On 20 September, Fan Wuxian and Shen Ying flew from Sydney to Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Let's go over here with the Chinese delegation.

This is also the first time that a Chinese head of state has visited New Zealand, so the reception of the other party is of the highest standard, and it is obvious that the New Zealand side attaches great importance to this visit.

Fan Wuxian and Shen Ying appeared in the team of the visiting group as representatives of the business community, and the appearance of the two of them also attracted great attention from the media, after all, the previous wedding of the two people can be said to be shocking, and their own identities are also heavyweights, so they naturally stole a lot of shots, especially the media from foreign countries and Hong Kong and Taiwan followed them non-stop.

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

New Zealand is known for its "green", although the territory is mountainous, it is a temperate maritime climate, the temperature difference between the four seasons is not large, the plant growth is very luxuriant, the forest coverage rate is 30%, natural pastures or farms account for half of the country's land area, and the vast forests and pastures make New Zealand a veritable green kingdom.

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

The North Island's first peak, Ruapehu, is nearly 2,800 metres high and is home to Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake. It covers an area of more than 600 square kilometers. The South Island is home to the country's highest peak, Mount Cook. Franz in the Alps. The Josef and Fuchs glaciers are the lowest glaciers in the world. Outside the mountain there is a series of glacial lakes, and Sutherland Falls has one of the highest drops in the world at 580 metres.

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

The Maori were the first inhabitants of New Zealand, and in the 14th century, the Maori came from Polynesia to settle in New Zealand, becoming the first inhabitants of New Zealand, and in 1840 the British forced the Maori chiefs to sign the Treaty of Waitangi, which included the land in the British Empire. New Zealand gained full autonomy in 1947 but remains a member of the Commonwealth.

The Maori people have a long history and a splendid culture, and their carving is exquisite, from the eaves of the house to the walking stick. Their distinctive dances are unique to the Maori people, with their brightly coloured national costumes, beautiful garlands, green jade hanging from their necks and a pampas skirt tied around their waists, and the Maori welcome dance is the highest etiquette for New Zealand's official guests to greet guests.

It's special to welcome guests from New Zealand Maori. There was a family-style welcome ceremony, and the venue began with silence. Men and women lined up neatly on both sides, and after a long silence, suddenly a middle-aged man with bare arms and bare feet stepped out, first with a loud shout, and then with a loud song. As soon as the song ended, the young girls danced beautifully, and the people around them sang in low voices. After the song and dance stopped, they came over one by one to bumper with the guests. Nose tip to nose tip, touch each other three times, welcome to enter**.

There is also a challenge welcome ceremony, in which the welcomers are all dressed in ethnic attire, led by shirtless and barefoot, wearing straw skirts, with a face painted on their faces, holding spears, shouting, waving at the guests, and sticking out their tongues from time to time. When approaching a guest, throw a sword or green leaf branch on the ground. At this time, the guest must pick it up and hold it respectfully until the other person has finished dancing, and then return it with both hands. This is the oldest welcome gift and the most grandiose.

This time, New Zealand welcomed the No. 1 chief and other visitors to use this kind of challenging welcome ceremony, Fan Wuxian and Shen Ying watched the Maori song and dance in the welcome queue, and they both felt very interesting, and sighed that this trip was not wasted.

There are about less than 400,000 Maori in New Zealand. Their skin is slightly brown, but thanks to the mercy of the British immigrants and their descendants who came here, the Maori of New Zealand were not killed in the same mass as the Aborigines of Australia. In the modern era, the Maori people have a good living condition.

After the welcoming ceremony, the two heads of state made brief speeches to the media at the airport, and then drove to the prime minister's residence, presumably to attend a cocktail party or something, and then it was their turn to discuss things.

There are a lot of people who attend the reception, but the Westerners' drinking parties are generally not as luxurious as those in the East, and they are more like buffets, except that there are more drinks and more things to eat, not so much to eat, but to provide an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other.

Fan Wuxi and Shen Ying received a lot of warm greetings all the way over, and many people wanted to come over to take pictures with the two of them, while the media reporters followed them like tails and refused to leave for a moment.

"It's painful for you to do this." Fan Wuxi held a glass of red wine, hugged Shen Ying's waist, and said to the reporters next to him with some distress as he walked, "Could you please give us a little private space?" Besides, there are so many snacks, fruits, and seafood on the table next to you, don't you feel very sorry if you don't eat a little bit? ”

"It's a pity that we can't catch the news, the food is the same for us, and it's no problem to go back to the hotel to eat instant noodles." The reporters who had been following them were cheeky and refused to leave.

But that being said, that being said. They weren't stupid, and they would grab a bunch of food from the table next to them and fill it in their mouths.

The two men had no acquaintances here, and the people they knew were government officials, and they were both communicating with the New Zealanders, and there was nothing to do for a while, so the two of them found a corner and sat down.

Fan Wuxian simply ran over and got a plate, picked up a lot of food in it, and brought a bottle of red wine, and the two of them sat here and began to eat.

"It doesn't seem like a good thing to do this, and people think we're hungry and we're hungry." Shen Ying turned her head to Fan Wuxian and asked.

"What's there?" Fan Wuxian stuffed a piece of dim sum into his mouth, and said to Shen Ying nonchalantly, "In fact, Westerners pay the most attention to practical needs, and you can do what you should do without any scruples, which is in line with their views, we don't need to care about what they think, this is the principle of dealing with Westerners." ”

Although Shen Ying used to live in Germany for a while to learn manufacturing art, and also played in European countries for a while, she was always accompanied by a maid and did not need to worry about other things, so she was not very clear about this. At this time, after listening to Fan Wuxi's words, I also felt that there was some truth.

"What do you think is the purpose of Chief One's visit to New Zealand?" Shen Ying asked Fan Wuji, "Such a small country, with a population of only four million, is it worth a visit by the head of a big country in person?" ”

Fan Wuxian hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, of course, it's unlikely that it was a simple visit, or there are some hidden entanglements of interests behind it, I guess it has something to do with international relations." ”

"What's the connection? Hasn't relations with the United States eased recently? Shen Ying asked with some curiosity.

"Huh. The United States is not the only country in the world that needs to deal with it-" Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "It probably has something to do with China's market economy status, and I can't say exactly what I want to say." ”

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

In the past nearly 10 years, although China has made important progress in establishing a market economic system, many Western countries, including the United States and the European Union, have not yet formally recognized China as a market economy country, and a series of adverse effects brought about by this have become a weakness in China's development of foreign trade.

Market economy status has become an important influencing factor in China's response to anti-dumping, and domestic enterprises often lose cases when dealing with anti-dumping because they have not obtained the treatment of market economy status.

When a Chinese enterprise encounters anti-dumping, due to its so-called non-market economy status, during the anti-dumping investigation, if the enterprise cannot provide conclusive evidence to prove that the product was produced under the conditions of a market economy, the other party must use the so-called production cost of the substitute country to determine the production cost of the Chinese product. However, the cost of the surrogate country is usually higher than the production cost in China, and the conclusion is that the sales price of Chinese products is lower than the production cost, so that the Chinese enterprise is in a losing position.

"Generally speaking, Western countries mainly evaluate the status of the market economy from five aspects." Fan Wuxian said to Shen Ying, "the extent of government intervention in resource allocation and corporate decision-making; the degree of privatization of firms and the transition between the old and new institutions, such as whether to abolish non-market means of trade and compensation; whether it has a transparent, non-discriminatory corporate law that guarantees the rights of businesses and equity owners; Laws and regulations in place to protect intellectual property rights and bankruptcy operations; There is a financial industry that is independent of the government. Obviously, in the current situation, it is very difficult to achieve this goal, at least I don't think that China has the conditions to meet their requirements now. In fact, no matter how hard we try, it is not so easy to get more developed countries to recognize China's market economy status. Because, they are afraid that China will become an economic power, that China will surpass them economically, and that China will surpass them in development in various fields. They are also afraid that if they recognize China's market economy status, it will have an impact on their own economy. Therefore, they do not recognize China's market economy status, and they want to attack China's economy in all fields, and use various means to slander China, so that their own people will have a sense of disgust with China. ”

"As for that? Aren't they all ** countries? Shen Ying listened in disbelief.

"Of course, even between the United States and the European Union, between the United States and Japan, and between the European Union and Japan, there are quite a few contradictions. And what about the relationship between these countries and China? Fan Wuxian said.

In fact, in the media of developed countries, it is rare to see media reports on China that are positive. Whether it's newspapers, magazines, or TV news, this is the case. There was even a foreign friend who took a photo from 10 years ago and asked Fan Wuxian, is this what the capital of China looks like?

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

Among these anti-dumping cases, the United States, the European Union, and Japan are the countries with the most complaints. The reason why they did so is directly related to the recognition of China's market economy status. If they do not recognize China's market economy status, they will have a lot of advantages to stand on in antidumping cases. If China's market economy status is recognized, then their anti-dumping security will not have any advantage to take advantage of, and their case will end in failure.

If they recognize China's market economy status, they also recognize China's rapid economic development in recent years, and the markets of these countries will be affected by Chinese goods. All this can fully illustrate the fear and fear of China in developed countries.

There are two important factors for these so-called developed countries not to recognize China's market economic status, one is the market economy and the other is the military element, and the main reason why they do not recognize China's market economic status is that once China recognizes China's market economic status, China will develop its own military.

This reason, although very ridiculous, is because every country has the right to develop its own military, and every country has the right to legitimate defense. It's a little ridiculous to be able to talk about this reason that is not a reason. As for what the real reason is, although these countries have not said it, it is already clear in everyone's heart.

"The exchanges between countries are more hypocritical." After listening to Fan Wuxi's explanation, Shen Ying said with some emotion.

Fan Wuxian replied with a smile, "This is very normal, as the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." In the face of huge interests, everything has to stand aside, and the United States does not mention it, even if it is a few countries with the best relations with China, what is the so-called traditional friendship, but do you have to know how many benefits they have to take from China every year to be able to maintain this traditional friendship? ”

In fact, it is true that as Fan Wuxian said, all countries in the world are playing their own tricks, fighting for their own living space, and if they want to find allies, they can meet the requirements without empty words.

There are no pop-ups
