On May 11, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference. Sun Jiwen, a spokesperson, responded to hot and sensitive issues of high concern to domestic and foreign media. The record is as follows:

I. Regarding the relevant situation of training for countries along the “Belt and Road”.

2017 is the key year for the inauguration of President Inapin’s initiative at the 70th anniversary of the United Nations and the Johannesburg Summit of the China-Africa Cooperation Forum. Carrying out foreign aid training is one of the important measures taken by the Chinese government to implement the “Belt and Road Initiative” and strengthen South-South cooperation. In recent years, we have increased resources, enriched curriculum, and innovative training methods. We have trained more than 100,000 talents for the countries along the route, and constantly expanded the “friend circle” along the line to help escort the “Belt and Road” construction.

The first is to cultivate high-end talents and to build a consensus on cooperation. We have established the South-South Cooperation and Development Institute at Peking University to open a national degree education and training for national government officials and social elites. In the first phase of 2016, 49 students from 23 countries were selected to share the road of Chinese governance and self-help, and help countries explore their own development models and roads.

The second is to cooperate with major projects and consolidate the foundation of cooperation. Organized 92 special training courses in the fields of rail transit, steel and electric power, and trained nearly 3,000 students; organized operational management seminars such as Zhongbai (Russia) Industrial Park and Zambia Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone; implemented inspection and quarantine, statistical information, port management, etc. Field professional training, introducing China's development experience to countries along the route, promoting technology, service exchange and project cooperation, and comprehensively improving foreign management capabilities and trade facilitation.

The third is to build a communication platform and promote financial cooperation. Implement more than 20 special training courses on financial management, hold financial cooperation roundtables, interpret the financing policies of Silk Road Fund and AIIB, understand the needs of foreign funds, promote two-way docking, and deepen investment and financing cooperation.

The fourth is to focus on people's livelihood and reduce poverty. Vigorously carry out assistance in the areas of agriculture, education, medical care, poverty alleviation and other areas of the people's livelihood, increase the "going out" overseas training arrangements, focus on strengthening the training of young people and women's technical skills, and effectively help the countries along the line to improve people's livelihood, create jobs, and enhance their ability to develop independently.

In the next step, we will combine the “One Belt, One Road” and “five links” construction, continue to strengthen foreign aid training, carefully design and careful preparation, so that the national exchange platform along the “Belt and Road” will be more dynamic, and the bridge of friendship will be smoother. Our "friend circle" is getting bigger and bigger.

2. Information on China-Africa economic and trade cooperation in the first quarter of 2017.

I mentioned earlier that this year is the key year for the "Ten Major Cooperation Plan" proposed by Chairman Xi Jinping at the Johannesburg Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation. In the first quarter, the policy dividends of the “Ten Major Cooperation Programs” continued to accelerate and release, and China-Africa economic and trade cooperation achieved new achievements. The main cooperation indicators were generally good and highlighted.

Among them, China's imports from Africa amounted to 18.4 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 46%, an increase of 70 percentage points over the same period of last year; China's exports to Africa reached 20.5 billion U.S. dollars, down 1% year-on-year, but the decline was 17% lower than the same period last year.

It can be said that China-Africa economic and trade cooperation in the first quarter has achieved a good start. It is believed that under the impetus of the "Ten Major Cooperation Programs", China-Africa economic and trade cooperation is expected to continue its good momentum and move to a higher level throughout the year, and continue to contribute to the economic development of China and Africa.

3. Relevant progress on the South-South Cooperation and Development Institute.

The South-South Cooperation and Development Institute is a major initiative announced by President Xi Jinping at the series of 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. It is of great significance for promoting the sharing of development experience and promoting South-South cooperation among developing countries.

On April 29, 2016, the South-South Cooperation and Development Institute was formally established; on September 9, the first batch of students was enrolled, including the first batch of master's and doctoral students from 23 developing countries. Since the beginning of the school, the school has carefully set up teaching courses, invited well-known professors from the economic and political sciences to come to teach; organize students to visit Shenzhen, Huizhou and other places to visit and study, visit famous Chinese enterprises, observe agricultural and industrial production lines on the spot; share the development experience of various countries, Deepen understanding of China's economic development. The participants generally believe that the South-South cooperation represented by China's aid is not a conditional, and is a model of mutual benefit and win-win. The “One Belt, One Road” initiative fully embodies the concept of mutual benefit and common development in China.

At present, Nannan College has started the enrollment work for 2017. We welcome the developing countries to actively recommend and recommend suitable candidates for registration. The Ministry of Commerce will work with Peking University to mobilize the best educational resources in the country and strive to make Nannan College the most attractive national development research institution, the most promising developing country high-end talent training base and the most dynamic developing country. Communication platform.

4. About the recent construction of the free trade zone.

Recently, we are more concerned about the China-Canada Free Trade Area Joint Feasibility Study, the China-New Zealand FTA escalation negotiations, and the results of the 8th anniversary of the China-Peru Free Trade Agreement. Now inform the reporters about the progress.

On April 24-28, the second meeting of the China-Canada Free Trade Zone Joint Feasibility Study and Exploratory Discussion was held in Ottawa. The meeting achieved good results. According to the work arrangement, the third meeting will be held in Beijing in the second half of this year. The two sides will analyze the potential of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries in joint feasibility study, and exchange views on their respective concerns and expectations of non-trade agreements through exploratory discussions, and provide a reference for the two governments to initiate negotiations on free trade zones in the future. .

On April 25-27, the first round of the China-New Zealand FTA escalation negotiations was held in Beijing. The two sides have conducted fruitful consultations on technical trade barriers, customs procedures and trade facilitation, rules of origin, trade in services, competition policy, e-commerce, agricultural cooperation, environment, government procurement and other issues. According to the work arrangement, the second round of negotiations will be held in early July this year.

The China-Peru Free Trade Agreement was signed in 2009 and implemented in March 2010. It is the first package of free trade agreements between China and Latin American countries. In the past eight years since the signing of the agreement, the results have been remarkable, which has led to the rapid development of bilateral economic and trade relations. In the first quarter of this year, bilateral trade volume reached US$4.83 billion, a year-on-year increase of 40.7%. For three consecutive years, China has become Peru's largest trading partner, the largest export market and the largest source of imports. Peru has also leapt to China's fourth largest trading partner in Latin America. According to the agreement tax reduction arrangement, more than 70% of the products have achieved zero tariffs. In order to further play the role of the FTA, during the visit to Peru in November 2016, President Xi Jinping announced the launch of a joint study on the upgrading of the FTA. At present, the two sides are actively implementing the consensus of the leaders of the two countries.

V. Relevant information on parallel imports of automobiles from January to April of 2017.

The pilot of parallel import of automobiles is an important starting point for promoting the structural reform of the supply side of the automobile circulation field. At present, the scope of the pilot has been expanded to nine provinces and cities (including cities with separate plans), and a series of policies and measures to promote the parallel import of automobiles have been introduced. The pilot work has achieved good results.

First, it better meets the needs of diversified and multi-level automobile consumption. Since the pilot, 89,636 vehicles have been imported in parallel; among them, 26,970 vehicles were imported in parallel from January to April 2017, a year-on-year increase of 1.6 times. In 2016, there were more than 140 parallel imported models, more than 20 more than in 2015, which improved the supply of the automobile market, effectively promoted competition in the automobile market, and played a positive role in guiding the reasonable return of imported cars and even the entire automobile market.

The second is the formation of a batch of experience that can be replicated and promoted. In November 2016, the Ministry of Commerce held a national symposium on parallel import of automobiles in Shenzhen, summarizing and summarizing the pilot experience of “One Platform and Four Systems”, namely, establishing a one-stop public service platform, an international market procurement system, and a trade facilitation and customs clearance system. After-sales service guarantee system and government regulatory information system. “One Platform and Four Systems” is a concentrated expression of the pilot reform and innovation experience. It has seized the four key links of supply, customs clearance, after-sales and supervision, innovated the role of the third-party integrated service platform, and supported SMEs to carry out parallel import-related businesses. It has a strong reference for further pilot work.

In the next step, we will actively implement the State Council's deployment requirements for piloting parallel imports of automobiles, improve pilot policy measures, comprehensively summarize and evaluate the effectiveness of pilot projects, accelerate the replication and promotion of pilot experience, and improve the consumption of automobiles, maintain the stability of foreign trade, and promote economic stability. Development makes a greater contribution.

6. Regarding the administrative punishments for cases in which the concentration of business operators has not been reported in accordance with the law since 2017.

Since 2017, our ministry has completed four investigations and investigations on suspected cases that have not been filed according to law, and made administrative punishment decisions according to law, including the United States and the United States, the health, the net worth, the Information Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. and other parties involved in the acquisition of Ci Ming health checkup Management Group Co., Ltd., Guangsheng Hong Kong Holdings Co., Ltd. acquired the equity of Australia Pan-Australia Co., Ltd., Korea Ossia Co., Ltd. acquired the equity of Deshan Malaysia Company and Cummins (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and Xiangyang Kanghao Electromechanical Engineering Co., Ltd. The company established a joint venture case. According to the investigation, the above-mentioned cases constitute a concentration of operators who have not been declared illegally in accordance with the law. They do not have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition. They have decided to impose a fine of 300,000 yuan on the health of the United States and a fine of 150,000 yuan on the vast Hong Kong. The sub-office imposed a fine of 150,000 yuan and imposed a fine of 150,000 yuan on Cummins China and Xiangyang Kanghao.

It is hoped that the above-mentioned penalized enterprises and all operators will operate in accordance with the law and in accordance with the law, and that they will not be implemented without approval. The Ministry of Commerce will continue to strengthen the investigation and handling of cases that have not been legally declared, strictly enforce the law, effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, whistle-blowers and third parties, and make decisions on the basis of law to protect the market competition order.

Q: On April 28th, the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) released the "Special 301 Report 2017" and continued to include China in the list of key observation countries with weak intellectual property protection. What is the response from the Ministry of Commerce?

A: We have noticed that the Office of the US Trade Representative released the Special 301 Report on Intellectual Property on April 28, once again placing China on the key watch list. The Chinese side expressed serious concern about this. For a long time, the United States unilaterally issued the "Special 301 Report", which judged and accused the intellectual property rights of other countries, lacked objective standards and fairness, and was generally opposed by the countries concerned.

China attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights and has taken many effective measures. The status of intellectual property protection has been continuously improved and its achievements are obvious to all. We urge the US to conscientiously implement the commitments made under the China-US Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade to objectively, impartially and kindly evaluate the efforts and achievements of foreign governments including China in the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights. China is willing to work with various countries including the United States to strengthen communication, exchanges and cooperation in intellectual property rights and create a better legal environment for bilateral economic and trade relations.

Q: Recently, in a document published by the WTO, China mentioned that China proposes to tighten the rules on when countries can levy anti-dumping and countervailing duties, saying that these taxes are increasing and often abused, and distorting international trade. . What is the response from the Ministry of Commerce?

A: According to the Doha negotiation authorization, the rules negotiation includes three issues: anti-dumping, subsidies and countervailing, and fishery subsidies. Anti-dumping and countervailing issues have always been the main content of rule negotiations and a core component of the Doha development agenda. The current world economic recovery is slow, trade protectionism is on the rise, due to the ambiguity and ambiguity of the current rules, and the development of trade remedy unilateralism, the improper use of anti-dumping and countervailing measures has frequently occurred, against international trade and members under investigation. The domestic market has caused serious disturbances, and the WTO disputes have been increasing.

Under this circumstance, in order to implement the Doha negotiating authority and clarify and strengthen the existing discipline, the Chinese side proposed a proposal on anti-dumping and anti-subsidy based on previous negotiations and consensus, in order to promote the negotiation of rules in a balanced manner, thereby promoting the healthy development of the multilateral trading system.

At present, the WTO Rules Negotiating Group is discussing extensively the disciplines related to fisheries subsidies in rule negotiations, but it is not discussing the issue of fisheries subsidies in China or a particular member. The Chinese side believes that the issue of fishery subsidies and anti-dumping and countervailing issues are part of the Doha Round rules negotiations and should be balanced. China has always adhered to the Doha negotiating mandate, fully and actively participated in the negotiations on anti-dumping, subsidy and countervailing and fishery subsidies, and is committed to promoting comprehensive and balanced results in rule negotiations and maintaining and developing a rules-based multilateral trading system.

Q: Recently, vegetable prices in the country have continued to fall. In response to the problem of slow-moving vegetables in some areas, what measures has the Ministry of Commerce taken to prevent rapeseeds and farmers?

A: Since the Spring Festival, the national vegetable prices have continued to fall, and the recent decline has shown an accelerated decline. According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Commerce, the average wholesale price of 30 kinds of vegetables in 36 large and medium-sized cities nationwide fell by 23.1% during the Spring Festival period, down 13.1% from the same period of last year. Among them, the prices of vegetables in 35 cities and 27 varieties decreased year-on-year. It has fallen for eight consecutive weeks, the lowest level in the same period in the past six years.

The recent sharp decline in vegetable prices was mainly due to the increase in market supply. This year, the planting area of ​​some vegetable varieties has expanded and production has increased. At the same time, in the winter and spring, the gas is warmer, the vegetables grow better, the northern vegetables are listed in advance, and overlap with the southern spring vegetables, which leads to an increase in the stage supply.

Objectively speaking, adequate supply of vegetables, enriched the 603,883 people, buying food basket, but we also noticed that more and more varieties of vegetables there was a certain degree of slow-moving phenomenon.

In response to the above situation, we promptly instructed the competent commercial authorities at all levels to solve the problem of unsalable vegetables in the shortest time. On the one hand, strengthen market monitoring and information release. Through the mass media and the Ministry of Commerce "business forecast" special website and other business system information release platform timely and accurate release of sub-regional, sub-variety market information

On the other hand, promote production and marketing communication. We use rural e-commerce platforms to help vegetable farmers expand their sales. For example, Henan Luyi, Zhejiang Zhoushan, Shandong Liaocheng and other places actively cooperate with large supermarkets and farmer's markets in the local and surrounding areas to promote purchasers to increase the number of purchases; Shandong Heze has set up a yam cooperative to send unsalable yam to Jinan.

In the coming months, the weather conditions in most parts of the country will generally contribute to the growth of vegetables, and vegetable prices will continue to decline. The Ministry of Commerce will also closely monitor supply and demand and price changes, and release relevant information in a timely manner to better guide production and operation.
