The incident caused the problem of excessive idolatry once again causing pain in public opinion, forcing the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China to issue a policy to tighten the operation of entertainment TV shows. Idol selection show. The fact that Thanh Xuan had 3 friends could not record the finale, causing the audience to lose all of their previous investment in idols, according to Sina. “Fans don’t spend money, idols have a hard time living” The above statement is okay Chinanews released after “rolling in” all voting methods in idol selection shows broadcast over the past 3 years in China. The newspaper commented that the producer of the idol selection shows is creating a negative phenomenon for society when despite all means to make money from fans. In which, asking fans to buy sponsored brand items to support idols is a common way. Money contributed by fans determines the career of Chinese idols. Recently, to meet the demand to buy votes for male contestants at the show “Youth with Friends 3”, lines specializing in selling black market votes were formed. According to the Xinhua News Agency , more than 270,000 milk bottles were wasted in the sewers, just for the purpose of getting the voting codes below the bottle caps of fans. In 2020, also with this form of buying votes from this milk bottle, Hua Giai Ky’s fanclub spent millions of dollars to help the female idol stay in the top safe, even debuting The9 group in 3rd place. Luu Vu Han’s fans once spent up to $2.1 million to support the female singer during the Youth With You 2 contest. The act of “public cheating” through donating money from fandoms to buy votes takes place a lot, but is not interested by the organizers. Understandably, if fans are willing to spend money and idols benefit, the program and sponsoring partners will also reap significant benefits. At that time, obviously, the artist who has a large fan base and is willing to spend, or has a good family background and invests in children, will survive to the final round and win a debut in the group. Idol. “Whether an idol group is established or not, whether a star’s career in the world is formed or not, is all decided by the money of the fans. Without fans, the title of an idol star is probably won’t exist in China either,” Xinhua News Agency sarcastic comments. Not only do they have to spend money to help their idols win, the fan group also regularly organizes matches to compete with each other in terms of strength and economy. This activity is used to raise money for idol support activities, especially during the time of the survival voting round on shows. Show that idol turns into a money machine According to the Sina , in 2018, thanks to fan support, the show sponsor of Idol Producer is a mineral water brand, which has increased online sales by 500 times. Meanwhile, the P2P platform also added nearly 2 million app downloads. Huge profits from fans, causing producers and sponsors to constantly think of new “tricks” to promote the audience’s economic race. The new way is to turn fans into consumers, turn polls into sales. Idol shows compete to hook up fans’ purses. Photo: Sohu. In the program “Youth With You 3”, there are two milk lines designated by the manufacturer for this year’s vote. The first is the high-end nut milk line that costs nearly 9 USD/box. The second is fruit milk packed into 10 bottles a batch, priced at 10 USD/lot. With type 1, the audience can exchange for 20 points, while type 2 will only be 10 points. Not only indirectly forcing the audience to buy milk, but this form also gives rise to vote speculation. Capturing fan psychology, distribution agents colluded with each other to draw QR codes in milk cartons and hoard them until the final night to sell at high prices. According to the investigation of China Daily , each QR code sold costs from 4-7 USD/piece. On a scanning site that specializes in black market codes, transactions are measured in seconds. The fact that Thanh Xuan has friends 3 was banned from filming the final night, not releasing a new group because it created a negative social phenomenon, leading to money invested in idols of many fan groups completely. “river down river”. The number is estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars, according to Xinhua News Agency . According to the Xinhua News Agency , stimulating consumer demand by taking advantage of fans’ affection, not only causes waste of resources and labor, but also causes young people to form the idea of ​​blindly following idols, regardless of their preferences. mortgage at all costs to make money, including borrowing black credit, doing illegal work. On the afternoon of May 10, the Beijing Radio and Television Administration issued a new directive to control the operation of entertainment TV shows and idol selection shows. In the text, the cultural management agency forbids idol selection shows from setting up a voting method by spending money to buy products and buy votes. This is intentional conduct, cheating when encouraging fans to recharge as members to buy votes for contestants. Image of wasting milk to get the voting code for the contestant. Photo: Sina. It is strictly forbidden for organizations or individuals to take advantage of the methods of “buying votes”, “contributing capital to vote” and conducting falsification of data. The audition shows are not allowed to recruit contestants who have criminal records and bad dignity to avoid having a negative impact on society. It is strictly forbidden for minors to participate in the show, resolutely preventing the producer from taking advantage of and promoting the relatives of famous artists.

With the record-high new Covid-19 cases, a nation of 1.3 billion people needs huge amounts of medical oxygen every day to cater to the treatment of its patients. This has caused a boom in the black market oxygen trade, where only the very rich can afford it, and families desperately looking for oxygen for loved ones with Covid-19 are susceptible to scams. “On the black market, an oxygen tank, which costs between $ 81 and $ 135 depending on size, is currently being pushed up to $ 812 to $ 1,354. This condition is an indirect cause of the death of patients who have no relationship or money, ”said Divyansh Pandey (25 years old) volunteer in the state of Uttar Pradesh, said. Medical oxygen in India has become an expensive commodity due to the soaring cases of Covid-19. Photo: Getty. The average price of a medical oxygen on the black market, about $ 1,080, is higher than the average monthly income of 1% of the country’s richest people. Conventional drugs, which cost $ 67, are now pushed up to $ 810. Pandey has helped dozens of Covid-19 patients find hospital beds, medical oxygen, oxygen generators and essential medicines. Pandey said he was forced to consider the supply from the black market after repeatedly failing to find and buy the items at the original prices. “The saddest thing is that the black market is openly open and hoarders casually sell it on social media. Non-governmental organizations and official sources often distribute these items for free or sell at original prices, but in small quantities and often out of stock quickly, sometimes within an hour. ” Crisis India currently records more than 20 million cases of SARS-CoV-2, more than 220,000 deaths. Experts say the reason for this dire number is the lack of beds and medicine. “When demand is too much and supply is insufficient, we are forced to sell imported oxygen generators for 10 times the price,” said an anonymous supplier at the Delhi black market. According to data submitted by the Indian government to the Supreme Court, the country has three times more medical oxygen than it needs in 12 states, with about 16,000 tons of liquid oxygen to meet the estimated demand of 4,880. tons last week. However, activists point out that the system only monitors hospital resources, not those needed by Covid-19 patients in home isolation. Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that oxygen production has increased 60% to address the crisis, volunteers and suppliers pointed out that problems such as transportation and logistics could hinder the arrival of oxygen cylinders. people’s hands. The price of medical oxygen in the black market has been pushed up many times because of the high demand. Photo: AFP. The lack of oxygen has even made many Indians recklessly experiment with making oxygen at home. At the end of April, many YouTubers posted videos showing people how to make oxygen using easy-to-find sources, available at home. Many of these are new high school students. “We created oxygen in the lab before using electrolysis and easy-to-find chemicals like potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide,” said Kirtharth Tiwari (16), whose video received more than 50,000 views. . Then, Tiwari also made the next video instructing people how to filter oxygen to use, avoiding the risk of an exothermic reaction by using a cold storage bag. “Two people reached out and said that following my instructions worked,” said Rahul Soni, another YouTuber with more than 300,000 video views. However, experts warn against doing such experiments at home because it can lead to dangerous explosions. YouTube has removed both videos for violation of community guidelines. Last week, the Delhi High Court ordered the state government to cut back to stop the proliferation of a “black oxygen” market. However, the situation is still developing complicatedly.

Drug shortages and medical hypoxia in India when the “tsunami” of COVID-19 swept through unintentionally to help the mercenaries, although many volunteers are still trying to support people on Twitter and Instagram. In the eastern Indian city of Patna, Pranay Puji runs from pharmacy to pharmacy looking for remdesivir for his seriously ill mother. The lack of oxygen in Indian hospitals is severe. (Artwork: Times of India) Finally, a pharmacist told him that if he wanted to buy this drug he had to go to the black market. The supply is offered at 100,000 rupees (1,340 USD), 30 times more expensive than the normal price and 3 times the average monthly income of an office worker in India. Punj then got the medicine from a distant relative whose wife just died of COVID-19. But the “nightmare” has only just begun. In the middle of the night, he received a phone call informing the hospital was running out of oxygen, pushing his mother’s situation into a more pressing situation. “A few hours ago, we managed to give my mother a very expensive hospital bed in a private hospital and move her there.” , I said. Similar heartbreaking stories unfold across India. Desperate people went to social media to ask for support with beds, oxygen and medicine. Although “Pharmacy of the world”, Indian drug manufacturers are unable to meet demand for antivirals such as remdesivir and favipiravir. In the northern city of Lucknow, Mr. Ahmed Abbas has just bought a 46-liter oxygen tank for 45,000 rubles ($ 602), nine times more expensive than the normal price. “They told me to pay first and come to them to pick up the goods the next day”, Abbas said. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is being criticized for allowing mass events during the epidemic, said on April 20 that India was “making an effort” to increase supplies of medical goods. “One solution to this crisis is to create a stockpile of antiviral drugs when case numbers are low, but that has not been done.” , Says Raman GaiGaik, infectious disease specialist at Sahyadri Hospital, Pune. The remdesivir manufacturers responded Indian Express Last week the government asked them to stop production from January when the number of infections dropped. As the number of cases increased at a record speed, the Indian government did not take much action while health workers and residents were worried. “My friend is desperate … we tried all the government help lines but no one responded to (and) most of the oxygen providers turned off the phone”, Zain Zaidi, sales manager at a hotel in Lucknow said. “I just found a supplier but he charges 20,000 rupees. I have to buy it no matter what.” The 34-year-old man told AFP in a shocked voice before hanging up. Sheet Times of India reported that the average cost of an oxygen tank has “skyrocketed”, to 20,000 to 25,000 rupees, about 250-330 dollars. The viral advertisement on the oxygen tank costs 30,000 rupees (about 400 USD). Another offered it for 35,000 rupees, about $ 460. According to World Bank data, the gross national income per capita (GNI) in India is $ 2,120 per year. India is not the only country lacking oxygen. The WHO said 25 countries around the world reported a spike in oxygen demand, mainly in Africa. Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Egypt, Nigeria and other countries all reported equipment shortages as the number of COVID-19 cases increased, and more people turned to the black market. According to WHO estimates, more than half a million COVID-19 patients need daily oxygen therapy. That means 1.1 million oxygen cylinders per day.

Oxygen infusion is an important treatment for lethal virus positive patients. However, on April 22, 6 hospitals in India announced this essential item. According to the Indian Express If the country of 1.3 billion people continues to report hundreds of thousands of new cases every day, the demand for medical oxygen cylinders will rise sharply in 12 states of India. The case crisis caused the price of these medical devices to skyrocket. According to the Times of India , to buy an oxygen tank, the buyer has to spend 250–330 USD. Even, many advertisements for selling oxygen cylinders with prices ranging from 400–460 USD appeared rampant on social networks. Share with AFP On April 22, an Indian man said he had to pay $ 600 per bottle of oxygen, which was nine times higher than before the outbreak. According to World Bank data, the total annual income of the people of India is only about $ 2,120. The number of Coivd-19 infections in India has skyrocketed, making the price of medical oxygen cylinders extremely expensive here. Photo: Getty. The World Health Organization (WHO) said that the demand for medical oxygen is skyrocketing in 25 countries around the world, especially Africa. More than half a million patients with Covid-19 require oxygen therapy every day, meaning hospitals need 1.1 million oxygen cylinders to use within 24 hours. Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Egypt, Nigeria and other countries all declared a shortage of oxygen tanks as the number of cases increased. Worth mentioning, families of critical patients are forced to find and buy medical oxygen cylinders on the black market to save their loved ones’ lives. According to the Guardian, in Peru by 2020, the price of an oxygen tank was once pushed up to $ 1,000. In the UK, the Washington Post notes that a woman pays $ 1,300 for an oxygen tank, 1,000% more expensive than usual. According to the New York Times The 7-fold increase in the demand for medical oxygen in Mexico has enabled the black market to thrive. There are disputes and blocking of oxygen vehicles in some places, local reports say. Not long after, the price of medical oxygen cylinders sold on the black market had tripled. Brazil also experiences medical oxygen deficiencies during times of alarming number of cases. In Manaus, a city in Brazil, to buy a 50-liter oxygen tank, families have to pay nearly $ 1,200, 6.5 times more expensive than usual. However, the black market is not the only reason why the price of this medical device soared. Traffic and infrastructure are also factors that make this happen. Medical oxygen is usually produced by factories and cooled during transportation. In developed countries, oxygen is usually transported in a liquid form, making them less space-consuming and saving on transportation costs. However, the underdeveloped countries are only capable of transporting medical oxygen as a gas. Compared to the central hospital in London, hospitals in Kenya and Nigeria have to pay five to ten times more to buy a medical oxygen tank, according to the Press Bureau in the UK. According to the The Times At Mexico’s most difficult times, an oxygen tank cost more than $ 800, 10 times the cost of a US hospital. According to the Indian Express Most states in India have diverted oxygen production. Instead of serving industrial needs like the manufacture of steel, iron and glass, oxygen will be used largely for medical purposes. However, transportation in the country of 1.3 billion people remains a major obstacle. In particular, the centers of medical oxygen production are concentrated mainly in the East, while the demand for this item is increasing in other areas. The logistics costs were padded, pushing the price of an oxygen tank five times, from about $ 5 to $ 26. All India Radio News said the Indian police have been straightforward to prevent the proliferation of the “black oxygen” market. The state government of Uttar Pradesh announced that it would invoke the National Security Act and the Black Society Act to combat these marketing practices. In addition, in response to the crisis, India is planning to import 50,000 tons of medical oxygen. At the same time, the country is also setting up the “Oxygen Express” train to supply states severely affected by the epidemic. This train will depart from the Bokaro steel plant, carrying liquid oxygen. The Indian government has received much criticism for not upgrading its infrastructure from scratch to avoid the current shortages. “We did not plan this shortage even though we knew the second crisis was coming,” Dr. Lalit Kant, an epidemiologist, told the BBC.
