In 1928, the Japanese Kwantung Army created the "Huanggutun Incident", which killed Zhang Zuolin and became a preview of the September 18th Incident. In June 1931, the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army and the Ministry of the Army formulated the "Outline of Solutions to the Manchu-Mongolian Problem" and determined the specific steps of occupying the three northeastern provinces of China by force; In July, the Army Chiefs of Staff secretly transported the siege heavy artillery to Shenyang, aiming at Peking University Camp, the military station of China; In August, Minami Jiro, the Minister of the Army of the Japanese government, shouted at the National Division Chiefs Meeting in Japan: The Manchu-Mongolian problem can only be solved by force. Then further preparations were made to launch this war.

At about 10 o’clock on the evening of September 18th, 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army blew up a section of the track of Nanman Railway near Liutiao Lake in the northern suburb of Shenyang, and it was China’s army that made the accusation. Then, it used this as an excuse to shell Peking University Camp and attack Shenyang City, and the September 18th Incident that shocked China and foreign countries broke out. In the early morning of the next day of the September 18th Incident, Shenyang City fell, and in February 1932, the whole northeast fell.

On September 3, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech at the symposium commemorating the 75th anniversary of the victory of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the world anti-fascist war, pointing out that after the September 18th Incident, the people of China rose up in the white mountains and blackwaters, becoming the starting point of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and at the same time opening the prelude of the world anti-fascist war.

In July 2015, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed during his inspection tour in Jilin that it is necessary to explore, study and publicize the history of the Anti-Union, organize relevant commemorative activities, and gather positive energy for strengthening party building and promoting reform, development and stability.

The Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces is an anti-Japanese armed force founded and led by the Communist Party of China (CPC). It is the first heroic force to enter the anti-Japanese battlefield in China, with the longest persistence and the hardest struggle. From the anti-Japanese guerrillas to the people’s revolutionary army, and then to the northeast anti-Japanese Coalition forces, the anti-Japanese armed forces in Northeast China continued to develop and reached their peak from the second half of 1936 to the autumn of 1937. The Northeast Anti-Allied Forces formed 11 armies with more than 30,000 people, covering the vast areas of more than 70 counties in North Manchuria, South Manchuria, East Manchuria and Jidong at that time.

The struggle of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces played an important role in China, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the world anti-fascist war, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors, inspired the national spirit, promoted the development of the national anti-Japanese national salvation movement, effectively contained most of the troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army, seriously disrupted the strategic deployment of Japanese imperialism, and delayed Japan’s plan to carry out a full-scale war of aggression against China and "northward invasion" of the Soviet Union.

在14年抗日战争中,东北抗日联军用鲜血和生命谱写了中国人民抗日战争这部壮丽史诗中最惨烈、最艰苦、最令人动容的篇章,涌现出以杨靖宇、赵尚志、赵一曼、“八女投江”等为杰出代表的民族英雄和英雄群体。东北抗联中牺牲的军级干部有30多名,师级干部有120余名。东北抗联1937年有3万余人,到1940年只剩下不到2000人。

On September 11th, 2015, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader mentioned the letters from the martyrs of Zhao Yiman when he presided over the 26th collective study of the 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. The general secretary said with deep affection: "The letters from these revolutionary martyrs are the most vivid and convincing teaching materials for the education of ideals and beliefs. They should be edited into volumes and distributed to party member and cadres. Everyone often reads and thinks about them."

On September 3rd, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech at the symposium to commemorate the 75th anniversary of China people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the victory of the world anti-fascist war, pointing out that Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi and other patriotic generals, eight female fighters of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Union and many other heroic groups were outstanding representatives of Qian Qian’s thousands of anti-Japanese soldiers.

On April 4, 2019, at the Northeast Martyrs Memorial Hall, students were listening to the commentator's explanation.

On April 4, 2019, at the Northeast Martyrs Memorial Hall, students were listening to the commentator’s explanation.

In May 2016, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out during his investigation in Heilongjiang: "There are many favorable conditions in Heilongjiang to strengthen the construction of cadres’ work style. The spirit of Northeast Anti-Union, the spirit of Great Northern Wilderness, the spirit of Daqing and the spirit of Iron Man have inspired generations. Today, we still have to use these spirits to educate the vast number of party member and cadres, guide them to carry forward their fine traditions, and take the lead in promoting new trends and healthy trends in the whole society. "

Between the white mountains and the black waters, the Northeast Anti-Union soldiers forged the Northeast Anti-Union spirit with the main connotation of "bravely going to the national disaster, consciously taking responsibility, tenacious struggle, sacrificing life for justice, and uniting to resist aggression". The basic connotation of the Northeast Anti-Union Spirit includes: the patriotic spirit of loyalty to the country and courage to go to the national disaster; Brave and tenacious heroic fighting spirit; Perseverance and dedication, not afraid of sacrifice; Undaunted and indomitable spirit of hard struggle; The spirit of internationalism of sharing weal and woe, unity and resisting aggression.

The spirit of Northeast Anti-Union is formed by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the hard struggle against Japanese militaristic aggression for 14 years. It is a concentrated expression of the lofty spirit and noble ideological character of the Northeast Anti-Union soldiers, a heroic epic in the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China, a manifestation of the Chinese nation’s indomitable revolutionary spirit, and a legendary example of human beings challenging their limits for just causes.

Linkage to help and care for teenagers who are often in trouble in Pukou, Nanjing

       Cctv news Frequent visits and emotional communication online; Reorganization, regional linkage online; Fine topic, accurate help online … … In recent years, Pukou District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, has coordinated all forces and resources, taken various measures simultaneously, fully implemented the assistance work for young people in distress, and provided assistance and support in terms of material security, psychological assistance and learning growth. Real-time attention, normal care and "group-like" care illuminate the growth path of young people in distress.

  In Pukou District, "If you are in trouble, find a group" is not a slogan, but an action. "As a grassroots league cadre, we often cooperate with civil affairs, women’s federations and other departments to conduct regular visits to the personnel in the Youth League Committee’s difficult youth information database to keep abreast of the life and learning status of the young people in trouble." Wang Wei, secretary of the Communist Youth League Working Committee of Jiangpu Street in Pukou District, said that field visits have brought closer the friendly and interactive relationship between grassroots league cadres and children and their caregivers, which is convenient for contact and accurate service at any time.

  In order to promote the linkage and normalization of the assistance work for young people in distress, and form a caring joint force, Pukou District has established an information notification and sharing mechanism among member units such as courts, procuratorates, public security, civil affairs, education, justice, health care, women’s federations, etc., and held regular special meetings to study and consider major issues concerning the protection of minors, so as to jointly judge, discuss, implement and supervise the plight of young people involved in cases and law-related difficulties.

  In the aspect of raising love funds and carrying out student aid activities, the Pukou District Committee of the Communist Youth League of Nanjing docked with the Charity Federation, the Working Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Red Cross and other departments, and implemented the source of funds in accordance with the "one activity, one application" model, forming a regional linkage co-construction model of "Youth League initiation and joint participation"; Actively link universities, enterprises and other caring resources, innovatively launch the "A Seed’s Travel" project, carry out special aid action, set up the "Qinzi Tongxing Puqing Classroom" public welfare aid action, explore the implementation of the League branch aid action, and the League branch will help the children in trouble, further improving the quality and efficiency of the aid work.

  In order to improve the living environment of young people in distress, the Pukou District Committee of Nanjing Communist Youth League, together with Kangju Group and Charity Center, promoted the construction of "dream huts", formulated a personalized design and construction scheme of "one household, one file", used environmentally-friendly decoration materials and furniture with high standards, and invested a total of more than 1.5 million yuan to build 54 "dream huts" with unified style, complete configuration, warmth and livability. At present, 10 renovation projects of "dream huts" in 2023 have also been fully launched.

  In addition, Pukou District will carry out the assistance goal of "monthly activities, seasonal themes and annual research" to the end, and plan four themes of "spring breeze to warm up", "enjoy life", "dream ahead" and "warm winter to help the poor", and carefully arrange a series of activities every month, inviting young people in trouble and "parents in hope" to participate in and integrate into them, so that children can truly feel the "warm current" of love.

  The relevant person in charge of the Pukou District Committee of the Communist Youth League in Nanjing said that the theme activities such as "saving around" and "feeling warm and enjoying Puai" will be carried out one after another to enrich the content of the assistance project, enhance the self-care ability of the young people in distress and help them grow up happily.

Why is the restaurant "fresh cooking" a selling point? We’d like to know about the prepared dishes.

During the National Day, prefabricated dishes have once again become a hot topic of consumption. Some people who go out to eat have found that some restaurants have used "fried now" as a selling point. After on-the-spot visits and expert interviews, we found out four core problems, hoping to uncover the true face of prefabricated dishes.

Question: Is there a definition of prepared food?

Ready-to-eat, hot, cooked and prepared.

During the festival, supermarkets and wholesale markets are crowded. Meat, fruits and vegetables, aquatic products, cooked food … The counter is crowded with consumers.

In some freezers, the reporter saw prefabricated dishes. There are sweet and sour tenderloin, boiled pork slices and fish-flavored shredded pork, and there are also more complicated ones, such as Maoxuewang and fish head with chopped pepper. In addition, there are more upscale "clubhouse only" Buddha jumping wall and pepper chicken. These prefabricated dishes are priced from a dozen yuan to five or six hundred yuan.

In addition to these products clearly marked with prefabricated dishes, what other products belong to prefabricated dishes?

According to the group standard "Product Specification for Precast Vegetables" jointly drafted by a number of catering enterprises and research institutes under the leadership of China Cuisine Association, prefabricated vegetables refer to ready-to-eat, that is, hot, instant-cooking and instant-cooking, which is made by washing, cutting, matching and cooking with one or more ingredients as the main raw materials, with or without auxiliary materials and condiments (including food additives).

It can be seen that the dishes or staple foods covered by prefabricated dishes are very rich, and some dishes that we used to eat often can also be classified as prefabricated dishes.

Celebrity chef Zhang Yanjun told reporters that Chinese food has long had the technique of pre-cooking. The steamed buns, steamed buns and fried forks that we will steam in advance during the Chinese New Year can all be included in the category of pre-cooking. But these prefabricated dishes are familiar to consumers. What consumers don’t understand, often discuss, and are easy to question are all kinds of prefabricated food packages.

Second question: Did you tell me about the prepared dishes?

The right to know has not been implemented yet.

In shopping malls, the dining floor is always the hottest business. The waiter stood in front of the store, holding a menu to sell to consumers. The reporter read it once and asked again, and found that no restaurant would take the initiative to mark the prepared dishes on the menu. Some restaurant waiters directly deny the use of prefabricated dishes, but their brand of prefabricated dishes are sold online, and even emphasize that "it is the same as the store".

There is a dumpling shop, and jiaozi in the shop is all packaged now, but some soup-pot dishes can’t be spicy, because they are prepared and delivered by the central kitchen. A Hunan restaurant said that most of the dishes in the store are freshly fried, and only a small number of noodles are prefabricated dishes. Some Thai restaurants have specially emphasized that the time for serving dishes is a little slow, because all of them are fried now. There are also restaurants that directly put "fresh speculation" on advertisements in conspicuous positions.

The consumer’s right to know has not been implemented yet. If the restaurant clearly marks the prepared dishes, consumers can choose according to their needs.

"Consumers into the hotel, is for the sake of what? If it is to pursue delicious food and the charm of Chinese food, it is inevitable that the taste cannot be ignored. I don’t object to prefabricated dishes, but using prefabricated dishes and on-site production is a different experience for taste buds. " Zhang Yanjun said that in real business, many restaurants have to use prefabricated dishes because of factors such as cost and kitchen standards. A kung pao chicken, the production of prefabricated vegetables is stable and lacks characteristics; Stir-fried is a fresh and jumping taste. "I think the market will give a choice in the end. Consumers who don’t mind prefabricated dishes and consumers who want to taste freshly fried dishes will walk into different stores. "

Third question: Is there a standard for pre-cooked dishes?

One diced chicken has three faces.

In a large supermarket, nearly 20 kinds of prefabricated dishes are placed on the shelves in the semi-finished food area specially set up, and many of them have been sold out. Publicity slogans such as "one dish in five minutes" and "one table in five minutes" highlight the convenience and quickness of prefabricated dishes. Different kinds of dishes are placed in the prefabricated dish area, but the implementation standards of dishes also have their own characteristics.

Even for the same kind of prefabricated dishes, the production execution standards used are different. Take kung pao chicken, a home-cooked dish, as an example. On a supermarket shelf, the product standard number is SB/T10648;; On the package of pre-cooked vegetables promoted by another supermarket, the implementation standard is QB/T 5471; On a shopping platform, the product standard number of a brand kung pao chicken is SB/T10379. After inquiry, it was found that "SB/T10648" was the industry standard of frozen prepared food, "QB/T5471" was the industry standard of instant dishes, and "SB/T10379" was the industry standard of quick-frozen prepared food. In other words, one kung pao chicken has three "faces".

In fact, the industry standard is only one of the standards currently adopted in the field of prefabricated dishes. According to statistics, as of May this year, there are about 120 standards of prepared dishes in various places, including local standards, group standards and enterprise standards, but there is still a lack of national standards.

Yi Zhu, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, believes that there are countless production execution standards for prefabricated vegetables in the market at present. However, most of these standards are "turning around in the same place with another name, without going any further." High standards can give birth to high-quality prefabricated dishes. She believes that the state should introduce some mandatory standards for pre-cooked dishes, but in the current situation of mixed markets, it is imperative to encourage enterprises, industries and places to demand themselves with higher standards.

Four questions: Is the prepared dish nutritious?

The market needs "three good" prepared dishes

"It’s convenient to buy prefabricated dishes, but I didn’t think too much about others." A citizen who often buys prefabricated vegetables said that he certainly hopes that prefabricated vegetables can be safe and nutritious, but the reality is that many times the packaging information can’t be understood. At the same time, some citizens believe that the additives used in prefabricated dishes should be more standardized first. "How much each kind has added should be written out."

Compared with some labels of prefabricated vegetables, the reporter saw that information such as ingredient list, nutritional components, shelf life, implementation standards, etc. are usually marked on the packaging of prefabricated vegetables, and some products are also marked with allergen information.

For example, in a kung pao chicken, food additives, compound water retention agents, compound acidity regulators and food spices are marked in the meat package. Among them, acetylated starch adipate, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium alginate are difficult for consumers to understand.

Yi Zhu said that the public and the market need "three good" prepared dishes that are delicious, easy to cook and nutritious. At present, the public is most worried about the issue of food additives. Pre-cooked vegetable enterprises and industries should understand that additives should be added carefully, "if you can’t add them, don’t add them, if you can add less, you will never add more." At the same time, the current ingredient list of prefabricated dishes is too complicated to be understood by consumers. For example, what are the specific contents of raw materials, energy, protein, fat, dietary fiber, etc. in a prefabricated dish? "It is recommended to label it as a unit, not how much it contains per 100 grams."

Yi Zhu suggested that consumers should carefully read the ingredient list and other information when purchasing pre-cooked dishes. In pursuit of safety and nutrition, they can mainly refer to the sodium ion content. "The lower the sodium ion content, the more they choose it", and they should "vote with their feet" on commodities and enterprises. In order to standardize the healthy and orderly development of the prefabricated dish industry and truly achieve the "three good", we should gradually establish an effective supervision mechanism such as a unified standard system, certification system and traceability system for prefabricated dishes on the basis of establishing and introducing higher standards in the future.

The market has demand policies to add vitality, and cross-border e-commerce is growing strongly.

  In recent years, China’s cross-border e-commerce import and export scale has continued to grow rapidly, becoming a new bright spot in foreign trade development. The Ministry of Commerce and other six departments recently jointly issued the Notice on Expanding the Pilot of Cross-border E-commerce Retail Import and Strictly Implementing the Regulatory Requirements (hereinafter referred to as the Notice). The Notice clarifies that the pilot of cross-border e-commerce retail import will be extended to all cities (and regions) where the Pilot Free Trade Zone, the Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Test Zone, the Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the Import Trade Promotion Innovation Demonstration Zone and the Bonded Logistics Center (Type B) are located. What impact will the expansion of the pilot scope bring, and what is the current development trend of cross-border e-commerce? The reporter conducted an interview.

  China’s cross-border e-commerce retail import scale has exceeded 100 billion yuan.

  Cross-border e-commerce retail imports are not far away from us. Domestic consumers purchase overseas goods through cross-border e-commerce platforms, which constitutes cross-border e-commerce retail imports. According to statistics, in 2020, China’s cross-border e-commerce retail import scale has exceeded 100 billion yuan.

  The development of new formats can not be separated from the strong support of relevant policies. Since 2016, China has explored the transitional policy arrangement of "temporarily supervising personal belongings" for cross-border e-commerce retail imports. Since then, the transitional period has been extended twice to the end of 2017 and the end of 2018. In November, 2018, the Ministry of Commerce and other six departments issued the Notice on Improving the Supervision of Retail Imports in cross-border electronic commerce, which made it clear that the cross-border e-commerce retail imports were supervised according to the imported articles for personal use in 37 cities, and the requirements of approval, registration or filing of the first import license were not implemented, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the supervision arrangement after the transition period. In 2020, the pilot will be further expanded to 86 cities and the whole island of Hainan.

  "Supervision of imported articles for personal use" means simpler procedures and faster circulation. Driven by the pilot, China’s cross-border e-commerce retail imports have grown rapidly. Gao Feng, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, said that since the pilot of cross-border e-commerce retail import was launched in November 2018, various departments and localities have actively explored and constantly improved the policy system, standardized in development and developed in standardization. At the same time, the risk prevention and control and supervision system is gradually improving, and the supervision after the event is powerful and effective, which has the conditions for replication and promotion in a wider range.

  "The expansion of the pilot scope this time is mainly to better meet the people’s growing needs for a better life and promote the better development of cross-border e-commerce imports." Gao Feng introduced that in the future, the cities where the relevant regions are located can carry out online shopping bonded import business as long as they meet the requirements of customs supervision, which will facilitate enterprises to flexibly adjust their business layout according to development needs, facilitate consumers to purchase cross-border goods more conveniently, and help give play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, and at the same time focus on strengthening post-event supervision.

  With the accelerating pace of consumption upgrading, the demand of Chinese consumers for high-quality imported goods is increasing day by day. More consumer groups hope to buy all over the world without leaving home, and the space for cross-border e-commerce retail import development is broader. In the next step, the Ministry of Commerce will work with relevant departments to urge all pilot cities to strictly implement the requirements and promote the healthy and sustainable development of cross-border e-commerce retail imports.

  Support the intensive introduction of policies to create a good environment for rapid development.

  In March this year, the first China Cross-border E-commerce Fair was held in Fuzhou, attracting 2,363 enterprises to participate in the fair, covering 33 cross-border e-commerce platforms around the world. According to incomplete statistics, the total amount of intentional transactions reached in this exhibition exceeded $3.5 billion. According to customs data, in 2020, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China was 1.69 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.1%. Cross-border e-commerce has gradually become a new engine for the high-quality development of foreign trade.

  Zhang Jianping, director of the Regional Economic Cooperation Research Center of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in recent years, cross-border e-commerce has maintained a double-digit growth rate and made remarkable contributions to China’s foreign trade development. Especially in 2020, China’s foreign trade will achieve a V-shaped reversal under severe challenges, which is not unrelated to the development of cross-border e-commerce. Cross-border e-commerce has played its unique advantages of breaking through time and space constraints, low cost and high efficiency, and has become an important choice for enterprises to carry out international trade and the vanguard of foreign trade innovation and development, and has played a positive role for foreign trade enterprises to cope with the impact of the epidemic.

  The intensive introduction of support policies has also created a good environment for the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce.

  In 2020, China will add 46 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones, and the number of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones will be expanded to 105. The Ministry of Commerce, together with relevant departments, adheres to the principle of encouraging innovation, inclusiveness and prudence, encourages the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area to carry out service, format and model innovation, supports the integrated development of cross-border e-commerce such as design, production, marketing, trading and after-sales, and accelerates the construction of a new highland for opening up. All localities take the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zone as the starting point, build offline industrial parks, actively attract leading enterprises to enter the zone, and drive the surrounding areas to gather upstream and downstream supporting enterprises. At present, more than 330 industrial parks have been built in various cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test areas, driving employment to over 3 million people.

  In terms of customs clearance, the General Administration of Customs has innovatively launched the B2B (business-to-business) export pilot of cross-border e-commerce, and newly added the direct export of cross-border e-commerce (9710) and the export of cross-border e-commerce to overseas warehouses (9810). Now, the pilot projects have been carried out in 22 directly affiliated customs offices such as Beijing, and the innovative results of cross-border e-commerce supervision have been extended from B2C (business-to-person) to B2B field, with supporting measures to facilitate customs clearance. The pilot enterprises can apply the "one

  "Under the background of the customs’ pilot export supervision and the acceleration of the construction of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones in various places, cross-border e-commerce will continue to flourish with the encouragement of policies and environment, injecting new vitality into China’s foreign trade transformation and upgrading." Zhang Jianping said.

  Digital technology is widely used in all aspects, and the supervision method needs to keep pace with the times.

  The wide application of digital technologies such as cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and blockchain in all aspects of cross-border trade has driven the continuous transformation and upgrading of cross-border e-commerce.

  Wang Xiaohong, deputy director of the Information Department of China International Economic Exchange Center, said that this new digital foreign trade format is based on the full-link cross-border trade platform, forming an ecosystem integrating manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, consumers, logistics, finance and government regulatory authorities. It includes not only cross-border commodity circulation, but also related supporting services such as logistics, finance, information, payment, settlement, credit investigation, finance and taxation, efficient comprehensive foreign trade services such as customs clearance, foreign exchange collection and tax refund, as well as information-based, data-based and intelligent new supervision methods and new international rules system.

  "It is precisely because of the super-large-scale market advantage, industrial promotion mechanism and inclusive supervision method that China’s cross-border e-commerce enterprises have grown rapidly, and their scale and strength have jumped rapidly." Wang Xiaohong said, however, it should also be noted that cross-border e-commerce is still in the initial stage of development, and supporting facilities such as warehousing, transportation, distribution, after-sales service, experience, payment and settlement still need to be improved, and the supervision method needs to keep pace with the times, and both standardization and development should be adhered to.

  While the pilot of cross-border e-commerce retail import is expanding, it is also explicitly required that all pilot cities (regions) should earnestly assume the main responsibility of the pilot work of cross-border e-commerce retail import policy in the region, strictly implement the regulatory requirements, comprehensively strengthen the prevention and control of quality and safety risks, and promptly investigate and deal with violations such as "online shopping bonded+offline self-raising" and secondary sales outside the special customs supervision area to ensure the smooth progress of the pilot work and jointly promote the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

  There is demand in the market, policies add vitality, cross-border e-commerce is growing strongly, and supporting facilities are gradually following up. According to reports, at present, there are more than 1,800 overseas warehouses for cross-border e-commerce in China, with a growth rate of 80% in 2020 and an area of over 12 million square meters.

Guangdong: Stabilize foreign trade tax authorities to "support enterprises"

The spread of COVID-19 epidemic around the world has brought great impact on the world economy, especially on international trade. In Guangdong, a major foreign trade province in China, the total import and export volume decreased by 11.8% in the first quarter of this year, of which exports decreased by 14.4%. A large number of foreign trade enterprises are facing the dual pressures of insufficient supply of raw materials and reduced orders.

In the interview, the reporter found that with the continuous acceleration of export tax rebate and the implementation of a package of preferential policies to support epidemic prevention and control, the pressure and burden of export enterprises have been reduced, and they have used the saved funds on the "cutting edge" and quickly responded to the new situation of foreign trade by changing production and reselling, and achieved a breakthrough against the trend.

Tax "blood transfusion" to help enterprises tide over the difficulties

In contrast to the obvious decline in foreign trade data, it is the steady increase in tax policy support.

According to statistics, in the first quarter of this year, the tax authorities of Guangdong Province handled 65.674 billion yuan of tax refund for 35,000 export enterprises in the province, and the proportion of "non-contact" processing was nearly 100%. Since February, the average processing time of export tax rebate in the province has been shortened to five working days, which is half of the national average processing time last year.

Guangdong Yuanhua New Materials Co., Ltd. is a production-oriented export enterprise specializing in household products such as anti-skid mats and yoga mats. Due to the foreign epidemic, the company’s export orders have been greatly reduced, and its sales in March decreased by nearly 50% compared with the same period last year. After learning about this situation, the tax department of Foshan City immediately provided online guidance to enterprises to submit export tax refund applications, and at the same time strengthened communication and coordination with the state treasury, and soon returned the tax to the enterprise account. Wang Lianzhen, the company’s financial controller, said: "The export tax rebate of nearly 3 million yuan has reduced our financial pressure and enhanced our confidence in the follow-up development."

While production-oriented enterprises enjoy the rapid "blood transfusion" of export tax rebate, many enterprises engaged in cross-border e-commerce and foreign trade transactions have also received tax relief packages to varying degrees.

Huizhou Chuanghui Plastic Co., Ltd. is a small and micro enterprise, mainly producing plastic toys, all of which are exported to Europe, America, Canada and other places. Affected by the epidemic, the turnover of enterprises fell by 60%, while the cost of manpower and logistics increased a lot, which made business operators "under great pressure". Yu Zhiqiang, the person in charge of the company, said: "The export tax rebate exceeding 30,000 yuan and the social security fee reduction of 75,000 yuan have solved our urgent needs and added a bit of confidence for enterprises to tide over the difficulties."

In order to help foreign trade enterprises meet the challenges, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China Guangdong Provincial Taxation Bureau has specially set up ledgers for key industries and major export enterprises, deeply understood the impact of the epidemic on enterprises and their demands, and adopted a series of targeted measures to ensure the stable operation of the foreign trade industrial chain supply chain.

Moving to China, the new platform has new opportunities.

At present, many foreign trade enterprises are actively catering to the new market situation and new trends.

Exporting to domestic market is a self-help method chosen by many foreign trade enterprises. The trend of new industries, such as 5G and industrial Internet, has enabled Jinbao Electronics (China) Co., Ltd. to "sniff" business opportunities.

"After discussion, we decided to access the regional 5G supply chain and provide base station equipment, wireless modules and other products for well-known domestic communication enterprises, from foreign trade to domestic sales." Liu Yuanhua, the company’s financial manager, said, "Thanks to the help of the tax department on the road to transformation, we dare to take a bold step." He said that the tax reduction red envelopes that have been received in succession have revitalized the company’s capital flow and enabled the company to invest more capital in optimizing production equipment and production processes for domestic customers.

At the same time, the market transformation drives a series of adjustments in the development and operation of enterprises. How to apply for the certificate of enterprises turning to domestic sales? How to connect the departments of taxation, customs and foreign exchange management? After learning about Jinbao Electronics’ demands, the tax department of Dongguan City quickly formed a special group to provide one-on-one counseling to help enterprises establish a new tax-related management model and follow the trend of "transformation".

For the enterprise itself, "export to domestic sales" is the beginning of accelerating the layout of the domestic market, and Guangdong Yuanhua New Materials Co., Ltd. has a similar plan. During the epidemic, the popularity of home fitness products continued to rise. Concerned about this trend, Yuanhua New Materials quickly adjusted its marketing strategy and turned to domestic sales.

In order to attract more potential customers and increase customer stickiness, the company aims at the needs of domestic consumers while accelerating cooperation with online e-commerce, and promptly adjusts the product delivery structure. "The fast tax refund has increased the capital’ living water’, and we immediately invested in product research and development to accelerate the development of new fitness products with both fashion sense and scientific and technological content." Wang Lianzhen said: "The tax department also counseled us to publish product information on the Zhilian platform of Guangdong tax industry chain to help us further expand our sales."

At present, adjusting the direction of production and sales in line with market demand has made Yuanhua new materials catch the "express train" of domestic sales, and the company’s sales in March have doubled compared with that in February.

Demand-oriented, cross-border transformation and new development

In order to better adapt to the new foreign trade environment, many enterprises also seize business opportunities from crises and difficulties by adjusting their development strategies in time, expanding markets and grasping orders. When the epidemic broke out, Gree Electric made emergency cross-border production of epidemic prevention materials such as masks to help the global fight against the epidemic.

After learning the news of cross-border production of epidemic prevention materials in Gree Electric, the Guangdong provincial tax authorities immediately used big data to help them get through all production links. The tax department of Zhuhai has specially established the "Gree Department" service WeChat group to provide real-time tax analysis suggestions to enterprises.

There are many examples of enterprise innovation and change under the new situation. As the representative of cross-border e-commerce in Hengqin, Cross-border Network Technology Co., Ltd. enjoys the unique advantages of Macao-China-Portugal platform. During the epidemic period, the company launched the "anti-epidemic plan-global collection of medical materials" to ensure the supply and sales of epidemic prevention materials.

In this process, the tax department of Hengqin New District of Zhuhai actively uses tax big data to bridge the gap between cross-border companies and hundreds of enterprises such as Hengqin Enterprise Park, and timely implement tax incentives for cross-border companies. "The efficient and meticulous service of the tax department allows us to fully enjoy policy support." Zhou Yunxian, head of Cross-border Network Technology Co., Ltd. said.

Policy support continues to increase. The the State Council Standing Committee held on April 7th decided to play a set of "combination boxing" to stabilize the basic foreign trade and foreign investment. Among them, the Canton Fair, as the weather vane of the national foreign trade industry, will be held online for the first time in June this year. According to the work arrangement, the Guangdong Provincial Taxation Bureau will "move" the tax publicity and counseling online at that time, and it is expected to provide publicity and counseling services for 25,000 exhibitors.

With the support of tax policies and tax authorities, a large number of Guangdong enterprises have launched a double upgrade of operation and management, which has accelerated the pace of Guangdong’s foreign trade stabilization and recovery. From the economic data in March, this positive trend has been reflected: in March, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, investment in fixed assets and the decline of import and export in Guangdong Province narrowed by 18.5, 12.7 and 9.3 percentage points respectively compared with January and February.

Purchasing food? These imported foods are rejected by our country, covering almost all kinds.

  CCTV News:The safety status of imported food in China in 2017 announced by the General Administration of Customs also shows that in 2017, a total of 49,000 tons of food that did not meet China’s laws, regulations and standards and were not allowed to enter the country were detected. The main unqualified items are the use of food additives beyond the scope or limit, microbial contamination and unqualified quality in some imported foods.

  In 2017, a total of 6,631 batches, 49,000 tons and 69.537 million US dollars of food that did not comply with Chinese laws, regulations and standards and were not allowed to enter the country were detected.

  In terms of food types, the foods that are not allowed to enter the country cover almost all kinds of imported foods, among which the top 10 categories are beverages, cakes and biscuits, sugar, cereals and products, alcohol, meat, aquatic products and products, dairy products, tea and special foods, accounting for 86.1% of the total batches of foods that are not allowed to enter the country.

  Bi Kexin, head of the Import and Export Food Safety Bureau of the General Administration of Customs, said that quality, certificates, labels, food additives and microorganisms are the main unqualified reasons.

  These foods that are not allowed to enter the country come from 94 countries (regions), among which the top 10 sources by batch are the European Union, Japan, Taiwan, China, ASEAN, the United States, South Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, China, Russia and Canada, accounting for 88.1% of the total batches of foods that are not allowed to enter the country. Bi Kexin said that the unqualified food was returned or destroyed by the customs authorities in accordance with relevant regulations and did not enter the domestic market. Consumers can also visit official website of the General Administration of Customs for relevant information.

  At Qingdao Port, customs officers randomly sample imported frozen meat at any time according to a certain proportion, and conduct on-site inspection. The sampled goods should be checked one by one for container number, seal identification number, temperature record, packaging and identification, and check whether the information such as product name, quantity, specification, production enterprise registration number and production batch number are consistent with the information in the documents attached to the goods.

  China makes a sampling inspection plan for imported meat products every year, and generally requires dozens of items to be tested.

In 2017, China signed 44 import and export food safety cooperation agreements with major trading partners around the world.

How to transfer used cars? Please remember the following process.

  Buying is common in most countries, but it is still new in China. Last year, the United States sold about 39 million vehicles and 17 million vehicles. In China, it’s just the opposite: 29 million, only 12 million.

  

  There is a reason for this phenomenon in China automobile market. In the past, low-quality manufacturing limited the life of domestic cars, and potential buyers could hardly determine the owner and the accident history of the car. The industry is highly dispersed and has a bad reputation.

  However, all this is changing.Many domestic cars can now compete with global quality standards. The government has begun to lift the restrictions on cross-provincial sales, at the same time, consumers are also dispelling their concerns and realizing that buying is more cost-effective. It can be said that the future will only get bigger and bigger, and more and more people will buy it.

  What we are going to talk about below is how to transfer the ownership, and collect it in case it is used one day.

  Materials to be prepared for transfer

  Matters needing attention in signing transfer contract

  Clarify related matters

  When signing the transfer contract, we should pay attention to the words in the contract, such as the liability for breach of contract and related formalities. In addition, the related matters determined by the buyer and the seller during the transaction should be reflected in the contract in writing.

  Changes in relevant procedures

  For the change of insurance procedures, it is stipulated that "if the risk degree is significantly increased due to the transfer of the subject matter insured, the insurance company may increase the insurance premium or terminate the contract in accordance with the contract within 30 days from the date of receiving the notice. If the insured and the transferee fail to fulfill the prescribed notification obligations, the insurance company will not be liable for compensation for the insurance accident that occurs due to the significant increase in the risk of the subject matter insured due to the transfer. " That is to say, if the buyer does not change the insurance procedures of the vehicle, it will cause difficulties in insurance compensation.

  

  Summary:

  Many manufacturers have launched certified plans, and Internet services are rapidly proliferating. Last year, Chinese bought 1.3 million vehicles through the Internet platform, which proved that it was gradually improving, and consumers should feel at ease.

Global News: Biden decides to run for re-election for Apple next year or will launch a variety of new products in June.

  On April 17th, last week, two important economic figures in the United States, CPI and PPI, showed that inflation was continuing to cool down, which boosted market sentiment, and US stocks recorded cumulative gains throughout the week. However, Friday’s retail sales data fell more than expected, indicating that the momentum of US economic growth has weakened, and the market is evaluating the risk of recession trading. And the next earnings season will also bring more tests to investors.

  Some analysts pointed out that the biggest factor affecting the US stock market in the coming week will be corporate earnings, which is particularly important considering the possibility of profit recession. However, judging from several banking stocks that took the lead last week, the performance has so far exceeded expectations.

  In addition, the market is still concerned about whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in May. Judging from the current market pricing, the final increase is a foregone conclusion. According to CME’s "Fed Watch", the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged in May is 21.5%, and the probability of raising interest rates by 25 basis points is 78.5%. The probability of maintaining interest rates at the current level by June is 15.8%, the probability of raising interest rates by 25 basis points is 63.4%, the probability of raising interest rates by 50 basis points is 20.8%, and the probability of lowering interest rates by 25 basis points is 0%.

  However, it is worth noting that there are continuous differences within the Fed. The directors believe that the effect of controlling inflation is minimal and it is necessary to continue to raise interest rates, while the chairman of the Chicago Fed calls for not being too radical. This shows that after the aggressive interest rate hike, officials are also concerned about inflation and economic prospects in the United States.
