As the situation in Iran continues to be tense, U.S. President Trump’s latest statement can be described as “adding fuel to the fire.” Yesterday (6th), Trump posted on social platforms that in addition to
A section of waterfront greenway along the Zongzao Bang in Miaoxing Town, Baoshan District is originally a good place for surrounding residents to relax and exercise. However, recently some citizens reported to the People's Voice Express of Jiefang Daily and Shangguan News that the greenway near the Intelligent Park has fallen off stones and sandy roads, which not only affects the look and feel, but also brings inconvenience to citizens running and walking.
The reporter visited the site and found that this section of the greenway, which was built about five years ago, has indeed suffered varying degrees of damage. In some areas, the stones are loose and the road surface is uneven, and it is in urgent need of maintenance and repair.
In recent years, with the advancement of the shoreline improvement and reconstruction project in the Baoshan section of Zhongzaobang, continuous waterfront public spaces have gradually been formed along both sides of the river. Among them, the Miaohang section starting from the Gonghe New Road Viaduct in the east and ending at Kangning Road Bridge in the west is one of the earliest sections to be completed. This waterfront greenway is about 1.4 kilometers long and will be officially opened in June 2021. The greenway is close to Zhaizaobang, and to the north is the Intelligent Park and surrounding corporate parks. After its completion, this greenway quickly became a popular place for nearby residents to exercise, walk, and walk.
On March 4, reporters went to the scene and found that the greenway was wide and the overall environment was comfortable and pleasant: the river flowed slowly, and reeds and other plants planted on the bank swayed gently in the wind. The greenway laid along the river bank is more than 3 meters wide. The blue area is a jogging track and the gray area is for walking. At the scene, some people were jogging with headphones on, some residents were walking together in twos and threes, and some parents were pushing strollers slowly forward.
After walking along the greenway for a certain distance, you can see that the surface of the greenway, which was originally uniform in color, has become patchy with light-colored mottled areas. If you look closely, you will see that these light-colored patches are traces of falling stones. The reporter squatted down and gently moved his hands on the surface of the greenway, and found that the small stones on the surface had obviously loosened or fallen off. When you step lightly with your feet, you can feel the gravel rolling slightly under the soles. With a few kicks, many small stones are picked up and rolled towards the grass on the roadside.
The fine stones on the surface of the green road have been significantly loosened or fallen off.
Continuing forward, the damage on the green road surface gradually increases. Irregular light-colored patches can be seen from time to time on the runway, some are only the size of a palm, and some extend into a strip of one or two meters long. In some areas, the stones have fallen away to reveal a smooth base, in stark contrast to the rough surrounding surfaces. The originally flat feeling of the greenway has disappeared in these places, leaving only shallow depressions in the center of the road. When walking, you can feel the unevenness of the road surface when you step on it.
The central joint of the road surface has fallen off more seriously.
The road surface damage is particularly serious in the section near the entrance and exit of the greenway. The stones here are falling off in pieces, making the surface rough and uneven. The reporter stood on the spot and stomped his feet gently. A few gravels immediately rolled out from the edge of the soles and fell aside. At the same time, the white dividing lines originally used to separate the greenway areas are also showing signs of aging. Some of the lines have cracked and peeled, while in other places there are only intermittent traces left. Dark patch-like repair marks can also be seen locally, creating a color difference from the surrounding road surface.
Potholes and dark patch-like repair marks can also be seen locally, creating a color difference from the surrounding road surface.
An old man who was walking along the river told reporters that he lived nearby and walked here almost every day. "It was very smooth when it was first repaired. Now the road surface is completely broken in some places. Walking is better, but you may have to be careful when running." Near a turn on the greenway, a parent who was taking his child skateboarding also noticed the changes in the road surface. "There are potholes in some places. I will remind the children to slow down when they walk."
The reporter noticed that there was a "Shanghai Greenway" sign on one side of the greenway, with "Non-motorized vehicles prohibited from entering" clearly marked below. However, people were still seen riding shared bicycles passing on the greenway from time to time. Some residents believe that these cycling behaviors will also have a certain impact on the road surface, "the wear and tear on the road surface is relatively large."
The situation of falling stones is particularly serious near the entrance and exit of the greenway.
The reporter consulted industry insiders and learned that in a rainy and humid environment, if the base treatment of the greenway is not smooth enough, or the bonding force between the aggregates is insufficient, problems such as scattered stones and sand on the surface may occur after a few years of use. Generally speaking, for local small areas where stones are scattered, reinforcement materials can be applied and aggregates can be added; if the road surface is seriously aged, some road sections need to be re-paved.
Therefore, many citizens hope that relevant departments can strengthen subsequent daily maintenance and inspections while paying attention to the construction of the greenway, so that this waterfront greenway can not only maintain a good landscape effect, but also provide citizens with a safer and more comfortable leisure and sports space.
According to The Paper: On the afternoon of March 8, the third plenary session of the fourth session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee was held in the Great Hall of the People. Pan Jianwei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Jiusan Society, and Executive Vice President of the University of Science and Technology of China, said in a speech on behalf of the Central Committee of the Jiusan Society that there is still a lack of systematic cultivation of students' pioneering spirit, and called for a significant increase in the proportion of inspiring and open-ended questions in key examinations such as the college entrance examination.
Pan Jianwei said that the journey of Chinese-style modernization is historically intersecting with a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. At this critical stage, comprehensively enhancing independent innovation capabilities and seizing the commanding heights of technological competition have become "must-answer questions" that must be completed and cannot be missed.
Pan Jianwei said that the scientific spirit is the inner driving force for seeking truth and pragmatism, rational criticism, and bravely climbing to the top, and is the "soul" of scientific undertakings. Innovation culture is a social atmosphere and basic conditions that encourages exploration, tolerates failure, and is open to cooperation. It is the "soil" that nourishes innovation. The two complement each other and together form an indispensable cultural foundation for achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. However, we must also clearly realize that there are still some problems that cannot be ignored.
First, there is still a lack of systematic cultivation of students' pioneering spirit, and the talent foundation that supports self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology from the source needs to be consolidated; second, the utilitarian tendency of the scientific research ecosystem needs to be reversed urgently, and the reform of "breaking the four only" (only papers, only professional titles, only academic qualifications, and only awards) needs to be deepened, and there is insufficient support and guidance for dedicated research; third, the failure of exploratory research. The inclusive mechanism has not yet been perfected, which inhibits the original innovation courage of scientific researchers "from 0 to 1"; fourth, the exploration, transformation and dissemination of innovative genes in China's excellent traditional culture are not sufficient; fifth, open cooperation in science and technology has encountered challenges, and the long-term effect of foreign scientific and cultural exchanges and mutual learning is insufficient. The international influence of our country's innovation culture needs to be improved.
To this end, he suggested that education reform should be used to build a solid foundation for scientific spirit. Promote the educational paradigm from knowledge dissemination to literacy development, and systematically cultivate students' scientific thinking and exploration abilities. Significantly increase the proportion of inspiring and open-ended test questions in key examinations such as the college entrance examination, and guide teaching to shift from knowledge transfer to problem exploration and thinking. Strengthen teachers' inquiry-based teaching ability training to ensure that students' empirical thinking, critical thinking and creative thinking are systematically cultivated in the main classroom position. In social science popularization work, more attention should also be paid to the education and popularization of scientific spirit.
Release innovation vitality through evaluation reform. Effectively implement the principle of "whoever employs, evaluates", and give employers more rights to formulate and evaluate talent standards. Government departments need to further strengthen macro policy guidance and services, weaken direct micro-evaluation of talent projects, encourage and guide social forces such as enterprises and foundations to set up talent awards with strong professionalism and high credibility, so that talent evaluation can be more closely integrated with industry needs and scientific frontiers. Establish a long-term evaluation mechanism to encourage scientific researchers to be indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to sit on the "cold bench" and devote themselves to long-term research on key problems.
Use institutional design to accommodate failure in exploration. In major frontier projects, a "failure tolerance" mechanism with "due diligence and compliance" as the core should be established. For explorations that have not achieved the goal but have fulfilled their responsibilities, we must be tolerant based on reality, incorporate experience into the knowledge base, and provide institutional guarantee for challenging "no man's land".
Absorb innovative wisdom through cultural heritage. Systematically sort out the philosophical ideas and scientific methods contained in Chinese civilization, such as "investigating things to gain knowledge", "renovating old things and innovating new things", and "heavenly work opens things up", and develop and sublimate them in the scientific research practice of promoting Chinese modernization. Integrate their essence into scientific research ethics, general courses and talent training systems to create a Chinese innovation culture with profound foundation and distinctive characteristics.
Cultivate a culture of innovation through mutual learning among civilizations. Be more proactive in integrating into the global innovation network and promote in-depth dialogue between scientific spirit and innovation culture in exchanges. Focus on learning from the effective systems and cultural essences of other countries that cultivate scientific spirit and encourage exploration and innovation; at the same time, in the process of solving common challenges of mankind, we should demonstrate and enhance the conceptual appeal and international influence of our country's innovative culture.
Pan Jianwei finally called for the joint efforts of all sectors of society to make advocating science and pursuing innovation a common practice throughout society, and to inject the deepest and most lasting innovation power into the grand cause of Chinese-style modernization.
The reform of the GEM and the pilot registration system are another major change in the capital market in recent years after the Science and Technology Innovation Board. Many investors who have not previously opened the GEM authority are gearing up. With the change in the GEM opening authority, which means that it can be opened online, brokerages have already started the "GEM account opening war." Judging from what reporters from China Securities Journal learned, securities firms pay special attention to attracting customers through online channels.
Investors flock to GEM
After the announcement of the launch of the GEM reform, securities firms responded immediately. Guosen Securities stated that it formulated the business process and revised the risk disclosure document as soon as possible, and made business and technical preparations. On April 29, it launched the online self-service GEM function.
"After receiving the communication from the exchange on the evening of April 28, all departments spent the night interpreting and studying the new regulatory regulations, launched the 'Online Launch of GEM' project, and completed business plan formulation, system development and function launch within 24 hours." said a person from China Merchants Securities.
Previously, investors were required to go to the brokerage business department to sign the "GEM Market Investment Risk Disclosure Statement" to open the GEM authority. Although the single condition of "on-site signing" is not difficult, it still caused trouble for some investors. In order to cooperate with the reform of the GEM and pilot the registration system, the newly revised "Implementation Measures for the Management of Investor Suitability of the GEM of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (Revised in 2020)" no longer requires on-site processing.
Against this background, coupled with good expectations for the reform of the GEM, investors are increasingly enthusiastic about opening the GEM. Liu Ming (pseudonym), head of the sales department of a small securities firm in Shenzhen, told a China Securities Journal reporter that after the announcement of the GEM reform, the number of investors requesting access to the GEM began to surge, and many investors called to inquire about related opening matters.
A relevant person from Ping An Securities said that Ping An Securities has launched the online GEM access function. So far, the number of new GEM customers has exceeded 10,000, and 15,000 existing customers have signed risk disclosure forms.
It should be noted that the threshold for opening GEM permissions has increased. Investors who open new accounts need to meet the entry threshold of average daily assets of 100,000 yuan in the first 20 trading days and 24 months of trading experience.
"Although the opening of GEM permissions this time is not as popular as the opening of the Science and Technology Innovation Board last year, and the threshold for opening GEM permissions has also been raised to a certain extent, it is still far lower than the 500,000 threshold of the Science and Technology Innovation Board, so GEM account opening is still quite popular." Liu Ming said.
Online becomes the main battlefield
The latest data from China Securities Depository and Clearing Co., Ltd. show that as of March 2020, there were more than 160 million A-share account investors (natural persons), and the number of investors with GEM authority was 46.7587 million. GEM account openings accounted for less than 30%. This means that securities firms still have a lot to do in attracting investors who open new accounts on the GEM.
Brokerages are actively attracting investors to open GEM access online. China Securities News reporters can see advertising pages on multiple brokerage apps to attract investors to open GEM online, and some even use them as opening ads for their own apps.
"This GEM reform requires a short response time, which poses a great challenge to securities companies. Although the control standards of all parties in the industry are different and there is no reference plan, Ping An Securities uses technological empowerment and relies on the suitability management center previously built based on self-research. Through relevant mature models, it can automatically identify customer signature types and control them in accordance with the strictest rules. At the same time, it has unified online entrances for various scenarios such as re-signing, new signing, and transfer of signatures, achieving full online and around-the-clock business processing, which greatly improves the customer experience." said a person from Ping An Securities.
China Merchants Securities said: “In terms of opening GEM accounts and acquiring customers, the sales department has always used a combination of offline and online methods. Currently, it is more focused on online methods to open GEM accounts and attract customers. Specifically, through the China Merchants Zhiyuan One-Account APP, it guides customers who meet the suitability requirements to open GEM by themselves.”
Strengthen investor education
The reform of the GEM is a major benefit to the capital market, but changes in related trading systems, such as no price limit on the price of new shares in the first five trading days after listing on the GEM, and then the price limit raised from the current 10% to 20%, have also increased investors' trading risks, and securities firms are currently stepping up their efforts to educate investors.
The aforementioned Ping An Securities relevant person pointed out that after the GEM reform was clarified, Ping An Securities stepped up preparations for the promotion of GEM account opening and investment education work, and timely updated content including GEM dynamic topics, GEM online account opening promotion pages, interpretation of the GEM registration system reform, investment education Q&A on risk disclosure, etc. "The rich investment education and promotion content allows investors to easily and conveniently understand the new regulations of the GEM, and open an account online with less worry and effort. At the same time, Ping An Securities continues to promote scientific investment concepts to customers, and provides customers with high-quality and professional investment consulting services with the help of scientific investment advisory products to enhance customer recognition."
China Merchants Securities stated that it will further strengthen investor education and guide existing GEM customers to open registration-based GEM rights. We will do a good job in investor publicity and education through the official account of the China Merchants Securities Investment Education Base; we will do a good job in promoting reform and investment education through the online investment education activities of the sales department; in the future, we will also do a good job in promoting and opening the GEM through online precision marketing.
Guosen Securities stated that it actively carried out GEM investor education work and immediately published GEM investment education articles on its official WeChat account to popularize the GEM registration system and introduce the permission opening process to investors, with nearly 90,000 reads.
Zhou Yanfang, a deputy to the National People’s Congress and director of the China Pacific Insurance Strategic Research Center (ESG Office), initially paid attention to the discretionary guardianship system. It was the care needs raised by some older families with mental disabilities when the insurance industry was developing insurance trust business.
"Trust companies usually ask about the family situation of their clients. For example, parents of some autistic children are worried that after they become mentally disabled or pass away, their adult children without full capacity for civil conduct will have no one to take care of them. The guardianship system may be the only way out for these families at this stage." Zhou Yanfang told China Business News.
Specifically, this "way out" is to solve the problem of social guardianship and property management of children with autism or other mental disabilities after the death of their parents, as well as the use of property for long-term care, medical treatment and other needs scenarios, through the method of "willed guardianship + will-specified guardianship".
Faced with the intertwined issues of aging and disability, during this year's National Two Sessions, many representatives and committee members focused their attention on the discretionary guardianship system. “Decided guardianship is highly dependent on notary agencies, but nearly 45% of notary agencies across the country have not handled this business”, “social guardianship is ‘difficult to find and do’”, and “prominent cross-department information barriers” have become their concerns.
In addition, in response to the "support gap" problem of family care for special groups in adulthood, some representatives also called for increasing inclusive financial support, promoting special needs trusts, and expanding the coverage of long-term care insurance.
Three shortcomings on the supply side: guardianship, notarization and care
Can a suitable guardian be found? After the guardianship agreement comes into effect, who will supervise the guardian to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the ward?
According to industry insiders, these are the two major difficulties in implementing the discretionary guardianship system. Behind these two major problems, they both point to shortcomings in supply-side capacity building and the trust relationship between supply and demand that still needs to be established.
Voluntary guardianship is an arrangement made in advance by adults with full civil capacity for their future guardianship affairs according to their own wishes. When the adult loses or partially loses his or her capacity for civil conduct, a pre-selected guardian (including natural persons and organizations) will perform guardianship duties.
As a new system, voluntary guardianship first appeared in the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly" revised in 2012. The new "General Principles of the Civil Law" implemented in 2017 expanded the scope of application of the guardianship system from the elderly to all adults with full capacity for civil conduct.
"Families for the elderly and disabled" are a special and more complex type of subjects with voluntary guardianship needs that are applicable to the law. These families are faced with two generations of guardianship problems - elderly parents are worried that their children will not be able to provide for them when they are old, and they are also worried that after their death, the lives of their autistic or mentally disabled children will not be guaranteed. Once they have large medical needs, no one will be able to dispose of their property in a timely manner.
"About 40% of families with intellectual disabilities are unable to find relatives to assume guardianship responsibilities, and social guardianship faces the dilemma of 'difficult to find and difficult to do' due to high risks." Feng Fan, a representative of the National People's Congress and a lawyer at Guoco Law Firm (Nanchang), believes that currently 20 million families of individuals with intellectual and mental disabilities face multiple "double elder" care dilemmas.
Cai Sheng, chairman of Guangzhou Liwan District Harmonious Society Guardianship Service Center, also said in an interview with China Business News that the biggest obstacle to the implementation of the guardianship system is the lack of suitable and reliable guardians. "Especially when we are dealing with some elderly clients who are around 70 years old, they may not have much time left to find a guardian, and their relatives of the same generation may not be able to assume guardianship responsibilities."
Shanghai is a city where there are many demands and implementation practices for the guardianship system, and local laws and regulations are relatively complete. Before the two sessions this year, Zhou Yanfang conducted a survey on the implementation of Shanghai's voluntary guardianship system. During this period, Zhou Yanfang discovered that even in Shanghai, there was a serious shortage of local professional social guardianship organizations. “In Shanghai, there are only three social organizations engaged in voluntary guardianship.”
There are also opinions in the industry that at present, social guardianship service organizations do not have strong credibility. Since there are very few social guardianship service organizations approved by the civil affairs department, most of which are private, non-enterprise units. At the same time, the attitude of some places to support the socialization of guardianship is still unclear, and there are no specific policies to encourage and guide. Both supply and demand parties have a wait-and-see attitude.
But for families with autism or mental illness, the situation may be different. Some people in the autism field interviewed said that in recent years, blood guardianship has been difficult to find, and the unwillingness of relatives to take over guardianship responsibilities has increased. Related families are even more willing to make "social guardianship" the first choice.
"Reliable social guardianship agencies" are difficult to find, and the notarial force that supervises the implementation of guardianship responsibilities also has certain shortcomings.
Zhou Yanfang observed that in foreign practice, notarial intervention is not necessarily required for intended guardianship. However, under China's national conditions, guardianship is highly dependent on notary institutions. However, due to complex notarization procedures and high liability risks, nearly 45% of notary institutions across the country have not handled voluntary guardianship services, and service resources are mainly concentrated in a few municipalities and provincial capitals.
In addition to notary agencies, the Civil Code also gives relevant responsibilities to neighborhood (village) committees, which can, to a certain extent, make up for the insufficient number and capacity of notary agencies in some areas. However, during Zhou Yanfang’s research in Shanghai, she found that the willingness of neighborhood (village) committees to play the role of “supervisors” in the voluntary guardianship system is not sufficient.
"First, there is a lack of professional capabilities; second, it requires a lot of time and energy; third, once disputes and public opinion occur, the village committee cannot bear responsibility." Zhou Yanfang believes that due to unclear division of powers and responsibilities, funding guarantees, and operating specifications, under ideal conditions, it is difficult for the village committee to effectively perform its functions of witnessing, supervising, and providing information in the guardianship system.
For families with autism or mental disabilities, even if they find a guardian and have a notary agency or neighborhood (village) committee as the guardian supervisor, they still face a large supply gap in fulfilling their intended guardianship needs - it is difficult to find professional institutions to provide long-term care services.
Sources from autism-related charities told reporters that at present, even in first-tier cities, there are few service institutions or elderly care institutions that can accommodate the care needs of elderly parents and disabled children at the same time. The "respite services" provided by some communities at the grassroots level cannot meet the round-the-clock needs of this group of people who require the intervention of professional medical care providers.
How to protect rights and interests during medical treatment and property disposal?
Property management is the most likely issue to cause disputes when conferring guardianship.
Behind this problem is not only the fact that the intended guardianship recipients are usually disabled and demented people, and the trustee's power boundaries are infinitely enlarged, which leads to risks such as property misappropriation and lack of care, but also because there is another completely opposite situation - the trustee may not be able to dispose of the property in a timely manner.
Regarding the former, Shanghai has piloted a "three separations of property" regulatory scheme to explore the balance between ensuring financial security and enhancing the ward's right to independent life.
A case in Jiading District, Shanghai, was mentioned in the special program "I Suggest" for the Two Sessions broadcast on the CCTV Social and Legal Channel on March 6: 44-year-old Si Lin (pseudonym) suffers from mental illness. His current guardian is a social guardianship institution in Shanghai, and this institution was chosen for him by his mother, Ms. Sun, during her lifetime. In February last year, Ms. Sun died of illness. The guardianship organization applied to the Shanghai Jiading District People's Court to change Si Lin's custody. In the end, the local government implemented the aforementioned "three-separation" plan regarding Si Lin's property management: small-amount properties were kept by Si Lin himself; fixed medical funds were kept by the guardianship organization; and large-amount funds were supervised by the notary office. If a guardian needs to use a large amount of funds, he or she must apply to the notary office. After approval, the notary office will allocate the funds directly to the corresponding institution.
Regarding the latter, Zhou Yanfang mentioned that this is partly because the current unified authoritative filing platform for guardianship agreements at the national or provincial levels has not yet been established. Information among notary offices, civil affairs, courts, medical institutions, neighborhood (village) committees, and financial institutions are not connected to each other, which has created "information islands."
"On the one hand, it makes it difficult for guardians to self-certify, and they cannot quickly prove their identity in emergency treatment, property disposal and other scenarios, which affects the protection of rights and interests; on the other hand, it can easily lead to guardianship conflicts, and courts or grassroots organizations may appoint separate guardians without knowing it, leading to conflicts between voluntary guardianship and legal guardianship, weakening the authority of the system." Zhou Yanfang said.
In this regard, Zhou Yanfang suggested that the civil affairs department should take the lead and cooperate with judicial administration, health, financial supervision, courts and other units to build a nationwide or province-wide unified registration and sharing platform for voluntary guardianship information to achieve unified collection and dynamic management of full-cycle information such as the conclusion, change, and cancellation of guardianship agreements, identification of civil capacity, and initiation and termination of guardianship.
The top-level design also needs to be improved urgently. Sun Jie, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and School of Insurance at the University of International Business and Economics, told reporters that she brought a "proposal on establishing a multi-level protection system for the guardianship plight of people living alone" at this year's National Two Sessions. Sun Jie suggested that relevant laws and policy systems should be improved to lower the implementation threshold of voluntary guardianship.
She proposed in the proposal that at the legal level, the legislative body and the Supreme People's Court should take the lead, through supplementary legislation or the issuance of special judicial interpretations, to clarify the legal validity and enforcement boundaries of guardianship or entrustment agreements in key areas such as medical care, financial payments, and government affairs processing, focusing on resolving practical stuck points such as identity recognition, medical signature rights, and property disposal rights, to eliminate compliance concerns of important service institutions such as hospitals and banks from the legal level, and ensure that guardianship or entrustment agreements can be "signed" and "worked."
In addition, Sun Jie suggested that the professional advantages of insurance companies and other commercial entities in long-term funding, risk management, and medical and elderly care industry layout should be given full play, allowing them to serve as intended guardians or provide customized services through entrustment, focusing on meeting the complex needs of people living alone in medical decision-making, disability and dementia care, property management, and posthumous affairs processing, etc., and filling the blind spots in the supply of inclusive public welfare services. Including building a national, cross-field professional service system.
In recent years, Beijing, Shanghai and other places have opened up real estate trust property registration channels, allowing non-financial assets such as real estate and equity to be included in special needs trusts to expand the scope of property used to protect people with special needs. In this context, Feng Fan believes that within the framework of the Trust Law, the reform of the national real estate trust registration system should be promoted, a unified trust registration information inquiry platform should be established, and the independence of trust property should be clarified. At the same time, special preferential tax policies have been introduced to provide tax exemptions or deferrals for real estate placement trusts, transforming trust services from "exclusive for high net worth" to universally accessible, and solving the problem of property management for families with special needs.
In order to allow more care resources to accurately reach special groups, Feng Fan also suggested expanding the coverage of long-term care insurance, effectively reducing the cost of care for families with special needs, building a multi-level payment system of "government subsidies + long-term care insurance + family payment", implementing differentiated subsidies based on differences in disability levels and care needs, and guiding social forces to participate in the provision of care services for disabled people.
On the 9th local time, Khamenei’s second son Mujtaba Khamenei was elected as Iran’s new supreme leader. Previously, U.S. President Trump issued a severe threat, claiming that Iran’s new leader without his approval “won’t last long.” The Israel Defense Forces also announced on the 8th that it would target Iran’s new supreme leader and all members of the Expert Council.
Faced with the increasing pressure from the United States and Israel, Iran responded strongly, saying that its armed forces are capable of sustaining a high-intensity war for at least six months and that it has sufficient missile reserves.

On the 9th local time, the Iranian expert meeting overwhelmingly elected Mujtaba Khamenei as the third supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Public information shows that Mujtaba Khamenei was born in 1969 and is the second son of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Qalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, said that the decision of the Iranian Expert Council to elect Mujtaba Khamenei as the Supreme Leader was "precise and clear." Qalibaf pointed out that this is a leader who is loyal, revolutionary, trusted by the people, possesses administrative ability and the ability to integrate resources. He understands the context of the times, understands the enemy's situation, and has a simple style.
Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said that despite the special situation and external threats, the Iranian expert meeting was successfully convened and the selection of the supreme leader was completed, and we should be grateful for this.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a statement congratulating Mujtaba Khamenei on his election as Iran's supreme leader and expressing support for the decision of the expert meeting. The statement stated that this election marks a new stage in the Iranian revolution and proves that the operation of the Islamic system does not depend on individuals, and that the revolution and the country will continue to move forward. The Revolutionary Guards stated that they will strictly obey the instructions issued by Mujtaba Khamenei, defend the values of the Islamic Revolution, and protect the precious legacy left by the former imam and leader of the Islamic Revolution. The Revolutionary Guards emphasized that they will make every effort to protect the command authority of the Supreme Leader and the security of the country.
Trump threatens Iran's new leader 'won't last long'
U.S. President Trump threatened on the 8th that the new leader appointed by Iran "must get our approval" otherwise "he will not last long." Trump also said that people with ties to Iran's "old regime" could be considered as Iran's new leader, and "many of them may qualify."
Trump claimed on the 5th that he "must personally participate" in selecting Iran's next leader, and threatened that he would not accept the son of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as Iran's new leader. He said that if Iran produces a new leader who "continues Khamenei's policies", it will force the United States to return to war "within five years."
Israeli military says it will "hunt" Iran's new supreme leader
The Israel Defense Forces stated on the 8th that the Israeli army will "hunt and kill" the successor of the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
An Israeli military spokesman posted in Farsi on social media that the Iranian regime was "trying to reorganize its internal order" and elect a new supreme leader. "We want to tell everyone that Israel will continue to pursue any successor and anyone who attempts to appoint a successor."
The spokesman also said that all persons participating in the Iranian expert meeting will be targeted by Israel "without hesitation". "This is a warning."
Iran says it can fight high-intensity war for six months
On the 8th, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesperson Naini said that Iran’s armed forces have the ability to continue a high-intensity war at the current pace for at least 6 months. Naini said that Iran has been equipped with heavy missiles, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, various types of drones and attack ships and other weapons and equipment in accordance with the requirements of a large-scale and long-term war. At present, Iran mainly uses first- and second-generation missiles. In the next few days, it will launch new attack methods and use advanced and less used long-range missiles to "strike the enemy more painfully and targetedly."
Larijani: Iran’s missile reserves are sufficient and ready for combat
Larijani (data map)
On the 7th, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Larijani refuted the statement that “Iran’s missile capabilities have been destroyed” in an interview. He said that Iran's missile reserves are sufficient and ready for combat at any time. The continued missile attacks on the United States and Israel have precisely proved this.
Iran: The main strategic goal is to withdraw the United States and close its Middle East bases
On March 8, local time, Iran’s First Vice President Aref stated that Iran’s main strategic goal is to promote the complete withdrawal of the United States from the Middle East and close its military bases in the region.
Aref also said that the current situation is a test for Iranian officials. He said that as long as rear protection is strengthened, Iranian combatants will fight the enemy with greater determination.

A reporter from the main station learned from the real-time flight tracking website and the news announced by the South Korean military on the 8th that as the war in the Middle East escalates, a large number of large US military transport aircraft have been leaving South Korea from the Osan Air Force Base of the US military stationed in South Korea in recent days.
South Korean media reported that at least two C-5 transport aircraft arrived at Osan Air Base at the end of February and left on February 28 and March 2 respectively. The U.S. military has not disclosed the destination of these transport planes to the outside world, but relevant flight records show that they flew for more than 14 hours and may be heading to the United States or the Middle East. According to the US military, C-5 transport aircraft are used to transport heavy equipment such as "Patriot" missile systems.
According to South Korean media, it is speculated based on the above content that the US military may have shipped some of the "Patriot" missile systems out of South Korea.
There is a precedent for some equipment of the US military stationed in South Korea being transferred to the Middle East. In June last year, in order to cooperate with the US air strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran, two "Patriot" missile systems of the US military in South Korea were temporarily deployed to the Middle East and were later transferred back to South Korea in October of the same year.
Trump: Not ruling out the possibility of sending special forces to seize Iran's enriched uranium
An oil depot in Tehran, the capital of Iran, was attacked
Trump said on the 8th that he had not ruled out the possibility of sending special forces to seize Iran's enriched uranium and that "all options are under consideration." When pressed on how long the war would last, he said he would not make predictions. Trump said not long ago that the war is expected to last 4 to 5 weeks.
Trump also said that he did not want the United States to face the same situation again in a few years, or allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons, and expressed the hope that relevant problems could be fundamentally solved through current actions.
According to news from the United States on the 7th, the United States and Israel are considering sending special forces into Iran to seize high-purity enriched uranium in the later stages of their military operations against Iran. The operation faces two major practical challenges. One is to determine the specific location of enriched uranium, and the other is how to reach the location of enriched uranium and gain control.
According to sources, this operation is not a "ground force operation" in the traditional sense, but more like a small-scale special operations raid rather than a large-scale troop entry.
U.S. President Trump said on the 7th that it was "possible" that U.S. ground troops would be sent to Iran, but there must be "a very good reason."
Dissatisfied with Israel’s attack on Iran’s fuel storage facilities
U.S.-Israel differences appear for first time
On March 8, local time, CCTV reporters learned that multiple sources said that the U.S. government was dissatisfied with Israel’s recent attack on Iran’s fuel storage facilities. This was the first clear disagreement between the United States and Israel since the outbreak of the Iran War.
It is understood that the Israeli Air Force launched air strikes on about 30 fuel storage facilities in Iran on the 8th, causing fires in many oil depots in Tehran and thick smoke covering the city. Israel said the facilities were used by the Iranian government to provide fuel to various agencies, including the military.
People familiar with the matter said that Israel had notified the United States before the operation, but the United States was surprised by the scale of the attack. A senior U.S. official said that the United States believes that this move is "not a good idea" and is worried that attacking civilian infrastructure may be strategically counterproductive. Instead, it will unite Iranian society to support the government and push up global oil prices.
Iran warned that if the attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure continue, Tehran may retaliate against regional energy facilities, saying that oil prices may rise to US$200 per barrel.
People in many countries protest against US-Israeli military attack on Iran
On March 7, people from the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa and other countries held demonstrations and rallies to protest against the military strikes launched by the United States and Israel against Iran, and demanded that the U.S. and Israeli governments stop their war actions against Iran.
A number of anti-war groups held large-scale demonstrations in London, England, on the 7th to protest against the United States and Israel's bombing of Iran, calling for an end to relevant military operations as soon as possible to avoid further escalation of the conflict.
According to statistics from the event organizers, approximately 20,000 to 30,000 people participated in the protest that day. London police said at least 5,000 people took part in the demonstration.
On the same day, hundreds of protesters held a rally called "No to Unjust Wars" in front of the U.S. Consulate General in Toronto, Canada, to protest the U.S. military strike against Iran and demand that the U.S. and Israeli governments stop the war against Iran. Outside the U.S. Consulate General in Johannesburg, South Africa, people gathered to protest against the U.S. and Israel's use of force against Iran.
