On January 29th, car home (ATHM) fell 2.18% in intraday trading to 24.65 USD/share at 23:18, with a turnover of 750,400 USD.

According to financial data, as of September 30, 2023, car home’s total revenue was 5.273 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.46%; The net profit of returning to the mother was 1.489 billion yuan, up 18.04% year-on-year.

Important reminder:

On February 6th, car home will disclose its annual report for fiscal year 2023 before the market closes.

　　The industry believes that a consumption tax on luxury cars in the retail sector will not only reasonably guide consumption, but also increase fiscal revenue.

　　The Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued a notice yesterday, saying that in order to guide rational consumption and promote energy conservation and emission reduction, with the approval of the State Council, consumption tax will be imposed on ultra-luxury cars. This regulation will be implemented as of December 1, 2016.

　　Tax will be increased by 10% on the sales of ultra-luxury cars.

　　The notice pointed out that the sub-tax item of "super luxury cars" will be added under the tax item of "cars". The scope of collection is passenger cars and light commercial buses with a retail price of 1.3 million yuan (excluding value-added tax) and above, that is, ultra-luxury cars in the sub-tax items of passenger cars and light commercial buses. For ultra-luxury cars, on the basis of the consumption tax levied at the current tax rate in the production (import) link, the consumption tax is levied at the retail link, and the tax rate is 10%. The notice makes it clear that the units and individuals that sell ultra-luxury cars to consumers are taxpayers in the retail link of ultra-luxury cars.

　　10% consumption tax will not be levied on the sold vehicles for filing within 5 days.

　　For distribution channels, will the vehicles that have signed automobile sales contracts before November 30 be affected by the adjustment of the consumption tax on ultra-luxury cars? It is understood that for ultra-luxury cars that have signed automobile sales contracts before November 30 (inclusive), but have not delivered the real thing, taxpayers will file the signed automobile sales contracts with their competent tax authorities within 5 working days from December 1 (inclusive). According to the notice information, the retail consumption tax with the tax rate of 10% will not be levied for those who are filed according to the regulations, and the retail consumption tax will be levied if they are not filed and not filed within the prescribed time limit.

　　It is difficult to manage the tax after tax collection.

　　According to the information, when the consumption tax was implemented in 1994, it included automobile tax items. In the consumption tax reform in 2006, the automobile consumption tax was adjusted. It is understood that the current car tax items are divided into two categories: passenger cars and medium and light commercial buses. Among them, the larger the cylinder capacity of passenger cars, the higher the tax rate of consumption tax, and the tax rate ranges from 1% to 40%. Passenger cars with a cylinder capacity of more than 4 liters will be subject to a consumption tax rate of up to 40%. The consumption tax rate of 5% is applicable to medium and light commercial buses. The taxation link is in the production and import links.

　　According to industry analysts, a consumption tax will be levied on luxury cars in the retail sector, with the aim of reasonably guiding consumption and increasing fiscal revenue.

　　"The consumption tax collection link is changed to the retail link. The advantage is that the final selling price of goods can be taxed, and the tax base is obviously expanded, which can increase fiscal revenue and reasonably guide consumption, but the challenge is that the collection and management are difficult." The above analysis pointed out that the relevant departments took luxury cars as a breakthrough and imposed a consumption tax on the retail sector, which is also based on the fact that there are not many 4S retail stores in China compared with retail stores such as tobacco and alcohol, and it is relatively easy to control. This will provide experience for the next stage of other tax items to move back.

　　The actual impact on car buyers will not be great.

　　At present, the models with more than 1.3 million yuan are basically ultra-luxury car brands such as Bentley, Maserati and Porsche. In addition, some brands such as BMW X6, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz GL Series and Audi A8 have reached this level. Therefore, the influence of the new consumption tax policy is relatively small and fixed. But at present, it should not have much impact on the sales in this market.

　　China’s automobile consumption tax was established in 1994, and the latest automobile consumption tax reform was in 2008. The tax rate for passenge cars with displacement of 3.0L to 4.0L is raise from 15% to 25%, and that for passenger cars with displacement of 4.0L is raised to 40%. Reduce the consumption tax rate of small-displacement passenger cars, and reduce the tax rate from 3% to 1% for passenger cars with displacement below 1.0L This time, the tax rate will be increased by 10% for ultra-luxury cars with a price of more than 1.3 million yuan. This adjustment mainly affects the sales of imported vehicles.

　　According to the previous consumption tax policy, the tax rate of ultra-luxury cars is basically 40% high-end. Compared with the consumption tax of 40%, the current 25% tariff and 17% value-added tax have become small heads, so for luxury cars with a price of several million yuan, the consumption tax itself is an important factor to increase the difference between domestic and foreign car prices. Judging from the new policy introduced this time, an additional 10% consumption tax will be imposed on ultra-luxury cars with a price of more than 1.3 million yuan, which will not have a great impact on car buyers. In fact, many 4S shops will basically increase the price of ultra-luxury cars by 100 thousand to several hundred thousand yuan above the manufacturer’s guide price before they can pick up the car, and most car buyers also acquiesce to this.

　　Whether the purchase tax on small-displacement vehicles will continue to be halved is inconclusive.

　　In fact, in the automobile consumption, there is also an essential expenditure, which is the purchase tax. China’s automobile purchase tax rate is set at 10%, which accounts for a large proportion in the cost of car purchase. However, at present, China has adopted a preferential policy of halving the purchase tax for small-displacement vehicles of 1.6 liters or less, that is, it is levied at 5% of the vehicle price, which has played a significant role in promoting the consumption of small-displacement vehicles.

　　The preferential policy of halving the purchase tax on small-displacement vehicles has been implemented since October 1, 2015. According to the plan at that time, the policy will expire on December 31, 2016, which means that there is still a whole month left. Up to now, there is no official explanation on whether the preferential policy of halving the purchase tax will continue, and more is speculation from outside. It is also reported that various departments at the government level have different opinions on whether to continue this policy. Earlier, some media reported that on November 1, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Finance and other ministries and commissions held departmental meetings to study whether to continue this policy, but no news came out since then.

　　The data shows that the prices of 1.6-liter and below displacement models are mostly concentrated below 200,000 yuan. According to the current preferential policies, the purchase tax for bicycles ranges from 3,000 to 10,000 yuan. Once this policy is cancelled next year, it is likely to drive the sales ratio of models above 1.6 liters to increase in a short time. According to the data of China Automobile Association, in 2015, the sales of passenger cars of 1.6 liters and below reached 14,508,600, an increase of 10.38% over the same period of last year, which was higher than the overall growth rate of passenger cars and accounted for 68.6% of the sales of passenger cars.

Waiting for the "reunion dinner" in spring

Wei Li

The reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve is also called reunion dinner, which means family reunion, happiness and auspiciousness. During the interview against COVID-19 epidemic this year, the author heard that an old father suffering from cancer and his three sons who were in traffic law enforcement posts had a reunion dinner that was postponed again and again, waiting for the spring dinner. After many twists and turns, I found the client.

Du Hongping, Du Taoping and Du Jiangping are all traffic law enforcement officers, and their parents are also retired employees of Liangping traffic system, which can be described as a typical "second generation".

The eldest Du Hongping and the second Du Taoping worked in Liangping, and the third Du Jiangping was transferred to the high-speed law enforcement department in 2014. As traffic law enforcement officers, Spring Festival and Spring Festival travel rush are the busiest times for the three brothers. But according to tradition, every year on New Year’s Eve, the family will try their best to get together and have a lively reunion dinner.

Different from previous years, my 81-year-old father has been suffering from lung cancer for many years, and he has been treated with chemotherapy three times before and after, and his health is getting worse. The three brothers privately agreed that this year’s Spring Festival reunion dinner must bring together all the family members, old and young, with no one missing, and take a family photo to make the old father on his deathbed happy for one year.

"The plan is at six o’clock in the evening, and everyone will have a reunion dinner together after the third child comes back. Because my father is so old, plus it is terminal cancer, it may be the last reunion dinner. " Boss Du Hongping said.

Just as my mother was preparing the ingredients for the New Year’s Eve dinner, Du Jiangping, the third son of the law enforcement brigade in Chongqing’s main city, told everyone that she would be on duty on New Year’s Eve and suggested that the time for the New Year’s Eve dinner should be adjusted to the second day of the first month …

Everyone thinks it is ok to postpone it for two days, as long as the family can be reunited and have a sense of ceremony during the Spring Festival to meet the wishes of the elderly.

In order to prepare for this postponed reunion dinner, my father specially arranged for my mother to cook dried pig’s feet in advance and buy Liangping’s special product "Daoer Mie" braised dishes, so that my children and grandchildren can get together and feel the warmth of the big family. The second child Du Taoping also arranged for his wife and daughter to go to the supermarket on the first day of the first month to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.

At noon on the second day of the first month, Du Jiangping, the third son, hurriedly drove back to Liang Ping’s hometown from the main city of Chongqing after work. Just when I arrived at the stairs of the traffic family home where my parents lived, a phone call stopped Du Jiangping and he was in a dilemma. The phone call was made by a colleague from the company-due to the severe epidemic situation in COVID-19, all people on leave are required to return to their posts immediately!

"It is complicated to get this notice, because my father’s condition is getting worse and worse, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to reunite. Returning to work immediately means that this reunion dinner has to be given up again."

Colleagues also kindly reminded Du Jiangping that due to the complicated identity of the people who came into contact during work, they must be disinfected before meeting their parents, so as to be careful to infect their families.

After much consideration, Du Jiangping informed his eldest brother at home to come downstairs, handed over the honey, cereal and other gifts he bought back to his father, and decided to return to work in the main city of Chongqing immediately.

"Just as I turned around, I heard a familiar voice-my mother shouted my nickname on the balcony on the third floor and told me to pay attention to safety and wear a mask during work. At this point, my heart is particularly sad, and my eyes are full of tears … "

In this way, the Dujia reunion dinner, which was originally postponed, can only be postponed for another time …

Among the three brothers, Du Jiangping, the third, spends the least time with his father. "When I was young, my father was a soldier and I was at home. When I grew up, my father was at home and I went to be a soldier again. Later, I went to work in high-speed law enforcement, and I always lacked companionship with my parents. Due to busy work, the last time I went home was more than two months ago. "

In Du Jiangping’s eyes, the father of a military background is particularly strict with the three brothers. He is often taught that a soldier will not fade after he leaves the army, and he should always keep his true colors as a soldier. Over the years, the three brothers have kept in mind their father’s teachings and worked hard to do their own jobs, all of which have become the backbone of the unit.

Although the epidemic delayed this "reunion dinner", the father in the hospital bed often called the three brothers who fought in the front line of the epidemic and told them to pay attention to their health and take precautions.

In the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic, Du Hongping, the boss, is the head of Yunlong exit traffic health quarantine station of G42 Chongqing-Yichang Expressway. "Commanding more than 1,000 cars to pull over every day during the rush hour means making thousands of gestures. When eating after work, it is difficult to hold the chopsticks steadily and it hurts all over."

Du Taoping, the second child, is guarding the card at Qixing Station of X116 Line adjacent to Guanyin Town, Dazhu, Sichuan. When he returns to the unit, he must do a good job in ensuring the supply of rice bags, vegetable baskets, meat plates and fruit plates in the city and the normal agricultural production.

At the Dawan Toll Station in Yubei District, Chongqing-adjacent section of G65 Baomao Expressway, I found the third Du Jiangping who was inspecting the vehicle. Du Jiangping’s brigade is the third brigade of Chongqing Traffic Administrative Law Enforcement Corps Expressway. During the duty, be responsible for patrolling the 101-kilometer-long road surface in the jurisdiction and handling emergencies. Referring to this postponed reunion dinner, Du Jiangping choked several times: "When I was a teenager, my father sheltered me from the wind and rain and raised me to grow up; When my father is old, I can’t be filial before bed and accompany him. I only hope that this epidemic will end as soon as possible, and the family will take a family photo and have a reunion dinner. "

There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only mortals who stand up. It is these countless "retrograde people" who, regardless of holidays or during the epidemic, give up their small families for everyone, keep one side safe, and protect the stability of a city, in exchange for peace in the world and good years.

We also expect that this postponed "reunion dinner" will open as scheduled in the flowers and spring breeze.

Today (13th), the State Council released the Implementation Plan for Special Remediation of Internet Financial Risks. Comprehensive arrangements were made for the special rectification of Internet financial risks. This move means that the official "sword" refers to the internet financial risks, sets a "military order" and sets a "timetable".

The plan calls for the completion of the special rectification of Internet financial risks by the end of March next year, and the key rectification areas include:

P2P peer-to-peer lending and Equity Crowdfunding Business

Asset management and cross-border financial business through the Internet.

Third-party payment service

Advertising in the field of internet finance

The goal is to form an overall report on Internet finance rectification in China, and establish and improve a long-term mechanism for Internet finance supervision.

In addition, the following five documents were released today:

The People’s Bank of China and other 17 ministries and commissions "Implementation Plan for Asset Management through the Internet and Special Remediation of Cross-border Financial Business Risks";

The People’s Bank of China and other 14 ministries and commissions "Implementation Plan for Special Remediation of Risks of Non-bank Payment Institutions";

CBRC’s Implementation Plan for P2P peer-to-peer lending Risk Special Remediation Work.

China Insurance Regulatory Commission and other 15 ministries and commissions "Implementation Plan for Special Remediation of Internet Insurance Risks".

The CSRC and other 15 ministries and commissions "Implementation Plan for Special Remediation of Equity Crowdfunding Risks"

Specifically:

For P2P platform: no fund pool can be set up.

The "Program" stipulates that:

P2P peer-to-peer lending Platform should keep the legal bottom line and policy red line, implement the nature of information intermediary, and shall not set up a fund pool, issue loans or illegally raise funds.

Interpretation:

Wang Yahong, an expert on financial issues:In recent years, after the incidents such as Easy Rent Bao and Pan Asia Institute, Internet finance has not had time to develop and show its inclusive side, and it has prematurely assumed a disgraceful reputation. Strict supervision of P2P industry is conducive to the healthy and orderly development of Internet finance, and it is necessary and timely to carry out special rectification.

For the equity crowdfunding business: no false targets shall be published, and no self-financing shall be allowed.

The State Council’s "Program" stipulates that:

The equity crowdfunding platform shall not publish false targets, raise funds by itself, or raise funds in disguised form. It shall strengthen the information disclosure obligations and shareholders’ rights protection requirements for financiers and equity crowdfunding platforms, and shall not make false statements and misleading propaganda.

Interpretation:

After the publication of the Administrative Measures for Private Equity Crowdfunding (Trial) (Draft for Comment) in December 2014, there was no formal policy for equity crowdfunding since then, and the supervision was backward. This time, the State Council’s notice may have pointed out the key supervision direction in the future.

For real estate finance: it is forbidden to make down payment and standardize crowdfunding to buy a house.

The "Program" stipulates that:

Real estate development enterprises, real estate intermediaries and internet finance institutions shall not engage in real estate finance business by using P2P peer-to-peer lending platform and equity crowdfunding platform without obtaining relevant financial qualifications; Standardize internet "crowdfunding to buy a house" and other behaviors, and prohibit all kinds of institutions from carrying out "down payment" business.

Interpretation:

Under the background of tightening regulation of the property market, it is strictly forbidden to leverage the property market through black-box operations such as crowdfunding to buy a house and down payment.

For Internet companies to engage in cross-border financial business: they should obtain qualifications.

The "Program" stipulates that:

Internet enterprises shall not rely on the Internet to carry out corresponding business without obtaining relevant financial business qualifications, and the essence of conducting business shall conform to the obtained business qualifications.

Without the approval of the relevant departments, many kinds of financial products issued by private placement may not be sold to the public through packaging or splitting.

Interpretation:

Seventeen ministries and commissions, including the central bank, issued the "Implementation Plan for Special Remediation of Asset Management and Cross-border Financial Business Risks through the Internet", proposing that the key points of remediation include: all kinds of Internet enterprises with asset management-related business qualifications but irregular business; All kinds of internet enterprises that carry out financial services such as asset management across borders; Internet enterprises with a number of financial business qualifications and obvious comprehensive operating characteristics.

For third-party payment services: no unlicensed operation is allowed.

In answering a reporter’s question, the leading group for special rectification of Internet financial risks pointed out:

The rectification in the field of third-party payment focuses on the risk of non-bank payment institutions’ reserve funds, inter-agency clearing business, and unlicensed payment business. The third-party payment field has implemented business licenses, and special rectification work will be carried out for institutions that operate payment business without licenses.

Interpretation:

Zhao Wei, Deputy Secretary General of Financial Innovation and Internet Finance Legal Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law:

In recent years, the third-party payment industry has developed rapidly. Non-bank payment institutions have played a positive role in promoting the innovation of payment services and improving and upgrading the level of payment services. However, some problems have also been exposed in its rapid development, especially some payment institutions and even commercial banks have opened payment channels to institutions and personnel engaged in payment business without permission, providing payment convenience, which has caused many cases of infringing on customers’ rights and disrupting financial order.

From the characteristics of the risk events and cases that have occurred, the payment business without a license mainly involves: First, the core business of acquiring bank cards without a license, such as "second clearing". The second is to operate online payment services without a license, such as "big merchant settlement" and electronic wallets that open payment accounts. The third is the issuance and acceptance of multi-purpose prepaid cards without a license.

From the perspective of social harm, the harm of unlicensed payment business is becoming more and more serious. The first is to endanger the safety of customers’ funds and seriously infringe on consumers’ rights and interests. Secondly, it endangers the security of payment information and encourages criminal behavior. Finally, it endangers the market operation order and has no bottom line competition. It has seriously disrupted the market operation order and endangered the safe and steady operation of the payment service market.

Therefore, the just released "Implementation Plan for Special Remediation of Risks of Non-bank Payment Institutions" has made it clear that the rectification of unlicensed payment business should be included in the special rectification of risks of non-bank payment institutions, and all relevant cooperative departments should clarify their responsibilities and determine the time plan, so as to complete centralized cleaning and disposal before the end of November 2016. The "Proposal" also emphasizes the need to promote the establishment of a working mechanism for the normalization and rectification of unlicensed payment services. Only by increasing punishment and forming a long-term system and long-term measures can we completely eliminate the "black sheep" and maintain the healthy development of the payment service market.

Cctv review

Special rectification is an important step to gradually improve the Internet financial supervision system. Internet finance is a new thing, and the deep integration of Internet and finance is also the general trend, which will have a more profound impact on financial products, business scope, organizational structure and service forms. However, the old financial supervision mechanism has lagged behind the development of internet finance in many aspects, so there are many loopholes in practice. On the other hand, the complex structure of Internet finance projects also increases the difficulty of supervision in reality.

The special rectification work is to check and fill the gaps in a targeted manner, further clarify the risk bottom line of Internet finance, protect legal operations, and resolutely crack down on illegal and illegal activities. This means that we can take an important step in gradually improving the supervision of financial Internet financiers, and on this basis, we can further standardize the development of Internet finance, maintain market stability, and effectively protect the interests of market participants.

As a new thing, the development of Internet finance needs not only market-driven, but also technological innovation and policy-standardized development. These are the three pillars supporting the development of Internet finance. Only when the pillars are more stable can Internet finance develop more rapidly in the future and have the opportunity to fully demonstrate its unique charm of innovation and inclusiveness.

1905 movie network news A few days ago, I specially wore a Xinjiang cotton when attending the event. In the interview, the host asked Ceng Li what he thought of the title of 200-year-old beauty in Chinese opera. Ceng Li said with high emotional intelligence: "It’s not as good as Xinjiang cotton in my hand." I also posted a photo of myself wearing Xinjiang cotton on Weibo, with the caption "I love my China cotton and I support Xinjiang cotton". Who wouldn’t love such a beautiful woman with a high emotional intelligence and a good outlook on the third year? Give Ceng Li a compliment.

In addition to Ceng Li, there are many star artists who express their support for Xinjiang cotton in their own way: directly removing the products of the enterprises involved, and going to Xinjiang to bring goods to Xinjiang cotton live broadcast; Teachers write poems to support Xinjiang cotton. However, because of Xinjiang cotton, a series of events with high attention and influence have been triggered. The most striking thing is that many brand spokespersons have issued statements of understanding with these brands that don’t respect our country.

"The attitude of artists in China actually represents our own attitude. In the face of this choice of right and wrong, each of us in China is actually with the country, and in this matter, we can see that artists, as far as our artists are concerned, have actually promoted the sustained attention of ordinary people to this matter, so it has formed a joint force of the whole country." Dr Diao Jinuo, a civil scholar from Tsinghua University who was a guest in "The Movie", also spoke highly of the decisiveness of these famous artists.

These domineering star artists really make us feel relieved and happy, but when the incident is fermented, we can’t help but worry that these star artists will be asked for high liquidated damages by these brands. Therefore, we invited the director of Beijing Taoan Law Firm, the chief legal adviser of the Actor Brokers Committee of China Performance Industry Association, and lawyer Wang Jun to answer our questions.

"If the brand violates China’s national interests, sovereign interests and political stance, the artist can of course put forward a unilateral right to terminate the contract based on the terms of the contract without any liability for compensation, and may even pursue the corresponding legal responsibility from the brand based on this clause."

I hope that our artists will not suffer losses because of the evil deeds of these brands, and I hope that our artists will keep their eyes open when endorsing brands in the future, and be careful, careful and careful in the terms of the contract! As an artist, we also need to protect our own vital interests, and we must be more careful when conducting commercial endorsement activities. Today’s Film Review also invited Mr. Zhang Zhipeng, Secretary General of the Advertising Spokesperson Committee of China Advertising Association, to give some suggestions.

"I think when they do business endorsements in the future, they should do something before, during and after signing the contract. For example, before signing the contract, they should conduct a background check on the other company, including the management of the company. The other is that after we sign the contract, we should not take it lightly and maintain smooth communication with these advertisers and enterprises."

As the saying goes, it’s necessary to have the heart to harm others and the heart to prevent others, especially in the choice of brand endorsement. We must be cautious, because celebrity artists choose endorsement not for products, but for the concept and style of this brand. Recently, Yang Li has experienced the time of endorsement rollover, so it is very important for a celebrity artist to choose a brand image that suits him.

On the other hand, we have to nip in the bud. I don’t know which brands will make these artists trample on thunder for no reason in the future. To this end, Professor Zhang also proposed a solution. "Can we be a red and black list of international brands, and the country or an association will come forward to do a relatively authoritative survey to help our artists plan?"

In any case, star artists should be supported and respected for the sake of national interests and national dignity. In the long run, even if they pay some price, it is worthwhile. We should not only support the stars to cancel their contracts morally, but also take actions to support them. If enterprises can invite these stars to speak for them, it is also the best response to these enterprises that insult China. For example, in the near future, we saw the official announcement of cooperation with Li Ning.

"I think this is a very good phenomenon. First of all, the strength and influence of our country’s own brands and national brands have been greatly improved. Second, the brand concept just mentioned by the professor is very critical. When we cooperate, it is not only a business behavior, but also a process of common growth."

Star artists, as a public group with extensive attention in society, will have a great influence on social values, so they should always focus on major issues and stand firm in order to set a correct example. "Traffic is a kind of social responsibility. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Since there is traffic, you must bear the weight of this society, so we are also looking forward to it. Our stars can really shoulder their social responsibilities."

　　Xinhua News Agency, Hangzhou, September 1st Title: The implementation of the new national standard of "slimming" packaging says "no" to excessive packaging of tea!

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Natalie

　　The newly revised Food and Cosmetics for Restricting Overpackaging of Commodities (hereinafter referred to as the new national standard) came into effect on September 1, which means that there are new restrictions on the packaging of food and cosmetics, including tea.

　　The reporter learned that since April this year, various localities have continuously promoted the special treatment of tea over-packaging, and the industry has paid more attention to the problem of over-packaging. After the tea packaging was "lightly packed", the "burden" of tea enterprises was reduced, and consumers were much more affordable.

　　Say "No" to the over-packaging of tea.

　　"Two ounces of tea, two pounds of packaging", in the actual sales process of tea products, many merchants often use their brains on tea packaging in order to "create greater economic value", and the resulting over-packaging problem once became a normal state. According to the survey report released by China Consumers Association in March this year, over 80% of consumers are against over-packaging.

　　The picture shows an over-packaged tea investigated by Hangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Administration in May this year. This tea package with a net content of 50g tea has a void ratio of 72%, which does not meet the new national standard. (Photo courtesy of Hangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Administration)

　　"Many consumers spend about 150 yuan on buying tea, and some tea packaging costs are 100 yuan." Xu Rongbing, the person in charge of Hangzhou Yuhang Tianlong Tea Co., Ltd., said frankly that some consumers buy tea to give gifts, thinking that the more exquisite the packaging of the gift box, the more decent the gift.

　　Aiming at the problem of over-packaging, the new national standard clearly stipulates the number of packaging layers, packaging cost and void ratio of 31 kinds of food and 16 kinds of cosmetics, including tea.

　　"According to the new standard, tea packaging cannot exceed four layers, and the packaging cost is less than or equal to 20% of the overall selling price." Jie Yu, head of the quality inspection team of Hangzhou Municipal Market Supervision Administration, said that the standard also specified the package void ratio in detail according to the net content of a single item in the package. "For example, if the net content of a can of tea is more than 50 grams, the pot of tea will be packed in a box, and the void ratio of this box will be less than or equal to 30%."

　　On August 29th, the reporter photographed the Zhejiang Xinchang Giant Buddha Longjing packaging in a merchant in Jiangnan tea market. The 125g tea was sealed in an aluminum foil bag in an iron box, which was introduced by the local market supervision department to meet the new national standard. Xinhua News Agency reporter Natalie photo

　　At the same time, the No.2 revision of the national standard "Restrict the over-packaging of commodities and require food and cosmetics" is seeking opinions from the society, including "reducing the number of packaging layers from no more than four to no more than three" and "reducing the proportion of packaging cost to sales price from 20% to 15%", etc. These adjustments have undergone rigorous market research and demonstration.

　　"The mainstream packaging of tea products in the market is two-tier and three-tier, and the three-tier packaging can fully meet the necessary functional needs of tea protection, display, storage and transportation." Wei Hong, deputy director of the Department of Standards and Technology Management of the General Administration of Market Supervision, said that the survey found that nearly 90% of the product packaging cost was below 15% of the total cost, and the average packaging cost accounted for 7.9%, so there was room for further reduction.

　　Since April this year, investigations have been carried out in many places. Up to now, Zhejiang has dispatched 23,000 law enforcement personnel, seized and detained 15,900 illegal packages, and corrected and investigated 548 problems such as excessive packaging of tea; Fujian interviewed local e-commerce 22 times and issued 155 rectification notices; Sichuan carried out 2,705 law enforcement popularization, issued 4,748 public service advertisements against over-packaging, and enterprises signed 1,715 letters of commitment.

　　"China is a big tea country, and its planting scale, total output and consumption rank first in the world. There are nearly 1.55 million tea production and operation entities in the whole industry. " Shen Weiwei, deputy supervisor of China Tea Circulation Association, said that since the special treatment of tea over-packaging was carried out, the whole industry has attached great importance to the problem of over-packaging, and enterprises’ active rectification has been speeding up.

　　What new changes have been brought about by the "slimming" of packaging?

　　What new changes will the implementation of the new national standard of "slimming" packaging bring to the industry, consumers and regulatory authorities?

　　— — Tea packaging is "going into battle lightly". Jiangnan tea market is the largest tea distribution base in Hangzhou, and tea buyers come here in an endless stream every day. The reporter walked into the market a few days ago and saw that there were all kinds of packaged tea in the shops on the first floor, mostly in bulk, paper packaging, tin can packaging and gift box packaging, and the packaging layers were all within three floors. Open a tea product named "Laoshu Longjing Gift Box". There are two cans of tea in a book-sized paper gift box. According to the local market supervision department, this product meets the requirements of the new national standard.

　　— — The "burden" of enterprises is smaller, and consumers are much more affordable. Chen Ruihong, the head of a tea enterprise, believes that the rectification of over-packaging is of great benefit to the high-quality development of the industry. This allows enterprises to return their attention to the quality of tea itself, instead of using packaging to attract consumers and form healthy competition. "We will now integrate more Chinese style elements into tea packaging to make the packaging more cultural."

　　Liao Changyou, the person in charge of Jiangnan tea market, said that taking Jingshan tea in Yuhang, Hangzhou as an example, the packaging cost used to be 50-60 yuan, but now as long as it is around 20 yuan, the product price will also drop after the packaging price drops.

　　— — Online and offline joint efforts, supervision to improve energy and efficiency. In view of the characteristics of many e-commerce platforms and active tea trading, the Beijing Municipal Market Supervision Administration concentrated on interviewing platform enterprises such as JD.COM, Meituan and Tik Tok to guide enterprises to strengthen the internal audit of commodity packaging; Relying on the platform economy digital supervision system "Zhejiang Fair Online", Zhejiang Market Supervision Administration established the "Online Monitoring Model of Tea Overpackaging" to monitor 30 e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, JD.COM and Pinduoduo, covering 13,000 online stores and 163,000 product information.

　　Let the packaging "simple style" fall into practice

　　Excessive packaging of tea is easy to cause waste of resources and environmental pollution, and many tea gift boxes are difficult to be reused, and are often easily discarded as domestic garbage. The implementation of the new national standard will make low-carbon environmental protection deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Respondents believe that the "simple style" of packaging is not a gust of wind, but a multi-pronged approach should be taken to prevent the problem from rebounding.

　　Wei Saiming, chairman of the Technical Committee of China Tea Co., Ltd., believes that the new national standard has a very important guiding role in regulating and leading the healthy development of the tea industry, building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society, and accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation.

　　The reporter learned that Zhejiang issued the "Operational Guidelines for the Banned Catalogue of Tea Overpackaging Network in the Province" to urge the e-commerce platform to strengthen the packaging compliance audit of operators in the platform. For example, Taobao and Tmall have dynamically monitored and evaluated online product compliance and business rectification effect, and banned the sale of 39 kinds of over-packaged tea products.

　　In Fan Ziwei’s view, the innovation of packaging is also very important. The Federation uses platforms such as packaging industry science and technology awards and R&D centers to promote packaging enterprises to use renewable materials, degradable materials and recyclable materials to develop more environmentally friendly packaging methods.

　　However, there are still some regulatory difficulties in tea over-packaging. Some consumers will buy tea gift boxes with "exquisite" packaging through workshops and farmers, and regard packaging as "face", and the consumption concept has not completely changed; In order to avoid supervision, some tea operators conduct online transactions through live broadcast, Wechat business and other forms, which is more concealed.

　　The market supervision departments in Jiangsu, Fujian, Anhui, Sichuan and other places said that in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, the work arrangements for law enforcement inspection before and during the festival will be made in advance, the circulation links will be closely watched, the management of commodity packaging will be strictly enforced, and administrative law enforcement will be strengthened to continuously consolidate the governance results.
