in the second half of the year, the ministry of commerce mainly focused on cross cycle regulation to keep foreign trade within a reasonable range. specifically, there are four aspects: stabilizing growth, promoting innovation, ensuring smooth flow and expanding cooperation. steady growth is mainly to stabilize the main body and orders. promote innovation, and now vigorously promote the development of new forms and models of foreign trade, and strengthen the overseas promotion of chinese brands. ensure the smooth flow of china's foreign trade industry chain and supply chain. expand cooperation and integrate into the whole international economic cooperation, which will not only make china's contribution to the development of the world, but also promote the development of china's own foreign trade
promoting consumption: improving the energy level of traditional consumption and accelerating the cultivation of new consumption
wang wentao introduced, china has become the world's second largest consumer market after the united states. in terms of structure, the people's consumption level and quality of life have been greatly improved. the next step is to comply with the consumption situation and do work from three aspects
first, improve the traditional consumption level. "there is still great potential for traditional consumption," said wang wentao, "during this period, i have been studying second-hand cars to promote echelon consumption and circular consumption of consumption. after the car ownership reaches a certain level, the second-hand car market begins to expand, which is also a regular problem of international automobile consumption, and the second-hand market will also be a large market in the future. we also encourage the recycling of household appliances and furniture in conditional areas, exchange the old for the new, support the catering industry to innovate the business model and improve the service quality, further expand catering consumption. there are also the inheritance and innovation of time-honored brands and brand consumption. especially now we have noticed the new business forms and new models, including the "national tide consumption" that young people pay close attention to. "
second, accelerate the cultivation of new consumption. the epidemic has given birth to some new consumption modes focusing on online consumption. we should speed up the cultivation of new consumption modes, including new business forms and new modes such as smart stores, contactless distribution and home service. at the same time, traditional circulation enterprises are encouraged to create some new immersive, experiential and interactive consumption scenes
the third is to build a consumption upgrading platform. through the innovative development of consumption platform and the combination of "point, line and surface", we should combine expanding consumption with improving people's quality of life. to cultivate international consumption center cities, we should also promote the transformation and upgrading of pedestrian streets with high quality, and develop characteristic business districts and characteristic blocks
