China News Agency, Beijing, September 6. Comprehensive news: On the 5th local time, an explosion occurred near the Russian Embassy in Afghanistan in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, killing at least 6 people and injuring 10 others. The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed that two staff members of the Russian diplomatic corps were killed in the explosion. The extremist organization “Islamic State” claimed responsibility for the bombing through social platforms that day.

According to the website of Al Jazeera, at about 10:50 am local time on the 5th, a suicide bomb attack occurred near the entrance of the Russian embassy in Afghanistan. The attackers were shot dead by armed guards as they approached the embassy gate, and an explosion occurred.

At least six people were killed and 10 injured in the attack, Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran confirmed. The dead included two staff members of the Russian diplomatic corps and four Afghan civilians.

According to a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry, an unidentified militant detonated an explosive device near the entrance of the consular office of the Russian embassy in Afghanistan on the morning of the 5th, causing casualties. The Russian embassy in Afghanistan is in close contact with the Afghan security services investigating the matter, and the embassy has strengthened security measures. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed the hope that the planners and executors of terrorist incidents will be punished.

Reuters reported that the extremist group “Islamic State” announced on the 5th local time through social platforms that it was responsible for the bombing near the Russian embassy in Afghanistan.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued a statement on the 5th, expressing strong condemnation of the bombing near the Russian Embassy in Afghanistan, expressing condolences to the families of the deceased, and wishing the injured a speedy recovery.

A terrorist attack on the Russian embassy in Afghanistan killed two Russian staff (a diplomat and a security guard). The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack. Experts say it is no accident that the Russian embassy was targeted in the suicide attack.

Nikita Mendkovich, head of the Eurasian Analysis Club and an expert at the Russian Council of International Affairs, said the incident was likely related to an agreement between the Afghan interim government and Russia on the supply of food and fuel to Afghanistan not long ago. .

Mendkovic explained: “In diplomatic isolation, the Afghan Interim Government is interested in normalizing relations with Moscow. The attack may have been an attempt to undermine the Afghan Interim Government’s agreement with Russia and other countries on the supply of necessities to Afghans. trade negotiations.”

According to Andrei Shelenko, head of the Afghan Political Research Center, the terrorist attack on Russian diplomats may also have a commercial element. According to Andrei Shelenko, for several years an Afghan “black intermediary” group has been selling visas to Afghans who want to move to Russia and making a lot of money (800-1500 per visa). Dollar). But about two or three weeks ago, the Russian embassy decided to rectify the order and expel the “black intermediaries” who were actually looting. This may also be one reason for the terrorist attack.

“Contrast with the combat effectiveness standards, check what shortcomings and weaknesses we still have…” At the beginning of August, in an unfamiliar area in Saibei, an air-to-ground confrontation exercise of a brigade of the Air Force Ground Director of the Central Theater Command had just ended, and the officers and soldiers walked into the positional classroom and closely followed the exercise. Discussion and exchange of training tasks.

“The more arduous and dynamic the task is, the more attention must be paid to the ideological and political education of the troops.” The leaders of the brigade introduced that, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of education, they selected the backbone system to sort out the history of the brigade in combination with the actual training tasks, and put heroes Combat stories of characters, etc. are used as educational materials, taking advantage of mission breaks, training gaps and other opportunities to actively build positional classrooms on launch positions and equipment cabins, organize officers and soldiers to combine drills and practice to give insights and talk experiences, and promote it in flexible and diverse forms Education comes to mind.

Not long ago, the brigade went to an unfamiliar area to carry out field training. In the position class, He Dayong, an instructor of a certain battalion, told officers and soldiers about the glorious battle history of the revolutionary predecessors who shot down an enemy reconnaissance plane at night for the first time. Listening to the story of his predecessors, First Class Sergeant Gao Tian was deeply touched: “The baton of history has been handed over to our generation. Only with perseverance and strength can we live up to our heavy trust and mission.”

The classroom extends to the battlefield, and the journey of a strong army inspires fighting spirit. Recently, the brigade has strictly organized cross-day and night maneuvering combat drills, and the officers and soldiers have successfully completed the tasks of temporary maneuver transfer and special situation handling.

Editor’s Note According to the new soldier system, the service years of middle and senior non-commissioned officers can be appropriately extended, the “4+X” flexible service is implemented, and there are opportunities for promotion every year. This is a major reform measure to stably retain mature backbones to the maximum extent and make good use of the “golden period” of the profession. It provides more development space for middle and senior sergeants who love their jobs and work hard. How to do a good job in the “next article” of the senior sergeants after deferred service and give full play to their backbone role is a new topic before all levels. The practice of a certain brigade of the Rocket Army is worth learning from.

Our reporter Zou Fei and correspondent Jiang Kunlong reported: Liu Ming was overjoyed to see his name appear on the list of the senior sergeant’s pre-selection talent pool of the entire brigade. One step closer to becoming a senior sergeant. In fact, just over half a year ago, this repair professional “big taker” was still struggling with the problem of personal leaving. “Thanks to the good policy of extending the service life of middle and senior sergeants!” Liu Ming said that the special decoration and management major he is engaged in has a relatively long growth cycle for talents, and there are few promotion places and high thresholds. Many high-quality comrades in the past can only Sorry to retire.

After the implementation of regulations and documents such as the “Interim Regulations for Sergeants” and “Interim Regulations on the Management of Sergeants’ Career Development”, the party committee of the brigade, in combination with the actual transformation of the combat effectiveness of the army, included the deferred service sergeants into the “big plate” of grass-roots talent training, and implemented the “deferred service sergeant education project”. , so that more outstanding sergeants can be retained and used well.

Last year, nearly 30 non-commissioned officers from the brigade who had reached their maximum years of service submitted applications for extension of service. After grassroots recommendation, institutional investigation, qualification review, assessment and selection, and party committee approval, 7 people successfully stayed in the team, including Liu Ming. “The length of service is extended, and the skills must be upgraded simultaneously.”

On the day Zhang Bang was announced, the brigade assigned a senior sergeant to Liu Ming as a master. It turned out that the party committee of the brigade made plans for the next development of this part of the sergeant in advance, and issued “one-to-one mentoring and apprentice pairing, regular tracking and training of the brigade, practice training in the studio of senior sergeants, training for management positions, and periodic quantitative evaluation.” ” and other five measures, with only one purpose: to improve the ability and quality of deferred service sergeants and make them play a greater role.

Talking about his master, Second Sergeant Major Xu Zhicai, missile operator Liu Lin has always been grateful. After Liu Lin’s deferred service, Xu Zhicai formulated a target-based training plan for him based on his personal characteristics. The plan not only includes the professional ability improvement plan, but also the ideas of leading troops, management methods and so on. Under the guidance of Xu Zhicai, Liu Lin has made significant progress. Not long ago, he was recommended by the camp as a “seed backbone” to participate in the training of new equipment for superiors.

Another deferred service sergeant, Yu Daoli, has grown up in the fertile soil of grassroots innovation. In the brigade, several senior sergeant studios have exceptionally opened their doors to deferred service intermediate sergeants. After joining the studio, Yu Daoli participated in a number of research projects, and in just a few months, he has achieved results such as “the operation process of reducing personnel under the extreme conditions of a certain type of equipment”.

In order to prevent the sergeants from standing still and lack of motivation after the extension of service, the brigade specially established a quantitative evaluation system, which not only tests their overall level, but also the degree of progress. Each aspect has corresponding reward and punishment rules. Shi Lang, an officer of the Human Resources Section of the brigade, told reporters that in the just-concluded phased assessment, the deferred service sergeants all achieved excellent results and basically possessed the ability to be independent.

It is necessary not only to become talented, but also to promote the growth of comrades-in-arms. Today, the brigade’s deferred service sergeants are starting to have their own apprentices. Ma Bo, the squad leader of the communications battalion, regularly holds business training courses. After joining the 6 junior sergeants, they successfully passed the intermediate professional qualification certification; the missile leader Xiang Tao is good at organizing simulation training. …As the “talent snowball” gets bigger and bigger, the ability and quality structure of the backbone of the brigade’s soldiers will become more scientific and reasonable.

The perfect training and use mechanism has made the deferred service sergeants taste the sweetness, and it has also given more hope to the sergeants who are about to end their service period. An Jianjun, a college student soldier and second-rank sergeant, is facing retirement this year. Previously, he had been hesitant to apply for deferred service. Now, seeing that his comrades-in-arms fully enjoy the policy dividends and have a broader development prospect, he has strengthened his determination to continue to stay in the team and make contributions to the barracks, and reported his thoughts to the organization. According to preliminary investigations, there are more than 40 sergeants in the brigade who are currently planning to apply for deferred service.

Recently, China and the United States jointly announced that the two sides have signed an audit and supervision cooperation agreement on August 26, and will start related cooperation in the near future. The China Securities Regulatory Commission publicly stated that “the cooperation agreement is based on the laws and regulations of the two countries, respects international common practices, and follows the principle of reciprocity and mutual benefit.” The signing of the cooperation agreement has brought hope to the cross-border audit supervision issues that have plagued the two countries for many years, and has also greatly boosted market confidence. Affected by the good news, Chinese concept stocks rose collectively before the market on August 26. Among them, Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo and other Chinese concept stocks once rose by more than 8%.

Since the US Congress formally passed the “Foreign Company Accountability Act” in December 2020, the fate of Chinese stocks in the US market has been heavily clouded. The Act stipulates that foreign companies listed in the United States must meet the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) for accounting firms to inspect the audit papers of listed companies, otherwise the company will be prohibited from listing and trading. On July 29, Alibaba, which has the largest market capitalization among Chinese stocks, was also included in the “pre-delisting” list by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Since then, 159 Chinese concept stocks have been included in the “pre-delisting” list. The Chinese concept stocks that once enjoyed great popularity in the U.S. stock market are facing the risk of collective delisting.

Today, there are 286 Chinese concept stocks listed in the United States, with a total market value of US$1.18 trillion. Chinese concept stocks have become a force to be reckoned with in the U.S. capital market. However, it is undeniable that due to the different legal systems of China and the United States, there are still areas where China and the United States need to work together on cross-border audit supervision issues. The repeated exposure of the credit crisis of Chinese stocks has made the importance of cross-border audit supervision between China and the United States increasingly prominent. Since 2007, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the PCAOB have held many talks on cross-border audit supervision issues, and in 2013, the China-US Law Enforcement Cooperation Memorandum was officially signed. Regarding the issue of audit papers that both parties are most concerned about, the memorandum stipulates that before PCAOB obtains audit materials of Chinese companies listed in the United States, it must complete a written request report and obtain the consent of the Chinese side. This content not only complies with the relevant provisions of China’s securities law, but also is a common international practice. Around 2010, PCAOB had signed joint inspection agreements with France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Finland and other countries to ensure that the content and methods of PCAOB entry inspections were determined in advance through negotiation between the two parties.

However, the issue of cross-border audit supervision between China and the United States, which had already made positive progress, was once deadlocked due to the pan-politicized operation of the United States in recent years. In 2020, against the backdrop of escalating trade frictions between China and the US, the PCAOB requested the right to directly review the audit papers of Chinese companies listed in the US, and this unreasonable request is unacceptable to the Chinese side. Subsequently, the promulgation of the “Foreign Company Accountability Act” in the United States directly pushed the issue of audit supervision to the forefront of political confrontation. The bill directly targets China and is full of hegemonic overtones and ideological prejudice. Some of these clauses even require U.S.-listed companies to disclose the list of Chinese Communist Party members on their board of directors, and whether the company’s articles of association contain the contents of the Chinese Communist Party’s constitution. It can be said that the bill completely deviates from the regulatory logic of the free market.

Under the suppression of the “Foreign Company Accountability Law”, the stock price of Chinese stocks plummeted. As of March this year, the total market value of Chinese concept stocks has evaporated by 4.17 trillion US dollars, causing heavy losses to American investors. Freeman, a professor at Harvard Law School, once told the media that Wall Street investment banks had made a lot of profits from the listing of Chinese stocks in the United States. In fact, they did not want the bill to be passed. Although the “Foreign Company Accountability Act” is under the banner of protecting investors, it has seriously harmed the actual interests of investors. The U.S. government’s forcible “decoupling” of China’s finances is detrimental to others, resulting in a lose-lose situation.  Instead of making the U.S. a winner, the Foreign Corporation Accountability Act kidnapped investors to pay for Washington’s ideological bias. Cooperation between China and the United States will benefit both, while confrontation will hurt both. This has been confirmed again on the issue of cross-border audit supervision between China and the United States. Economic issues will ultimately have to come back to the negotiating table to be resolved. After China and the United States signed the audit supervision cooperation agreement, the relevant person in charge of the China Securities Regulatory Commission emphasized in response to a reporter’s question that the agreement established the “reciprocity principle”, the two sides will communicate and coordinate the inspection and investigation plan in advance, and the United States must pass the Chinese supervision. The department obtains documents such as audit papers. Because the US can put aside its ideological prejudice and adopt a pragmatic attitude this time, the cross-border regulatory cooperation between China and the US has a chance to get back on track.

Facts have proved that it is not feasible for the United States to try to issue orders and ask for anything and everything at will against China from the so-called “status of strength”. As the two countries with the largest economies in the world, the interests of China and the United States are intertwined and interdependent. Therefore, dialogue with an equal attitude is the best choice to solve the problem. However, at present, it is only the first step to solve the cross-border audit supervision problem between China and the United States. In the future, whether the United States will carry out cooperation with China in accordance with the content of the agreement still needs to “listen to its words and observe its actions.” In any case, the large-scale delisting of Chinese stocks is something neither China nor the United States wants to see. The two countries have common interests in maintaining financial market stability. It is hoped that China and the United States can take the signing of this cross-border supervision cooperation agreement as an opportunity to open up a new model of mutual respect and equal consultation, and properly resolve frictions between the two sides in many other fields.
