How will the "triple pressure" affect our economy? What do you think of the 5.5% economic growth target set in this year’s (2022) Government Work Report? Where is the space and grasp for further improving labor productivity in China?

On March 9th, Bai Zhongen, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and dean of Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) on the above issues. He said that consumption and investment will see good growth this year, while the growth rate of foreign trade import and export affected by cardinal utility and other factors will decline. The pressure brought by demand contraction and supply shock will continue to exist, and the expected goals consistent with the national conditions should be set for the business development of enterprises.

Bai Zhongen pointed out that setting the economic growth target of 5.5% this year is very aggressive and challenging. He suggested that special attention should be paid to investment and investment projects should be selected. In addition, it is necessary to make precise policies and provide targeted financial and financial support to enterprises affected by factors such as the epidemic.

Regarding the space for improving labor productivity in China in the future, Bai Zhongen said, first of all, we should do a good job in education, especially the basic education of migrant workers’ children, promote enterprises to increase on-the-job training, and let employees create greater value. We should also smooth the flow of the labor market and improve the efficiency of labor resource allocation.

Investment and consumption may grow well, and the growth rate of foreign trade may decline.

The Central Economic Work Conference held last year (2021) pointed out that China’s economic development is facing the "triple pressure" of demand contraction, supply shock and expected weakening. Bai Zhongen said that the "triple pressure" accurately describes the current situation in China.

Talking about the shrinking demand, Bai Zhongen said after taking stock of the economic growth data in the past two years that the growth rate of consumption and investment is lower than that of GDP, and only the export performance is outstanding.

He believes that the performance of consumption this year depends largely on the development of the epidemic: if the epidemic can be well controlled, the impact on living consumption can be reduced, and the catering, accommodation, tourism, transportation and other industries can return to normal, compared with the low base in the previous two years, consumption may achieve better growth. Bai Zhongen also believes that the government-led investment can achieve a relatively rapid growth this year, despite the effective control of the epidemic. As for foreign trade, he said that it may be very difficult to achieve a growth rate of more than 20% this year. As global production gradually returns to normal, the growth rate of foreign trade will be slightly slower than before.

Talking about supply shocks, Bai Zhongen said that some supply shocks are still there. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has further raised the commodity prices that were already at a high level, which has brought great pressure on the production and operation of Chinese enterprises. At present, the pressure will continue to exist.

Talking about the expected weakening, Bai Zhongen pointed out that the economic growth potential of China at this stage is almost the GDP growth target of 5.5% set this year. It is unrealistic for some enterprises to hope to maintain an 8% growth rate as they did many years ago. They must accept the current development situation of China and adjust their realistic expected targets in time.

At the same time, many uncertainties faced by the external environment will also affect people’s expectations. In this regard, Bai Zhongen suggested that the formation and withdrawal of policies should allow the market more time to digest, and the general tone of "striving for progress while maintaining stability" proposed by the central government will help stabilize expectations.

5.5% is an aggressive growth target.

In 2022, the Government Work Report set the target of China’s economic growth rate at around 5.5% this year. For this goal, Bai Zhongen thinks it is a very aggressive growth goal.

"According to our research and the research of some other scholars, the current economic growth potential, that is to say, when everything goes well, our growth rate is about 5.5%." Bai Zhongen said that at present, China’s epidemic situation still occurs from time to time, and the global epidemic prevention and control is facing great uncertainty, and geopolitical conflicts have added new uncertainties. These have a negative impact on consumption growth, and uncertainty makes enterprises more cautious and unwilling to take risks when making investments.

"In such an external environment, it is actually a very challenging task to achieve a growth rate of 5.5%." Bai Zhongen said that at present, great efforts are needed to achieve this economic growth target, so the target of 5.5% is very aggressive.

Bai Zhongen said that last year’s economic growth showed a trend of high before and then low, which was partly caused by cardinal utility. In the first half of 2020, it was greatly affected by the epidemic, which contributed to the high growth in the first half of 2021. At the same time, in the first half of last year, the issuance speed of local special bonds and infrastructure investment was slow, and it began to accelerate in the second half of last year, which had a time lag effect on economic growth, so it showed a situation of high before and low after.

"This year, we all realized the arduousness of growth and set a target of 5.5%, which requires great efforts." Bai Zhongen said that because the special debt quota has been issued in advance, the growth rate of local government expenditure is increasing, and the investment growth rate has achieved rapid growth in the first quarter of this year. Regarding this year’s macroeconomic policy, he particularly emphasized that infrastructure investment and investment promoted by government organizations should play a certain role when all aspects are under great pressure, so we should pay special attention to investment and choose investment projects.

In addition, Bai Zhongen also talked about the tax reduction and fee reduction policy that will continue to be implemented this year. He said that the survival and development of many enterprises are facing great impact because of the impact of factors such as multi-point epidemic and rising commodity prices. It is necessary to find these enterprises, make precise policies, and provide targeted financial and financial support to enterprises.

To improve labor productivity, we must first do a good job in education.

In recent years, China’s total labor productivity has been continuously improved. In February this year, the Statistical Bulletin of People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s National Economic and Social Development in 2021 issued by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the labor productivity of all employees in China last year was 146,380 yuan/person, an increase of 8.7% over the previous year.

What room is there to further improve China’s labor productivity? In this regard, Bai Zhongen said that China is not the most developed country, and there is still a big gap between the per capita GDP and the most developed countries, so it has a certain advantage of being late-comer, so the total factor productivity will grow faster than that of developed countries, and the labor productivity will also increase accordingly.

Talking about how to tap the growth space, Bai Zhongen gave three suggestions.

First of all, we should do a good job in education. He said that the growth of human capital is very important for economic growth, in which human capital is divided into two parts: the quality of labor force and the number of labor force that can be put into production. Education level has a great relationship with people’s productivity. Under the current situation of China’s labor market, we should pay special attention to education, especially the basic education for the children of migrant workers. It is necessary to fill the shortcomings and weaknesses in education, increase investment and give better education to the children of migrant workers.

Furthermore, there is still room for improvement in the efficiency of labor resource allocation, especially in the labor market. For example, he said that the development trend of one industry is declining, and another industry has just started, so the labor force should be transferred from the first industry to the second industry. Bai Zhongen suggested that the free flow of labor force should be unblocked to make the labor market run better.

In addition, enterprises should also make efforts to better provide learning opportunities for employees. We should consider making some institutional arrangements to encourage enterprises to provide employees with learning and further education arrangements, enhance the motivation of enterprises to provide skills training and on-the-job learning, and enable employees to become workers who can bring greater value.

Hailing, Jiangsu Province: Promoting the "source of litigation" to deal with property disputes has dropped by more than 80%

  The emergence of a large number of property disputes in urban residential quarters has become one of the important sources of group disputes at the grassroots level in cities, which puts forward a new topic for political and legal organs on how to further improve the ability of urban social governance.

  The reporter of "Legal Daily" recently learned in an interview in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province that only in Hailing District, the core city with a population of 550,000, various factors lead to the superposition of property disputes, showing the trend of complaints to administrative organs, a large number of court cases increasing year by year, and group disputes happening from time to time.

  Since February this year, the Hailing District People’s Court has established a "3+1" property dispute mediation mechanism in cooperation with the Housing and Construction Bureau, the Town Street (Park) and the Residence (Village) Committee, which has grasped the key points of diversified solutions to property disputes. "We insist on putting the non-litigation dispute resolution mechanism in the front, creating a new mode of joint judicial and administrative resolution of property disputes, and achieved good results. In the first half of this year, there were only 45 litigation cases in court, a decrease of 84.32% compared with 287 cases in the same period in 2018. " Jiang Wei, Party Secretary and President of Hailing District Court, introduced.

  A research report inspires new ideas of common governance and win-win situation

  Urban property disputes are not only a livelihood issue, but also a social governance issue.

  As early as November 2017, the Hailing District Court comprehensively sorted out and summarized the continuous high growth of property disputes in recent years, and formed the Trial Report on Property Disputes in Hailing District (2013-2017).

  According to the report, from January 2013 to October 2017, the hospital accepted 1,936 cases involving property disputes, and the number of cases received increased from 197 in 2013 to 610 in the first three quarters of 2017 alone. The report also sorts out six trial characteristics: small litigation object, diverse forms of disputes, difficulties for owners to prove, and high failure rate of owners. Among them, the cases of property service enterprises recovering property service fees became a batch lawsuit, and the reasons why owners failed to pay property fees on time were mostly due to inadequate public management and untimely, incomplete and irregular services provided by property service enterprises.

  Although the amount of property disputes is small, once a large number of cases are brought to court, it will often lead to owners’ dissatisfaction with property service companies, which will further aggravate the contradictions between the two sides. In some communities, owners even jointly request to change property companies. In 2018 alone, the District Housing and Construction Bureau accepted as many as 5,000 complaints about property disputes, and there were nearly 10 group disputes caused by property disputes, accounting for more than 10% of all civil and commercial cases in Hailing Court. Liu Zongkai, a member of the party group and vice president of Hailing District Court, believes that court trial is only a palliative, and strengthening source governance through joint administrative organs and grassroots organizations is the fundamental solution. Only by establishing litigation and non-litigation resolution mechanism can we treat both the symptoms and root causes and truly promote the harmony and stability of the community.

  It is understood that after the relevant investigation report of Hailing District Court received the attention of the leaders of the district party committee and the district government, Xiao Liulin, the deputy head of the district, specifically asked the Housing and Construction Bureau to seriously study, actively dock with the court, and come up with specific measures to resolve contradictions before litigation.

  Judicial cooperation with administration to create a new model of diversified solutions

  Under the guidance and promotion of the Hailing District Court, it has jointly issued with the District Housing and Construction Bureau the Implementation Opinions on Joint Resolution of Property Disputes and the Code of Practice for Administrative Mediation of Property Disputes, etc., and comprehensively constructed a "3+1" mechanism for mediation of property conflicts between residential (village) committees, towns and streets (parks), housing and construction departments and judicial trials, so as to achieve layered diversion and step-by-step resolution of contradictions and disputes, and ensure that minor problems do not leave the community.

  On June 25 this year, after more than three months of trial operation, Hailing District Property Dispute Mediation Center was formally established, and the District Housing and Construction Bureau sent two full-time mediators to be responsible for the administrative mediation of property disputes in the whole region. At the same time, 146 community mediators were selected in the whole district to mediate property disputes in their communities in time. Complex disputes that cannot be mediated by grass-roots mediators shall be transferred to the mediation center for joint mediation by full-time mediators and courts, and those that still cannot be mediated shall be transferred to proceedings.

  "Administrative mediators are familiar with the property management of each community. The mediation scheme they provide is more in line with the objective reality, and even some problems left by developers can be solved by the way. Such mediation can often be done, and both parties can be satisfied. " Judge Gong Xiqin, the property dispute trial team of Hailing District Court, said.

  "Under the guidance of the judge, we have successfully mediated 161 property disputes since the mediation studio was in operation for three months, and only 20 of them finally entered the proceedings." Yuan Ruiqin, the mediator, said, "In the process of mediation, we also grasped the focus and problems of property conflicts in various communities, which provided effective information for the Housing and Construction Bureau to carry out administrative work and improved the accuracy and effectiveness of the work."

  "The establishment of the center is also the first in the whole province. This is a new measure for the benign interaction between the government and the hospital in the new era. It can effectively integrate the administrative and judicial forces, solve the contradictions and disputes in property management in a diversified way, and achieve reconciliation, harmony and the rule of law." Zhang Zhaoyang, deputy secretary of Hailing District Committee, said.

  Insist on people-oriented and establish a new mechanism of source governance

  It is understood that the Hailing District Court put forward the concept of "people-oriented, source governance" to the district party committee and district government, and suggested standardizing property management behavior, reducing contradictions from the source, fundamentally resolving contradictions, and speeding up the construction of the social governance first good area and the people’s livelihood happiness pilot area.

  According to this suggestion, the Hailing District Party Committee and District Government promulgated the Ten Norms for Property Management in Hailing District, Detailed Rules for Standardized Assessment of Property Management, Pilot Work Plan of Party Construction and Property Management, Relevant Publicity Measures for Property Management Areas, and Work Plan for Audit of Property Fees, thus forming a new pattern of multi-integration, such as grass-roots organization leading by Party construction, open and transparent service finance, autonomous management of community owners, inspection and evaluation of housing and construction departments, diversified solution of contradictions and disputes, and full guarantee of judicial services.

  "In Loudaokou, you can see the service standards, service contents and charging standards publicized on the wall, so that we can consume clearly." Grandma Wang, the owner of Hanlin Yaju Community, praised. "Standardization of property management is a good measure to really make enterprises bigger and stronger. With the owners’ grievances gone, it is not difficult for us to collect property fees." Manager Wang, the person in charge of Yintai Property, said.

  "On the basis of promoting the openness and transparency of services, we have established a property service ‘ Red and black list ’ Evaluation mechanism, in ‘ Blacklist ’ Property companies that have appeared more than three times in the world will be interviewed for rectification. For property companies that have not changed their education, the street owners’ meeting will start the exit procedure of property projects to ensure that property companies provide quality services in accordance with the contract. " Mao Songyun, director of the District Property Management Office, introduced.

  In order to support administrative organs to mediate property disputes in accordance with the law, Hailing Court has given full play to its judicial function, and formulated and promulgated the Guide to the Trial of Property Dispute Litigation Cases, which uses the evaluation results of administrative organs on the service quality of property service enterprises as evidence, clarifies the frequently controversial clauses in property service contracts, effectively solves the problem of "difficulty in proof" of owners and the understanding scale of mediators in administrative mediation, and realizes the seamless connection between administrative management and judicial trial.

  "With the promotion, support and guarantee of Hailing Court, we have more motivation and confidence to carry out administrative work, and the new property management mechanism can be successfully constructed." Liu Fei, deputy director of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Hailing District, said that the complaint rate of owners dropped by nearly 20% year-on-year, and the collection rate of property fees increased by 10%.

  "The new model of the source management of property disputes in Hailing District Court not only lightens the litigation burden of the parties, but also makes the people have more sense of gain, reduces social contradictions, maintains the harmony and stability of the grassroots, and makes contributions to improving the level of urban social governance." Xu Zhilun, member of the Standing Committee of Hailing District Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, said. (Reporter Ding Guofeng correspondent Xiao Chen Wu Jiazhen)

Equation Leopard Titanium 3 is about to go on the market, pure electric high value, and the square box will explode again?

China’s auto market is so rampant that no corner can be immune to it. Recently, with the intensive exposure of Equation Leopard, the pattern of hard-core off-road market has also begun to brew new changes. Although the so-called hard-core off-road has been replaced by a formalized square box, as a personalized and fashionable market segment, it is still a growth point that can’t be ignored on the road of new energy for automobiles in China. Although the cake is not very big, it is still indispensable.

Hard-core cross-country domestic brands are divided into three parts.

In the current so-called hard-core off-road market, the Great Wall is still a monopoly, after all, it has the advantages of off-road family and first Mover. When the Haval series gradually declined, the tank series kept the leading position in the market segment for the Great Wall, and then the big dog series transplanted with the concept of "square box" also brought a turning point for the Haval brand. It can be said that the hard-core off-road and square box have saved the face of Great Wall Motor.

Tank 300

According to the latest monthly sales data, tank series vehicles occupy the mainstream share of the hard-core off-road market, of which the sales volume in November was 5,397, the monthly sales volume in November was 5,216, and the monthly sales volume in November was 4,790. The monthly sales volume of the three models was basically the same, and the price range spanned 19.98-345 thousand yuan. At the same time, the sales volume of the main box concept in November was 15,376, and the sales volume of the Haval Raptors in November was 11,012. The price of the former is 98,900-124,900 yuan, and the price of the latter is 157,800-188,800 yuan.

Leopard 5

The Great Wall has gained a lot in the hard-core off-road market, and it will inevitably attract chasing and intercepting. The biggest fanfare is BYD. At present, BYD’s main hard-core off-road concept is to look up to the brand and Equation Leopard brand, among which Equation Leopard brand has begun to take shape in terms of sales volume. In November, the sales volume of Equation Leopard reached 6,058, and the monthly sales volume of Equation Leopard just listed reached 2,463. The price range of Leopard 5 was 239,800-302,800 yuan. Compared with the tank 300 with the same price, its market performance has been very eye-catching.

BJ30

In this market segment, there is also a real old gun-Beijing Automobile. As the originator of China’s hard-core cross-country, Beijing Automobile currently owns four mass-produced models, including BJ30, BJ40, BJ60 and BJ80, among which the newly launched model has won market recognition with outstanding cost performance. In November, the sales volume of BJ30 was 6,756 and that of BJ40 was 3,993.

In terms of product layout and vehicle sales, Great Wall, BYD and BAIC have initially formed a three-point world situation in the current hard-core square box market, but this situation is unstable and more variables may appear in 2025.

Value-oriented electrification promotes market change

With the transformation of new energy sources in China, even the hard-core off-road market, which is extremely personalized, has undergone drastic changes. The so-called hard-core is formalized, and light off-road, square box and new energy have become the main selling points. Therefore, the threshold for entering this market segment is getting lower and lower, which means that more brands and products will enter this market segment.

Tank 400

In addition to emphasizing the square box identification of appearance, new energy and intelligence have become the mainstream development direction. In addition to the tank 300, the tank series are all equipped with the Hi4-T off-road super hybrid system, and the Equation Leopard series models are all equipped with the DMO super hybrid off-road platform. Even for Beijing Auto, the BJ series has been launched with the magic nuclear power drive version.

Hard-core cross-country used to be an area for high-end players, so the price was on the high side. With the addition of China brand, the price of hard-core cross-country vehicles has gradually declined, and the price and sales volume are obviously inversely proportional. At present, the price of high-end hard-core off-road vehicles is about 300,000 yuan, while the price is about 100,000 yuan. The square box that only sells the appearance is especially popular with consumers. For example, the starting price of Haval Dog is 98,900 yuan, and the monthly sales volume exceeds 15,000.

ICAR

Therefore, under the big pattern of new energy reform, more products will enter the low-end hard-core off-road market, and the main selling points are still the personalized square box appearance and the new energy and intelligence of China brand. Chery’s iCAR brand is obviously aimed at carving up this cake. The starting price of pure electric drive is 109,800 yuan, and the sales volume in November is 4,719 vehicles, so the starting price is 99,800 yuan, and the price threshold is further lowered. Although Chery has not yet become a climate in this market segment, it is still ambitious in terms of its product strategy.

Titanium 3

Of course, BYD is still the biggest threat to Great Wall’s leading position. Equation Leopard brand has frequently exposed Equation Leopard Titanium 3 in the near future, and this model may bring great variables to the market segment in 2025. Judging from the information known at present, Titanium 3 is a compact pure electric SUV, which continues the tough appearance of Equus. Pure electric drive brings excellent power performance, while L2 intelligent assisted driving and exclusive drone platform have become the outstanding selling points of Titanium 3 in its class. It is reported that titanium 3 is expected to be listed before June 2025, and the estimated price is 150,000-200,000 yuan.

Write it at the end

If time goes back ten or even five years, when it comes to hard-core off-road, Mercedes-Benz G, Land Rover, and will inevitably be mentioned. However, at present, this position has been gradually replaced by tanks and Equation Leopard. Although the popularity and popularity have made hard-core off-road tend to be formalized, this does not prevent more consumers and brands from enjoying it. After all, in the current automobile market, sales volume is more important than tonality.

Cross-border e-commerce ecosystem accelerates the construction of enterprises "going out to sea" and expands new channel stations to the international "C position"

  CCTV News:In layman’s terms, cross-border e-commerce means "buying" and "selling" the world online.

  Expanding cross-border e-commerce exports and cultivating new kinetic energy of foreign trade

  Cross-border e-commerce, as a new foreign trade format with the fastest development, the greatest potential and the strongest driving effect, is becoming an important development trend of international trade. All localities are also introducing affordable policies, increasing support and seizing this new opportunity.

  Shanghai supports the joint construction and sharing of overseas warehouses, and encourages small and medium-sized enterprises of cross-border e-commerce to rent overseas warehouses to "go out to sea"; Chengdu took out "real money and silver" to attract cross-border e-commerce "chain owners" enterprises; Hangzhou encourages cross-border e-commerce enterprises to strengthen intellectual property protection; Suzhou encourages all localities to develop cross-border e-commerce industry organizations and supports the establishment of different forms of industry groups.

  Policy support, accelerated layout of upstream and downstream enterprises, and cross-border e-commerce "going out to sea" continue to expand new channels.

(New Year’s experience) Reunion of Taiwan Province youth Spring Festival: I hope cross-strait exchanges will be smoother

  China news agency, Beijing, January 28 th: Reunion of Taiwan Province youth Spring Festival: I hope cross-strait exchanges will be smoother

  China News Service reporter Zhang Xiaotong

  This year’s Lunar New Year is a reunion year that many people have been looking forward to for a long time. Taiwan Province youths who have worked hard in the mainland for many years have returned to Taiwan for the New Year and reunited with their relatives and friends. In an interview with a reporter from China News Service, they expressed their expectation that cross-strait exchanges will be smoother and more convenient in the future.

  Zhang Yuzhong: Reunion with family and tasting hometown food

  Zhang Yuzhong, from Taichung, Taiwan Province, is a "drifting north" youth. Two years ago, due to the epidemic, he stayed in Beijing for the Spring Festival. This year, he finally had the opportunity to return home to reunite with his family.

  "We will post Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, send red envelopes, and go to the temple for a walk, but the New Year’s Eve may be a little different. For example, in Taiwan Province, we will eat a dish called mullet roe, which is a unique food." Zhang Yuzhong said that during the Chinese New Year in Beijing, he would also have an appointment to eat Taiwanese food with friends, but the feeling of returning to his hometown to taste local food is still irreplaceable.

  On New Year’s Eve, Zhang Yuzhong had dinner with relatives and friends at home and enjoyed a hard-won reunion. During the Spring Festival holiday, he traveled with his family. "Actually, I want to stay at home longer, but my mother is a little ‘ Be in a panic ’ Then go out for a walk together. "

  In Zhang Yuzhong’s view, this year’s Spring Festival is particularly strong and has a sense of "global Chinese reunion". Not only did he fly back to Taiwan Province from the mainland, but many of his childhood friends also returned to their hometown for the New Year from the United States, Canada or other places, so it was rare for everyone to get together.

  "It feels really different, plus the weather in Taiwan Province is very good, and everyone gets together and the atmosphere is great." He said that after the holiday, he would stay in Taiwan Province for a while, and then he would return to the mainland to continue his work. "I hope the flight will be smoother then," he said.

  Guo Xueyun: I found interesting differences in wrapping red envelopes for my parents

  Guo Xueyun, a "Taipei girl", finally returned to her family this year after several years of Spring Festival in Beijing. "It is always very happy to see my family, which is a familiar feeling. I will also go to see what convenience stores are selling in Taiwan Province and what restaurants are popular now."

  Guo Xueyun’s flight back to Taiwan Province during the Chinese New Year was generally smooth, but because many Taiwan Province friends who worked in the mainland chose to go back to Taiwan for the Chinese New Year, the price of flights between the two sides was higher.

  "Because my family is not a very traditional family, that is, everyone has a meal on New Year’s Eve." Guo Xueyun said, however, this year she specially wrapped a red envelope for her parents to show her filial piety.

  "I found it very interesting that in Taiwan Province, we would give red envelopes to our parents, but it seems that this is not the case in mainland China." She also communicated with her friends and found that it is a common practice in Taiwan Province to wrap red envelopes for others after work, and to express her feelings to the elders. However, in mainland China, red envelopes seem to be mostly given to the younger generation.

  Guo Xuejun also said that there is a strong atmosphere of Chinese New Year in Taiwan Province. During the Spring Festival, many shops are closed, there are many firecrackers outside, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is more abundant than usual.

  She also observed some changes, including meeting more people talking about their work and life in the mainland on the street, and visiting the night market will also find vendors selling mainland snacks.

  After the holiday, Guo Xueyun will return to Beijing. "Cross-strait relations are very close, so the demand for exchanges is also high." She said that she hopes that there will be more opportunities for young people to communicate with each other in the future, and that there will be more flights to make it convenient for everyone to travel and go home.

  Huang Baixiang: I hope that the warm Spring Festival will be smooth.

  Huang Baixiang, who works in financial leasing in Beijing, returned to his hometown of Kaohsiung in the New Year. He is very excited. "I am working in the mainland, and I am very happy to come back to see my parents and experience the taste of Taiwan Province. My family is also very happy to see me."

  "The weather in southern Taiwan Province is warmer and the annual flavor is very strong. I will go to the temple during the New Year ‘ Bye bye ’ Wait. Like my family, I will also have dinner together and watch TV programs. In fact, it is quite similar to the mainland. " Huang Baixiang said.

  Besides reuniting with his family, Huang Baixiang also met many old friends when he returned to Taiwan Province this time. "Many friends in Taiwan Province are asking when they can go to the mainland, including travel, work, etc. I see that many people are looking forward to cross-strait exchanges." He said.

  Huang Baixiang also told reporters that the flight back to Taiwan Province was more tense and the ticket price was higher than before, but the ticket purchase process was smooth. "I hope that more flights can be opened in the future to facilitate the round-trip between the two sides. It is always a good thing to communicate and communicate more conveniently. "

  During the Qingming holiday, the camping economy continued to be hot, and all kinds of new equipment came into being to meet the diverse needs of different tourists. From convenient "bag camping" leasing to convenient fast-throwing tents, the consumption format and equipment upgrading trend of camping market is obvious.

  In Linjiang Strip Park near the Pearl River in Guangzhou, many citizens set up tents, spread meals and enjoy the spring scenery, which is very pleasant.

  Near the park, there are many rental points that provide camping equipment rental services.

  In the outdoor goods store, the new product "2 seconds quick opening" fast throwing tent has attracted the attention of many consumers.

  Zhejiang is the main tent production base in China. In the production workshop in Shangyu District, Shaoxing City, the new production line that has just been put into operation is working in an orderly and tense manner.

  Tents with high cost performance and strange shapes are welcomed by beginners, while tents with full sense of technology and adapting to different climate and geographical conditions are the choice of advanced players.

  Internet sales platform data show that since March, the turnover of camping tents has increased by 240%, the turnover of shower tents has increased by 150%, and the turnover of three-in-one awning automatic tents has increased by 700%.

  Lightweight equipment with high cycling heat is favored.

  Among the popular outdoor activities during the holidays, besides camping, there are also cycling trips. With the emergence of professional and novel equipment, the riding scenes are becoming more and more abundant and the audience is becoming wider and wider. The data shows that the turnover of cycling clothes, youth bicycles and other equipment has increased significantly. The combination of self-driving and cycling provides more exploration space for cycling enthusiasts.

  In Kunming, Yunnan, it’s just the right time to enjoy spring riding around Dianchi Lake.

  Wearing quick-drying clothes, safety helmets, riding glasses and shoes locks, with the blessing of these professional equipment, riding around Yunnan for more than 100 kilometers, for this group of professional cycling enthusiasts, only needs 3-mdash; Four hours.

  As a fitness and sightseeing activity, the cycling route is not limited to the periphery of the city, and the "4+2" travel mode of combining four-wheeled cars with two-wheeled bicycles is becoming popular.

  The rise of folding bicycles has also allowed more people to join the lightweight cycling team. Upgrading the transmission system and braking system can also greatly improve the riding performance experience.

  Internet sales platform data show that since March, the turnover of cycling clothes has increased by 160% year-on-year, and the turnover of youth bicycles has increased by 260% year-on-year.

  The consumption of traditional business district is booming, and the new experience of characteristic blocks

  During the Qingming holiday, a large number of tourists were welcomed in business circles all over the country, and consumption continued to heat up. According to Shanghai Tourism Big Data Monitoring, during the Qingming holiday, Shanghai received a total of 6.641 million tourists, and the total amount of all-factor tourism consumption transactions including food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping and entertainment in Shanghai was 10.68 billion yuan.

  In the past two days, the traditional business districts such as Nanjing Road and Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai have ushered in the peak of passenger flow, and the "time-honored" restaurants are especially favored by tourists and consumers. The sales of a key shopping mall in Nanjing Road exceeded 17.2 million yuan in the first two days of the holiday, and the single-day passenger flow increased by about 74% compared with the holiday period in 2023.

  In addition to popular scenic spots and traditional business districts, many characteristic blocks in Shanghai have launched special activities around different themes. In Daxue Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai, an art installation exhibition combining oil painting and floral art was created with the background of art painting and flower market. At the same time, the introduction of flower green plants, artistic originality, lifestyle and other formats added new experiences to tourists.

  Night Changsha fire "out of the circle" accounts for 70% of night consumption

  As night falls, the lights are on, and the May 1 business district in Tianxin District of Changsha City is full of excitement. In the "huang xing road pedestrian street" in the May 1 business district, tourists can not only shop, but also taste Changsha specialty snacks such as crayfish, stinky tofu and fried sausages.

  Two days before the Qingming holiday, the cumulative passenger flow in the Wuyi business circle in Changsha, Hunan Province exceeded 1.9 million, of which night consumption accounted for about 70% of the total consumption throughout the day.

  Car rental consumption is favored, and orders for Qingming holiday have increased greatly.

  When traveling during holidays, many people choose to fly and take the high-speed train to their destinations, and then play in the local area by renting a car and driving by car. This relaxed and convenient way of traveling is more and more favored by consumers.

  Around Nanjing Lukou Airport, Nanjing South Railway Station and other places, the daily rent of the cheapest model is about 100 yuan. It is very common for passengers to rent a car and travel by car immediately after leaving the airport and high-speed railway station.

  In the underground parking lot of Nanjing Railway Station, many passengers got off the train and went to the car rental station to pick up their cars. According to the staff, after the customer places an order on the mobile phone through a small program, they will prepare all the handover procedures of the vehicle in advance. After the guests arrive, they can check the vehicle information in person and drive away.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin held a regular press conference on May 12, 2023.

At the invitation of State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang, Sierra Leonean Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Francis will pay an official visit to China from May 15th to 18th.

Agence France-Presse: According to official reports, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee, had a meeting with Sullivan, assistant to the President of the United States, for more than eight hours, but only two short statements were issued. I have two questions: first, does this mean that the two sides have failed to reach an agreement on any key issues? Second, have the two sides discussed the possibility of holding a higher-level meeting during the upcoming G-7 summit?

Wang Wenbin: Regarding the meeting between Director Wang Yi and Sullivan, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Affairs, China has released a press release. On May 10th and 11th, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee, met with Sullivan, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Affairs. The two sides held frank, in-depth, substantive and constructive discussions on promoting Sino-US relations to remove obstacles, stop falling and stabilize. Wang Yi comprehensively expounded China’s solemn position on the Taiwan Province issue. The two sides also exchanged views on the Asia-Pacific situation, Ukraine and other international and regional issues of common concern. Both sides agreed to continue to make good use of this strategic communication channel.

Xinhua News Agency: China has announced that Eritrean President Isaias will visit China. Can you tell us about the visit arrangements and China’s expectations? How does China view the current Sino-Eritrean relations?

Wang Wenbin: Eritrea is an important country in the Horn of Africa. China and Ecuador are traditionally friendly. In 2022, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader and President Isaias jointly decided to upgrade China-Ecuador relations to a strategic partnership. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Ecuador. At present, political mutual trust between the two countries continues to deepen, pragmatic cooperation has yielded fruitful results, and close communication and cooperation have been maintained in international and regional affairs.

During President Isaias’ visit to China, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader will hold a welcoming ceremony and banquet for President Isaias, and the two heads of state will hold talks. Premier Li Qiang will meet with President Isaias. It is believed that President Isaias’ visit will inject new impetus into the all-round and in-depth development of China-Ecuador relations and promote the continuous progress of friendly cooperation between the two countries.

TASS news agency reporter: The EU Asia-Pacific Ministerial Forum will be held in Stockholm, Sweden on May 13th. It is reported that the forum includes not only green and inclusive development, but also Russian-related issues. Will State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang attend?

Wang Wenbin: Asia-Pacific is a hot spot for cooperation and development, not a geopolitical chess game. Any regional cooperation framework should conform to the trend of peace and development, enhance mutual trust and cooperation among regional countries, and embody openness, transparency and tolerance, instead of clinging to outdated Cold War mentality and drawing ideological lines to provoke division and confrontation.

China News Service reporter: It is reported that China and the United States recently held a ceremony to return the cultural relics lost in China in new york. The United States returned two stone couches with a screen from the Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty in China. What is China’s comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: On the afternoon of May 9th, local time, authorized by National Cultural Heritage Administration, China, the Consulate General of China in new york held a handover ceremony with the Attorney’s Office of Manhattan District, new york, USA. The US handed over two important lost cultural relics from China to the China government. This is the fifth time that the functional departments of the US government have returned the lost cultural relics to China in recent years, which is another cooperation between the two countries in the field of cultural heritage. It is understood that after the ceremony, China has begun to arrange related matters of cultural relics return.

China has always been committed to cracking down on and preventing the smuggling of cultural relics and protecting the common cultural heritage of mankind by expanding intergovernmental cooperation. We are willing to work with all countries in the world, including the United States, to further increase exchanges and cooperation in the field of cultural heritage protection.

Reuters reporter: Can you confirm that Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye will be recalled on May 15th?

Wang Wenbin: What you mentioned is false news.

People’s Daily reporter: We have noticed that the Bruggaier Institute, a European think tank, recently released a report saying that the "Belt and Road Initiative" has withstood multiple challenges and tests in the past decade and has been widely praised around the world, especially in developing countries. What is China’s comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: We have taken note of the relevant report you mentioned. The report extracts data from mainstream media reports in nearly 150 countries, and on this basis, makes a quantitative analysis of the attention and emotional orientation of global public opinion on the "Belt and Road". According to the report, most regions in the world hold a very positive view of China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

The key to the popularity of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader is to always adhere to the principle of mutual consultation, joint construction and sharing. China has never imposed its own ideas on others, let alone smuggled geopolitical goods. As an open and inclusive platform for international cooperation, the Belt and Road Initiative promotes not the kind of globalization that only serves a few countries, but a more inclusive, inclusive and balanced global common development. In the face of facts, any lies and fallacies that discredit the "Belt and Road Initiative" and China’s cooperation with the co-construction countries will be shattered.

China will hold the third "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum this year. We will take this opportunity to work with the international community to sum up experience and draw a blueprint, continuously improve the level of building the "Belt and Road" with high quality, inject new kinetic energy and convey new hope for the world economic recovery and global sustainable development.

CCTV reporter: China has previously announced that it will send a special representative of the China government for Eurasian affairs to visit Ukraine and other countries. Can the spokesman elaborate on the situation?

Wang Wenbin: From May 15th, Ambassador AARON Li, Special Representative of the China Government for Eurasian Affairs, will visit Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany and Russia to communicate with all parties on the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

Since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, China has always adhered to an objective and fair position and actively persuaded peace and promoted talks. The "four shoulds", "four commonalities" and "three thoughts" put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader are the fundamental follow-up for China to deal with the Ukrainian issue. On this basis, China issued the document "China’s Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukrainian Crisis", which embodies the above-mentioned core ideas, absorbs the legitimate concerns of all parties and has been widely understood and recognized by the international community. The visit of Chinese representatives to relevant countries is another manifestation of China’s commitment to persuading peace and promoting talks, which fully shows that China firmly stands on the side of peace.

At present, the Ukrainian crisis is still escalating, and the spillover effect continues to appear. The international community is increasingly calling for a ceasefire and easing the situation. China is willing to continue to play a constructive role, build more international consensus on ceasing fire, starting peace talks and avoiding escalation of the situation, so as to make China contribution to the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

Reuters: Can you confirm that State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang will visit Australia in July?

Wang Wenbin: China and Australia maintain contact and communication at all levels. I have no information to offer about the matter you mentioned.

Beijing Daily reporter: State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang recently visited France. Can the spokesman brief us on the situation?

Wang Wenbin: On May 10th, local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang held talks with French Foreign Minister Collonna in Paris, and held consultations with the leaders of the high-level exchange mechanism between China and France. During the visit, State Councilor Qin Gang also met with Bona, foreign affairs adviser to the French President, and unveiled the "China House" in the Paris International University Town.

State Councilor Qin Gang said that President Macron’s state visit to China was a complete success. The two heads of state unanimously agreed to take the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France next year as an opportunity to comprehensively restart exchanges and cooperation in the fields of culture, education, science and technology, and push Sino-French relations to a new level. China is willing to work with France to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, accelerate exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and promote the continuous development of a close and lasting comprehensive strategic partnership between China and France.

State Councilor Qin Gang pointed out that China and France, as ancient countries with splendid civilizations, have the responsibility to promote mutual respect and tolerance among cultural civilizations, eliminate estrangement and prejudice, and sow the seeds of peace in the hearts of people all over the world. This is also the original intention of the Supreme Leader’s Chairman’s global civilization initiative. The two sides should make good use of the high-level exchange mechanism for other people’s languages, further deepen cultural exchanges between the two countries and enhance mutual understanding among the people. It is suggested that the two sides focus on promoting cooperation in sports, education, language, scientific and technological innovation and tourism.

State Councilor Qin Gang emphasized that China has always regarded Europe as a comprehensive strategic partner, supported Europe to strengthen its strategic autonomy and play an active role in the international arena, and advocated that China-EU relations should not be directed against, attached to or controlled by a third party. China, France and China should achieve win-win cooperation in expanding two-way opening up and build a more stable and mutual trust China-EU supply chain partnership.

French Foreign Minister Collonna said that France-China relations are of vital importance, and the two heads of state have made clear the direction. Both sides should make joint efforts to promote greater development of bilateral relations. It is suggested that the two sides comprehensively restart cooperation mechanisms in various fields. France is willing to work with China to plan the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. The French side attaches importance to its economic relations with China, believing that such relations are interdependent, mutually beneficial, complementary, open and transparent. The French side does not engage in camp confrontation and believes that all countries should live in harmony and develop together. China plays an important role in world peace and stability, and France is willing to strengthen communication with China on major international and regional issues and seek more common ground.

China Journal reporter: Not long ago, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress passed the "China is not a developing country bill", demanding that the United States and the State Council exert influence on international organizations to cancel China’s status as a developing country. Recently, the United States will propose another resolution to oppose China’s status as a developing country in the WTO. Some commentators believe that this move by the United States is to put its domestic law above international law in order to suppress and contain China. What is the spokesman’s response to this?

Wang Wenbin: China is recognized by all as the largest developing country. The United States wants to send China a "developed country" hat. Sorry, China can’t wear this hat.

As a developing country, China has sufficient factual basis. In 2022, China’s per capita GDP was US$ 12,741, which was 1/5 of that of developed economies and only 1/6 of that of the United States. In 2021, the per capita gross national income of China ranks 68th in the world, and the human development index ranks 79th in the world, which is equivalent to that of major developing countries.

China is a developing country with a solid foundation in international law. China’s status as a developing country has been recognized by international treaties including the mechanism of the World Trade Organization, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, and has been accepted by the vast number of members of the international community. China’s status as a developing country cannot be denied.

For a long time, China has fought side by side with the developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America in the struggle for national liberation, and supported each other in the process of promoting national development, vividly explaining what a friend in need is. The two sides have long been a community of shared destiny. China will never join the "rich club" in the west, and will always work with developing countries to strive for common rights and safeguard common interests. As the Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out, China will always be a member of the big family of developing countries.

I would also like to emphasize that maintaining the status of a developing country is China’s legitimate right. China does not regard developing country status as a "shield" to evade international responsibilities or a "stepping stone" to obtain special preferential treatment, but actively makes more China contributions to promoting world peace and development. From 2013 to 2021, the average contribution rate of China to the world economic growth was 38.6%, which was higher than the sum of the contribution rates of the G7 countries. China took the lead in achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals, contributing more than 70% to world poverty reduction, and has become the second largest contributor to the UN and the second largest contributor to peacekeeping. In the WTO, the terms of special and differential treatment actually enjoyed by China are far below the average level of developing countries.

Whether China belongs to a developing country is not up to the United States. The United States has spread all kinds of false arguments and tried to deny China’s status as a developing country. Its real intention is nothing more than suppressing and containing China’s development space, making China shoulder the burden and responsibility, provoking friendly relations between China and developing countries, and interfering with and delaying the momentum of the group rise of developing countries. But China and the developing countries will not be taken in by the United States. China will firmly safeguard its status as a developing country, vigorously deepen solidarity and cooperation with developing countries, unswervingly strive to improve the representation and voice of developing countries in the international governance system, and firmly defend their legitimate rights and interests.

Hubei Radio and Television reporter: It is reported that Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng and NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg confirmed in media interviews that the two sides are holding consultations on NATO’s opening a liaison office in Japan. What is China’s comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: NATO has repeatedly stated publicly that its position as a regional alliance has not changed and it does not seek a geographical breakthrough. The Asia-Pacific region does not belong to the geographical category of the North Atlantic, and there is no need to establish an Asia-Pacific version of "NATO". However, NATO has continuously strengthened its relations with Asia-Pacific countries, persistently moved eastward into the Asia-Pacific region, intervened in regional affairs, and provoked camp confrontation. What is its intention? This has aroused the high vigilance of the international community, especially countries in the Asia-Pacific region. I hope that relevant parties will not undermine regional peace and stability by seeking so-called geographical interests.

At the same time, the outside world is also very concerned about whether Japan really wants to act as NATO’s "Asia-Pacific" Depth Charge. Asia is a highland of peace and stability, a hot spot for cooperation and development, and should not be a arena for geopolitical competition. Due to the history of modern militaristic aggression, Japan’s military security trend has always been concerned by Asian neighbors and the international community. We urge Japan to earnestly learn from the lessons of history, adhere to the path of peaceful development, and not do anything that undermines mutual trust among countries in the region and undermines regional peace and stability.

Reporter: According to reports, people familiar with the matter said that G7 member countries will announce a joint response to economic coercion in order to send a signal to China. What is China’s comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: When it comes to economic coercion, I’m afraid the United States is the first one who should be condemned. The United States has repeatedly generalized the concept of national security, abused export control measures, and adopted discriminatory and unfair practices against enterprises in other countries, which seriously violated the principles of market economy and fair competition.

According to media reports, from 2000 to 2021, US foreign sanctions increased by 933%. The Trump administration alone has implemented more than 3,900 sanctions in four years, which is equivalent to waving a "sanctions stick" three times a day on average. By fiscal year 2021, the United States has imposed more than 9,400 sanctions. The United States has imposed unilateral economic sanctions on nearly 40 countries in the world, affecting nearly half of the global population.

In fact, other members of the G-7 are not immune to the economic coercion and bullying of the United States. Toshiba in Japan, Siemens in Germany, Alstom in France and other enterprises have all been the targets of US suppression. If the G7 summit wants to put "dealing with economic coercion" on the agenda, I suggest that we can discuss what the United States has done first. When hosting the G7 Summit, can Japan express some concerns to the US on behalf of other member countries that are also bullied by the US? Or at least tell the truth?

China itself is a victim of economic coercion by the United States, and we have always resolutely opposed economic coercion by other countries. We urge the G-7 to conform to the trend of openness and tolerance, stop engaging in closed and exclusive "small circles" and stop being accomplices and accomplices in economic coercion.
