Recently, the iPhone 16 Pro 128GB version enjoyed the national subsidy policy for the first time, and the news that the price dropped to 5,499 yuan sparked heated discussions on social media. This price reduction not only made many consumers flock to it, but also set off a wave of buying spree in JD.COM’s self-operated flagship store, which led to the goods being sold out for a time. However, behind this shopping spree, the controversy about storage capacity and cost performance also followed.

For the 128GB version of iPhone 16 Pro, consumers and industry insiders have had a heated discussion. Science and technology blogger "Science and Technology Daily" bluntly said that buying the 128GB version is really a "waste of state subsidies", and suggested that consumers should look to the domestic flagship mobile phone with the same price. Indeed, in today’s era of short videos and high-definition photos, 128GB of storage space may be stretched for heavy users. Domestic mobile phones with the same price often provide more storage space, which makes the cost-effective advantage of iPhone questioned.

Faced with the problem of insufficient storage space, some consumers put forward an alternative scheme of expanding their capacity by themselves after purchasing the 128GB version. However, this seemingly economical solution has great risks. According to Apple’s official statement, any unauthorized modification or disassembly will cause the equipment to lose its warranty qualification. In addition, unofficial expansion may also lead to a series of problems such as unstable equipment and incompatible systems, which will ultimately affect the user experience. In the iPhone ecosystem, the importance of official maintenance service cannot be ignored. Consumers need to weigh the value of warranty service while pursuing cost performance.

The introduction of the state subsidy policy has undoubtedly brought benefits to consumers, but it has also triggered in-depth thinking about product selection. When buying an iPhone, consumers need to fully consider their own needs, usage habits and subsequent maintenance costs, rather than simply being attracted by low prices. After all, a mobile phone that really suits you depends not only on the initial price, but also on the long-term use value.

　　On March 30th, the seven departments jointly held a video teleconference on the 2018 national agricultural anti-counterfeiting special action, summed up the work in 2017 and the past five years, and deployed the key work of agricultural anti-counterfeiting in 2018.

　　Among these seven departments, there is the State Administration of Market Supervision established in accordance with the Plan for Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions.

　　According to industry experts interviewed by the reporter of Legal Daily, the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision means that the supervision of the market has entered a new stage.

　　It is not a simple merger between institutions.

　　The Plan for Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions points out that reforming the market supervision system and implementing unified market supervision are the key links to establish a unified, open, competitive and orderly modern market system. In order to improve the market supervision system, promote the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country by quality, create an honest and trustworthy market environment, further promote the comprehensive law enforcement of market supervision, strengthen the supervision of product quality and safety, and make the people feel at ease in buying, using and eating, the responsibilities of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and china food and drug administration, The responsibilities of price supervision and inspection and anti-monopoly law enforcement of the National Development and Reform Commission, centralized anti-monopoly law enforcement of the operators of the Ministry of Commerce and the office of the the State Council Anti-monopoly Committee were integrated, and the State Administration of Market Supervision was established as a directly affiliated institution of the State Council.

　　"Before the reform of the party and state institutions, the functions of market supervision and management were scattered in different departments, resulting in a so-called ‘ Jiulong Water Control ’ Phenomenon. To use a common saying that people are familiar with, it is ‘ Seven or eight big caps can’t control a broken straw hat ’ . Although several departments perform their respective duties, they can’t hold a fist in market supervision, which wastes human and material resources to a certain extent and can’t supervise the market effectively and efficiently. At the same time, this has also led to food and drug fraud, illegal business operations of small business hawkers and other violations of the rights and interests of the people. " Wang Yukai, a professor at the National School of Administration, said.

　　The establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is considered to be an effective solution to the problem of "water control in Kowloon".

　　"However, it needs to be clear that the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is not a simple combination between departments, but on the basis of following market rules, it breaks down the barriers between departments in the past and regroups the functions and businesses of various departments." Wang Yukai said.

　　Wang Jingbo, dean of the Institute of Government under the Rule of Law of China University of Political Science and Law, also believes that the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is to realize the reconstruction, integration and convergence of "you have me and I have you" among different departments.

　　Form a comprehensive law enforcement team

　　With regard to the responsibilities of the State Administration of Market Supervision, the Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Party and State Institutions stipulates that it is responsible for comprehensive market supervision and management, uniformly registering market entities and establishing information publicity and sharing mechanisms, organizing comprehensive law enforcement of market supervision, undertaking unified anti-monopoly law enforcement, standardizing and maintaining market order, organizing the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country by quality, supervising the quality and safety of industrial products, food safety and special equipment safety, and uniformly managing measurement standards, inspection and testing, certification and accreditation, etc.

　　Among these responsibilities, "organizing comprehensive law enforcement of market supervision" has attracted people’s attention.

　　"Comprehensive law enforcement has many meanings, both centralized and multi-departmental. The integration of departmental law enforcement teams is mainly reflected in the integration and change of administrative management. This kind of reform and adjustment has many positive meanings and highlights different from the past. For example, improve the supervision efficiency in various fields, bridge the original separation between departments, adapt to the staged expectations of economic development, and adapt to the development needs of the new economy. It can be said that this reform is based on the principle of simplification, unification and efficiency, and it is a whole-process, full-chain supervision mechanism and system that has been redefined and constructed. This reform direction is in line with the people’s hearts and is completely correct. " Wang Jingbo said.

　　"In the past, as long as each department had functions related to market supervision, it would set up its own law enforcement team. For example, the quality supervision department has the law enforcement team of the quality supervision department, the industrial and commercial department has the law enforcement team of the industrial and commercial department, and the food and drug supervision department also has the law enforcement team of the food and drug supervision department. Now it is different. A large overall market supervision pattern is taking shape, and the law enforcement team will be reorganized and integrated to adapt to the overall market supervision pattern. It is foreseeable that in the future, several new and comprehensive law enforcement teams will be re-planned, which can avoid the confusion of law enforcement and the lack of purpose caused by each management. " Wang Yukai said.

　　Wang Yukai told the "Legal Daily" reporter that after the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision, the construction and optimization of the law enforcement team will be greatly strengthened, which is of great benefit to realizing the market supervision function, maintaining the socialist market economic order, protecting the rights and interests of ordinary people from infringement, and cracking down on fraud and counterfeiting.

　　The regulatory capacity has been greatly improved.

　　The establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is undoubtedly a great change in market supervision, and a brand-new market supervision system is ready to emerge.

　　"In the past, decentralized supervision of various departments has now become unified centralized supervision. Under the new supervision pattern, we can form a very good institutional model in organizing market supervision and promoting comprehensive law enforcement, and truly avoid problems such as decentralized governance and overlapping functions, so that market supervision departments can better serve the people. This is also the purpose and significance of the reform of the party and state institutions. " Wang Yukai said.

　　"The previous supervision method was fragmented. After the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision, the supervision has the ability to integrate. Especially with the development of science and technology, technologies such as big data have been fully applied, and many information barriers have naturally been opened. Under this new regulatory pattern, the regulatory capacity will definitely be greatly improved. " Wang Jingbo said.

　　Wang Yukai told reporters: "Previously, many places have integrated the departments related to market supervision. It can be said that the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is natural and natural, which is of great significance to the long-term healthy development of China’s future market supervision pattern and market economic order. "

　　"After the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision, the supervision of the market will be strengthened. With the strengthening of this supervision, the guarantee and expectation of product quality will be higher. The higher the quality of products, the people can buy and use with confidence. In this way, we can enter a virtuous circle process, and also promote market competition more effectively, thus bringing more vitality and benefits to the long-term, sustained and healthy development of the economy and society. In addition, higher efficiency and lower administrative costs have always been the goal of government reform. Therefore, the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is of great benefit to improving market order and improving people’s lives. " Wang Jingbo said.

Dahebao Dahe Finance Cube Trainee reporter Chen Yuxi Ren Bing

In the past 100 days in 2018, Zhongyuan Expressway’s six rounds of financing of 6.4 billion yuan is very eye-catching, and its accumulated loan has reached 38.6 billion, nearly three times its net assets! Behind the high-frequency opening of the "borrowing" model, on the one hand, the financing skills can be seen, and the thirst for funds under the diversified and rapid development can also be seen.

Financing again! In 2018, six rounds of financing have reached 6.4 billion.

On the morning of April 12th, Zhongyuan Expressway announced its second corporate bond coupon rate in 2018. According to the announcement, the issuance scale of corporate bonds is 1.3 billion yuan, with a term of five years, accounting for 5.21% in coupon rate. Zhongyuan Expressway said that the funds raised this time are mainly used to repay the company’s debts.

Just 10 days ago, the first phase of corporate bonds of Zhongyuan Expressway in 2018 was just listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with a bond issuance scale of 1.5 billion yuan, which is also a term of 5 years. In addition to corporate bonds, Zhongyuan Expressway also issued two issues of ultra-short financing, raising 2 billion yuan. In addition, Zhongyuan Expressway also borrowed 1.6 billion yuan from Henan Communications Investment Group Co., Ltd., the controlling shareholder of the company. In just over three months, Zhongyuan Expressway has carried out six rounds of financing, with a total financing amount of 6.4 billion yuan.

According to statistics, as of April 12, 2018, the accumulated loan balance of Zhongyuan Expressway has reached 38.6 billion yuan, and according to its latest quarterly report, its net assets are only 13 billion, accounting for only one third of its loan balance. At present, among the expressway listed companies, Zhongyuan Expressway ranks first with an asset-liability ratio of 74.97%.

Corporate bonds+ultra-short financing, Zhongyuan high-speed financing logic can be seen.

By combing the financing process of Zhongyuan Expressway in the past two years, it is found that this corporate bond and ultra-short financing are the continuation of its previous financing behavior.

In December 2016, Zhongyuan Expressway was approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and allowed to publicly issue corporate bonds with a total face value of no more than 4.8 billion yuan to qualified investors. After receiving the approval of the 4.8 billion quota, Zhongyuan Expressway issued the corporate bonds with a total scale of 2 billion yuan, 5 years and 4.95% of coupon rate in August 2017, and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on August 14. The 1.3 billion yuan of corporate bonds to be issued this time and the 1.5 billion yuan of corporate bonds in the previous period are also in the 4.8 billion quota.

In addition to issuing corporate bonds for long-term financing, issuing short-term financing bonds and ultra-short-term financing bonds for short-term financing is also handy for Zhongyuan Expressway.

In February, 2015, China Banking Market Dealers Association accepted the registration of Zhongyuan Expressway short-term financing bonds with a validity period of 2.7 billion yuan for two years. After obtaining the registration, Zhongyuan Expressway issued 500 million yuan in March and December 2015 respectively, and then issued 500 million yuan and 1 billion yuan in March and September 2016 respectively. After the first two issuances expired, Zhongyuan Expressway recycled the quota before the end of the validity period, and issued another 1.2 billion yuan in January 2017 with the maturity date of January 24, 2018. That is to say, more than two months ago, Zhongyuan Expressway just paid a short-term debt of 1.2 billion.

In addition, in May 2016, Zhongyuan Expressway also applied for approval of 3 billion ultra-short-term financing bonds, and quickly issued 1.5 billion in May and August 2016 respectively, and all the quotas were used up. These two sums of money were paid after 270 days, and Zhongyuan Expressway carried out circular issuance, namely, 1 billion yuan 90-day ultra-short financing issued in May 2017, 1 billion yuan 270-day ultra-short financing issued in July, and two 1 billion yuan 90-day ultra-short financing issued in January 2018.

Combing the above bond issuance process, we can see that Zhongyuan Expressway has made full use of the two short-term financing registration quotas, without wasting them, and borrowed the old ones for the new ones and seamlessly connected them. However, in May 2018, the registration period of 3 billion ultra-short-term financing is coming, but Zhongyuan Expressway still needs to pay a total of 3 billion ultra-short-term financing bonds in April and June, so it can’t wait to apply for registration of 5 billion ultra-short financing to make up for this funding gap.

Highway+real estate+finance, diversified layout behind high-frequency financing

Although borrowing heavily, it does not affect its outstanding performance. In fact, the large amount of capital demand of Zhongyuan Expressway stems from the acceleration of the company’s engineering construction and the continuous extension of diversified business chains.

Since the 2017 annual report has not been disclosed, the relevant data of the 2017 semi-annual report is taken as a reference.

According to the subsidiaries, joint ventures or joint ventures of Zhongyuan Expressway shown in the following figure, it can be seen that apart from the construction and operation management of the traditional main business toll roads, Zhongyuan Expressway has a layout in real estate development, property services, oil products management, engineering project supervision business and financial industry, and various investment fields have led to its strong capital demand.

Then, what is the investment situation of Zhongyuan Expressway in various fields?

The first is the highway project. In the first half of 2017 alone, Zhongyuan Expressway newly invested 535 million yuan in 14 road and bridge projects, including Zheng-Luo Expressway reconstruction and expansion project and Zheng Xin Yellow River Bridge project. By June 30, 2017, the accumulated actual investment of these 14 projects was as high as 39.214 billion yuan. And this is not all the road and bridge assets of Zhongyuan Expressway.

Followed by real estate. In recent years, Zhongyuan Expressway has carried out real estate development projects in Zhengzhou and Xuchang through subsidiaries such as Yingdi Real Estate. As of June 30, 2017, the ending balance of Zhongyuan Expressway’s investment in two real estate subsidiaries, Henan Yingdi Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Henan Junyi Real Estate Co., Ltd., was 393 million yuan and 99.33 billion yuan respectively.

Finally, the financial sector. Zhongyuan Expressway has continuously increased its financial business for many years, while investing heavily in financial institutions such as Zhongyuan Agricultural Insurance and Zhongyuan Trust, while vigorously developing its "Bingyuan Department" finance. With two legs, Zhongyuan Expressway has become an invisible "financial control giant" in Henan. The semi-annual report of 2017 shows that the investment balance of Zhongyuan Expressway in Zhongyuan Trust and Zhongyuan Agricultural Insurance is 2.498 billion yuan and 187 million yuan respectively, while the investment balance of its subsidiary Bingyuan Holdings Co., Ltd. is as high as 700 million yuan.

In the latest performance forecast of Zhongyuan Expressway, the net profit of Zhongyuan Expressway is expected to increase by 260 million to 560 million in 2017, with an increase of 35% to 75%. In this regard, Zhongyuan Expressway said that it is precisely because of efficient multi-channel financing that all the funds needed by the company can be successfully put in place and its performance can achieve rapid growth.

Economic Observer reporter Cai Yuekun 　"I don’t want it!" On June 6, Master Xi, who was in his fifties, spoke to reporters while driving a car online: a branch of a construction enterprise owed him more than 100,000 yuan, which has been more than ten years, and there is no hope of recovery.

Master Xi is an individual boss, who has long provided stone for the construction party. Nowadays, the whole industry is getting more and more depressed, and it is more difficult to get back the money for the construction enterprises. Using his spare time, Master Xi started a network car.

It is not only Master Xi who is difficult to collect debts, but also the construction industry in the upstream of individual enterprises is also bearing the burden that the accounts are increasingly difficult to recover after the advance payment for Party A..

According to the reporter’s incomplete statistics of listed construction enterprises in various provinces, by the end of 2022, the accounts receivable of Shanghai Construction Engineering had increased to about 62.489 billion yuan, accounting for 17.04% of the total assets; The accounts receivable of Chongqing Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. is 21.378 billion, accounting for 26.05% of the total assets; The accounts receivable of Anhui Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. is 36.191 billion yuan, accounting for 24.28% of the total assets & hellip; …

The rising accounts receivable, like a sword of Damocles, hangs over the heads of construction enterprises.

Li Chuan, who works in a large construction enterprise, has a deep understanding of this: "For construction enterprises, although accounts receivable are hard to get, the current payments of small and medium-sized enterprises in the upstream and downstream cannot be defaulted, and the wages of migrant workers cannot be defaulted. Affected by the high pressure of accounts receivable, even some enterprises can’t rely on credit to support cash flow. "

After the accounts receivable are defaulted by Party A, it will cause some construction enterprises to default on suppliers and other payment. In addition, the reporter’s investigation found that there are also illegal subcontracting, subcontracting and other industry chaos in the construction industry, which makes the problem of "triangular debt" in the construction industry extremely prominent. "Triangle debt" is a "difficult hurdle" in front of many construction enterprises, which has troubled the healthy and benign development of the whole industry.

In addition, the level of accounts receivable of construction enterprises is also related to the customer’s region. Comparatively speaking, the state-owned construction enterprises in economically developed areas, such as East China, are relatively less dragged down by accounts receivable, while the state-owned construction enterprises in the central and western regions are relatively more dragged down by accounts receivable.

In Li Chuan’s view, construction enterprises work hard, hard and painful. The construction industry is not only a labor-intensive industry, but also an industry of national economy and people’s livelihood. Therefore, how to solve the problem of "triangle debt", how to achieve high-quality, healthy and long-term development, and how to solve the problem of settlement of accounts receivable of construction enterprises is imminent.

High accounts receivable

The high accounts receivable of listed construction enterprises has become a common problem in the whole construction industry.

In addition to listed construction enterprises in various provinces, the reporter noted that China Construction’s 2022 annual report also revealed that by the end of 2022, the company’s accounts receivable amounted to 210.43 billion yuan, up 27.5% year-on-year. The main reason for the increase was that the overall business scale increased and the volume of accounts receivable increased. Accounts receivable accounted for 7.93% of total assets.

Li Chuan said that accounts receivable mainly correspond to two types of customers: one is that accounts receivable are difficult to recover due to the increase in defaults of real estate customers in the past two years; The other category is government investment and construction projects, accounting for a higher proportion. Because there is no settlement for construction enterprises in the upstream, there are many problems such as wage arrears for migrant workers and supplier lawsuits.

For construction enterprises, accounts receivable are hanging high. On May 25th, relevant persons of Chongqing Construction Industry analyzed to reporters that the increase of accounts receivable of construction enterprises is closely related to the macroeconomic downturn, and the real estate market is depressed in the past two years, and there are many enterprises that have exploded, and real estate development is one of the important customers of construction enterprises. In addition, it is an indisputable fact that the macro-economy has been in a downturn in the past two years, and the accounts receivable of construction enterprises have increased significantly.

On May 25, Zhang Wen, an analyst with the rating department of CSI Pengyuan Industrial and Commercial Enterprise, told the Economic Observer that the construction market in China has continued to grow for a long time, and the phenomenon of capital construction is widespread in the industry, which makes a large number of accounts receivable in the accounts of construction enterprises, and its scale keeps growing with business expansion; In addition, in recent years, the deterioration of the liquidity of housing enterprises and the intensification of the contradiction between local government revenue and expenditure have also lengthened the payment cycle of construction enterprises.

Relevant persons from Shaanxi Construction Engineering told reporters that since its listing, the company has entered a stage of rapid development, and its operating income has achieved rapid growth, which has also driven the growth of accounts receivable. Although such projects generally have a long repayment period, many projects are mainly government and state-owned assets, and the repayment is guaranteed.

Viann, an analyst in the rating department of China Chengxin International Industrial and Commercial Enterprise, told the Economic Observer that the proportion of two funds in assets of construction enterprises is relatively high, and the high asset-liability ratio is also a common phenomenon in the industry. After the housing enterprises are out of danger, the bigger problems faced by construction enterprises are the problem of clearing debts and bad debts. How to recover and monitor the two funds during the follow-up project, how to prevent and control risks and reduce losses are difficult.

Real estate thunder drag

According to many investigations, the increase of mine explosion in real estate enterprises in recent two years has become one of the important reasons for the high pressure of accounts receivable in construction enterprises.

For example, on May 22nd, Duanheng Construction applied to Chongqing No.5 Intermediate People’s Court for reorganization of Jinke Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jinke Shares", 000656.SZ). As a construction party, Duanheng Building is the corner where many construction enterprises recover debts from real estate enterprises.

According to Pengyuan’s credit data, in 2022, there were 27 new default subjects in the real estate industry, and the number of default bonds was 188, up by 125% and 176% year-on-year, accounting for 56.3% and 76.1% respectively, and the risks in the industry accelerated. According to overseas market data, after 2021, real estate enterprises have become the main risks in the overseas bond market, and the proportion of default subjects has increased significantly, accounting for 89% in 2022, up 34 percentage points year-on-year.

The default of housing enterprises also dragged down the accounts receivable of construction enterprises. For example, Chongqing Construction Engineering’s 2022 annual report shows that more than half of the customer names with bad debt provision are housing enterprises.

In addition, the 2022 annual report of Shanghai Construction Engineering pointed out that in 2022, the newly signed contract was 451.687 billion yuan, and the operating income was 286.037 billion yuan, an increase of 1.77% year-on-year; However, the net profit of returning to the mother was 1.356 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 64.03%.

Regarding the reasons for the change in net profit, Shanghai Construction Engineering pointed out that the company was affected by force majeure factors, and the gross profit margin of construction business declined. Affected by the downturn of the real estate industry and regulatory policies, the gross profit margin of real estate development business has decreased, and some inventories have been depreciated by a large amount. The fair price of financial assets in hand fell.

In this regard, Viann said in an interview that it is true that some risks and financial pressures have been transmitted to the construction enterprises, but the overall impact is controllable. The construction enterprises that have undertaken more private housing projects are mainly affected, such as some private regional leading housing construction enterprises in Nantong, which are relatively deeply bound to Evergrande, resulting in their own liquidity risks.

Long cycle of state-owned accounts

In addition to being dragged down by the explosion of housing enterprises, the more important types of accounts receivable of construction enterprises at present are: government investment projects and state-owned enterprise investment projects, which are hard to become the pain that construction enterprises cannot express.

Li Chuan said frankly, "Now the payment cycle of state-owned enterprises or government projects is too long. At the same time, we can’t default on the payment of small and medium-sized enterprises, let alone the wages of migrant workers. In the middle, we can only squeeze our own profit margins. "

Li Chuan said that although there is less possibility of bad debts in accounts receivable of government investment projects, the time period will be longer. At present, there are many lawsuits in construction enterprises, most of which are accounts receivable disputes with private owners. For government investment projects, it is more reported to the SASAC through the group, and the SASAC coordinates the settlement of accounts receivable.

According to the disclosure of Shaanxi Construction Engineering’s 2022 annual report, the reporter found that there are mainly state-owned enterprises according to the accounts receivable of the top five at the end of the period. The details are as follows: Xixian New Area Qinhan New Town Development and Construction Group Co., Ltd., Xi ‘an International Football Center Operation Management Co., Ltd., Xixian New Area Fengxi New Town Development and Construction (Group) Co., Ltd., Xixian New Area Jiaotong University Science and Technology Innovation Port Development Co., Ltd. and Yan ‘an University. The ending balances of accounts receivable are 3.045 billion yuan, 2.141 billion yuan, 1.578 billion yuan, 1.332 billion yuan and 1.267 billion yuan respectively. Five entities account for 5.63% of the accounts receivable of Shaanxi Construction Engineering.

Although the account period of government investment projects and state-owned enterprise investment projects is long, for construction enterprises, such projects basically account for most of the company contracts.

According to the Chongqing Construction Engineering Annual Report, in 2022, the company continued to strengthen strategic marketing and deepen strategic cooperation with local governments, state-owned investment platforms and survey and design consulting units. In the whole year, 43.55 billion yuan of government and state-owned investment projects were newly signed, accounting for more than 59%.

In addition, the annual report of Shanghai Construction Engineering revealed that in 2022, the company signed a total of 451.687 billion yuan of new contracts, of which construction business and government investment projects accounted for 29%, an increase of 11 percentage points over the same period of the previous year; State-owned enterprise investment projects accounted for 55%, and the total ratio of the two reached 84%, which continued a good business pattern.

Regarding the problem that the account period of government investment projects and state-owned enterprise investment projects is too long, Zhang Wen told reporters that the main reason for the increase in the arrears of accounts receivable of construction enterprises in urban investment and PPP cooperation projects is the decline in land transfer income, tax reduction and fee reduction, which has increased the financial pressure on local governments and urban investment companies; Secondly, in recent years, the supervision of PPP projects has become stricter, and some PPP projects have hidden debt risks, which affects the timely payment of projects. For construction enterprises, this phenomenon undoubtedly increases the pressure of capital turnover, especially for construction enterprises located in weak areas.

Viann also told reporters that according to the investigation, the increasing financial pressure of some city investment platform companies has really impacted the repayment of construction enterprises. Construction enterprises generally encountered the situation that some government platform customers delayed the payment of the project funds, and the account period was lengthened as a whole. Even some city investment platform companies with weak qualifications and weak regions have begun to show arrears in the project funds or other default signals, especially for PPP projects and investment and financing construction projects with long cooperation periods. Most of them still rely on the payment mode of the government, but there are many influencing factors such as the change of government, the change of financial situation and the change of policy, and the uncertainty of payment is further increased.

"Construction enterprises should combine their own conditions and resources, take risk control as the bottom line, not blindly expand the scale of investment and financing projects, carefully select regions and owners, pay more attention to the source and availability of project funds, and strictly isolate risks from project companies to prevent risks arising from issues such as capital advance." Viann said.

Say "No" to the huge amount of money!

Another important reason for the high accounts receivable is that the "advance payment" of construction enterprises after undertaking projects belongs to the normalization phenomenon of the industry.

Li Chuan told reporters that it is convenient for a department project to ask: "Can it be funded?" If the contractor answers no, it may be difficult to take down the project.

Li Chuan said that because of the increasingly fierce competition in the construction industry, the cost of adding various materials and labor costs is also increasing. In this context, if construction enterprises frequently advance capital, it will greatly affect the company’s profit rate and other indicators, and compress the profit space of enterprises. Even if the enterprise lacks temporary working capital, huge accounts receivable may become the last straw to crush the normal operation of the enterprise.

A person in charge of the construction legal affairs department of a central enterprise once told reporters that the problem of advance payment is closely related to the business model formed by construction enterprises and developers for a long time. Private real estate enterprises have exploded one after another, and the macro-environmental impact of the overall real estate industry has been superimposed, which has affected the recovery of accounts receivable of construction enterprises. Some private construction units such as Nantong Liujian even went bankrupt and reorganized because of debt problems.

With regard to the advance payment in the construction industry, Zhang Wen told reporters that the project owners (local governments, state-owned enterprises and real estate developers, etc.) have the demand for advance payment for construction due to the consideration of capital turnover and scale expansion, while the threshold of the construction industry is low, the degree of homogenization of enterprises is high, and the competition is fierce, forcing construction enterprises to make concessions through payment terms to undertake projects.

Viann told reporters that, on the whole, for most enterprises, the problem of advance payment is still within the tolerable range, and the profit growth and financing channels are relatively smooth, which can cover some related losses. Enterprises with strong financial strength will have more obvious advantages in project contracting, and enterprises with weak financial strength may lose opportunities in project expansion, or they may be gradually eliminated due to the untimely collection of accounts, and the Matthew effect of the industry will be further highlighted.

The chaos of subcontracting still exists.

Behind the problem of "triangular debt" in the construction industry, it is closely related to the chaos of illegal subcontracting and subcontracting in the construction industry.

Li Chuan told reporters that illegal subcontracting in the construction industry still exists, but it is relatively formal for state-owned enterprises, and some private construction enterprises subcontract more.

The reporter noted that on January 3, 2019, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Administrative Measures for the Identification, Investigation and Punishment of Illegal Acts in Construction Project Contracting and Contracting, which regulates the contracting of projects by the construction unit to individuals and the contracting of projects by the construction unit to units without corresponding qualifications.

Li Chuan said that at present, the management of project subcontracting is becoming stricter and stricter in the country, so enterprises themselves will pay attention to avoiding risks in this respect.

Secondly, talking about subcontracting, Li Chuan said that adopting subcontracting system is a common phenomenon in the construction industry. For example, after a construction enterprise bids for the project, it cooperates with many downstream subcontractors through market competition. In addition, part of the cooperation is with labor service companies. In the process of cooperation with labor service companies or subcontractors, the payment method depends on how the contract is agreed. For example, according to the progress of the project, when Party A pays a certain percentage to the construction enterprise, the construction enterprise will also pay a certain percentage of the project payment to the labor service company according to the time node agreed in the progress of the project. "But in general, when the project is completed, the construction enterprise must settle the arrears of the labor service company. Because labor service companies also have to pay wages to migrant workers. Therefore, when Party A is in arrears with accounts receivable for a long time, for construction enterprises, it is necessary to pay the funds of the labor service company, and sometimes it is necessary to borrow money to alleviate the financial pressure. " Li Chuan said.

Li Chuan said that for some construction enterprises, when the scale of accounts receivable reaches a certain level, faced with a large number of Party A’s inability to pay in time, there may be a large number of arrears owed by labor service companies or subcontractors, which is also one of the reasons for a large number of "triangular debts" in the construction industry.

Li Chuan said that in terms of specific construction, in the 1990s, enterprises generally managed their own construction employees, and then subcontracting gradually appeared, separating the labor service layer from the management layer, and pushing the labor service layer to the social level for cooperation. However, twenty years later, many construction enterprises began to set up their own labor industrial parks, and employees were paid by enterprises, so the project construction was not carried out through subcontracting, so as to avoid risks caused by subcontracting cooperation in the later stage.

Strain over the hurdle

"Triangle debt" has also become a difficult hurdle for many construction enterprises.

On June 8, a construction enterprise executive told reporters that the biggest problem facing the company at present is that the money for government projects will not come back, and it has to be funded to continue to take over the project. The advance funds for individual projects are also borrowed from banks.

State-owned project accounts will become the "last straw" to crush enterprises? Construction enterprises should pay enough attention to the problem of difficult accounts for state-owned projects.

For how to reduce the problem of accounts receivable from the source, some construction enterprises have adjusted their business ideas.

The relevant person in charge of the above-mentioned Chongqing Construction Engineering told reporters that at present, when a new project is accepted, it will be judged whether the project can be accepted according to the expected profit of the profit project and the fund planning of the project. If the advance payment is too high, many projects may be rejected internally and no longer participate in the competition. At present, the company’s business philosophy is that projects that have no expected profits or need huge advances will no longer participate.

"Because the market construction industry is not good, although a large number of projects regardless of cost will be beneficial to the company’s scale expansion, it will have an impact on the risk control and quality development of enterprises. Therefore, for projects that require huge advances, new projects are not accepted now. " The source said.

Li Chuan also said that the company began to be very cautious about the management and control of real estate. There are prudent principles when choosing the source, such as real estate development in first-tier cities.

At the same time, Li Chuan said that the company is constantly stepping up the collection efforts, generally adopting hierarchical promotion. From the group to the responsible department of the company, there are certain planned tasks to pay off debts every year, so as to increase the collection efforts of accounts receivable in an all-round way. For some accounts receivable with bad debts, the company also communicates with Party A to relieve the pressure of accounts receivable through litigation, debt in kind, creditor’s rights replacement and other ways.

The reporter noted that the policy level has also been concerned about the arrears of project funds in the field of engineering construction. For example, the Regulations on the Protection of Wage Payment for Migrant Workers (Order No.724 of the State Council), which came into effect on May 1, 2020, has made relevant provisions on the punishment responsibility of the construction unit for implementing the construction funds, failing to implement the project payment guarantee, and the responsibility for paying off wages.

Many construction enterprises also told reporters that the problem of huge accounts receivable should be treated from the source. For example, we should strengthen the standardized management from the source for the policy norms of the construction enterprise’s advance payment problem.

Viann told reporters that under the current market situation, construction enterprises should first change their business ideas, focus on high-quality development, stop blindly expanding their business scale, and put more emphasis on how to realize new contracts with income, profitable income and cash flow profits.

Viann believes that "nowadays, construction enterprises generally pay more attention to the risk control of the front-end and marketing end, such as strengthening the role of pre-evaluation of projects, strengthening due diligence on owners, and implementing business terms in detail, so as to provide a contractual basis for future settlement payments and grasp risks from the source. In addition, in the middle and back end, we should also strengthen the control of the whole process of the project, so that we can monitor the related risks in the process of project implementation in real time and make a good plan. The collection and management of "Two Funds" are no longer just considered by the Finance Department and the Treasury Department, but need the full cooperation of the departments such as market, risk control, fund, project management, finance and risk control, and all of them pay more attention to it. It is suggested that the proportion of the pressure drop of "Two Funds" in the assessment index can be increased, and the target responsible person should be implemented and the relevant rewards and punishments should be given to the collection tasks such as the payment of completed projects, the payment of projects under construction, and the expected bad debts but the collection realized.

We will increase assistance to courts in Tibet, Xinjiang and Tibetan areas in Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu and Qinghai provinces.

　　Resolutely punish judicial corruption with a zero tolerance attitude. Courts at all levels investigated and dealt with 1,011 police officers who violated the spirit of the eight central regulations, and seriously held accountable 1,762 court leading cadres who failed to perform their duties. We will continue to improve the judicial style and prevent the "four winds" issue from rebounding. Strengthen warning education and draw profound lessons from Xi Xiaoming and other cases of violating discipline and law. The Supreme People’s Court investigated and dealt with 53 police officers who violated discipline and law in our hospital, and courts at all levels investigated and dealt with 3,338 police officers who used the power of trial execution, of which 531 were transferred to judicial organs for handling.

　　Nine, consciously accept supervision, and constantly improve the work of the people’s court.

　　Consciously accept the supervision of the NPC. The Supreme People’s Court conscientiously implemented the opinions and suggestions put forward by the deputies at the successive sessions of the 12th National People’s Congress. Report to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) on comprehensively deepening judicial reform, deepening judicial openness and standardizing judicial behavior. We handled 1,381 suggestions from deputies, and listened to 4,530 opinions from deputies by attending court hearings and holding symposiums.

　　Seriously accept democratic supervision. Actively participate in Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference special consultation and other activities. Visited and received 620 CPPCC members, and handled 539 CPPCC proposals.

　　Accept the litigation supervision of procuratorial organs according to law. In conjunction with the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, we will formulate regulations on legal supervision of death penalty review and civil execution, and try protest cases filed by procuratorial organs according to law.

　　Widely accept social supervision. Carry out 360 activities such as special supervisors and special consultants’ research and discussion, and attend the audit Committee as nonvoting delegates. Through the "Dean’s Mailbox" and other platforms, the communication channels of public opinion will be unblocked. Held 117 press conferences and took the initiative to accept public opinion supervision.

　　The achievement of these achievements lies in the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the scientific guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and the leadership of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader as the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party.

　　There are still many problems and difficulties in the work of the people’s courts: First, there is still a big gap between the judicial concept, judicial ability and working mechanism and the development of the new era and the needs of the people. Second, the reform of the judicial system still needs to be further deepened. Third, there are still weak links in grass-roots infrastructure construction, and grass-roots judicial ability needs to be further improved, and the Supreme People’s Court’s supervision and guidance mechanism needs to be improved. Fourth, the internal supervision mechanism needs to be further improved. The problems of improper judicial style and irregular judicial behavior still exist, and the risk of judicial integrity is high. Some judges, bending the law, seek personal gains by taking cases, which seriously damages judicial justice. Fifth, the number of cases accepted by the people’s courts is increasing year by year, and some courts are under great pressure to handle cases. Sixth, the guarantee for judicial personnel to perform their duties needs to be strengthened, and the judicial environment needs to be further improved.

　　In 2018, the people’s courts will adhere to the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Plenary Sessions of the 19th National Congress and the Central Political and Legal Work Conference, closely focus on the overall layout of the "Five in One" and the coordinated promotion of the "Four Comprehensive" strategic layout, closely focus on the work goal of "making people feel fair and just in every judicial case", earnestly implement the resolutions of this conference, and earnestly.

　　First, thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era. Carry out full-time rotation training in national courts, continue to study the spirit of the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and work hard to understand and do it. Insist on arming the mind, guiding practice and promoting work with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, earnestly strengthen the "four consciousnesses", constantly strengthen the "four self-confidences", and resolutely safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Supreme Leader as the core and centralized and unified leadership. Accurately grasp the new requirements of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, closely integrate with reality, pay close attention to the implementation of the work, and ensure that the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee are carried out to the letter in the people’s courts.

　　The second is to punish crimes according to law and fully safeguard national security and social stability. Severely crack down on criminal activities such as infiltration, subversion, violent terror and ethnic division, actively participate in the special struggle to eliminate evil, severely punish crimes involving guns, explosives, pornography, drugs, pyramid schemes and trafficking, and safeguard the long-term stability of the country. Punish duty crimes according to law, severely punish corruption crimes that occur around the masses, and promote the organic connection between judicial trials and state supervision. Punish stakeholder crimes such as fund-raising fraud and illegal absorption of public deposits according to law, and maintain a good social order.

　　The third is to try all kinds of cases in the economic field according to law and create a good legal environment for high-quality economic development. We will improve judicial policies, try cases of bankruptcy and reorganization, financial disputes and equity disputes according to law, and serve the construction of a modern economic system. Strengthen judicial protection of property rights, protect honesty, trustworthiness and fair competition according to law, resolutely prevent economic disputes from being treated as crimes, and resolutely prevent civil liability from being turned into criminal liability. Improve the intellectual property litigation system and optimize the legal environment for scientific and technological innovation. Improve the trial mechanism of environmental resources and promote green development. Strengthen foreign-related commercial and maritime trials, set up the the Supreme People’s Court International Commercial Court, and promote the construction of the "Belt and Road" diversified dispute resolution mechanism. Strengthen the trial of cases involving Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese, and actively handle cases of mutual legal assistance. Ensure the implementation of the strategy of regional coordinated development, support the development of old revolutionary base areas, ethnic areas, border areas and poverty-stricken areas, and serve the construction of xiong’an new area, Pilot Free Trade Zone and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

　　The fourth is to uphold justice for the people and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people. To handle cases of education, employment, medical care, consumption, marriage, old-age care, etc. in accordance with the law, and promote the protection and improvement of people’s livelihood. Try all kinds of agricultural disputes according to law and serve the implementation of rural revitalization strategy. Try administrative cases according to law and effectively resolve administrative disputes. We will try military-related cases in accordance with the law and earnestly safeguard national defense security and the legitimate rights and interests of military personnel. Adhere to and develop the "Maple Bridge Experience" and provide the people with judicial services that combine online and offline, litigation and mediation. Respect and guarantee lawyers to perform their duties according to law and jointly promote fair justice. Ensure that the goal of "basically solving the implementation difficulties" is achieved as scheduled, and resolutely overcome this stubborn disease that hinders fairness and justice and harms people’s rights and interests.

　　Fifth, deepen the reform of the judicial system and improve the judicial system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. We will deepen the comprehensive reform of the judicial system and promote the experience of pilot areas such as Shanghai in a timely manner. Fully implement the judicial responsibility system. Accelerate the reform of the criminal procedure system centered on trial. Deepen the pilot reform of the system of pleading guilty and accepting punishment. Unswervingly safeguard the legal authority of the constitution, resolutely fight against all acts that violate the constitution, adhere to strict and fair justice, and ensure the independent and fair exercise of judicial power according to law.

　　Sixth, continue to deepen judicial openness and accelerate the construction of smart courts. Expand the trial live broadcast, documents online, trial process and the scope of various judicial information disclosure, and comprehensively expand the breadth and depth of judicial disclosure. Strengthen the deep integration of informatization, artificial intelligence and court work, and improve intelligent auxiliary case handling systems such as intelligent trial support, court trial voice recognition, and electronic file generation with the case. Build a world-class judicial big data research institute, deeply use trial information and promote social governance.

　　The seventh is to build an excellent team to ensure fair and honest administration of justice. Always put political construction in the first place, carry out the theme education of "Do not forget your initiative mind, keep in mind the mission" in a down-to-earth manner, and promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party and the hospital. Strengthen education and training, strengthen the research on the application of law, and effectively improve judicial ability. Strengthen grassroots construction, care for police officers, and further improve the level of grassroots justice. Consciously accept the supervision of the National People’s Congress, democratic supervision, procuratorial organ litigation supervision and social supervision. Adhere to the anti-corruption no-go zone, resolutely punish judicial corruption with a zero-tolerance attitude, and create a clean and honest judicial environment.

In order to whitewash her academic history, Liang Ying of Nanjing University "silently" removed all published Chinese papers.

However, this is not the most "malicious" because-

We recently found that the organizer of an academic conference had also "silently" removed 1258 manuscripts! Yes, you are not mistaken.

In a meeting, 1,258 manuscripts were withdrawn.

This is the "2011 International Conference on E-commerce and E-government" jointly sponsored by IEEE and Shanghai University in 2011.

Many people are familiar with IEEE. Its Chinese name is "Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers", which is an international association of electronic technology and information science engineers and is considered as "the largest non-profit professional technical society in the world at present".

However, we are going to talk about the above academic conference later. Because-

IEEE quietly withdrew, far more than the papers of this meeting!

In the past ten years, IEEE, as a conference organizer, has withdrawn more than 7,000 papers and abstracts of its own conferences, almost all of which were written by China.

The reporter dug up the retraction of conference papers by IEEE from 2008 to 2017 from the retraction observation database, which scared skr people.

A total of 7,263 papers were withdrawn, of which 6,866 were from China.

Emmmm…… … Who can tell me what happened in 2010 and 2011? !

As a result, the reporter dug out the papers from China in the withdrawn manuscripts in 2010 and 2011 from the massive database information, and vomited blood to sort out the following chart:

The number of conference papers/abstracts withdrawn by IEEE in 2010 from China (data source: TheRetractionWatchDatabase).

The question is, what was this peak in September 2010?

Continue searching

From September 1 ST to September 6 th, everything was calm and no draft was withdrawn. But this is just the calm before the storm.

No, on September 7th, IEEE withdrew 455 conference papers and abstracts, including-

In 20103, 348 articles of rdinternational conference on computerscience and information technology were published.

In the next few days, it was withdrawn—

129 articles of International Conference on Management and Service Science in 2010.

In 2010, there were 289 articles in The2NdConference OnenvironmentScience and Information Application Technology.

Please pay attention to these three meetings, because their names will appear later.

Look at the situation in 2011:

The number of conference papers/abstracts withdrawn by IEEE in 2011 from China (data source: TheRetractionWatchDatabase).

The question comes again. What was this peak in June 2011?

The reporter then searched, and found the conference mentioned at the beginning of this article-"2011 International Conference One-Business-Government" (2011 International Conference on Electronic Commerce and E-Government), and the peak in June completely "relied" on this conference.

According to ten years of data retrieval and analysis, the reporter compiled a list of meetings with more than 100 articles withdrawn:

See, the three meetings that attracted everyone’s attention before are all on the list, ranking fifth, ninth and eleventh.

Through this table and the previous retrieval, we draw the following conclusions:

1. Among more than 7,000 conference manuscripts withdrawn by IEEE in the past 10 years, these 12 conferences accounted for "half of the country".

2. The meetings with serious retraction were concentrated in 2010 and 2011.

3. The venues of 12 international conferences are all in China.

Of course, we haven’t finished here, and we have also "deeply" these meetings.

For example, the first meeting, which is mentioned at the beginning of the article, has such a brief introduction in "Baidu Entry".

Screenshot source: Baidu Encyclopedia

Pay attention to the words in the red box, "EI full-text core retrieval was completed within two months after the meeting, which shocked the academic circles and won the praise and praise of the majority of authors."

The second-ranked meeting doesn’t seem to be "praised and praised by the majority of authors" like the first-ranked meeting:

Screenshot source: Baidu Encyclopedia

The fifth conference introduced itself on the official conference blog:

Screenshot source: official blog of ESIAT2010 conference

It seems that whether it can be included in EI and how high the retrieval rate is are matters that contributors and conference organizers are very concerned about!

Of course, we also pay attention to the repeated name of the conference organizer in the table-International Association for Computer Science and Information Technology:

Screenshot source: IACSIT official website.

For many contributors from China, the last sentence in the introduction-"The papers received at our meeting will be published in famous journals and submitted to major indexing service platforms for retrieval" may be very attractive.

After the shock and sigh, we continue to uphold the rational tradition-

Why are all Chinese’s papers withdrawn? Why is this happening? With these questions, we interviewed some experts.

During the interview, most experts asked for anonymity.

After refusing to be interviewed, an expert told a bunch of heartfelt truths-

However, despite this, we have heard many people’s voices, including many experts who dare to face the problem directly and answer questions with their real names.

Question 1: Why are conference papers/abstracts prone to problems?

Anonymous expert a:

"Compared with journals, the publication time of conference papers will be faster, and the review and revision will be less rigorous. Conference papers are usually only reviewed in the first instance, and some good conferences will have two trials, but journals generally have two or even three trials, and the papers in journals will be more rigorous and fewer.

There are special editors in charge of the periodical review process, so the quality is generally controllable, and many periodicals are time-tested and mature. The meeting is generally aimed at some hot issues. As soon as some people propose it, they will hold a meeting, and then the meeting will set up an organizational Committee to review the manuscript through the procedural Committee. If the program committee members are not so strict, quality problems will easily occur. "

Question 2: Why do most of the papers of the withdrawn conference come from China? What does this phenomenon mean?

Professor Li Daguang, Department of Science Communication, Chinese Academy of Sciences:

"The problem of international conferences in China: Now the conferences have a bad trend, and they are getting bigger and bigger. By this, I mean the large scale, strong publicity and great effect. The bigger the conference, the lower its value. I call it’ legal academic corruption’, which costs a lot but has almost no high-value academic achievements."

Zhang Baiping, Researcher, Institute of Geographical Sciences and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences:

"Some so-called publications are fooling Chinese, and they are useless except to prove that Chinese is a fool. All the publications that can be published in large numbers are bad publications. "

Anonymous expert b:

"This phenomenon shows: quick success and instant benefit (administration)+too much evaluation (administration)+insufficient groups with high academic appreciation = counting evaluation = pursuing quantity = scientific research is untrustworthy."

Anonymous expert c:

"Publishing articles should be a natural description of scientific research, not a demand for benefits. When it becomes a benefit, it is not surprising that there are moths."

Question 3: IEEE told the media that a committee composed of employees and volunteer experts has been set up to serve as the "gatekeeper" of conference materials and provide additional quality control. What should China do next?

Feng Qi, a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science, China Academy of Sciences:

"If the country is talking about scientific research integrity, it should clear those who like to make fakes out of the scientific research team, because people who make fakes are not suitable for living in the field of science and technology, and the act of making fakes violates the most basic and most natural principle that people engaged in scientific research should abide by-seeking truth from facts."

Anonymous expert a:

"There were many conferences aimed at retrieving the number of papers in the first decade. In recent years, with the improvement of everyone’s level and the strengthening of academic norms, such meetings have been much less.

Generally speaking, judging the influence of the conference depends on the citation rate, admission rate and citation of the paper. The better the citation of papers, the lower the admission rate, indicating that the quality of this conference is relatively high. However, the number of papers admitted is not an important indicator of this conference. On the contrary, there are many high-quality and influential conferences with few papers.

It should be noted that if the manuscript is withdrawn only because there is no strict peer review process, this is different from the nature of bad academic behaviors involving plagiarism and fraud. "

Li Daguang:

"According to the response of IEEE, it is certain that these papers do not meet the requirements of international journals. This may not be the same as plagiarism of journal papers.

When attending international conferences or publishing foreign periodicals, Chinese didn’t quite understand their specifications and requirements for several reasons. First, he didn’t know much about foreign conference papers and periodicals. Second, students or researchers receive less relevant training. Thirdly, the content of culture and policy is mixed in the paper, and the typical Chinese expression will not meet the requirements of international conference submission.

When it comes to plagiarism, in fact, most researchers are unintentional. They think they are quoting other people’s content, but they make mistakes because they don’t understand the relevant citation norms. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they need to strengthen the training of students and researchers in academic norms and accept the training of paper expression in the international context, which can be trained by old editors, scientists of academic journals or scientific communicators who are familiar with this field. "

In May this year, the general offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council issued "Several Opinions on Further Strengthening the Construction of Scientific Research Integrity", proposing to establish a lifelong investigation system, and to investigate and deal with acts that seriously violate the requirements of scientific research integrity in accordance with the law.

In addition, on October 23, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other five departments also issued a document to carry out a special campaign to clean up "only papers, only professional titles, only academic qualifications, only awards".

How will our relevant departments deal with so many situations discovered this time? We will continue to pay attention to …

Editor-in-Chief of springer Nature Group: The withdrawal of papers is part of the scientific process.

"I think retraction is part of the scientific process. Many problematic papers can only be discovered after publication, and at this time, the phenomenon of retraction will inevitably occur. "

On the withdrawal of forged papers: the phenomenon of withdrawal is "inevitable"

Q: Would you like to comment on the recent incident of "withdrawing manuscripts" at Harvard University? Under what circumstances will Nature request to withdraw its manuscript? What measures will academic publications take to avoid similar things to the maximum extent?

Philip Campbell: I won’t comment on the specific events, but I can really comment on the retraction.

For Nature, as soon as we find something incorrect in the manuscript, we will withdraw it-I think this is part of the scientific process.

In fact, as far as retraction is concerned, only 50% may be due to academic misconduct, but many of them need to be retracted for very honest reasons.

We will be happy to comply with these retraction, and we are glad to be able to withdraw the manuscript for those cases that have been retracted due to dishonest reasons.

Because for scientific journals, we should correct these records instead of focusing on finding out who to blame in related events.

You also asked what we can do to reduce this phenomenon? It should be said that this is very difficult.

Because in fact, many other scientists will try to repeat his experiment only after the publication of the paper. When they can’t get the results of the corresponding experiment and realize that the experiment can’t be copied, we may find that there may be problems with the paper at that time.

For journalists, editors or peer reviewers, they can only trust what the author describes in their own papers.

In this case, most of the time, only after the first publication, in the later development of events, I realized that there might be problems at that time, that is to say, this phenomenon will inevitably occur.

I think there may be a way to reduce the probability of this happening, that is, our journal will continue to insist that authors describe and disclose their work in their papers comprehensively, because if authors can do so, it will greatly reduce their chances of hiding fraud or cheating.

Q: Speaking of peer review, it seems that there are few peer reviewers in developing countries.

Philip Campbell: We will find more peer reviewers by attending academic conferences, visiting laboratories and listening to academic reports. We should see these scientists with our own eyes and communicate with them at the same time. Moreover, we should hear others mention these scholars and scientists.

There are more and more papers published now, and once we find new peer reviewers, we will seek their help.

As for the number of peer reviewers, there is indeed some imbalance between different countries, and we are committed to changing this situation, but we can only do what we can now.

Q: In September, Nature published a report, saying that thousands of authors publish a paper every five days, many of them from China. What’s your comment on this?

Philip Campbell: I saw the relevant report. I don’t know how they did it. We do try our best to identify the authors-those who have contributed to the paper.

The situation you mentioned may be that some people just added a name to other people’s papers. We are trying our best to avoid this situation.

Now I don’t know if the person mentioned in this report has the author of Nature, but this matter really needs to be studied and investigated, and those universities involved should also take measures to investigate.

Q: How to avoid similar academic misconduct or fraud?

Philip Campbell: For academic misconduct, we can only take immediate action whenever we find or receive relevant information.

(For academic misconduct) Sometimes reviewers will find problems before publication, and sometimes someone will find problems after publication.

But in any case, we will contact the author or the author’s unit to see what happened. If academic misconduct really happens, we will take action, for example, asking to withdraw the manuscript in serious cases.

2 Talk about innovation and entrepreneurship: Young scientists should do whatever they want.

Q: Many young scientists are more willing to focus on the publication of papers than on the transformation of scientific research results. What do you think of this phenomenon? For young scientists, should we balance the relationship between publishing academic papers and transforming scientific research results?

Philip Campbell: I want to say that young scientists should do whatever they want.

Some young scientists want to know how the world works and improve their knowledge in this field. These scientists have received great support, including support from donors and the scientific community. There are also some young scientists who are willing to help develop products or start companies to achieve the goal of making our world healthier, fairer and more environmentally sustainable, but they have not received much support.

I think the academic system should be adjusted now to provide support for all kinds of young scientists. Some young scientists are not fully respected for doing such work, and this situation needs to be changed.

I encourage researchers to do the research they want to do and take their brains with them-this passion is very important, whether he or she wants to solve a fundamental problem or a specific practical problem, if he or she is good enough, he or she can do it as long as he or she has passion.

However, as a member of academic circles, young scientists really need to publish papers and communicate their research results with the world in the form of papers.

Q: China has ranked second in the world in terms of scientific research input and output, but we still feel that there is a big gap compared with the most advanced level in many fields. How do you evaluate the present situation and level of scientific research in China?

Philip Campbell: I have been dealing with China for 20 years. I have visited China many times, and I have been deeply impressed by the China government’s investment in science and technology for many times.

I think all efforts will pay off, even in the most competitive scientific fields.

If you look at the articles published in the academic journal Nature, there may be only four or five papers from scientists in China a year 10 years ago, but now it even reaches hundreds a year.

Therefore, I have no reason not to think that this situation will continue to develop, and the level of scientific research in China will continue to expand and deepen.

3 Talking about the memory of the editor-in-chief of Nature: full of expectations for the discovery of extraterrestrial life

Q: What do you think is the biggest change you have brought after leading Nature magazine for 22 years?

Philip Campbell: I think the biggest change is that Nature, as a magazine, has greatly expanded and increased in scale.

When I first became the editor-in-chief of Nature, its content as a magazine was very limited, and most of it focused on scientific policy. Now, Nature has a lot of other contents, including opinions and news reports.

It is also very important for readers to realize that Nature is also a magazine, at least as heavy as its weight as a periodical.

Moreover, we are now allowed to promote these changes within Nature, such as promoting more reliable science, promoting better management and treating young scientists. These are some of the work we are doing now.

In addition, as an academic journal, Nature has now published more fields than in the past, and has also published fields that have not been published before, such as organic chemistry, social science, high-energy physics and so on.

In this sense, this part of Nature as an academic journal has also expanded.

Q: In the post of editor-in-chief of Nature for 22 years, what are the most exciting breakthroughs in natural science in the near future? What is the latest Internet product that makes you feel attractive?

Philip Campbell: I said that Nature is both an academic journal and a magazine. I have special memories in both aspects.

Dolly, the cloned sheep, is a good example. At that time, I had just been the editor-in-chief of Nature for a short time, and this incident surprised us very much at that time.

Of course, for researchers, they don’t think so But everything that happened afterwards, including all kinds of debates around cloned sheep, surprised everyone.

I was also very excited about the "Human Genome Project" since then, including the Flores discovered later in Indonesia.

Many unexpected things happened, which also left a very deep impression on me.

As for what excites me recently, I think it is the discovery of extraterrestrial planets.

Before, we only knew the planet Earth, but we didn’t know the planets orbiting other stars, but now we know that there are billions and billions of such planets.

I especially hope to find life on such an extraterrestrial planet in the future.

Perhaps, they are not intelligent beings who can communicate with us directly, but at least they may be able to find some signs in the atmosphere of a planet, indicating that there may be some microorganisms or other types of life on this planet, which will make me very excited.

In the field of Internet, I think Wikipedia is a particularly great achievement, which has a great influence on me.

In all fields of science, Wikipedia provides people with a huge treasure house of knowledge, which is not only for me personally, but also for everyone. It makes knowledge very extensive and accessible.
