Chapter 1144 Anti-dumping Investigation against Japan
Then Fang Hongxin reported to Wang Maoru last year's financial support for 12 departments, the largest financial expenditure is naturally the Ministry of National Defense, followed by the Ministry of People's Livelihood, last year's Ministry of Education occupied the third place in the financial expenditure, followed by the Ministry of Communications, but this year with the merger of the General Administration of Railways into the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Communications will become the second profit department, and the first profit department is actually the Ministry of Sports.
In the 12 years of the Republic of China, the Ministry of Sports did not ask the Ministry of Finance for money, but instead made money -- of course, after the Ministry of Sports made money, in addition to using the money for sports infrastructure, it also used it for the training of athletes, the establishment of charitable funds, the random inspection of the first National Games of the Republic of China, and the preparation for the Olympic Games.
After reporting the financial situation of the 12th department, Fang Hongxin broadcast the administrative expenditures of the provinces and prefectures directly under the country last year, of which the largest financial expenditures were Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces, Fang Hongxin believes that the administrative expenditures of these two provinces must be important, and the Ministry of Finance will focus on the verification of these two provinces in the 13th year of the Republic of China, and cooperate with the Independent Commission Against Corruption to liquidate the officials.
Later, Wang Maoru and Fang Hongxin attended the national financial meeting of the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Finance announced that it would start to deepen the reform in the 13th year of the Republic of China, and the four departments of the Ministry of Finance will be increased to ten law departments, and the General Administration of Customs will be changed to the Customs Law Department under the Ministry of Finance after being merged into the Ministry of Finance, and the General Administration of Smoking will be changed to the Tobacco Law Department after being merged into the Ministry of Finance, and the Financial Management Law Department, the Financial Review Law Department, the Foreign Exchange Management Law Department, and the Business Standards Law Department will be added.
Thirteen years of the Republic of China. The powers of the Ministry of Finance will be further expanded, and in particular, the Department of Commercial Norms will be an important unit of the country's macroeconomic regulation and control. Although China was a market economy at this time, in order to prevent inflation, financial crisis, hoarding of goods, and malicious competition. The Ministry of Finance can directly intervene in market management and regulate and control the market with abnormal fluctuations in the form of state financial operations, so as to prevent turmoil in the country.
And giving the Ministry of Finance such a big power, but also made the Ministry of Finance excited, in the years ago, the Ministry of Finance everyone worked overtime. Only then did the government workers begin to realize that this government was actually separated from the Beiyang government, and that Wang Maoru's government was not just completely new. Even the composition of the government is completely new.
The increase in government departments is not because people know that there are more people who eat public meals, but because the work is scientific and meticulous, making the management discipline more appropriate. The number of law departments in the Ministry of Finance has increased. It also allows more economic talents to participate in the construction of the country.
The Ministry of Finance then announced that the Chinese government will continue to support industries in the 13th year of the Republic of China, especially the textile industry, steel industry, and machinery manufacturing industry. The Department of Commercial Standards under the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Customs jointly carry out anti-dumping investigations, which will conduct anti-dumping investigations on foreign products that affect market price trends and are of extremely poor quality. This is especially true for Japanese products that have been repeatedly criticized by Chinese people and are extremely cheap. If the Japanese goods are shoddy. For dumping products against China, the Chinese customs will impose an anti-dumping duty of 1,000 percent on Japanese goods.
The move was immediately supported by domestic manufacturing, but it also made the Japanese government very unhappy.
The Ministry of Finance immediately cited Japanese bicycles as an example, and the bicycles produced in Japan are of extremely poor quality, and are jokingly called worship cars by the Chinese people, that is, a bicycle can only be ridden for one week before it breaks. Compared with domestic bicycles, they can be ridden for more than two years, and their quality far exceeds that of Japanese products. However, the bicycles sold by Japan to China cost five silver dollars each. And the price of domestic bicycles is 18 silver dollars, although the Chinese people are also anti-Japanese. However, most citizens still choose Japanese worship bikes when buying bicycles - they are cheaper.
The anti-dumping investigation will be the largest action to protect domestic industry since the establishment of China Customs.
At this time, the Chinese textile industry trade union also applied to the Ministry of Finance for an anti-dumping investigation against Japan, because the price of Japanese textiles is actually lower than the price of finished domestic textiles. Compared with Japanese bicycles, the quality of Japanese cloth is much better, and they are also positioned as ordinary people in China, which has caused China's textile industry to suffer one blow after another.
Chen Shouting, a Shandong businessman who was then the chairman of the China Textile Industry Trade Union, said that in addition to the costs of technology, technology, printing and dyeing, transportation, etc., the cost price of Japanese textiles sold to China should be at least equal to the price of Chinese textiles, and there will be no reason that the price of Japanese textiles is two-thirds of the price of Chinese textiles.
Subsequently, the Department of Commercial Standards under the Ministry of Finance accepted the textile anti-dumping investigation submitted by Chen Shouting. However, this move was not only opposed by Japan, but even the United States, Britain, and France also opposed China's approach, believing that the Chinese government was deliberately protecting its own industry and persecuting foreign industry -- isn't this nonsense? What government does not protect its own industry?
The Department of Business Norms has ignored the protests of the four countries, and if you want to protest to the prime minister and the president, we are under the orders of the president, we can't stand it, we will investigate ours, and you will protest yours.
Subsequently, the Secretariat of the Presidential Office arranged an exclusive interview with President Wang Maoru on North China Radio, and on January 23, Wang Maoru made a live presidential speech.
Wang Maoru recalled the major events that took place in China last year, and last year was a year of pride and regret for the Chinese people, because in the 12th year of the Republic of China, China's national defense forces beat the proud Soviet Russian Empire with an iron fist, expanded the territory of the Western Regions for China, and signed a memorandum of understanding between China and the Soviet Union, which increased China's territory to 14.86 million square kilometers and became the third largest country in the world. (1st Great Britain, 2nd Soviet Russian Empire, 4th France, 5th USA)
However, in the second half of the year, due to the contamination of the whole world caused by the Japanese JVIS virus, China, which is closest to Japan, was naturally not spared, and under the strong command of the central government, it further carried out centralized power and management, and successfully resisted the attack of Japan's JVIS. At the same time, in the second half of the year, China successively recovered all the concessions in Wuhan and some of the Japanese concessions in China, and forced Japan to give up all the concessions one after another, making China a rising political power.
In the area of education, in the 12th year of the Republic of China, China correspondingly established 1,400 primary schools, 800 senior primary schools, 400 technical secondary schools of various types, more than 200 middle schools, 22 undergraduate universities, and 49 specialized universities, laying an excellent foundation for China's literacy eradication.
On the economic front, China's fiscal revenue in the past 12 years has reached a gratifying 730 million workers, China's economy has fully recovered, and last year China established 29,000 new factories, 111,000 new companies, and 7,000 new economic farms in the north, providing millions of jobs for China.
On the military front, in addition to the great victory in the Battle of the Western Regions, the modernization and reform of China's national defense forces have also gradually accelerated, and the five forms of military service, including the national defense force, the border defense force, the armed police, the reserve garrison regiment, and the militia, have enabled China to have an army of 2 million and a war potential of 10 million, making important contributions to China's national security.
In terms of transportation, in the 12th year of the Republic of China, China's four-lane highways increased by 10,000 kilometers, two-lane highways increased by 50,000 kilometers, railways increased by 7,000 kilometers, and the number of sea canal transportation companies has reached more than 600. What is even more surprising to the world is that China's air transport has become the world's first, China's low-altitude airship transport industry is ahead of any country in the world, and the military transport airships produced by the National Defense Force Arsenal were first supplied to civilian air transport companies. In the past year, China has added 37 airship transport companies. The airship transport covered almost all the capitals and major state capitals of China's provinces, and of course workers from Germany contributed a lot.
In terms of urban construction, the gradual increase in buildings is replacing the private thatched huts and bricks, and the Chinese people are beginning to recognize modern architecture, and public facilities such as parks and public toilets have appeared in cities and towns around the country.
In terms of diplomacy, China has begun to establish diplomatic relations with more than two dozen countries, and actively recovering concessions, awakening national pride, increasing China's influence and discourse power in the world, and giving strong support to Chinese abroad.
Finally, Wang Maoru said on the radio: "China's rise is just around the corner, China's rise is unstoppable, and China's rise is quietly coming when you and I are pursuing a better life." Citizens, compatriots, sisters, the twelfth year of the Republic of China is a year of joy, and the upcoming thirteenth year of the Republic of China will be a year of harvest. I hope that compatriots will believe in the government, in themselves, in their friends, in their relatives, and in the Chinese nation will be able to change the world and restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”
Unable to wait for everyone's applause, Wang Maoru hurriedly drove to the Ministry of Education to give guidance to the Ministry of Education. Wang Maoru also chatted with Ministry of Education officials about the creation of the education system.
Wang Maoru attaches great importance to education, especially in last year's investment in basic education, calling for greater investment in education in Shandong, Henan, Sichuan, and Guangdong, which are already places where Chinese Confucian culture has been strongly influenced. Wang Maoru also knew that in that time and space, the Confucian culture in these provinces had been greatly damaged, and the provinces that were originally the most civilized had become empty talk and a place where interests were paramount. What is simply that there is no cultural fault line in several populous provinces today, and simply people are not confused and fall into a complete interest theory because of the loss of cultural traditions. Wang Maoru has established the most schools among the four most populous provinces. (To be continued......)
