Carnivorous guide: What pigs really can’t eat is actually these three places.

Recently, "there are many pig incidents", which has also caused some friends to have some fears about pork. Fans have also privately asked Uncle Meat about which pork can and cannot be eaten in the background:

"Is it true that pig kidney has heavy metal residues and cannot be eaten?"

"Don’t eat pig lung with virus."

"The pig’s large intestine is full of poop …"

In this issue, I will focus on the questions about internal organs raised by everyone, and answer them. Let’s get to know each other!

1. Is there much heavy metal in pig liver?

Really, but not necessarily exceeding the standard!

Source: Network

There are indeed heavy metal residues in the liver of animals such as pig liver. Because pig liver is the largest detoxifier and poison transfer station in pigs, toxic and harmful substances, such as heavy metals, enter the body through metabolism, transformation, detoxification and excretion in the liver.

When the liver function declines or toxic and harmful substances are ingested more, these harmful substances will accumulate in the liver. However, the "high" content of heavy metals in pig liver does not mean that it must exceed the standard. Generally speaking, the pork liver purchased regularly is generally safe to eat. Moreover, pig liver also contains healthy nutrients such as iron and vitamins, and it is good to eat some occasionally.

Advantages:

Protein is rich (comparable to lean pork).

Lower fat (lower than lean pork)

Vitamin A is very high (it is the part with the highest vitamin A content in pigs).

Iron content (7.7 times that of lean pork)

Vitamin B2 is very high.

2. Is pig brain high in cholesterol?

Yes, but it’s okay to eat in moderation!

Source: Network

The cholesterol content in pig brain is really high. The cholesterol content in every 100 grams of pig brain is as high as 2571 mg /100 grams, and the cholesterol in an egg yolk is only about 200 mg.

However, you may not need to worry too much about cholesterol in food. It is no problem to eat pig brain normally, for example, once or twice a month.

Advantages:

There are many minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.

3. Is the pig’s large intestine oily and dirty?

Clean, cook thoroughly and eat safely.

Source: Network

But many people still think that the large intestine is dirty, because the large intestine is the place where the residue (feces) is discharged after food digestion. Because of the need to excrete food residues, there may indeed be more microorganisms in the large intestine, and parasites and pathogenic bacteria may also exist, but as long as the food residues are thoroughly cleaned, washed away and cooked thoroughly when eating, they can still be safely eaten. Of course, there is still a lot of fat in the large intestine, so take it easy when eating.

4. Is there much dust in pig lungs?

Think too much!

Source: Network

It is said that pigs love to arch the ground and have a lot of dust, so pig lungs can’t be eaten. If people breathe a lot of dust in the air, it will indeed enter the lungs, and even lead to pneumoconiosis. However, this disease is only found in people at present, and most of them are special occupational groups that need to contact with a lot of dust.

And most pigs don’t live in places with a lot of dust. Although the pig loves to dig up the soil, it won’t suck it all in like this. Therefore, pig lungs don’t have much dust.

Advantages:

Protein medium.

Low in fat

5. List of pork parts 

Come and find out.

6. The inedible parts of pork

Actually, it’s these three places

There are three parts of the pig that are inedible, namely adrenal gland, thyroid gland and diseased lymph nodes.

Adrenal gland, which is located in front of the inner edge of the pig’s kidney, is often called "small kidney". Eating the meat of adrenal gland by mistake may cause acute poisoning. The clinical manifestations are dizziness, head swelling, nausea, palpitation, general weakness, stomachache and diarrhea.

Thyroid gland, located behind the larynx and on the ventral side of trachea, is commonly known as "chestnut meat". After eating meat containing thyroid gland by mistake, symptoms such as palpitation, shortness of breath, arrhythmia, headache, tinnitus, irritability, hyperhidrosis, nausea, anorexia, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea may occur.

The pig’s lymph nodes are grayish white or yellowish bumps, which are distributed all over the pig and concentrated in the neck, commonly known as flower seed meat. Pathological lymph nodes contain a large number of bacteria and their toxins, and people who eat by mistake are prone to infectious diseases.

These places contain pig endocrine hormones, pathogenic microorganisms and other harmful substances, which have certain health risks, and are required to be removed in regular slaughter. If pork with meat stalls is found to have "three glands", don’t buy it.

In short, it is safe to eat all kinds of common pig viscera or pork if it is purchased through formal channels (such as large supermarkets) and fully washed and cooked thoroughly.

Russia embraces "Chinese payment"

one

  In Russia, UnionPay cards have a considerable coverage. The picture shows the UnionPay card logo that can be seen everywhere in the mall.

  Our reporter Wu Yanshe

  Shopping in the mall, a UnionPay card can be done; Take the subway bus and scan the code with Alipay … … China people are familiar with the "swipe card and scan code" payment method, which is rapidly spreading to more and more Russian cities and commercial service systems.

  Entering the new year, the news from unionpay international said that before the 2018 fifa world cup Games, the acceptance coverage of UnionPay cards at local ATMs and merchants’ POS terminals will be further increased to 90%. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Volgograd and other competition host cities will basically realize the barrier-free acceptance of UnionPay cards. Official website Airlines such as Aeroflot and Siberian Airlines also offer UnionPay card payment services.

  Almost at the same time, two large supermarket chains "Lianta" and "Dixie", which ranked third and fourth in Russian turnover, also said that they would officially launch Alipay system around the Spring Festival in China. Previously, Moscow’s bus, subway, paid bicycles and other urban transportation systems have announced the introduction of Alipay, which can scan the code to purchase tickets.

  Whether it is the traditional settlement mode based on UnionPay or the new mobile payment represented by Alipay, "Chinese-style payment" has accelerated its landing in Russia, but also opened up new space for future cooperation between the two sides.

  Follow the Chinese people in striding "out to sea"

  "It was our idea to accept Alipay. You know, this is one of the most popular payment methods in China. " In July last year, the central department store in Moscow, an all-Russian high-end shopping center near Red Square, launched the Alipay system for the first time. When asked by Russian media about the original intention of this move, Aleksandr Pavlov, CEO of the shopping mall, said so.

  China’s huge tourist group and spending power are the important reasons why Russian banking system is willing to cooperate with UnionPay and Alipay, and are also the interests of countless merchants who are willing to access payment systems.

  Statistics released recently by the Russian World Without Borders Tourism Association show that in 2017, more than 900,000 "visa-free" tourists from China visited, an increase of 18% over the previous year. It is estimated that during the 2018 World Cup, there will be at least 100,000 Russian tourists visiting China. According to the statistics of the Russian Embassy in China, there are more than 30,000 students studying in China and Russia, and in recent years, the number of personnel exchanges between China and Russia has exceeded 3 million.

  "We have noticed that the number of people in China continues to grow." Alexei, director of the Commercial Department of the Russian Foreign Trade Bank, said, "The potential size of this market will reach 300 billion rubles (about 33 billion yuan) per year."

  To support this view, Pavlov revealed that 9% of the turnover of Moscow Central Department Store comes from tourists from China. In Leningrad Shopping Mall in St Petersburg, another famous tourist city, the proportion of turnover contributed by China consumers is as high as 22%.

  In fact, in order to win the market and users, the payment enterprises in China are also trying their best, including "subsidies" and "concessions". Duty-free shops and shopping malls in major airports in Russia often post preferential information similar to "15% discount on UnionPay cards", and Alipay also attracts users with "the best exchange rate". In the Gagarin Square business district in Moscow, there are many shops, and more than 80% of them can be marked with UnionPay cards. In a brand monopoly shoe store, salesgirl Valentina told reporters that the store has been paying with UnionPay for 9 years.

  More and more local Russian residents have also started to apply for and use UnionPay cards. More than 10 local banks such as Natural Gas Industrial Bank, Agricultural Bank of Russia and Binhai Social Bank have issued nearly 1.3 million UnionPay cards. In July, 2017, unionpay international and Russian National Payment Card Company realized card issuing cooperation. MIR cards, which were originally used only in Russia, were expanded to more than 160 countries and regions covered by UnionPay network, greatly improving the convenience of Russian residents in using cards across borders.

  The Belt and Road Initiative creates more opportunities.

  There are some backgrounds for Russia to accelerate the introduction of "Chinese payment".

  Take UnionPay as an example, it entered the Russian market in 2006, but the explosive growth was mainly after 2014. That year, Visa and MasterCard, which dominated the Russian credit card market due to sanctions from the United States and Europe, stopped providing payment services in many banks in Russia. Therefore, the Russian government is determined to establish its own payment system and realize a diversified settlement system. At that time, China and Russia had established a comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation, and China UnionPay, as one of the world-renowned international credit cards, received more attention. According to Fan Jiguang, the representative of China UnionPay in Russia, in the following three years, the number of cards issued by UnionPay in the local area surged to 2 million.

  The construction of the "Belt and Road" has also created greater opportunities for Sino-Russian financial cooperation.

  On the one hand, with the promotion of policy communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade, financial intermediation and popular support, the payment of people coming and going in the "Belt and Road" region needs to be smooth and convenient; On the other hand, with Russia as the main radiation source, including Central Asia and CIS countries, there is a need to improve the modernization level of financial payment, safeguard domestic financial security and reduce the use of cash.

  In May last year, the Federal Savings Bank, Russia’s largest bank, launched the UnionPay card acceptance business; In August, the Foreign Trade Bank, the second largest bank in Russia, also opened its merchants to accept UnionPay cards on the basis of realizing all available UnionPay cards at ATMs. In 2017 alone, the number of merchants and ATMs accepting UnionPay cards in Russia has more than doubled, reaching a total of 630,000 merchants and 100,000 ATMs. In countries and regions along the Belt and Road, more than 50 UnionPay cards have been used.

  Another important factor is China’s outstanding leadership in the field of mobile payment.

  In recent years, the globalization of cashless services of mobile payment enterprises in China has accelerated. Not only are there new mobile payment enterprises represented by Alipay and WeChat, but even traditional cross-border payment institutions such as UnionPay have also introduced mobile payment methods such as "China Unionpay Quick Pass", which has developed rapidly and been widely used, making it difficult for European and American countries to reach. In Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, Alipay alone has access to more than 120,000 overseas offline merchants, supporting 18 kinds of foreign currency settlement. When German youth Alfred wrote to the President "I hope to bring Alipay back to Germany" and China’s popular mobile applications were localized overseas, "Indian Alipay" and "Philippine WeChat Payment" were born. Russia, eager for financial innovation, hoped to achieve "overtaking in corners" through China’s mature cashless payment technology and experience.

  Overseas stories have just begun.

  In the face of the expansion of "Chinese payment" in Russia, both unionpay international and Alipay, the relevant person in charge invariably stressed when interviewed by this reporter, "This is only the first step. The story has just begun. "

  In fact, the "story" has already begun in Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.

  In Laos, in November 2015, the Laos National Bank Card Payment System project, which was jointly built by UnionPay, China National Development Bank and Laos Central Bank, was launched to help Laos build a national bank card payment system covering the whole territory; In Thailand, after the UnionPay chip card standard became the industry standard in Thailand, UnionPay provided Thailand with the construction standard of bank card transfer system. UnionPay has also become the sole provider of cross-border chip card standards of the Asian Payment Alliance (APN), and signed an authorization cooperation agreement for chip card standards with seven member institutions — — This means that the mainstream switching networks in Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries will take the UnionPay chip card standard as the technical standard for accepting and issuing cards.

  Russia is an important country along the "Belt and Road" and a key area connecting Central and Eastern Europe and radiating the CIS. The layout of "Chinese-style payment" here not only means that RMB has taken an important step in the internationalization journey, but also realizes the "going out" of technology, products, services and brands by participating in the construction of payment infrastructure in overseas markets and the docking and interconnection of technical standards systems, and improves the right to speak on modern payment standards.

  Another trend of the "story" is that it may trigger a "peripheral revolution" brought about by financial technology innovation in the Internet era. Take Alipay as an example. When China consumers download Alipay apps from their mobile phones, they will automatically switch to overseas versions when they come overseas, which not only has the function of "wallet", but also provides a lot of "outbound" services, including information on eating, drinking and having fun in the local area, ticket purchase for scenic spots, preferential treatment for "nearby" merchants and so on. As Bogdahn Zarozhne, the head of Alipay in Russia, said, "We provide more than just payment tools, but also hope to create a lifestyle-changing application."

  It can be expected that with the rapid development of cross-border payment, a new round of cross-border electronic commerce transactions will be promoted rapidly. With the overseas expansion of "Chinese-style payment", the format of banks, the reconstruction of credit system, the form of money, the security of payment, the construction of e-commerce platform and even the supervision of online payment will also face new challenges.

Roewe D7 EV test drive experience: stable control, rich configuration, worthy of test drive experience.

Nowadays, users who buy cars pay more and more attention to the overall quality and details of vehicles. As a brand-new serial model of Roewe, Roewe D7 EV currently has three models on sale, and the official price is 149,800-176,800 yuan. I got the news from the car owner that the Roewe D7 EV has a great discount at present, with a discount of up to 16,000 yuan. So what is the comprehensive strength of this car?

Roewe D7 EV combines the current mainstream aesthetic elements in design, with a family-style closed grille design on the front face. The split LED headlight group supports automatic headlights, light delay and height adjustment, which can be said to bring great convenience to driving at night. The air inlet with trapezoidal outline of the front lip makes the front face look fashionable.

Roewe D7 EV’s roof adopts a sliding back shape, and the door handle adopts a pop-up design, which can reduce the wind resistance. These are the common design languages of pure electric cars at present. The window is wrapped with silver trim, and the blackened B and C columns are matched with the five-spoke wheel hub, which is quite simple in style. In addition, the exterior rearview mirror has the functions of heating, electric folding, reversing and automatic folding. The design of the tail has some coupe charm as a whole, the top of the trunk is designed with a slightly upturned duckling tail, and the split taillight group is equipped with a spiral wave-shaped light strip structure, which looks very layered after lighting. The license plate frame area has a concave design, and the lower enclosure is equipped with a thick black decorative board, which embellishes the three-dimensional sense of the rear of the car.

When I entered the car, the first thing I felt was that the Roewe D7 EV was covered with soft materials, and the regular stitching at the corners made me feel that the luxury inside the car was well interpreted. The 12.3(10.25)-inch LCD instrument and the 12.3-inch central control panel form a central control dual screen, with built-in Zebra Zhixing vehicle intelligent system, which supports GPS navigation system, voice recognition, navigation road information display, tire pressure monitoring system, mobile App remote control, Bluetooth/car phone, car networking, OTA upgrade and other functions, and also supports many third-party apps such as Cool Music, Litchi Blog, Netease Cloud Music and Himalaya. It is worth mentioning that using voice can give multiple instructions at a time, so that you can make corresponding actions or judgments according to your instructions, which not only brings convenient operation experience, but also is full of scientific and technological atmosphere.

A lot of mechanical buttons and traditional start buttons are cancelled on the center console, and the air conditioning control buttons are still kept, which is convenient and quick to use. The central armrest has two panels for wireless charging of mobile phones, two cup holders, a storage space with good depth and an armrest box.

Roewe D7 EV is equipped with active safety early warning system, active braking system, lane keeping auxiliary system and lane keeping center system, and the whole system is equipped with front airbag and passive protection of side airbag curtain. There are also basic driving functions such as rear parking radar, 360 panoramic image, cruise control, reversing image and transparent image of chassis. The model I test-drive this time is Roewe D7 EV 2023 510 rear-drive flagship version, which has L2-class assisted driving, full-speed adaptive cruise, adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, front collision warning, lane keeping auxiliary system, lane keeping in the middle and active braking, etc. It is also equipped with 4 ultrasonic radars and 5 external cameras, which can be of obvious help to novices or unfamiliar congested road sections.

In terms of power, Roewe D7 EV is equipped with two kinds of motors. The model I test-drive is Roewe D7 EV 2023 510 rear-drive flagship version, which is equipped with a rear single motor. The maximum power is 145kW, the peak torque is 310N·m, the maximum speed is 170km/h, and the official 100 km acceleration time is 7.3 seconds. It uses a 59.2kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, and CLTC has a pure electric cruising range of 510km. Roewe D7 EV has three driving modes: economy, comfort and sports. In sports mode, the speed is very light when starting, and the accelerator pedal is slammed, which has a good feeling of pushing back. The front McPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension, combined with the rear drive system, basically keep the overall driving feeling in a comfortable state. When driving through some corners, the steering feel is light, which is more suitable for home use, and the suspension has a supporting effect on the vehicle, including a good shock filtering effect when encountering some speed bumps or potholes. When the vehicle speed is 100km/h, you can still feel the obvious momentum when you step on the accelerator pedal deeply, and the driving is stable without the feeling of shaking and drifting. The brake foot feels the same as the accelerator pedal, and you can control it as much as you step on it, without taking time.

Roewe D7 EV has a body size of 4890/1872/1510mm and a wheelbase of 2810mm, and is positioned as a medium-sized car. Roewe D7 EV 2023 510 Rear Drive flagship seats are wrapped in leather, and the filler is thick and soft. Front seat electric front and rear/height adjustment, co-pilot boss button, front seat heating, main driver seat ventilation/memory and other functions, and the front seat is flat, and the rear seat also supports 4/6 ratio down. In terms of space performance, I am 178cm tall and sit in the front row, with room for one punch on the top of my head, one punch on the back row and two punches on my legs. The space in the whole car is more than enough for home use, and the back-sliding design does not bring oppression to the back row.

In terms of car purchase suggestions, the official guide price of Roewe D7 EV 2023 510 rear-drive flagship version is 159,800 yuan, and the news from the car-knowing emperor is as high as 16,000 yuan, and the price after the discount is 143,800 yuan. Compared with Roewe D7 EV 2023 510 rear-drive excellent edition, it is only 10,000 yuan more, but it is equipped with L2-class assisted driving, adaptive cruise, full-speed adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, front collision warning, active braking, lane keeping auxiliary system, lane centering, openable panoramic sunroof, 12.3-inch instrument, seat heating, ventilation, memory and other rich configurations. It can be seen that these configurations are given to drivers whether they are manipulating or not.

From the above comprehensive interpretation of Roewe D7 EV, as a pure electric medium-sized car, it can be regarded as a rare sincere work at the same price. Whether it is dynamic in appearance, luxurious in interior and rich in configuration, it can be said that it can meet the driving needs whether it is daily travel or short-distance travel. At the same time, the safety assistance system also improves the safety and convenience of driving. The pricing is also very friendly. You can start a pure electric medium-sized car without 150,000 yuan. Interested friends may wish to go to the local offline store for a test drive experience.

Rene Liu is crazy about Jing Bo Ran, Zhou Dongyu, Tang Wei and NiNi wishing "post-me" from a distance.

1905 movie network news  Rene Liu’s first feature film premiered in Beijing on April 23rd. After the screening, the director of "Milk Tea" appeared with the all-creative lineup composed of Jing Bo Ran, Zhou Dongyu and Tian Zhuangzhuang, and exchanged views with the media, audience and fans present.


Although it is the first time to direct a film, as the release time of "Later Us" approaches, Rene Liu admits that she has reduced some nervousness, especially the gathering of several leading actors today made her feel relieved.


Unexpectedly, Jing Bo Ran and Zhou Dongyu didn’t "cooperate" with the director after they went on stage, but several people started the mutual mode instead. Jing Bo Ran revealed that Rene Liu was so stingy that he didn’t even show the monitor to the actors during filming. Liu Dao is not to be outdone. Tucao, two young people, were "unruly" on the set and tortured themselves. He also said that after the filming of this play, I don’t want to be a director for the time being. I just want to travel quickly after the publicity period: "I have seen the faces of the two of them (Jing Bo Ran Zhou Dongyu) for a year, and I really have seen enough."


I had a good time at the premiere, but every master was sincere enough to treat the work "Later Us". Jing Bo Ran still remembers that he was "love at first sight" for this script, and he was very grateful to Rene Liu for being able to make up for the regret of his youth through this role: "I may have made my debut too early, and I have passed the age of being unselfish and selfless for love."


Zhou Dongyu, who had the same experience as Xiao Xiao, the heroine in the film, admitted that he was most worried about his anxiety about drifting life when he started shooting. But as a dream catcher like Qian Qian, she hopes everyone can continue to stick to "taking root".


In "Later Us", it was the director Tian Zhuangzhuang who played the friendly role of seeing Qing’s father (played by Jing Bo Ran), and Rene Liu hammered out the role with him only after a working meal. Although there are not many scenes, Tian Zhuangzhuang went to the Northeast one week in advance to experience life and find out what it feels like to be the "old man in the Northeast". He especially praised Rene Liu as a director who is affectionate and righteous, which made him feel very rare and precious.


At the premiere, several masters were pleasantly surprised to receive a blessing from their friends for Later Us: Tang Wei specially recorded a video to call Rene Liu, and Zhou Dongyu immediately showed the audio of "mysterious friend". On the side, Jing Bo Ran recognized that the other party was NiNi, but he still showed his love and sold it: "This voice is a goddess."


It is reported that "Later Us" will land in the mainland cinema on April 28th.


Putin’s report card

Topic: picture channel

  


    According to Russian media reports, the United Russia Party, the Just Russia Party, the Russian Agricultural Party and the Citizen Power Party jointly nominated First Deputy Prime Minister Medvedev as the next presidential candidate. On December 10th, 2007, when meeting with the leaders of the four parties, Putin expressed "full agreement" with this proposal. This is a photo of Putin (former) and Medvedev visiting a construction site in central Russia on September 13, 2007. Xinhua News Agency/Reuters


    When Putin ascended the presidency in 2000, few people were familiar with this little former KGB officer, let alone had great hopes for him to save Russia. However, eight years after the expiration of his two terms, when faced with Russia, which is full of energy and intends to revive its glory, people can’t help but express their feelings. During his eight years in power, Putin led Russia to rise again and "return to the ranks of world powers" by "extraordinary means". This is the evaluation of Putin by Time magazine in explaining that he was named as the person of the year in 2007.


  Eight years of fierce combination boxing


    Putin’s report cards should be listed more, but they can all be summarized as a simple point: he restored Russians’ trust in the country, helped the people find confidence and hope for the future, and inspired their spirit of being frustrated for many days.


    As we all know, Putin faced a "mess" when he came to power. Stability and order! This was not only the aspiration of ordinary people at that time, but also the aspiration of various interest groups that suffered serious losses in property division and political chaos. Therefore, establishing order and maintaining stability will inevitably become the banner that Putin held high at the beginning of taking office. This has always been the "top priority" of his administration, a prerequisite for his remarkable achievements in other fields, and a "magic weapon" for him to win high support rate and retain his voice when he leaves office. Roy Maidevijeff, a famous Russian scholar, said: "Putin is a useful person who appears in the needed position when needed."


  Political power: from "state machine failure"To "controllable democracy"


    Former President Yeltsin once admitted: "In Russia, there are huge state institutions, powerful troops and police, but there is such anarchy … which means that the whole state machine is out of order."


    By the time Putin left office in 2008, Russia had formed a centralized presidential system, or "controllable democracy" system, in which the parliament, the government, the judiciary, major political parties and the media were in the hands, the regime basically controlled all situations, and the elite team was relatively United.


    In the eight years after 1992, Russian politics has been in a chaotic situation for a long time, and the government’s ability to act has been greatly weakened. Due to the imperfection of democratic politics itself and the social unrest caused by economic transition, the weakened government lacks sufficient ability to maintain social stability and legal order. In this case, Putin realized that a strong and rational regime is the main guarantee for social stability and economic development, and strengthening state authority is the best way to solve urgent problems. Ensuring political stability, smooth government orders and normal operation of political power has become its top priority, and it is also a prerequisite for revitalizing the economy.


    Adjust the relationship between the central and federal entities. In 2000, Putin first decided to set up seven federal districts on the basis of 89 federal entities, and he personally appointed presidential representatives to manage them, so as to strengthen the central government’s control over the localities; In 2004, the method for the election of local leaders was revised, and the right to appoint and remove "vassals" was returned to the central government; Establish the power of the central government to adjudicate the illegal acts of local leaders, and form a legal intervention mechanism for the central government to restrain local governments; Since 2005, the federal entities have been merged. By January 2008, the original 89 federal entities had been compressed to 84. After the above-mentioned "cutting vassals" were swung, the past situation of disguised "separatist regime", the central government pleasing the local government and "managing the brain with four limbs" was completely changed, and a new central vertical management system was formed.



    Purge oligarchs. Oligopoly intervention was a major "freak" in Russian politics in the 1990s. These financial and industrial groups either directly stepped forward or manipulated public opinion and influenced national policies through agents, and they were powerful. After Putin came to power, he first cleaned up the media kingdom controlled by oligarchs and seized public opinion positions. Then, the oligarchs who "don’t listen" were investigated, forcing Gusinski, berezovsky and other oligarchs who once dominated politics to go into exile. In 2003, in the name of economic crimes, Khodorkovsky, who was still trying to be active in the political arena, was put into prison. Under the pounding of Putin’s sharp combination boxing, the arrogance of oligarchs who tried to challenge the regime was completely suppressed. The state not only ended oligarchy, but also further controlled more assets through legal and economic channels.


    Improve the political system of political parties. In view of the chaotic activities of political parties during Yeltsin’s period, the opposition between political power and major political parties, and the frequent contradictions between the government and parliament, Putin began to implement his plan based on the Political Party Law passed in 2001 and the parliament as a platform, in which the key to realize this blueprint is to focus on building a "political party". From 2001 to 2002, with the full promotion of the Kremlin, the three pro-government parties joined forces to form the "United Russia" party, becoming the largest party in the Duma. With the support and encouragement of the political power, government officials, big entrepreneurs and political activists at all levels are more actively involved in the "United Russia" party, making it a veritable "political party". The fifth Duma, which came into being in 2007, is not only another complete victory of the "regime party", but also reflects the embryonic form of party politics in Putin’s mind-the situation that the regime relies on political parties and political parties to cooperate with the regime with the two pro-regime parties of "United Russia" and "just Russia" as the core.

Musk Twitter launched a "tag war" that stung Western media, experts: a struggle for the right to speak in public opinion.

  [Global Times Comprehensive Report] Swedish National Radio announced its withdrawal from Twitter on the 18th local time, which is the first large European media to withdraw or suspend its Twitter account after many public media in North America. In the past week, the Twitter company controlled by billionaire Musk labeled many western media such as Voice of America, National Public Radio (NPR) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as "government-sponsored media", which triggered fierce opposition from these media. However, many netizens ridiculed that the US government had forced the accounts of "rival countries" such as Russia to be labeled as "government media" on western social platforms, and now Twitter labels western media. "Isn’t this fair?" Previously, Twitter CEO Musk also revealed that the US government can completely control and read the private messages of Twitter users at will, but such news that is not conducive to the United States and the West is rarely reported by mainstream media.

  Some China scholars told the Global Times on the 19th that the governments and media in the United States and other western countries, while flaunting the so-called "independence and freedom of the press", manipulated public opinion by various means to serve their own private interests. This "freedom of the press" is the "painted skin" of the American and western governments and their media.

  "69% government-funded media"

  According to Reuters, Swedish National Radio did not accuse Twitter of launching a new policy under the leadership of Musk, namely, labeling more western public broadcasters as "government-sponsored media". Gieringer, the station’s director in charge of social media operations, made an indifferent gesture, saying that the decision was made because the Swedish audience of the station had lost interest in Twitter. "Swedish National Radio no longer gives priority to its presence on Twitter," he said. The company still pays attention to its business on social platforms, but now it has decided to completely stop its account on Twitter, "because Twitter has changed and become less important to us."

  However, the "European News" website said that the Swedish National Radio closed its Twitter account because of "concerns about fake news and hate speech". Gieringer did not hold back his accusations and complaints about Twitter. He said: "Of course, we have noticed the recent turmoil around the platform … … We believe that in the long run, this may affect Twitter’s handling of fake news, ‘ Water army ’ Robots, misinformation and hate speech. Of course, these factors also affect our decision to stop the account on the platform now. "

  In the past week, Twitter has labeled VOA, National Public Radio (NPR), American Public Broadcasting Corporation (PBS), British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as "government-sponsored media", which has aroused fierce criticism and opposition from these western media. The BBC argued that its funds mainly came from the TV viewing license fees paid by British families, and Twitter finally changed the label of the BBC to "publicly funded media". So far, this is the only western media that has successfully made Twitter modify the label of "government-sponsored media".

  In this round of labeling struggle, the contest between Twitter and CBC is particularly fierce. On the 16th local time, CBC and its related accounts were tagged as "government-sponsored media" by Twitter. In this regard, CBC spokesman Omar said that Twitter wrongly described CBC’s "editorial independence", so the company will suspend the update of related accounts. He said that Twitter regards "government-sponsored media" as "the government may participate in defining the content of news reports to varying degrees", which is obviously not in line with the actual situation. CBC17 issued several tweets on the 17th, saying, "Our news is fair and independent. The opposite statement is untrue. This is why we suspend our activities on Twitter. " "CBC is funded by public funds voted by members of parliament. Its independence is protected by law. "

  However, Twitter said that it is not groundless to label CBC as "government-sponsored media", "according to CBC2021 — According to the 2022 financial report data, the company received nearly $1.4 billion in funding from the government (accounting for 70% of its funds). " Musk immediately said that CBC’s "concerns have been resolved." He also attached a screenshot of CBC Twitter account marked "69% government-funded media" on the grounds that "CBC said they only received less than 70% government funding".

  "Western media is being attacked by itself"?

  Twitter’s move triggered fierce criticism from the western media. The British "Daily Mail" said that Musk was attacked for labeling the accounts of National Public Radio (NPR), American Public Broadcasting Company (PBS) and other western media as "government-sponsored media". Critics warned Twitter that "don’t misuse the concept, public funding (but not interfering with press freedom) is different from the state’s direct intervention in the operation of the media editorial department." According to the report, Freedom House in the United States said that the tag of "government-sponsored media" was "not fairly applied" on Twitter, and the media accounts of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar were not so marked, while the public media accounts of the United States, Britain and Canada were marked.

  After the acquisition of Twitter, Musk always claimed to transform Twitter into a social platform for "seeking truth" and labeled Twitter accounts such as Voice of America and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as "government-sponsored media". "Musk fought with western media to find the truth", the Russian newspaper Kommersant reported on the 18th that western media such as CBC and National Public Radio have recently strongly opposed being labeled as "government-sponsored media" by Twitter, which was previously only used in the accounts of Russian and China media. In this regard, some Russian netizens said, why did the western media loudly applaud when the United States and the West labeled the Russian media as "government media"? This is actually "the anti-bite of the western media."

  The mutual accusation between Twitter and western public media has aroused the debate among netizens in western countries. On Twitter, some netizens said, "I fully support transparency. These news organizations did accept government funds, and they should not ‘ Government-sponsored media ’ The label has objections. " "The snobbish conservative media doesn’t like it, but I have witnessed everything here." However, some netizens said, "‘ Government-sponsored media ’ The label is inaccurate, which does not explain which government funding it is, nor does it reflect other sources of funding for the media. " But most netizens think, "This is completely fair, and this is exactly what they deserve." Some netizens ridiculed that "does 69% funding mean only 69% publicity?" "Perfect action. The numbers are so accurate. "

  This struggle has also become the content of western political infighting. Before Twitter tagged CBC, Canadian Conservative Party leader Poliyev accused CBC of favoring the government and the ruling party. On April 12, he called on Musk to label CBC "more accurately". He wrote in the tweet: "We must protect Canadians from false information and manipulation by CBC." Poliyev stressed that this is a fact that Canadians should know.

  Lu Chuanying, secretary-general of the Center for International Governance of Cyberspace of Shanghai Institute of International Studies, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 19th that the debate on labeling between Twitter and western traditional media was mainly due to the increasingly diversified channels for the public to obtain information. Western media flaunt "independence and freedom of news", but actually regard news as a "fourth power" beyond the public. In fact, this is a struggle for the control power of public opinion discourse.

  Li Haidong, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of the Foreign Affairs University, told the Global Times reporter that in western society, the influence of the media largely depends on people’s attention. In the information age, digital communication has become popular, and the withdrawal of western traditional media from Twitter is tantamount to self-isolation, and it is impossible for people to follow.

  50% believe that American media deceive the public.

  In fact, this competition also highlights the lower and lower trust of the western people in the media. According to Al Jazeera, a poll conducted by Gallup Polling Company in February this year showed that only 26% of Americans have a good impression of American media, the lowest level in the past five years, while 53% have a negative view. 50% of Americans believe that most news organizations in the United States are misleading and deceiving the public, and they are "intentional". Only 25% believe that these news organizations have no intention of misleading the public. The poll also found that 52% of Americans believe that American media "don’t care about the best interests of readers, viewers and listeners".

  Not only traditional media, but also western social media and online media are not much better, and they are almost controlled by the US government and capital. At the end of last year, shortly after Musk acquired Twitter, it broke the news that all social media platforms cooperated with the US government to review the content, and they all deleted the relevant content under the clear instructions of the US federal agencies. Musk released Twitter’s previous documents showing that Twitter cooperated with the FBI, the CIA, the Pentagon and other government agencies to suppress information about the US elections, the Ukrainian situation and the COVID-19 epidemic. On April 16 this year, in an interview, Musk once again broke the news that the US government can read the private messages of all Twitter users at will. "The extent to which the US government can effectively control anything on Twitter surprised me."

  Li Haidong said: Facts have proved that the setting of "freedom of the press" peddled by the United States and other western countries to the world is a complete lie. Western news has innate value bias and ideological bias. No matter external or internal, many reports are hard to be objective. Recently, the mainstream western media almost ignored the truth about the bombing of the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline, and the "poison train" incident in the United States was exposed by social media such as TikTok and was exposed by foreign media and networks for many days before it had to express its concern. Regardless of whether there is government funding or not, the western media has actually completely lost its independence and become a tool to serve the interests of a few people or mobilize public opinion when the United States and the West promote their foreign strategies.

  Claire Daley, a member of the European Parliament from Ireland, recently lamented on Twitter that the western media were "corrupt and biased". Daley wrote: "We must admit that our mainstream media is not free at all."
