the cinema.


Ke Nuo 6.5/10


Four years later, the frenzied atmosphere of The Return of the Great Sage is back, which is really familiar. In a cry for the rise of the country, we should still maintain a little rationality. From Qui-Ba, the real rise of domestic animation is the technical level. The role modeling is getting more and more realistic, the action scene is getting bigger and bigger, and the imagination paragraphs are also improved a lot, but the progress in drama is really not great.

 

The main story of Nezha is clear, which reasonably innovates the father-son relationship between Nezha and Li Jing, and the twin combination of Nezha and Ao Bing also meets the specific fan groups with obvious intentions. However, at the same time, it is filled with a lot of jokes and irrelevant jokes. The comedy of "shit and fart" has a vulgar surface, and the dialogue paragraphs woven for the current context are out of date, such as fingerprint unlocking. These paragraphs interspersed from time to time are very destructive to the narrative rhythm and overall impression.

 

The spiritual core of Nezha’s rebellion against the patriarchal system, such as "eviscerating bones for flesh" and "remolding flesh", is absent, and it is changed to the slogan "My life is up to me". Burning, but empty. The final climax in the film is very long, but each wave is not stronger than the other, and it is a little weak.


Nezha’s appeal to the commercial market is greater than its pursuit of a higher level of artistic expression. Really good animation and movies are not to cater to the audience, but to lead the audience. This is the long-term thing.



swi 7/10

If you count the filter, you will get a higher score for Nezha, but the director has received enough praise. The picture of the film is completely aesthetic, especially the design of the dragon side, the scene before the war (no spoiler? ) It is not only obedient to logic, but also beautiful and burning.

There are not a few original film and television adaptations. Nezha has made great changes to Nezha, Ao Bing and Shen Gongbao, which is also the most "modern" and "contemporary" creation of this film. Many people are deeply impressed by the classic "What’s wrong with the sea", which can never be surpassed by repetition. It is easier to make new audiences like this story by finding another way.

Personally, I have reservations about a large number of stalks in Nezha. Of course, different people have different opinions, and the design of grounding gas can be regarded as a double-edged sword.

In Taiwan Province, China, how was the game demonized?

Author: Hu youtian

In the 1980s, although the slogan of "anti-communism and anti-Russia" gradually became popular in Taiwan Province with the economic development and the international situation, the traditional Confucianism combined with modern nationalism and the college entrance examination "one test for life" advocated by the Kuomintang still dominated the society. Emerging video games, which were called "electric toys" in those days, have also been regarded as a scourge that hinders corruption and teaches bad children.

After the appearance of video games, the history of a synchronized demonized game in Taiwan Province began slowly.

After the martial law was lifted in 1988, "nationalism" failed, but the doctrine of further education was still very strong. At that time, the "electric room" (arcade hall) was often described in TV and newspapers as a place to hide evil people, not only cigarettes, gangs, gambling, but even drugs. For example, it is reported that the boss of the electric room put amphetamines (a central nervous stimulant, the structure of which is similar to that of methamphetamine) in the air conditioner, and cooperated with the overwhelming anti-drug advocacy in that year (including TV dramas, TV advertisements, campus publicity and newspaper topics), which further amplified the panic and hostility of parents and quickly surpassed the "billiards room" (also known as "billiards room", which is called billiards in the mainland) as bad teenagers.

These notoriety are not all wrong. In the 1980s, as a by-product of the "economic miracle", the folk gambling in Taiwan Province was fierce. Apart from the most powerful "Cafe de coral" (relying on the underground Mark Six lottery and various variants of the "patriotic lottery" issued by the authorities), there were also various gambling video game machines. At first, it was imported, and then the powerful local electronics industry quickly pirated mass production, not to mention poker machines, slot machines and mahjong machine. One of the most popular models is "Little Mary", which looks more casual. You can play with a coin from 5 yuan or 10 yuan (the price of a pack of snacks or drinks in that year), and the biggest prize is 50 or 100 yuan, depending on how the shopkeeper sets the small prize.

By the end of 1980s, "Little Mary" had flooded the whole island, and it was spread all over the grocery stores in the streets and lanes. All the children ate it, and many children lost a lot of breakfast money and pocket money on it. As for the serious operation of the electric room, there are many ways to mix and match the general machines and gambling machines. It is said that as long as the black and white lines are well cleared, it will return to the capital very quickly, which is undoubtedly a profiteering industry, and all kinds of vicious incidents are of course indispensable.

The next picture shows that the police seized the coins eaten by this machine, with 9600 yuan (source: Taiwan Province Apple Daily).

In 1988, the film "A Great Joy in the World" portrayed the strange current situation that everyone’s music flooded Taiwan, and Chu Ke-liang, Shengli Zhuo and other leading actors played it to the bone, because in reality they were so crazy that they lost to a debt. The opening song of A Great Music in the World is written and composed by Chen-Nan Tsai, based on the seven-character tone commonly used in traditional folk songs, with a lively and funny modern arrangement and a cheap female voice Echo. Although it is not a stunning work in music, it is extremely competent as the theme song of the film.

That’s beside the point. I went to primary school around 1990, and was influenced by propaganda, so I subconsciously felt repulsive to the electric car outside, and irrationally thought it was "chaotic" and didn’t want to get close to it or ask about it. Intellectually, I hate the smell of smoke, noise (at that time, the amusement park stereo was very loud) and spending money, so I would rather play computer and Nintendo at home, and I am a little complacent about being disciplined and able to play.

My brother is four and a half years older than me. After I went to middle school, I had more experience in playing video games outside with my classmates. I remember that he proudly told me about various racing games. The real feeling and feedback of holding the steering wheel was really beyond the reach of home computers and PCs. However, I couldn’t play well once or twice, so I didn’t regard playing video games outside as a cool thing like people of his age, a little rebellion in adolescence.

Of course, not all electric rooms are chaotic. From the 1980s to the early 1990s, there was a large electronic playground in the basement of SOGO department store on Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei. My parents took us there several times, where smoking was banned (although it was still very noisy), gambling and video games were not allowed, and many parents and children had fun. The image was relatively good, and it seemed that they were free from those bad things. However, only a few stores were able to wash away the white with the fashion sense of "department store" label. It is said that in 1996, the number of motor rooms in Taipei reached its peak, exceeding 30,000.

Here, instead of checking this statistic in detail, let’s just say a scene that can make everyone feel more vivid — — A cram school Under the doctrine of entering a higher school, since childhood, few students around me haven’t made up their lessons. The most intensive cram school area in Taipei is Nanyang Street near taipei main station, which of course has become the first-class war zone in the electric room. It is said that there was a whole row behind Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store. Some middle school students, because they want to play video games outside at night, tell their parents that they want to go to cram school, and their parents are happy to pay for it when they see that he is motivated.

A cram school is a place where all kinds of students from the front school to the back school gather, from those who have the strength to volunteer for the first three years to those who just come to let parents spend money to buy peace of mind, so there are a lot of dragons and snakes in the electric room around them. If you want to appeal to the pain points of parents and teachers, take an evidence that video games are poisoning teenagers, and just take a shot at that place.

Middle school students play video games under the pressure of the entrance examination, and college students are left unattended (of course, some people play less because they are left unattended, so they no longer have the sense of resistance). In 2016, I saw a speech by the political commentator "scum text", recalling that the student autonomy system was implemented in the boys’ dormitory of National Taiwan University, so he was in college for 4 years, and there were "large electric rooms, comic book shops and billiards tables with more than 6 tables" in the boys’ dormitory.

Here, the accusation of "teaching bad children" is no longer applicable, because my alumni are doing this with full consciousness, and many of them later got a place in politics, each contributing to the downfall of the Kuomintang from outside or inside. This is another chapter of "those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished."

Get down to business. Why was 1996 the highest peak of the electric workshop in Taipei? Because that year, a "Zhou Ginseng video game fraud case" was exposed: Zhou Ginseng, who runs dozens of gambling video game shops, paid bribes to police and prosecutors for a long time, amounting to tens of millions of yuan, which was called "eating ginseng" in the circle. The number of people involved in this case was as large as the police earthquake, when the news was very big.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Shui-bian, then the "Mayor of Taipei", promoted the revision of the Rules for the Regionalization of Land Use in Taipei in 1997, which included a "1000-meter clause" that showed his lawyer’s skill: anyone who applied for a amusement park license must have a storefront more than 1000 meters away from schools, hospitals and libraries. When this 1-kilometer circle is drawn down, only the suburbs and mountains are left, which is equivalent to a complete ban. So arcade halls quickly disappeared in Taipei.

Gambling is basically banned in Taiwan Province, so it is not controversial that gambling video games are banned, but the general arcade is also implicated. In fact, the public is not ignorant of this. We young people also think that gambling video games are played by middle-aged and elderly people, which are not attractive to us in terms of gameplay and can’t compete with those exquisite and exciting fighting, action, shooting and racing. We grew up with these things, and we are also easy to accept complex role-playing, strategy, adventure and other game types on home computers and PCs, which the previous generation did not understand and were not interested in. The non-gambling game that can be eaten by all ages seems to have only Tetris in mind.

In short, it is clear to everyone to distinguish which games are harmful, but many people want to ban them indiscriminately. In those days, Chen Shui-bian did a brilliant job: he didn’t bother to distinguish the types of machines from the good and the bad, and he didn’t carry the political notoriety of one-size-fits-all (after all, he attached great importance to young people’s votes), but used the "1000-meter clause" to make a radical effort to achieve the de facto ban effect.

As for the task of distinguishing game machines, it was left to the legislature, which did not produce results until January 2000 — — According to the Regulations on the Administration of Electronic Game Fields, there are three kinds of game machines: gambling game machines are defined as "entertainment" electronic game machines, general games are defined as "educational" electronic game machines, and there is also a kind of "steel ball machines", that is, Bai Qingge or various small steel ball machines. Of course, this classification method has a lot to complain about, and it has also caused all kinds of dissatisfaction and inconvenience when it is implemented later. For example, when Ma Ying-jeou and Hao Longbin were mayors, the popular music game machines such as "Taigu Daren" appeared in the underground streets of taipei main station and many shopping malls. I am not sure about the supervision, but I have seen that some manufacturers posted their own music machines and used such names as "training machines" when applying for registration with the government. As far as I can remember, no one clamored that the "electric room" was back. How can I help it? Or: Why can’t other types of non-gambling arcades all come back?

Why is this happening? We’ll talk about it later. Let’s talk about 1997, the beginning of the decline of arcade culture.

According to the usual routine, parents, teachers, social elites and other groups should be happy and applauded at this time. Young people, especially arcade enthusiasts, are depressed and hate Chen Shui-bian, and then the profit-seeking operators are still unwilling to give up and continue to operate underground.

However, the development of the times is too fast, and it can always surpass the routine. Zhou Renshen’s case and the ban of arcade hall have little influence on the development of video games in Taiwan Province, because another similar product has appeared and taken over the market seamlessly. This kind, you should be able to guess, is the Internet cafe (Internet cafe, called Internet cafe in mainland China).

According to the retrieval data, the first Internet cafe in the world was born in Britain in 1994, and the first Internet cafe in Taiwan Province, Supernova Internet Cafe, was set up near Taiwan Province University not long after (the specific time is to be tested). At that time, online games were not popular, and Internet cafes only provided internet services and simple snacks, or services such as fax, photocopying and scanning. Later, around 1998, a "strategic master" opened in a prime location of Zhongxiao East Road, with an hour’s worth of 90 yuan NT dollars. At that time, the most popular games were Starcraft and Age of Empires. By 1999, there was even "Starcraft".

I remember that the strategic master opened on the second floor of the Apollo building, near Lane 216 where the MRT was loyal to filial piety and dunhua station and the food group gathered, and now he is a dentist (taken on June 18, 2018, when I went home for business, I took a photo by the way).

I was in high school for three years, from 1998 to 2001, and experienced the all-round rise of Internet cafes. Our classmates called going to Internet cafes "connecting", connecting after school, connecting with cut class, and connecting when I was tired of studying at night. A group of common classes in Class 947 and Class 956 attached to our Normal University gave themselves an muddy number — — "4567 Brigade", Lin Linli of our class once played "CS" with others and won a championship in a certain competition, winning tens of thousands of dollars. Later, we connected with him and really couldn’t beat him at all.

Internet cafes have been opened one after another, and the price has quickly dropped to around 30 an hour in 50 yuan (in other counties and cities, it is as low as 20 yuan). Even the "OPEN Billiards Gymnasium" near our school has entered a batch of computers to serve students from many schools, so that you can pick a pole (play billiards) and connect at one time. Lynn is also very strong in pole-picking. He said that he usually picks poles with his father. This enlightened parent should have played a lot when he was young. By the way, the middle school attached to our normal university is the top three volunteer schools.

So what if arcades are banned? There are also home machines (formerly known as "TV games"), which were not banned before, and now they can’t be banned. Even if parents can keep their children away from playing musical instruments, they can’t keep them away from computers, and computers are taught in schools. Maybe there are still many people in the countryside who haven’t touched computers, but in Taipei, it should be said that every school and class can find a bunch of computers that are more powerful than teachers, and they can use various means to break the ban of computer classrooms, fill them with games, and even play online on the local area network. The computer class in our first year of high school is even connected with Quake, or play King of Kings on MUD.

Special recommendation: The Adventures of Dank and Scud (Riad. PK. edu.pl), a 1997 Quake comic book, was written by Michael Houston. I saw the report in Computer Player that year and went after the serial. This ancient webpage of 21 years ago is still there today.

What is the "1000 meter clause"? You can control the game machine, but not the computer. Computers can also be used to do business, and the electronics industry is the strongest industry in Taiwan Province, which can’t be simply demonized like arcade, home computer and billiards. For us students, since computers are serious things, going to Internet cafes is not as guilty as going to video games or pool rooms, or the psychological burden of being labeled as a bad teenager.

This is also due to a good start made by strategic experts. It is located on the second floor of the prime location building, with clean windows and no smoking. Moreover, every computer is equipped with headphones, which will not disturb others. At first impression, it will not be as dirty and noisy as those small electric rooms before. In particular, "no smoking" is very important. Smoking or not is an important label to distinguish good students from bad teenagers. Although I ask myself not to discriminate against smokers, I always hate the smell of smoke. There is smoke in the pool room and the old electric room, so I don’t want to go, but I am willing to go to the Internet cafe.

 

Happily, in those few years, the problems of teenagers racing and gangs were common social headlines. Many of us have seen heavy machines (heavy motorcycles) for dyeing hair whizzing by near our school. If you look at them more, you may be yelled at by people in the car: "What are you looking at!" -Yan, with the pronunciation of xiáo, with the orthographic word "?", is transliterated from Minnan language "semen" in Mandarin. However, after the rise of Internet cafes and online games, racing people seem to disappear and play games instead.

Of course, so many locomotives and gangs are still there, but they don’t make trouble in the real world. As a result, after getting rid of bad labels such as racing family, heavy locomotives have become sunny. After all, heavy locomotives are an important means of transportation in Taiwan Province. When I was in college and held a high school reunion, the most common thing people talked about was motorcycles. The most impressive news was that a group of college students took a motorcade up the mountain to play, and they were cursed by their grandmother who opened a grocery store on the mountain. The grandmother’s swearing was very fluent, and the students were greatly admired. All of them were humbly taught, saying that they would come to scold her next time, and grandma told them to pay attention to safety. Even swearing has become so warm. Although it can’t be said that this is the direct effect of video games, we can read a lot of intriguing atmosphere evolution from the pasting and shedding of all kinds of "labels".

Internet cafes, of course, are not without the criticism of moralists, but in Taiwan Province society at that time, the conservatives have been suppressed by liberals in a broad sense in the struggle for the right to speak. Although there are still many conservatives, they are hard to convince and lose momentum, just like the old Kuomintang. Politically, Lee Teng-hui is engaged in localization and educational reform, and he is relying on post-modern pluralism to replace the traditional Confucianism represented by the old Kuomintang with modern nationalism. In other words, Taiwan Province can no longer preach the slogan of "studying for the rise of China" to young people. That’s why it seems that there are no longer demonized games in Hongkong and Taiwan Province ── it’s not that adults have awakened and their prejudices have been eliminated, but that people who hold this opinion have lost their voices and will be covered up if they call them occasionally. Therefore, it should be said that the moralists in mainland China are relatively happy, and there is still a national justice that can be used.

Adults are then left with pornographic and violent labels and "addicted to games — Can’t read well — Can’t get into a good school — The economic reason of "I can’t find a good job" can demonize the game, but if we want to talk about the economy, once the game industry becomes bigger and the traditional channel of further studies and job hunting becomes more and more difficult, then the chain of blame will be broken. Of course, the game industry is not a savior, but anyway, everyone has no way to save the economy in Taiwan Province, and some of them can’t be implemented. However bad the game industry is, at least it is being implemented, and there are many achievements that drive upstream manufacturers. Therefore, from the utilitarian point of view, the game can’t be said to be a legitimate industry ── although it is also tired and hard to earn. However, it is precisely because the game industry is far less cool than playing games, and even worse than other industries, and public opinion is mostly sympathetic and contemptuous, so more and more people are willing to admit that games are legitimate industries. This makes no sense, but this is the reality. Therefore, no one wants to argue about what kind of game machine the music machine should be. It depends on when the law will be amended, and then another result that takes public opinion and administration as the main considerations is inconsistent with the actual needs.

The above has not talked about pornography and violence. To this day, there are still many parents’ groups who, in the name of protecting children and teenagers, attack all kinds of games and advertisements with soft pornography or violent elements, and every time they can get a certain space, they have their political energy. However, the reality is that I want to be thorough here: most of us who pay money love pornography and violence. There have been many dialogues and debates in this regard, but no matter how we argue, the basic bottom line in our hearts will not change, that is, "I don’t want it" and "I want it", so no one may be persuaded. Everything on the surface is just thinking about a plausible statement, but in fact, everyone doesn’t want to care about these superficial articles.

"Can we let these things flood in order to make money?" This is a powerful cross-examination, but if repeated too many times, it will easily lead to an irritating sincere answer: "I think so" or directly call him "idiot". It is true that many people neglect their business because they are addicted to games, but if you want to hit the whole game industry with this point, you will get a choking voice: "Don’t delay the game if you fail in education." "People who are addicted will be fascinated by others if they are not fascinated by this."

Addiction is indeed a problem that should be discussed, but we don’t want to come to a conclusion that we don’t like, and we are afraid that after reaching a consensus, we will be used by unreasonable annoying people to pressure me, so we would rather keep this confrontation without dialogue. Even if we really want to discuss it, we must make sure that he is one of our own, that we are really here to solve the problem and not make trouble, and then be careful not to let this result be used as a handle. Therefore, our personal wisdom will grow, but it is difficult for the group.

Problems in Taiwan Province can often not be mediated through rational communication and debate, but disputes can be transferred and abandoned through various deviant means or violence from outside. Those who have the means show their magical powers and exploit loopholes, and they get what they want. Those who have no means, just let them do what they want. The electric room was covered by the "1000-meter clause", and so was the generation of Internet cafes. By the time the iPhone came out in 2007, this was especially true after the boom of mobile games. In recent years, elders have also started to play games with tablets, becoming children one by one, and our generation has grown into the backbone of society. Time is the greatest violence, and no one can survive it.

We can often feel that human beings are like isolated islands from such a cold world. We struggled to connect each other with culture, and now games can make us feel connected and warm each other. I think, if we want to seriously talk about why there are fewer demonized games in Taiwan Province now from the emotional level, it is because people can more and more understand this lack of identity and the comfort that games can bring in this detached network age.
