It is reported that this is the largest batch of car exports per voyage since the Jiangyin Port Area of Fuzhou Port first launched its foreign trade roll on/roll off car export business in 2023. At the same time, it is also the largest batch of car exports per voyage in Fujian Province. As of now, Jiangyin Port has accumulated 31735 roll on/roll off export vehicles.

Emerging markets expand new space for China's foreign trade growth

In the first two months of 2024, the scale of China's import and export of goods reached a new historical high, demonstrating a positive trend of strong resilience, great potential, and full vitality in China's foreign trade.

In the first two months, China's exports reached 3.75 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%. As a barometer for observing foreign trade, the activity of several key ports in China has significantly increased. The container throughput of Ningbo Zhoushan Port increased by more than 15% year-on-year, while the container throughput of Shenzhen Port increased by as much as 23.5% year-on-year. As a major hub for foreign trade exports, Quanzhou in Fujian Province has experienced strong growth in foreign trade in the first two months of 2024.

Emerging markets have further expanded new space for foreign trade growth. In the first two months of 2024, ASEAN was China's largest trading partner, with China's imports and exports to ASEAN increasing by 8.1%, accounting for 15% of the total foreign trade value. China's import and export to countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" increased by 9% year on year; The import and export of the five Central Asian countries increased by 26% year-on-year.

At the Chanba International Port in Xi'an, Shaanxi, early in the morning, the China Europe freight train loaded with Chinese products departed from here and will arrive in Uzbekistan in 9 days.

From the perspective of export product structure, both mechanical and electrical products and labor-intensive products have increased their driving force on China's exports. In January and February 2024, the export of mechanical and electrical products such as automobiles, household appliances, and ships increased by 11.8%, accounting for nearly 60% of the total export value. The export of labor-intensive products increased by 22.2% year-on-year, accounting for 17.8%. At the same time, China's new forms and models of foreign trade have strong momentum. In the first two months of 2024, cross-border e-commerce and market procurement exports both achieved double-digit growth.

New digital logistics helps domestic tractors' go global '

In the first two months of 2024, China Yituo Group's international business actual sales increased by 41% year-on-year, and were exported to more than 10 countries. With the departure of Chinese tractors, new digital logistics innovation has become a problem that enterprises are striving to solve.

The continuous increase in export volume has given rise to a new type of digital logistics, where vehicles and goods can be located at any time. Intelligence and digitization have solved the problem of shipping. Innovation is also reflected in the details. This "big head" tractor is the main product to be shipped overseas during the 2024 spring plowing season, and it is difficult to transport it into standard containers by railway. The car body is 12 meters long and exceeds the limit, and the tires are large and heavy, weighing three to four hundred pounds. With the help of technological innovation and digital modeling, Yituo Logistics first disassembles in stages, and then carries out secondary packaging after meeting the transportation standards. The entire process of disassembly and assembly is supported by big data precision.

Understanding the product features, pricing strategies, marketing strategies, etc. of competitors can help us find our own product advantages and market positioning. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to market feedback and consumer evaluations of competitors, in order to discover potential market demands and improvement directions.

Second stop, inquiry and negotiation

In this stage, finding potential customers is just the beginning, and sending a detailed and professional quotation is particularly crucial. When making a quotation, product details should be clear and concise, including product name, specifications, performance, etc; The unit price should be accurate and avoid any ambiguity; MOQTY (minimum order quantity) should be clearly marked to help customers understand the ordering threshold; The delivery time should be reasonably estimated and some room should be reserved to cope with possible unexpected situations; The payment method should be explained in detail to ensure the protection of the rights and interests of both parties.

Of course, the quotation is not fixed and needs to be flexibly adjusted based on customer feedback and market changes. Negotiation is not only an art, but also a science. We need to develop a reasonable negotiation strategy based on the customer's needs and expectations, combined with the actual situation of the company. In this process, integrity, patience, and professionalism are the key to building trust and winning customers.

Third stop, contract phase

In the contract, terms such as price, quantity, quality, transportation, delivery time, payment, and breach of contract liability must be clearly and unambiguously stated. These terms not only reflect the details of the transaction, but also reflect the willingness and sincerity of both parties to cooperate. By clarifying these terms, we can avoid potential misunderstandings and disputes in the future and ensure smooth cooperation.

Consulting with a lawyer is an essential step before signing a contract. As professional legal professionals, lawyers can provide us with compliance advice to ensure that the contract content meets the requirements of laws and regulations. Under the protection of the law, our cooperation can be more stable and avoid unnecessary losses to both parties due to legal issues. At the same time, lawyers can also help us identify potential risks and propose corresponding countermeasures. In the process of contract signing and performance, we may encounter various storms and challenges, but with the help of lawyers, we can better avoid risks and ensure the smooth progress of cooperation.

Fourth stop, production and inspection

In this stage, we must strictly implement quality control, from supervision of the production process to comprehensive inspection of the finished product, to ensure that every step meets the buyer's expectations and contract requirements, thereby effectively avoiding any possible quality disputes.

Before starting product production, we first need to have in-depth communication with suppliers to jointly develop a detailed inspection plan. This plan not only needs to clearly define the time nodes for inspection, but also needs to list in detail the standards, methods, number of samples, and specific inspection items for inspection. During the inspection process, we can use various modern testing methods and technologies to comprehensively test the appearance, performance, safety, and other aspects of the product. At the same time, don't forget to pay attention to the details of the product and strive to meet the buyer's requirements in every detail.

Fifth stop, documents and customs declaration

At this stage, we need to carefully prepare a series of necessary documents to ensure that the goods can pass through customs smoothly and compliantly, and arrive safely at the destination.

Firstly, commercial invoices are an indispensable part. It provides a detailed list of key information such as the name, quantity, unit price, and total price of the goods, which is not only the basis for settlement between the buyer and seller, but also an important document for customs to determine tariffs.

The packing list is a detailed description of the packaging of the goods. It records the size, weight, contents, and other information of each packaging box, which helps customs officers quickly understand the overall situation of the goods. At the same time, the packing list is also an important basis for the connection of various links in the logistics process, which is crucial for ensuring the safe transportation of goods.

A certificate of origin is an official document that proves the origin of goods. In international trade, many countries have strict regulations on the origin of imported goods, and the certificate of origin is an important proof that the goods comply with these regulations. Therefore, when preparing the certificate of origin, we must strictly follow the regulations of the destination country to ensure smooth customs clearance of the goods. Finally, the customs declaration form is a necessary document for declaring goods to the customs. It records in detail the name, specifications, quantity, value and other information of the goods, and is an important basis for customs to determine tariffs and supervise goods. When filling out the customs declaration form, we must comply with the regulations and requirements of the customs to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information. In the process of preparing these documents, we also need to understand the relevant regulations and requirements of the destination country in advance in order to make targeted preparations.

Sixth stop, transportation

At this stage, we need to carefully choose diversified transportation methods such as sea freight, air freight, land freight, or express delivery based on the characteristics, destination, and delivery requirements of the goods.

Although sea transportation has a longer voyage, the freight cost is relatively low, making it suitable for transporting bulk goods. To ensure the safe arrival of goods, we need to work closely with professional freight forwarding companies, carefully book shipping spaces, and ensure the proper placement of goods on board. Air freight is suitable for transporting goods with small volume, high value, or urgent needs. During the air transportation process, we need to closely monitor the flight status to ensure that the goods can take off on time and arrive safely at the destination. Whether it is truck, train or container transportation, goods can be safely delivered. During the land transportation process, we need to strictly control the transportation time to ensure that the goods are delivered to the customers within the agreed time. Express delivery services are suitable for transporting small items and can deliver goods to customers in a short period of time. When choosing a courier service, we need to pay attention to its service quality and timeliness guarantee, ensuring that the goods can arrive at the destination safely and quickly.

Seventh stop: Tracking, communication, and synchronization with customers

Providing tracking information is the core task of this website. It can not only keep customers informed of the latest progress of the project, but also enhance their trust in the supplier. In modern business activities, transparency of information has become one of the important standards for measuring service quality. Therefore, we can use advanced technological means to update tracking information in real time, allowing customers to keep up with the latest developments of the project at any time.

Eighth stop: Foreign exchange settlement and after-sales service

We not only complete the settlement of funds, but also actively respond to the in-depth resolution and feedback of customer issues.

In the process of foreign exchange settlement and after-sales service, we must not forget the importance of compliance. International certifications such as CE and FCC allow our products to enter the international market in compliance. At the same time, we must pay attention to risk management, especially in the face of exchange rate fluctuations and market changes. We need to use financial instruments to avoid risks and ensure the stable development of enterprises.

In addition, political risks are also an aspect that we cannot ignore. On the stage of international trade, political dynamics often have a ripple effect. We need to closely monitor the international political situation and adjust our trade strategy in a timely manner to cope with potential risks.

For beginners, collaboration with professional teams and consultants is indispensable. Their experience and wisdom can help us better cope with various challenges and difficulties. At the same time, we can also use modern technological means such as B2B platforms and independent websites to make the process of foreign exchange settlement and after-sales more smooth and efficient.

After reading these detailed materials and guidance, even if you are a novice in this field, there is no need to worry. And next, what you need to do is to translate these theoretical knowledge into practical operations.

Chen Qian, a clothing industry trader based in Yiwu with nearly 20 years of experience, has never experienced such an uncertain first half of the year. In the first five months, the company's export volume decreased by at least 50% year-on-year. Due to these uncertain factors, some overseas company customers choose to tear up the contract at the cost of losing the deposit even if they have already paid the deposit and the goods have been produced.

In the past, when conflicts or exchange rate fluctuations occurred in a certain region in the short term, Chen Qian and her peers would actively adjust the market focus. But this year, her feeling is that the political conflicts in the Middle East, the drastic fluctuations in exchange rates in many African countries, the turmoil in many South American countries, and the rapid rise in shipping costs, combined with other factors, have led to a comprehensive tightening of product demand for enterprises.

In the past month, the OECD, IMF, and WTO have all listed geopolitical tensions, regional conflicts, and economic uncertainty as the main risks facing global trade when predicting global trade, and warned that governments should focus on national security, self-reliance, and support for domestic businesses.

Traditional traders targeting the European and American markets are also lamenting that the "golden age" of foreign trade has passed. In the first half of this year, Luo Xiaohua, the president of Guangdong Meijie Group, which is engaged in the export of high-end bathroom products, traveled around the European, American, and Australian markets. A small number of customers gave him feedback that "if the demand can remain the same as last year, it is very good", while most have lowered their expected demand for this year.

Some export-oriented industrial cities have sent signals - in the first quarter of this year, Foshan's exports decreased by 40.4% year-on-year, with exports from the four major industries of furniture and its parts, ceramic products, clothing and lighting fixtures, and lighting fixtures and their parts all declining by more than 50% year-on-year; In the first four months, Dongguan's exports decreased by 3.7% year-on-year, with a single month export decline of 8.9% in April.

Many uncertainties in emerging markets

From October last year until now, in just six months, Chen Qian has experienced market fluctuations from "explosive orders" to a rapid decline in demand.

In recent months, Chen Qian and her colleagues have frequently encountered situations where customers choose to break contracts due to skyrocketing shipping costs, extended transportation cycles, or sudden changes in the local market, even after paying a deposit and completing the production of goods. The customer lost the deposit, while the trader had to face the dilemma of hoarding goods. Currently, Chen Qian's factory has stockpiled goods worth several million yuan.

With the repeated occurrence of similar incidents, including Chen Qian, they have to face a situation where "overseas customers dare not place orders easily, and foreign traders dare not accept orders easily". She said that the order volume in the first two months of this year was barely flat compared to last year, but the order volume declined significantly from March to May. The upstream manufacturing factories located in Foshan also reported that the production capacity situation in recent months is not optimistic.

Due to 40% of the company's products relying on exports, Wang Tingting, the foreign trade manager of Guangxi Xinguilun Rubber Co., Ltd., also lamented that she "cannot understand this year's market trend" - on the one hand, many overseas emerging market customers have reported to her that local demand is sluggish and consumers have no money, so the market has not achieved the expected recovery; On the other hand, uncertain events such as rising sea freight rates, tire products facing anti-dumping and anti subsidy investigations in multiple countries, and rapid fluctuations in exchange rates in some regions have also occurred intensively within the past six months.

She said, "In the past, we could roughly predict the market trend in the next six months when doing foreign trade, but now various situations may arise in a short period of time, which is difficult to predict. Now it's not the company actively choosing export markets, but we have to look at which markets can still be exported

Export competition is also intensifying. In the process of exporting high-end tire products, Wang Tingting's company has encountered continuous price pressure from some domestic manufacturers this year, ultimately leading to a spiral decline in the prices of exported tire products domestically. In order to cope with this situation, enterprises can only make more use of Guangxi's geographical advantage and further expand into the Southeast Asian market.

Even if demand shrinks, "internal competition" intensifies, and shipping costs rise, the operation and export of foreign trade companies' production capacity cannot be easily stopped.

Wang Tingting said, "The market situation is not good in the short term, so it is reasonable to slow down the production pace. However, factories have to pay rent, and they cannot easily give workers holidays. In addition, the pressure of raw material inventory is forcing companies to ensure a certain level of production and sales

In addition, the rising cost of tire raw materials has also brought new problems to tire manufacturing enterprises since the beginning of this year. Wang Tingting said that in the process of rising costs, it is difficult for enterprises to cope through productivity growth or technological breakthroughs, so they can only "take one step at a time" and try to maintain friendly relationships with old customers.

European and American customers are deeply affected by inflation

During his visits to the European, American, and Australian markets in the first half of the year, Luo Xiaohua's most intuitive feeling was that ordinary consumers were affected by inflation, resulting in a significant decline in purchasing power, which led to a much smaller market "cake" compared to last year. In order not to lose their original market share, suppliers are severely "involuted" in terms of price.

Before 2019, Luo Xiaohua chose to abandon the mid to low end and pursue a high-end development path, investing nearly 300 million yuan to establish a new bathroom product research and development production project. At the same time, he also purchased an electroplating factory to improve the manufacturing level of bathroom products. Currently, the company's products have achieved complete independent processing.

He said, "In recent years, many bathroom product manufacturing companies in Foshan and Dongguan have chosen to take the high-end route, mainly to stabilize order volume and cater to the high-quality demand of European and American customers. In contrast, the order demand in Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets is relatively less high-quality

From 2022 to 2023, Luo Xiaohua's company won new orders from several large home decoration and building materials supermarkets in Europe and America with the addition of production capacity, and the factory has been operating at full capacity almost all the time.

But the order volume has also started to decline this year. During the visit, Luo Xiaohua learned that due to sustained inflation, the middle class in Europe and America have seen a significant increase in various costs for buying, renting, and renovating houses, resulting in tight budgets and a decline in demand for high-end bathroom products.

Luo Xiaohua said: "At present, the demand for high-end sanitary products will gradually rise only when inflation has dropped to a certain extent, but we can't see when such a turning point will come. These factors are not determined by our traders, and we can only wait for the restart of market demand."

Luo Xiaohua misses the "golden age" of foreign trade enterprises five or six years ago. He said that before 2019, there would never have been so many uncertain events. At that time, peers were full of expectations for foreign trade, and companies dared to invest in expanding production if they had expectations. Overseas orders also basically did not need to worry.

Despite the current uncertainty, Chen Qian still hasn't 'laid flat'. She said, "Although colleagues are lamenting that the 'golden age' of traditional product trade has passed, foreign traders are still actively seizing all potential opportunities. When there are no orders, they are busy developing new ones, and when there are orders, they are busy completing them. This is the fate of foreign traders and they can never stop.

This forum consists of an opening ceremony and five high-end sub forums, attracting government officials, diplomatic envoys, representatives of international organizations, business leaders, and renowned scholars from nearly 50 countries and regions to attend. The forum has an unprecedented scale, attracting representatives from nearly 90 think tanks around the world. Guests came from more than 50 countries, including the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Italy, Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, South Korea and other countries. The forum covers core topics such as global governance, the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, China US relations and tariff frictions, China Europe relations, new drivers of globalization, and the rise of the global South. The attendees discussed and shared their insights on the future of multilateralism, the restructuring of the global trade order, artificial intelligence and green transformation, geopolitical risks, and the role of the global South in the new order. This think tank summit provides an important platform for promoting cross-border dialogue, building consensus, and exploring cooperation.

At the opening ceremony of the forum, Miao Lv, co-founder and Secretary General of CCG, served as the moderator and warmly welcomed the guests present, introducing in detail the five core themes of the forum. She expressed in her speech that she eagerly looks forward to all the guests sharing their insights, injecting new wisdom and strength into this year's conference, and jointly promoting exchanges and development in related fields.

In his opening speech, Wang Huiyao, founder and chairman of CCG and former counselor of the State Council, stated that the world is entering a new era of profound changes, and multiple factors such as geopolitical tensions, technological changes, and climate crises are accelerating the adjustment of the global governance system. At the important milestone of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the international community needs to rethink more than ever how to build a more equitable, inclusive, and efficient governance system. He emphasized that the stability of China US relations is of great significance to the international community, and China EU relations have also ushered in a new window of opportunity, with broad consensus on jointly upholding multilateralism and free trade. At the same time, the rise of countries in the global South is reshaping the international landscape. China is willing to deepen cooperation with emerging economies in areas such as trade, technology, and climate action, and promote more balanced and inclusive global governance. Finally, he introduced that in the past year, CCG has significantly strengthened its role in people to people diplomacy. It has not only visited 22 countries for people to people diplomacy and academic exchanges, but also held multiple high-end dialogue activities and released multiple policy research reports, continuously contributing the wisdom and strength of think tanks to promote global cooperation. We look forward to the Think Tank Innovation Summit gathering valuable insights from all parties and providing more constructive solutions for the common future of China and the world.

Chen Jian, former Vice Minister of Commerce and specially appointed expert of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference's talent pool for political participation and deliberation, pointed out in his speech that the world is currently in a critical period of accelerated evolution over the past century. Uncertainties such as geopolitical conflicts, rising protectionism, and supply chain reshaping continue to accumulate, leading to multiple deficits and severe challenges for the global governance system. No country can solve global problems on its own, and multilateralism remains the correct choice to address common challenges. China has long firmly supported multilateral cooperation. From promoting high-quality development of the "the Belt and Road", actively participating in the global climate governance agenda, to advocating the maintenance of the international system with the United Nations at its core, all these demonstrate China's continued commitment to openness, inclusiveness and cooperation. He emphasized that innovative thinking and pragmatic actions are urgently needed for future global governance. Broad consensus should be reached while respecting the differences among countries, especially emphasizing the demands and voices of countries in the global South, promoting the implementation and effectiveness of sustainable development goals, and establishing a more comprehensive international institutional system in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, outer space, and digital governance. Finally, he pointed out that think tanks play an irreplaceable role in the century long changes and should exert greater power in forward-looking research, cross-border communication, and policy transformation. CCG has been building a dialogue platform between China, the United States, and Europe for many years, making important contributions to promoting understanding and cooperation.

In his speech, Jin Xu, President of the China International Trade Association of the Ministry of Commerce and former Deputy Director of the US Department of Commerce, pointed out that the world is currently in an era of high uncertainty and multiple crises, with weak economic recovery, continuous geopolitical conflicts, widening digital divide, unilateralism and protectionism continuing to rise, seriously weakening the foundation of global cooperation and exacerbating the deficit of trust and peace. In this context, adhering to the international system with the United Nations at its core and reaffirming the value of multilateralism is the only correct path for the international community to address challenges. China has always promoted the reform of global governance in a constructive way. Through the global governance initiative, the "the Belt and Road" cooperation and the promotion of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, China has contributed practical solutions to improving the international order. The reform of the multilateral system does not mean starting from scratch, but rather improving efficiency, enhancing inclusiveness, and better responding to the concerns of developing countries. He pointed out that think tanks play an irreplaceable role in this process, and should strengthen forward-looking research, propose policy recommendations based on facts and science, build cross-cultural and cross disciplinary dialogue platforms, enhance mutual trust, consolidate consensus, and provide intellectual support for implementing modern global governance rules. He emphasized in the end that no country can tackle global challenges alone. Only by adhering to multilateralism, deepening cooperation, and gathering the wisdom of governments, businesses, and think tanks can global governance move towards a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable future.

At the same time, it is widely emphasized that the United Nations should continue to play a core role in areas such as peace, security, development, and human rights. Countries need to deepen cooperation within the framework of international law and multilateral mechanisms to jointly promote the construction of a more inclusive and effective global governance system.

Anej Bevk Peternelj, representative of the International Youth Leadership Dialogue (GYLD) from Slovenia and head of the Gajst Institute, a partner of the Brad Strategic Forum, raised questions and shared views with the roundtable guests on topics such as "resolving global trust deficits, youth empowerment and future governance, and risk management in decision-making in the AI era".

In the first 11 months, the export value of integrated circuits in Shandong increased by 24.1% year-on-year, and automobile exports achieved an increase of 18.2%, indicating that Shandong's foreign trade is actively integrating into the national foreign trade reform in a new track

The foreign trade data recently released by the General Administration of Customs shows that in the first 11 months of this year, China's trade surplus exceeded the $1 trillion mark for the first time. Against the backdrop of increasingly complex international trade, China's foreign trade has shown full resilience and vitality.

From the perspective of Shandong, in the first 11 months of this year, the import and export of Shandong reached 3.19 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. Among them, exports reached 1.95 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.3%, accounting for nearly 8% of the country's foreign trade exports and contributing important strength to China's foreign trade reaching a new high.

Rising and falling, the structure of foreign trade undergoes a profound transformation

The Global Trade Update report released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development on December 9th shows that despite factors such as geopolitical tensions, rising trade costs, and global demand imbalances, global trade is still expected to exceed $35 trillion for the first time in 2025. Among them, manufacturing trade is expected to grow by 10%, which will provide important momentum for global goods trade.

From a national perspective, in the first 11 months of this year, manufacturing exports represented by mechanical and electrical products reached 1.489 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.8%, accounting for 60.9% of the country's total export value, which is an important force for China to achieve a significant leap in trade surplus.

As a major manufacturing and foreign trade province, Shandong is one of the provinces with the most complete industrial categories and system in China. According to the information released by Qingdao Customs and Jinan Customs, in the first 11 months of this year, Shandong's exports of mechanical and electrical products reached 952.22 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.9%, outperforming the national growth rate. However, during the same period, the exports of labor-intensive products reached 335.43 billion yuan, a decrease of 3.2%.

More worth analyzing is that in the first 11 months, Shandong's textile and clothing exports reached 194.28 billion yuan, an increase of 3.2%, in labor-intensive product exports; Plastic products amounted to 54.53 billion yuan, a decrease of 2.3%. During the same period, the export value of textile machinery, ships, and agricultural machinery in Shandong increased significantly by 81.5%, 49.3%, and 39.1%, respectively. The changes in the two sets of data, one rising and one falling, intuitively reflect that Shandong's foreign trade is undergoing a deep structural transformation in the field of manufacturing exports.

Gu Chuntai, a researcher at Shandong Academy of Social Sciences, believes that with the development of China's economy, the country's foreign trade, including Shandong, is accelerating its transformation from traditional low value exports such as resource-based and labor-intensive exports to high-tech and innovative high value-added exports. He suggested that with the expansion of China's trade surplus, international trade frictions will continue to intensify. Shandong should focus on developing new quality productive forces, smoothly integrating into regional trade cycles such as Northeast Asia and ASEAN, and guiding more enterprises to shift from "inward competition" to "outward expansion".

The export performance of chip cars is impressive, and efforts are still needed for innovation and upgrading

With the transformation of the new generation of industries and the vigorous development of China's automotive industry, high-tech manufacturing industries such as integrated circuits and automobiles are becoming new "labels" for China's foreign trade. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, the export of integrated circuits in China reached 1.29 trillion yuan in the first 11 months of this year, a year-on-year increase of 25.6%; Automobile exports reached 896.91 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.6%.

Zhang Monan, a researcher at the China International Economic Exchange Center, stated that China's trade and industrial structures are constantly being optimized, moving towards the high-end of the industrial chain. In the trade structure, industrial manufactured goods, including integrated circuits, mechanical products, and automobiles, are the most important pillars and engines of overall trade growth.

From the perspective of Shandong, in the first 11 months, the export value of integrated circuits in the province increased by 24.1% year-on-year, and automobile exports achieved an increase of 18.2%, which is higher than the national average level. This indicates that Shandong's foreign trade is actively integrating into the national foreign trade reform in the new track.

It is worth noting that the report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development points out that globally, it is expected that the world automotive industry trade will decline by 4% by 2025, which is actually due to weak demand, but only because the growth of hybrid vehicle trade partially offsets the downward pressure on the global automotive industry.

Data shows that since the beginning of this year, the growth of the global automotive industry has almost entirely come from hybrid vehicles, with sales increasing by 22%, while global trade in gasoline vehicles has decreased by 13% and global trade in electric vehicles has decreased by 5%.

At the same time, whether it is the export of integrated circuits or automobiles, there is still a significant gap between Shandong and other strong foreign trade provinces. Taking Guangdong as an example, in the first 11 months of this year, Guangdong's exports of mechanical and electrical products reached 3.77 trillion yuan, accounting for 68.5% of Guangdong's total export value. At the same time, the export growth of multiple commodities in Guangdong is strong, with green and intelligent products such as drones, "New Three Samples", and 3D printers increasing by 43.4%, 31.4%, and 28.5% year-on-year, respectively.

Dealing with trade protectionism and promoting trade diversification

Against the backdrop of global trade protectionism and trade frictions, Shandong actively adjusts its trade structure, carries out the "Ten Thousand Enterprises Going Global to Shandong Trade" campaign, promotes trade diversification, and makes emerging markets such as southern countries an important source and key engine of foreign trade growth.

Data shows that in the first 11 months of this year, Shandong's imports and exports to Africa reached 270.56 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 39.8%. Among them, exports amounted to 173.9 billion yuan, an increase of 33.5%; Imports amounted to 96.66 billion yuan, an increase of 52.7%. Imports and exports to Latin America amounted to 371.83 billion yuan, an increase of 15.2%. Among them, exports amounted to 170.72 billion yuan, an increase of 5.8%; Imports amounted to 201.11 billion yuan, an increase of 24.7%. The growth rate exceeds the provincial average.

It is worth mentioning that the current market demand in southern countries is in line with the deep transformation trend of Shandong's foreign trade structure. Taking Africa as an example, in the first 11 months, the province's exports of mechanical and electrical products to Africa increased by 41.3% year-on-year, accounting for 54.6% of the total export value to Africa. Among them, automobile exports increased by 56.2%, significantly higher than the provincial average.

Qingdao Zhonghong Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. is a manufacturing enterprise focusing on the production of engineering vehicles. Lv Minghui, the manager of the company's Ministry of Commerce, said that with the comprehensive and in-depth promotion of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, the demand for mining trucks in Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries has increased. According to data from Dagang Customs, in the first 11 months of this year, the company exported mining trucks worth over 21 million yuan to Central Asia, and production orders from Central Asia are still increasing.

Ding Mao, Director of the Statistical Analysis Department of Qingdao Customs, stated that in the first 11 months of this year, the import and export of Shandong Province maintained steady growth, and the advantage of importing bulk commodities continued to consolidate. The export of high value-added products such as electronic chips, electric vehicles, and ships grew rapidly, and the number of enterprises with import and export performance increased by 8.8% year-on-year. Overall, Shandong's foreign trade has shown the characteristics of good foundation, strong resilience, and abundant vitality. The basic market is constantly consolidating, and new highlights are also emerging. The scale of foreign trade for the whole year is expected to reach a new level.

Faced with the pressure brought by tariffs, African countries have not been completely passive in bearing it, but have demonstrated their ability to adapt and adjust. The solid foundation of trade between China and Africa, the accelerated construction of the African Continental Free Trade Area, the sustained cooperation with traditional partners such as Europe, and the active filling of emerging markets such as India and Gulf countries, together constitute a diversified defense line for Africa to cope with external challenges. Africa is maintaining its position in global trade through measures such as strengthening regional integration and expanding diversified markets.

Diversified market structure alleviates external shocks

International observers believe that the latest tariffs have significantly changed the framework of non US trade cooperation, shifting from a preferential mechanism based on development cooperation to so-called "reciprocal trade" and punitive tariffs. Nevertheless, the overall impact of tariffs on Africa remains controllable.

The key reason is that the proportion of the United States in the African trading system has continued to decline in recent years. The Africa Trade Report 2025 released by the African Export Import Bank shows that from 2010 to 2023, North America's share of Africa's imports will decrease from 7% to 5%, and its share of exports will sharply decline from 17% to 7%. Currently, Asia, Europe, intra African regions, and the Middle East account for over 90% of Africa's total imports and exports. The latest data from the International Trade Center shows that Africa's trade with the United States in 2024 is approximately $67.4 billion, accounting for only 5% of Africa's total foreign trade.

At the same time, the highly complementary economies of China and Africa, coupled with sustained growth in bilateral trade, have become important stabilizing factors in Africa's trade structure. In 2024, the trade volume between China and Africa reached a record high of 295.6 billion US dollars for four consecutive years, and China maintained its position as Africa's largest trading partner for 16 consecutive years.

In addition, China recently announced the implementation of zero tariffs on 100% tariff items for 53 African countries with diplomatic relations, which has been praised by African economists as a "timely rain". This policy not only effectively reduces the export cost of African goods, but also sends a positive signal to Africa: China is willing to share development opportunities with Africa and work together to resist external risks.

Cameroonian economist Enfumi Ouren Taway believes that at a time when US trade policies are causing global chaos, China's aforementioned measures bring significant opportunities to Africa. In the process of promoting diversified cooperation partners in Africa, the focus should further shift to Asia, especially China.

African Continental Free Trade Area: Strengthening Regional Integration

The African Continental Free Trade Area is becoming an important buffer against external market fluctuations. According to a report by the African Export Import Bank, Africa's commodity trade volume rebounded by 13.9% in 2024, reaching $1.5 trillion, significantly reversing the 5.4% decline in 2023; Intra African trade grew by 12.4%, reaching a total of 220.3 billion US dollars. With the deepening of the construction of free trade zones on the African continent, this strong recovery momentum is expected to continue.

Key progress has also been made in the construction of mechanisms. According to the Kenyan media East African Daily, as of February this year, 48 African countries have ratified the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, of which 19 countries have conducted trade in accordance with its mechanisms and protocols, laying the foundation for the integration of the African continent.

The African Continental Free Trade Zone has played a role as a shock absorber for the African economy. Under the strong impact of US tariffs, African countries have effectively reduced their dependence on a single external market by vigorously strengthening internal trade. At the same time, by actively promoting measures such as standard coordination and tariff reduction, a controllable and favorable environment has been created for Africa to enhance its industrial capacity and added value.

The synergy between infrastructure and policies is unleashing new potential. African countries have effectively reduced the cost of intra regional trade by vigorously improving infrastructure such as transportation, energy, and communication. At the same time, governments around the world are actively coordinating trade policies, simplifying customs clearance procedures, and creating favorable conditions for the smooth implementation of free trade zones on the African continent. These measures will further unleash the potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area and effectively promote the process of economic integration in Africa.

Traditional and emerging partners jointly explore cooperation space

Faced with the pressure of US tariffs, Europe, as a traditional partner of Africa, continues to play a stabilizing role. According to data from the International Trade Center, in 2024, Europe Africa trade accounted for 34.3% of Africa's foreign trade. Both parties also enhance supply chain stickiness through standard coordination and quality improvement.

India and Gulf countries are also important targets for expanding trade in Africa. According to data from the African Strategic Research Center, India Africa trade has continued to grow since 2003, reaching approximately $103 billion by 2023, making India an important trading partner for Africa.

Meanwhile, non energy trade between Gulf countries and Africa is also growing. A report from the Middle East Observer Research Foundation shows that in 2022, non energy trade between African countries and the United Arab Emirates has reached $60 billion.

Africa is proving through its actions that it has the ability to strive for a more advantageous position in the new global trade order through integration and diversified cooperation. In the future, Africa will continue to achieve win-win coexistence with the world through an open attitude, and write a breakthrough and rebirth in trade.

In the global market, the number of IPOs is basically the same as last year, but the fundraising amount has increased compared to last year. Chinese companies hold five positions in the top ten global IPOs, with an increase in the number compared to 2024. Their industries are distributed in the automotive, mining, energy, and advanced manufacturing sectors.

The A-share market has seen an increase in the quantity of "science" and a simultaneous improvement in the quality of institutional optimization

In 2025, the A-share IPO market will achieve moderate growth under the background of stable regulation and optimal structure, and the fundraising scale will significantly increase compared to last year. The average fundraising amount of IPOs increased by over 50% year-on-year, rising to 1 billion yuan. At the same time, thanks to the drive of super large IPOs, the proportion of billion yuan IPO fundraising has significantly increased.

In addition, driven by policies such as the "827" new regulations and the new "National Nine Measures", the price to earnings ratio of new stock issuances has continued to decline in the past two years, gradually returning to rationality and reaching a nearly five-year low this year. On the first day of listing, there was no breakthrough, and the average return rate reached 253%, ranking first in the past five years and unchanged from 2024.

From the perspective of industry structure, the industrial, technology, and materials industries rank among the top three in terms of IPO numbers; The energy industry has risen to the top three in terms of financing scale this year.

The report shows that technological innovation has become a significant core feature of this year's declared enterprises. Regarding this, Yang Shujuan, Managing Partner of Ernst&Young Beijing, stated: "Over the past five years, the A-share IPO market has undergone a transformation from 'scale expansion' to 'quality priority'. After experiencing a high level of operation in 2021, the market has achieved structural optimization through phased adjustments, indicating that it has entered a more mature stage of development. This year, the number of new IPOs and financing scale of A-shares have both increased year-on-year, but their core has shifted from being driven by quantity in the past to a new paradigm of high-quality development guided by technological innovation and supported by institutional inclusiveness. ”

Hong Kong stock market experiences strong recovery, with mainland enterprises dominating the IPO market in Hong Kong

In 2025, the Hong Kong IPO market will experience a strong recovery, with IPO fundraising exceeding HKD 200 billion after four years, returning to the second peak in nearly five years. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has surpassed the New York, Indian, Mumbai, and Nasdaq stock exchanges in terms of financing scale, ranking first in the world. The listing of large-scale IPO projects has become a key factor driving the rise of Hong Kong stocks, with outstanding contributions from A+H and A-share split H enterprises from mainland China. It is expected that more than 20 A-share companies will be listed in Hong Kong for the whole year, raising a total of over HKD 170 billion.

Meanwhile, the intensive release of large-scale IPOs has boosted the average financing scale by 137% compared to last year, reaching the second highest level in nearly five years. Among the top ten IPO fundraising amounts, the industrial and retail consumer industries dominate, mainly in popular tracks such as new energy vehicles and batteries, advanced manufacturing, etc.

Currently, the capital markets of mainland China and Hong Kong have entered a stage of complementary development, with the two markets working together to serve the overall national strategy. In the first half of the year, international capital continued to pour into the Hong Kong market, accelerating the inflow of southbound funds and driving the structure of Hong Kong stock investors from 'foreign led' to 'dual wheel drive of domestic and foreign capital'. Although facing periodic fluctuations, the overall trend of Hong Kong stocks is showing an upward trend, and scale growth and structural upgrading have been achieved under the multiple effects of leading enterprises, market policies, and external environment

In terms of industry structure, new consumption and hard technology have become the "dual engines" driving Hong Kong stock listing activities. The implementation of policies such as the "Science and Technology Enterprise Special Line" has provided a fast listing channel for more high potential technology companies. Li Kang, Co Managing Partner of TMT Industry at Ernst&Young Greater China, said: "Currently, many reform measures in the Hong Kong stock market have demonstrated institutional flexibility and innovative inclusiveness, which can enhance the vitality and competitiveness of the Hong Kong stock market in multiple dimensions such as listing, trading, product and capital flow. This year, the diversification and concentration of cornerstone investment entities participating in Hong Kong stock IPOs have demonstrated the international attractiveness of the Hong Kong stock market. ”

As of November 26, 2025, a total of 64 Chinese companies have gone public in the US stock market, but the lack of large-scale IPOs has led to a "counter trend" decline in fundraising. The average fundraising amount has dropped to a new low in the past five years year-on-year, with small-scale fundraising dominating.

The capital market continues to open up in a two-way institutional manner, and technology will become a bright background for listed companies

2025 marks the beginning of a new decade of interconnectivity between the capital markets of mainland China and Hong Kong. The two capital markets will further deepen cooperation, strengthen institutional coordination, market interconnectivity, and product linkage.

A-shares are gradually returning to regular issuance, and will continue to be promoted under the framework of "stabilizing pace, improving quality, and optimizing structure". Among them, the Beijing Stock Exchange has become the main force for IPO applications and guidance filing. The continuous deepening of multi-level capital market construction is expected to continuously expand the financing channels for enterprises. From the perspective of industry distribution, the main focus is on strategic emerging industries, with active applicants mainly covering projects in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, semiconductors, new energy, and biomedicine.

In terms of the Hong Kong IPO market, it is expected to maintain its popularity, but the growth pace tends to be stable, showing structural deepening characteristics. In terms of listed entities, the A+H model is expected to continue to be hot, while the return of Chinese concept stocks and specialized technology companies will jointly constitute an important source of listing. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange continues to promote the optimization of the listing system, further enhancing the overall efficiency and competitiveness of the Hong Kong securities market. Southbound funds are expected to maintain stable net inflows.

For companies planning to go public, He Zhaofeng suggests that "companies should actively embrace technology and build a future oriented business and financial governance system. Faced with the risks of cumbersome financial data collection and increasingly strict external regulatory audits, companies should consider building an integrated business and financial system, making it a priority for IPO preparation to connect business and financial data flows, fundamentally ensuring data homology, synchronization, and process transparency. And build a traceable data evidence chain, strengthen digital transformation and intelligent financial construction, and actively demonstrate digital governance capabilities to investors

September 3, 2025, the hands of time mark a new historical scale—

The grand celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japanese aggression and the world's anti-fascist war was held. This is a solemn ceremony for all peace-loving countries and peoples in the world.

Representatives from all walks of life and the public gathered in Tiananmen Square in Beijing for a grand assembly, where the Party and the state held a grand military parade to commemorate history, honor the martyrs, cherish peace, and create the future.

1931-1945, the Chinese people fought with blood and sweat, and achieved the first complete victory in resisting foreign aggression since modern times.

1945-2025, the great spirit of the anti-Japanese war has inspired the Chinese people to overcome all difficulties and dangers, the Chinese nation has achieved a great leap from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong, and the Chinese-style modernization has shown an extremely bright and brilliant prospect.

Historical memories never fade, and the tide of the times surges forward.

General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared: "The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable! The noble cause of human peace and development will surely succeed!"

Early autumn in Beijing, the sky is high and the earth is vast.

In the newly renovated Hall of Tiananmen, a large painting titled "Solidarity Can Achieve Anything" is hung: amidst the dyed woods and the red mountains, the Great Wall winds and winds like a giant dragon.

Outside the hall, 80 red flags fluttered in the wind on both sides of Tiananmen Square. In front of the majestic Monument to the People's Heroes, 14 watchtowers held up the years "1945" and "2025". The three main colors of the viewing platform in the square are the red of the city wall, the olive green of olive, and the rich gold of abundance, shaped like three huge "person" characters, forming the character "people".　　

At 8:35 a.m., Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, ascended the Tiananmen Rostrum and shook hands with the veteran anti-Japanese warriors Shen Bingsheng, Zhang Ping, Liu Shiye, Fu Ying, Luo Jinghui, and Song Qixiang, extending his highest respect to them.

This memorial meeting invited old soldiers, old comrades, old civil guards, representatives of local support models and representatives of the relatives of the war martyrs who participated in the anti-Japanese war to attend the ceremony on the spot.

On the reviewing stand, Qi Ying, a 97-year-old veteran of the anti-Japanese war, whose medals shone brightly on his chest, said: "I joined the Eighth Route Army when I was 12 years old, and I witnessed the founding of New China at the founding ceremony in 1949. Today, I once again feel the strength of our motherland. The fallen comrades, their blood did not flow in vain."

"My home is on the upper reaches of the Songhua River in Northeast China, where my compatriots are" "Where the enemy attacks, we must destroy him there" "Defend the hometown, defend the Yellow River, defend North China, defend all of China" "Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China" ...

The joint military band of more than a thousand players played familiar melodies, and the powerful voices of the choirs sang like a magnificent epic, telling the story of those passionate and heroic years of the beacon fire. The crowd at the memorial meeting couldn't help but sing along, inspiring the emotional resonance of the Chinese people at home and abroad.

As it has surged through the torrent of revolution and construction, and as it has been caught up in the tempests of reform and development, the CPC has led the Chinese people to ride the wind and split the waves, making the Chinese path broader and the Chinese strength irresistible.

"The magnificent War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has nurtured the great spirit of the war. This is a precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese people, which will always inspire us to overcome difficulties and move forward." said Wu Weirun, the chief designer of China's lunar exploration project and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

At this moment, on Dongchang'an Street, iron armor shines and heavy equipment is lined up. The people's army, with its strict military appearance, magnificent momentum and high spirit, is waiting for the inspection of the Party and the people.

From the south of the Yangtze River to the Great Wall, from the white mountains and black waters to the coast of the South China Sea, from the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River to the Gobi Desert, live broadcast signals spread all over the land of China.

At 8:55 a.m., General Secretary Xi Jinping, other members of the Party and state leadership, and international guests invited to attend the ceremony all arrived at the rostrum on the Tiananmen City Gate, and the entire venue burst into warm applause.

(II)

At 9 o'clock sharp, the meeting to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japanese aggression and the world's anti-fascist war began.

The 80-gun salute resounded into the clouds, and the Guard of Honor, with steady and powerful steps, marched from the Monument to the flag-raising area.

80 years, from great victory to great rejuvenation. This is the road to national independence and people's liberation, the road to national prosperity and people's happiness, the road to peaceful development and a shared future.

"Rise! Unwilling to be slaves! With our flesh and blood, we build our new Great Wall..."

The whole place sang the "March of the Volunteers" in unison, and the five-star red flag slowly rose.

At 9:08, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech from the Tiananmen City Tower.

On behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the Central Military Commission, I would like to pay tribute to all the old soldiers, comrades, patriotic people, and anti-Japanese generals who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression throughout the country, and to all the Chinese people at home and abroad who made significant contributions to the victory of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!

This is the Party and the state's remembrance of history and tribute to heroes.

From the shocking defeat of the Japanese invaders at Pingxingguan to the inspiring Hundred Regiments Campaign; from the "meat grinder" of the Battle of Songhu to the sense of relief at the Battle of Taierzhuang, the land of China has been adorned with heroes, supporting the unyielding struggle of a nation.

On the reviewing stand, General Tong Liao's grandson, Tong Xiaodong, listened attentively, his mind racing: "Those names engraved on the pillars of history are the eternal lighthouses of the Chinese nation."

A history of the Chinese people's united resistance against foreign aggression, a history of blood shed and mountains and rivers, is also a history of great practice of the great practice of the Chinese people's united resistance against foreign aggression, a history of blood shed and mountains and rivers.

At the historical juncture of national peril, the CPC, with the overall interests of the nation in mind, and with its broad vision and sense of mission, has maintained the overall situation of unity and anti-Japanese war, and lit the hope of national salvation.

As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, under the banner of the Anti-Japanese National United Front advocated by the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people fought the strong enemy with their iron-like backbone and built the Great Wall with their flesh and blood.

Thousands of miles away, Liu Ni, director of the Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall, who watched the live broadcast on television, could not calm down: "History is the best textbook. The Communist Party of China has a courageous responsibility, leading and calling on the Chinese people to write a magnificent epic of victory over the strong with the weak, and will surely win greater glory on the new journey."

Why this victory 80 years ago was great?

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The Chinese people have made great contributions to the world at the expense of a huge national sacrifice, to save human civilization and to defend world peace."

Fight for the survival of the nation, fight for the rejuvenation of the nation, and also fight for human justice.

It started the earliest, lasted the longest, and paid the highest price in the world anti-fascist war. The Chinese battlefield long contained and fought against the main military forces of Japanese militarism, supporting the Eastern main battlefield of the world anti-fascist war.

Commemoration is not only for the sake of respecting the dead and tracing our roots, but also to make peace and justice a permanent feature of our lives.

Only when countries and nations treat each other equally, live in harmony, and help each other can they maintain common security, eliminate the roots of war, and prevent historical tragedies from repeating themselves!

General Secretary Xi Jinping's words express the common aspiration of people around the world for peace, love for peace, and defense of peace.

It was a moving experience to return to the scene 10 years later, said Thomas Lube, a German friend, adding that the warm welcome was thanks to his grandfather, John Lube, who had provided shelter to many Chinese during the Nanjing Massacre.

"The Chinese leaders have mentioned peace many times, reiterating the beautiful vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, full of the responsibility of major countries and the responsibility of the times," said Thomas Rabe. Only by remembering history and cherishing peace can we create the future, he said.

History illuminates the future, and the journey ahead is endless.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued a powerful call to action——

"Unswervingly follow the socialist road with Chinese characteristics, inherit and carry forward the great spirit of the anti-Japanese war, strive for progress with perseverance and courage, and unite and strive to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong nation and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization!"

"Flag bearers take your positions!"

At 9:15, 60 flag bearers took up their positions in turn in front of the East and West Gate Pillars, and the parade began.

The stirring sound of the horn resounded through the square, and President Xi Jinping arrived in the inspection vehicle on Chang'an Street, paying tribute to the party flag, the national flag, and the military flag with a salute in front of the reviewing force.

The flag is the direction, the flag is the strength. Three flags, after countless washes of blood and fire, inspire the people's army to forge ahead and fight bravely, and to keep moving from victory to victory.

"Salute——" The command from the commander of the formation was given, and the soldiers and officers being reviewed had the gaze of a torch and the spirit of the wind.

"Comrades, hello!" "Chairman, hello!"

Comrades have worked hard! "For the people!"

Warm greetings, filled with trust and care; a loud answer, full of the majestic power of the mountains and rivers.

"Obey the party's command! Be capable of winning! Maintain excellent style!" "Justice will prevail! Peace will prevail! The people will prevail!" The soldiers in the reviewing stand shouted in unison as President Xi Jinping returned in his car.

At 9:44, the roar of the aircraft grew louder as it approached, marking the beginning of the parade.

Twenty-six helicopters formed a huge "80" character, and three helicopters flew over the Tiananmen Square with banners hanging.

This is the first parade to comprehensively advance China's modernization into a new journey, and it is a new appearance of the people's army striving to build the army for a hundred years.

The parade featured 45 formation (ladder) teams, with the participants mainly drawn from units that were formerly known as the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, and the South China Guerrillas.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our Party adhered to the principle that the people and the army are the foundation of victory, put forward and implemented the strategic general policy of a protracted war, led the opening up of enemy-occupied areas, turned the enemy's rear into the front line of the war of resistance, effectively contained and annihilated a large number of the enemy, and achieved brilliant results.

Dun Ningxin, a 29-year-old soldier from the Western Theater Command, has stepped onto the parade ground for the third time. The "Jingangzhuang" battle flag he holds high carries a fine tradition. In his heart, soldiers of the new era should be as brave and skillful in battle as their predecessors, continuing the glory.

A strong country must first strengthen its military, and a strong military is necessary for national security.

Today's people's army, with its indomitable fighting spirit and practical actions, guards the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests, and is the iron wall to protect the red mountains and rivers and defend the national dignity.

This is a concentrated display of the new look of the people's army in the new era, the new layout of the force structure, the new progress in modernization, and the new achievements in preparedness and combat readiness.

The hiking formation is coming!

The new military structure of the "four services plus four branches", namely the Army, Navy, Air Force, Rocket军 and military space forces, cyber space forces, information support forces, and the Logistics Support Force, was on display for the first time. The military branch flags and the flag of the armed police force were also unveiled for the first time.

With a momentum that was unyielding, 13 contingents, with their neat and resolute steps, marched out the military might and the national prestige.

The reserve force formation is straight and tall, and the reviewed personnel come from all walks of life, representing the glorious mission of the reserve force to return when called and to win in battle.

The 10th row face member Hong Yinda is a teacher at Yangzhi Primary School in Jixi County, Anhui Province, and also a reserve second-class soldier of the Second Base of the Rocket Army. "Put on armor, return to the camp, go to the battlefield, and win the battle" is a solemn commitment that he is always ready to practice.

The militia formation was majestic, and the female militia members接受 review were from the main anti-Japanese bases across the country that year.

Li Yitong, the leader, is from Yixian County, Hebei Province. On this land of heroes, she and the villagers carry forward the spirit of the Five Heroes of狼牙 Mountain and strive to promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside.

The equipment formation is coming over!

The land combat group, maritime combat group, air and missile defense group, information combat group, unmanned combat group, rear services support group, and strategic strike group, which are the joint combat groups, were reviewed in turn. The weapons and equipment selected from the current main battle equipment made in China are mostly making their first appearance.

Watching the country's heavy instruments pass by one after another, Yan Min, a CNC lathe operator from Jiangbei Company of the 9th Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry, was emotional: "As a front-line industrial worker, I am very proud to participate in the advanced equipment manufacturing. I will be conscientious and tighten every screw."

The iron stream is magnificent and its momentum shakes the world. The "Dongfeng-5C" liquid-fuel intercontinental strategic nuclear missile is a strategic weapon that forges a shield of peace. When the equipment formation appeared last, the whole venue burst into cheers.

The air formation is coming!

The Y-9 anti-submarine patrol aircraft, electronic reconnaissance aircraft, and radar jamming aircraft formed three wedges to be reviewed; the "Fat Girl" Y-20A and Y-20B were organized to fly in a combat formation; the J-16D, J-20, J-35A and other multi Fighters made a stunning appearance...

Eagles strike the vast sky, mission must be accomplished. Accelerate the domestic equipment, molt and update, enhance the long-range strike, and coordinated strike capabilities, the national airspace will never be violated.

This is a firm declaration by the Chinese people to remember history, cherish peace, and resolutely defend the achievements of the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japanese aggression and the world's anti-fascist war.

The battle flag flutters in the wind, and the bloodline continues.

In the reviewed war flag formation, 80 war flags represent the glorious honor of the anti-Japanese war. "Yang Jingyu Branch", "Pingxingguan Great Battle Assault Company", "Liu Laozhuang Company"... Each war flag is cast by the blood and life of the martyrs of the anti-Japanese war, and is a heroic epic that moves the soul.

The Chinese military, which has gone through the ups and downs of the years, is a majestic and victorious force, as well as a civilized and peaceful one.

The peacekeeping troops formation, striding forward, demonstrates the "Chinese blue helmet" unafraid of difficulties and worthy of the mission, interpreting the responsibility of a great power through actions and making important contributions to the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The training aircraft formation roared by, and seven performance aircraft drew 14 colorful smoke traces in the sky. This is a remembrance of the 14-year-long journey of the anti-Japanese war, symbolizing the 1.4 billion Chinese people striving on a new journey full of glory and dreams under the peaceful sky.

80,000 doves of peace take flight, 80,000 balloons rise into the air, flying over the Tiananmen rostrum, over the Monument to the People's Heroes, and into the higher, further blue sky.

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, the victory song is so loud..."

The whole place sang "Singing the Motherland" in unison, and the applause and cheers echoed in the square, marking the successful conclusion of the memorial meeting.

People waved the red flag with five stars, paid tribute to their ancestors, eulogized the times, and looked forward to the future.

China's past is already written in the annals of human history; China's present is being created by hundreds of millions of people; and China's future will surely be even better.

——On the road ahead, maintain our composure and confidence, and focus on doing our own thing well.

Learn from the past, and be vigilant for the future. The world today is not peaceful, and threats have never been far away.

"History tells us that backwardness leads to being beaten. Only with strength and the ability to win can we deter war." Dong Xiwang, director of the Institute of Unmanned Systems at Beihang University in Beijing, said that it is necessary to accelerate the research and development of cutting-edge technologies to firmly guard national security with independently developed advanced equipment.

No matter the past, present and future, China's development ultimately relies on itself.

This year, the "14th Five-Year Plan" will be completed, and the upcoming Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will study and make recommendations on the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan for the national economy and social development.

No matter how the external environment changes, we must focus on accelerating development. After the entire ethnic group was lifted out of poverty, life is getting better and better. We must insist on self-reliance and continue to strive, and not fall behind on the road to achieving common prosperity," said Gao De Rong, a representative from Yunnan who watched the event.

——On the road ahead, dare to struggle, be good at creating, and persevere in the struggle to realize the dream of rejuvenation.

After the ceremony, Zhang Jiming, a national model worker, said he was deeply moved: "Having gone through the glorious years, we understand more clearly the historical mission we bear. Hundred of millions of hearts need to be closely united to resonate the strong note of struggle."

The Chinese nation is a great nation that is not afraid of violence and strives for self-reliance. It has undergone the baptism of blood and fire, and can draw more wisdom and strength to move forward.

"The war of resistance is a common national memory of both sides of the strait," said Lu Lishi, a Taiwanese who was invited to attend the ceremony. The anti-Japanese struggle of the people of Taiwan is an important part of the national war of resistance, and we always breathe and share our fate with the motherland. A strong China will make greater contributions to world peace and development.

——On the road ahead, we will carry forward the spirit, build on past achievements, and continue to achieve new great victories.

Singing and cheering, the people on Tiananmen Square are full of passion.

In the crowd, General Zuo Quan's grandson, Sha Feng, held his mobile phone high. The screen, continuously lit, showed the only photo of Zuo Quan with his wife and daughter. "I want to tell Grandpa that this prosperous age is as you wished!"

"Watching the performance is a spiritual baptism," said Feng Yuanzheng, the artistic director of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, with a firm tone. "We want to contribute more excellent works that showcase the great spirit of the people and the times."

Covering the grand memorial event, Bangladeshi reporter Tanzeel Rahman of The New Times could hardly hide his excitement: "Only when the people of the world join hands and stand together can peace be sustained forever."

The best memorial to history is to create new history.

Towards the glorious shore of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, forward!

Towards a beautiful vision of world peace and development, forward!

Towards a bright future of building a community with a shared future for mankind, forward! (End)
