Rapid stabilization of foreign trade exports (building a new development pattern and looking at foreign trade on the first line)

Cartography: Wang Zheping

Core reading

In 2020, China’s foreign trade will overcome the adverse effects of the epidemic, and it is expected to achieve the goal of "promoting stability and improving quality" throughout the year, showing that China’s economy is full of resilience.

In Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, a number of local policies have been issued to support foreign trade enterprises to protect orders and expand the market, so as to promote the rapid stabilization of exports. From here, we can see that the national foreign trade continues to develop well.

This New Year’s Day, Xie Yong, a Zhejiang foreign trade dealer, has been working overtime.

"The foreign trade list has been scheduled for March and April, and foreign customers have been calling these days, busy!" As the distributor responsible for the product sales of Zhejiang Taizhou Zhengli Electric Co., Ltd., Xie Yong obviously felt that the foreign trade export was rapidly stabilizing.

At present, in Taizhou, Xie Yong is not the only dealer who is rushing around. According to the recent statistics of Taizhou Customs, in the first three quarters of 2020, the export growth rate of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in Taizhou (export scale below 100 million yuan) was -20.3%, 0.6% and 1.9% respectively. After a sharp decline in the first quarter, it stopped falling and stabilized in the second quarter, and it has steadily rebounded in the third quarter. In November, it hit a new high in export volume and growth rate in 2020-8.99 billion yuan, an increase of 49.6%.

Orders grew rapidly and foreign trade continued to improve.

While going to the production workshop to keep an eye on the progress, we have to contact foreign agents to inform the progress of the order. Recently, the agent responsible for the sales of automobile shock absorbers in Sanmen County, Taizhou City has been very busy on behalf of the Red Army. Every two or three days, foreign dealers contact Dai Hongjun by email or video, asking him to feedback the market customer demand.

"We have distributors in more than 100 countries and regions such as Europe and America. In order to let them know the production situation of orders for the first time, the company specially opened a 24-hour service hotline to provide order inquiry service." Dai Hongjun told reporters, "Since July 2020, foreign trade orders of enterprises have increased. Since August, it has basically maintained a growth rate of about 50% every month! Now, the order we received has been scheduled for several months. "

Haiyao Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. is located in Yuanqiao Town, huangyan district, specializing in holiday gifts and home accessories. Zheng Jing, foreign trade business manager of the enterprise, said: "Since July and August last year, old customers have started to place orders at the end of next year. In the past few months, the list has reached the first and second quarters of 2021. "

During the interview, many dealers said: Based on the sales performance of the whole year in 2020, the recovery of foreign trade at the end of the year has made up for the decline in performance at the beginning of the year. "As far as the situation of the whole year is concerned, it is basically the same as in previous years." For the rapid recovery of foreign trade business, dealers believe that the overall situation should be attributed to factors such as significant achievements in domestic epidemic prevention and control and rapid resumption of work and production.

The number of bank loans to foreign trade enterprises is a barometer reflecting the foreign trade situation. It is understood that in recent months, Taizhou Office of Zhejiang Rural Credit Cooperatives has issued loans exceeding 3.6 billion yuan to foreign trade enterprises in the city. Jin Shijiang, the main person in charge of Taizhou office, said: "Recently, the financing needs of many enterprises and distributors are soaring, and we have launched the’ GATT loan’ business. Dealers can use the export declaration form as the basis for loans, and many dealers are very enthusiastic about applying."

Introduce a combination policy to help enterprises guarantee orders.

In the past six months, the biggest feeling of Li Yi, the dealer, is the change in the way of business negotiation. In the past, Li often flew in the sky, talked face to face with customers everywhere, and then finalized the contract order. Now, his way of negotiation has changed from offline to online, and business negotiations are conducted through the Internet. "Online interviews are convenient, fast and sincere."

What benefits Li is the "internet plus Foreign Trade" model recently explored by Taizhou. Taizhou helps foreign trade enterprises to expand the market and grab orders by means of "cloud display", "cloud negotiation" and "cloud docking", and reduces the impact of the epidemic on all aspects of distribution. In 2020, Taizhou organized 47 online exhibitions and established Taizhou’s "Cloud Exhibition" platform. At present, it has settled in more than 600 enterprises, creating a comprehensive exhibition platform integrating regional brand promotion, global procurement and online negotiation.

In addition to making good use of the new format and new model, Taizhou has successively launched a set of measures to stabilize foreign trade.

Taizhou has established a special coordination mechanism and set up a special export class to co-ordinate all work related to export. Recently, a number of local measures have been introduced to boost the development of foreign trade from the aspects of smooth sales, optimized customs clearance and credit guarantee support. The governments of counties (cities, districts) in Taizhou jointly set up a unified government insurance platform for small and micro enterprises. As long as enterprises or distributors are insured by policy-based export credit insurance companies, they can enjoy a discount of more than 30% of the insurance premium rate during the insurance policy in 2020.

In terms of financial support, how is Taizhou implemented? The reporter learned from Taizhou Central Sub-branch of the People’s Bank of China that from the "extension of loans to small and medium-sized enterprises" to the implementation of the credit loan support plan, Taizhou has issued loans of 48.348 billion yuan to 1069 small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in 2020. In the efficiency of bank loan review, give full play to the advantage of "document cross-verification" of blockchain, and speed up from the previous 3 to 7 days to 1 day, greatly improving the financing convenience of foreign trade enterprises.

Stop falling, stabilize and rebound … With the support of a series of policies to stabilize foreign trade, the export growth rate of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in Taizhou turned positive for the first time in June 2020, which opened the prelude to the rapid recovery of foreign trade throughout the year.

Listen to the demands of enterprises and solve problems on the spot.

"There are many foreign trade orders, and the liquidity of purchasing pumps from suppliers is not enough." In Daxi Town, Wenling City, Chen Lubin, the head of Taizhou Fanglianbao Import and Export Co., Ltd., has been engaged in water pump distribution for more than 10 years. Recently, foreign trade has picked up, and the export volume has soared, which makes him feel the pressure of funds.

A few days ago, when Chen Lubin was worried, Xie Jun, the account manager of Wenling Sub-branch of Agricultural Bank of China, who was carrying out the activity of "serving enterprises, serving the masses and serving the grassroots" (referred to as "three services" activity), came to the company. Knowing the difficulties of enterprises, Wenling Branch of Agricultural Bank of China provided 1 million yuan of low-interest loans to enterprises to solve Chen Lubin’s urgent needs.

"Point-to-point" to carry out "three services" to help foreign trade pick up. At present, all departments in Taizhou are solidly providing services to foreign trade enterprises and foreign trade distributors.

In Jiaojiang District, district leaders recently visited a number of enterprises, talked with business owners and distributors, and worked on the spot to solve problems. Some dealers said: "Recently, the export growth rate of enterprises’ products is fast, but the containers used for transportation are relatively tight." After the question was raised, it was settled through consultation on the spot.

"The current’ three services’ work is very timely, like a pillow when we are sleepy!" In the interview, Zhu Xuanhui, the general manager of Zhejiang Kende Electromechanical Co., Ltd. in luqiao district, was recognized by the entrepreneurs present. Many business owners and distributors said that because various problems in distribution were solved in the "three services", the goods could be exported smoothly, which played a boosting role in the recent recovery of foreign trade.

What other local measures will be taken to promote the continued recovery of foreign trade? The person in charge of Taizhou Municipal Committee said that in the next step, we will continue to strengthen the operation mechanism of foreign trade export special classes and deepen the "three services". While making full use of various policy tools and making policies effective, we will continue to deepen trade support and help enterprises avoid trade risks and promote the steady and good development of foreign trade.

In the Long Farewell to Amazon Rainforest, Animal Protector’s "Fifty Steps and Hundred Steps"

Xiaonan heard that this winter is very cold, but Xiaonan is still very lucky, not only active in warm areas, but also talking with animals all the time! Love! Love (Xiao Nan is by no means a single bird! ), hugging little lions in South Africa, hooking up with slow sloths in the Amazon rainforest, and going deep into the forests of Indonesia to find orangutans. ……

However, many things are not as simple as imagined, just as even the best couples still have misunderstandings and contradictions with each other. As a common good friend of animals and human beings, Xiaonan often faces the question of "stepping on two boats with one foot".

-For example, in the Amazon rainforest, Xiaonan found many things, which are much more complicated than expected. If you don’t believe me, you can see how Mr. Huang, who is with Xiao Nan, "struggles internally" in the following article.

Wen Miao Huang Hongxiang

"This is not the real Amazon rainforest. Look around, there are low shrubs and tall trees have disappeared. "

With the roar of the motor of the small wooden boat and the agitation of the Amazon river, pointing to the "forest" on both sides of the strait that tourists are moved by, our orientation has made us sigh like this. He has been to the depths of the Amazon river basin, where the trees are towering, and the banks can see flying macaws and drinking leopards.

In our location, around Iquidos, the capital city of the Amazon rainforest region in Peru, such forests and animals no longer exist because of logging and human activities.

Trees along the Amazon River are no longer "towering" | Huang Hongxiang 

The indigenous people here have also lived a modern life. They will only take off their clothes when tourists arrive and perform the gesture of "primitive tribe". After work, they will put on T-shirts to watch TV and soak in bars.

Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest with the richest biodiversity in the world. It is called the lung of the earth. 60% of this rainforest is in Brazil and 13% in Peru. From Peru’s point of view, 60% of the country is Amazon rainforest.

It is saying goodbye to us: the rainforest is disappearing rapidly because of various reasons such as timber industry, oil exploitation, road development and rubber planting; River water has been polluted more and more because of mining and chemical industry. A large number of wildlife smugglers grab wild animals from the forest and sell them to zoos and local tyrants all over the world.

Of course, on the way to say goodbye, the rainforest is not without some struggles, even if it is twisted and wriggling, not too elegant. And this may also be the epitome of the global animal protection and environmental protection.

Eco-tourism: disturbing animals or keeping them at gunpoint?

Trying to tear off Teman’s Goma map | Huang Hongxiang

Goma leaned the wooden boat against the shore, struggled to pull a rich vine three or four meters high among the trees, and finally pulled it off.

"See the sloth’s face?" Goma pointed to the sloth that was exposed because the cover was torn off and began to crawl higher slowly, and smiled at us innocently.

Silhouette of "Exposed" sloth | Huang Hongxiang

Goma is the local guide of a leading travel agency on an internationally renowned travel platform, and this company takes "responsible travel" as its publicity highlight.

During the three-day and two-night trip, he dutifully helped tourists to see as many animals as possible at close range and gain a deeper and three-dimensional jungle experience: he would feed bananas to wild monkeys with long wooden poles, so that they could come to the branches and leaves of the river bank from the high treetops;

He will grab the small caiman in the water with his bare hands during the night flight and take photos for tourists. He will also help tourists catch piranhas and bring them back to the camp to become the food of the guests.

Follow Goma to catch small crocodiles at night | Huang Hongxiang

Seeing the palm-sized piranha being strung on a stick and its mouth moving, I felt a little uncomfortable. I remembered the experience of another ecological trip in Ecuador six years ago: the guide caught piranha, took pictures of us and then threw it back into the water.

At that time, I wondered whether these fish could survive even if they were put back into the water, and whether this kind of eco-tourism that would bring harm to wild animals was "ecological" enough, or compared with the "pot calling the kettle black" that directly hunted animals.

At that time, I desperately wanted to maximize the interests of animals. Therefore, in my critical eyes, eco-tourism is not good enough. The most "ecological" way should be that humans should never set foot in this rainforest. Otherwise, even the floating gasoline on the river brought by ships, the huge roar of motors and the activities when tourists approach may be disturbing animals.

Compared with the trip in Ecuador, I saw a series of great disturbances to animals, and my doubts were even stronger this time.

Will the initial intention of eco-tourism be gradually forgotten in commercialization, or are we slipping from "fifty steps" to "one hundred steps" unconsciously?

I returned to Iquidos from the jungle with doubts and met the hospitable boss in a Chinese restaurant. He told us that the Chinese bought a lot of jaguar teeth here. It is illegal for Chinese to hunt jaguars, so they just tell the aborigines who have the right to hunt legally that they are willing to buy them, and the aborigines will hunt them.

In the past, the aborigines only killed jaguars when they were threatened, and the amount of hunting was very small, maybe one or two a year. Today, however, nearly 100 leopards in this area have become tiger teeth in the hands of Chinese to ward off evil spirits and tiger whips to strengthen yang every year. In a few years, the jaguar tooth has changed from a few sols (one sol is about two yuan) to a few hundred or even thousands of sols.

"The number is getting smaller and smaller," local hunters will sigh. Then they stepped up hunting, because "staying there will be killed by others and the money will be earned by others."

"We used to kill a lot of monkeys, tigers and cats and other animals here. Today, because of tourism, we kill a lot less. After all, we can make money by showing tourists." Goma told us.

In his village, because of the eco-hotel where he works, the income of villagers increases every year. In order to please tourists, the aborigines have to say that they are disturbing wild animals on a scale different from that of hundreds of years ago, but at least they are no longer hunting wild animals.

Breeding and export of wild animals

Turning animals into playthings or replacing illegal capture?

Brother Yu counted the capybara in the yard and proudly told us that he exported 80% of the legal capybara in China Zoo and Mengchong Paradise.

Interactive picture of capybara between Zhongnanwu students and Yuge’s family | Huang Hongxiang

Yuge, from Shanghai, is in his forties this year. He runs the top three local animal export companies in Iquidos, Peru. What he has done is to export all kinds of capybara, monkeys, macaws, reptiles and tropical fish from the Amazon rainforest to China Zoo and Mengchong Paradise. His family has a long-tailed tiger cat, a wild animal with beautiful fur in the Amazon rainforest.

Holding brother Yu’s long-tailed tiger cat

Zoos, cute pet parks and animal trade are sensitive topics for international animal protectors today. A few years ago, Zimbabwe sold a batch of baby elephants to China Zoo. Although it was legal, it still attracted many people’s criticism. It is criticized by many people to take the elephant away from his parents and send it to other distant villages for people to enjoy, but it is easy to die in the process.

"Boycott zoos, aquariums, contact with animals and taking photos with animals" is the political correctness of many environmentalists today.

But is it really that simple?

According to Yu Ge, their animal sources must be legal: they were seized from poachers, or they were rescued wild animals that could not be released. After getting these animals, they will breed and export their offspring. These animals have a strict numbering and recording system, and the legal export of an animal takes up to half a year.

Faced with the demand for animals from zoos and even private buyers all over the world, such a system is bound to be in short supply. Brother Yu knew an American who was in Iquidos and focused on raising snakes. He had an extremely rare jade tree, and after waiting for 20 years, he could not find another one to pair with, so it was hard to say when he could breed.

Even so, he refused to buy jadeite trees from illegal sources.

Therefore, in fact, there is a large amount of illegal animal trade today: smugglers directly buy wild animals from local people and smuggle them around the world. The price of such animals may be a fraction of that of legal animals, and the delivery cycle is very short, so it can be delivered quickly.

Wildlife trade is the third largest illegal trade in the world after drugs and guns.

Different from drugs, the punishment of animal trade is still very light in many countries today, and it can often be fined. Smugglers are the least afraid of fines-an animal can be bought for hundreds of dollars in its place of origin, and it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars or more in China. It’s no big deal to smuggle ten times and get caught several times.

"Today, China is the largest market for wildlife in the world, and a large number of wildlife are smuggled in the China market." Brother Yu told us that in fact, legal animal traders are on the opposite side of illegal animal traders-although no animal protection organization has ever cooperated with him to fight.

Many animal protection organizations and their sponsors are afraid of being seen standing with controversial people, even if cooperation can better protect animals.

Today, many animal breeding, traders and breeding bases have become white washing places for poaching animals. Brother Yu said that he didn’t do those illegal things, but only bred wild animals legally and sent them to zoos and cute pet parks to get close to people and play.

Not to mention whether it is really legal will be questioned, even if it is legal, because of many problems such as animal trafficking, contact, photo taking, etc., the business itself is also condemned.

How high a threshold should we set for animal protection?

As an investigator of international wildlife products trade, and as an educator concerned about animal protection and nature education, many people have asked me many questions about zoos, animal trade, animal contact and animal protection.

I always say that these things are very complicated and difficult to sum up in one word, and it is best not to let your existing prejudices stop you from hearing different voices.

Many people always like to see people and things from a black-and-white perspective: those who buy and sell ivory are heinous criminals; It is inhuman to take tourists hunting; Close contact with wild animals is to turn animals into playthings.

Photo taken with a sloth of a family in Amazon rainforest | sherry

I don’t support these behaviors, but after seeing the complicated aspects of the world, I am worried about oversimplifying judgment.

The world is not black and white, and we need to remember more that what we see may not be all. We need to listen more to what we don’t hear and understand people and things we don’t understand-especially when we want to find a solution to the problem instead of just "condemning" ourselves.

Smith, a friend of mine in South Africa, is engaged in "volunteer tourism". Every year, he sends a large number of volunteers from all over the world to a big cat base to get in close contact with several lions in the base. Those lions lost their ability to return to the wild because they were taken away by poachers and sold to zoos or rich people’s homes, and became pet lions accustomed to living with people, even after being rescued.

Many people attacked him, thinking that what he did violated the rules of animal protection-wild animals should not be in close contact with people and become pets and playthings.

Smith, who considers himself an animal protector, is very wronged:

"In a perfect world, people and wild animals should certainly not be in close contact. But the world is not perfect. Humans are constantly destroying the habitats of animals and hunting them. In this case, these individual animals have been unable to return to the wild for various reasons. Why can’t they interact with people on the premise of their comfortable life and play a certain educational role, so as to cultivate people’s love for animals, especially those who don’t like animals that much? Today, you don’t let people who don’t like animals themselves touch animals, saying that it violates animal protection ethics, but one day he may directly hunt animals or take away their habitats! "

Interview with Smith and park staff in South Africa

Smith called these animal protectionists Purist. These people live in their own world, have a lot of "should", speak a lot of terms, and judge others with these moral superiority, but they don’t realize that those who participate in their activities and recognize their propaganda are not those who would buy illegal animal products and hurt animals. They have long been separated from the public who really decide the fate of many animals in the world.

"They feel good about themselves, but they don’t really contribute much, because they just move in their own small circle."

Smith feels that every year, for various reasons, including the reason that it is not particularly "correct" to take photos with lions, international visitors who come to South Africa gradually like animals and develop the concept of animal protection in the project, which is a real contribution.

"People who feel that there is something wrong with my project, please come to investigate in person to understand the specific situation. If there is any problem, please report it. Don’t come and have never been here. If you don’t investigate, you will be self-righteous."

He was a little angry with an American woman who tirelessly "reminded" everyone not to go to his project on facebook, because the American woman who said that their project was not good at all had never been to their base for investigation, or even to South Africa.

What Smith said resonated in my heart.

In the past few years, especially in the investigation, I have come into contact with too many people who are completely different from the "animal protectionists": they don’t like animals, don’t care about animal protection, and turn a blind eye to or even hate the education of various animal protection organizations. Therefore, the propaganda and education of animal protection organizations can’t touch them, but they are directly related to many behaviors that bring harm to animals and the environment.

In order to let them enter the world of animal protection, we may need to provide a low enough threshold-sometimes, the activities that can attract them are to feed the baby elephant, kiss the giraffe and take a walk with the lion.

Students walking with the little lion KAI Figure | Wang Zhen

Of course, a certain degree of guidance and education is needed in this process, and there are still many precautions in these activities, but at least, they came to us and gave us a chance to talk to them.

In the field of animal protection, today I have seen too many condemnations about zoos, contact with animals and taking photos with animals. However, I can’t deny my past:

When I was a very young child, it was precisely because my grandfather took me to the small zoo in my hometown where animals were kept in a small space every day and went to Mengchong Paradise to get in touch with all kinds of animals that I gradually became so fond of animals. If traced back, it may be the source of my ivory investigation, the establishment of Zhongnan House and my continued active work in animal protection.

Many western animal protectionists will tell me that people should go directly to Africa and South America to see wild animals, and zoos should not exist at all.

The truth seems right, but the question is, how many people have such economic strength and opportunities?

If such a small zoo and a cute pet paradise didn’t exist according to the wishes of Purist, I probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to get in touch with those animals and like them like those rich children living in developed areas.

It is definitely wrong to disturb wild animals, but when I hold a sloth, its body temperature makes me really feel warm and heart-warming, which is beyond my reach; It is probably wrong to turn wild animals into playthings, but when touching capybara, I really feel more impulse to protect these lovely animals.

Walking with elephants | Zhou Yuecheng

In wildlife protection, if zero step is to keep human beings completely away from the world of wildlife, what is the first step for the zoo to trade with legal animals? What is the first step to disturb the tourism of wild animals to some extent? What is the first step to play with the raised wild animals? What’s the first step in legal hunting? What is the next step in the illegal wildlife trade and mass killing of wildlife? In an imperfect world, if we can’t stop at all, where should we stop?

I haven’t been able to form an answer yet, and I don’t want to form an answer so soon, because the world is not black and white, and I still have too much to learn and understand humbly.

The plane climbed slowly, watching the Amazon jungle that I dreamed of when I was a child gradually go away, and I couldn’t help but get lost in thought about all kinds of contradictions. I also know that there is not much time left for us to meditate. Farewell, even if it is long, the Amazon rainforest is actually leaving us-maybe once she turns around, she just disappeared while waving.

(The original title of this article is Fifty Steps and Hundred Steps of "Animal Protectors" in the Long Farewell to Amazon Rainforest, which was originally published in WeChat official account, Zhongnan House, to help China youth enter developing countries.)

Huibo Company loaned 7.2 billion yuan? Nanning official: There is no actual loan of 7.2 billion yuan.

  On May 23, Nanning held a press conference to respond to the recent complaints from the general public and netizens about the high standard of road parking fees, unreasonable delineation of parking spaces and chaotic charging.

  Hou Gang, deputy secretary of the Nanning Municipal Party Committee and mayor, said at the meeting that during this period, some citizens and netizens have reflected the problems of high road parking fees, unreasonable parking spaces and chaotic charges in our city, and made criticisms on our urban management work, which fully shows that everyone really loves Nanning, and it also shows that there are obvious shortcomings and deficiencies in our work in this regard. As the mayor of Nanning, I have a responsibility, because the government’s work is not done in place, which has brought inconvenience and influence to everyone’s work and life. These days, I feel deeply uneasy and blame myself. Here, on behalf of the municipal government, I would like to express my deep review and deep apologies to the general public.

  All along, Nanning’s economic and social development has been concerned and helped by the people of the whole country, and has been actively participated and strongly supported by all citizens. It is precisely because of everyone’s concern and love for this city that the city of Nanning keeps growing and making progress. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you.

  We attach great importance to the criticisms and opinions put forward by the general public and netizens, reflect deeply, act immediately, carry out relevant work, and rectify while finding problems. Today, we hold a press conference here to inform you about the relevant situation since this time.

  Nanning has taken work measures:

  The first is to further understand the public’s demands.Nanning organized nine research groups, led by leaders of Nanning, to go deep into the surrounding areas such as farmers’ markets, schools, supermarkets, small restaurants and residential quarters, to learn about the parking fees and management of urban roads on the spot, and to listen to the opinions and suggestions of citizens on parking space setting, optimizing and adjusting parking fees and improving the management service level. At the same time, through online means such as the 12345 mayor hotline and the portal website of the industry authorities, the channels for the masses to reflect their demands will be further unblocked. Nanning has set up a leading group for special work, and started the related work of soliciting opinions, price investigation and price hearing in an all-round way.

  The second is to optimize road parking measures to facilitate the people and benefit the people.The price adjustment of urban road parking spaces is a major administrative decision. According to the law, the adjustment needs to go through legal procedures, and it will take some time for it to be formally implemented. According to the opinions reflected by the masses, Nanning adopted two transitional measures to establish and reform. First, adjust the free parking time of road parking spaces. According to the survey, citizens and friends understand parking charges, but generally hope to eat a bowl of powder for free. After research, from today, the free parking time of motor vehicles in road berths will be extended from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. On the one hand, it can not only "stop quickly and go quickly" to improve the use efficiency of limited parking spaces. On the other hand, it can meet the public’s time requirement of "eating a bowl of powder". Second, optimize the setting of road parking spaces. In areas with high parking demand, such as primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, etc., reasonable limited-time free parking spaces will be added. These two measures will expire when the new "Nanning Road Parking Parking Parking Service Charging Scheme" is implemented.

  The third is to cancel the non-motor vehicle storage service fee.According to the problem of charging storage fees for non-motor vehicles strongly reflected by the masses in the survey, Nanning decided to cancel the existing parking storage service fees for non-motor vehicle parking areas from today, but continue to provide storage services, and the relevant expenses arising therefrom will be borne by the government.

  The fourth is to send an audit team to Huibo Company to carry out the audit.From May 21st to June 15th, the audit team conducted a special audit investigation on the operation and management of urban road parking spaces. During the audit, you are welcome to send letters, letters and calls to reflect the relevant situation to the audit team realistically.

  Fifth, Nanning Public Transport Group took over the operation and management of urban road parking spaces.From May 22nd, Huibo Company stopped operation, closed down for rectification and accepted audit, and Nanning Public Transport Group took over the operation and management of urban road parking spaces.

  The sixth is to suspend the inspection of the relevant responsible persons.The Nanning Municipal Committee decided to suspend five people, including Zhao Hui, member of the party group and vice president of Qingxiu District Court, Liang Fangyan, member of the party group and director of the Executive Board of Qingxiu District Court, Liu Xuan, member of the party group and deputy director of the Municipal and Landscape Administration Bureau, Lai Hong, member of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of Nanning Public Transport Group, and Guo Zhihua, secretary of the Party branch and chairman of Huibo Company, for inspection.

  The relevant departments are investigating and verifying the situation in depth, and will deal with it according to the results of the investigation and verification in accordance with the rules and regulations.

  The next step in Nanning:

  Nanning will adhere to the people-centered development idea, coordinate efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, continue to "visit people’s feelings, listen to people’s opinions and solve people’s worries", and constantly optimize the management of parking fees on urban roads to better meet the travel needs of the masses and improve the modernization level of urban governance system and governance capacity.

  First, complete the price adjustment as soon as possible.According to the statutory time requirements for major administrative decisions, Nanning will hold a price hearing on time on June 21st to fully listen to the opinions and suggestions from all walks of life. Carry out legal procedures such as price investigation, cost investigation, listening to social opinions, price hearing, legality review and collective deliberation according to law, optimize and adjust parking fee standards as soon as possible, and pay close attention to the introduction of a new "Nanning City Road Parking Parking Parking Service Charging Scheme".

  The second is to optimize and adjust the setting and management of parking spaces.Carry out sorting, investigation and evaluation of on-street parking spaces in Nanning, optimize the setting of on-street parking spaces, reasonably add free parking spaces, and effectively protect the parking needs and travel safety of citizens.

  The third is to comprehensively improve the standard service level.Optimize and improve the parking fee management service, rationally allocate and efficiently manage the parking resources in urban roads, and strengthen the on-the-job training and assessment of staff, so that everyone can enjoy better parking services.

  The fourth is to strengthen the supervision of road parking charges.Integrate more efforts to invest in the field of urban road parking management, strengthen inspection and supervision, strictly and fairly enforce the law, and severely investigate and punish arbitrary charges and other violations of price laws and policies.

  The fifth is to continue to respond to the concerns of the masses.Open channels for complaints to citizens and friends, make public telephone numbers for feedback, listen to the opinions and suggestions of citizens and friends, and take the initiative to accept social supervision. At the same time, standardize the complaint handling process, investigate and handle the problems fed back by the 12345 hotline, internet, letters and visits at the first time, rectify them in place at the first time, respond positively at the first time, and safeguard everyone’s legitimate rights and interests.

  At the press conferenceNanning pays attention to the general public and netizens.Respond one by one ↓ ↓

  On the Legality of Urban Road Parking Charge

  Road parking spaces are different from conventional parking lots, and the purpose is to meet the parking needs of citizens for temporary work. In order to avoid being occupied as a fixed parking space by neighboring merchants or residents for a long time, which will affect the parking of citizens who really need it, it is a common practice to improve the level of urban governance to properly charge parking spaces for the people on the premise of having a reasonable free parking time. Huibo Company was authorized by the municipal government to obtain the management right of urban road parking service in 2017. The charging standard is based on two policies. First, "Several Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Reform of Price Mechanism" is about "implementing a parking fee policy that is conducive to promoting the construction of parking facilities, alleviating urban traffic congestion, and effectively promoting the priority development of public transportation and the utilization of public road resources". Second, the Guiding Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Ministry of Transport on Further Improving the Charging Policy for Motor Vehicle Parking Services on "Accelerating the Implementation of Differentiated Charging. Encourage all localities to implement different parking service charges in different regions, different locations, different models and different time periods, curb unreasonable parking demand and alleviate urban traffic congestion.

  On Road Parking in NanningchargeThe problem of high standards

  Judging from the recent investigation in Nanning and the situation reflected by the masses, there are some problems in the current charging standard in Nanning, such as short 15-minute free parking time, high accumulated charges for the whole day and unreasonable classification of individual lots. At present, Nanning has taken two transitional measures to establish and reform.

  At present, Nanning has started a new round of procedures to optimize and adjust the road parking charge policy. According to the "Rules of Government Pricing Behavior", a hearing can be held within one month from the date of announcement. On May 21st, Nanning has issued relevant announcements.A hearing was held on June 21 to try to introduce a new policy at the end of June.

  About netizens’ comments on Qingxiu District Court and Huibo CompanyDoubts about signing the Memorandum of Cooperation

  Qingxiu District Court signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Huibo Company, promising to open up a green channel and give "four priorities" treatment, which is contrary to the principle of fairness and justice.. The court independently exercises judicial power according to law, and should not give special care or commitment to a specific subject of a specific enterprise, but should uphold the principle of fairness, justice and equal treatment. On May 19th, after examination, the High Court of the Autonomous Region instructed Qingxiu District Court and Huibo Company to dissolve the Memorandum of Cooperation.

  Nanning also noticed that some netizens questioned whether Huibo Company would use the court to recover parking arrears by signing the Memorandum of Cooperation, or include those who defaulted on parking fees in the list of untrustworthy enforcers.Upon verification, at present, Qingxiu District Court has not received a lawsuit filed by Huibo Company for parking arrears, and no one has been directly included in the list of untrustworthy enforcers by Qingxiu District Court for parking arrears.According to the relevant regulations of the Supreme People’s Court, only when the person subjected to execution fails to perform the obligations specified in the effective legal documents and has legal circumstances, will he be included in the list of people subjected to dishonesty.

  According to the investigation, Qingxiu District Court signed the Memorandum of Cooperation with Huibo Company, the original intention of which was to use Huibo Company’s parking charge system to find the information of the executed person, improve the implementation rate and solve the problem of difficult implementation. However, this practice of Qingxiu District Court is very inappropriate. In view of the problems reflected in this matter, the courts in the city should profoundly learn lessons and draw inferences from others, constantly improve their ability to perform their duties according to law, and keep the last line of defense of fairness and justice.

  About the existence of Huibo CompanyThe problem of marking parking spaces privately

  On the problem of "Huibo Company has privately designated parking spaces". Nanning responded that the setting of parking spaces on urban roads was uniformly defined by the municipal public security traffic management department according to the "Specification for Setting Parking Spaces on Urban Roads".Huibo Company has no right to designate parking spaces without authorization.After verification, Huibo Company has not been found to have the above behavior.

  About "Parking spaces on urban roads in some areas"The setting is not scientific and reasonable enough "

  During the recent investigation, Nanning City found that there are indeed some places that are not scientific and reasonable enough. For example, some parking spaces are set on narrow roads, and some parking spaces are set too close to intersections, which affects the safety of vehicles and pedestrians.Next, Nanning plans to optimize and upgrade from the following three aspects:

  First, quickly carry out the investigation and rectification of on-street parking spaces.Nanning will organize the investigation and evaluation of parking spaces on urban roads in the whole city, focusing on the problems that affect the access of fire engines, the traffic safety sight distance, and the narrow carriageway and traffic congestion caused by netizens. According to the evaluation results, timely rectification will be carried out to eliminate the hidden dangers that affect the safe and smooth road traffic.

  The second is to add convenient parking spaces in specific areas.Focus on the surrounding areas of primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, etc., and reasonably add limited-time free parking spaces or parking belts to ensure the safety of citizens’ travel and parking demand.

  The third is to establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for parking spaces.Comprehensive consideration of road and traffic conditions, parking demand, off-street parking facilities supply, parking utilization rate and other factors, fully listen to public opinions and suggestions, timely and dynamically optimize and adjust parking spaces.

  On the issue of "Huibo Company’s loan of 7.2 billion yuan"

  Some citizens and netizens pointed out that Huibo Company has a loan of 7.2 billion yuan, and Huibo Company has problems related to unreasonable charges, irregular charges by individual toll collectors and recovery of arrears. Nanning responded:

  After verification, citizens and netizens pointed out that Huibo Company had a loan of 7.2 billion yuan.This is the financial institution’s evaluation value of Huibo Company’s operating right income in the next 25 years according to a qualified third-party evaluation agency, and there is no actual loan of 7.2 billion yuan.At present,A special audit team has been sent to conduct a comprehensive audit of the company’s production and operation, loan financing and other issues.If the audit finds violations of laws and regulations, the relevant departments will deal with the relevant responsible persons according to the law. In response to related problems, the Nanning Municipal Government instructed relevant departments and bus groups to set up reforms to ensure that the rectification was in place.

  In view of the problems of arbitrary charges and irregular charges of individual toll collectors in Huibo Company, Nanning will seriously carry out special rectification and severely deal with those who violate the rules. At the same time, strengthen the education, training, supervision and management of staff, further improve the supervision system, plug loopholes, and effectively improve the quality and level of parking management services.

  In view of the problems related to the recovery of arrears left by Huibo Company, Nanning has set up a special disposal team to investigate the problems in a realistic way and put forward targeted solutions on the basis of widely listening to the rationalization opinions of the citizens.

Governing the country according to law must first adhere to the constitution.

Reading tips

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee took "ruling the country according to law" as the theme for the first time, and clearly and comprehensively promoted the rule of law, built Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s legal system and built a socialist country ruled by law.

"Improve the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics with the Constitution as the core and strengthen the implementation of the Constitution."

"To adhere to the rule of law, we must first adhere to the constitution, and to adhere to the rule of law must first govern according to the constitution."

"Improve the constitutional implementation and supervision system, improve the constitutional supervision system of the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee, and improve the procedural mechanism of constitutional interpretation."

……

The series of statements in the communiqué of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee are raising the full implementation of the Constitution to a new level, and have laid down a clear "road map" for comprehensively promoting and governing the country according to the Constitution, and then fully implementing the basic strategy of governing the country according to law.

党内重要文件首提“依宪治国”

党的十八届四中全会闭幕了,一张依法治国的新的“路线图”也由此展开。

“坚持依法治国首先要坚持依宪治国,坚持依法执政首先要坚持依宪执政。”这是新中国成立以来,中国共产党第一次在重要文件里明确提出“依宪治国”和“依宪执政”的概念。

著名法学家郭道晖对此格外看重。他和李步云、江平一起被学界尊称为中国“法治三老”,他说:“这是公报里一个重要的亮点,也是最高领袖总书记在几次会议上提到的。”

的确,当选中共中央总书记刚刚20天,最高领袖就在纪念现行宪法公布施行30周年大会上提出:“依法治国,首先是依宪治国;依法执政,关键是依宪执政”。今年9月他在全国人民代表大会成立60周年大会讲话中再次强调这一理念。

关注有关信息,多位专家认为,这次四中全会公报给出了一个明确的信号,只有推进依宪治国和依宪执政,才能将形式上的法治逐步上升为实质上的法治。

上海交通大学凯原法学院院长季卫东解读认为,对于党来说,依宪治国是一个要不要把统治建立在共识的基础上的问题,要不要履行对人民的承诺的问题,要不要使得整个法律体系不会发生矛盾、一以贯之的问题,更重要的是要不要保障人的基本权利。

Xiaomei Liu, an associate researcher at the Institute of International Law of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the leadership of the Party, the people being the masters of the country and the rule of law can form a platform by governing the country according to the Constitution, and the three can be unified under the Constitution.

Another expert explained that the life of law lies in its implementation, and the constitution is no exception. Without the comprehensive and effective implementation of the constitution, the goal of governing the country according to law cannot be truly realized. How the constitution is implemented can be regarded as a "yardstick" for governing the country according to law.

Insisting on governing the country according to the constitution still faces challenges and problems in concrete practice. Han Dayuan, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that civil servants, especially some senior cadres, have a weak constitutional concept, a weak constitutional consciousness and a lack of constitutional self-confidence on issues related to the core values and interests of the country, which leads to confusion of social values, damage to constitutional authority, and the phenomenon that the society does not act in accordance with the Constitution from time to time.

Mo jihong, vice president of china law society Constitutional Law Research Association, thinks that governing the country according to the constitution mainly refers to the specific strategies and methods of governing the country according to law. Governing the country according to law means that under the leadership of the party, the people are the masters of the country and govern the country according to the law, and the premise is the leadership of the party, and the key point is to govern the country according to the constitution.

Mo jihong said that every piece of legislation put forward in the communique is in line with the spirit of the Constitution. If legislation is not based on the Constitution, the Constitution will be shelved. Therefore, the communiqué of the Fourth Plenary Session particularly emphasized the guiding role of the Constitution in legislative work. To govern the country according to the constitution, we should do a good job in several tasks: constitutional implementation, constitutional interpretation and constitutional legislation.

Improve the constitutional supervision system, and the unconstitutional review will be ready.

The communiqué of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward: "Improve the system of constitutional implementation and supervision, and improve the system of constitutional supervision of the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee".

This is the first time that the "constitutional supervision system" was written into the important document of the the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Plenary Session after it was written into the 1982 Constitution.

"A timely investigation of unconstitutional acts is better than a thousand lectures on constitutional provisions and values." According to experts, during the 32 years since the "constitutional supervision system" entered the constitution, there has not been a constitutional review of a certain law, normative document or one of its provisions in China.

In this context, the new formulation of perfecting this system in the communique is particularly interesting. Among them, around "why should we implement constitutional supervision? Who will supervise? How to supervise? " Relevant experts made an interpretation.

"Without the supervision system, the constitution is a constitution without teeth." Li Buyun, a member of the Honorary Faculty of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that "to establish the authority of constitutional laws, we must establish a constitutional supervision system."

Guo Daohui, on the other hand, said that some laws and regulations and red-headed documents that only take care of the narrow interests of the department and local area, but infringe on the interests of the whole and citizens, and some administrative laws and regulations are ultra vires and violate the legislative procedures in formulating procedures, which are essentially unconstitutional.

The top leadership of the country has noticed that unconstitutional situations exist in different degrees throughout the country. On the 30th anniversary of the promulgation and implementation of the current Constitution, when talking about the shortcomings and problems in the implementation of the Constitution, the Supreme Leader pointed out that "the main performance is that the supervision mechanism and specific system to ensure the implementation of the Constitution are still not perfect".

At present, there are two kinds of unconstitutional review systems in the world, one is the unconstitutional review system of ordinary courts, and the other is the unconstitutional review system of specialized agencies, the names of which are mostly constitutional courts or constitutional committees.

Articles 62 and 67 of the Constitution of People’s Republic of China (PRC) clearly stipulate that one of the functions and powers of the National People’s Congress and its Standing Committee is to "supervise the implementation of the Constitution".

To improve this system, people in the legal field have concentrated their opinions on setting up a special constitutional supervision institution in the National People’s Congress.

Some experts pointed out that a basic common sense of constitutional science is that the ruling of constitutional disputes by the subject of constitutional supervision and unconstitutional review must be legally binding on all public authorities in the country, otherwise the relevant ruling will not be a real constitutional ruling.

A representative idea is that, on the basis of the existing nine special committees of the National People’s Congress, a constitutional supervision committee, composed of members of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and the most qualified jurists, can be set up to put forward opinions on unconstitutional review and report them to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), and finally the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress will discuss and decide.

"It is not of great significance to conduct an abstract review of the constitution, because it is unlikely that there will be a blatant violation of the explicit provisions of the Constitution." Ji Weidong believes that the unification of the legal system and the protection of human rights should be the two most important functions of unconstitutional review.

Improve the procedural mechanism of constitutional interpretation and make the constitution "live"

It is noteworthy that the Central Plenary Session with the theme of ruling the country according to law proposed to "improve the procedural mechanism of constitutional interpretation".

Ma Huaide, vice president of China University of Political Science and Law, explained: "This is a brand-new formulation, which puts forward specific requirements for the interpretation procedure of the Constitution. In fact, it is to make the Constitution’ live’."

"Many provisions of the Constitution are principled provisions and need to be explained in specific implementation." Mo jihong said that without constitutional interpretation, the implementation of the Constitution would fail.

Qin Qianhong, a professor at Wuhan University, believes that when the reform enters the deep water stage, there will often be "fights" between legislation and legislative and judicial interpretations. In order to unify the legal system, there must be a unified interpretation. No one can have the right to interpret the constitution, and everyone is a constitutional judge.

"In 1982, the Constitution was revised many times, which adapted to the development of the country and society to a certain extent. However, not all problems must be solved through constitutional amendment, and establishing a constitutional interpretation mechanism is one way. " Qian Hongdao, a professor at Zhejiang University, said.

Constitutional interpretation is considered as a shortcoming of the current rule of law construction by the legal circles. According to Article 67 of China’s Constitution, the first power exercised by the NPC Standing Committee is to "interpret the Constitution", but the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) has not exercised this power for many years.

Formulating the Constitutional Interpretation Procedure Law has become an important voice in the legal field in recent years, and some experts are committed to seeking the idea of "perfecting the constitutional interpretation procedure mechanism" on the basis of existing laws.

Focusing on the subject of constitutional interpretation, Wang Gongyi, former director of the Research Office of the Ministry of Justice, said: "We have a problem now, that is, replacing legal interpretation with a large number of judicial interpretations, and sometimes even replacing constitutional interpretation, which is not in line with the law."

Another jurist pointed out that under the current constitution and people’s congress system, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary courts (including the Supreme People’s Court) to interpret the constitution.

Focusing on activating the existing system or mechanism, experts suggest that the mechanism stipulated in Article 90 of the Legislative Law can be effectively linked with the constitutional interpretation.

Article 90 of the Legislative Law stipulates that five major organs may request constitutional review of regulations. These five organs include the State Council, the Central Military Commission (CMC), the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the standing committees of people’s congresses of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

The article also stipulates that citizens can also put forward suggestions for constitutional review to the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC): "If they think that administrative regulations, local regulations, autonomous regulations and separate regulations are in conflict with the Constitution or laws, they can submit a written request for review to the NPC Standing Committee, and the working organs of the Standing Committee will distribute it to the relevant special committees for review and comments."

Lin Laifan, a professor of constitutional law in Tsinghua University, thinks that citizens can activate the "procedural mechanism of constitutional interpretation" with the help of individual cases, because this mechanism is closely related to citizens’ interests and has sufficient motivation to activate constitutional interpretation.

What does "the leadership of the party" express in the communique for 13 times?

In the communiqué of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee with more than 5,000 words, there were 13 times of "Party leadership". Experts believe that this shows that the rule of law construction in China aims at strengthening the leadership of the Party, rather than promoting the Western-style political system.

"The leadership of the party is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the most fundamental guarantee of socialist rule of law." This important concept was written in the communique for the first time, and it was put forward: "It is a basic experience in the construction of socialist rule of law in China to implement the party’s leadership in the whole process and all aspects of governing the country according to law."

Experts interpret that this is the first time to clarify the relationship between party leadership and governing the country according to law in the form of plenary documents, and to clarify the party’s position in governing the country according to law.

Ma Huaide, vice president of China University of Political Science and Law and professor of administrative law, believes that China has established the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leading position in the Constitution, and upholding the leadership of the Party is the proper meaning in promoting the rule of law.

The communique pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen and improve the party’s leadership over the rule of law and implement the party’s leadership throughout the whole process of comprehensively promoting the rule of law.

"Implementing the Party’s leadership in the whole process of comprehensively promoting the rule of law" is interpreted by experts as four major responsibilities: leading legislation, ensuring law enforcement, supporting the judiciary and taking the lead in obeying the law. The relationship between "the leadership of the party" and governing the country according to law is clearly defined, from the concept declaration level to the responsibility level. This clarity itself is the adherence to the concept of governing the country according to law.

In the view of Chun Wong, president of China University of Political Science and Law and vice president of china law society, the leadership of the Party used to be mainly ideological, political and organizational, but we neglected that there is another kind of leadership, that is, the leadership of the Party is realized through the formulation and implementation of the Constitution and laws.

At the legislative level, in February this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said at the second meeting of the Central Leading Group for Deepening Reform that all major reforms should be based on the law and ensure that reforms are promoted on the track of the rule of law. The person in charge of the research office of the the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Legal Affairs Commission said that after the CPC Central Committee has made political decisions, it should first legislate and then implement them to ensure that all reform measures are carried out on the track of the rule of law.

Ruling by law requires both the party to govern the country according to the constitution and laws, and the party to govern the party according to the internal laws and regulations of the party. The communique further clarified that "leading cadres at all levels should take the lead in obeying the law, take the lead in handling affairs according to law, and must not exercise their power illegally, let alone substitute words for laws, suppress laws with power, and bending the law."

"Take the effectiveness of the rule of law construction as an important part of measuring the performance of leading bodies and leading cadres at all levels, and incorporate it into the performance appraisal index system, and take whether you can abide by the law and act according to law as an important part of inspecting cadres." Experts believe that this clear requirement of the plenary session will undoubtedly further improve party member cadres’ legal thinking and ability to handle affairs according to law.

Foreign trade development is resilient enough.

Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the complicated domestic and international economic situation, China’s foreign trade has withstood the pressure. In the first quarter, the total import and export volume reached 9.42 trillion yuan, up 10.7% year-on-year. The overall start was good, which laid a good foundation for achieving the annual target and fully reflected the resilience of foreign trade development.

We should also see that China’s foreign trade development environment is becoming more severe and complicated, and it faces many risks and challenges. A number of experts said that we should do a good job in stabilizing foreign trade policies, study effective new policies, and strive to keep foreign trade running in a reasonable range throughout the year.

Steady foreign trade policy continues to exert strength.

In the first quarter, despite the complicated and severe international environment, China’s export enterprises had a strong ability to adapt to changes in external demand. At the same time, the policy of stabilizing foreign trade continued to exert strength, and the effect of building the "Belt and Road" continued to emerge. The new foreign trade format developed rapidly and achieved a steady start on the whole.

"In the case of a high base, China’s foreign trade still maintains a double-digit rapid growth, which fully reflects the resilience of China’s foreign trade development." Liu Xiangdong, deputy director of the Economic Research Department of China International Economic Exchange Center, said.

Data show that in the first quarter, China’s industrial export delivery value increased by 14.4% year-on-year, and continued to maintain rapid growth. Among them, export delivery value’s automobile manufacturing industry and special equipment manufacturing industry both increased by more than 20%. "China has a complete industrial system and strong supporting capacity, which can quickly adapt to changes in international market demand, and foreign export demand for industrial products in China has expanded." Fu Linghui, director of the National Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said.

After entering March, the local cluster epidemic situation in China showed the characteristics of multiple points, wide coverage and frequent occurrence, and the supply chain of foreign trade industry chain was affected to some extent. "At present, China’s foreign trade development is under great pressure." Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said that on the one hand, the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic continues, the bottleneck of the global supply chain has not been alleviated, and the shortage of important raw materials such as chips continues to plague foreign trade enterprises; On the other hand, geopolitical risks are high, commodity prices are rising, and global economic and trade recovery is facing greater uncertainty.

China has issued a series of policy measures to help small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises improve their production and business environment, and achieved certain results.

Regional cooperation is deepening.

On January 1st this year, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) came into effect for 10 member countries. Up to now, the number of effective members of RCEP has reached 12.

Since the entry into force of RCEP, dividends have begun to appear. Customs statistics show that in the first quarter, China’s total import and export value to the other 14 member countries of RCEP exceeded 2 trillion yuan, up 6.9% year-on-year, accounting for 30.4% of China’s total foreign trade value in the same period. Among them, the year-on-year growth rate of import and export volume with South Korea, Malaysia and other countries exceeded double digits.

Judging from local conditions, the effective implementation of RCEP has played a positive role in stabilizing foreign trade. Take Shandong as an example. In the first quarter, Jinan Customs, Qingdao Customs and Shandong CCPIT issued 24,000 RCEP certificates of origin, ranking first in the country. Shandong’s import and export volume to other 14 member countries of RCEP increased by 20.9% compared with the same period of last year.

According to statistics, in the first quarter, Chinese enterprises used RCEP to import 6.7 billion yuan and enjoy import tariff concessions of 130 million yuan; Enjoy the export of 37.1 billion yuan, and it is expected to enjoy the tariff preference of 250 million yuan from member countries.

At the same time, China’s circle of friends to build the "Belt and Road" continues to expand. Since the beginning of this year, China has signed cooperation documents with Nicaragua, Syria, Argentina and Malawi to jointly build the "Belt and Road". "Up to now, China has signed more than 200 cooperation documents with 149 countries and 32 international organizations to jointly build the Belt and Road." Meng Wei, deputy director of the Political Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, said.

China’s trade with countries along the "Belt and Road" has become increasingly close. In the first quarter, the import and export value of China and the countries along the Belt and Road accounted for 31.1% of China’s total foreign trade import and export value, which was 1.4 percentage points higher than that of 2021 and 6.1 percentage points higher than that of 2013.

As an important guarantee for interconnection on the "Belt and Road", the overall operation of China-Europe trains is stable and efficient, showing strong development resilience. In the first quarter, China-Europe trains operated a total of 3,630 trains and transported 350,000 TEUs, up by 7% and 9% respectively year-on-year, and the comprehensive heavy container rate was 97.7%. The monthly train volume remained above 1,000 trains for 23 consecutive months, effectively ensuring the stability of the international industrial chain supply chain.

Controlling the epidemic situation is the key to the steady growth of foreign trade

Since the beginning of this year, new changes have taken place in the characteristics of epidemic spread, but as long as we adhere to scientific epidemic prevention, we can gradually block the spread of epidemic and reduce the adverse impact on economic and social development. "If the epidemic situation in Shanghai and other places was effectively controlled in May, China’s foreign trade will continue to grow in the second quarter." Liu Xiangdong said.

"The pressure of foreign trade in the second quarter is not necessarily smaller than that in the first quarter, but the momentum of foreign trade development is still sufficient." Bai Ming believes that the long-term fundamentals of China’s economy have not changed, and the trend of sustained economic recovery has not changed. China’s industrial system is complete, infrastructure is constantly improving, the advantages of super-large-scale market are obvious, and the effectiveness of innovation-driven development is constantly emerging, which has a good foundation for promoting sustained and healthy economic development. "China’s policy toolbox for supporting foreign trade development is well stocked, and measures to stabilize foreign trade are put in place." Bai Ming said that the RCEP dividend is gradually released, and the trading partners tend to be diversified, which are favorable factors to support the steady growth of foreign trade. He also stressed that small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises are under great pressure at present, so it is very important to stabilize market players.

"Since last year, China has implemented more active policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade and foreign investment, and has achieved remarkable results. In particular, under the premise of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, it has continued to expand trade channels, optimized trade structure, fostered the development of new trade formats, and effectively promoted the high-quality development of foreign trade." Liu Xiangdong said that in the next step, facing the new situation and challenges at home and abroad, it is necessary to comprehensively improve the pertinence of foreign trade development, focus on unblocking the supply chain of industrial chain and ensure the stability of industrial production. In view of the high fluctuation of international commodity prices, we will accelerate the diversification of supply channels. Support foreign trade enterprises to make full use of digital technology to develop new formats such as cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouses, and effectively do a more precise job in stabilizing trade channels and markets.

"Although the international environment is complicated and severe, on the whole, the world economy is still recovering, and the demand for China’s export products will still increase. China’s export enterprises are also more capable of adapting to changes in external demand. " Fu Linghui said. (Reporter Feng Qiyu)

Controversy over Xi Shi’s hometown: Zhuji sent an official letter to Xiaoshan asking for cancellation of fraud.

  [Tracing the dispute over the hometown of celebrities]

  Why Zhuji sent an urgent letter to Xiaoshan?

  On February 15th and 16th, Shi Zhiban and Zhuji Municipal People’s Government of Zhejiang Province sent official letters to Zhejiang Local Records Office and Xiaoshan District Government, respectively, asking them to maintain the historical truth, and to cancel or change all the contents of Xiaoshan City Records’ false "hometown of Xi Shi".

  What makes Zhuji people even more angry is that at the beginning of the new year in 2017, the relevant departments of Xiaoshan vigorously launched a slogan on Line 2 of Hangzhou Metro, the provincial capital: Millennium ancient town, hometown of Xi Shi, vibrant Linpu! Zhuji thinks this is a real false advertisement.

  "On the evening of August 21st, 1959, when Chairman Mao Zedong passed Zhuji and met Sun Zifu, then secretary of Zhuji County Party Committee, on the special train, he said: Zhuji is a famous place, and beauty Xi Shi and painter Wang Mian are both here …" Comrades from the Propaganda Department of Zhuji Municipal Committee told reporters that they could not accept the "dispute over Xi Shi’s hometown" that began 30 years ago.

  The reporter learned that in 2015, Xiaoshan City Records violated the Regulations on the Work of Local Records, and listed Xi Shi, an ancient man 2,500 years ago, as the number one biography of modern Xiaoshan City Records for the first time, and shouted for the first time that Xiaoshan was a place where Gou Jian was working hard. In 2016, Xiaoshan created a large-scale live-action musical "Xi Shi" and invited Tan Dun to invest 258 million yuan to sing "Xiaoshan is the hometown of Xi Shi".

  This series of actions of Xiaoshan has made this debate heated up.

  In 1986, Xiaoshan discovered that Mao Qiling, a scholar from Xiaoshan in the early Qing Dynasty, once quoted Liu Zhao’s annotation and wrote: "Yue Jue" said: Xiaoshan is the place where Xi Shi came from. " Wang Wei, a teacher in Xiaoshan, often published the article "Xi Shi came out of Xiaoshan", saying that "Xi Shi came out of Xiaoshan, which was first seen in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty". It is also believed that "Xi Shi was born in Zhuluo village in Yuedi (now Zhuluo village in Linpu, Xiaoshan)". "War" thus kicked off.

  "According to historical records, the name of Xiaoshan County, which began in the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, could not have appeared in Yue Jue Shu of the Han Dynasty. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty was written in Liu and Song Dynasties, more than 300 years earlier than the county name of Xiaoshan. According to Yuejueshu, there is no such text. It is not surprising that there are monuments of Xi Shi in Xiaoshan, because Xi Shi and Zheng Dan entered Wu from Vietnam, passing through Shaoxing, Xiaoshan, Deqing, Tongxiang, Jiashan, Huzhou, Suzhou and other places, and monuments commemorating Xi Shi appeared everywhere along the way, which some scholars call the’ Road of Xi Shi’. The’ historic site’ and’ hometown’ are completely different in nature, and the concepts cannot be exchanged to equate them. " Qi Caoliang, deputy director of Shi Zhiban, Zhuji City, told reporters that Zhuji and Shaoxing are the places where Gou Jian tried his best, and Huanjiang is in Zhuji. There has never been a Zhuluo village in Xiaoshan’s history. The present "Zhuluo Village" in Xiaoshan was formed by merging three natural villages in 2005. "Linpu has never belonged to Zhuji in history. Xiaoshan County was renamed from Yongxing in the first year of Tang Tianbao (742), and Linpu was called Linpuli as late as the Song Dynasty. "

  Textual research on ten representative historical books at the national level and Shaoxing prefecture level before the Southern Song Dynasty, such as the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wuyue in the Eastern Han Dynasty (Xu Tianqiu’s annotation), the Records of Huiji in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Records of Ten Roads in the Tang Dynasty, the Notes of Taiping Yu in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Records of Jiatai Huiji in the Southern Song Dynasty and Fangyu.

  Records of Zhuji County, which were officially edited by Zhuji officials, all have biographies and historical records of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan. There are only three Records of Xi Shi of Zhu Xi, which were officially edited by Zhuji officials in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and also include poems written by Xi Shi and Zheng Dan led by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty. The inheritance is orderly, and there are endless books.

  Zhuji pointed out that Xi Shi was never mentioned as a native of Xiaoshan in the Records of Xiaoshan County compiled by Jiajing, Wanli, Kangxi and Qianlong in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Xi Shi was not included in the biographies of county chronicles. Today’s "Xiaoshan City Records" has written Xi Shi, an ancient man more than 2,500 years ago, into a biography for the first time, which has neither inheritance nor historical basis.

  This may be an argument that should not have happened.

  This may be an argument that should not have happened.

  Su Buqing, president of Fudan University, said: "The issue of Xi Shi’s birthplace has been recorded in history and verified by experts, which has long been conclusive. If you practice fraud, even if you get away with it for a while, it will be untenable in the future. "

  In 2006, the State Council announced the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists, of which the tenth item was "Legend of Xi Shi" belonging to Zhuji City; In 2007, China Xishi Culture Research Center, a national regional cultural research center, was permanently located in Zhuji by the Ministry of Culture, which is a reaffirmation that Zhuji is the hometown of Xishi.

  Successive Zhuji Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have done a lot of work in protecting the historical relics and cultural imprint of Xi Shi, and building Xi Shi Dian, Xi Shi Gallery, Xi Shi’s hometown scenic spot and beautiful countryside Xi Shi landscape belt. The local organization commemorates Xi Shi’s Lotus Festival every year, and holds Xi Shi Cultural Festival every two years, inviting friends, rural sages and experts at home and abroad to offer public sacrifices to Xi Shi.

  He Jianmin, director of the Tourism Management Department of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, said with emotion: "The dispute over the hometown of celebrities is actually a struggle for an iconic, attractive and revealing cultural tourism resource, so as to enhance the visibility of the region in the whole country or the whole city. With influence, there will be customers, which can attract investment and bring income. "

  On the morning of 23rd, the reporter sent a message to contact Wang Zhihua, the section chief of Xiaoshan Shi Zhiban, and planned to conduct an interview on several issues: Xiaoshan said that Xi Shi’s hometown was in Xiaoshan. What is the conclusive historical basis? In the past, there was no saying in Xiaoshan local chronicles that Xi Shi’s hometown was in Xiaoshan. Why did it come up later in the new local chronicles? What is the idea that Xiaoshan started the dispute over Xi Shi’s hometown?

  After not getting a reply, at noon, the reporter called Shi Zhiban directly in Xiaoshan, hoping to introduce and state some relevant information about the questions raised by Zhuji. However, the comrades who answered the phone declined the interview on the grounds that it was an "academic debate".

  The reporter did not give up the interview: "At present, the two places hold their own words, but the materials provided by Zhuji are more detailed, so I hope Xiaoshan can also provide some statements. Your refusal to interview is actually a statement. "

  Five minutes later, the reporter received a phone call from Wang Zhihua and promised to provide a "Xiaoshan statement" to the reporter. He sent the reporter an email entitled "The history of Xi Shi’s hometown has not yet been settled".

  How should the 30-year-old debate end?

  According to the "Xiaoshan theory":

  In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Liu Zhao placed a bet on the "Yu Ji" in the History of the Later Han Dynasty: "Yue Jue" said: the place where Xi Shi came from. "

  In the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Yi wrote a book titled "A Wide Record of the Land" (Volume 22) and "On the Road between Zhejiang and Xiaoshan", saying: "Xiaoshan County is Benyu County, and the Han Dynasty belongs to Huiji County. At the end of the Han Dynasty, a nursery rhyme said: The son of heaven should flourish between the three southeastern regions, so Sun Quan changed his name to Yongxing County, and Jin was promoted because of it. Sui Province entered Huiji County. Tang Yifeng was reinstated in two years, belonging to Yuezhou. The first year of Tianbao was renamed Xiaoshan County. ….. The Vietnamese beauty is from this county. "

  Zhuji believes that Xiaoshan’s statement needs to be refuted. They asked the reporter to forward the two posts of "Twenty Evidence of Xiaoshan’s Fake Hometown of Xi Shi" and "Xiaoshan’s Fake Hometown of Xi Shi Dare not Touch Six High Voltage Lines" to Xiaoshan, and asked them to carefully see if they could reply to the defense. Zhuji pointed out that the book Yue Jue Shu is a pure fraud, and it is false to check the original book. Xi Shi’s hometown is an immovable geographical coordinate. No matter how the construction evolution changes, the nature of historical sites and hometown is completely different.

  On the evening of 23rd, the reporter sent the above two posts to Xiaoshan by email, asking them to express their views, but as of 5pm on 24th, the reporter had not received any reply.

  "All publicity related to Xi Shi’s hometown and related contents, especially official history books, should be based on the records of previous dynasties, and should be based on national authoritative history books such as Cihai, Encyclopedia of China and Atlas of Chinese History. Xi Shi’s culture can be shared, but Xi Shi’s hometown cannot be invaded. " Qi Caoliang told reporters.

  A scholar who has been paying attention to this matter and witnessed the whole debate feels sad: "We should spend more energy on the excavation and arrangement of Xi Shi culture, instead of turning over the history to compete for the hometown of celebrities for no reason."

  The phenomenon revealed and reflected behind the dispute over Xi Shi’s hometown involves a series of issues, such as how to inherit China’s excellent culture, how to respect history and culture, and how to be honest in academic research. Experts suggest that the relevant departments in Zhejiang Province take the lead in organizing a seminar on Xi Shi’s hometown to solve this difficult cultural and academic problem and let all parties provide historical evidence on the spot.

Besides Windows, do you know that Microsoft has produced so many "artifacts"?

When it comes to Microsoft, Windows is definitely the first thing that comes to mind. As a top technology company that has been established for 46 years, Microsoft is actually doing what many software companies are doing every day — — Develop software.

So besides Windows, what other "giant hard artifacts" have Microsoft developed? The next article will give you a general overview.

The dynamic wallpaper of MacOS is very enviable, but unfortunately … … Windows does not support it. However, a gadget called "Bing Wallpaper" can help us realize this dream.

The function of the software has been clearly displayed on the name. After installation, Bing’s daily wallpaper will be automatically downloaded and used as desktop wallpaper.

Besides Windows, do you know that Microsoft has produced so many "artifacts"?
Bing Wallpaper can automatically update wallpaper every day.

Because the function is really simple, the software has not designed any function options. The only regret is that it doesn’t support 4K.

2. PowerToys

PowerToys is an official system enhancer produced by Microsoft, including color picker, screen splitter, keyboard mapper, batch image adjustment, batch renaming, quick search bar and other functional modules.

The idea of the software is not complicated, but it makes up for several aspects that have not been paid attention to in the current version of Win10. Among them, the quick search bar is the most concerned, not only because its appearance is similar to Spotlight of MacOS, but also because it can really improve the search usability of Windows to some extent.

In addition, if you are a "fish screen" user, its "FancyZones" can help you build a more flexible window arrangement layout.

And this will also improve the working efficiency of users on high-resolution displays to the greatest extent.

If you have a Win10 tablet or like to paint on the computer, then this Whiteboard should be your dish. As its name suggests, Whiteboard is actually a "whiteboard" in a computer.

Users can write, draw, mark and take notes at will in the "whiteboard" with the help of a mouse, stylus, etc. In addition to being creative, you can also use Win10′ s teleconferencing mechanism to communicate and discuss with colleagues and customers in the "whiteboard".

Because the content of Whiteboard is stored in the cloud in real time, users can have a good operating experience whether watching or discussing.

4. Sway

Sway is a slide production website produced by Microsoft, but it doesn’t design many complicated functions and buttons like Powerpoint. Sway builds a presentation through story lines, which is very similar to the "outline" in Powerpoint.

Because it is an online application, the results generated by Sway can be played directly on the network, which makes it easier to share and spread.

However, Sway still supports the insertion of Bing search, OneDrive, local files and other resources, and its connection with Office is still very close. At the same time, slides can also be directly exported to Word, PDF and other formats, which is convenient for users to edit again.

5. To-Do

Microsoft To-Do is a tool launched by Microsoft, which supports Windows, Mac and Android. Different from Outlook professional task planning, To-Do is positioned as a lightweight task management tool.

6. Office Lens

Generating paper files into electronic files is what we often call OCR. Office Lens is an OCR tool produced by Microsoft, which can quickly convert a paper document into an editable document.

The use of the software is very simple. First, take a photo of the document to be processed, and then select the saving mode as "OCR document", thus generating an electronic file.

Because OCR usually can’t achieve 100% recognition, Office Lens will paste the original image under each recognition result to facilitate user proofreading. In addition, the edge recognition of Office Lens is also very powerful, and the general file skew can be corrected automatically.

The recognition effect of Office Lens is good.

7. Microsoft AI knows the map

In addition to Office Lens, Microsoft also has a more powerful intelligent mapping tool, which is — — "Microsoft AI knows the map." However, unlike the APP form of Office Lens, "Microsoft AI Reading Map" is a WeChat applet.

Although they are all OCR recognition, "Microsoft AI recognizes pictures" is obviously more functional. In addition to the traditional character recognition, Microsoft AI has also added the functions of "changing words and saving pictures" (that is, modifying some words in the recognition results and saving them back in the picture), table restoration, English translation, PDF/PPT splicing and so on.

The most interesting thing is "Portrait Creation", which is similar to the dynamic template in Tik Tok or Photo APP. You can use your avatar to quickly generate personal profile, award-winning pictures, holiday wishes and other pictures. It sounds a little skinnier, right, but the playability is still good!

Write it at the end

In addition to the above, Microsoft has actually produced other gadgets. Although not every one is a boutique, with strong technical strength, most of them are still good in functional performance. In short, Windows is not the whole of Microsoft, and Microsoft is by no means the endorsement of Windows. If you are interested, please give it a try.
