v5 Chapter 805: The interests of the people

On September 20th, Fan Wuyi and Shen Ying flew from Sydney to Wellington, New Zealand. Here is the round with the Chinese delegation.

This is also the first time a Chinese national has visited New Zealand. Therefore, the reception standard of the other party is the highest. Obviously, New Zealand attaches great importance to this visit.

Fan Wubing and Shen Ying appeared in the delegation as representatives of industrial and commercial circles. Their appearance also attracted great attention from the media. After all, the wedding of the two people before can be said to be shocking to the world, plus their own personalities. The identity is also a heavyweight, so I naturally snatched a lot of shots, especially the media from foreign countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan followed them.

New Zealand is also a Commonwealth country, facing Australia across the Tasman Sea to the west, and Tonga and Fiji to the north. New Zealand is composed of North Island, South Island, Stewart Island and some small islands nearby, covering an area of ​​more than 270,000 square kilometers and an exclusive economic zone of 1.2 million square kilometers.

New Zealand is known for its "green". Although the territory is mountainous, it has a temperate maritime climate with little temperature difference in the four seasons. Plants grow very luxuriantly. The forest coverage rate is 30%. Natural pastures or farms account for half of the country's land area. , The vast forests and pastures make New Zealand a veritable green kingdom.

New Zealand is rich in hydropower resources, and 80% of the country's electricity is hydropower.

Mount Ruapehu, the first peak of the North Island, is nearly 2,800 meters high. On the volcano is Lake Taupo, the largest lake in New Zealand. It covers an area of ​​more than 600 square kilometers. There is Mount Cook, the country's first peak, on the South Island. The Franz Josef and Fuchs glaciers in the Alps are the lowest glaciers in the world. There are a series of glacial lakes outside the mountain, and Sutherland Falls has a drop of 580 meters, which is among the highest in the world.

At the airport, the first thing that welcomed the whole visiting delegation was the Maori dance.

The Maori were the first inhabitants of New Zealand. In the 14th century AD, Maori came to New Zealand from Polynesia and became the earliest residents of New Zealand. In 1840, the United Kingdom forced the Maori chief to sign the Treaty of Waitangi. The land was divided into the territory of the British Empire. New Zealand gained full autonomy in 1947, but it is still a member of the Commonwealth.

The Maori have a long history and splendid culture. Their carving arts are exquisite, ranging from eaves to small canes. Their dances are unique. The bright national costumes, beautiful garlands, the green jade hanging on the neck and the rush skirt tied around the waist fully demonstrate the unique ethnic customs of the Maori. The welcome dance of the Maori is the official welcome of New Zealand guests. The highest etiquette.

The New Zealand Maori welcome guests is very special. There was a family-style welcome ceremony. At the beginning, the venue was silent. The men and women lined up neatly on both sides. After a long period of silence, a middle-aged man, bare-backed and barefoot, suddenly walked out. He yelled loudly and then sang loudly. As soon as the singing fell, the young girls danced gracefully, and the people around them sang in a low voice. After the dancing and singing stopped, they walked over one by one to bow their noses with the guests. Touch the tip of the nose to the tip of the nose three times, the welcome will enter the **.

There is also a challenge-style welcome ceremony. The welcome is all ethnically dressed, shirtless and barefoot, wearing a grass skirt, with a mask painted on the face, holding a spear, shouting while waving at the guests, and sticking out their tongues from time to time. . When approaching the guests, throw a sword or a leafy branch on the ground. At this time, the guest must pick it up and hold it respectfully until the other party has finished dancing, and then return it with both hands. This is the oldest welcome gift and the most solemn.

This time, New Zealand welcomed the No. 1 chief and waited for the visitors. It was this challenging welcoming ceremony. Fan Wubing and Shen Ying watched the Maori singing and dancing in the welcome queue. They both found it very interesting and sighed. There was no wasting in the trip this time.

There are less than 400,000 Maori in New Zealand. Their skin was slightly brown. Fortunately, the British immigrants and their descendants who came here were merciful, so that the New Zealand Maori did not suffer the same fate of mass murder as the indigenous Australians. The process of social civilization has reached the modern age, and the Maori have already had very good living conditions.

After the welcoming ceremony, the brains of both sides made a brief statement to the media at the airport, and then drove to the prime minister's residence, probably to attend a reception or something, and then it was their turn to discuss matters.

There are many people attending the cocktail party, but the Western cocktail party is generally not as luxurious as the Eastern one. It is more like a buffet, except that there are more drinks and more things to eat. It is not so much a meal. Rather, it's just giving everyone a chance to get to know each other.

Fan Wubing and Shen Ying received a lot of warm greetings along the way. Many people wanted to come over and take photos with the two of them, while the media reporters followed them like tails and refused to leave for a while. .

"It feels very painful for you to do this." Fan Wubing held a glass of red wine and held Shen Ying's waist as he walked, and said to the reporters beside him with some annoyance, "Thank you, please. Can we make a little private space? Besides, there are so many snacks, fruits, and seafood on the table next to it. Wouldn't you feel very sorry if you didn't eat a little bit?"

"It's regrettable not to catch the news. The food is the same for us, and there is no problem going back to the hotel to eat instant noodles." The reporter who has been behind them cheeky and refused to leave.

But that's how it is said. They are not fools either. They will grab a bunch of food from the table next to them and fill them in their mouths.

The two people did not have any acquaintances here. The people they knew were government officials. They were communicating with New Zealanders at this time. There was nothing to do for a while, so the two of them found a corner and sat down. Down.

Fan Wubing simply ran to take a plate, picked up a lot of food inside, and brought a bottle of red wine over. The two of them sat here and started eating.

"It doesn't seem to be a good thing to do. It makes people think that we are so hungry that we are hungry." Shen Ying turned her head and asked Fan Wubing.

"What's the matter?" Fan Wuyao said to Shen Ying nonchalantly with a snack in his mouth. "In fact, Westerners are most concerned about actual needs. Their views, we don’t have to care about what they think. This is the principle of dealing with Westerners."

Although Shen Ying lived in Germany for a while to learn the art of manufacturing, and played in various European countries for a while, she was always accompanied by servants, and she didn't need to worry about other things, so it was. Not very clear. Hearing what Fan Wubing said at this time, he felt somewhat reasonable.

"What do you think is the purpose of the No. 1 Chief's visit to New Zealand this time?" Shen Ying asked Fan Wuyi, "A country such a small country with a population of only 4 million is worth a visit by a big country in person?"

Fan Wubing hesitated for a while, and then said, "Well, of course it is not likely to be a simple visit, or there are some interest entanglements hidden behind it. I guess it is probably related to international relations."

"What's the connection? Hasn't the relationship with the US eased recently?" Shen Ying asked curiously.

"Hehe. The United States is not the only country in the world that needs to deal with--" Fan Wuyao said with a smile, "Probably it has something to do with China's market economy status, and I am not quite accurate."

"Market economy status?" Shen Ying was a little puzzled, she didn't care about these things very much.

In the past decade or so, although China has made important progress in establishing a market economy system, many Western countries, including the United States and the European Union, have yet to officially recognize China as a market economy country. The adverse effects of the series have become a soft underbelly of China's foreign trade.

Market economy status has become an important factor in China's response to anti-dumping. Due to the lack of market economy status, domestic companies often lose lawsuits in response to anti-dumping.

When a Chinese company encounters anti-dumping, due to its so-called non-market economy status, during the anti-dumping investigation period, if the company cannot provide conclusive evidence that the product is produced under market economic conditions, the other party will have to measure it based on the so-called surrogate country’s production cost. The production cost of Chinese products. The cost of the surrogate country is usually higher than the cost of production in China, which leads to the conclusion that the sales price of Chinese products is lower than the cost of production, which puts Chinese companies in a losing position.

"Generally speaking, Western countries mainly assess market economy status from five aspects." Fan Wuyao said to Shen Ying, "The degree of government intervention in resource allocation and enterprise decision-making; the degree of privatization of enterprises and the old and new System transition, such as whether to abolish non-market means of trade and compensation; whether to have and enforce transparent and non-discriminatory company laws to ensure the rights of enterprises and equity owners; have laws and regulations to protect intellectual property rights and bankruptcy operations; yes A financial industry independent of the government. Obviously, under the current circumstances, it is very difficult to achieve this goal. At least I don’t think China has this condition to meet their requirements. In fact, no matter how hard we try, we want to be more It is not so easy for many Darfur countries to recognize China’s market economy status. Because they are afraid of China becoming an economic power, they are afraid of China’s economic growth, and China’s development in various fields. They are also afraid if they recognize China. The market economy status of China will have an impact on the country’s economy. Therefore, they do not recognize China’s market economy status, and they must attack China’s economy in various fields, slander China by various means, and make their people hate China. feel."

"As for this? Isn't it all the ** countries?" Shen Ying heard in disbelief.

"Of course it is like this. Even between the United States and the European Union, between the United States and Japan, and between the European Union and Japan, there are still quite a few contradictions. What's more, the relationship between these countries and China?" Fan Wuyi Said.

In fact, in the media in Darfur, few media reports on China are positive. Whether it is newspapers, magazines, or television news, this situation exists. There was even a foreign friend who asked Fan Wuyi with a photo taken ten years ago, is this what China looks like?

In recent years, with the domestic economic development, the growth of foreign trade has made many countries feel afraid, so there have been anti-dumping trade disputes.

Among these anti-dumping cases, the United States, the European Union, and Japan are the countries with the most complaints. The reason they did this is directly related to the recognition of China's market economy status. If they do not recognize China's market economy status, they will have a lot of advantages in anti-dumping cases. If China's market economy status is recognized, then their anti-dumping security will have no advantage to take advantage of, and their case will end in failure.

If they recognize China's market economy status, they will also recognize China's economic development in recent years, and the markets of these countries will be impacted by Chinese commodities. These can fully explain the fear of the Darfur country towards China, the fear of China.

These so-called Dar countries do not recognize China’s market economy status. There are two important factors. One is market economy~lightnovelpub.net~ and the other is military elements. The main reason why they do not recognize China’s market economy status is that Once China's market economy status is recognized, China will display its own military.

This reason is ridiculous, because every country has the right to display its own military, and every country has the right to defend itself. It's a bit ridiculous to be able to talk about things that are not reasons. As for the real reason, although these countries have not said it, everyone is already very clear in their hearts.

"The exchanges between countries are more hypocritical." Shen Ying said with emotion after hearing Fan Wuyao's explanation.

Fan Wubing smiled and replied, "This is normal. As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests. In the face of huge interests, everything must stand aside. Don't mention him, even if the countries with the best relations with China, what about the so-called traditional friendship, you need to know how much benefits they have to take away from China every year to be able to maintain this traditional friendship?"

In fact, as Fan Wubing said, all countries in the world are playing their own tricks, striving for their own living space. If you want to find allies, you can not meet the requirements in empty words. Now everyone is learning. When you are refined, you will never let go when you have not seen real money.
