Zou Zhiwu, Deputy Director of General Administration of Customs.China Net Li Jiashe

Zou Zhiwu, Deputy Director of General Administration of Customs.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, journalists and friends. Nice to meet you. Today is the first press conference of the Customs in the New Year. I would like to take this opportunity today to express my heartfelt thanks to the media friends for their concern, support and help in customs work in the past year. At the same time, I also take this opportunity to pay tribute to everyone in advance and wish you a happy New Year. Next, I will first report on China’s foreign trade import and export in 2019, and then answer your questions.

In 2019, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 31.54 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.4% over 2018. Among them, the export was 17.23 trillion yuan, an increase of 5%; Imports reached 14.31 trillion yuan, up by 1.6%; The trade surplus was 2.92 trillion yuan, an increase of 25.4%.

In the past year, the development of China’s foreign trade showed a trend of overall stability, stability and quality improvement Specifically, there are six characteristics:

First, the scale of import and export is rising quarter by quarter. The import and export value in the first quarter of 2019 was 7.03 trillion yuan, 7.68 trillion yuan in the second quarter, 8.26 trillion yuan in the third quarter and 8.59 trillion yuan in the fourth quarter. In December, it reached 3.01 trillion yuan, and the year-on-year growth rate in December reached double digits, which was 12.7%. Among them, exports were 1.67 trillion yuan, an increase of 9%; Imports reached 1.34 trillion yuan, up by 17.7%. In December, the scale of foreign trade import and export, export and import all reached a monthly historical peak.

Second, the ranking of major trading partners has changed, and ASEAN has become China’s second largest trading partner. In 2019, the largest trading partner was still the European Union, with an import and export of 4.86 trillion yuan to the EU, an increase of 8%; Import and export to ASEAN was 4.43 trillion yuan, an increase of 14.1%; Imports and exports to the United States were 3.73 trillion yuan, down 10.7%; The fourth largest trading partner is Japan, with imports and exports to Japan reaching 2.17 trillion yuan, up 0.4%. In addition, China’s import and export to countries along the "Belt and Road" was 9.27 trillion yuan, up 10.8%, 7.4 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate.

Third, private enterprises surpassed foreign-invested enterprises for the first time and became the largest foreign trade subject in China. In 2019, the import and export of private enterprises was 13.48 trillion yuan, up 11.4%, accounting for 42.7% of China’s total foreign trade, up 3.1 percentage points from 2018. Among them, exports were 8.9 trillion yuan, an increase of 13%; Imports reached 4.58 trillion yuan, up by 8.4%. The import and export of foreign-invested enterprises reached 12.57 trillion yuan, accounting for 39.9% of China’s total foreign trade. The import and export of state-owned enterprises was 5.32 trillion yuan, accounting for 16.9%.

Fourth, the structure of trade mode has been further optimized, and the proportion of import and export of general trade has increased. In 2019, China’s general trade import and export was 18.61 trillion yuan, up 5.6%, accounting for 59% of China’s total foreign trade, up 1.2 percentage points from 2018. Among them, exports were 9.95 trillion yuan, an increase of 7.8%; Imports reached 8.66 trillion yuan, up by 3.1%. The import and export of processing trade was 7.95 trillion yuan, down 5.1%, accounting for 25.2%.

Fifth, the export commodities are mainly mechanical and electrical products and labor-intensive products, and the proportion of mechanical and electrical products is close to 60%. Last year, China exported 10.06 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, up 4.4%, accounting for 58.4% of the total export value. Among them, the export of electrical and electronic products was 4.63 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.4%; Mechanical equipment was 2.87 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.4%. In the same period, seven categories of labor-intensive products, such as textiles and clothing, exported 3.31 trillion yuan, up 6.1%.

Sixth, the import of iron ore, crude oil, natural gas, soybeans and other bulk commodities increased. In 2019, China imported 1.069 billion tons of iron ore, an increase of 0.5%; Imported crude oil was 506 million tons, up by 9.5%; Imported natural gas was 96.56 million tons, an increase of 6.9%; Imported soybeans reached 88.51 million tons, up by 0.5%. In addition, the import of meat products grew rapidly, with 2.108 million tons of pork imported in the whole year, an increase of 75%; Imported beef was 1.659 million tons, an increase of 59.7%.

This is the main feature of China’s foreign trade in 2019.

In recent years, the Customs has conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, greatly reduced the overall customs clearance time, continuously deepened the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, and continuously optimized the port business environment. In 2019, the overall customs clearance time of China’s imports and exports was reduced by 42.3% and 42.4% respectively compared with 2018, and the time was 41.4 hours and 4 hours. This time is greatly reduced compared with 2018.

On the whole, China’s foreign trade import and export achieved a steady increase in quantity and a steady improvement in quality last year, with the risk challenges at home and abroad rising obviously. At present, the world economic growth continues to slow down and uncertainties are increasing. Under the guidance of the Supreme Leader Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era, the Customs will fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second, Third and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the 19th National Congress and the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, adhere to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, take the supply-side structural reform as the main line, implement the requirements of "six stabilities" such as stabilizing foreign trade and foreign investment, and continuously optimize the port business environment. Promote a higher level of opening to the outside world, promote the steady growth and high-quality development of foreign trade, better serve the overall economic and social development of the country, and contribute to the establishment of a well-off society in an all-round way.

Thank you all.

Let’s enter the question session. Please inform your news organization before asking questions.

Reporter from CCTV News Center of Central Radio and Television General Station:

The latest data just released shows that the total value of foreign trade import and export in 2019 increased by 3.4% year-on-year. What do you think is the main reason for the contrarian growth of China’s foreign trade? In addition, in the face of the complicated and severe economic environment at home and abroad, what kind of judgment do you have on China’s foreign trade trend in 2020? Thank you.

Zou Zhiwu

Thank you for your question. In 2019, the external environment of China’s foreign trade development was indeed complicated and severe, the world economic growth continued to slow down, and the risk challenges at home and abroad increased significantly. However, under such circumstances, China’s foreign trade still maintains a steady growth, and it is in a steady development trend of improving quality. Now that the domestic figures have come out, some international figures need to be looked at again. From our preliminary analysis, China is still expected to maintain its position as the world’s largest country in goods trade in 2019. Just now, we said that our import and export increased by 3.4%, which was denominated in RMB, and the total value in US dollars decreased slightly, but our exports still showed a positive growth of 0.5%. According to the latest data of the first ten months of WTO, China’s exports are the best among the top ten trading countries in the world.

When it comes to reasons, I think there are mainly the following three aspects:

First, the domestic economy is stable. The basic trend of China’s economic stability and long-term improvement has not changed. According to the data of the first 11 months, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 5.6% year-on-year, the total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 8% year-on-year, and the investment in fixed assets increased by 5.2% year-on-year. The annual GDP will still maintain rapid growth, and the growth rate is obviously ahead of other major economies in the world. We have the strong leadership of the Party, the remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, the solid material and technical foundation accumulated since the reform and opening up, the super-large-scale market advantage and domestic demand potential, and the stable performance of the domestic economy has laid a solid foundation for the growth of foreign trade. I think this is the main reason.

Second, China’s overall economic resilience is relatively strong, which is also reflected in the field of foreign trade. China’s economy has strong resilience, potential and room for maneuver, and this resilience is equally available in the field of foreign trade. We are the largest manufacturing country in the world and have a complete industrial system. Our output of more than 220 kinds of industrial products ranks first in the world, and domestic industries provide strong support for the development of foreign trade. We have a large number of foreign trade enterprises. Last year, there were 499,000 foreign trade enterprises with actual import and export activities. In particular, private enterprises with more flexible production and operation have released stronger vitality for foreign trade development. Just now, we also said that one of the characteristics of foreign trade in 2019 is that private enterprises surpassed foreign-funded enterprises for the first time to become the largest foreign trade subject, of which exports accounted for more than 50%. At the same time, our trading partners are all over the world, and more flowers are blooming. In 2019, while our major trading partners such as the European Union and ASEAN grew, our imports and exports to countries along the Belt and Road, as well as emerging economic markets such as Africa and Latin America increased by 10.8%, 6.8% and 8% respectively.

The third is the sustained release of the effect of stabilizing foreign trade policies. Since 2018, China has introduced a series of policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade and foreign investment, and introduced unprecedented tax reduction and fee reduction policies, effectively reducing the burden on enterprises. After the introduction of these policies, they have been effective one after another, including raising the export tax rebate rate of some products twice, independently reducing the import tariffs on consumer goods, canceling the import tariffs on some drugs, etc., and the policy effects have been continuously released. For example, in 2019, the export value of commodities involving two increases in export tax rebates increased by 7.7%. The effect after tax reduction is also obvious. In 2019, the import of consumer goods and pharmaceuticals increased by 19% and 25.8% respectively. At the same time, China has comprehensively deepened the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, effectively stimulated the vitality of market players, continuously optimized the port business environment, and improved the level of cross-border trade facilitation. According to the report released by the World Bank, in 2019, the global ranking of China’s state-owned business environment cross-border trade indicators increased by 9 places on the basis of 32 places in 2018, and rose to the 56th place in the world. There is no specific customs clearance time and efficiency between EU countries, which are all zero, so it is ranked according to 28. If this is calculated according to an economy, our ranking will be greatly improved.

Regarding the foreign trade situation in 2020, I believe that the current world economic growth continues to slow down, and it is still in the period of deep adjustment after the international financial crisis. The global economic uncertainty and risk challenges have increased significantly, and the external environment facing foreign trade development is still severe and complicated. However, with the deepening of supply-side structural reform, the domestic "six stable" policies and measures have continued to take effect, the business environment has continued to improve, the vitality of market players has been continuously enhanced, the foreign trade structure has been continuously optimized, and the long-term trend of accelerating power conversion has not changed. It is expected that China’s foreign trade will continue to maintain a steady growth trend in 2020, and high-quality development will reach a new level. Thank you.

Guangming Daily reporter

Just now, we noticed that China’s foreign trade import and export increased significantly in December 2019, with a year-on-year growth rate of double digits. We really want to know what the specific reason is. Thank you.

Zou Zhiwu

Thank you for your question. Please ask Director Huang to answer this question.

Huang Guohua, Deputy Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of General Administration of Customs. China Net Li Jiashe

Huang Guohua, Deputy Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of General Administration of Customs:

Thank you for your question. In December 2019, China’s foreign trade import and export reached double-digit growth, and both foreign trade exports and imports reached historical monthly highs. Our analysis mainly has the following reasons:

First, since November 2019, China’s manufacturing PMI has expanded for two consecutive months, driving the import of some raw materials and energy products to increase. For example, in December, the import volume of iron ore, copper ore and refined oil increased by 17.2%, 31.9% and 10% respectively, pushing up the import scale.

Second, the average import price of some commodities has risen due to the rising international market prices. For example, the average import price of iron ore increased by 18% in December, which promoted the overall import growth by 1.5 percentage points when the import volume increased by 17.2%.

Third, the Sino-US economic and trade consultation has released a positive signal, and corporate confidence has increased. In December, the export of toys, plastic products and furniture increased by 26.1%, 22.7% and 14.2% respectively. The General Administration of Customs conducts an online questionnaire survey of 3,000 foreign trade enterprises every month. The survey data in November and December show that the number of enterprises that are optimistic about the export situation in the next two to three months is increasing, and the number increased in December reached the highest value since the second half of 2018.

In addition, there is another reason. In December 2018, China’s import and export declined by 1.4%. In other words, the year-on-year base in December 2018 is relatively low, and the foreign trade in December 2019 has the nature of recovery growth.

Thank you.

Bloomberg News reporter:

I have two questions. The first question, you just mentioned that if the total foreign trade volume last year was denominated in US dollars, it was relatively slightly lower, which was different from that in RMB. What I want to ask is, what is the US dollar exchange rate used in calculating the total foreign trade in 2019? Second, with the signing of the first-stage economic and trade agreement between China and the United States, China has also agreed to further expand its imports from the United States. Can this be achieved without affecting imports from other countries and regions? Will China reduce imports from other regions to expand its imports to the United States, or can it achieve these two goals while expanding the total foreign trade?

Zou Zhiwu:

Thank you for your two questions. The first question about pricing, I’d like to ask Secretary Huang to answer it. I’ll answer the second question.

Huang Guohua:

Thank you. China Customs’ foreign trade statistics are based on international rules and local currency, and our statistics and release are based on RMB. At the same time, for international comparison, we also count the import and export data of US dollar value.

You mentioned the exchange rate just now. What exchange rate is used? We declare each ticket in the import and export declaration form, regardless of the currency. We calculate the RMB value and the US dollar value of this ticket of imported or exported goods at the same time according to the conversion exchange rate published by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange every month, instead of using an average exchange rate for conversion in the last year.

Zou Zhiwu:

Just now, Director Huang also said that this statistical method is the practice of international trade statistics, and all countries adopt this method, that is, trade statistics are measured in their own currencies. As you said just now, with the signing of the economic and trade agreement in the first stage of Sino-US trade consultation, this is the case with Sino-US trade and China’s imports from other countries. According to the overall data of the whole year, the trade between China and the United States declined last year, which was already mentioned in my introduction earlier.

Since November and December last year, imports from the United States have resumed growth, especially in December, when imports reached 78.83 billion yuan, an increase of 9.1%, including agricultural products imports of 14.1 billion yuan, a two-fold increase; 23,000 cars were imported, an increase of 1.5 times. On December 6th, last year, the State Council Customs Tariff Commission, based on the application of relevant enterprises, carried out the work of excluding soybeans, pork and other goods purchased from the United States, and took measures such as not imposing counter-tariffs on the excluded goods. In the month of December, imports of American soybeans and pork all increased significantly.

The Sino-US trade friction you mentioned just now has really put pressure on China’s foreign trade and foreign trade enterprises with the United States as the main market. Although our exports to the United States have declined, enterprises have achieved remarkable results in exploring diversified markets. The export growth to non-American markets has increased, and the overall export has maintained growth. We believe that with the upcoming signing of the first-stage economic and trade agreement between China and the United States, it will be of great positive significance not only to China, the United States, but also to the whole world, regardless of trade or future economic expectations. If we expand our imports from the United States after signing the first agreement, will it affect the exports of other countries and markets to China? I’m sure not. Because China has a huge market, our trade is diversified. I believe that with the joint efforts of China and the United States, Sino-US economic and trade relations will make new progress on the basis of mutual benefit and win-win, which is beneficial not only to China and the United States, but also to the trade and economic development of all countries in the world. Thank you.

Guoguang reporter from Central Radio and Television General Station:

I would like to ask you to introduce the latest situation of foreign trade import and export in China and countries along the Belt and Road. In addition, what are the highlights of the customs work? How will the "three-intelligence cooperation" of "smart customs, smart borders and smart connectivity" serve the construction of the "Belt and Road"? Thank you.

Zou Zhiwu

Thank you for your question. First of all, I will answer your question about our foreign trade import and export with countries along the Belt and Road.

Since the "One Belt, One Road" initiative was put forward, the trade scale between China and countries along the "Belt and Road" has continued to expand. From 2014 to 2019, the total trade value exceeded 44 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 6.1%. China has become the largest trading partner of 25 countries along the route. Last year, the total import and export value between China and countries along the Belt and Road was 9.27 trillion yuan, up by 10.8%, which was 7.4 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of foreign trade, accounting for nearly 30% of the total import and export value, and the proportion of the total import and export value was 2 percentage points higher than that in 2018. It can be seen that our trade with countries along the Belt and Road has shown a very good momentum of development.

The General Administration of Customs has earnestly implemented and promoted the cooperation between customs and relevant regulatory authorities in countries along the Belt and Road, including our cooperation with customs inspection and quarantine in countries along the route to promote trade facilitation and safeguard national security. Last year, we signed 198 cooperation documents on customs inspection and quarantine, involving 89 countries along the Belt and Road. As of last year, China Customs has signed AEO mutual recognition arrangements with 42 countries (regions) in 15 economies, and the number of countries (regions) with mutual recognition ranks first in the world, including 18 countries along the Belt and Road, expanding the "single window" function and application scenarios of international trade, systematically connecting with 25 ministries and commissions, sharing data, and providing nearly 600 enterprise services in 16 categories, including goods declaration and tax payment. With Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Mongolia and other countries, seven "green channels" for rapid customs clearance of agricultural and sideline products at border ports have been opened one after another, promoting the "Belt and Road" China-Europe postal train, and jointly carrying out vector monitoring with countries bordering the "Belt and Road" to jointly promote the construction of a healthy "Silk Road".

Just now, you also mentioned the "three intelligences", namely "smart customs, smart borders and smart connectivity". This was put forward by Mr. Ni Yuefeng, Director of the General Administration of Customs, during the "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum last year. The "Three Intelligences" with intelligent construction as the core is a brand-new concept of cooperation between national customs, as a pragmatic measure for the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" cooperation of customs services. With the release of the "Three Intellectuals" white paper "Initiative to jointly promote the construction and cooperation of" Smart Customs, Smart Border and Smart Access ",China Customs will deepen its cooperation with foreign countries, build a" Belt and Road "customs information exchange and sharing platform with more countries, speed up the construction and docking of" single window "in international trade, and promote the" Three Intelligences "cooperation along the Belt and Road. Thank you.

Phoenix TV reporter

We are concerned that in this data, private enterprises have become the largest foreign trade subject in China. Specifically, what are the characteristics of private enterprises in import and export in 2019? What new measures does the General Administration of Customs have to support the import and export of private enterprises? Thank you.

Zou Zhiwu

Thank you for your question. Just now, in 2019, private enterprises became the largest subject of China’s foreign trade. We believe that there are mainly several aspects in terms of highlights or characteristics:

First, the vitality of private enterprises has improved. In 2019, the number of private enterprises with import and export performance reached 406,000, an increase of 8.7% over the previous year. At present, the significant increase in the number of private enterprises reflects the continuous optimization of the domestic business environment and is an important manifestation of the endogenous motivation and development vitality of China’s foreign trade. In 2019, the import and export of private enterprises increased by 11.4%, driving the growth of foreign trade by 4.5 percentage points.

Second, private enterprises in the central and western regions developed rapidly. With the help of the "Belt and Road Initiative" and the comparative advantages of regional comprehensive costs, the import and export of private enterprises grew faster in the central and western regions. In 2019, the import and export growth rate of private enterprises in the central and western regions reached 28.3% and 22.4% respectively, which was 19.5 percentage points and 13.6 percentage points higher than that in the eastern region. In 2019, the top four provinces in terms of import and export growth of private enterprises were all located in the central and western regions, namely Tibet, Hunan, Guangxi and Anhui.

Third, the efforts of private enterprises to explore emerging markets have been continuously enhanced. In 2019, the export of private enterprises to all major markets showed a growth trend. While maintaining their traditional market advantages, their exports to emerging markets such as ASEAN, Latin America and Africa increased by 25.6%, 11.4% and 15.6% respectively, which were also higher than the national export growth rate to these three markets.

The Customs has conscientiously implemented the central decision-making arrangements and strived to create a better development environment for private enterprises. For example, we have introduced many measures that are beneficial to private enterprises, because small and micro enterprises account for a relatively high proportion of private enterprises, and they are under certain pressure in terms of capital turnover, tax payment and financing. In view of this situation, we have introduced the reform of tariff guarantee insurance, and introduced the commercial insurance mechanism to the payment of taxes. Private enterprises have benefited the most from this reform and participated the most. This reform makes it clear that enterprises with general credit rating and above can use tariff guarantee insurance to guarantee their customs clearance and tax payment. This can reduce the financing cost of enterprises, because it is guaranteed, customs clearance procedures can be completed in time, and customs clearance efficiency is greatly improved. For another example, the Customs has implemented the central government’s decision to reduce taxes and fees. At present, it has completely abolished administrative fees, set up a fee publicity column on the portal website according to regulations, and publicized it on the Internet, urging all units to implement the fee publicity work, so as to achieve "no publicity, no fees" and effectively reduce the tax burden of private enterprises.

In the next step, we will continue to implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and a series of work arrangements made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to support the development of private enterprises. We are also prepared to study and introduce specific measures specifically aimed at the concerns of private foreign trade enterprises, study more specific, targeted and beneficial support measures for enterprises, do our best to do a good job in customs supervision and service, and further optimize the business environment of private enterprises. Thank you.

Indian Broadcasting Corporation reporter

I have two questions. First, can you introduce the data of bilateral trade between China and India in 2019? Second, what measures will China take to reduce the Indian trade deficit with China?

Zou Zhiwu

Thank you for your question. Please ask Director Huang to answer this question.

Huang Guohua

According to our statistics, the total trade volume between China and India in 2019 was 639.52 billion yuan, up 1.6% year-on-year, of which China exported 515.63 billion yuan to India, up 2.1%, and imported 123.89 billion yuan from India, down 0.2%, with a trade surplus of 391.74 billion yuan. China and India are both important emerging economies. Strengthening exchanges and cooperation is of great significance to both countries and will also promote global progress and prosperity.

Last October, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader was invited to India to attend the second informal meeting between Chinese and Indian leaders, which strengthened the deep communication between China and India and promoted mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields. At present, China’s export products have a strong competitive advantage in the Indian market. At the same time, we also welcome more Indian quality products to enter the big market in China. We believe that deepening economic and trade cooperation between the two countries will help promote the healthier, stable and balanced development of Sino-Indian trade. Thank you.

China news service reporter

We have noticed that China recently issued the Guiding Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting High-quality Trade Development. Excuse me, what new progress has China’s foreign trade made in high-quality development in 2019? Thank you.

Zou Zhiwu

Thank you for your question. Last year, China’s foreign trade developed with high quality, and the trend of improving quality was obvious. I think it is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First, the structure of trade mode has been continuously optimized. In 2019, the import and export of general trade with longer industrial chain, higher added value and better reflecting the independent development ability of enterprises increased by 5.6%, accounting for 59% of China’s foreign trade import and export, which was 1.2 percentage points higher than that in 2018.

Second, the new kinetic energy of trade has been significantly enhanced. Last year, China’s new foreign trade formats such as cross-border e-commerce continued to develop vigorously, with the import and export through the customs cross-border e-commerce management platform reaching 186.21 billion yuan, an increase of 38.3%. The import and export of market procurement was 562.95 billion yuan, an increase of 19.7%. Together, they contribute nearly 14% to the overall foreign trade growth.

Third, the trade market is more diversified. While continuing to deepen the traditional export market, our enterprise continues to explore emerging markets with remarkable results. Just now we talked about the "Belt and Road". In 2019, the proportion of China’s exports to countries along the "Belt and Road" and Latin American countries increased, which is an obvious result in opening up new markets.

Fourth, the international competitive advantage has been significantly improved. In 2019, China’s export commodity price index rose by 2.8%, the import commodity price index rose by 1.4%, and the terms of trade index was 101.4, indicating that we can export as many commodities in exchange for more commodities. From this perspective, our competitive advantage has been further improved. According to the latest data of WTO, from January to September 2019, the global market share of China’s electromechanical products and labor-intensive products increased by 0.2 and 0.9 percentage points respectively. At the same time, the export of some products with high added value maintained a good growth trend. For example, last year, China’s exports of integrated circuits increased by 25.3%, exports of semiconductor devices increased by 26.3%, exports of solar cells increased by 47.5%, and metal processing machine tools increased by nearly 15%. The effect of export brand building is also remarkable. Last year, the export of self-owned brand goods was 2.9 trillion yuan, up by 12%, accounting for nearly 17% of the total export value, which was also 1.1 percentage points higher than that in 2018.

Fifth, the import of consumer products for people’s livelihood grew rapidly. Last year, we successfully held the second China International Import Expo(CIIE), lowered the VAT rate on import links, abolished some import tariffs on drugs, and actively expanded the import of consumer goods, enriching the domestic supply of goods and better meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life. In 2019, China’s imports of consumer goods increased by 19%, including imports of fruits, cosmetics and aquatic products, which increased significantly, reaching 39.8%, 38.8% and 37.6%. The import of electric manned vehicles has increased by 1.2 times, and the import of vaccines for human use has increased by nearly 90%, which shows that our huge consumer market has played a very important role in promoting the import growth of consumer goods. Thank you.

American international market news agency reporter

This morning, the United States revoked China’s designation as a currency manipulator. Excuse me, what impact will this incident have on China’s exports this year? Could you tell us in detail what the export situation will be like this year? Thank you.

Zou Zhiwu

On this issue, I want to say a simple sentence: correct choice and positive significance.

As for export, with the signing of the first phase agreement between China and the United States, I believe it will have a positive impact on the trade between the two countries and even the world trade, which is good news. Thank you.

Indian Press Trust reporter

I have two questions. First, from your introduction just now, it was said that the bilateral trade between China and India increased by 1.6% compared with the previous year, but in fact, at the beginning of last year, there was a general expectation that Sino-Indian trade would exceed the $100 billion mark in 2019. What caused the final figure of bilateral trade between China and India to be lower than expected? Second, can you tell us the data of India’s exports to China, such as the number of Indian medicine exports to China?

Zou Zhiwu

Thank you for your question. On the issue of bilateral trade between China and India, Director Huang has given a general answer. Some specific questions you asked, especially those about specific products, can be communicated with you later. Thank you.

Shouxiaoli

Last two questions.

Economic Daily reporter

Just now Director Zou mentioned that China’s foreign trade is still facing severe internal and external challenges. In the next step, from what aspects will the customs promote the steady growth and development of foreign trade? Thank you.

Zou Zhiwu

Thank you for your question. In recent years, the national customs has resolutely implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee on promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and introduced a series of reform measures to continuously optimize the business environment at ports and promote the stability and quality improvement of foreign trade. Let me first introduce the main work we have done:

First, we will continue to deepen the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform. Cancel 92 of the 116 certificates in the customs clearance process, further streamline the administrative examination and approval items, and realize the full coverage of the pilot project of "separation of licenses" for business licenses related to enterprises. At the same time, we have further simplified the import and export supervision documents, and the number of supervision documents verified at the port has been reduced from 86 to 44. Except for a few cases involving security and confidentiality, all of them have implemented online verification, thus eliminating the need for enterprises to go through relevant cumbersome procedures with paper certificates. At the same time, we have reduced the statutory inspection catalogue, and implemented the first release and then inspection of imported bulk resource commodities, which greatly reduced the time for enterprises to detain goods in Hong Kong, and put them on the arrival of the goods, and then conduct random inspection afterwards. We have further deepened "double randomness and one openness", and all matters that can be made public have been made public. Now, we have made public 29 items randomly selected by administrative inspections.

Second, with the entry of inspection and quarantine functions and teams into the customs, we will have a chemical reaction in accordance with the requirements of the central authorities, especially the reform proposed by the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader. We have combined the original requirements, documents, certificates, items to be filled in and the original items to be declared, and now we have reduced the original 200 items to 105 items. At the same time, we have implemented five innovations in accordance with the practices of some advanced countries, such as the "two-step declaration" reform now. After the goods arrive, we only need to make a summary declaration based on logistics-related information, and only fill in nine items to go through customs clearance procedures first. Within 14 days, enterprises can make a complete declaration after taking delivery of the goods, which greatly saves the time occupied by enterprises in customs declaration and also reduces the expenses brought by enterprises in the detention of goods in Hong Kong.

The third is to actively serve the regional development of the country. Fully support the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and study the customs supervision plan. We have formulated customs supervision, statistical methods and support measures for Yangshan Special Comprehensive Insurance Zone, supported the construction of Lingang New Area in Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, supported the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, formulated 26 customs support measures, and established a specialized integrated working mechanism for customs in the Yangtze River Delta region. We have conscientiously implemented the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area construction plan, established cooperation mechanisms between the mainland and Hong Kong, the mainland and Macao customs and other port supervision departments, and introduced special measures.

The fourth is to promote the high-quality development of the comprehensive bonded zone. We conscientiously implemented the Opinions of the State Council on Promoting High-level Opening and High-quality Development of Comprehensive Insurance Zone, coordinated relevant departments to formulate more than 20 supporting measures and methods, and promoted the implementation of relevant measures as soon as possible. Last year, the total value of first-line import and export of enterprises in the national comprehensive insurance zone reached 2.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 13%, and the growth rate of import and export of enterprises in the comprehensive insurance zone was also 9.7 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of the country. In the first line of the comprehensive insurance zone, there are more than 2,500 enterprises with import and export performance, with a year-on-year increase of 25.3%.

The fifth is to innovate the supervision system and promote the development of new formats. We actively adapt to the development of emerging formats, such as the foreign trade integrated service platform, and the market procurement just mentioned, especially for the needs of cross-border e-commerce development. Recently, we have just formulated and implemented a method for cross-border e-commerce return, smoothing the export return channels of cross-border e-commerce, and making cross-border e-commerce products go out and return. At present, it has been piloted in more than a dozen customs, and will soon be pushed across the country.

Sixth, support small and medium-sized enterprises. When I talked about private enterprises just now, I have already introduced this work.

In the new year, according to the requirements of the central authorities and the specific deployment of "six stabilities", we will also introduce measures. One is to further refine and implement the reform measures that have been introduced, and the other is to study and formulate more targeted reform plans according to the actual needs of enterprises. Generally speaking, it is necessary to fulfill the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" requirements, truly carry out the customs reform, especially the deep integration reform after the inspection and quarantine are integrated into the customs, truly follow the requirements of generating chemical reactions, and promote the customs management according to the goal of optimization, coordination and efficiency. Thank you.

Xinhua news agency reporter

I want to ask a question about the upcoming visit to Myanmar by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader. Please tell us about the trade situation between China and Myanmar in 2019 and what arrangements will China and Myanmar have in foreign trade this year? In addition, just now you mentioned that the private economy has become the largest foreign trade subject, especially the private enterprises in the central and western regions are very dynamic, but the data doesn’t seem to mention the foreign trade performance of the eastern, central and western regions, including the northeast in 2019. Can you briefly introduce it? Thank you.

Zou Zhiwu

The situation of China-Myanmar trade will be introduced by Director Huang later. Generally speaking, the development of China-Myanmar trade is wide-ranging and carried out in many aspects, and the progress is very good. I will give you a specific data about the situation of private enterprises in eastern and western regions after the meeting. Thank you.

Huang Guohua

Let me introduce the bilateral trade between China and Myanmar. Last year, the import and export of China and Myanmar was 128.91 billion yuan, up by 28.5% year-on-year, the export was 84.9 billion yuan, up by 22.1%, and the import was 44.01 billion yuan, up by 42.8%. As friendly neighbors, China and Myanmar have a high degree of political mutual trust, deep economic cooperation and close cooperation on international and regional issues. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties 70 years ago, China-Myanmar relations have been developing on the basis of mutual respect, mutual trust and mutual assistance, setting a good example for countries big and small to live in harmony and win-win cooperation. President Supreme Leader’s visit will deepen China-Myanmar interconnection and cooperation. The two sides will deepen high-quality cooperation in building the "Belt and Road" and promote the positive progress of major projects in the three-terminal support and interconnection of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor for the benefit of the two countries and their peoples. Thank you.

Open government day | Learn more about surface water process.

Tap water comes uninvited.

Water is the source of life, and our life.closeRelated, turn on the tap,Tap water flows out slowly. While enjoying the convenience brought by modern life, have we ever wondered where these tap water comes from? What technological processes have you gone through to reach thousands of households? today,We walked into Beihai main water supply plant.—— North Suburb Water Plant, visit the surface water purification process, and learn about the "past lives" of tap water together.

The Northern Suburb Water Plant adopts surface water technology, and the water source is Niuweiling Reservoir. The design daily water supply capacity of Phase I is as follows150,000 tons. The northern suburb water plant started construction in 1993, and was shut down in 1996 due to the influence of national macro-control. In 2009, our company invested 65 million yuan to start the continuation project of the northern suburb water plant. In October 2011, the construction of the continuation project was completed. However, due to the serious eutrophication of the water source of Niuweiling Reservoir, the water after conventional treatment has a heavy muddy smell and it has been transformed into an underground water plant. In 2017, in order to effectively alleviate the shortage of water supply in our city, the water quality upgrading project of Beijiao Waterworks was started. Pretreatment and advanced treatment processes were adopted for the eutrophic raw water of Niuweiling Reservoir. The project was completed in December 2018, with a total investment of 97.8362 million yuan, and was officially put into production on January 7, 2019. In order to further improve the security of urban water supply, the company started construction of the second phase of Beijiao Water Plant in September 2020 according to the requirements of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, and it is expected to be completed in December 2022. The total investment of the project is 323 million yuan. In the past 12 years since 2009, our company has invested about 486 million yuan to improve the quality of drinking water in our city and ensure the safety of urban water supply.

There are many microorganisms, protozoa, viruses and pathogenic bacteria in natural water. In order to prevent pathogenic bacteria from bringing diseases to people, water supply companies will adopt disinfectants such as liquid chlorine or chlorine dioxide to disinfect and kill microorganisms and pathogenic bacteria in water.

Chlorine dioxide and liquid chlorine used by our company for disinfection are effectively controlled in strict accordance with the national Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water in the production process. The limit value of chlorine dioxide in the factory water using chlorine dioxide disinfection process is as follows0.1-0.8mg/L, the pipe network water limit value is greater than 0.02mg/L, the residual chlorine limit value of the factory water by liquid chlorine disinfection process is 0.3-4mg/L, and the pipe network water limit value is greater than 0.05 mg/L.

Users smell the smell in the process of use because people’s taste threshold for chlorine is0.2-0.5mg/L, when the chlorine in water exceeds 0.2mg/L, people can smell chlorine, but it is within the national standard value, which is qualified and safe drinking water, and users can use it with confidence.

Ten Bad Habits of Environmental Pollution in Chinese

  As one of the main pollution gases emitted by industry, smoke and dust threaten human health and destroy the regional environment. We should optimize the industrial structure, implement cleaner production, and promote enterprises to meet the emission standards.

  The random discharge of sewage will directly destroy the ecological environment, and will eventually affect human health and even survival. We should strengthen sewage treatment and utilization, protect the ecological environment and protect the future of mankind!

  Automobile exhaust is toxic and harmful, and it is emitted at low altitude, which is the main source of air pollution in cities all over the world. We should make a comprehensive policy, combine "sparse" and "blocked", and support the blue sky with automobile civilization.

  A large amount of dust and sulfide volatilized from the combustion of inferior coal is the main source of air pollution. We should promote the clean utilization of coal, keep warmth and blue sky.

  Dust from construction site directly affects air quality while reducing visibility, causing safety accidents and hidden dangers. We should promote green construction, reduce dust pollution and let citizens breathe freely under the blue sky.

  The unorganized discharge of cooking fume intrudes the surrounding residents and pollutes the atmospheric environment. We should upgrade the management methods of catering environment, strengthen the control of lampblack source and create a harmonious environment.

  Burning straw not only produces toxic substances harmful to human health, but also aggravates air pollution and increases the possibility of regional haze weather. We should strengthen scientific guidance, promote the recycling of straw and achieve a double harvest of environmental benefits.

  Open-air barbecue not only affects the municipal appearance, but also directly discharges pollutants into the atmosphere, aggravating air pollution. We should refuse open-air barbecue, taste environmentally friendly food and enjoy a clean life.

  Burning garbage in the open air can produce more than 20 kinds of toxic pollutants, which seriously affect the atmospheric environment and human health. We should strengthen the management of garbage classification, refuse to burn garbage in the open air and build a beautiful home together.

  Pets urinate everywhere, urban sanitation can’t afford to hurt, and urban civilization can’t afford to hurt. We should cultivate our pets in a civilized way, starting from me, and guarding the harmonious life between people and animals.

The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a typhoon red warning at 18: 00 on September 1.

  CCTV News:The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a typhoon red warning at 18: 00 on September 1:

  The center of Typhoon Sura No.9 this year (super typhoon level) is located at 5 o’clock in the afternoon today (September 1) in the northeastern South China Sea, about 110 kilometers south-east of Hong Kong, that is, 22.0 degrees north latitude and 115.1 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is 17 (58 meters per second), the lowest pressure in the center is 925 hectopascals, and the radius of the seven-level wind circle is 250-280 kilometers.

  It is estimated that "Sura" will move from north to west at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, and its intensity will slowly weaken. It will land or brush the coast from Taishan to Shenzhen in Guangdong in the early morning of September 2 (strong typhoon level, 42-50 m/s, 14-15), and then move to the south-west direction.

  In addition, the center of the 11th typhoon "HAIKUI" this year is located at 5 o’clock in the afternoon today (September 1st) in the northwest Pacific Ocean about 770 kilometers south-east of Taipei City, Taiwan Province Province, which is 22.4 degrees north latitude and 128.5 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is 12 (33m/s), and the lowest pressure in the center is 975 hectopascals, with a seven-level wind circle.

  It is estimated that "Anemone" will move westward at a speed of 15-20km/h, and its intensity will gradually increase, with the strongest typhoon level (42-45m/s, level 14). It will land on the eastern coast of Taiwan Province Island around the evening of the 3rd, then pass through Taiwan Province Island and gradually approach the coast of Fujian.

  Gale forecast:From 20: 00 on September 1 to 20: 00 on September 2, affected by Sura, the Taiwan Province Strait, the central and southern South China Sea, the waters near Nansha Islands, zhongsha islands and Huangyan Island, and the coastal areas of Zhejiang will have 6-7 grades and gusts of 8-9 winds; There will be strong winds of 7-9 grades and gusts of 10-11 grades in the northwest of the South China Sea, Fujian coastal areas, Guangdong coastal areas, the Pearl River Estuary, Hong Kong and Macao, etc., and there will be strong winds of 10-12 grades in some of the above sea areas or areas, and the winds in the nearby seas or areas passing by the "Sura" center will be 13-17 grades and gusts of 17 or above; Affected by Anemone, there are 6-7 grades in the south and east of the East China Sea and east of Taiwan Province, 8-10 grades in some sea areas, and 11-12 winds in gusts.

  Precipitation forecast: From 20: 00 on September 1 to 20: 00 on September 2, due to the influence of Sura, there were heavy rains in southeastern Fujian, central and southern Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, among which there were heavy rains in parts of southern Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and local heavy rains (250-280 mm).

  Defense guide:

  1. The government and relevant departments shall, in accordance with their duties, do a good job in typhoon prevention and emergency rescue.

  2. Water operations and passing ships in relevant waters should return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind, strengthen port facilities, and prevent ships from anchoring, grounding and collision.

  3. Stop large-scale indoor and outdoor gatherings and dangerous outdoor operations such as high altitude.

  4. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easy to be blown by the wind. Personnel should not go out at will. They should stay in windproof and safe places as far as possible, so as to ensure that the elderly and children stay in the safest place at home, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time. When the typhoon center passes by, the wind will decrease or stay still for a period of time. Remember that the strong wind will suddenly blow and you should continue to stay in a safe place to avoid the wind.

  5. Relevant areas should pay attention to prevent flash floods and geological disasters that may be caused by heavy precipitation.

FAW Pentium pony starts at 26,900 yuan! More cost-effective than motorcycles?

On May 28th, a lot of new cars were released intensively, some were equipped with plug-in and hybrid systems, and some were BYD’s super-heavy cars. Another new car released on the same day was the most interesting one, although it was not as huge as the previous two cars.

?

It is called FAW, and it is a pure electric mini-car. The guide price range is only an astonishing 26,900-31,900 yuan. In fact, when it announced the pre-sale price before, the pre-sale price of 28,900 was shocking enough. Now, after the official sale price is announced, I just want to say: within 30,000, it is probably the best choice.

?

Isn’t it enough that this price can give you these?

?

First of all, we need to point out that for a car with a starting price of 20 thousand, you really can’t ask too much, especially if it is a pure electric car. Its own cost determines that the profit of this car is really very low at this price.

?

But what can you buy at this price similar to that of a motorcycle? Let’s take the lowest match as an example, with a size of 3000*1510*1630mm and a wheelbase of 1953mm. It is a typical mini-car figure, but it is still larger than the MINIEV. The permanent magnet synchronous motor supplied by Shandong Shuanglin has 27 horsepower, 9.4-degree battery (13.9-degree for middle and high-grade) and CLTC battery life of 122 kilometers (170 kilometers for middle and high-grade). Don’t laugh at its small horsepower and battery, and don’t look at its CLTC battery life of only 122 kilometers. You know, this is a mini car, and the endurance rate of this car will not be low. In other words, with its small size, its actual endurance, if you only run the city, 90-100 kilometers is not a problem.

?

Of course, like the MINIEV of the same class, its 27 horsepower means that it will be hard to run at high speed. This is not about power consumption, but its top speed may be less than 100 kilometers (MINIEV can’t run less than 100). Therefore, for this mini-car with less than 30 horses, if you have the need to run at high speed, it is recommended to be cautious.

?

So yes, its power is really weak, and its body is small. Although it is a four-seater car, it is very hard to take four adults. Basically, it can only put some sundries in the back row or give it to pets. But look at its appearance, look at its interior and look at its price. This price can give you this appearance, this interior, what else?

?

MINIEV or it?

?

In fact, it only has two cars: and Geely Panda. In these three cars, although the space is different, there is actually no difference. Anyway, they are all mini-cars, so don’t ask too much for space. It is enough for two people to sit comfortably in the front row.

?

As for the power, it’s all like this. The speed of a single motor with less than 30 horses is very low, and the power consumption of running in cities is extremely low. Although the batteries are small, the actual battery life is very good. And although they don’t support fast charging, this is actually not that necessary (the battery is small). So choose one of these three cars, how to choose?

?

In fact, if you choose one of the three prices, Pentium pony is really the best one. First of all, although the size and space of pandas are good, pandas use asynchronous motors, and the low-speed motor howling is very obvious. MINIEV, though the motor uses the same synchronous motor as Pony, has no low-frequency howling. But the exterior and interior of MINIEV are different from ponies.

?

Therefore, on the whole, at the ultra-low price of 20 thousand, Pentium pony is really the best choice at present.

Escalating trade friction will not help, and mutual benefit and win-win is the right way.

  There is no winner in the trade war, and escalating friction cannot solve economic and trade problems. If someone always tries to force China to submit by escalating economic and trade frictions, it is doomed to failure. It is impossible for China to give in to extreme pressure, which is inevitable regardless of anyone’s will.

  On the 30th, People’s Daily published an article signed by Zhong Ling, "Upgrading friction doesn’t help", which once again refuted the US’s actions of escalating economic and trade frictions.

  The article said that it is never difficult to find the information of "collision" between China and the United States by observing the economic and trade frictions. The contest between rationality and irrationality has become the most obvious feature of Sino-US economic and trade friction.

  On August 28th, local time, the US government once again announced that it would impose tariffs on China goods in stages. On the same day, the American Free Trade Union, composed of more than 160 American business organizations, jointly sent a letter to American leaders, demanding that all tariffs imposed on China goods be postponed immediately.

  Through one round after another, piles of question marks are placed in front of people: what is the problem that some people in the United States want to solve? Where is the solution? Some people in the United States are determined not to go back to the right track. What do they want? … … Reason tells the world that threatening to increase tariffs and escalating economic and trade frictions will not only help solve Sino-US economic and trade problems, but also create new difficulties for solving them.

  On the morning of August 30th, at the "Seminar on China’s Practice of International Rule of Law" held by the Institute of International Law of Wuhan University, the participating experts also made an in-depth interpretation of the actions of some Americans to initiate and escalate economic and trade frictions. The participating experts believed that the actions of these Americans seriously violated the rules of international law, including the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and undermined the international rule of law and international trade order. Since China joined the WTO, it has been fully fulfilling its commitments. In the face of unwarranted accusations and trade frictions provoked by some Americans, the countermeasures taken by China are fully based on international law. China firmly supports the multilateral trading system, resolutely opposes unilateralism and hegemonism, and is a staunch defender and builder of the international rule of law.

  The origin of economic and trade friction seems to be that some people in the United States regard the trade deficit as an absolute threat, and only the inflow of dollars is fair. But after a fight, where did the dollar go? With the increase in tariffs and rising prices, the dollars in the pockets of the American people are flowing out endlessly. The article published on the US Foreign Policy website also gives a new perspective: "What is little known is that it is not trade, but China’s investment in the United States." Agence France-Presse reported that US tariffs on goods from China will not solve the trade deficit problem.

  On the 29th, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it would lower the GDP growth rate in the second quarter of this year. According to the analysis, this is because the American economy is impacted by the uncertainty of its trade policy. At the same time, several trade associations in the United States have issued appeals in recent days to urge the US government to lift tariffs on China.

  According to the revised data released by the US Department of Commerce, in the second quarter of this year, the real GDP of the United States increased by 2% at an annual rate, which was 0.1 percentage point lower than the first estimated value previously announced, and also lower than the 3.1% in the first quarter. Analysts believe that due to the impact of trade policy and its uncertainty on the US economy, and the stimulating effect of tax cuts has basically disappeared, the US economic growth will slow down or become a foregone conclusion this year. It is estimated that the annual growth rate will be about 2.5%, which is lower than the 3% growth target set by the government.

  The National Taxpayers’ Union of the United States issued a document in its official website on the 29th, pointing out that the US trade policy has been in deep trouble, and imposing tariffs on China is not only ineffective, but also eats into the US economy.

  More than 200 footwear manufacturers and retailers in the United States sent a letter to the US government on the 28th, saying that the tariff increase would cost American consumers 4 billion dollars more each year, further increasing the risk of economic recession. According to reports, at present, the average tariff rate of shoes imported from China in the United States is 11%. After the United States further imposes tariffs, the tariff rate of some shoes will be as high as 67%.

  At the same time, about 160 trade associations, including the National Retail Association of the United States and the Machinery Manufacturing Association, also issued an appeal on the 28th, demanding that the US government postpone the policy of imposing tariffs on goods exported from China to the United States. The letter pointed out that increasing tariffs will hurt American workers and consumers and adversely affect the overall economic situation in the United States.

  According to the "2019 Annual Member Survey" released by u.s.-china business council on the 29th, the vast majority of American enterprises have made profits by operating in China, and China is still the priority market for most enterprises interviewed. According to this survey report, 97% of American companies surveyed made profits in China in 2019, which was the same as last year and remained at a high level in 10 years.

  On 30th, Economic Daily published a commentary article, "China Market" is our confidence to meet the challenge.

  The article points out that where the business environment is good, enterprises will invest there. This is a market economy and an economic law. It will be normal for China consumers to have huge demand for high-quality products, for China’s increasing purchasing power, and for China’s expanding market potential. This is the charm of China’s economy, and it is also the basis for us to meet all challenges.

  What we have to emphasize repeatedly is that mutual benefit and win-win is the choice that conforms to the trend of the times. To solve the economic and trade problems between China and the United States, we must focus on the common interests of both sides, show sincerity and actions to solve the problems, and effectively create conditions for the two sides to negotiate on the basis of equality and mutual respect, instead of going further and further on the wrong road. China has always believed that consultation and cooperation with a calm attitude is the correct way to truly solve the problem. This rational power is welcomed by the people of China and the United States and the people of the world.

Online celebrity restaurant live broadcast diners eat each other and lead to controversy, saying no to infringing live broadcast

  During May Day, Mr. Zhang, who lives near Zaoyuan Road in the west of Xi ‘an, had an argument with a online celebrity restaurant downstairs. Mr. Zhang said: "During the holiday, the business of this online celebrity restaurant was particularly good. When I was eating with my family, I saw the waiter taking pictures of everyone eating with his mobile phone and stopped it. The waiter said that the restaurant was being broadcast live on the platform, so let me not quarrel." "Without my knowledge, the restaurant broadcasted a number of diners including me on a live broadcast platform. I think the restaurant violated my portrait rights." Mr. Zhang said.

  In the era of "national live broadcast", live broadcast is not only a way for some young people to entertain, nor a way for online celebrity to make profits through live broadcast, but also has more commercial considerations, forming a complex business form. On a well-known live video platform, there are many live pictures of merchants. From the video content, some restaurants broadcast live diners for storefront promotion, which caused netizens to watch.

  These live broadcasts in public places are often only known by the units or personnel who broadcast them, but those who appear in the live footage are completely unaware. They all unconsciously acted as "extras" broadcast by others and became "props" to help some businesses expand their influence and attract business. I believe that most people, like Mr. Zhang, find it difficult to agree with the business practices.

  This kind of webcasting without the public’s knowledge involves not only moral and ethical issues, but also legal issues, which is suspected of infringement. From an ethical point of view, when we have a meal and rest, it is inevitable that we will have some unsightly performances. We certainly don’t want strangers to see them, but now they are broadcast live by merchants to netizens all over the country through hidden cameras, and even become the object of ridicule and teasing by netizens.

  From a legal point of view, if the merchant’s live broadcast is to expand its influence, it has a profit-making purpose, which infringes on the portrait right of the live broadcast. Even if the business is not for profit, in the act of using other people’s portraits without the consent of the parties, unless there are legitimate reasons, such as news reports and "wanted orders" from public security organs, it also constitutes an infringement of portrait rights.

  Some businesses or units don’t know that this is illegal, which shows that in the era of "national live broadcast", our awareness of privacy protection has not kept pace with the development of information dissemination, which will inevitably lead to the frequent occurrence of similar infringement problems. As a citizen, we should learn from Mr. Zhang in the news. When our privacy rights are violated by businesses, we should actively make our own voices and take up legal weapons to actively defend our rights when necessary. This is a kind of vigilance for businesses and a kind of popularization of law. When there are more and more such people, it will objectively bring restraint to the live broadcast behavior of businesses or individuals. (Tiange)

Obama announced his support for Biden: he is the best person to lead the United States through the epidemic.

  BEIJING, April 15 (Xinhua) According to the US Chinese website, former US President Barack Obama officially endorsed Democratic presidential candidate and former vice president Biden on the 14th. Obama recorded a video speech at home, in which he said Biden was the best person to lead the United States through a crisis similar to the COVID-19 epidemic.

  According to reports, Obama praised Biden’s leadership in the video. He said that "this kind of leadership was created by Biden’s accumulated knowledge and experience, his honesty, humility and empathy. This kind of leadership belongs not only to our state legislature and legislature, but also to the White House, which is why I am proud to support Biden’s campaign for the US president. " At the end of his speech, he promised to participate in Biden’s campaign as soon as possible.

  Biden’s campaign team issued its first donation request in the name of Obama a few minutes after Obama expressed his support. It is understood that according to sources, at present, the campaign team is discussing letting Obama participate in virtual fundraising activities with major donors and other video fundraising activities for small donors.

  Biden’s campaign will also benefit from the participation of the popular former first lady Michelle Obama. Aides said that Michelle will participate in fundraising, voter registration and mobilization voting.

  Since Senator Sanders from Vermont withdrew from the election last week and Biden became the most powerful presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, it is widely expected that Obama will formally endorse Biden. The report pointed out that this move also marks the re-emergence of Obama on the political stage. The former president kept a low profile for most of the Democratic nomination battle.

  But in fact, the report pointed out that Obama has been very active behind the scenes. In November 2019, Obama said that he talked with all Democratic candidates during the campaign and gave them advice, such as: consider why you think you should be president, what impact this will have on your family, and whether you can really win.

  With Sanders’ withdrawal, Biden is already the de facto Democratic presidential candidate. On the 13th, Sanders officially announced his endorsement of Biden’s bid for the presidency, which is regarded as an important step in the integration of forces within the Democratic Party. According to the analysis, with the support of Obama and Sanders, Biden now has the support of the most famous figures in the Democratic Party’s establishment and progressives, and the Democratic Party has once again achieved inner-party unity.

  At present, the media is focusing on Biden’s deputy candidate, who had promised to choose a female partner. Kamala D. Harris and Crobu Che, who dropped out earlier, are both potential candidates.

  In a statement on the 14th, President Trump’s campaign team hinted that Obama was unwilling to support his former vice president to some extent. Despite the deep friendship between Obama and his former vice president, Obama also awarded President Biden the Medal of Freedom. Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager for the 2020 general election, said, "Obama had no choice but to support Biden, and even Bernie Sanders almost defeated Biden."
