February 11th this year marks the 60th anniversary of the National People’s Congress’s approval and promulgation of the Hanyu Pinyin Scheme (February 11th, 1958, approved and promulgated by the Fifth Session of the First National People’s Congress). Since the implementation of hanyu pinyin, it has achieved fruitful results: at home, it has become an important tool to read Chinese characters, eliminate illiteracy and learn Putonghua; Internationally, it has become the standard of transliteration of Chinese characters in Latin. The birth of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme is closely related to the implementation of Latinized new characters in people’s lives since the 1930s, and some features of Latinized new characters have been absorbed in the Chinese Pinyin Scheme. The Latinized New Characters Movement is also a colorful chapter in the history of Chinese language and writing. It is a passionate era in which everyone designs Pinyin and strives to be a Cang Xie in order to save the country through education.

The Latinized Textbook published in Shanghai in 1935

Origin: the birth of Latin new characters in northern dialect

The Latinized New Characters is a Chinese phonetic alphabet scheme that was implemented among the masses from the early 1930s to 1958 before the announcement of the Chinese phonetic alphabet scheme. It played an important role in China’s character reform movement and was the predecessor of Chinese Pinyin. Compared with other previous pinyin schemes, such as Wittoma-Zhai Lisi Pinyin (see the article "The most famous Chinese-English dictionary in the first half of the 20th century, including the pronunciations of 12 dialects" published by The Paper Fanshu Party on April 28, 2017) and the Romance of Mandarin (see "The Romance of Mandarin, the Failed Attempt of the Elite to Rebuild Civilization" published by The Paper Private History on January 12, 2018). Another major difference is that the first two were designed by sinologists and domestic linguists from Western consulates in China. However, Latinized new characters are a phonetic scheme invented by left-wing intellectuals and attracted the participation of the public.

Qu Qiubai

In April 1928, Qu Qiubai went to Moscow to preside over the upcoming Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. At this time, it was the climax of the Soviet Union’s campaign to eliminate illiteracy, and the literacy target also included 100,000 Chinese workers in the Far East of the Soviet Union. In September, 1928, the Nanjing National Government College (once renamed as the College by the Ministry of Education) officially published the French Pinyin of Roman Characters in Mandarin, which was drawn up by the "Several People’s Association". Like Lu Xun, Qu Qiubai thinks that the Roman characters in Mandarin are a scheme formulated by scholars in the study, which is divorced from reality; Chinese, who was in the Soviet Union at that time, also believed that Latin alphabet literacy should be faster than Chinese character education. Therefore, he is determined to create a set of pinyin schemes that are more suitable for the public.

In February, 1929, with the help of Soviet sinologist Guo Zhisheng (C·B·Колокопов), Qu Qiubai drew up the Draft of Latin Alphabet of China. In October, the plan was finalized and finally named "The Latinized Letters of China". In the spring of 1930, "The Latinized Letter of China" was first published in the No.2 issue of Moscow’s "China Question" magazine, and then a one-line booklet was published by China Workers’ Communist University Press, which caused great repercussions. The booklet is printed in Chinese characters, Latin new characters and Russian, and its contents are in three aspects: first, it talks about the difficulty of learning Chinese characters and the possibility of pinyin of China characters; The second is to talk about whether it is necessary to note the tone; The third is the scheme and spelling.

The Latinized Letters of China.

In September, 1931, Vladivostok held the first congress on the Latinization of China characters, and determined the plan for the Latinization of new characters. However, because the Chinese workers in Vladivostok are basically northerners, in fact, the plan adopted by the conference is only one kind of Latin new characters in the northern dialect. Its phonetic standard is close to the old national sound established by the "Pronunciation Unification Conference" in 1913 (see The Paper Private History, June 25, 2017, The Attempt of phonetic chinese characters Without Inheritance: The History of Phonetic Symbols). Beila, as the predecessor of Chinese Pinyin, has a high similarity. The main differences are:

First, distinguish the sharp group sounds, and see the postal pinyin of word processing, even if it is palatalized, it is spelled without palatalization. Example: giu (9), ziu (wine).

Second, do not write empty rhymes (vowels on the tip of the tongue), I only mark vowels [i]. Example: z (word).

(3) ? [y] of Chinese Pinyin, and writing y in new characters; However, y[j], which is used as a prefix by Chinese Pinyin, is defined as J in new characters, but it is only used to separate syllables in the middle of words.

Fourth, the er of Chinese pinyin, writing r in new characters.

Fifth, the tone is not marked, and the tone is regarded as an element that should be removed from Chinese. Save only a few that are extremely necessary and easily confused, and distinguish them by changing spelling, for example: jou (You), ju (You), maai (Buy), mai (Sell), Shansi (Shanxi) and Shanansi (Shaanxi);

Sixth, direct spelling of foreign words, for example: Latinxua (Latinization).

A New Latin Writing Scheme for Northern Dialect

The Congress also formulated thirteen principles of Latin new characters. Generally speaking, Chinese phonetic characters must be modernized, internationalized, popularized and dialectalized. Proceeding from the national conditions at that time, the Congress advocated that all dialects in China should be covered as far as possible in letter design, and each dialect could be written by itself. Popularization and dialectalization are the biggest differences between new characters and Guoluo, and Guoluo has clear phonetic standards, as Lu Xun later said: "Now China is not unified by one language, so it is necessary to spell according to the languages of different places and communicate in the future." (Lu Xun’s "On New Characters") In addition, due to the limitations of the times, the General Assembly, like the Guoluo School, believes that Chinese characters should be abolished.

On March 16th, 1950, Ningbo People’s Daily reprinted the Thirteen Principles of New Characters in China.

After the scheme was determined, in a short time, great progress was made in latinized new characters. By November 1933, the Far East had published 47 books in new languages, with a total of more than 100,000 copies printed.

Spark: the practice of Latin new characters in Ningbo dialect

In the early 1930 s, although overseas education on new characters had been carried out in full swing; At home, because the Kuomintang blocked the news, the public didn’t know the new characters at first. Fang Shan Jing (pen name Jiao Feng, a native of Zhenhai, Zhejiang), an esperantist, was the first to introduce new Latin characters to China. In 1933, after he saw Xiao San’s "Latinization of Chinese Calligraphy" in the publication "New Stage" of the Esperanto organ, he translated it into Chinese, which attracted the attention of domestic cultural circles. In October of the same year, Fang Shanjing published "The Latinization of Chinese Calligraphy", calling for vigorously promoting new characters.

Fang Shan territory

Shanghai is the center of the Latin New Character Movement. In 1934, the debate on popular language began in Shanghai cultural circles. Lu Xun and others criticized Wang Maozu and other old literati’s perverse ideas at that time, such as "abolishing vernacular", "restoring classical Chinese" and "advocating respecting Confucius and reading classics", which also promoted the movement of Latin new characters. Ye Laishi, a character reformer (formerly known as Bao Shuyuan, a native of Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province, who has served as secretary-general, deputy director and consultant of the China Character Reform Committee since the founding of the People’s Republic of China) pointed out in Popular Language, Dialect and Latinization: "Dialect characters (pinyin characters written in dialects) are a sharp weapon to eliminate illiteracy". It is an important stage of the development of popular language, which is mutually promoted and closely combined with the popular language movement. Therefore, it actively advocates the latinization of dialect areas everywhere. On October 13th, Lu Xun published an article, saying that new characters are a sharp weapon for literacy: "But in China, only about two-tenths of the population are literate, and of course there are fewer people who can write … until the proposal of Latinization appears, this is the key to solving the problem." (Lu Xun’s essays on Jiejieting, the rebirth of China language).

Ye Laishi

In August of that year, Ye Laishi and others set up the Chinese Latinization Research Association in Shanghai, and began to spread the new Latin characters. The first thing the seminar did was to publish a booklet introducing new characters, The Latinization of Chinese Writing-Theory, Principles and Scheme. In November, Speech Science, the journal of esperanto association, published the Latin Draft of Ningbo Dialect in Fang Shan, which proved that the new characters can be popularized and dialectomized. This exciting practice has greatly expanded the influence scope of Latinized new characters.

The Latinization of Chinese Writing-Theoretical Principle Scheme

The biggest reason why Lu Xun supports new characters is that they are easy to learn. "As long as you know 28 letters and learn a little spelling and writing, anyone can write and understand them except slackers and imbeciles. And it also has the advantage of writing quickly. " (Lu Xun’s essays on Jiejie Pavilion, Talking about Foreign Languages) In March 1935, Mao Dun also published On New Characters, explaining his clear support position.

In December, 1935, the latinized new characters ushered in the most brilliant node in the history of sports. Tao Xingzhi initiated the establishment of the China New Characters Research Association in Shanghai, as the general meeting of the national new characters research groups, which played a great coordinating role for associations and workers all over the country. The seminar passed the "Our Opinions on Promoting New Characters" signed by 688 famous people from all walks of life in China, including Cai Yuanpei (he was the main supporter of Guoluo, but now he supports new characters), Sun Ke, Lu Xun, Tao Xingzhi and Chen Wangdao. The opinion said: "China has arrived in do or die (in 1996, the Japanese began to encroach on North China and set up the puppet regime’ Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Government’), and we must educate the public … The new characters that China people need are pinyin new characters." In the opinion, six specific suggestions were put forward to promote the new characters.

Latinized Chinese character reading "Everyone forms a heart"

Start a prairie fire: the spread of Latin new characters in popular language

Wu Zhihui, president of "Pronunciation Unification Association", once recalled that there were various pinyin schemes collected at the meeting in 1913, which made him feel that "everyone wants to be Cang Xie". Compared with the spreading period of Latin new characters, the enthusiasm of design scheme in this period is obviously far behind. Designers of phonetic symbols need to have a high level of knowledge in traditional primary schools (primary schools are the subjects that study the ancient Chinese language and characters in China, including phonology of phonetic interpretation, philology of phonetic interpretation, exegetics of interpretation, etc.), and all 80 representatives of the pronunciation unification association are linguistic elites; The designer of the Latinized New Text Scheme only needs to have literacy level. Under the impetus of domestic celebrities such as Lu Xun and the influence of core scholars such as Fang Shan Jing, N kinds of Latin new characters appeared, and the era of everyone striving to be Cang Xie appeared in China. This is actually an extension and practice of the popular language movement in terms of words.

From 1934 to 1937, following Beila, China Latinized New Characters successively designed 13 dialect schemes, including Ningbo dialect, Shanghai dialect (later renamed Jiangnan dialect), Suzhou dialect, Wuxi dialect, Wenzhou dialect, Fuzhou dialect, Xiamen dialect, Hakka dialect, Guangzhou dialect, Chaozhou dialect, Guangxi dialect, Hubei dialect and Sichuan dialect. Moreover, many large dialects even have county-level dialect schemes. For example, Ningbo, the hometown of Fang Shan, has also produced a new Latin script of Zhenhai dialect (designer Li Changlai) and a new script of Dinghai dialect (designer Yang Liangji). In this era, the popularity of mass pinyin design may only be comparable to that in the 1980s, when thousands of Chinese character input methods were invented.

Another manifestation of the rapid development of the Latinized New Characters Movement is the emergence of a large number of folk research groups. As a linguist, Ni Haishu (formerly known as Ni Weiliang, a native of Shanghai, who was the deputy director of the China Character Reform Committee after the founding of the People’s Republic of China) made statistics: "Since the Latinized Chinese characters were put forward, they have been in Shanghai, Beiping, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Kaifeng, Xi ‘an, Chongqing, Kunming, Hankou, Changsha, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Ningbo, Dushan, Guangdong and Puning. From August 1934 to August 1937, there were at least 70 Latinized groups established in various places in the past three years. " (Ni Haishu, "A Brief History of the Phonetic Character Movement in China")

Since the development of the Latinized New Characters Movement, the Nanjing National Government has been in a state of opposition, believing that it will affect the status of phonetic symbols. On January 1, 1936, the Kuomintang began to ban new characters and ordered newspapers to ban articles about new characters. "Then people were arrested in Shanghai, Beiping and other places, and all of them were run by the Communist Party." (Ni Haishu’s "The History and Chronicle of the Latinized New Characters Movement") In October, students in the new characters class of Shanghai Workers’ Night School were also arrested for writing banners of Latinized new characters in northern dialect and Shanghai dialect to bid farewell to Lu Xun.

In 1938, Chiang Kai-shek lost to Hankou. In May, in order to cope with the cruel War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and unite all forces that can be United, the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang Central Committee had to announce the lifting of the ban. "If the Latinization movement of Chinese characters does not hinder or distract the Chinese people from the war of resistance, it is not bad to study it from a purely academic standpoint, or to regard it as a tool of social movements." (Ni Haishu, "The History and Chronicle of the Latinized New Characters Movement") The new characters have finally been recognized by the National Government. Fang Shan Jing and Ye Laishi, the core figures of the New Writing Movement who retreated to Hankou, also reached a consensus of reconciliation with their opponents-Guo Luo Pai Wang Yuchuan after interviews. In September, Hankou, as the wartime command center of the Kuomintang, also appeared such new books as Mr. Sun Yat-sen’s Three People’s Principles.

The New Text Version of Mr. Zhongshan’s Three People’s Principles

Unlike the Kuomintang, communist party has been actively supporting the Latinized New Writing Movement. The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and various base areas (liberated areas) have established the New Characters Research Society. In February 1940, the Latinized Sowing Team was established in the anti-Japanese base area in northern Jiangsu. In November 1940, Yan ‘an established the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region New Characters Association. In June 1942, the Huainan New Characters Promotion Association was established in the Jiangsu-Anhui Border Region. At that time, stamps or teaching materials with new characters were issued in the liberated areas, which is the historical evidence of the application of new characters. On December 23, 2017, Poly Autumn Auction, a 1943 "Huainan" five-pointed star with a 20-point stamp was sold for 3,105,000 yuan; At the same time, a 10-cent stamp issued by Shuzhu District in 1945 was auctioned.

In 1949, the textbook of Liaoxi Provincial People’s Government in the Liberated Area "Nine-day Pass of New Characters"

After the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, compared with the almost disappeared national language Roman characters, the Latin new characters also showed great vitality. From November 1937 to November 1938, Ni Haishu and others conducted literacy experiments in 40 refugee shelters and 30,000 refugees in Shanghai, and achieved remarkable results. In the liberated areas, people use Beila to literacy, and the effect is also obvious.

Teaching situation of new language classes in refugee shelters

During the period from liberation to the publication of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme, Chinese people’s enthusiasm for the study of new characters remained the same. Shanghai New Writers Association was established in September 1949, with Chen Wangdao as its chairman and Ni Haishu as its vice chairman. The print run of Knowledge of Chinese published by the Association reaches as many as 150,000 copies per issue. Major cities in China, such as Hangzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao, and even overseas Chinese in Japan and Singapore also have new character education activities.

In August, 1949, Wu Yuzhang wrote to President Mao Zedong, suggesting that in order to effectively eliminate illiteracy, it is necessary to carry out rapid text reform. On October 10th, China Character Reform Association was formally established, with the task of studying the formulation of Chinese Pinyin scheme. In December, 1951, the Cultural Education Committee of the State Council set up the China Character Reform Research Committee, with Ma Xulun as the chairman and Wu Yuzhang as the vice-chairman. The members mainly included those who had participated in phonetic symbols, those who had participated in Roman characters in the national language (the former two were li jinxi) and those who had participated in Latin new characters (such as Ye Laishi and Ni Haishu). By 1955, 633 people from all over the country and overseas Chinese had sent 655 Chinese phonetic alphabet schemes, of which 264 were selected by the Chinese Character Reform Research Committee and compiled into the Compilation of Chinese phonetic alphabet schemes sent by people from all over the country as reference materials for developing Chinese phonetic alphabet schemes. This phenomenal scene is inseparable from the new writing movement.

"Compilation of Chinese Pinyin Writing Schemes Sent by People from Various Places"

On October 14th, 1955, the Pinyin Scheme Committee of China Character Reform Commission submitted the First Draft of the Scheme of Chinese Pinyin Characters (Latin alphabet) to the National Character Reform Conference, which was similar to Beila, but also divided into different groups. In 1958, the officially promulgated Chinese Pinyin Scheme also absorbed the characteristics of phonetic symbols, national Roman characters and Latin new characters.

On February 3, 1958, Wu Yuzhang gave a report on the scheme of Chinese Pinyin at the Fifth Session of the First National People’s Congress.

In January 1986, in his later years, Ye Laishi fondly recalled: "The Latinized New Characters was the most extensive and far-reaching character reform movement in the history of China before liberation … It was closely integrated with the national salvation movement at that time, and went deep into workers, peasants, troops, refugees and overseas Chinese, and received extremely enthusiastic support from many progressive and patriotic people, such as Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Yilin, Lu Xun and others … (Preface of Ni Haishu’s "The Beginning and End of the Latinized New Character Movement and Chronicle") This assertion of the old man is the best summary of the New Character Movement.

No bid, no sales; There is no raw material in the bid. Can pharmaceutical companies with "involuntary fate" survive in the cracks?

Recently, Zhejiang Pharmaceutical Machinery Purchasing Center issued a notice on suspending the online trading of cefmetazole sodium for injection of Suzhou Dongrui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Dongrui Pharmaceutical).

Description of the announcement: The cefmetazole sodium for injection produced by Suzhou Dongrui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. failed to fulfill the obligation of selecting the first batch of drugs in our province, and said that the raw materials of cefmetazole sodium for injection could not be purchased and the normal supply of the drug could not be guaranteed. After research, the online trading of cefmetazole sodium for injection (specifications: 0.5g and 1.0g) produced by Suzhou Dongrui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. will be suspended from now on.

According to the description in the announcement, the reason why Dongrui Pharmaceutical fulfilled the obligation of winning the bid was related to the inability to purchase raw materials.

01 or withdraw from the network due to the supply of raw materials.

In November, 2020, Zhejiang Medical Machinery Procurement Center issued the Procurement Document for Centralized Procurement of Some Drugs in Zhejiang Province, announcing that eight drugs, such as Rabeprazole Oral Constant Release Dosage, Ursodeoxycholic Acid Oral Constant Release Dosage and Cefemetazole Injection, will be purchased with quantity, and the procurement cycle will be 12 months. Among them, the agreed purchase quantity of cefmetazole injection (specification 1.0g) is 2,502,800 pieces.

In January this year, Zhejiang Medical Machinery Purchasing Center announced the results of the selection, involving 10 varieties. According to the principle of winning the bid in Zhejiang Province, if there are more than two bidding enterprises, the lowest quotation will be selected, and only one enterprise can be selected. Dongrui Pharmaceutical beat 17 other competitors, such as Harbin Pharmaceutical Group, Fuan Qingyutang, Beite Pharmaceutical, etc. The company’s cefmetazole sodium for injection (powder injection, packaging specification: 1.0g/ bottle) was selected by 8.2 yuan. The successful result will be implemented from March 15th.

However, on April 14th, Zhejiang Pharmaceutical Machinery Purchasing Center released another report on the purchasing results of cefmetazole sodium injection. According to the circular, because Dongrui Pharmaceutical refused to fulfill its bid-winning obligations, it did not complete the work of signing the purchase and sale agreement and establishing the distribution relationship, which affected the normal implementation of the bid-winning results. As for the lack of cefmetazole sodium in centralized drugs due to Dongrui Pharmaceutical’s failure to fulfill the obligation of selection, the processing method of Zhejiang Medical Machinery Purchasing Center is that the purchase of cefmetazole sodium injection with quantity is treated as no selected product, and all medical and health institutions temporarily purchase it according to the original method.

Dongrui Pharmaceutical may also be defended for failing to fulfill its obligations as required and causing losses to medical and health institutions.

For enterprises with dishonesty, Zhejiang Medical Equipment Purchasing Center has also implemented notification measures while reminding medical and health institutions to choose carefully and avoid purchasing products from untrustworthy enterprises.

When pharmaceutical companies participate in centralized procurement declaration, they will be required to provide the Commitment Letter of Drug Declaration Enterprise. Among them, it includes the requirement of credibility: there is no serious illegal record in the two years before the declaration, such as disturbing the order of centralized procurement, maliciously violating the contract and other acts contrary to honesty and credit. The requirement for production capacity is that the annual production capacity of the declared varieties should reach 2 times or more of the agreed purchase quantity. If it is untrue, it is willing to accept the treatment including canceling the qualification for winning the bid and including bad records.

Under normal circumstances, the punishment result of the successful company’s failure to fulfill the obligation of successful selection will be more serious, while the punishment result of Dongrui Pharmaceutical this time is notification, which is relatively light. This result may be related to the inability of Dongrui Pharmaceutical to purchase APIs.

According to the company’s official website, Dongrui Pharmaceutical is mainly engaged in the development, manufacture and sales of cephalosporin antibiotics and system specialized drugs. According to the information of domestic drugs in National Medical Products Administration, there are currently 28 pharmaceutical companies in China with a total of 65 registered production approvals of Cefmetazole Sodium for Injection. Suzhou Dongrui has registered production approval documents of 1.0g and 0.5g cefmetazole sodium for injection.

According to media reports, it was learned from interviews with several regional sales leaders of Suzhou Dongrui that raw materials could not be purchased because the upstream raw material enterprises were unwilling to supply Suzhou Dongrui. "At first, we were told to raise prices substantially, but we accepted it. But then the manufacturer said that it could not be supplied. " Informed employees of the company revealed.

In China, only six pharmaceutical companies, including Harbin Pharmaceutical Group, Fuan Pharmaceutical Group, Chongqing Bosheng Pharmaceutical and Chongqing Gisrui Pharmaceutical, have registered production approval documents for cefmetazole sodium raw materials.

According to Health Network, in February this year, the price of rare varieties of cephalosporin raw materials doubled, and the most concerned small product was cefmetazole sodium raw material. The recent price increase was caused by the price increase of raw materials and the lack of manufacturers. The original price of domestic manufacturers was about 4,000 yuan /kg, and now it is quoted at 8,000 yuan /kg.

The supply cut-off incident of Dongrui Pharmaceutical further highlights the "dilemma" faced by pharmaceutical companies whose raw materials are not in their own hands: if a large number of raw materials are hoarded before the election, but the results are not selected, the pharmaceutical companies will face the risk of unsalable products and broken capital chains at any time; If you don’t hoard a large number of APIs, but the result is selected, you will face the current problem of Dongrui Pharmaceutical, "you can’t buy APIs with money", which will eventually lead to the suspension of drug supply.

02 API monopoly, who is controlling it?

Since the procurement with quantity was carried out at the end of 2018, the supply interruption of selected products has occurred from time to time.

In 2019, the supply of Fosinopril sodium tablets of Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) was cut off due to insufficient supply, which became the first cut-off event after centralized procurement, and was finally supplemented by Huahai Pharmaceutical. At the end of last year, two selected products, Penglai Nuokang Pharmaceutical Metformin Tablets and Nanjing Changao Pharmaceutical Pivastatin Calcium Tablets, were unable to be supplied in sufficient quantities in a short period of time, so the transition period was increased by three months.

There are many reasons for drug supply interruption, and the shortage and price increase of raw materials are very important factors. In recent years, many API companies have also been issued "sky-high fines" for alleged monopoly.

At the beginning of this month, Tianyao Co., Ltd. was punished by Tianjin Municipal Market Supervision and Management Committee for allegedly reaching a monopoly agreement on fluoxetine bulk drug, with a fine of 44.02 million yuan.

In April, 2020, the State Administration of Market Supervision made an administrative penalty decision on the illegal acts of abusing the dominant market position of three calcium gluconate raw material drug distribution enterprises, namely Shandong Kanghui Medicine, Weifang Taiyangshen Medicine and Weifang Puyunhui Medicine, and confiscated a total of 325.5 million yuan. This is also the biggest fine for the monopoly of APIs since the implementation of the Anti-Monopoly Law.

In November 2020, Wanbangde Pharmaceutical was fined 2.474 million yuan for abusing its dominant market position and attaching unreasonable trading conditions to the production and sale of bromhexine hydrochloride.

According to the Annual Report on Anti-monopoly Law Enforcement in China (2019) issued by the State Administration of Market Supervision at the end of 2020, there were 6 monopoly cases in the API industry in 2019. According to incomplete statistics, since 2016, a total of 15 companies, including Tianyao Co., Ltd., have been subject to administrative penalties for monopolistic behavior of APIs.

Why monopoly events frequently occur in the field of APIs?

There may be "passive" and "active" reasons for this.

"More registered pieces, less actual production". China holds 8482 valid API approval documents, and there are 1699 pharmaceutical companies with API production license qualifications. However, there are few companies that can actually produce and actually produce.

According to the information released by the Price Supervision, Inspection and Anti-monopoly Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, there are about 1,500 kinds of APIs in China, but their production is in the hands of a few manufacturers, of which only one enterprise can produce 50 kinds of APIs, only two enterprises can produce 44 kinds of APIs and only three enterprises can produce 40 kinds of APIs. Some people in the industry have also analyzed that many enterprises are unwilling to produce low-priced drugs because of their low prices and low profits, which is more likely to lead to monopoly.

"Environmental protection costs are under great pressure". On January 1, 2018, the "Environmental Protection Tax Law" was officially implemented, and the collection of sewage charges was changed to the collection of environmental protection fees, which greatly increased the cost for API manufacturers that needed a large amount of sewage discharge. Raw material medicine enterprises urgently need to be upgraded, and in the process of upgrading, some enterprises closed down because they could not bear the cost of upgrading.

Only a few companies have the qualification for examination and approval and the production capacity. In addition, with the increase of costs, the number of API enterprises has further decreased, and the output has also been affected.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, since 2018, the output of APIs in China has experienced a cliff-like decline, from 3.478 million tons in 2017 to 2.823 million tons in 2018, and then to 2.621 million tons in 2019. In the case of "scarcity is precious", the price of raw materials has also soared. In 2018, the price of roxithromycin rose from 590 yuan/kg in May to 735 yuan/kg in October. The price of chlorpheniramine, commonly used in cold medicine, rose from 400 yuan /kg to 23,300 yuan /kg in just one month, up 58 times.

In view of the "passive" monopoly of API enterprises, Wu Huifang, the general manager and chief researcher of Health Network, has conducted an analysis before. "There are mainly two aspects: on the one hand, the output is not large, although there are some approval numbers for APIs, there are few manufacturers that can actually produce them normally, and the size of preparation manufacturers is uneven. In this case, the price increase of APIs is also a last resort; On the other hand, the monopoly of many APIs is not caused by the active behavior of API companies, but by the competitive means of preparation distributors, especially for preparation bidding, that is, the underwriting party forces competitors to make concessions in preparation bidding by controlling the supply of APIs. "

In addition to the "passive" factors, there are also many enterprises in the market who choose to "do it intentionally". According to insiders, some of the monopoly phenomena of APIs are due to human manipulation. One mode is to indirectly control several natural persons to acquire the approval documents, so that all the market of the API is assigned to its own "circle", and finally only one of them is allowed to produce, and the rest of the approval documents are idle, resulting in monopoly of the market, and then the price is raised. Another mode is to sign a "National General Underwriting Agreement" between a third-party commercial company and an API enterprise, so that all APIs can be brought together. If you want to buy APIs, you can only buy them through the channels provided by the company, but API enterprises can’t participate in the pricing, resulting in monopoly.

These models make it more difficult for the regulatory authorities to investigate and deal with monopoly events.

In addition, according to Article 47 of the Anti-Monopoly Law, "if an operator violates the provisions of this law and abuses the dominant position in the market, the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency shall order him to stop the illegal act, confiscate the illegal income and impose a fine of more than 1% and less than 10% of the sales in the previous year."

In the monopoly case of Tianyao shares, Tianyao shares were fined 4% of sales in 2019 and confiscated illegal income. The proportion of 4% is not high in recent years because of the monopoly of APIs. Previously, Kanghui Company, Puyunhui Company and Taiyangshen Company were fined 10%, 9% and 7% of the annual sales in 2018 respectively for the monopoly of calcium gluconate for API injection.

However, in terms of the amount, the 4% sales of Tianyao Co., Ltd. in 2019 corresponds to about 35.1247 million yuan, while the 9% sales of Puyunhui Company in 2018 are 48.3 million yuan, and the 7% sales of Helios Company in 2018 are 12.4 million yuan. After receiving the ticket, Tianyao Co., Ltd. lowered its estimated net profit in 2020 from the original "55 million yuan-75 million yuan" to "31 million yuan-37 million yuan", which is equivalent to a fine of nearly half of the net profit for one year.

Compared with the sales of 10% in the previous year, the price difference and huge profits brought by monopoly for several consecutive years will still make some companies choose to take risks, which is one of the reasons why the monopoly of APIs has been repeatedly banned.

How to deal with the downstream pharmaceutical enterprises

The monopoly of APIs is undoubtedly "strangled" for some downstream pharmaceutical companies. The price of raw materials is rising, and the price of centralized drugs is low. The profit margin of pharmaceutical enterprises is constantly being compressed and even the phenomenon of "price upside down" appears. Without profit margin, many pharmaceutical companies can’t give up drug production, which leads to the shortage and interruption of supply of commonly used drugs, which is extremely unfavorable to society and ordinary people.

Faced with the monopoly of APIs, the national regulatory authorities have been "striking hard" and cracking down on monopoly. And how should pharmaceutical companies in the downstream "save themselves"?

Wu Huifang said that in the market competition, the powerful preparation manufacturers left behind have sufficient purchasing power, and they are planned and do not owe debts; In addition, we can follow the procurement mode of pharmaceutical preparations, and pharmaceutical enterprises can jointly bid for the procurement of raw materials.

It is also reported that Dongrui Pharmaceutical, which withdrew from the network due to the interruption of the supply of raw materials, will build its own raw material drug production line in the future and "take its fate in its own hands".

　　[Reading Classics Theory]

　　Author: Qin Long (Professor, School of Marxism, Tianjin Normal University, researcher, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory System Research Center, Tianjin)

　　"Further grasping the law and general trend of historical development and always grasping the historical initiative of the development of the cause of the party and the state" is a clear requirement put forward by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader for the whole party. Historical initiative is the subjective temperament and action character displayed by human beings in understanding the historical process, following the historical laws, conforming to the historical trend and taking the initiative to undertake the mission. It is also the practical consciousness of human beings "pursuing their own goals". Based on the social reality, Marxist classic writers made a series of explanations on how to grasp the historical initiative in the practice of proletarian revolution and human liberation. Reviewing and reviewing relevant expositions and their practical application is instructive for us to grasp the historical initiative, overcome difficulties and obstacles and win great victories in the new era.

　　Explain historical development with scientific practice view

　　Tracing back to the development of the history of thought, before Marx’s view of history came into being, the development of human history was often regarded as pre-existing, presupposed, or understood as the product of God and religion, or as the result of natural laws. For example, Hegel’s principle of "entity is subject" holds that the self-activity of absolute spirit is the entity of subject, which governs practice and the development of human society, and history is the product of absolute spirit; Feuerbach confused the difference between natural existence and social existence, and fell into idealism when he explained history a priori with idealized "quasi-essence". In short, from the perspective of traditional philosophy, although historical existence is endowed with dynamics, the ultimate form of historical development is still closed and determined. In this case, history has no "initiative".

　　Marx surpassed the previous historical thinking and speculative thinking, thoroughly criticized Feuerbach and all the old philosophies, and put forward that "all social life is practical in essence", taking practice as the premise and foundation for people to understand the world. Marx insisted that "practice should be explained not from ideas, but from material practice", because "all mysterious things that lead theory to mysticism can be reasonably solved in human practice and understanding of this practice". To understand history through "practice", on the one hand, history is no longer defined as the product of some abstract concept, but the open space and possible process constructed by human beings in practice. All history in the real world is generated and developed through practical activities, and history is dynamic and has differences. On the other hand, from the perspective of practice, the relationship between matter and spirit, thinking and existence is in a non-identity state in activities. In Marx’s view, it is this non-identity that constitutes the driving force of social development. In other words, historical development shows the initiative in breaking the identity in this formal logical sense. As Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out, "Thought and so on are subjective things, and doing or acting is subjective to objective things, which are all special initiatives of human beings. This kind of initiative is called ‘ Conscious initiative ’”。 Thus, taking practice as the logical fulcrum, the veil of historical development was unveiled. History is human’s practical activities, and it is the development of human’s practical activities in time and space sequence. Human social practice with the masses as the main body promotes the pace of historical progress and determines the stage and level of historical development.

　　History is the activity of people who pursue their own goals.

　　Marx pointed out: "History is just the activities of people who pursue their own goals." Historical materialism always examines the historical initiative in the dimension of human liberation and freedom realization. The communist party Declaration scientifically explains the evolution process of human social forms, reveals the historical trend that "the destruction of the bourgeoisie and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable", and that the change of human social forms is objective and inevitable regardless of human will. Through a profound analysis of the development prospect of human liberation and the historical mission of the proletariat, Marx expounded the dialectical unity of proletarian liberation and human liberation and put forward a scientific plan to eliminate capital rule. It is under the guidance of these scientific theories that the proletariat grasped the historical initiative and began the revolutionary practice of overthrowing capitalist rule and liberating all mankind.

　　Marx has a keen insight into the key position and role of the proletariat and the working people in social development and revolutionary struggle. In the French Civil War, he pointed out that the working class is "the only class with social initiative" and enthusiastically eulogized the "historical initiative spirit" of "Parisians soaring to the sky". As Lenin pointed out, "what Marx attaches most importance to is the historical initiative of the masses." In Marx’s view, "historical activities are the cause of the masses, and with the deepening of historical activities, it is bound to expand the ranks of the masses" and "the liberation of workers should be the business of the working class itself", and further pointed out that in the struggle against the joint forces of the proletariat, the proletariat "can only act as a class if it organizes itself into a political party different from all the old political parties established by the proletariat". Communist party, composed of advanced proletarian elements, "has no interests different from those of the whole proletariat", has a strong historical initiative, is "the most determined and always promoting part of the workers’ political parties in various countries", and at the same time "understands the conditions, process and general results of the proletarian movement", which can represent the future of the whole movement.With the rise and expansion of modern industry, the proletariat gradually got rid of geographical limitations, created huge productivity and endless wealth, and stood on the world historical stage with a strong sense of historical subject and historical initiative. The scientific practice of the proletariat fully proves that only the revolutionary forces that respect historical laws, conform to the general trend of historical development and take scientific theory as the guidance can fully grasp the historical initiative in revolutionary practice.

　　Grasp the historical initiative in the great practice of the new era

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "As long as we grasp the law of historical development and the general trend, seize the opportunity of historical change, follow the trend and work hard, we will be able to make better progress." At present, China is in the best development period since modern times, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. In the great practice of the new era, we should firmly grasp the historical initiative and take a good road to build a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

　　Take the initiative to attack in front of opportunities, without hesitation or wait and see. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have promoted a series of transformative practices, achieved a series of breakthrough progress, and achieved a series of landmark achievements, providing a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more active spiritual strength for Chinese modernization. We should strengthen our awareness of opportunities, be good at grasping the direction, making good use of opportunities, creating conditions and controlling the overall situation from the development and changes of the situation and conditions, guide the people to scientifically understand and grasp the laws of economic and social development and modernization, and formulate a creative planning and policy system that reflects the times, grasps the regularity and leads the future in taking advantage of the trend.

　　Face up to difficulties, don’t shirk and don’t escape. The road to national rejuvenation is not smooth, and we must be ready to deal with all kinds of difficulties and challenges at any time. "History always advances, and history never waits for all hesitators, spectators, slackers and weak people." No matter what storms we encounter, we can’t stop moving forward. In the new era and new journey, we should deeply understand the new features and new requirements brought about by the major contradictions and changes in our society, and the new contradictions and new problems brought about by the complicated domestic and international environment. With the heroic spirit of "the more difficult it is, the more forward it is", we should fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the people, cope with major challenges and overcome major obstacles, and maintain the strategic initiative in accurately recognizing changes, scientifically adapting to changes and actively seeking changes.

　　Respond positively to risks without flinching or dodging. In the face of the complicated international situation, complex and sensitive surrounding environment and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, we must not only guard against risks first, but also have ingenious ways to deal with and resolve risk challenges; It is necessary not only to fight a well-prepared battle to prevent and resist risks, but also to fight a strategic active battle to turn crises into opportunities. We should always keep a sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace, be cautious in treading on thin ice, be sensitive to Ye Zhiqiu, always observe the general trend and always think about the overall situation, consider and plan in advance the risks and problems that may be encountered, make strategic changes and strategic leaps in a timely manner, and firmly grasp the initiative in development.

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Whether a country can be rich and strong, whether a nation can be revitalized, the most important thing is to see whether this country and this nation can conform to the trend of the times and grasp the initiative of historical progress." On the new journey, we must adhere to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, base ourselves on scientific practice, respect the people’s dominant position, accurately grasp the regularity and interaction of the two overall situations, gain insight into the historical trend, enhance the historical initiative, and constantly write more splendid chapters of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
