In 2015, bilateral trade between China and the relevant countries amounted to 995 billion 500 million US dollars, accounting for 25.1% of the total trade volume of the country.

This year, our country

The unprecedented strength of mergers and acquisitions has also led to criticism by some politicians in a few developed economies, including the United States.

In response, Shen Danyang responded that more and more powerful Chinese enterprises began to invest abroad and carry out international operations. This is the result of China's continuous deepening of reform and opening up and the increasing competitiveness of enterprises.

Chinese enterprises actively carry out foreign investment cooperation in accordance with market rules and business rules, strictly abide by the laws of the host countries, actively fulfill their social responsibilities, enhance the level of local economic development, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

In 2015, overseas enterprises invested by Chinese enterprises invested more than 19 billion dollars in tax to invest in host countries, employing more than 830 thousand foreign employees.

Turning to the question of the status of China's market economy, Shen Danyang pointed out that the fifteenth issues of "market economy status" and "China's accession to the WTO Protocol" are two concepts.

"

The fifteenth article is about the practice of "substitute country" in anti-dumping.

According to this provision, the practice of using the "substitute country" price in the anti-dumping investigation of China's export products should be terminated in December 11, 2016. After that, WTO members can not continue to use the "alternative country" approach to Chinese exports.

This is a treaty obligation that members of WTO must abide by.

Whether members of the US and Europe recognize China's market economy status, they must fulfill fifteenth obligations on schedule and abandon the "alternative countries" approach.

The Chinese side resolutely opposes any misinterpretation and delays in the implementation of this provision, urges members of the US and Europe to take the necessary measures as soon as possible to ensure the abandoning of the "alternative countries" on schedule and jointly uphold the authority of the multilateral trading system.

In terms of foreign trade enterprises, from late February to early March, the Ministry of Commerce organized 17 research teams to carry out field research in 20 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, accounting for 97% of the total import and export volume in Guangdong and Jiangsu.

Mainly around the export volume accounted for 70% of the country's household electrical appliances, automobiles and other 20 major export industries, on the one hand, "one to one" interviewed 200 typical enterprises, on the other hand, 3000 enterprises conducted a questionnaire survey, to understand the main difficulties and aspirations of enterprises.

From 20 local surveys, it is generally believed that this year's foreign trade situation is more complex and severe, and the downward pressure has increased. However, the trend of China's export structure adjustment has not changed. The trend of China's international market share has not changed. The fundamentals of foreign trade development have not changed. According to the survey of 3000 enterprises, insufficient demand in the international market, rapid rise in export costs, fluctuation in the RMB exchange rate and financing difficulties are the main factors affecting export.

Shen Danyang disclosed that the Ministry of Commerce recently issued a notice that the 119th Canton Fair will further reduce the cost of exhibitors.

The cost reduction is unprecedented. For example, the average booth charge per export area is 4000 yuan lower than the 117th Canton Fair, a drop of 18%, which will total 240 million yuan for enterprises.
