　　At the beginning of 2023, the state subsidy for new energy vehicles of up to 10,000 yuan was officially withdrawn.

　　According to the Notice on the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles in 2022 issued by the Ministry of Finance and other four departments, the national subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles will be terminated on December 31, 2022, after which the licensed vehicles will no longer be subsidized. Under the national subsidy policy in 2022, the subsidy for plug-in hybrid vehicles is 4,800 yuan, the subsidy for new energy vehicles with a cruising range of 300-400 kilometers is 9,100 yuan, and the subsidy for vehicles with a cruising range of over 400 kilometers is 12,600 yuan.

　　Recently, the reporter from The Paper found that there are "various" countermeasures for auto companies to withdraw from the State Compensation Fund: some companies directly announced price increases, others made high-profile promises not to raise prices, and some companies launched preferential promotions on the basis of not raising prices. In addition, many companies chose to stay put.

　　This year’s withdrawal of state subsidies means that the cost of new energy vehicles has increased by about 10 thousand yuan, and whether this part of the cost will be borne by car companies or passed on to consumers has become the focus of market attention.

　　Price hike: pass on part of the cost, but less than 10,000 yuan.

　　The earliest official announcement of price increase was BYD, the leader of new energy vehicle enterprises.

　　On November 23rd, last year, BYD released the Explanation on Vehicle Price Adjustment, announcing that the official guide prices of its Dynasty, Ocean and Tengshi new energy vehicles will be adjusted on January 1st, 2023, with the increase range ranging from 2,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan. The notice said that this price adjustment is related to the withdrawal of new energy vehicles, but it is still affected by the price increase of batteries. On December 31, 2022, BYD Auto issued a notice again to officially confirm the price increase news.

　　After BYD, some car companies followed suit and announced price increases.

　　On November 30, 2022, GAC Ai ‘an issued a statement saying that the countries that have been licensed after December 31, 2022 will no longer give subsidies (existing subsidy amount: 12,600 yuan/vehicle for pure electric vehicles); At the same time, since the second half of the year, the prices of main raw materials for batteries have continued to rise sharply. Affected by the above two main factors, Aeon will raise the official guide price of its related models from January 1, with the range of 3,000-8,000 yuan.

　　On December 11th, 2022, Changan Deep Blue, the main brand of Changan New Energy, announced that it expected to raise the price of Changan Deep Blue SL03 by 2000-8000 yuan. At present, Changan Deep Blue has officially raised the price by 3000-6000 yuan, which has raised the price increase of entry-level models, but lowered the price increase of high-end models.

　　On December 22, 2022, Ruilan Automobile, a subsidiary of Geely, announced that it would adjust its selling price from January 1, 2023, with an increase range of 5,000-8,000 yuan.

　　In addition to the above-mentioned car companies, Roewe Automobile, Volkswagen ID. series models and Chery Little Ant series models have all raised the prices of their models in 2023.

　　However, it is worth noting that the price adjustment of the above-mentioned car companies is mostly concentrated in the range of 2000-8000 yuan, rather than about 10,000 yuan that matches the national subsidy in 2022. The competition in the new energy vehicle market is so fierce that car companies can only choose to pass on some of the costs to consumers and some of them will be borne by the enterprises themselves.

　　Car companies do not raise prices or guarantee sales.

　　A large number of brands announced the policy of "time-limited insured price" on the eve of the withdrawal of the state subsidy at the end of 2022, and promised that users who placed orders before December 31, 2022 would continue to enjoy new energy purchase subsidies. In 2023, many car companies continued the "insurance policy" and announced "no price increase" in a high-profile manner, which is undoubtedly to ensure the continuous growth of sales.

　　On January 1st, Xpeng Motors announced in the official Weibo that in 2023, Xpeng Motors will not increase its price with the withdrawal of new energy vehicles. According to the announcement, according to the relevant national policies and regulations, the subsidy for the purchase of new energy vehicles has been terminated on December 31, 2022, and vehicles that have been licensed since January 1, 2023 will no longer enjoy state subsidies (the amount of each subsidy ranges from 10,080 yuan to 13,860 yuan). In 2023, the national suggested retail price of various models in Xpeng Motors will remain the same as the comprehensive subsidized price at the end of 2022.

　　On the same day, Tesla did not announce the price increase, but also introduced a limited-time preferential policy. From January 1 to February 28, 2023, users can purchase Model 3 and Model Y and complete the delivery, and enjoy a limited delivery incentive of 6,000 yuan; At the same time, if you choose the corresponding auto insurance of Tesla cooperative insurance institutions, you can enjoy a limited-time insurance subsidy of 4,000 yuan on the basis of 6,000 yuan incentives, that is, a maximum discount of 10,000 yuan.

　　For Tesla’s preferential promotion, the industry generally believes that it is because its sales in 2022 are not up to expectations and dare not rashly raise prices. Tesla bicycles have high profits and large profit margins. Coupled with the current saturation of production capacity, increasing delivery has become Tesla’s top priority.

　　In addition, C01 model of Zero Run Automobile and Wei brand of Great Wall Motor have also announced that their prices will not rise for the time being.

　　In addition to the "price increase faction" and "price protection faction", there are also car companies that have not expressed their views and have not adjusted their prices. On January 3rd, The Paper reporter learned from the sales staff of Weilai Automobile that Weilai Automobile has not adjusted the price of its models at present.

　　Zhang Xiang, dean of the New Energy Automobile Technology Research Institute of Jiangxi New Energy Technology Vocational College, told The Paper that the first quarter has always been the off-season of automobile consumption, and many consumers who need to buy cars choose to buy cars at the end of the year, and the market has also formed a phenomenon of "oversupply", so some brands will choose not to raise prices after the withdrawal of the state subsidy.

　　Zhang Xiang mentioned that price is a means to adjust the relationship between supply and demand, and the sales volume of car companies has risen and fallen. At present, the sales volume of car companies such as Tucki is not good, and there is no price increase. This does not mean that their sales volume will not increase after that. "Overall, with the technological progress, the price of cars must be declining, and the cost performance is constantly improving. The current price changes are only short-term fluctuations."

　　According to the data released by previous car companies, in 2022, Nezha Automobile won the crown with 152,100 cars, and the second and third place were Ideal and Weilai, with sales of 133,200 and 122,500 respectively. Xpeng Motors, the champion of annual sales in 2021, failed to enter the top three in 2022, with a cumulative annual delivery of 120,800 vehicles.

　　How to get to the auto market in the first quarter?

　　The measures taken by car companies to deal with the withdrawal of state subsidies reflect the different expectations of different companies for market sales in 2023. There are also many controversies about the trend of China auto market in 2023.

　　On January 3, china automobile dealers association said at the monthly situation analysis meeting that the peak of Covid-19 infection made the passenger flow of car purchases not reach the expected growth at the end of 2022, and it was difficult for the passenger flow to reach the peak in January 2023. The Spring Festival holiday, consumers going home for the New Year and other factors further affected the passenger flow growth in January. In addition, the decline of consumers’ purchasing power, lack of consumer confidence, and cautious attitude towards the purchase of large commodities have had a great negative impact on the automobile market in January. On the whole, the car sales in January will decline, and the market performance will be less than expected.

　　Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Association, also said recently that the automobile market may be in a downturn in the first half of 2023. According to the data of the Passenger Car Association, the retail sales volume of China passenger car market in November 2022 was 1.649 million, down 9.2% year-on-year and 10.5% month-on-month. This is the first time since 2008 that the "Golden September, Silver, Ten Bronzes and Eleven" features a month-on-month decline, among which the conventional fuel car market is under great pressure.

　　In the case of the downturn of fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have made great contributions to the growth of the overall automobile market. According to the previous analysis of the Federation, the subsidy for new energy vehicles will fall by 12,600 yuan in 2022, which is much higher than the fall of 5,000 yuan in the previous two years. Some car companies will announce the information of price increase next year, which will promote the snapping effect of new energy vehicles at the end of the year and push up sales.

　　However, from the historical data, subsidies can push up sales, and the withdrawal of subsidies often leads to a sharp decline in sales in a short period of time. Regarding whether the withdrawal of subsidies will cause the new energy auto market to get cold, Cui Dongshu believes that the core of the development of new energy vehicles this year is the substantial improvement of product strength and the improvement of enterprise innovation ability. For example, BYD’s growth has contributed a huge increase to the market, and the entry-level car market such as Wuling Hongguang Mini has also achieved a large increase. The new energy vehicle market is mainly driven by market demand.

　　He said that although the national subsidy policy has been withdrawn, there are still many policy supports in the whole new energy vehicle market, such as road rights support for new energy vehicles, purchase rights support, vehicle purchase tax reduction, etc. "The penetration rate of our new energy vehicles in November has reached 36%. With such a high penetration rate, our automobile market has entered a stage of marketization."

　　The Federation predicts that the wholesale sales of new energy passenger cars in China will reach 8.4 million in 2023, with a year-on-year increase of over 30%.

CCTV News:The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said at the press conference of the State Council Office on March 7 that in the face of this year’s complicated and severe situation, we will adhere to the bottom line thinking, make comprehensive policies and precise regulation, and do our best to ensure the supply and price stability of bulk commodities. China has the conditions, ability and confidence to continue to maintain a stable price operation.

Hu Zucai, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the international commodity price situation has become more severe, complicated and uncertain due to multiple factors, such as the COVID-19 epidemic, the shift of monetary policies in major economies, and especially the intensification of geopolitical conflicts, which has posed new challenges to the domestic work of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices.

Hu Zucai, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission:On the whole, China has strong economic resilience, large market space and rich policy toolbox, especially the bumper harvest of grain production year after year, sufficient pig production capacity and abundant supply of industrial and agricultural products and services. It is fully qualified, capable and confident to continue to maintain the stable operation of prices, and the annual CPI target of about 3% set in this year’s government work report can be achieved.

Hu Zucai said that this year, we will focus on five aspects: First, we will do a good job in ensuring food supply and price stability to ensure food security. This year, we will stabilize the sown area and output, do a good job in ensuring the supply and price of chemical fertilizers, maintain the sufficient price of grain, make rational use of international resources, strengthen the regulation of reserves, and maintain the balance between supply and demand. Second, do a good job in ensuring energy supply and price stability to ensure energy security. Focus on ensuring coal supply and price stability, improve the price transmission mechanism of coal and electricity, and ensure safe and stable supply. The third is to do a good job in ensuring the supply and price stability of important mineral products such as iron ore to ensure the safety of the supply chain of the industrial chain. The fourth is to keep a close eye on market trends and strengthen market supervision according to law. The fifth is to do a good job in ensuring the basic livelihood of the people in need and firmly grasp the bottom line of people’s livelihood. Guide all localities to conscientiously implement the linkage mechanism of price subsidies, promptly start and fully distribute temporary price subsidies, and effectively protect the basic livelihood of people in need.

In 2024, the word "trade-in" has received unprecedented attention.

At this year’s National People’s Congress, the government work report stated this year’s tasks: stabilize and expand traditional consumption, encourage and promote the trade-in of consumer goods, and boost the mass consumption of intelligent networked new energy vehicles and electronic products.

This is the third time recently that the Central Committee has mentioned trade-in at a heavy meeting.

The reporter interviewed relevant departments, enterprises and experts in Chongqing, all of whom were eagerly awaiting this round of trade-in, hoping that the national policy would be more powerful and targeted.

But this time it’s obviously different. First, the scope of this trade-in is wider. As can be seen from the contents of the central meeting, it covers household appliances, automobiles and industrial and agricultural equipment updates. Second, the supporting role of current consumption in economic development has become more prominent, which means that more funds and resources will be invested in this round of trade-in. According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, the contribution rate of consumption to economic growth reached 82.5% in 2023, while the average annual contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth in China in the past 10 years was 50.4%. It is not difficult to see behind the digital changes that this round of trade-in of consumer goods will be expected to be higher. Third, related consumer goods have entered a window period of upgrading. Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce, introduced at the economic theme press conference held at the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress that there are more than 16 million passenger cars in use in China, of which more than 7 million are over 15 years old. On average, about 270 million household appliances exceed the safe service life every year. Wang Wentao judged that the potential renewal demand of consumer goods has entered a concentrated release period. According to the estimation of Pacific Securities Research Report, according to the average selling price of new cars of 170,000 yuan, the replacement of old vehicles is expected to bring about 1.3 trillion yuan of consumption scale increase in 2024.

Lang Xuehong, Deputy Secretary-General of china automobile dealers association, said in an interview with the media that by the end of 2023, there were about 340 million cars in China, but only 20 million new energy vehicles, accounting for only about 6% of the total number of cars. The replacement cycle of traditional fuel vehicles is about 6 to 8 years, and that of new energy vehicles is about 3 to 5 years. "From the perspective of the whole society, 40% of the increase in new car consumption this year will come from trade-in." Combined with the consumption of about 25 million new cars in China last year, Lang Xuehong judged that the market size of trade-in was about 10 million.

And the scale of equipment renewal is even larger. At the economic theme press conference of the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress, Zheng Shanjie, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, studied and formulated the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods, focusing on the implementation of the "four major actions" of equipment renewal, trade-in of consumer goods, recycling and standard improvement. Taking equipment renewal as an example, the focus will be on seven fields: industry, agriculture, construction, transportation, education, cultural tourism and medical care. With the deepening of high-quality development, the demand for equipment renewal will continue to expand, and it is estimated that it will be a huge market with an annual scale of more than 5 trillion yuan.

Mo Xin, vice president of Suzhou Institute of Environmental Innovation in Tsinghua, once participated in the research and formulation of the "trade-in" policy for automobiles and household appliances in 2009. He said that the new round of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods are greatly different from the past in terms of implementation areas and subsidy standards, and are expected to be broader and higher.

The reporter learned from the Municipal Commission of Commerce that the 2024 "Aishang Chongqing" green smart home appliances promotion campaign to enter towns, streets and communities was launched on the 8th. Various home appliance enterprises will take home appliances to the countryside, trade-in subsidies, full reduction and discount, etc., and carry out various forms of green smart home appliances trade-in to benefit the people. Enterprises participating in the activities will give consumers who meet the scope of trade-in subsidies a maximum subsidy of 10%, and consumers will write off subsidies or deduct the actual price according to the corresponding standards when paying and settling accounts.

For example, Chongbai Trading Co., Ltd. will organize its 41 stores to carry out the promotion activities of "315 billion yuan subsidy" to benefit the people. Suning carried out activities such as trade-in and high subsidy of 10%; JD.COM will carry out the 315 Home Appliances Life Festival, and trade in the old for the new to make up for the 1000 yuan and other promotional activities; Midea Electric has carried out activities such as trade-in of all its categories and subsidizing 1000 yuan.

The "Smart Home Dishwasher Festival" was also launched on the same day. Citizens can enjoy the subsidy of the Supreme 1000 yuan Association when buying dishwashers, and can recycle old household appliances for free, and enjoy the recycling subsidy of the Supreme 300 yuan.

On March 9th, Chongqing Custom Home Furnishing Association and Chongqing Household Electrical Appliances Service Federation will organize more than 100 brands of various types to hold "315" home industry promotion activities at the main venue of Guanyinqiao Business Circle, launch "home trade-in start-up activities, and launch welfare packages such as full subsidy coupons and discount for old goods evaluation". According to reports, the Municipal Commission of Commerce will provide special funds to support the "Aishang Chongqing" Green Home (Spring) Huimin Expo, which started on March 7, and support key enterprises to trade in old smart home appliances.

Liu Yi, vice chairman and president of Chongqing Akita Gear Co., Ltd., told the reporter, "We are also waiting for this policy to come out. It can be said that we have been waiting for a long time." Liu Yi said that Akita Gear spends more than 100 million yuan on equipment upgrading every year, mainly for technical transformation and expansion of production capacity, and both domestic and foreign equipment are being purchased. In 2023, Akita Gear spent 160 million yuan to update high-end motorcycle gear processing equipment and new energy vehicle gear processing equipment. Liu Yi believes that the demand for equipment renewal in Chongqing’s manufacturing industry is considerable, and the new round of policies will accelerate the overall upgrading of Chongqing’s manufacturing industry.

The reporter then interviewed Yang Qiang, the equipment supervisor of the assembly workshop of Changan Automobile Liangjiang Factory. He told reporters that with the explosion of sales of Changan Automobile, there are three kinds of equipment to be upgraded in this year’s workshop: one is adaptive cruise and panoramic image calibration equipment, the other is initialization and ECU comprehensive electrical inspection equipment, and the third is antifreeze filling machine, all of which are used for the manufacture of intelligent networked new energy vehicles.

Chen Jiawei, head of marketing planning of Chongbai Electric Strategy Department, told the reporter, "We are very much looking forward to the introduction of this trade-in policy. Now our sales platform and manufacturers are jointly doing trade-in. It is not enough to rely on our strength. The country and the government will pull it together and the strength will be even greater. " Chen Jiawei said that Chongbai Electric has paid more attention to the stock market and put it on the old-for-new, and is very much looking forward to this policy. "Not only us, but almost all electrical appliance sales platforms, Suning and JD.COM, have great expectations for this policy, hoping to set off a wave of trends. Judging from our exchanges with electrical appliance manufacturers, regardless of Haier, Midea, Gree and Changhong, they are vigorously promoting trade-in this year, which is their focus this year. " Chen Jiawei believes that now everyone has paid more attention to health. From the sales situation, green smart home appliances are now attracting more attention from consumers, such as fresh air conditioners, dishwashers and dryers in air conditioners, which bring great convenience to life.

Hu Yangji said that in 2023, Chongqing Zhongtian Electronic Waste Treatment Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Zhongjia Environmental Protection Engineering Co., Ltd., the two largest recycling enterprises of old household appliances in Chongqing, recycled 2.32 million sets of old electrical appliances. From this, he speculated that the current actual renewal in Chongqing is 4 million sets per year. If we calculate according to the life cycle of general household appliances of 8-10 years, this round of old-for-new trade-in may bring 10 million sets of replacement to Chongqing market every year.

Hu Yangji believes that last year, the municipal government invested 10 million yuan in financial subsidies, which were used up in a few days, thus boosting sales by more than 400% year-on-year. "This round of central policies has not yet come out, but we are looking forward to it. The activities organized at the government level have stronger credibility and better results than those organized by the merchants themselves. " Hu Yangji hopes that compared with last year’s subsidy of 200 million yuan in Jiangsu and 100 million yuan in Shanghai, from the perspective of Chongqing’s market size, it should at least catch up with Shanghai’s subsidy level and reach 100 million yuan.

Mo Yuanming, a researcher at the chongqing technology and business university Chengdu-Chongqing Shuangcheng Economic Circle Collaborative Development Center, believes that in recent years, both the Central Financial and Economic Committee meeting and the the State Council executive meeting have emphasized the trade-in of old products and accelerated the upgrading of products, resulting in the scale effect of upgrading. This government work report proposes to encourage and promote the trade-in of consumer goods and boost the mass consumption of intelligent networked new energy vehicles and electronic products, which is in line with the spirit of the above meeting. This series of policy measures shows that "trade-in" has become the key measure to promote the steady growth of consumption this year.

On the other hand, boosting consumption needs intelligent networking, new energy vehicles, electronic products and other large-scale consumption to drive. This means that mass consumption of intelligent networked new energy vehicles and electronic products is becoming an important thrust to stimulate consumption and expand domestic demand, and also an important engine to stimulate economic growth.

Books and Newspapers Digest, Reference News, Weekly Radio and Television, Good Friends … On two small newsstands of more than square meters, dozens of newspapers are lined up in turn, neatly stacked and colorful. Approached, the newspaper’s unique ink fragrance came to my face.

"Uncle, the evening paper hasn’t come yet. Come back later." Before the visitor with gray hair asked questions, Shen Cuifang took the lead in greeting. This old gentleman is an old customer of the newsstand, and his newspaper reading needs are well known to Shen Cuifang. After a while, two girls who looked like college students also stopped at the newsstand. "There is actually a newsstand here." They took out their mobile phones and took two photos.

On weekends, Zhou Pu’s "little shanghai Pedestrian Street" is very lively. Amid the endless stream of tourists and the shouts of shops, this newsstand on the street corner looks very quiet. Shen Cuifang, 55, has been selling newspapers here for 24 years.

In the past ten years, with the rapid development of Internet and mobile devices, new media channels are constantly expanding. In the modern society where mobile phones are gradually replacing books and newspapers, and fragmented reading is rampant, many citizens have noticed that the number of newsstands around them is decreasing, or even hard to find everywhere.Recently, the reporter visited the "rare" newsstands in the streets and alleys of Shanghai, and appreciated the long-lasting affection between people and newspapers in the changing times.

Scarce newsstands in the streets and lanes

Searching for "Shanghai Newsstand" on the Internet, the first thing that pops up is the newspaper and periodical sales department of Shanghai Post Hongkou Branch, No.529 Wusong Road. It is said that,This is one of the only newspaper outlets in Shanghai.

It’s not hard to find a salesroom. Just after turning into Wusong Road from Wujin Road, an uncle with a newspaper came face to face. Seeing that he was reading while walking, he knew that the destination was not far before the newspaper was put into the environmental protection bag he carried with him. At the door of the newspaper shop, a middle-aged man wearing a helmet is holding a copy of Oriental Sports Daily and reading it carefully. The store is not big, but it has a different world. When we entered, the first thing we saw was a counter about three meters long, with thirty or forty newspapers stacked on top of each other, such as Jiefang Daily, Wenhui Daily, titan sports, Longevity Health Daily and Happy Old Annual Report. On both sides and back of the counter, there are nearly 100 kinds of magazines and weekly magazines, and the salesroom with less than 10 square meters is full.

Master Jiang, 63, is a newspaper salesman in the retail department. According to him,There are the most complete kinds of newspapers and magazines in Shanghai, so they are favored by readers.Indeed, in just five minutes, 10 guests have come to buy newspapers. Master Jiang smiled and said, "Now is not the time for the most people."

The favor of newspapers is not only reflected in the passenger flow at home. Since the reporter entered the salesroom, Master Jiang has been leaning on the table and copying something against his mobile phone. It turns out that many old customers live far away, or their legs and feet are inconvenient, so they can’t come every day, so they subscribe to Master Jiang through WeChat. For the newspapers they like, Master Jiang is required to pack and keep them in the first issue. The bookshelf at the back of the counter exists to store readers’ subscriptions. Nearly 50 shelves are almost filled with hundreds of bundles of newspapers. "Some readers come once every ten days and a half months, but they have to take hundreds of newspapers with them every time." Master Jiang said.

As one of the few remaining Oriental newsstands on the market, Shen Cuifang’s newsstand in Zhou Pu always attracts passers-by to surprise. According to her introduction, the newsstand was opened in 1998, originally belonging to the 4050 project of the Shanghai Municipal Government. Although it has experienced wind and rain for more than 20 years, it has finally opened smoothly. Recalling the past of the newsstand, Shen Cuifang had some feelings."In the past, books and newspapers could sell hundreds of copies a day, but now they can only sell dozens of copies, and they are all bought by old readers. Many readers come to buy it every day, rain or shine, and there are always people who have a special liking for newspapers. "

On the streets of Shanghai, there are also many newsstands hidden in small shops. Passing through the intersection of Tian ‘ai Road and Tian ‘ai Branch Road in Hongkou District, it is difficult to notice the "Four Seasons Tobacco Hotel" with a facade of only 2 square meters. You need to look carefully to see the red header of "Weekly Radio and Television" behind the transparent shutter. The shop is very crowded. Next to the aisle less than 50 cm, there is a smoke and wine cabinet. On the counter, there are more than a dozen newspapers with the latest date, and there are magazines such as Readers in the corner. The number is small but the variety is comprehensive, which can be regarded as a miniature newsstand.

Xu Wenming, a 62-year-old owner of this grocery store, used to run an independent newsstand. Later, the newsstand was reduced in size and finally moved to the counter. Xu Wenming told reporters,"I stopped selling books and newspapers for a while before. Many old readers have discussed with me whether they can resume because it is difficult for them to find another newsstand. So I continued to do it. "While speaking, 82-year-old Zhao Jingxian came trembling to the door of the store. Before opening his mouth, Xu Wenming picked up a copy of "New Legend" and sent it to him. After greeting and paying, the white-haired old man walked to Hongkou Park with a newspaper in his hand. "Old people usually come to buy newspapers early in the morning and go to the nearby park to sit and read all morning." Xu Wenming said.

A newspaper reader with a long friendship

On November 5th, 48-year-old Chen Yong pushed open the door of Hongkou newspaper shop, asking for a People’s Daily on October 17th. "I finally got it together!" It turned out that Chen Yong had his own newspaper subscription at home, but he was hospitalized last month. All the newspapers were piled up in the mailbox. When he got home from the hospital, he took them and read them. He found that the issue of October 17 was missing. "I have to read the newspaper every day, and I can’t do without one issue." After looking around for a newsstand without success, he who lives in Minhang can only take the subway for an hour to Hongkou. "Fortunately, I bought it, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable and can’t sleep." Chen Yong said.

Is there any reason why you love paper newspapers so much? "It’s really convenient to read the newspaper on the mobile phone, but the font is too small, it’s not easy to save, and it’s not convenient to search for previous articles. Newspapers can be collected and turned out from time to time for repeated reading and scrutiny. There are many good articles to read. " Thought for a moment, Chen Yong added,"This is just like collecting books. Good things still want to collect physical objects, and things that are not held in your hand are always afraid of being lost."

Even after selling newspapers for more than 20 years, Shen Cuifang will still be shocked by "infatuated" readers. In her WeChat, there is an old gentleman who lives in Chuansha and has never met before. Every weekend, the old gentleman will send the newspaper list he needs to Shen Cuifang through WeChat, and ask his son to place an order for "running errands" to pick up and deliver the newspaper. In the past year, this habit has been shaken. The newspaper that originally only cost more than 10 yuan was added with the running errands fee near 40 yuan.

Since you love newspapers so much, why not subscribe to the post office? In the face of reporters’ questions, Zhao Jingxian gave reasons. First, newspapers are delivered to the mailbox under the house. If they are not taken in time, they are likely to be taken away by others. If it rains, it is even more troublesome to get wet by the rain. It is better to rest assured that the newsstand is watched. Secondly, the types that can be read every day after subscribing to newspapers are limited. It is better to come to the newsstand to browse in person and choose newspapers with their favorite content to buy, which gives you more freedom; Third, it is also a common way of life to visit newsstands and buy books and newspapers every three to five times.

However, there are fewer and fewer newsstands, which makes both newspaper readers and newspaper sellers worry. Master Jiang, who is long past retirement age, has been guarding the newspaper sales department so far."No one will take over, and once I retire, the sales department will be closed."How long will the newsstand last? Shen Cuifang doesn’t know for herself, but "one day at a time."But she is still worried that once her newsstand is closed, so many old readers should go to buy newspapers.

Unshakable value

Shen Cuifang thinks that newspapers still have unique value, otherwise, why is the special issue of Liberation Daily during the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China so popular? According to her memory, on the opening day of the 20th National Congress on October 16th, a special edition of Liberation Daily was published, which was sold out soon after it went on the market. In the following days, customers who inquired about the purchase were still in an endless stream, including many new faces."A reader saw the special issue reserved for others on my desk and actually bid 200 yuan to buy it." Shen Cuifang is a little dumbfounding. "The special issue is thick, and it is very weighty in my hand. It is really shocking, and I have left a treasure myself."

Master Jiang also noticed that newspapers will become very popular every national event. "In addition to the Twentieth National Congress, newspapers are often in short supply during the centenary of the founding of the Party, the Winter Olympics and the Expo." Master Jiang is somewhat proud."It is said that news is the manuscript of history, and collecting newspapers is equal to witnessing history."

In addition to the collection value, 50-year-old Zhu Xiaomei pays more attention to the safety of newspapers. In her view, the network environment is flooded with information, and fake news and fake popular science emerge one after another. Most middle-aged and elderly people get information through the network, which is difficult to distinguish between true and false; However, the paper media is quite different. Strict editing and authoritative endorsement ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the content.

This security is also reflected in the continuity of reading. Yang Jun, 63, was deeply touched by this. He had an operation in his early years, and his sequelae were slow movement and difficulty in self-control. When reading news on his mobile phone, he often lost the page because of improper operation, and he often felt helpless."One slip and you’ll never find it again. Watching news on mobile phones is not very friendly to the elderly. "

Is the newspaper exclusive to the elderly? Shen Cuifang was noncommittal, but whenever students from middle schools near the newsstand came to buy a newspaper, she felt that the newsstand was full of vitality. "Some students may finish the homework assigned by the teacher, but some students really love reading newspapers and have to be selective for a long time at a time."

Guo Lin subscribed to the newspaper for her 11-year-old son. In her view, this generation of children has entered the information age since birth, and the concept of paper books and newspapers is scarce.She is somewhat worried that the fragmentation of the Internet and big data algorithms will make children lose the ability to read deeply and obtain information independently."Short videos have the deepest influence, they are endless, and most of them are entertainment," she complained.

No matter how big the change is, there will always be some constant persistence. Under the internet environment, newsstands are becoming increasingly scarce, and may be "online" in other ways in the future; And those newspapers and magazines that bear social responsibility and people’s expectations still have their unique value. They are embedded in history, record the present and build the future.

From next year, imported artificial joints, cod, baby clothes, dishwashers and other medical products and consumer goods are expected to be reduced in price. On December 15th, with the approval of the State Council, the State Council Customs Tariff Commission issued a notice to adjust the import and export tariffs of some commodities in 2022.

The tariff adjustment in 2022 mainly involves the adjustment of provisional tax rate, most-favored-nation tax rate and agreed tax rate, as well as the revision of tariff and the adjustment of tax items. In addition, China will continue to implement preferential tax rates for the least developed countries.

In the adjustment of the provisional import tax rate, a series of highlights attract people’s attention. In order to reduce the economic burden of patients, zero tariff was imposed on radium chloride injection, a new anticancer drug, and the import tariff on some medical products such as intracranial embolectomy stents and artificial joints was reduced. At the same time, in order to conform to the trend of consumption upgrading, create a strong atmosphere of Beijing Winter Olympics, and reduce import tariffs on some consumer goods, including high-quality aquatic products such as salmon and cod, baby clothes, dishwashers, ski equipment, etc.

"Reducing tariffs on medical products is conducive to improving people’s health." Guang Xu Jian, a professor at Renmin University of China, said that the reduction of import tariffs on consumer goods such as cod, baby clothes and dishwashers is conducive to enriching the domestic consumer market and improving the consumption level of residents.

In order to improve environmental quality and promote green and low-carbon development, import tariffs will be reduced for gasoline engine particulate traps, electronic throttle valves for automobiles and peat that can be used for soil remediation. At the same time, it will help the manufacturing industry to optimize and upgrade, reduce import tariffs on key parts such as high purity graphite accessories, high-voltage cables for high-speed trains, membrane electrode assemblies and bipolar plates for fuel cells, and reduce import tariffs on raw materials needed by food processing, daily chemical and leather manufacturing industries such as cocoa beans, plant essential oils and animal skins. In addition, the import tariffs on resource products such as pyrite and pure potassium chloride, which are in short supply in China, will be reduced.

From July 1, 2022, China will also implement the seventh step of reducing the MFN tariff rate of products expanded by the Information Technology Agreement, involving 62 products. After the adjustment, China’s overall tariff level continued to maintain 7.4%.

In order to continuously promote high-level opening up, according to the free trade agreements and preferential trade arrangements signed between China and relevant countries or regions, some commodities originating in 29 countries or regions will be subject to agreed tax rates next year. Among them, China and New Zealand, Peru, Costa Rica, Switzerland, Iceland, South Korea, Australia, Pakistan, Georgia, Mauritius and other bilateral free trade agreements and Asia-Pacific trade agreements will further reduce taxes; The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and the China-Cambodia Free Trade Agreement will come into effect on January 1st next year, and tax reduction will be implemented.

"RCEP, as the largest free trade zone in the world, will play an important role in promoting the domestic and international double cycle in China. At the same time, the implementation of tariff concessions among members will help promote the growth of intra-regional trade and investment, enhance the level of regional economic integration in East Asia, consolidate and promote the integration of regional industrial chains, supply chains and value chains, and boost the confidence of members in post-epidemic economic growth.
