为生动讲述在党的引领下边疆地区发生的翻天覆地的变化，边疆人民用勤劳双手和智慧改变家园、改变命运的新故事，深刻描绘边疆干部群众以实际行动向党的二十大献礼，深情告白“喜迎二十大 奋进新征程”的喜悦之情。    On August 10, 1961, American forces for the first time spayed Agent Orange in Vietnam as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand.,Here’s a closer look into this highly toxic defoliant chemical, the use of which by the US military during the 1955-1975 Vietnam War resulted in up to one million people being disabled, according to the Red Cross of Vietnam’s estimates.,What is Agent Orange?,The defoliant derived its name from the color of the orange-striped US gallon barrels in which the chemical was shipped and stored.,It was created in 1940 and used in the United States as an agricultural defoliant, as it had the ability to kill some plants while leaving others unaffected.,Using the Defense Production Act of 1950, the US government prodded several American companies to make Agent Orange for military use. A 50:50 mixture of the herbicides 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D, the defoliant contains an extremely toxic dioxin compound.,Effects of Agent Orange,A 50:50 mixture of the 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, Agent Orange contains the Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, or TCDD, the most toxic of the dioxins, classified as a human carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency.,Even short-term exposure to TCDD can cause cancer, liver problems and a severe acne-like skin disease, known as chloracne. The dioxin is also linked to type 2 diabetes, immune system dysfunction, nerve disorders, muscular dysfunction, hormone disruption and heart disease.,Additionally, the chemical can cause miscarriages, spina bifida and other problems with fetal brain and nervous system development.,Use of Agent Orange in Vietnam,During the 1955-1975 Vietnam war, the first US defoliation missions were launched near the Vietnamese village of Dak To in 1961.,The goal was to remove cover and concealment used by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army, so as to reveal hidden bases, communications centers and potential targets, and to improve visibility in tracking troop movements.,More than 13 million gallons (about 59 million liters) of Agent Orange was used by the US military in Vietnam, or almost two-thirds of the total amount of herbicides used during the entire Vietnam War.,The chemical was available in slightly different mixtures, sometimes referred to as Agent Orange I, Agent Orange II, Agent Orange III and “Super Orange”.,End of Agent Orange?,In 1969, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) urged the Pentagon to end its use of herbicides containing dioxin, specifically Agent Orange, something that the Department of Defense (DoD) eventually did.,Even so, the defoliation campaign continued, with the US military switching to Agent White, a chemical herbicide that did not contain the dioxin contaminant.,In May 1970, the US Air Force (USAF) flew its last defoliation mission, and almost a year later, the DoD announced that all crop destruction missions would also cease.,The remaining 2.22 million gallons of Agent Orange were moved by the USAF to Johnston Island Atoll in the South Pacific, where they were incinerated.,Legacy,The Vietnamese government said that up to four million people in the country were exposed to Agent Orange, and as many as three million people had suffered illness because of the defoliant.,The Vietnam Red Cross in turn pointed out that the defoliant had affected at least 150,000 children, and that babies in Vietnam are still being born with birth defects due to Agent Orange. In this regard, numerous studies revealed that dioxin levels are still in place in the blood samples of the citizens of both North and South Vietnam.,The chemical also caused immense environmental damage in Vietnam, with more than 3,100,000 hectares (31,000 km2) of forest being defoliated ( for comparison's sake, Taiwan measures 36,197 km2).,Opinion & AnalysisAnniversary of Agent Orange Disaster: Only United Can We Relieve the Suffering of Many Generations10:21 GMT,Agent Orange-related issues also emerged in the US after an increasing number of returning Vietnam veterans and their families began to report a range of health problems, including skin irritations, miscarriages, psychological symptoms, type 2 diabetes, birth defects in children and cancers such as Hodgkin’s disease, prostate cancer and leukemia.,1979 saw a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of 2.4 million US veterans, who were exposed to Agent Orange during their service in Vietnam. In 1984, seven major US chemical companies that manufactured the defoliant agreed to pay $180 million in damages to the veterans or their next of kin.,Vietnam War,The 1955-1975 Vietnam War, which involved Laos and Cambodia, pitted communist North Vietnam and the Viet Cong revolutionary organization against South Vietnam, supported by Washington.,Preconditions for the war pertained to the desire of North Vietnam, which defeated the French colonial administration in 1954, to unify the entire country under a single communist authority, like in the Soviet Union or China. The South Vietnamese government, for its part, sought to preserve a Vietnam more closely aligned with the West.,The US was concerned over the spread of communism to South Vietnam and then to the rest of Asia, which prompted Washington to end money, supplies and military advisers to help the South Vietnamese government.,On August 2, 1964, North Vietnamese boats attacked a US Navy destroyer, the USS Maddox, patrolling in the Gulf of Tonkin near Vietnam, in what was used by the White House as a pretext to escalate the war and send American combat units to the South East Asian country. However, the US costs and casualties in the war prompted Washington to withdraw American troops by 1973, and a couple of years later, South Vietnam fell to a full-scale invasion by the North.,An array of war crimes was committed by the US military during the war, including the My Lai massacre, in which up to 504 unarmed South Vietnamese civilians, including women, children, and infants, were killed by US Army soldiers on March 16, 1968.,Another war crime pertains to Operation Speedy Express, conducted by the US Army in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta between December 1968 and May 1969 as part of the American military’s effort to pacify the Viet Cong. The operation led to 5,000 to 7,000 casualties who were reported to have been civilians.。在云南、内蒙古、辽宁、吉林、黑龙江、广西、西藏、新疆8省区党委网信办指导下，云报客户端策划并联动8个沿边省区主流媒体，联合推出融媒体联动产品《8省区网媒大联动·我在边疆望北京》。今天一起来看第二期：“改革创新共奋进”。广西和云南同属西部省区云南依山，广西傍海两地山水相连、人脉相通、人文相亲满怀开放合作的热情大胆试、大胆闯、自主改携手逐梦奔向美好未来自由贸易试验区是中国对外开放、构建新发展格局的重要平台。在沿边地区布局自贸试验区，目的是要通过在更大范围、更广领域、更多层次差别化探索，开展对比试验、互补试验，激发高质量发展的内生动力，更好服务于对外开放总体战略布局。作为我国首次在沿边布局的两个自贸试验区，2019年8月，云南和广西这两个自贸试验区同时获批。三年来，两地通过改革创新助推沿边开放，辐射带动沿边发展，为中国进一步密切同周边国家经贸合作、提升沿边地区开放开发水平，提供可复制、可借鉴的改革经验。

B | 自贸试验区的生命力就是制度创新。三年来，中国（广西）自由贸易试验区（以下简称广西自贸试验区）以制度创新为核心，先后形成两批共84项自治区级制度创新成果并在全区复制推广。位于广西自贸试验区钦州港片区的广西金桂浆纸业有限公司厂区内，各式各样的机器正开足马力生产，场面一片火热。“造纸所需的部分原材料木浆需从东南亚进口，‘船边直提、抵港直装’为我们快速补充原材料、 扩大生产提供了保障。

C | ”公司物流部关务负责人周菊说，今年上半年，公司白卡纸产量达110.18万吨，同比增长89%。“船边直提、抵港直装”是钦州港片区的一项便利化创新举措，可实现港口货物在船舱和工厂间的快速衔接，既节省通关时间，又降低了企业物流成本。大胆改革，勇于创新。广西自贸试验区“跨境人民币使用改革创新”入选全国自贸试验区第四批“最佳实践案例”，“广西边民互市贸易集成改革”等累计7项创新举措获海关总署批复备案，在全国海关稳居前列。创新实施“负面清单”式放权，广西成为继山东之后全国第二个在自贸试验区实施“负面清单”式放权的省区。全面落实545项“证照分离”改革任务。持续推动商事制度改革深化，基本实现“一窗受理、一网通办、一事通办”。作为辐射中心建设的重要开放平台之一，中国（云南）自由贸易试验区（以下简称云南自贸试验区）自挂牌成立以来，对标总体方案和实施方案明确的改革试点任务，云南自贸试验区共形成276项制度创新成果，其中上报国家84项、46项省内复制推广、属沿边跨境特色53项、属全国首创46项。

D | “边境地区涉外矛盾纠纷多元处理机制”成功入选“全国自由贸易试验区第四批最佳实践案例”向全国复制推广，“面向南亚东南亚跨境电力交易平台”由国务院自由贸易试验区工作部际联席会议简报通报推广，为自贸开放提供了云南经验。在昆明片区综合服务中心24小时自助服务区，办事人员只要刷身份证，就可以自助办理打印营业执照、领取发票、社保费代扣代缴等148项业务，十分高效便捷。昆明片区综合服务中心负责人何锐说，昆明片区的政务服务可以实现“一窗受理、一网通办、一次办成”，并创新“零见面”审批模式，建成了“24小时不打烊”自助服务区。

E | 营商环境直接影响改革创新速度和成效，云南自贸试验区着力构建亲清政商关系，建立常态化、全覆盖服务企业机制，建立营商环境“红黑榜”和政务服务“好差评”制度，致力消除市场准入障碍。同时，还成立公共法律服务中心，让法律服务“应驻尽驻”“应上尽上”。和昆明片区一样，红河、德宏两片区也积极转变政府职能，让企业和群众受惠。

F | 红河片区成立首家边境贸易服务中心，落地货物贸易外汇收支便利化改革试点。

G | 德宏片区行政审批事项全部“网上办”，创新外籍人员服务管理，推出“胞波卡”，为外籍务工人员提供高效便捷服务。在钦州港码头，伴随着吊机的轰鸣声，集装箱平稳起落，堆场里作业车往来不绝。在距离码头不远处的钦州铁路集装箱中心站港口作业区内，装运车辆有序进出，各式各样的货物搭乘海铁联运班列经西部陆海新通道南来北往、出山入海。

H | 广西自贸试验区钦州港片区以西部陆海新通道建设为牵引，积极建设面向东盟的国际大通道。

I | 2022年上半年西部陆海新通道海铁联运班列开行4132列，同比增长42%。广西自贸试验区钦州港片区管委副主任莫福文介绍，钦州港“朋友圈”日益扩大，目前已累计开通内外贸集装箱航线65条，通达全球100多个国家和地区的200多个港口。今年上半年累计完成港口吞吐量8338.5万吨，同比增长4.1%；集装箱吞吐量240.5万标箱，同比增长20.4%。2022年8月底，昆明市托管磨憨镇托管移交工作已全部完成。昆明托管磨憨以后，成为了全国唯一一座有“边境线”的省会城市，优势凸显。

J | 几个月来，不断有上海、深圳、四川、重庆等地的大型企业找到中劲公司洽谈合作事宜。中劲公司负责人说，这些企业都希望能够搭上昆明托管磨憨共同建设国际口岸城市的“东风”。成立三年来，云南自贸试验区拓班列、优航线，多式联运能力不断提高，物流产业蓬勃发展。抢抓中老铁路开通新机遇，实现新突破。中老铁路通车运营8个多月来，“黄金线路”作用不断彰显。截至8月27日，累计开行国际货运列车1808列，货运量118.5万吨，货运总值近百亿元。中老铁路不仅架起了中国从陆上通往中南半岛国家的便捷桥梁，畅通了中国与南亚东南亚国家间经贸往来和合作，同时，也实现了中老铁路、中欧班列、西部陆海新通道互联互通，为畅通东盟与欧洲、东盟与日韩经贸往来提供了一条全新的大通道。“自贸试验区设立后，为东南亚水果对华出口创造更多机会。”广西运多多供应链管理有限责任公司总裁王正波称，东南亚水果的输华目录进一步扩大，中国的老百姓可享受到品种更丰富、更新鲜的东南亚水果。

K | 自贸试验区的红利也助推了跨境物流业务和跨境供应链业务量的增长。“现在我们每年进出口车辆超2万多车，在电子产品进出口方面，每天平均货值都超过1亿元人民币。”王正波说。云南省德宏州瑞丽市与缅甸山水相连，其中的瑞丽口岸，是中缅最大陆路口岸。中国（云南）自由贸易试验区德宏片区（以下简称德宏片区）挂牌成立，为瑞丽发展带来新的机遇。然而由于疫情原因，进出口贸易受到影响。遇此困境，在国家税收政策助力下，瑞丽市推出“组合礼包”，助企纾困，推动地方经济发展。美诺塑胶是一家从事生产制造保温壶的企业，产品主要出口缅甸。受疫情影响，口岸不能正常通关，公司面临货物积压、订单取消、运输成本增加等多重困难。美诺塑胶财务负责人说，今年以来，该公司已享受“双退税”(出口退税、留抵退税)80余万元。

L | “叠加的政策红利对稳定士气、振奋信心真的很及时。”数据显示，今年4月1日至7月20日，德宏片区已有4.8亿元增值税留抵退税款退到纳税人账户。

M | “我们将结合企业需求和期望，主动问需，持续释放机构改革红利，为企业‘活血通络’，进而推动地方经济发展。”瑞丽市税务部门相关负责人说。2021年9月10日，广西自贸试验区与云南自贸试验区在广西南宁签署《沿边自由贸易试验区协同制度创新框架协议》。框架协议的签署，进一步促进了双方因地制宜、协同合作，聚焦重点领域，共同开展创新探索，为我国沿边自贸试验区的开放发展积累更多经验，更有力服务国家战略，更好融入新发展格局。“滇”石成金“桂”在坚持抢抓自贸新机遇繁荣边疆新跨越云南、广西同在祖国西南边陲山海相挽，共望北京党的光辉照边疆，边疆人民心向党联合指导云南省委网信办内蒙古自治区党委网信办辽宁省委网信办吉林省委网信办 黑龙江省委网信办广西壮族自治区党委网信办 西藏自治区党委网信办新疆维吾尔自治区党委网信办联合出品云南日报报业集团·云报客户端 云南日报报业集团·云南号活力内蒙古 东北新闻网 北斗融媒客户端中国吉林网 吉林网络广播电视台 · 吉视通客户端黑龙江网广西日报·广西云客户端 广西新闻网 广西广播电视台移动客户端广西视听 广西网络广播电视台西藏日报·西藏日报客户端 西藏广播电视台·珠峰云客户端新疆广播电视台·丝路视听客户端制作单位云南日报报业集团云报客户端云南省媒体融合重点实验室融媒体精品制作室联动推广人民日报·全国党媒平台 湖北广电·长江云 四川日报·川观新闻贵州日报·天眼新闻 甘肃日报·新甘肃广西日报·广西云  贵州日报·当代先锋网安徽日报·安徽日报客户端 青海日报·青海日报客户端江西广播电视台·今视频 湖南日报·三湘都市报 湖南日报·犇视频 湖南·红网天津·津云 西藏广播电视台·西藏卫视重庆广电·第1眼新闻 北京网络广播电视台·北京时间湖南广电·芒果云 浙江广电·中国蓝新闻  河南广电·大象新闻 山东广电·闪电新闻黑龙江广电·极光新闻 江苏广电·荔枝新闻吉林广电·吉视通 东莞广电·东莞广播电视台海南广电·视听海南 海南广电·三沙卫视湖北广电·湖北卫视（以上排名不分先后）
