Stabilize the supply chain, and China contributes charcoal to the world (China's contribution to the global anti-epidemic recovery ③)
The new crown pneumonia epidemic has severely damaged the global industrial chain and supply chain.
As the world's largest manufacturing country and the world's second-largest economy, China, while strictly preventing and controlling its own epidemic situation, has vigorously promoted the resumption of work and production in an orderly manner, and will do everything it can to ensure global supply.
Since last year, China's supply chain has been resilient and has strong momentum, which has boosted global confidence.
It can be said that the "Chinese segment" of the international industrial chain and supply chain will not drop and continue to chain, bringing hope to global anti-epidemic cooperation and world economic recovery.
Resumption of work and production at full capacity
Under the epidemic, the danger of life is combined with the difficulty of livelihood.
How to take the "balance beam" of controlling the epidemic and stabilizing the economy is a must-answer question before all countries.
Focus on prevention and control with one hand and development with the other!
China maintains a clear and firm position, and its plan is pragmatic and efficient: "It is necessary to establish an economic and social operation order that is compatible with the prevention and control of the epidemic, and orderly promote the resumption of work and production, so that the flow of people, logistics, and capital can be rotated in an orderly manner, and the economic and social cycle should be unblocked." "We must insist on accelerating the full restoration of production and living order in the normalized epidemic prevention and control, and promptly solve the difficulties and problems faced by the resumption of work and production"; "Regions must strengthen the connection between upstream and downstream production and sales, and promote the coordinated resumption of work and production in all links of the industrial chain. "...
The enterprise has started, the orders have come; the agricultural materials are in place, and the summer grains are harvested; the masks are not lacking, and the epidemic prevention is relieved; the "vegetable baskets" are full, the "rice bags" are bulging, and the people's livelihood security is in place... In an orderly manner, the “six stability” and “six guarantees” have been steadily advanced, and the foundation of the domestic supply chain has been further consolidated.
GDP grew by 2.3%, breaking through 100 trillion yuan for the first time; the country’s total grain output was 669.49 million tons, an increase of 5.65 million tons; the added value of industries above designated size increased by 2.8% over the previous year; the total import and export of goods for the year exceeded 32 trillion yuan. An increase of 1.9% over the previous year; 11.86 million new jobs were created in cities and towns throughout the year, achieving 131.8% of the annual target... Take the lead in controlling the epidemic, resuming work and production, and taking the lead in realizing economic growth from negative to positive-China's global epidemic in 2020 Brilliant answer sheets were handed in during the big exam.
Panamanian economist Eddie Tabiro said that the orderly resumption of work and production in various parts of China has ensured the operation of China's domestic supply chain, promoted product exports, and played an important role in boosting confidence in the global market.
As an important engine of world economic growth, China's economy is steadily improving, activating global trade and activating the supply chain of various countries.
According to data released by the General Administration of Customs on August 7 this year, China’s imports and exports to ASEAN, the EU, the United States, and Japan were 3.12 trillion yuan, 2.96 trillion yuan, 2.62 trillion yuan, and 1.37 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.6%. 23.4%, 28.9% and 12.6%.
In the face of a shortage of medical supplies, China's industrial system is fully operational, laying a solid barrier for the global response to the impact of the epidemic.
From 6 million pieces per day to 1.2 billion pieces per day, this is the rising value of mask production in China since the outbreak.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as of mid-June, China has held more than 100 epidemic prevention and control experience exchange meetings with all parties, and has provided more than 290 billion masks, more than 3.5 billion pieces of protective clothing, and more than 4.5 billion tests to countries around the world. Reagents have helped many countries build virus testing laboratories.
So far, China has provided more than 800 million doses of vaccine to more than 100 countries, especially developing countries.
"After the epidemic has spread globally, China's integrated logistics and supply chain system has shown tenacious resilience and played a mainstay role in the global fight against the epidemic." Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of the China International Economic Exchange Center, told this newspaper that since this year, China's economy has The main indicators continue to pick up, and import and export trade is accelerating. It has repeatedly achieved good results in digital trade, service trade, green trade, cross-border e-commerce trade, and market procurement trade, which further proves to the world the stability and stability of China’s industrial supply chain. Competitiveness.
One Belt One Road Connects China and Foreign Countries

The new crown pneumonia epidemic has swept the world, and international transportation has been severely affected.
The China-Europe Express has provoked the "beam" of land transportation and has become the "passage of life" and "link of destiny" for countries to join hands in fighting the epidemic.
On June 20, the Office of the Leading Group for Promoting the “Belt and Road” construction work and the China-Europe Railway Express Coordination Mechanism held a work symposium in Beijing. At the meeting, it was announced that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, China-Europe Railway Express has shipped a total of 11.99 million pieces to Europe. , 94,000 tons of anti-epidemic materials, effectively guaranteeing the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain.
The cumulative number of China-Europe express trains has exceeded 40,000, with a total value of more than 200 billion US dollars. It has opened 73 operating routes and reached more than 160 cities in 22 European countries. It has built a mutually beneficial and win-win bridge for the countries along the route, and has driven along the route. The channel economy is developing rapidly.
"Affected by the epidemic, the cost of global shipping has risen sharply. In this context, China-Europe Express has played a huge advantage and assumed the important pivot function of stabilizing the global supply chain under the epidemic crisis." Xie Laihui, Executive Director of the Research Office of "One Road", told this newspaper that the China-Europe Railway Express not only continuously delivers anti-epidemic and anti-epidemic materials and production and daily necessities that are in short supply by the international community to European countries, but also ships a large number of high-quality foreign products to China.
Through the construction of the “Belt and Road”, China has maintained unimpeded trade and transportation channels, promoted the resumption of work and production and the rapid economic restart of countries along the route, providing important support for the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain.
A few days ago, the "China's "One Belt One Road" Trade and Investment Development Report 2021" compiled by the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce was released in Beijing.

Among them, exports increased by 25.3%; imports increased by 25.7%.
"The epidemic has caused a huge impact on the developing countries along the'Belt and Road'. China has actively used the'Belt and Road' cooperation mechanism to deliver important medical equipment, protective equipment and vaccine assistance to countries along the route, and comprehensively deepen the demand, supply, innovation, and innovation of the countries along the route. Cooperation in services and finance has played an important role in stabilizing the economy and protecting people’s livelihood in various countries, and has also made important contributions to promoting global economic recovery." Zhang Yansheng said that according to the current domestic and international situations, China has proposed meeting domestic demand as a development focus. Promote the construction of a new development pattern in which the domestic big cycle is the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promote each other.
Among them, the expansion of domestic demand is the strategic base of the domestic cycle, which will inevitably lead to an increase in import trade, spur orders and investment in countries along the “Belt and Road”, and inject strong impetus into the high-quality construction of the “Belt and Road”.

The sea breeze is blowing and the crowd is surging.
On May 6 this year, the first China International Consumer Goods Fair was held in Haikou City, Hainan Province. More than 1,500 companies from about 70 countries and regions participated in the exhibition.
