Shu Ji Ting:

China has noticed that the United States has recently sanited the relevant Chinese enterprises for reasons involving Russia, Iran, and military involved in the army. The United States is based on the name of "maintaining international order". It is a typical economic coercion, which is a typical economic stress, seriously damage the international economic and trade order and trade rules, and seriously threatens the global industrial chain chain. The supply chain is stable, and serious damage includes the vital interests of enterprises, including China and the United States. China has resolutely opposed it.

The United States should immediately correct the error and stop sanctions on Chinese companies. China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests. It is hoped that the United States and China will do things that are beneficial to the global industrial chain supply chain and the global economic recovery. Thanks!

China News Agency reporter:

According to reports, BMW's third factory opened in Shenyang opened on June 23. The factory's investment exceeded 2 billion euros, which is the largest investment in China so far in China. What are the new measures for the Ministry of Commerce in terms of service key foreign -funded projects and increasing attraction of foreign capital?

Shu Ji Ting:

According to our understanding, a number of multinational companies, including BMW, have accelerated their investment layouts in China since this year, which fully shows that foreign companies have no confidence in the Chinese market and are optimistic about the long -term development prospects in China. In order to continuously optimize the foreign investment environment, the Ministry of Commerce actively coordinated all parties through special foreign -funded projects, and increased its service guarantees and support for key foreign -funded projects in the country, helping enterprises to solve problems, and promoted project landing construction. From January to May of this year, the large-scale foreign investment of more than 100 million US dollars in the contract reached 47.68 billion US dollars, an increase of 40.3%year-on-year, accounting for 54.3%of the actual use of foreign capital in the same period.

In order to implement a solid and solid policy of the economy, a policy and measures for the economic package, the Ministry of Commerce has recently issued a guiding document on the guarantee of the service guarantee of key foreign -funded projects and actively attracting foreign capital, and focuses on the following four aspects. Working mechanism for work, "one -to -one" strengthening key foreign -funded projects and service guarantees for enterprises. The second is to establish a dynamic renewal mechanism for the national key foreign -funded project list, guide localities to further sort out key foreign -funded projects of more than US $ 100 million, and optimize the formation of a new list of national key foreign projects. The third is to comprehensively strengthen service guarantees, increase provincial -level overall efforts, ensure the reasonable needs of key foreign -funded projects, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors.

China Daily reporter:

Recently, the Seventh -way Group Summit issued a joint communiqué, saying that China has the so -called "non -market" policy and practices of the global economy and the problem of "forced labor". what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?

Shu Ji Ting:

We notice the relevant content in the communiqué. Regarding the so -called "non -market" policies and practices in China, this statement lacks not only the basis of international economic and trade rules, but also does not match the facts. Globally, there are different market economy models. The success of China's economy over the past 40 years is the success of the reform and opening up policy, and it is also the success of the role of the market mechanism and the effective combination of the government. This is a valuable experience in China's economic development. Regarding the so -called "forced labor" problem of Xinjiang is not in line with the facts. Chinese law clearly prohibits forced labor. In fact, the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang are completely free and equal, and the labor rights and interests have been effectively guaranteed in accordance with the law, and the living standards are continuously improved. Thanks!

Recently, the European Parliament voted for the draft law of the carbon market reform, and called for the carbon border regulation mechanism as soon as possible.

Shu Ji Ting:

We noticed that the European Parliament recently passed the position document on the draft legislation of the carbon border regulation mechanism, and suggested to expand the product coverage. China believes that the principle of "common but different responsibilities" is the cornerstone of global climate governance. Relevant legislative measures of the European party should comply with the rules of WTO, avoid forming a new trade barrier, to promote liberalization and facilitation of trade investment in the green field, and to deal with them together climate change. Thanks!

Shu Ji Ting:

China -Australia has carried out pragmatic cooperation in the field of economic and trade, which is in line with the fundamental and long -term interests of the people of the two countries. It is hoped that the Australian side will summarize the past, facing the future, adhere to the principles of mutual respect, mutual benefit and win -win results, and take practical actions to act with China to create favorable conditions for the healthy and stable development of bilateral economic and trade relations.
