CCTV News:In spring and March, spring blooms. On March 23rd, News Network reported the positive development trends in agriculture, consumption, energy, health, transportation, ecology and other fields. Combined with the announcement of a series of policies to promote development, China’s modernization showed a myriad of weather, and its high-quality development made steady progress, braving the wind and waves.
[Policy "combination boxing" forms a joint force to help high-quality development]
The General Administration of Customs issued 18 measures to support the high-quality development of Inner Mongolia.
Recently, the General Administration of Customs issued the "Specific Measures on Promoting the High-quality Development of Inner Mongolia and Striving to Write a New Chapter of Chinese Modernization" (hereinafter referred to as "Specific Measures"), comprehensively unblocking the logistics channels, optimizing the business environment at ports, and helping the high-quality development of the autonomous region.
The "Specific Measures" have formed 18 support measures from four aspects: supporting the construction of the open corridor in Inner Mongolia, supporting the high-quality development of the Central European trains in Inner Mongolia, supporting the construction of the opening platform in Inner Mongolia, and supporting the development of advantageous industries in Inner Mongolia.
In supporting the construction of Inner Mongolia’s open corridor, the Customs proposed to focus on supporting the innovative customs clearance mode of ports, improving the level of port opening, strengthening the joint development between ports and hinterland, and improving the port’s public health and safety guarantee capacity.
Focusing on supporting the high-quality development of China-Europe trains in Inner Mongolia, the "Specific Measures" proposed to improve the facilitation level of China-Europe trains and strengthen international cooperation between China, Mongolia and Russia.
Various platforms for opening to the outside world are an important support for boosting Inner Mongolia’s high-level opening to the outside world. The "Specific Measures" proposes to support the application for the construction of China’s pilot free trade zone, promote the development of comprehensive bonded zones and bonded supervision sites, and promote the innovative development of border trade.
In order to support the development of advantageous and characteristic industries in Inner Mongolia, the Specific Measures also proposes to support the development of key industries, expand the export of characteristic agricultural and food products, support the import of high-quality animals and plants and their products, optimize the quarantine supervision of grain entry, and improve the level of customs clearance facilitation for imported bulk resource commodities.
In the next step, Hohhot Customs and Manzhouli Customs will continue to follow up and play a greater role in China Unicom’s domestic and international dual cycle.
AEO Certification to Build a New Supervision Mechanism Based on Credit
Customs is located at the "meeting hub" of domestic and international double circulation. How can it be "managed, released and cleared quickly"? At present, the customs regards AEO system as a starting point to consolidate the basic foreign trade, and strives to build a new supervision mechanism based on credit.
AEO, the certified operator, is the core system in WCO’s Standard Framework for Global Trade Safety and Facilitation. The customs certifies the credit status, law-abiding degree and safety level of enterprises, and the enterprises that pass the certification can get preferential facilities from the customs, thus promoting global supply chain security and trade facilitation, and realizing mutual benefit and smooth trade between enterprises and enterprises.
In Chengdu, Sichuan, this AEO advanced certification enterprise in the comprehensive bonded zone fully enjoys the double bonus of special supervision area and credit certification policy.
According to the statistics of Chengdu Customs, in the first two months of this year, the import and export of Chengdu High-tech Comprehensive Bonded Zone was 67.49 billion yuan, an increase of 22%, and its scale returned to the first place in the national comprehensive insurance zone. The total import and export value of goods trade in Sichuan reached 158.8 billion yuan, and both import and export values reached record highs in the same period, up 15% year-on-year.
In May this year, the 6th Global AEO Conference will be held in Shenzhen, China. It is estimated that more than 1,200 representatives from more than 180 countries (regions) will attend the conference. The Global AEO Conference is the highest-level global conference in the AEO field, and has been held for five times since 2012. The 6th Global AEO Conference will build a platform for co-construction and sharing, steadily expand institutional opening, promote global mutual recognition and coordination of AEO system, promote inclusive and sustainable global trade, launch China AEO brand and tell the story of China.

Anji, Zhejiang: the first ecological product value transformation of soil and water conservation in China
Recently, the first value conversion transaction of soil and water conservation ecological products in China was signed in Anji, Zhejiang.
The product of this transaction is the 6-year management right of soil and water conservation eco-tourism resources in Hekou block, an ecologically clean small watershed in Shimenkeng, Huangpu River, Anji County, with a transaction amount of 33.28 million yuan. Shimenkeng ecological clean small watershed is about 57 square kilometers. In the past, due to all-reclamation farming and villagers’ low awareness of protection, soil erosion was serious here. After more than ten years of systematic management, the soil and water conservation rate in the basin has been significantly improved, the ecological environment has been significantly improved, and various values of ecological products have been upgraded simultaneously.
Cao Liyuan, head of the Planning Department of the Department of Soil and Water Conservation of the Ministry of Water Resources, said: "The transaction amount is mainly used for consolidating and improving the achievements of soil and water conservation and generating income for the villagers, which not only reflects the government’s leadership, but also benefits the masses and enterprises, and provides a new model for the value transformation of ecological products in other parts of the country."
This transaction also formed a set of algorithms for the value transformation of ecological products of soil and water conservation at the county level, which not only solved the problem of difficulty in the value of soil and water conservation basins, but also facilitated systematic management and precise development in the basins. For example, water projects such as rafting can be developed in river basins with large gap in Shan Ye and high eco-tourism value; In areas close to the river basin and with high soil conservation value, ecological agricultural products can be developed and planted.
Cheng Ping, member of the Party Committee and chief engineer of Anji County Water Conservancy Bureau, said: "There are 13 indicators for ecological products of soil and water conservation. Different indicators have different values, such as tourism, oxygen release and carbon sequestration. These things can be counted. This time, we only traded the eco-tourism value of Shimenkeng. "
Li Rui, Party Secretary and Director of the Water Resources Department of Zhejiang Province, said: "On the road of value conversion of aquatic ecological products, we will continue to deepen the mechanism of value conversion of ecological products of soil and water conservation while piloting, summarizing, upgrading and promoting, so as to make the passage from green mountains to Jinshan Yinshan smoother."
