Lóng Xùn 24

Welcome to today's bulletin on the morning of 14th January 2023. In news today Jūnzhǔ bǎoshǒu dǎng has announced it has completed a coalition deal with Zìyóudǎng and was sworn in to power by the Emperor. The deal included many compromises on both sides. The main parts of the package are good news for workers as the government pledged by 2025 the minimum wage will be 30 Qin an hour with it being raised to 15 Qin an hour in 3 months and 30 Qin for workers paid by the hour in late 2024 . This was broadly expected as the party seeks to show it is on the die of the workers. Zhou Qing pressured the Qing board , a company she owns to raise there wages to 40 Qin an hour this year and take a cut in profits in the short term.

The government also announced a reforming of gay rights with a new category of marraige to come in force by the end of the year. The government will introduce civil partnerships with some tax benefits though not healthcare benefits by the end of the year. A reform of the tax system will see tax rates on those 2,000,000 Qin a year(100,000 Caprecs) be raised to 25% at the national level for the next tax year. She called this "fair and necessary" though she pledged not to raise income earned past 15% for this parliament.

Other major reforms include boosting healthcare funding to 5% of GDP and education to 4% with the introduction of Gifted Grants for those who are clever and want to access university but can't. Zhou said to our reporter "I believe if we want the economic dream to happen in this nation we need to give the oppurtunities, if people use these they will prosper but if they don't it's not our problem."An unemployment programme will be introduced with a 600 Qin a month allowance and some housing support as well as help finding a job though the benefits will be capped at 1.5 years to stop it becoming long term.

Finally a radical privatisation programme has been announced with water authorities being privatised in each of the 13 districts with foreign companies able to bid on these and the privatisation of all 5 major airports and Hángkōng Dàguó. She also announced that she had today approved two airlines Gǎng Lóng Hángkōng(Dragon Air) and Chūnqiū Hángkōng(Spring Airlines) the first budget airline in Dàguó. Zhou has promised a revolution in living standard saying "The private sector will make our services better, more efficient and raise living standards for all Dàguóns through economic investment and success. We can succeed on the global stage." Both the new airlines are leasing a fleet 15 aircraft to challenge the dominance of the main airline.

22nd February 2023:
In news today controversy has stirred over a planned execution.Zhi Yong Lin a boy from Haixa Chang was arrested in the province of Dōng hǎi'àn chéng at the age of 11 for murder after he killed his father in his own house. Authorities were called out because the father was acting violently towards him and his mother. Despite this the boy was arrested for murder and charged even though the defense claims the 11 year old at the time reacted in self defence. The boy was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging , this morning time ran out for the boy aged 13 as this morning according to his defence attorneys and lawyers campaigning for his freedom. They said "Unfortunately his morning at the age of 13 he was took from his cell and then hung.This is a devastating blow for the family and a devastating blow for the justice system which has punished a young boy who done nothing more than defend himself and his mother." As news spread through the main media networks where ever the conservative networks have criticised the execution in this case protests have erupted on the streets with organisations such as Cài ěr zī quán dàguó leaing the protests against the death penalty for children. The organisation called on government to raise the age of execution to 18 years old and only allow execution of those who are over 18 at the time the offence was committed.The organisation have said "We believe the policy is wrong, even if this boy was guilty he would not be able to reason like an adult and this is acknowledged by the fact the voting age is 18 yet we treat the child like an adult in this situation tragically ending his or her life. This is not an isolated case but one of 150 such executions a year of this kind. This is not just a tragedy but a crime and state sponsored murder. We demand a change in the law to 18 for the execution age."

Zìyóudǎng have today in response to the protests and this death demanded that the Jūnzhǔ bǎoshǒu dǎng led government raise the capital punishment age to 18 threatening to leave the coalition and align with a Shèhuì zhǔyì de and Shèhuì zhǔyì de coalition if they do not reform this area of law.It is rumoured Jūnzhǔ bǎoshǒu dǎng have agreed to author a bill to raise the capital punishment age to 18.

In news today Daguo took a huge step forward in execution law. The Bill for raising the age to 18 for execution.As a result of this any person under law cannot be executed if their crime was committed when they were under 18. The government's main party had mixed support for the bill but the bill passed due to a coalition of pro-reform Jūnzhǔ bǎoshǒu dǎng Diet members ,Shèhuì zhǔyì de,Zìyóudǎng and Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de politicians.The voting records showed strong support among liberals:

Jūnzhǔ bǎoshǒu dǎng(Monarchist Conservative Party):36% (321 seats)Aye:170 , Nay:101 Abstain:50
Àiguó zhènxiàn(Patriotic Front):Nay:40
Shèhuì zhǔyì de(Peoples Party):Aye:166 , Nay:10 Abstain:10
Zìyóudǎng(Liberal Party):Aye:145
Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de(Communist Party of Daguo):Aye:80 , Nay:72 Abstain:26
Ayes:561
Nays:223
Abstain:86

The passing of the act was celebrated with fears of a coalition breakdown not coming true. Daguons have celebrated today with the courts ordering the re-evaluating of sentences for children convicted of former capital punishment crimes.It is expected many will be put on indefinite sentences.

Civil Partnerships legalised:
In news today Civil partnerships and tax reform acts were passed. Civil partnerships were enshrined in law with Emperor Gāoguì-Zhiyuan signing the Same Sex Relations Act into law. The law now makes it possible to have a civil union which will be taxed the same as marriage and be treated similarly in inheritance law. The new category will be available from June with provisions allowing religions to perform civil unions if they wish. However same-sex marraiges in religious establishments would still have to be registered as civil unions under law. The Liberals have said they would have liked more to be signed into law but that this is a radical step forward for LGBT rights in the nation.

Same Sex Relations act
Jūnzhǔ bǎoshǒu dǎng(Monarchist Conservative Party):Aye:165 , Nay:156
Àiguó zhènxiàn(Patriotic Front):Nay:40
Shèhuì zhǔyì de(Peoples Party):Aye:80 , Nay:106
Zìyóudǎng(Liberal Party):Aye:145
Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de(Communist Party of Daguo):Aye:46 , Nay:132
Ayes:436
Nays:434

Tax Reform:
In the tax reform laws Zhou Qing announced that the the income tax rate would now be 25% with a seperate capital gains tax being taxed at 15% of income.

Privatisation:
It was announced in news today the state monopoly over airports would be broken up with all of the 5 major airports and Hángkōng Dàguó which transports over 15 million passengers a year being sold into the private sector.

Hángkōng Dàguó carries 25.2 million people and makes $5.9 billion caprecs in revenue
and 290.8 million caprecs in profit. The group is expected to sell for a good price in the government auction.

The five airports for sale are:
Dà zīběn: 3 million passenger arrivals
Dōng hǎi'àn chéng:9 million passengers
Hǎixiá Chéng:10 million passengers
Píngyuán shì:12 million passengers
Nán hǎitān shì:30 million passenger arrivals
The auction reported has a clause not allowing the same buyer to buy more than 2 airports in the country. The privatisation policy is being promoted as necessary by the government to make the transport system more efficient and bring under control airport losses. Shèhuì zhǔyì de(Peoples Party) and Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de(Communist Party of Daguo) have both criticised the sale with Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de but have been generally dismissed by businesses and experts who say state ownership is stifling airport expansion and causing a miss-allocation of resources.

2.4 million lose their jobs at Qinq:
20th June 2023

Today the nations biggest contract manufacturer announced it would be sacking 2.4 million workers over the 2023 period. The company said in a statement it regretted the level of job losses at the company but said it was the effect of a combination of the economic recession, the dropping level of orders and revenue and increased wage costs as the company put wages up to 11 times the previous levels. Finally the company also said it was getting rid 750,000 child workers who were on the books among the 3.9 million workers previously. Qing said she had wanted to get rid of the child labour before but that her brothers running the company had refused to do so because they were "cheap labour and it doesn't matter if they get injured" according the brothers. The revelations shocked the nation as regulators revealed previous audits were passed only because of bribes being paid to inspectors and that labour conditions were nowhere near good enough by even the previous low standards. The company pledged to transform itself into a model of corporate welfare with the company announcing plans to relocate to three factory cities that would have workers housing and also workers facilities such as sports centres and a community centre. Qing promised to build communities of workers and give benefits that would allow social time. Zhou Qing promised also to limit the hours that can be worked in a week to 60 hours over 5 days to prevent workers being overworked and make sure they spend time with their families. The company will be automating more of its processes to make up for wage increases.1.5 million jobs will be left at Qing Industries after the rounds of lay offs to make the business sustainable.

In news today today all of the Qing family ,Qing generals and politicians except Zhou and the children werre executed. The courts found them guilty in January of treason, mass murder and abused of human rights. The charges carry the death penalty retrospectively. The 20 Qings were led out into the parliament square today with them refusing blindfolds. They were then led onto the gallows and publicly hanged. The executions took 20 minutes.The government commented today "We can finally move on in Daguo knowing that those responsible for the crimes of yesteryears and all generals involved in crimes in the past cannot commit those crimes again. We hope the nation can now move on with justice having been served."

Street parties were held on the day of the execution in some places in the country.

Today Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn announced its start of the final leg of the election campaign for 15th Ji 2028. The party announced it would be running on a pro-CoN membership , tougher Anti-Myeongju and free market line. The firsty advert highlighted their commitment to free enterprise and a balance of worker and employer rights. the parties campaign is also focusing on support of public services. Attack ads have already attacked Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de and Shèhuì zhǔyì de saying they would destroy the economy with the "cancer" of big government. The parties responded by attacking the limited welfare policies and trying to potray themselves as parties of the working man though these efforts evidently failed.Current polls are showing:
Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn (Patriotic Conservative Party, party leader Zhou Qing):56%
Shèhuì zhǔyì de(Peoples Party):16%
Zìyóudǎng(Liberal Party):15%
Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de(Communist Party of Daguo):6%
Others/Independent:1%
Many stars such as Bai Xiang Zhou and Zhang Ping Kuang have backed Zhou Qing calling for stability and a pathway to growth to continue Zhang Ping Kuang.Zhang Ping Kuang has announced she will be putting on a benefit concert tour with Wulan Tuoya touring the nations major theatres ,stadiums and concert arenas to raise money for Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn. Lóng Chuánméi 2 has announced it will also cover some of the concerts in live broadcasts as well as other pop and rock gigs as part of its live broadcast programme.

6th December 2027:

Today just one month to go before elections the final reform of the current Imperial Diet has been passed into law. As part of the terms coalition deal Zìyóudǎng had demanded an anti-corruption bill with Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn agreeing in principle. The two parties announced the final law as part of a long series of reforms to get the country ready for membership of international organisations. The new Anti-Corruption Bill of 2028 has outlawed direct payments and gift giving to those in public office as well as making it mandatory to report any gifts or holidays given by corporations to public officials. This move is to combat the previous government culture pre-revolution of giving gifts and holidays to public officials in return for favours or honours. The government today said "This is a new future and after 2 years of working on this bill we are happy we can beat corruption once and for all in our business and politics.We believe the defeat of corruption is vital if we are to avoid damaging trust in both government and contract bidding and to ensure trust in our government systems." The government meanwhile are looking at a slight swing into the polls towards Shèhuì zhǔyì de. The latest polls showed the following support 1 month before the nation goes to the polls.

Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn (Patriotic Conservative Party, party leader Zhou Qing):55%
Shèhuì zhǔyì de(Peoples Party):20%
Zìyóudǎng(Liberal Party):14%
Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de(Communist Party of Daguo):4%
Others/Independent:1%

However the polling still suggests an outright victory for Zhou Qings governing party which has grown in popularity with economic growth, a growing middle class and the rise in the minimum wage.

We will fight hard to bring down the regime and bring the land back to its legitimate owner, Daguo. We will no longer stand for their pathitic antics and be tough on Myeongju."

The results showed the following voter share:

22nd Vernil 2028:

In news this week two major laws passed the Imperial Diet of Daguo. Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn have started to see the fruits of their majority in parliament. The party have started to implement key policies.

Mandatory Death Penalty Act(replacing Capital Punishment act):
This new law makes it mandatory to use the the death penalty for the following crimes:
murder,kidnap, terrorism,corruption, treason,drug dealing,drug smuggling,paedophilia and rape.

The law bans judges from suspending the sentence leaving a pardon from the Emperor or Empress the only option to stop an execution.Something very unlikely as it means there would be no penalty for the crime in that situation. The vote for the law was passed by a significant margin:
Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn (Patriotic Conservative Party, party leader Zhou Qing): Aye:585 Nay:10
Shèhuì zhǔyì de(Peoples Party): Aye:45 Nay:140
Zìyóudǎng(Liberal Party): Aye:0 Nay:87
Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de(Communist Party of Daguo): Aye:0 Nay:3
Aye:630 Nay:240

Consitutional Amendment 2028:
This act changes the voting system in Daguo. The new constitution defines First Past the Post as the future voting system for all elections. The new voting system is expected to benefit Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn as the right wing is unified while totally destroying the chances of left wing parties which are not unified and suffer a vote split. The law guarantees essentially that any new parties will fail. The law is designed to make voting simpler and election counts quicker due to the party with the most votes winning the seat.The vote went as follows:
Àiguó Bǎoshǒu Bùfèn (Patriotic Conservative Party, party leader Zhou Qing): Aye:595 Nay:0
Shèhuì zhǔyì de(Peoples Party): Aye:0 Nay:185
Zìyóudǎng(Liberal Party): Aye:0 Nay:87
Gòngchǎndǎng dàguó de(Communist Party of Daguo): Aye:0 Nay:3
Aye:595 Nay:275

With the required margin being 66% of votes the act passed.

Today the 3rd quarter execution figures were released for the 3rd quarter. The figures showed execution figures and death sentence figures rocketed 45% in the months following the passage Mandatory Death Penalty act with over 60% of new cases being from drugs and corruption. The Daguese praised the figures saying "We are proud to be deterring people from serious crime and getting justice for victims of crime. We will continue to support the reforms which were so drastically needed." In other news today the communist party leader was executed, Róngyù sī Géléi was convicted of corruption in July just after the passage of the new laws. Critics say the execution is politically motivated however the government strongly denies this saying "Anyone guilty of corruption will face the full penalty of the law."
