.On September 20, Fan Wubing and Shen Ying flew from Sydney to Wellington, New Zealand. Here they were reuniting with the Chinese delegation.

This is also the first time that China's national first visit to New Zealand, so the other party's reception specifications are the highest. Obviously, New Zealand attaches great importance to this visit.

Fan Wubing and Shen Ying appeared in the team of the visiting team as representatives of the industry and business circles. Their appearance also attracted high attention from the media. After all, their previous weddings were shocking, and their identities were also heavyweight, so they naturally stole a lot of shots, especially foreign and Hong Kong and Taiwan media followed them.

New Zealand is also a Commonwealth country, facing Australia across the Tasman Sea in the west, and Tonga and Fiji in the north. New Zealand is composed of the North Island, the South Island, Stewart Island and some nearby islands, with an area of ​​more than 270,000 square kilometers and an exclusive economic zone of 1.2 million square kilometers.

New Zealand is known for its "green". Although it is mountainous, it has a temperate marine climate, with a small temperature difference in all seasons, and the plant growth is very lush, with a forest coverage rate of 30%. Natural pastures or farms account for half of the land area. The vast forests and pastures make New Zealand a veritable green kingdom.

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

The first peak of the North Island, the Ruapehu Volcano, is nearly 2,800 meters high. On the volcano is Lake Taupo, the largest lake in New Zealand, with an area of ​​more than 600 square kilometers. On the South Island, there is Mount Cook, the country's first peak. Franz, Joseph and Fuchs Glaciers in the Alps, are the lowest altitude glaciers in the world. There are a series of glacier lakes outside the mountain, and the drop of Sutherland Falls is 580 meters, ranking among the forefront in the world.

When we were at the airport, the entire delegation was welcomed to visit, and the Maori dance was first.

The Maori were the first residents of New Zealand. In the 14th century AD, the Maori came to New Zealand from Polynesia to settle and became the earliest residents of New Zealand. In 1840, Britain forced the Maori chief to sign the Treaty of Wittanzhe, which included the land in the territory of the British Empire. New Zealand gained complete autonomy in 1947, but was still a member of the Commonwealth.

The Maori people have a long history and splendid culture. Their carving art skills are superb, from the eaves to the small canes. Their dance is unique, with bright ethnic costumes, beautiful garlands, green jade hanging on their necks and tundra skirts tied on their waists fully demonstrating the unique ethnic style of the Maori people. The Maori welcome dance is the highest etiquette for New Zealand to welcome VIPs.

It is very special for New Zealand Maori to welcome guests. There is a family-style welcome ceremony. At the beginning, the venue was silent. Men and women lined up neatly on both sides. After a long period of silence, a middle-aged man with barefoot suddenly walked out. He shouted loudly and then sang loudly. As soon as the song fell, the young girls danced gracefully, and the people around him sang in a low voice. After the song stopped, they came over to celebrate the nose with the guests. The tip of the nose was against the tip of the nose, and they touched each other three times, and the welcome was to enter **.

Another type is a challenge welcome ceremony. All the welcomers are dressed up in national costumes, wearing bare feet, wearing grass skirts, and painting faces on their faces. Holding a spear, shouting, and waving towards the guests, sticking out their tongues from time to time. When approaching the guests, throw a sword or green branches on the ground. At this time, the guests must pick it up and hold it respectfully until the other party finishes dancing and then return it with both hands. This is the oldest welcome and the most solemn.

This time, New Zealand welcomes visitors to the No. 1 and other visitors, this challenging welcome ceremony. Fan Wubing and Shen Ying watched Maori singing and dancing in the welcome queue. They both felt it was very interesting and sighed that this trip was not wasted.

There are about 400,000 Maori people in New Zealand. Their skin is slightly brown. Fortunately, the British immigrants and their descendants who came here showed mercy, which prevented the Maori people from New Zealand from being killed in large numbers like the Australian indigenous people. In the contemporary era, Maori people have already had good living conditions.

After the welcoming ceremony, both sides made brief comments to the media at the airport, and then drove to the Prime Minister's residence, probably to attend a cocktail party, and then it was the turn to discuss things.

There are many people attending cocktail parties, but Westerners' cocktail parties are generally not as luxurious as oriental. They are more like buffets, but there are more drinks and drinks, and there are more foods to eat. Rather than eating, it is better to say that they are giving everyone an opportunity to get to know each other.

Fan Wubing and Shen Ying were greeted with a lot of warm greetings along the way. Many people came to take photos with them, and media reporters followed them like tails and refused to leave for a moment.

"It makes people feel very painful when you do this." Fan Wubing held a glass of red wine and hugged Shen Ying's waist. While walking, he said to the reporters beside him with some distress, "Please give us some private space? Besides, there are so many snacks, fruits, and seafood on the table next to him. Wouldn't you feel very regretful if you don't eat a little?"

"It is a pity that you can't catch the news. The food is the same as us. There is no problem going back to the hotel to eat instant noodles." The reporter who had been following them was shameless and refused to leave.

But even though they say that, they are not fools. When they take time, they will grab a string of food from the table next to them and fill it into their mouths.

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

Fan Wubing simply ran over to get a plate, picked up a lot of food, brought a bottle of red wine, and the two of them sat here and started eating.

"It doesn't seem to be a good idea to do this. When people see it, they think we are so hungry that we are touching our backs." Shen Ying turned her head and asked Fan Wubing.

"What's that?" Fan Wubing's mouth was stuffed with a piece of snack and said to Shen Ying indifferently. "Actually, Westerners pay the most attention to actual needs. You do whatever you want without any scruples. This is in line with their views. We have no need to care about what they will think. This is the principle of dealing with Westerners."

Although Shen Ying lived in Germany for a while to learn manufacturing art and also played in European countries for a while, she always had servants around her and didn't need to worry about other things, so she was not very clear about this. At this time, after hearing Fan Wubing's words, she felt something was right.

"What do you think is the purpose of visiting New Zealand this time?" Shen Ying asked Fan Wubing, "A country with a population of only four million is worth a big country in person?"

Fan Wubing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, of course it is unlikely that it is just a visit, or there are some interest entanglements hidden behind it. I guess it is probably related to international relations."

"What connection? Hasn't your relationship with the United States eased recently?" Shen Ying asked curiously.

"Haha. The United States is not the only country in the world that needs to be dealt with-" Fan Wubing said with a smile, "It may be related to China's market economy status, and I don't say it exactly."

"State of market economy?" Shen Ying was a little puzzled when she heard this. She was not very concerned about these things.

In the past nearly ten years, although China has made important progress in establishing a market economic system, many Western countries, including the United States and the European Union, have not officially recognized China as a market economic country. The resulting series of adverse effects have become a weakness for China to exhibit foreign trade.

The market economy status has become an important influencing factor in China's response to anti-dumping. Since it has not received the treatment of market economy status, domestic companies often lose cases when dealing with anti-dumping.

When Chinese companies encounter anti-dumping, due to the so-called non-market economy status, during the anti-dumping investigation, if the company cannot provide conclusive evidence that the product is produced under market economy conditions, the other party must use the so-called production cost of the substitute country to determine the production cost of Chinese products. The cost of the substitute country is usually higher than the production cost in China, and then draw the conclusion that the sales price of Chinese products is lower than the production cost, leaving Chinese companies in a losing position.

"Generally speaking, Western countries mainly evaluate the status of the market economy from five aspects." Fan Wubing told Shen Ying, "The degree of government intervention in resource allocation and corporate decision-making; the degree of enterprise privatization and the transition between new and old systems, such as whether to abolish trade and compensation from non-market means; whether to own and enforce transparent and non-discriminatory corporate laws to ensure the rights of enterprises and equity owners; have laws and regulations to protect intellectual property rights and bankruptcy operations; have a financial industry independent of the government. Obviously, under the current circumstances, it is very difficult to achieve this goal, at least I don't think it is now

China has this condition to meet their requirements. In fact, no matter how hard we try, it is not so easy for more advanced countries to recognize China's market economy status. Because they are afraid that China will become a major economic power, fear that China will become more economically, and fear that China will develop more economically in various fields. They are also afraid that if China recognizes China's market economy status, it will have an impact on its own economy. Therefore, they do not recognize China's market economy status, and they must attack China's economy in various fields, slander China with various means, and make their people feel disgusted with China."

"As for this? Are they all ** countries?" Shen Ying felt a little unbelievable.

"Of course it's like this. Even between the United States and the European Union, between the United States and Japan, between the European Union and Japan, there are quite a lot of conflicts. What's more, the relationship between these countries and China?" Fan Wubing said.

In fact, in the media in advanced countries, there are few media reports about China that are positive. Whether it is newspapers, magazines, or TV news, this situation exists. Even a foreign friend once asked Fan Wubing with a photo from ten years ago, is this what China looks like?

With the domestic economic development in recent years, the growth of foreign trade has scared many countries, so anti-dumping trade disputes have arisen.

Among these anti-dumping cases, the United States, the European Union and Japan are the countries with the most complaints. The reason they do this is directly related to the recognition of China's market economy status. If they do not recognize China's market economy status, they have many advantages in anti-dumping cases. If they recognize China's market economy status, then their anti-dumping security will not have any advantages, and their case will end in failure.

If China recognizes its market economy status, they will also recognize China's high economic development in recent years, and the markets of these countries will be impacted by China's commodities. These can fully demonstrate the fear of China and fear of China by the advanced countries.

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

Although this reason is very ridiculous, because every country has the right to show its own military and every country has the right to defend itself. It is a bit ridiculous to be able to give this reason that is not a reason to be mentioned. As for what the real reason is, although these countries have not said it, everyone is already very clear in their hearts.

"The exchanges between countries are more hypocritical." Shen Ying said with some emotion after hearing Fan Wubing's explanation.

Fan Wubing replied with a smile, "This is very normal. As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. In the face of huge interests, everything must be left aside. The United States will not mention it. Even if it is the countries with the best relations with China, what is the so-called traditional friendship? Do you have to know how many benefits they have to take from China every year to maintain this traditional friendship?"
