Shenzhen’s top trading partner is ASEAN?

Leave a reply

According to Shenzhen Customs, in the first two months of this year, ASEAN surpassed Hong Kong to become Shenzhen’s largest trading partner, with imports and exports of 106.92 billion yuan, an increase of 58.1%, accounting for 15.8% of Shenzhen’s total imports and exports in the same period.

In the first two months of this year, ASEAN remained China’s largest trading partner. The total trade value between China and ASEAN was 993.24 billion yuan, up by 8.1%, accounting for 15% of China’s foreign trade. China and ASEAN have been each other’s largest trading partner for four consecutive years.

During the same period, Shenzhen’s import and export to and from the top ten trading partners maintained growth, accounting for 73.9% of the total import and export. Shenzhen’s second to fifth trading partners are Hong Kong, the United States, the European Union and Taiwan, with year-on-year import and export growth of 12.5%, 62.4%, 20.9% and 13.5% respectively.

With the accelerated restructuring of the global industrial chain and the effective implementation of RCEP, the momentum of Shenzhen’s openness and cooperation with ASEAN has been further enhanced.

Shenzhen and ASEAN give full play to their respective comparative advantages, strengthen infrastructure connectivity, enhance the level of investment and trade facilitation, deepen the integration and development of the industrial chain supply chain, and the continued expansion of the scale of trade in intermediate goods, which has become an important factor driving the growth of Shenzhen’s foreign trade.

In addition, one of the reasons for the faster growth of Shenzhen’s import and export to ASEAN is that some European and American brands have set up their factories in ASEAN countries, and the intermediate goods and raw materials still need to be purchased from China, so some Chinese SMEs are now also going to ASEAN to take orders.

In the first two months of this year, Shenzhen import and export 675.18 billion yuan, up 45% year-on-year, the scale of the same period in history, the import and export growth rate of the country’s top ten foreign trade cities first. Among them, exports 441.44 billion yuan, an increase of 53.1%; imports 233.74 billion yuan, an increase of 31.9%.

Resist Vietnam border guards asking for ‘tips’

Leave a reply

Recently, the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam received a report from Chinese citizens who were asked for “tips” by Vietnamese port staff when entering Vietnam. Our pavilion attaches great importance to this and has lodged solemn representations with the relevant departments of the Vietnamese side, urging the Vietnamese side to take effective measures to strengthen the investigation and punishment of illegal acts, and resolutely put an end to public officials at ports receiving “tips” in any form. The Chinese Embassy will continue to closely follow relevant developments and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens.

The Chinese Embassy in Vietnam once again reminds Chinese citizens that the Vietnamese government clearly prohibits public officials at ports from collecting “tips”, and foreign citizens are not required to pay “tips” to local public officials when entering or leaving Vietnam through air or land ports.

Experience a New Year in Malaysia

Leave a reply

The melody of “Gong Xi Fa CAI” is heard in my ears, and the buildings along the street are decorated with golden long queues, passing by tourists in Han and Tang costumes… These are common scenes seen in many parts of China during the Chinese New Year of the Dragon, and also in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.

Many industry insiders said that the strong Chinese New Year flavor in Kuala Lumpur is closely related to the mutual visa exemption between China and Malaysia. China has previously announced that it will implement a unilateral visa-free entry policy for six countries, including Malaysia, from December 1, 2023. Malaysia also announced that from December 1, 2023, Malaysia will implement visa-free measures for Chinese citizens within 30 days of entry.

The Malaysian government also hopes that outbound Chinese tourists will drive the recovery of Malaysia’s tourism industry. On Lunar New Year’s Eve, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim took part in the activities at Ji Chang Street in Malacca to experience the thick Spring Festival atmosphere with local citizens and tourists. On the first and second days of the Chinese New Year, Malaysian Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Zhang Qingxin made a special trip to Kuala Lumpur International Airport to greet Chinese tourists and bring them souvenirs.

From high-rise Kuala Lumpur to the historic city of Malacca, Chinese tourists visiting Malaysia are welcoming the New Year on their travels and enjoying new experiences that are both familiar and novel.
