Seven business associations including the China Federation of Commerce jointly initiated: Promote the linkage of domestic and foreign trade and expand the domestic sales market
The reporter learned from the China Federation of Commerce that on the 11th, the China Federation of Commerce and seven other associations including the China Chain Business Association, China Department Stores Association, and China Culinary Association jointly issued an initiative to promote the linkage of domestic and foreign trade and expand the domestic sales market.
The initiative pointed out that recently, the US government has used tariffs as a weapon to implement extreme pressure and seek personal gain, seriously violated the rules of the World Trade Organization, seriously damaged the rules-based multilateral trading system, and seriously disrupted the global economic order. This hegemonic and bullying behavior should be severely condemned, and we firmly support all countermeasures taken by the Chinese government to safeguard national interests and corporate rights and interests. At present, it has become an urgent task to expand the domestic market, promote the coordinated development of domestic and foreign trade, and do a good job in converting export commodities into domestic sales.
In response to the difficulties that foreign trade enterprises have not yet fully established domestic sales channels, wholesale and retail enterprises such as commodity markets, department stores, supermarket chains, and e-commerce platforms will open green channels, set up domestic sales zones and counters for foreign trade products, and hold foreign trade quality exhibitions and sales activities to provide display and sales platforms for foreign trade enterprises. Enterprises in catering, hotel and other industries will give priority to purchasing equipment and facilities that meet standards, foreign trade food, tableware, wine utensils and hotel supplies, etc., to broaden the domestic sales channels for foreign trade products. At the same time, enterprises are encouraged to use their own channel advantages to carry out online and offline promotional activities.
