2月28日，韩国乐天集团同韩国防部正式签署“萨德”换地协议，同意把星州高尔夫球场地皮转让给国防部用于部署“萨德”反导系统。此举引发了中国国内民众的强烈不满。在一些社交媒体上，有中国网民自觉发起抵制乐天产品的活动。环球时报网络调查称，95.3%的受访者认为有必要对提供“萨德”部署用地的乐天集团进行制裁。

有网民在人民日报的法人微博下留言说“乐天支持自己国家也是应该的，那么我们抵制乐天也是应该的”。有网友还整理出了乐天集团在华出售的产品名单，呼吁“天猫和京东下架乐天食品”。该消息在短短两小时内得到了3000多个赞。其他的韩国商品也成为抵制的对象。

韩国影视剧在中国拥有广大粉丝群体，但韩国政府执意配合美国部署“萨德”反导系统的做法，引起了这些人的不满。一些韩国影视剧中文翻译团队自发停止工作。一些转播韩国影视节目的网站也下架了全部韩剧。另外，近期很多中国游客取消了赴韩旅游的行程。从不少中国网民发帖和留言可以看出，因“萨德”问题而不再赴韩国旅游，不再购买韩国汽车、手机和生活用品，有可能成为越来越多中国民众的共识和行动。

 中国外交部发言人耿爽在28日的外交部例行记者会上再次申明了中国政府的立场，“我们对韩方罔顾中方利益关切，执意配合美方加紧推进‘萨德’反导系统部署进程表示坚决反对和强烈不满”。中方反对在韩部署“萨德”系统的意志是坚定的，将坚决采取必要措施维护自身安全利益。 “我们强烈敦促有关方面正视中方利益和关切，停止相关部署进程，不要在错误道路上越走越远。中方已经就有关最新事态两次向韩方提出了严正交涉。”

耿爽说，中方欢迎外国企业来华投资兴业并始终尊重和保护外国企业在华的合法权益。同时中方也强调，有关企业在华经营必须合法合规。外国企业在华经营成功与否，要由中国市场和中国消费者决定。

Chinese public boycott Lotte over land swap deal for THAAD deployment

By Wan Yu from People’s Daily

Lotte Group, ROK’s fifth-largest conglomerate, is now sitting in mounting anger from Chinese consumers after it agreed on a land swap deal to enable an early deployment of the US-backed missile shield system known as Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD). Some Chinese public have launched boycott campaigns against the products made by Lotte on social media platforms.

The swap, which gives the ROK defense ministry the Lotte Skyhill Country Club in Seongju County, North Gyeongsang Province, for the deployment of the THAAD system, paves way for a speedy installation of the system by late June at the earliest.

A Global Times survey showed that 95.3 percent Chinese customers back a sanction against Lotte for the land deal.

“If Lotte has one reason to support its country’s decision, then we have every reason to boycott the company,” a netizen told the People’s Daily via microblog account.

Some net users have even sort out a list of the products the retail operator sold in China, calling for their off-shelf from domestic e-commerce platforms like “JD.com” and “tmall.com”. The suggestion received more than 3,000 likes in two hours, and other ROK-made products were implicated as well.

The TV plays are another victim of ROK government’s tough stance on THAAD deployment.

Some translation teams for Korean TV plays have stopped their work, and more TV plays and programs have been pulled off shelf by video websites.

In addition, more Chinese tourists canceled their ROK trips, or gave up plans to buy ROK-made cars, phones or daily necessities.

“We are firmly opposed to and strongly dissatisfied with the fact that ignoring China’s interests and concerns, the ROK insisted on working with the US to accelerate the deployment process,” Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang reiterated China’s stance at the regular press conference Tuesday.

“China is firm in its resolve to oppose the deployment of THAAD in the ROK and will resolutely take necessary actions to safeguard its own security interests,” he said.

China strongly urges relevant parties to take China’s interests and concerns seriously, stop the deployment process and not to go further down that wrong path, he stressed, adding that China has twice lodged solemn representations with the ROK for the latest developments.

China welcomes foreign companies investing in the country and will always respect and protect their rights and interests, but their operation should be in compliance with laws and regulations, said Geng.

“Chinese market and consumers will determine whether a foreign company is successful in China,” Geng added at last.

（副题）用手机找车、解锁、付费，几乎可以在任何地方停车

北欧绿色邮报网报道（主编陈雪霏）–据人民日报记者 强薇报道

 在中国，若是你还不知道什么是“共享单车”，恐怕你已经落伍了。

以摩拜（mobike）、ofo等为代表的共享单车去年开始在中国迎来了爆发式增长。找车、解锁、付费，手机全能搞定，随时随地用车还车，方便、快捷、便宜。有数据显示，截至去年底，我国共享单车企业超过20家，车辆数量达几百万辆，用户总数接近1900万人。

3月1日，共享单车平台ofo宣布完成D轮4.5亿美元（约合人民币31亿元）融资，创下了共享单车行业单笔最高融资纪录，同时成为了行业估值最高的独角兽公司（估值10亿美元以上且创办时间相对较短的公司）。

在中国的大多数城市，“最后一公里”的公共交通末端需求普遍存在。此前，不少城市发展了公共自行车，但受制于车桩限制、办理手续复杂等问题，使用起来并不那么方便。而新出现的共享单车普遍拥有“无桩”“定位”“扫码即用”这几个特点。以摩拜单车为例，因为不用停车桩，单车几乎可以停在任何地方，用户通过手机app查找离自己最近的单车，扫一下单车上的二维码就可以解锁。到达目的地后上锁付款，平台也能够自动记录下单车的地理位置，方便下一位用户找车。大而言之，共享单车契合了绿色出行、节能减排的倡导；小而言之，共享单车价格实惠，用车方便，所以吸引了众多粉丝。

这些共享单车可谓是共享经济、高科技与现实需求碰撞出的火花。通过这些“小红车”“小黄车”，人们也看到了共享经济的强大实力。据普华永道会计师事务所预测，到2025年，全球共享经济市场规模将达到3350亿美元，较2016年增长逾20倍。

国际知名管理咨询公司麦肯锡最新报告显示，中国的共享经济中，共享出行正快速普及，而共享空间和共享技能方兴未艾。目前中国共享经济已涵盖了共享出行、共享空间、共享技能、共享金融等多个领域，网约车、共享单车、汽车分时租赁、公寓短租等多个细分领域发展较快。

China’s bike-sharing industry braces for explosive growth

By Qiang Wei from People’s Daily

China’s bike-sharing industry has embraced an explosive growth since last year. Data showed that by the end of last year, millions of bikes offered by over 20 bike-sharing companies have expanded their service to nearly 19 million users.

The bike-sharing service enables users to find, unlock and pay to rent the bicycles through a smartphone app. Mobike and Ofo are among the two largest of a growing crop of private bike-sharing operators.

Ofo, the company behind the yellow two-wheelers, announced on 1^st March that it has raised 3.1 billion yuan ($450 million) in a fresh round of funding. It not only represents the largest single deal in terms of fund raised by a bike-sharing firm, but also swells the firm to the industry’s richest unicorn, a start-up company valued at over 1 billion dollars.

Public bike is not a fresh thing. Many Chinese cities have launched public bikes previously to meet the citizens’ demands for the “last mile” of public transportation, but congested public space and complicated procedures restrained the pace of such efforts.

Unlike the services provided by local governments, users of the newly emerging shared bikes like Orange-hued Mobike can find and pay for bicycles via a smartphone app and then leave them wherever they want. The location of the bike will be recorded by the data platforms, so that the next users can find one easily.

The economical and convenient service also responds to China’s call for green, energy-saving transportation, attracting a host of fans due to its convenience and low price.

These bikes, a combination of sharing-economy, high-technology and market demands, also provide the outside world a glimpse into China’s huge potential in sharing economy.

PwC’s projections show that five key sharing sectors—travel, car sharing, finance, staffing, and music and video streaming—have the potential to increase global revenues to around 335 billion dollars by 2025, over 20 times higher than the number in 2016.

The latest report released by McKinsey & Company on China’s sharing economy revealed that shared transportation is gaining wide popularity in the Chinese market, while office space and technology sharing is rising.

So far, China’s sharing economy is applied in transportation, office space, skills and finance, while segment fields including car-hailing, bike-sharing, car-sharing and apartment-renting are growing in a faster pace.

联合国人权理事会第三十四次会议2月27日在瑞士日内瓦开幕。每逢联合国人权外交季，国际上总会有一些别有用心的组织和个人，无视中国人权进步成绩，戴着有色眼镜看待中国，抹黑中国人权现状。

中国人权状况到底怎么样？这要用事实说话。当今的中国已经走出一条适合国情的中国特色人权发展道路，取得巨大成就。中国解决了13亿多人民的温饱问题，减少了7亿多贫困人口，占全球减贫人口总数的70%以上，率先实现贫困人口减半的千年发展目标，为人类减贫事业作出了巨大贡献。中国为7.7亿人提供就业，实现9年义务教育全覆盖，关爱2.3亿老年人和8500万残疾人，保障6000多万城乡低保人口的基本生活，人均预期寿命从1949年的35岁提高到现在的76岁多，被联合国誉为“过去30年间发展最快的国家”。

荷兰人权研究所所长、荷兰乌特勒支大学法学教授汤姆·茨瓦特对一些贬低中国人权成就的不实言论感到非常的愤慨，他将中国在减贫方面取得的巨大成功，称之为人类历史上最伟大的人权发展成就。他说：“我衷心祝贺中国共产党和中国政府在减贫方面取得的巨大成功。”

中国始终秉持平等互信、包容互鉴、合作共赢的精神，全面深入参与国际人权合作，推动建立公正、合理的国际人权体系。2016年中国以180票的高票第四次当选联合国人权理事会成员，成为为数不多的四次当选的国家，充分体现了国际社会对中国人权事业发展的肯定。中国加入包括《经济、社会和文化权利国际公约》等6项核心人权公约在内的26项国际人权公约，认真履行国际人权义务，多次接受国别人权审查和人权公约履约审议。中国同近40个国家举行人权对话与交流，同联合国人权机构开展建设性合作，为国际人权治理注入了动力。

正如联合国人权理事会发展权工作组主席扎米尔·阿克拉姆所说：“没有任何一个社会或经济体像中国这样实现了这么快的发展，在这么短的时间内就实现了7亿多人口脱贫，中国还为其他发展中国家提供了大量发展援助，这都是非常伟大的成就。”

China’s poverty eradication among the greatest human rights achievements: expert

By Zhang Mengxu from People’s Daily

China’s poverty eradication is among the greatest human rights achievements, experts pointed out, dismissing voices smearing China’s human rights record at the 34th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland.

Discriminatory words concerning China’s human rights record are heard in almost every human rights session of the UN. It is believed some organizations and individuals with ulterior motives always turn a blind eye to China’s human rights progress, but make a judgment via blinkers.

However, over the past years, China has made great achievements in human rights undertakings. For instance, food and clothing are no longer a problem for the 1.3 billion Chinese people. Over the past three decades, over 700 million people have been lifted out of poverty, accounting for more than 70 percent of the global poverty reduction. China is the first country to have realized the Millennium Development Goal of halving its poor population.

At present, 770 million Chinese are employed and nine-year compulsory education has achieved universal coverage. Rights of 230 million senior residents and 85 million handicapped people are well protected, and the basic life of over 60 million low-income residents in urban and rural areas is supported by the government.

Prior to the founding of PRC in 1949, China’s per capita life expectancy was only 35, and for now the number has been raised to 76. China is hailed by the UN as having the best record of improving life expectancy during the past three decades.

Tom Zwart, director of the Netherlands School of Human Rights Research, ranked China’s record of poverty relief among the greatest human rights achievements of all time.  He didn’t hesitate to show his anger towards false speeches belittling China’s progress.

“I sincerely congratulate on the remarkable success of the CPC and Chinese government in eradicating poverty,” added Zwart, also a human rights professor with Utrecht University.

China has been actively engaged in international human rights cooperation based on the spirit of equality, mutual trust, inclusiveness, and mutual benefit, so as to push forward with a just and objective international human rights system.

In 2016, China was elected to the UN Human Rights Council by 180 votes, becoming one of a few countries which have sat in the Council for four times.

China has joined 26 international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and five other core human rights covenants. It also shoulders its international human rights responsibilities by accepting multiple human rights reviews.

In addition, China has held human rights dialogues and exchanges with almost 40 countries, launched technical cooperation on human rights with UN agencies, injecting great energy into global human rights governance.

Zamir Akram, chair-rapporteur of the Working Group on the Right to Development at the United Nations Human Rights Council, commented that China is the only social and economic entity that has ever achieved such a rapid development.

“Over 700 million Chinese people have been lifted out of poverty in such a short period,” he hailed, adding that the country also has offered big amount of aid to other developing countries.

北欧绿色邮报网报道（主编陈雪霏）据人民日报记者 李宁报道，中国民政部、发展和改革委员会、公安部、财政部、国土资源部、全国老龄工作委员会办公室等13个部门日前联合印发《关于加快推进养老服务业放管服改革的通知》，通过加大简政放权力度，强化监管能力，提高服务水平，进一步调动社会力量参与养老服务业发展的积极性，降低创业准入的制度性成本，营造公平规范的发展环境。

中国已处于老龄化社会，对养老服务需求巨大。2015年全国60岁及以上老人达到2.2亿，占总人口16.1%。养老服务质量关系2亿多老年人口，特别是4000多万失能半失能老年人的晚年幸福。然而，与日益增长的养老服务需求相比，中国养老服务供给总量和质量依然严重不足，城乡公共设施不适合问题突出，老年产品生产和供应落后等问题普遍存在。

养老服务业既是涉及亿万群众福祉的民生事业，也是具有巨大发展潜力的朝阳产业。去年底，中国国务院印发了《关于全面放开养老服务市场提升养老服务质量的若干意见》，提出：养老向居家社区服务倾斜，向农村倾斜，向失能、半失能老年人倾斜。进一步扩大护理型服务资源，大力培育发展小型化、连锁化、专业化服务机构。

针对当前存在的养老服务短板，《意见》还提出，在居家社区养老服务方面，将加快建设社区综合服务信息平台，提供助餐、助洁、助行、助浴、助医等上门服务。鼓励建设小型社区养老院，满足老年人就近养老需求。

China accelerates reform to boost senior service industry

By Li Ning from People’s Daily

By further streamlining administration and delegating power, strengthening supervision and improving the service level, China will mobilize social forces to participate in the development of elderly care industry, lower the institutional cost for entrepreneurship and create a fair development environment, according to a policy paper released by relevant Chinese authorities recently.

The Notice on Accelerating the Reform on the Entry, Supervision and Service Level of the Senior Service Industry was released by thirteen departments, including Ministry of Civil Affairs, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Land and Resources and National Elderly Work Committee Office.

Now entering into an aging society, China has huge demands for the elderly nursing industry. In 2015, the number of senior aged over 60 in China reached 220 million, accounting for 16.1 percent of the total population.

The quality of the industry concerns over 200 million senior citizens, especially the over 40 million incapacitated or semi- incapacitated elderly.

However, the sheer quantity and quality of China’s senior service supply still fall short of the increasing demand for the industry. China is now still headache with inaccessibility of urban and rural public facilities, as well as insufficient supply of senior products.

Other than a livelihood project involving the welfare of billions of people, the senior service industry is also a rising business with great potential.

At the end of last year, the Chinese State Council released a guideline on widening the access of the senior service market and improving the quality of senior service, requiring the service to orient towards community, rural areas as well as incapacitated and semi-incapacitated senior citizens.

Nursing care resources should be further expanded and the development of small-sized and professional chain service agencies should be vigorously supported, read the guideline.

To address the short boards in senior service, the guideline also pointed out that for community senior service, China will speed up the construction of a comprehensive service information platform and provide such home service as meal assistance, cleaning assistance, walking aid, bathing assistance and medical assistance.

Small-sized community nursing homes are encouraged to meet the needs of senior citizens within close proximity as well.

北欧绿色邮报网报道（主编陈雪霏）据人民日报记者 杜一菲报道：山东省博兴县有个著名的淘宝村。

作为有名的“淘宝村”，山东省博兴县锦秋街道湾头村的传统老手艺草柳编工艺品卖得红火，2016年网上销售额达到3亿元；四川南充市西充县凤鸣镇双龙桥村将乡村旅游与电子商务融合，让民宿走上“星级服务”，网络订单纷至沓来，还有不少外国游客光顾……

“淘宝村”是指活跃网店数量达到当地家庭户数10%以上、电子商务年交易额达到1000万元以上的村庄。“淘宝村”现象是电子商务促进中国农村经济发展和农民增收的一大标志。中国农业部预计，2016年中国农产品网络零售交易总额可达2200亿元，同比增长46%。阿里研究院最近发布的报告显示，中国“淘宝村”数量达到1311个，并创造了超过84万个就业岗位。

有专家表示，随着互联网的普及和农村物流网络的完善，制约农村物流的信息不畅、物流基础薄弱等瓶颈一定程度上得到缓解，中西部特别是偏远地区的发展潜力被更好地挖掘，消费需求得到有效释放。

基础设施落后、收入低、缺乏竞争优势等因素一直以来是困扰农村发展、造成劳动力外流的重要原因。农村电商对农村市场环境优化、产业结构升级、富余劳动力转移具有巨大促进作用。数据显示，致富项目让返乡人越来越多，农村电商的发展使外出人口减少约1200万人。

政策和市场是驱动农村电商发展的双轮。2017年中央一号文件聚焦农业供给侧结构性改革，其中明确提出要推进农村电商发展。另一方面，电商企业和传统企业纷纷涉足农村电商。不久前，四川省与阿里巴巴集团、蚂蚁金服集团签署战略合作协议。阿里巴巴集团董事局主席马云表示：“发展农村电商，我希望阿里在四川为县委书记、县长们做一次农村电商及村淘的培训。县委书记、县长的理念提升了，农村电商的成功率将大幅提升。”目前，阿里巴巴农村淘宝已经覆盖全国23000多个村。

Chinese ‘Taobao villages’ create more than 840,000 job opportunities

By Du Yifei from People’s Daily

Thanks to the rapid development of China’s e-commerce industry, over 1,000 “Taobao villages” across the country are turning poor communities into huge online retail hubs, creating more than 840,000 job opportunities.

These villages are so-named because at least 10 percent of the population living in these rural communities makes its living by selling products online—mostly on Taobao.com, the Alibaba-owned consumer-to-consumer marketplace. The e-commerce annual turnover of each village is no less than 10 million yuan.

By selling crafts online from their hometown of Wantou Village, Boxing county in east China’s Shandong Province, villagers made online sales of over 300 million yuan ($43.5 million) last year.

Similarly, villagers of the Shuanglongqiao Village in Nanchong, southwest China’s Sichuan province, have allured flocks of tourists, including foreigners, to stay and experience the star-level accommodation at their houses, via e-commerce platforms.

These villages offer a glimpse into how e-commerce industry spurs the rural economic growth and the farmers’ benefits.

Online retail sales of China’s farm produce are estimated at 220 billion yuan ($32 billion) in 2016, up over 46 percent over the previous year, the Ministry of Agriculture said.

The latest figures from Aliresearch showed that there were 1,311 Taobao villages across China, and over 840,000 jobs were created by the clusters.

Experts said that popularity of Internet and improvement of rural infrastructure have to some extent removed the bottlenecks restraining their information communication and logistics. The market potential and demands of the central and western part of China, especially those remote areas, was leveraged as a result.

They added that rural areas have been constrained by labor outflow, poor infrastructure, low incomes and lack of competitive advantages, while an e-commerce development will help optimize market environment, upgrade industrial structure and absorb more labors.

The profitability of e-commerce has attracted a rising number of rural residents to return home, according to statistics. Thanks to the development of e-commerce, about 12 million people left for brighter futures have come back to build up the local economy.

The development of e-commerce, as experts believe, can be attributed to favorable policies and the rising market demand.

The recently-released first policy statement from the central authorities for 2017, usually an indicator of policy priorities, emphasized the importance of supply-side structural reform in the agricultural sector, urging the development of e-commerce industry in rural areas.

At the same time, e-commerce and traditional businesses have cast their eyes to the rural areas. So far, Alilbaba has expanded its services to over 23,000 villages nationwide.

Days earlier, a strategic cooperation agreement to boost rural e-commerce was inked by Sichuan province, Alibaba Group and Ant Financial Services Group, the mobile payment affiliate of Alibaba.

Alibaba CEO Jack Ma said that his company hopes to offer a training on e-commerce and Taobao villages to those county officials of the province, explaining that their rising awareness to develop e-commerce will guarantee the business success of the province.
