The Three "Effective" aspects of the China Tour of High-quality Foreign Trade Products

He Yadong introduced that the effectiveness of the "China Tour of Foreign Trade Quality Products" event can be summarized in three "effective" aspects.

The first is to effectively assist enterprises whose exports are hindered. By holding the "China Tour of Quality Foreign Trade Products" event, it has helped foreign trade enterprises enter the domestic market, promoting stable employment, enterprises, the market and expectations.

The second is to effectively enrich new supply of consumption. The Ministry of Commerce focuses on promoting high-quality foreign trade products to enter the domestic market, creating new demands through new supplies and meeting the people's needs for a better life. The major e-commerce platforms and wholesale and retail enterprises have established direct domestic sales channels for foreign trade enterprises, promoting high-quality foreign trade products to enter thousands of households. At present, chain supermarkets have set up over 700 offline counters, and 11 e-commerce platforms have established online special zones.

Third, it effectively promotes the integrated operation of domestic trade. While organizing the event well, the Ministry of Commerce is making efforts to create an institutional environment for the integration of domestic trade and remove the bottlenecks and obstacles existing in domestic sales.

For instance, a green channel will be opened for foreign trade enterprises to apply for compulsory certification, and efforts will be made to solve the 30 standard certification issues that enterprises have concentratively reflected. He Yadong said that these measures have strengthened the confidence of enterprises in domestic sales.

He Yadong said that in the next step, the Ministry of Commerce will continue to hold the "China Tour of Quality Foreign Trade Products" event well, strive to build high-level platform carriers, better promote the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade, and focus on doing well in "three improvements".

In addition to enhancing the quality of the event's organization, He Yadong said that the Ministry of Commerce will increase policy support and ensure the implementation of the 15 supportive policies that have already been introduced. Among them, the key is to implement the "three increases and three decreases" support policies well, make good use of the support measures in the three aspects of finance, banking and insurance, promote the reduction or exemption of booth fees, traffic fees and house rents for enterprises in difficulty, and enhance the sense of gain of enterprises.

In addition, the integrated capabilities of enterprises will also be enhanced. We will carry out the action of doubling the number of enterprises integrating domestic and foreign trade, cultivate a number of leading enterprises in the integration of domestic and foreign trade, build a number of comprehensive service platforms for the integration of domestic and foreign trade, help more enterprises operate in the integration of domestic and foreign trade, and thereby enhance the development level of integration.

A certain number of compliant applications have been lawfully approved

When asked by another reporter about China's approval of rare earth export licenses to the EU, He Yadong said that China has always attached great importance to maintaining the stability and security of the global production and supply chain. It has been accelerating the review of rare earth-related export license applications in accordance with laws and regulations, and has approved a certain number of compliant applications in accordance with the law. It will continue to strengthen the approval of compliant applications. China is willing to further enhance communication and dialogue on export control with relevant countries on this matter and actively promote convenient and compliant trade.

According to a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce earlier this month, rare earth-related items have dual-use attributes for both military and civilian purposes, and implementing export controls on them is in line with international common practices. China has imposed export controls on rare earth-related items in accordance with the law. The aim is to better safeguard national security and interests, fulfill international obligations such as non-proliferation, and reflect its consistent position of maintaining world peace and regional stability.

In April this year, the launch ceremony of the "Foreign Trade Quality Products China Tour" was held in Haikou. This event is an important measure taken by the Ministry of Commerce to implement the decisions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and The State Council on promoting the integration of domestic and foreign trade and helping foreign trade products expand domestic sales. It aims to smooth the domestic sales channels for foreign trade enterprises, cope with external shocks, and contribute to stabilizing foreign trade and expanding consumption.
