  Do individuals have to pay environmental taxes?

  The Environmental Protection Tax Law stipulates that enterprises, institutions and other producers and operators that directly discharge taxable pollutants into the environment in People’s Republic of China (PRC) and other sea areas under the jurisdiction of People’s Republic of China (PRC) are taxpayers of environmental protection tax, and they shall pay environmental protection tax in accordance with the provisions of this law.

  In other words, ordinary residents are not included in the scope of taxation and do not have to pay environmental taxes. According to local media reports, the responsible persons of tax authorities in Hebei, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places have made it clear that individual residents do not pay environmental protection tax.

  When do you start paying taxes?

  Zhongxin. com reporter learned from State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China that the first collection period of environmental protection tax will be around April next year, not to say that tax returns will be started after January 1st.

  In this regard, Shi Zhengwen, director of the Finance and Tax Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, pointed out in an interview that the environmental protection tax is "calculated on a monthly basis and declared quarterly", and the reporting period and the time when the specific tax obligation occurs are two different things.

  Shi Zhengwen said that the tax calculation began on January 1, but the declaration was from April 1 to 15. During this half-month period, enterprises had to declare their taxes.

  What pollutants are taxed?

  The Environmental Protection Tax Law clearly states that air pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste and noise are listed as taxable pollutants.

  Taxable air pollutants include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, chlorine gas, etc. Taxable water pollutants include total mercury, total cadmium, total lead, petroleum, animal and vegetable oils, formaldehyde, etc.

  It is worth noting that noise refers to industrial noise according to the Table of Items and Taxes of Environmental Protection Tax attached to the Environmental Protection Tax Law. This means that construction noise and traffic noise are not included in the scope of collection.

  According to the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution, environmental noise refers to the sound produced in industrial production, construction, transportation and social life that interferes with the surrounding living environment.

  Among them, industrial noise refers to the sound that interferes with the surrounding living environment when using fixed equipment in industrial production activities; Construction noise refers to the sound that interferes with the surrounding living environment during construction.

  How much do you pay?

  According to the Environmental Protection Tax Law, the amount of environmental protection tax has both an upper limit and a lower limit. The tax range of air pollutants is from 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and that of water pollutants is from 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan per pollution equivalent.

  Pollution equivalent refers to a comprehensive index or unit of measurement to measure the environmental pollution caused by different pollutants according to the harmful degree of pollutants or pollution discharge activities to the environment and the technical economy of treatment.

  For example, in terms of industrial noise, different decibels exceed the standard, and the monthly tax levied is different. For example, if it exceeds the standard by 1-3 decibels, 350 yuan will exceed the standard by more than 16 decibels per month, and it will cost 11,200 yuan per month.

  Is the tax payment standard the same everywhere?

  According to the Environmental Protection Tax Law, each province has certain discretion in the specific applicable tax amount of air pollutants and water pollutants. In other words, the specific tax payment standards may be different from place to place.

  "This is equivalent to giving local governments greater discretion," Shi Zhengwen said. "The Environmental Protection Tax Law mentions three factors, namely, the environmental carrying capacity of the local area, the current situation of pollutant discharge and the requirements of economic, social and ecological development goals. According to these three factors, local governments determine the specific applicable tax amount, which varies greatly among different provinces."

  Among them, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding provinces generally set higher taxes on air pollutants and water pollutants. The applicable tax amount of taxable air pollutants in Beijing is 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and the applicable tax amount of taxable water pollutants is 14 yuan per pollution equivalent, both of which are implemented according to the upper limit of tax range stipulated in the Environmental Protection Tax Law.

  Will it increase the burden on enterprises?

  The relevant person in charge of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that the environmental protection tax was jointly promoted by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation. According to the standard of "shifting taxes and fees", the past sewage charges were directly converted into environmental protection taxes. Of course, generally speaking, the design of policies is not aimed at collecting money, but mainly to stimulate the awareness of environmental protection and boost the consciousness of environmental protection.

  The person in charge of the Regulation Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that changing the sewage charges into environmental taxes is conducive to improving the rigidity of law enforcement, reducing local government intervention and internalizing environmental costs. Environmental protection tax is levied according to the amount of emissions, with more emissions and more payments, less emissions and less payments, which is conducive to promoting enterprises to improve their environmental protection level and reduce pollutant emissions.

  Does the environmental protection tax belong to the local government or the central government?

  On December 27th, the State Council issued the Notice on the Ownership of Environmental Protection Tax Revenue, which made it clear that environmental protection tax was local revenue.

  The circular pointed out that in order to promote the protection and improvement of the environment and increase investment in environmental protection, the State Council decided to use all environmental protection taxes as local income.

  The current sewage charges are divided between the central and local governments by 1: 9. Wang Jianfan, director of the Department of Taxation and Administration of the Ministry of Finance, pointed out earlier that in order to mobilize local enthusiasm, considering that local governments bear the main responsibility for pollution control, it is planned to take all environmental taxes as local income, and the central government will no longer participate in the sharing.

The three characteristics are advanced, pioneering and stable.

  At the beginning of 2017, the deep-seated impact left by the impact of the international financial crisis still exists, the economic recovery is weak, global trade and investment continue to be weak, and anti-globalization thoughts prevail … … It is at this time when the international community is generally worried and at a loss that China’s wisdom, like a bright lamp, continues to send out the strong voice of the times leading the direction of globalization and lead global governance.

  In Davos, the top leaders actively responded to the concerns of all parties at the opening ceremony of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, and profoundly answered major questions such as "What’s wrong with the world" and "What should we do", stressing that it is not feasible to reverse the historical trend of globalization, and engaging in protectionism is like putting yourself in a dark room, calling for joint efforts to create an innovation-driven growth model, an open and win-win cooperation model, a fair and reasonable governance model and a balanced and inclusive development model.

  "For the sake of peace, we must firmly establish a sense of community of human destiny. Prejudice and discrimination, hatred and war will only bring disaster and pain. Mutual respect, equality, peaceful development and common prosperity are the right path in the world. " In 2015, the Supreme Leader said so at the conference commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of Chinese people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the world anti-fascist war.

  Over the past year, China has continued to practice and promote world peace and development. Actively build a partnership of dialogue, non-confrontation, partnership and non-alignment, work together with other countries for lasting peace and universal prosperity, and become the mainstay of maintaining regional peace and stability.

  The guidance of the head of state is the key to the development of relations between major powers. Since the beginning of this year, President Xi and President Trump have met for three times and communicated by telephone for many times, which has played a strategic role in stabilizing this most complicated and important bilateral relationship in the world. Shortly after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed, President Trump paid a state visit to China.

In terms of Sino-Japanese relations, Japan took measures to improve its relations with China at the end of the year … …

  "The castle peak can’t be covered, after all, it flows east." This is a poem quoted by Foreign Minister Wang Yi when talking about the South China Sea issue. Since the beginning of this year, the situation in the South China Sea has slowed down. China and ASEAN countries have re-established a consensus on peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue and consultation between the countries concerned, and officially announced the initiation of consultations on the substantive text of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea. China and ASEAN countries have the ability to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea.

  In 2017, China also actively mediated around hot issues. Wang Yi concluded that on the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, China, proceeding from safeguarding the international nuclear non-proliferation system, maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula, adheres to the goal of denuclearization, persists in solving the problem through dialogue and negotiation, and fully implements the UN Security Council resolutions concerning the DPRK.

Tempered glass doors and windows have the risk of self-explosion, do you know?

  Tempered glass doors and windows have become a common material in many buildings, and many people will choose tempered glass doors to install in bathrooms and other places for home decoration, which is both beautiful and can realize the functions of dry and wet separation. However, it is such a material recognized by the public that it actually exploded! What’s going on here?

  The crackling of the bathroom at night

  In June 2018, Mr. Wu, a citizen who lives in Banqiao New Town, Yuhuatai District, ordered a bathroom tempered glass shower door at a merchant in the nearby building materials market, with a price of 5,000 yuan, and has been using it normally since then. At 10 o’clock on the evening of July 4, 2019, Mr. Wu’s family was watching TV in the living room after taking a shower. Suddenly there was a bang in the bathroom, followed by the sound of broken glass.

  Mr. Wu was shocked and quickly opened the bathroom door to check, and found that the shower door burst and the broken glass fell to the ground. On the one hand, Mr. Wu was glad that his family was not taking a bath when the explosion occurred, otherwise he would definitely be injured. On the other hand, he thought that the well-tempered glass had only been used for one year and suddenly "exploded". It must be that unscrupulous merchants sell unqualified tempered glass to themselves. So the next day, Mr. Wu called Yuhuatai District Market Supervision Administration 12315 to make a complaint.

  Self-exploding toughened glass door

  After receiving the complaint, the staff of Yuhuatai District Market Supervision Administration immediately contacted Mr. Wu and the merchants to understand the situation. The merchants said that all tempered glass was purchased from regular manufacturers. As for why the products suddenly exploded, they were not clear, only asking the manufacturers. Later, the staff contacted the tempered glass manufacturer by telephone. According to the explanation of the manufacturer’s technicians, tempered glass does explode itself, which is inevitable because of the production process of tempered glass itself. Especially in the shower room, the glass is unevenly heated and is more prone to bursting. Finally, under the coordination of the staff, the manufacturer promised to replace Mr. Wu with a new laminated glass shower door for free, which has a higher safety factor than traditional tempered glass.

  Because modern float glass production technology can’t completely eliminate the existence of nickel sulfide impurities, self-explosion of toughened glass is inevitable, which is the inherent characteristic of toughened glass. China’s current standard (GB 15763.2-2005) has no restrictions on the self-explosion rate of tempered glass for the time being. According to relevant data, the self-explosion rate of tempered glass in China is about three thousandths at present.

  Safety and explosion protection need to be cautious.

  Yuhuatai District Market Supervision Administration reminds consumers that the use of tempered glass is risky and should be used with caution when choosing home improvement. For consumers who have installed tempered glass, besides paying attention to safety in daily use, they can stick high-performance polyester film on the glass. Commonly known as safety explosion-proof membrane, when the glass is broken for various reasons, it can stick to the glass fragments to prevent splashing and protect people from the splashing glass fragments. Conditional citizens can also replace tempered glass with laminated glass. Laminated glass is made up of two pieces of glass glued together with film. Even if both pieces of glass burst, the glass particles will stick together, and generally there will be no injuries.

Read China for ten years | The scale of foreign trade has reached a new high and new breakthroughs have been continuously achieved.

  Since the beginning of this year, China’s foreign trade has withstood the pressure and shown strong resilience: in the first 11 months, the total import and export value of goods trade was 37.96 trillion yuan, achieving positive growth year-on-year for two consecutive months, and the stabilization trend continued to consolidate.

  As one of the "Troika" driving economic growth, foreign trade plays an important role in driving consumption, expanding employment and promoting economic growth.

  In 2018 and 2022, the scale of foreign trade has successively passed the 30 trillion yuan and 40 trillion yuan mark. Since 2017, it has maintained its position as the largest country in goods trade for six consecutive years, and the trade volume of goods with countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road" has increased by 8% annually & hellip; … Since the new era, China’s foreign trade development has continuously achieved new breakthroughs.

  "It is necessary to speed up the transition from a big trading country to a strong trading country, consolidate the traditional advantages of foreign trade, cultivate new competitive advantages, expand the development space of foreign trade and actively expand imports." On December 5, 2014, during the 19th collective study in the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary pointed out the direction for promoting the high-quality development of foreign trade.

  Since the new era, China’s position in global trade has improved significantly — —

  During the decade from 2013 to 2022, a series of data confirmed the solid pace of China’s foreign trade development: in 2020, the total trade in goods and services surpassed the United States for the first time and became the largest trading country in the world; The import and export scale of cross-border e-commerce in China has increased from 1 trillion yuan in 2018 to 2 trillion yuan in 2022, entering a period of rapid development; In 2022, the international market share of exports further increased to 14.7%, ranking first in the world for 14 consecutive years … …

  "The steadily expanding scale, continuously optimized structure and increasing international market share all confirm that the high-quality development of China’s foreign trade is fast and steady." Zhuang Rui, Executive Dean of university of international business and economics Institute of International Economics, said that China is advancing from a big trading country to a powerful trading country, which has provided strong support for stabilizing the macro-economic market.

  The quality and efficiency of China’s foreign trade have been continuously improved, and new kinetic energy has been continuously released — —

  The just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference clearly pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the cultivation of new kinetic energy of foreign trade, consolidate the basic disk of foreign trade and foreign capital, and expand intermediate trade, service trade, digital trade and cross-border e-commerce export.

  In recent years, the "new three kinds" represented by electric manned vehicles, solar cells and lithium batteries have become hot words in the field of foreign trade, and they are the representatives of accelerating the upgrading of foreign trade. In 2022, the export growth rate of China’s electric manned vehicles, solar cells, lithium batteries and other green and low-carbon products all exceeded 60%, and the new export kinetic energy grew rapidly.

  Since the new era, the vitality of China’s foreign trade entities has been effectively stimulated by accelerating reform and innovation, smoothing logistics channels, continuously optimizing the business environment at ports, and increasing support for small and medium-sized enterprises. In 2022, the number of foreign trade enterprises with import and export performance increased by 5.6% over the previous year. Among them, private enterprises gradually grew into the "main force" of foreign trade, accounting for more than half of the annual import and export scale for the first time, and contributing 80.8% to China’s foreign trade growth.

  China’s foreign trade "friend circle" has been further expanded — —

  In addition to maintaining close ties with traditional market trading partners, China is also actively exploring emerging markets such as ASEAN, Africa, Latin America and Central Asia. From 2013 to October 2023, the total import and export volume of China and the countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road" exceeded 21 trillion US dollars. Among them, in terms of RMB, China’s import and export to co-construction countries increased by 19.4% year-on-year in 2022, accounting for 32.9% of China’s total foreign trade value, up by 3.2 percentage points; Imports and exports to other member countries of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) increased by 7.5% year-on-year; Exports to Africa and Latin America increased by 14.8% and 14.1% respectively.

  Zhang Yu, director of the International Economic and Trade Research Office of the Institute of Finance and Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that while adhering to a high level of opening up, the effective implementation of RCEP and the continuous expansion of the "Belt and Road" and "friends circle" have opened up new space for deepening foreign trade development. In addition, international economic and trade events including Service Trade Fair, Consumer Expo, Canton Fair and China International Import Expo(CIIE) have also opened new channels for foreign trade transformation and upgrading.

  At present, the external environment is turbulent, economic factors and non-economic factors are intertwined, and China’s foreign trade development still faces many difficulties and challenges. In response to this situation, China has continuously strengthened top-level design and continuously improved its foreign trade policy system.

  The General Office of the State Council has successively issued a series of important documents, such as Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Innovative Development of Foreign Trade, Opinions on Promoting the Stable Scale and Excellent Structure of Foreign Trade, and Several Measures on Accelerating the Integrated Development of Domestic and Foreign Trade, which further clarified the path and direction for cultivating new formats, building a platform system, deepening reform and opening up, and creating a legalized, international and convenient trade environment.

  Zhuang Rui said: China’s foreign trade and industrial fields are constantly advancing in system innovation, scientific and technological innovation, mode innovation and format innovation. Under this background, it is very important to deepen the domestic market and explore the international market to further improve the quality and efficiency of foreign trade. Facing the complicated and severe international situation, China should give full play to the positive role of foreign trade in building a new development pattern and bring more warmth and dividends to the world economy.

In the photo of Yutu No.2, the Moon Palace "Yutu" accompanied you for the New Year.

CCTV News:This year is the Year of the Rabbit, and the fate of "Rabbit" and China in exploring space is really not shallow. Speaking of China’s lunar exploration, in the Chang ‘e project, the Yutu lunar rover brought us too many surprises.

On the occasion of the Lunar Year of the Rabbit, China’s lunar exploration space rabbit released its official Chinese and English names, namely "Rabbit Star" in Chinese and "To star" in English. "Rabbit Star" means "Jade Rabbit patrols the moon and sails the Milky Way". The lunar rover No.3 and No.4 in China is named "Jade Rabbit", and the name of "Rabbit Star" expresses its space characteristics and initial mission.

       The English name "To star" means that our journey is a sea of stars. The design of "Rabbit Star" itself embodies the integration of traditional culture and space science and technology, entrusts the Chinese nation’s dream of exploring the moon for thousands of years, and expresses the lofty vision of China’s space flight to the deep space of the universe in the new era.

On the occasion of the Spring Festival in the Year of the Rabbit, the Yutu-2 lunar rover in China’s lunar exploration project sent back the latest photographic works from the moon 380,000 kilometers away and sent a New Year greeting.

CCTV reporter Li Ning:During the Chinese New Year, there will still be many people sticking to their jobs, including the Yutu-2 lunar rover, which is conducting (scientific) exploration on the back of the moon 380,000 kilometers away. I am now in the operation control and scientific operation center of the ground application system of the National Astronomical Observatory, and this image from the moon seen in the picture is the latest return of Yutu II lunar rover. Above, we can see that the topography of the moon is bumpy. This is the rut mark that Yutu-2 has traveled. It climbed a hill in this area, and then it began to enter a relatively gentle road, and you can see very clear rut marks.

CCTV reporter Li Ning:The rut mark is next to an impact crater. How does it avoid it in this process? How to design a route for it?

Li Chunlai, deputy chief designer of the third phase of the lunar exploration project:The walking route of Yutu-2 is to get the position in front with its own navigation camera, and we have to restore and analyze a terrain before we can decide where it goes. It has a climbing ability of 20 to 30 degrees, but we find that the soil on the moon is loose, so we won’t walk in this extreme condition, and we also hope that its loss will be smaller and safer.

At present, Yutu-2 is located in the north-west direction of the landing site, with a linear distance of about 800 meters. The state of the lunar rover and the scientific load on it is all normal. During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit, researchers from the National Astronomical Observatory will work overtime with Yutu II to continue the lunar exploration.

Li Chunlai, deputy chief designer of the third phase of the lunar exploration project:We will also spend the New Year with Yutu II, and wish Yutu II great success in the new year.

Ouyang Ziyuan, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, First Chief Scientist of Lunar Exploration Project;I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Rabbit and all the best. The Jade Rabbit in the Moon Palace will make greater achievements and make contributions to our lunar explorers.

Ground application system team of lunar exploration project:Jade Rabbit will accompany you in the Year of the Rabbit, and I wish you all the best.

Hunan plans to stipulate that the wedding banquet for party and state staff should not exceed 30 tables.

  Wedding banquets, full moon banquets, one-year-old banquets … All kinds of banquets are full, and you are embarrassed not to go? This kind of banquet, which people call "human pyramid scheme", is annoying, and it is even more difficult if it comes to such banquets of leading cadres. On July 25, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a draft for comments on relevant regulations, and put forward restrictions on various banquets of party and state staff.

  The wedding banquet shall not exceed 30 tables at most.

  As party and state workers, except for weddings and funerals, it is strictly forbidden to invite and accept relatives (immediate family members, collateral relatives within three generations and close in-laws, the same below) in any other way; The total number of wedding banquets shall not exceed 200 (20 tables), and the number of wedding banquets shall not exceed 300 (30 tables) if the two parties jointly host the wedding banquet in the same city … On July 25th, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection solicited opinions and suggestions from all walks of life through the official website Sanxiang Fengji. com to regulate the handling of weddings, funerals and celebrations by party and state staff.

  In addition to restricting the types and number of banquets, the Interim Provisions on Regulating the Matters of Wedding, Funeral and Celebration by Party and State Staff (Online Draft for Comment) published by Sanxiang Fengji. com (hereinafter referred to as the draft for comment) stipulates that the size of the wedding and burial motorcade shall not exceed 8 vehicles, and official vehicles are not allowed to be used illegally, and special vehicles such as law enforcement duty are strictly prohibited; The wedding should be filed with the discipline inspection commission at the same level or the discipline inspection and supervision organ of the unit five working days in advance, and reported to the discipline inspection commission 10 working days after the funeral. The main person in charge of the "Four Masters" handled the wedding, funeral and celebration and reported to the superior discipline inspection commission.

  According to the provisions of the exposure draft, if you violate the above provisions, you will be criticized, educated, organized or disciplined according to the seriousness of the case; Anyone suspected of violating the law and committing a crime shall be investigated for legal responsibility according to law. Gifts and gifts received in violation of regulations shall be returned or collected according to regulations. If someone in the unit violates the rules, the leader fails to stop it, or fails to stop and investigate it, resulting in adverse effects, the main leaders and leaders in charge of the unit will be held accountable for party discipline and political discipline.

  Worried that the regulations are difficult to implement.

  In the draft for comments, the upper limit of holding a wedding banquet is set at 30 tables. Li Qi, who is in his early thirties this year, works in a state-owned enterprise. He said that he usually attends a friend’s wedding with a dozen or twenty tables, but how many tables are actually "big-handed"? Li Qi believes that this should be decided according to his own situation. "If there are many relatives and friends, do more; If there are few relatives and friends, you will do less. "

  Another married man in Liling, who works in a provincial organ, thinks that such a provision is suspected of public rights interfering with private rights. He believes that some people have a wide range of communication because of work, life and study, and it is understandable to exceed this definition.

  At the same time, Li Qi and the above-mentioned married men are worried that it will be difficult to implement the regulations after they are introduced, and eventually it will become a "gust of wind", which can only temporarily stop the brakes and do big things.

  In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Investigation and Regulation Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection said that during the consultation period, media interviews will not be accepted for the time being, and the interim measures will be officially introduced, and reporters will be specially answered on relevant situations. At the same time, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection also welcomes people from all walks of life to put forward suggestions and opinions to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection by mail.

  Netizen voice

  "I hope that the implementation in the later stage must be in place."

  Knight: After reading this regulation carefully, it should be the strictest regulation in the country to regulate the handling of weddings, funerals and celebrations. I think the key is to implement it. We will wait and see if the regulations are formally promulgated.

  YOYO: I hope we can refine the rules. Can’t colleagues, classmates and comrades-in-arms give gifts normally when they hold weddings?

  Runner: The introduction of new regulations is definitely a big step forward. It is an open attitude to collect opinions. Since the measures introduced this time are so strict, I hope that they will be put in place in the later implementation, otherwise it will be easier to rebound and become a mere formality.

  Qing dynasty is popular: it should be introduced quickly; The regulations should be more detailed; The key is to implement it. Reporter Jie’ni Yang Intern Zhang Yufang

Foreign trade innovation measures make opening up benefit the world

The fourth in a series of reports on China’s new measures to expand and open up.

On April 10th, the Supreme Leader of president, China attended the opening ceremony of the 2018 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia and delivered a keynote speech. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced the major measures that China will take in opening wider to the outside world. The Supreme Leader pointed out that China does not aim at pursuing a trade surplus, and sincerely hopes to expand imports and promote the balance of current account.

In recent years, the China government has always attached importance to changing the development mode of foreign trade, not aiming at the pursuit of trade surplus, promoting the balanced development of foreign trade, actively expanding imports, and continuously improving the breadth and depth of market opening.

Taking the initiative to expand imports as one of the four major measures to open wider to the outside world, this innovation in foreign trade practice once again shows the world China’s determination and confidence to actively open up to the outside world, which is generally welcomed by the international community. International public opinion believes that China’s clear release of such a positive import policy signal shows China’s responsibility for maintaining the process of globalization and free trade.

This year will be the first year to expand imports.

"2018 will be the first year for China to expand imports." Lu Jinyong, a professor at university of international business and economics Institute of International Economics and Trade, judged this. He believes that the policy information on "expanding imports" released by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader in the keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 2018 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia is positive and clear.

A series of actions, such as reducing tariffs, increasing the import of products with distinctive advantages, accelerating the process of joining the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Government Procurement, and holding the first China International Import Expo, show that China is starting from the direction of policy strength, taxation and building an international trade platform to expand imports.

In terms of tariffs, in recent years, China has substantially reduced import tariffs on some products. According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, as of January 11th, 2018, China has achieved zero tariff on more than 8,000 kinds of imported products. Taking agricultural products as an example, the import tariff of red wine in Georgia and Chile has been reduced from 14% to 30% to zero. Taking industrial products as an example, the import tariffs on some Swiss watches have been reduced by 50%; South Korea’s import tariffs on refrigerators, rice cookers and other products have been reduced by 40%, and will be reduced to zero tariffs in a few years. Gao Feng, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said that products with nearly one-third of China’s total imports can enjoy preferential tariff treatment in the FTA, most of which are end consumer goods.

China has also actively guided the import of products with distinctive advantages. On May 1st this year, China abolished import tariffs on 28 drugs, including anticancer drugs, and encouraged the import of innovative drugs. Experts in the industry have assessed that the import of anti-cancer drugs is expected to achieve a price reduction of at least 20% after comprehensive consideration of measures such as zero tariff on imports, reduction of VAT tax burden and centralized government procurement. This means that the cost of importing anticancer drugs from China market can be greatly reduced, and the drug quality and legal problems caused by "Haitao route" can be avoided.

Experts pointed out that the import trade platform that China is building mentioned by the Supreme Leader in his speech on April 10th will be an important support for China to actively expand imports. In this regard, Xing Yuqing, a professor at the National Policy Research Institute of Japan, said that China will expand its domestic market, build a larger import platform, greatly reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers, and lower the threshold for foreign investment to enter oil refining, communications, finance and Internet services, which will bring new growth impetus and source to China’s economy. He said: "I believe that many enterprises in China will win the competition with foreign capital. An open China will become a defender of the fairness and stability of the international trade order. "

Increasing imports and promoting consumption return

On the second day of the May Day holiday, Wang Lewei, a resident of Shilibao, Chaoyang District, Beijing, and his family came to the nearby box horse fresh supermarket. Australian lobster, French oysters, Russian king crab, Norwegian arctic cod … are not only rich in variety, but also affordable. Wang Lewei’s family enjoyed a delicious imported seafood dinner. "Before I wanted to eat imported seafood, I had to go to a big hotel, which was expensive. Now I can feast my eyes on it in the supermarket. It feels great."

Thanks to the development of new formats such as cross-border e-commerce and the reduction of import tariffs, more and more high-quality consumer goods from all over the world have entered China. "Easy to buy the world" has brought convenience and dividends to consumers. "Expanding imports has limited impact on domestic consumer goods. More importantly, in the long run, expanding imports is of great significance for promoting industrial transformation and promoting consumption upgrading. " Zhao Ping, director of the International Trade Research Department of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said.

Huang Songping, spokesman of the General Administration of Customs, said that this year, we will reduce the import tariffs on automobiles by a considerable margin, and at the same time reduce the import tariffs on some other products, and strive to increase the import of featured and advantageous products with concentrated demand from the people. Lu Jinyong believes that moderately expanding imports can promote and promote the high-quality development of China’s economy in many ways.

"Some imported consumer goods are not available in China before, which may refresh domestic consumer awareness and drive domestic related industries to achieve progress from scratch." Ye Changqing, Marketing Director of Shenzhen Baoshijie Sanitary Ware, said that a few years ago, many domestic consumers didn’t know about smart toilet seats, and most domestic manufacturers OEM for foreign brands, with few independent brands. Later, with the increase in the import of smart toilet seats, the awareness of domestic consumers is getting higher and higher, and the demand is constantly being released. Many domestic smart toilet seat manufacturers not only have their own brands, but even set up R&D centers in Japan.

In addition, expanding imports will help to keep a large amount of outflow consumption at home.

In 2016, China has become the world’s largest outbound tourism source market and the largest outbound tourism consumer. According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, according to preliminary estimates, at present, Chinese residents spend about $200 billion a year shopping abroad, and the shopping list includes a large number of high-end goods and daily consumer goods. The price difference between domestic and foreign products is the main reason for consumption outflow.

With the implementation of China’s measures to expand imports, this trend is changing.

"It’s much more convenient to buy imported goods than before." Li Li, an employee of an Internet company in Zhongguancun, Beijing, often buys imported snacks, toys and daily necessities for her children. A few years ago, she either made a big purchase when she went abroad, or entrusted a friend who went abroad to buy it. Nowadays, with cross-border e-commerce, most of the "explosive" imported goods can be easily bought.

Liu Dingming, general manager of Sichuan Hezhongxing International Logistics Co., Ltd., who is engaged in import and export business, believes that lowering tariffs has created conditions for expanding imports of consumer goods and lowering commodity prices, and consumers will directly benefit from it. At present, there are more than 50 merchants imported through the company’s logistics platform, and the goods mainly enter community stores and cooperative O2O stores. "In the future, people will buy some imported goods, and the price will be more favorable."

Zhang Jun, chief economist of Morgan Stanley Huaxin Securities, believes that in the process of economic restructuring in China, in order to achieve consumption upgrading and industrial upgrading, it is an inevitable trend to expand imports. With the increase of residents’ income, the demand for overseas high-end consumer goods is rising, and the corresponding reduction of tariffs on high-end consumer goods can meet the demand brought by this consumption upgrade.

In the context of expanding imports, it is promising to strengthen the docking of domestic and international markets. Zhao Ping said that in November, the first China International Import Expo will be held in Shanghai, which is a major policy announcement and action of our initiative to open the market. For domestic governments and enterprises at all levels, this grand event can also form a positive demonstration effect, create more convenient and diverse display channels for imported products, and better serve China consumers.

Innovative measures bring more "China opportunities"

Practice has proved that China’s expansion of imports not only promotes the sustained and healthy development of the capital market and modern industrial system, but also greatly improves the market environment in China, and brings huge market opportunities to all countries in the world.

Su Jian, executive deputy director of Peking University Economic Research Institute, pointed out that in the 2018 government work report, the expression of expanding imports was "actively expanding imports", while the Boao Forum focused on "actively expanding imports". Higher import tariffs and other taxes and fees are important factors that affect China’s import growth. It can be expected that the reduction of import tariffs will make imports grow considerably.

"China’s expansion of imports is not only conducive to better meeting domestic demand, but also conducive to the world sharing China market opportunities." Huang Zhilong, director of the Macroeconomic Center of Suning Financial Research Institute, believes that China has become the second largest economy in the world, with huge potential in the consumer market. It has taken the initiative to expand imports, which reflects the responsibility of a big country and can bring more development achievements and dividends to the world. For other countries, the increase of China’s imports means the increase of their exports, thus gaining more market returns and creating more employment opportunities.

"China has never taken the pursuit of trade surplus as the goal, but has tried to expand imports through a series of pragmatic measures to promote the balance of current account." Zhao Ping said that according to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, up to now, there are 15 free trade agreements in force in China, involving 23 countries and regions, covering more than 8,000 kinds of zero-tariff imported products.

International public opinion has also responded positively to China’s measures to expand imports.

The US "Wall Street Journal" reported that the Chairman of the Supreme Leader promised China to relax its market access in the fields of finance and manufacturing, which shows that China is committed to defending the free trade system. This information pushed up the global stock market.

Craig emerson, former Australian Trade Minister, believes that the world is encouraged by the Supreme Leader’s proposal that China will take the initiative to expand imports. The first China International Import Expo to be held this year will further prove that China welcomes competitive goods.

Hu Yishan, chief consultant of Malaysia Pacific Research Center, believes that the Chairman of the Supreme Leader announced a series of measures to open the market and expand imports, which made neighboring countries including Malaysia sincerely agree. It is hoped that China will continue to hold high the banner of free trade, oppose trade protectionism and safeguard the authority of the multilateral trading system in the face of rising protectionism and anti-globalization.

Corrupt officials "backyard": handyman turned into party secretary, husband cheated, wife took bribes to relieve depression.

  CCTV News:On December 5, 2017, the case of Li Yilong, former secretary of Hengyang Municipal Committee of Hunan Province, accepting bribes, embezzling, abusing his power and having a huge amount of property of unknown origin was publicly heard in the Intermediate People’s Court of Loudi City, Hunan Province. The prosecution alleged that from 2005 to 2016, Li Yilong illegally accepted property directly or through his wife and daughter, amounting to RMB 9.65 million.

  Former deputy director of the Social and Legal Committee of the Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference, former deputy secretary and deputy director of the Party Committee of the Provincial Department of Justice, and former party secretary and director Cheng Ying of the Provincial Prison Administration.(data map)

  A week ago, the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that the former deputy director of the Social and Legal Affairs Committee of the Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference, the former deputy secretary and deputy director of the Provincial Department of Justice, and the former party secretary and director of the Provincial Prison Administration, Cheng Ying, were "double-opened". In the notification, "conniving at his wife’s profit-making activities within his jurisdiction" was impressively listed.

  Individual leading cadres not only engage in power and money transactions in front of the stage, but also condone their families to collect money behind the scenes. Among the fallen "big tigers", such as Su Rong, Li Chuncheng and Bai Enpei, they all acquiesced in the "madam route" of junior officials or businessmen.

  Having a "pet" wife at home: causing the loss of state-owned assets, 1 billion handyman turned into the party secretary of the Red Cross.

  In June 2014, Su Rong, former vice chairman of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, was dismissed.

  According to insiders, during Su Rong’s administration in Jiangxi, his wife Yu Lifang frequently intervened in land transfer, project construction, bidding and tendering, demanding and accepting huge amounts of property. The land business she had intervened in caused the loss of state-owned assets to reach 1 billion yuan.

  Yu Lifang travels all over Jiangxi all day, making friends with all kinds of people, and many cadres and businessmen compete to please "Yu Jie". And many senior leaders in Jiangxi Province bribed Su Rong in disguise by bribing "Yu Jie", so as to gain Sue’s trust and promotion opportunities.

  Su Rong wrote in "Confessions", "My home ‘ Yu Jie ’ It has become synonymous with Jiangxi’s power and money transactions. I have problems, my wife has become greedy, and I have to stop at nothing. " "My home has become ‘ Power and money exchange ’ , I am ‘ Director ’ , the wife is ‘ Cashier ’ 。”

  Li Chuncheng, former deputy secretary of Sichuan Provincial Committee and former secretary of Chengdu Municipal Committee, is also such a "pet" wife.

  Li Chuncheng’s wife Qu Songzhi (data map)

  Li Chuncheng’s wife Qu Songzhi used to be a handyman in a hospital in Chengdu. In 2003, Li Chuncheng served as the secretary of the Chengdu Municipal Party Committee. Before the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, she was promoted to be the director of the Science and Technology Department of Chengdu Health Bureau. After the Wenchuan earthquake, he was transferred to the vice president of Chengdu Red Cross Society. In 2009, he became the Party Secretary and Executive Vice President of Chengdu Red Cross Society. Due to Qu Songzhi’s long-term absence, he goes to work every two months, and the staff of the Red Cross Society can’t pay for it for a long time, so he has to make private advances, which is miserable.

  At the beginning of December 2012, after Li Chuncheng was investigated for violating discipline, Qu Songzhi was also investigated.

  In January 2013, Qu Songzhi was removed from the post of Party Secretary of Chengdu Red Cross Society.

  On January 8, 2016, the court of Xian ‘an District, Xianning City, Hubei Province found that Qu Songzhi had taken bribes of more than 28 million yuan in a joint crime with Li Chuncheng and was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment.

  Like Su Rong and Li Chuncheng, there are still some officials who "spoil their wives and hurt themselves".

  Zhang Huiqing, the wife of Bai Enpei, the former secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, was promoted to the official level cadre by a waitress, but her speech was off topic, and her personal quality was criticized.

  Of the 45 bribery records of Wang Suyi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Party Committee and former minister of the United Front Work Department, 13 were collected through his wife Wang Zhihong.

  Zhou, the wife of Gong Xinzhi, the former secretary of Xintian County Committee of Hunan Province, was sentenced to 1 year and 10 months in prison for her husband’s long-term wandering around, causing depression and seeking material satisfaction by taking bribes.

  ……

  Having a "crazy" wife at home: humiliating the real estate boss "pig and dog are not as good as" and "big sister" can smoke, drink and play cards.

  On August 28th, 2017, Jiang Zunyu, former member of the Standing Committee of Shenzhen Municipal Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was sentenced to life imprisonment for accepting bribes. Upon verification, Jiang Zunyu received bribes from relevant units or individuals directly or through others, amounting to RMB 32.65 million and HK$ 46.7 million.

 

  Jiang Zunyu, former member of the Standing Committee of Shenzhen Municipal Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.(data map)

  According to media reports, Jiang Zunyu’s wife, Li, is extremely arrogant on weekdays. She not only collects the benefits provided by many real estate developers in disguise in various names, but even takes a huge "tribute" from the boss of a private enterprise behind her husband’s back and shamelessly reaches out and asks for bribes. In the eyes of many social bosses, she is "greedy, direct and low-quality", and even humiliated the real estate boss Guo "pig and dog are not as good as". Guo once said to the case handlers, "Compared with his wife, Jiang is still like a person."

  So crazy is the wife of Yu Shaodong, the former party secretary and director of Chengkou County People’s Congress in Chongqing.

  In Chengkou County, Yu Shaodong’s wife is a famous "big sister". She is not only good at smoking, drinking and playing cards, but also has a bad temper and dares to say and do. At a sports meeting of government officials, because she was dissatisfied with the referee’s penalty, she took the lead and led the employees of her unit to have a fierce conflict with each other, which had a bad influence.

  When she served as the director of the mineral products fee collection institute in Chengkou County, she also received money bribes from local business owners many times. In the end, it not only ruined my reputation, but also ruined my husband’s future and the happiness of the whole family. In May 2014, Yu Shaodong was sentenced to 12 years in prison for accepting bribes.

  Have a "virtuous" wife at home: spend 7.5 million "fishing husband" to report the ex-husband and cause him to fall.

  As the saying goes, "a good wife at home is better than a fertile land", but the "xian" of the wives of some fallen officials is useless to the right place.

  Li Dingrong, former deputy director of Shajing Sub-district Office in Bao ‘an District, Shenzhen, was arrested for accepting bribes. His wife spent 7.5 million to entrust a Hainan man, Wang Tiansheng, to "fish for people", and Wang Tiansheng spent 5.7 million to find Li, a retired director who had worked in the organization department of Hainan Province, but Li Dingrong was still sentenced to 13 years in prison. In the end, it was impossible to catch people, and both of them were accused of fraud.

 

  Hou Fengqi, former secretary of Wuhai Municipal Committee of Inner Mongolia(data map)

  Yang Xiue, the wife of Hou Fengqi, the former secretary of Wuhai Municipal Committee of Inner Mongolia, knew that her husband illegally accepted other people’s property and helped to hide and transfer a total of RMB 24.98 million. Both of them boarded the trial platform at the same time.

  After Zhou Jianhua, former director of the Standing Committee of Xinyu Municipal People’s Congress in Jiangxi Province, was sentenced for accepting bribes, his ex-wife Yao Minjian went around to plead for him, while his current wife Liang Wenyao said that she "didn’t want to get involved in the political whirlpool again".

  "It takes a hundred years to cross the same boat, and a thousand years to sleep together." Some ex-wives miss the old feelings and rush to complain, but some ex-wives will never be soft when they "put their righteousness above their family."

  On June 2, 2017, Dai Haibo, former Deputy Secretary-General of Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, was sentenced to 9 years’ imprisonment for accepting bribes and concealing overseas deposits.

  Earlier, some media reported that Dai Haibo had been reported by his ex-wife for a long time to be suspected of corruption when he was in charge of Shanghai Pudong New Area, or involved in Disney’s land acquisition and demolition projects, as well as owning multiple properties. These reports have been troubling Dai Haibo’s career.

  Yang Chongyong, former Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Hebei Province, was taken away for investigation on March 30, 2017. His dismissal was due to his ex-wife reporting his economic problems while working in Hebei.

  Zhu Mingguo, former chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Political Consultative Conference, was transferred from Hainan to the mountain city of Chongqing. The important reason for this transfer is that Zhu Mingguo was reported, and his ex-wife was one of the informants.

  "Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separately." Lin Kongxing, the former general manager of Huazhong Electric Power Group Company, and his wife Wang Ping staged a farce of "turning against each other" in court.

  During Lin Kongxing’s tenure, he abused power for personal gain, his family operated behind the scenes, practiced fraud, made illegal profits of 82.86 million yuan, and took bribes with his wife Wang Ping.

  At the trial, Lin Kongxing’s first sentence was: "The money was collected by Wang Ping, I don’t know." In one sentence, I put all the blame on my wife. "Her money is in her safe. I don’t have a password or a key. I can’t open it at all. Besides, I can’t manage Wang Ping’s business. " "This is Lin Kongxing’s framing of me!" Wang Ping was emotional and retorted loudly: "Lin Kongxing can’t frame me for his own liberation, which makes me very angry." Wang Ping also scolded her husband twice, then kept wiping away tears and said, "Bastard! Nonsense! Everything depends on me. "

  In the face of criminal facts, quibbling and prevarication also looked pale and powerless, and the two were finally sentenced together.

  The Code of Honesty and Self-discipline in the Communist Party of China (CPC) clearly requires that leading cadres in party member should be "honest and tidy, and consciously take the lead in establishing a good family style". As the family members of leading cadres, they should be "propagandists" and "supervisors" of anti-corruption, always stay awake, guard against corruption and bribery, always read the "clean government classics", blow more "clean wind" and be a real "good wife".

Beyond the new height of SU7? Xiaomi’s first SUV YU7 officially announced!

Since leaving the circle, the traffic of Xiaomi Automobile, as a new force in building cars, has been rising, and it has also broken 20,000 units with bicycles for two consecutive months. It is precisely because of the traffic blessing of the first explosion model that the rumored first Xiaomi SUV model has been receiving much attention. On the day of the announcement by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in December, Xiaomi’s second new car was officially announced, and all kinds of "Farami" imaginary maps on the Internet were overturned at the moment when they saw the official map.

Perhaps, because of the first young man’s "Bao Shi Mi", everyone thinks that it is not impossible for Xiaomi’s first SUV to pay tribute to Ferrari, and it is precisely because of the high expectations buried in the early days that many netizens saw Xiaomi YU7 at first sight, and there was a little bit of loss in their hearts.

Indeed, Xiaomi YU7 is not as amazing as Xiaomi SU7 when it was first launched. The main reason is that the appearance of Xiaomi YU7 is basically a copy and paste of the design language of Xiaomi SU7, and it is still a drop-shaped headlight group, with full muscle lines on the hood, which can identify the lever. Not surprisingly, the front enclosure of Xiaomi YU7 is still equipped with an active air intake grille.

On the side of the car body, Xiaomi YU7 adopts a slip-back posture. The biggest difference from Xiaomi SU7 is that Xiaomi YU7 uses a hidden door handle. Is it difficult to reduce wind resistance? It is worth mentioning that although Xiaomi Yuqi is an SUV model, its body is equipped with aerodynamic design in many places. It can be seen that Xiaomi Yuqi has made a lot of efforts in appearance details in order to reduce energy consumption. Perhaps this is the aerodynamic bridge design between Xiaomi Yuqi and Ferrari. "Heart and soul". From the existing application information, we can see that Xiaomi YU7 provides a variety of wheel hub styles, and offers 19, 20 and 21 inches to choose from, and bright yellow Brembo brake calipers are indispensable. In addition, Xiaomi YU7 is also equipped with lidar, and the high-order intelligent driving has not fallen.

In the rear part, Xiaomi YU7 continues to use the same circular taillight as Xiaomi SU7, with the spoiler above the rear windshield, the electric lifting tail and the rear surrounding diffuser. The sense of movement is rendered in place, which is really more distinctive than most SUV models on the market. If Xiaomi YU7 can be equipped with a circular exhaust layout, it will be even more fried.

Body size, length, width and height of Xiaomi YU7 are 4999/1996/1600mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3000 mm.. Compared with millet SU7 (length, width and height are 4997/1963/1455mm and wheelbase is 3000mm), millet YU7 only has a large variation in width and height. The interior has not been announced yet, but its layout is not much different from that of Xiaomi SU7. However, judging from the positioning of Xiaomi YU7, the riding experience of Xiaomi YU7 should be better than that of Xiaomi SU7, which pays attention to the sense of control. Maybe you can see the zero-gravity seat. Let’s look forward to it!

In terms of power, Xiaomi YU7 will be equipped with a dual-motor system. The maximum power of the front motor is 220kW, the maximum power of the rear motor is 288kW, and the maximum speed is 253 km/h. The battery will be equipped, and the specific cruising range has not been announced yet. As for the most popular driving force at the moment, it is expected that it will not appear for the time being.

Love comment

With the growing sales of Xiaomi SU7, it shows that Xiaomi has gradually gained market recognition, while the first SUV model has chosen a conservative route, and it is also expected that such operations will occur. Although there is not much bright spot in the appearance of Xiaomi YU7, the "expanded" Xiaomi YU7 is not simply copied and pasted, but focuses on reducing energy consumption. Moreover, according to the previous control and adjustment of Xiaomi Automobile and the performance of the highest speed of 253km/h, I believe that Xiaomi YU7, which pays attention to comfort, will not disappoint people. Looking back at the positioning of Xiaomi YU7, it is obvious that Xiaomi YU7 is running. According to the consistent routine of Xiaomi Automobile, the pricing of Xiaomi YU7 should be lower than that of Model Y, which starts at 249,900 yuan. In this regard, do you think Xiaomi Yuqi is still the next explosion? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
