Burden on world trade Freighters back up off southern China

As of: 21.06.2021 8:59 a.m.

The container ships are stowed in the fourth largest port in the world. The reason is a corona outbreak in Shenzhen-Yantian. The international movement of goods is impaired – possibly until the end of the year.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

The congestion of the container ships off southern China is worse than that Blockade of the Suez Canal in March This is how Vincent Clerc, manager of the Danish shipping company Maersk, summed it up in a conversation with journalists in mid-June. At times, around 130 container ships from all over the world were anchored off the port of Shenzhen-Yantian, as reported by the Bloomberg news agency.

Weeks-long consequences for world trade

The reason for the traffic jam is a new – albeit small – corona outbreak in the southern Chinese part of Guangdong, where Shenzhen is located. Because the local authorities ordered the port of Shenzhen to be partially closed due to the corona, ships could not dock and cast off. Supply chains worldwide are out of step. German companies in the Guangdong region are also reporting that department stores are sometimes overcrowded. In the meantime, the situation in Guangdong has normalized, but weeks will pass before the backlog has completely cleared, estimates Nick Marro, an analyst for world trade at the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in Hong Kong. The backlog will therefore continue for weeks through the global supply chains.

Traffic jam in the fourth largest port in the world

Shenzhen-Yantian is the fourth largest container port in the world; Last year more than 27 million standard containers (TEU) were handled there. For comparison: In Hamburg there were fewer than nine million containers in 2020, i.e. around a third of them.

The logistics delays are a problem especially for the tech and electronics industry: around 90 percent of all electronics exports from China go through the port of Shenzhen-Yantian. Analyst Nick Marro expects the situation to remain tense, given the global openings after the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Relaxation probably only towards the end of the year

“There is no sign of an end to global consumer demand for goods and products. In many western countries, stocks are usually replenished in the third quarter of the year, which continues to ensure high trading activity,” says Marro. “This suggests that the tensions in global logistics and at the ports will not ease until the fourth quarter of the year.” In China, almost no reports are made of the container ship congestion in front of the port of Shenzhen-Yantian

Receivables from the tax office Many short-time workers have to pay taxes

Status: 14.06.2021 2:49 p.m.

The short-time work allowance saved many jobs. But many recipients are now realizing that the tax office is demanding an additional tax payment: an additional burden for an already lower income. From Iris Sayram, rbb It is now the third amendment to the short-time work regulation that is going through parliament this week. “With short-time working we secure millions of jobs through the crisis and get the German economy important skilled workers for a quick start now in the summer”, Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) repeated only recently. This statement is not disputed; but after more than a year of short-time work, there are also side effects.

Short-time work requires a tax return

These are particularly noticeable now, as those receiving the benefits have to submit their tax returns for the 2020 pandemic year. Everyone who has “applied for more than 410 euros in the calendar year” has to make the declaration, according to the website of the Federal Employment Agency (BA). The calculation that as an employee subject to wage tax you usually get something back does not always apply here. Some even have to pay back large sums of money to the tax office. “This mainly affects the recipients who were not sent 100 percent on short-time work, but only partially,” says the managing director of the Federal Association of Wage Tax Aid Associations, Uwe Rauhöft tagesschau.de . The Berlin Left MP Sebastian Schluesselburg knows exactly such a case from his public consultation: A woman from the hotel industry was put on short-time work at the beginning of the pandemic. “Your cash flow is already greatly reduced by the high rent and having a small child,” said Schluesselburg. But she has now been completely “blown away” by the additional tax payment of more than 1000 euros – payable within four weeks.

With the decision comes the tax shock

“This is not an isolated case,” says Uwe Rauhöft from the income tax aid association. “If the regular working hours are reduced to 50 percent and short-time work allowance is granted for the other 50 percent, then the wage tax is sometimes reduced very sharply,” explains the expert. The reduced wage tax will fall disproportionately because of the progressive tax rate. “As a result, however, too little wage tax is paid over the year,” Rauhöft continues. With the income tax return this is now noticeable. Those affected often only noticed this when they received the payment notification. “If you don’t expect it beforehand and don’t know, you now have a problem.” The Federal Employment Agency cannot give precise figures on how many recipients are now confronted with back payments. It is only clear that there are not just a few isolated cases. Several million employees have received short-time allowance since the beginning of the pandemic. According to the latest projections by the BA, it was around 2.6 million in March.

Experts complain that there is insufficient information

In the FAQ area of ​​the employment agency there is a note in the last sub-item that “short-time allowance as wage replacement benefit is tax-free”. It also states that the service will be taken into account when determining the tax rate. “This can lead to additional tax claims”. This should have been pointed out more clearly, says tax law expert Sandra Inioutis. The tax advisor knows the problem. “It is a highly complicated process and it is not possible to say in general who it affects.” It is all the more necessary to better educate the recipients here. “Perhaps one should have said from an official point that the basically tax-free service is provided with a” but “”, says Inioutis tagesschau.de .

Little indulgence in repayment

“As if that weren’t bad enough, the tax office is proceeding with full force here,” reports the left-wing politician Schliisselburg. The young family wanted to pay the 1000 euros in two installments, but that would only be possible if all of their own funds were practically exhausted. A credit line must also be used beforehand in order to get a deferral approved. “That is unbelievable. People are being driven into over-indebtedness,” the politician said indignantly. But the law on the possibility of deferral requires that an installment payment is only to be granted in the event of “considerable hardship”. “Unfortunately that is the legal situation. But I would not recommend a deferral either, the interest rate is six percent per year. That will then be even more expensive,” advises expert Rauhöft from the income tax aid association. However, the interest rates for an overdraft facility are likely to be in a similar range or even higher.

I believe that everyone is no stranger to travel programs, and even said that the “same style” on the market has become quite common, so that it has caused aesthetic fatigue many times. And this file turned out to be a boy, but it has brought a new definition to the travel variety show. The new generation treasure boy Wang Junkai after 00, Liu Haoran, the favorite of the National League, and Dong Zijian, a powerful young man, were the permanent guests of the show. The three teenagers went on a trip to the mountains and rivers together for the first time. There was no strangeness, no estrangement, and no problems such as the guests that the program group was worried about. Some are just the sparks produced by the friction of the teenagers, and the resonance with each other’s tacit chat. As the representatives of the emerging youth groups in China, their respective efforts have exuded vigorous and upward energy, which is quite popular with the public, and we are full of expectations for the trip of the three of them. What’s more novel and interesting about the program group is that there are no missions, no plot, less value, and three teenagers drive by themselves. All plans are decided by the three teenagers themselves, which is closer to the true appearance of travel. With three or two friends, stop and go, go to the endless mountains and rivers, and start their heart-warming journey. Xiao Feijun feels happy that he is back instantly! The program team planned three destinations for this trip, namely, the Baiyueguang in Liu Haoran’s heart-Sichuan-Tibet line; Wang Junkai’s ideal comfortable resort area-Hainan Island; and Dong Zijian’s heart and mind-Yunnan Meili Snow Mountain. Just from the video of stepping on, I have been full of longing and longing for this trip. The dense sea of ​​clouds in the Yajia Terrier, Kangding, an important town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and Yuzixi where you can enjoy the excellent Gemini meteor shower, each is a wonderful scenery. Friends who are looking forward to a self-driving trip may also wish to open Tencent Video to watch “It’s a Boy” and follow the three boys to see what they encounter along the way. Three people in a car staged a travel version of “Longing for Life” At the first leg of the trip, the plane landed in Xichang, Sichuan. After the toss of the flight, the plane finally arrived at the destination before the official departure-Hailuogou, Sichuan. From here, they officially started their warm journey. Director Hu Ming once mentioned the key word about the show at the press conference: “Extremely Real”. Indeed, they are comfortable and casual. Get in the car to sleep, get out of the car to take pictures, there are scenery passing by during the journey, and there are also unexpected gains that the three people captured together. If you’re inconvenient to wash at night, you can share a makeup remover. If you have trouble with makeup, you can discuss the makeup without makeup. Soaking in hot springs and playing word games together, Liu Haoran even dared to sing out of tune in front of the camera to expose his true self. There are also gags between friends, the fun of playing and playing, and the ridicule and self-deprecating between each other, all of which release all the personal charms in life. During this trip, the program team provided three people with a good car. This time, three people in a car, they will stage a travel version of “Longing for Life” together. The plateau snow-capped mountains and the boy meet the stars and the sea Starting from Hailuogou, passing Yajia Qinghai-Hongshi Park-Kangding-finally arrive at Yuzixixingkong camp. This is their next route arrangement, as well as the regular operation of the Sichuan-Tibet line, and this road is accompanied by the snowy peaks of the plateau. Although the self-driving trip has high mountains and long rivers, there is no regret that there are good scenery everywhere. /Hailuogou/ @图虫创意 The first stop of the show was Hailuogou, Sichuan, located in Moxi Town, Luding County, Sichuan Province, which is also a very high mountain on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Crystalline modern glaciers pour down from high valleys; huge ice caves and steep ice bridges make people feel like a crystal palace in myth. In addition to the amazing glacier landscape, the local forest and snow scenes are also intriguing. The whole world is like a kingdom of ice and snow. The three teenagers couldn’t help but wonder again and again, and did not forget to take out their cameras to record this beautiful moment. Continue to go west along the highway, and you will see horses walking and looking for food. These cute little guys seem to greet them and say “hello”. They drove all the way westward, galloping among the mountains and cedars, talking, laughing, singing, passing by the beautiful scenery and getting off the car to play in the snow. This is a free carnival for teenagers. The most beautiful part of youth is that you can have friends with you, and you can go to see the scenery you want to see. When we are busy filling up our lives, we all hope to take a walk-and-go trip to relax ourselves, and let our hearts be freed and redeemed while watching them. /Kangding/ After several hours of hard work, the three finally arrived at the check-in point of “318 Must Drive in This Life”-Kangding. Here, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway traverses the entire territory, with an altitude of 2560m, and has officially entered the plateau area. It is also a county where the Han-Tibetan blends. Therefore, a variety of Han and Tibetan snacks are also gathered. In Kangding City, Sichuan cuisine is the majority, and there are also many restaurants with Tibetan style. The guest Liu Haoran was also here to find a Tibetan restaurant and went away with his companions. After all the setbacks, he finally got his wish. After you sit down, come first with a bowl of authentic pastry tea, which is a sense of ritual for dining here. The three teenagers who had eaten all turned into food bloggers, beef buns, fragrant fried lamb chops, butter gnocchi, beef quilt, mushroom and vegetable heart…all kinds of Tibetan delicacies captured three people as soon as they were on the table. The stomach and heart of the guest. /Caviar West Star Camp/ @It happened to be the last stop of the first phase of the youth official blog. The three teenagers came to the Yuzixi Xingkong Camp where they could see the dazzling galaxy. It is 4200m above sea level and the view is extremely wide. The pure white tents, colorful nima piles, prayer flags, wind horse flags, various elements are gathered here, and the sense of high-level is full. @小红书 A bark pig is a niche attraction, Yuzixi has a beautiful state of being undisturbed. The snowy mountains, the Milky Way, and the hearts of the teenagers on the road are the most beautiful here. Camping on such a vast plateau is really “accent”. Without any worries or sorrow, I just stared at the sky full of stars and the Milky Way, and I couldn’t bear to fall asleep. It seemed that the beautiful scenery in front of me and the mood at this moment were all the starry gifts given to the three teenagers by Caviar Xisong. This seems to be the closest place to the stars, as if you can touch the stars and clouds with your hand. /Litang/ @小红书NewSoul Speaking of the most healthy journey in winter, there is nothing more than a trip to the Sichuan-Tibet line. The most memorable part of the Sichuan-Tibet line must belong to Ding Zhen’s hometown-Litang. The average altitude here is 4000 meters, and it has the reputation of “the city closest to the sky”, and it is also the lifelong yearning of many self-driving lovers. @图虫创意 came here, there is no work in my mind, only the flowing blood is boiling. Everything is peaceful, harmonious, natural, and unhurried. This natural and tranquil beauty is undoubtedly an unforgettable experience for the three teenagers who usually live in the complex city. /Daocheng Yading/ This is the last piece of pure land on the blue planet. Located in the Western Sichuan Plateau, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, canyons, forests, lakes and pure air. For every traveler who wants to take the Sichuan-Tibet line, the four words Daocheng Yading will be written into their memo. The crystal clear milk sea, the five-color sea, and more than a thousand other mountain lakes are scattered among the rugged rocks, blue like jade, and the scenery is extremely magnificent. If you are lucky, you will encounter the clearest and brightest starry sky on this planet, each of which is a “rare and rare sight in life”. So far, “It’s a Boy” is still being updated, and I will meet with you in Shangri-La, Yunnan, Wanning, Wenchang, Sanya…everywhere is a wonderful scenery. The young man was staying with them at that time and he was passionate about chasing dreams of mountains and seas Speaking of youthfulness, from the perspective of age, Dong Zijian is 27 years old, Liu Haoran is 24 years old, and Wang Junkai is 21 years old. They all seem to have nothing to do with teenagers, but it does not affect their youthfulness. Longing in your heart is to always keep a dream-seeking heart for the things you yearn for. ” It is a feeling that can inspire the “boy” in everyone’s hearts. It is possible to have the impulse and enthusiasm of the forehead, as well as the courage and sincerity to shake off the burden at any time. It is free, fresh and distinct, and it is also a state and attitude. It is also a state that we cannot afford to lose. No matter how old we are, we still have the enthusiasm for boldness and creativity. The program itself also hopes to stimulate everyone’s perception and love of life through the travel status of the three of them, and to activate everyone’s inner “juvenile sense” There are unknown mountains, rivers and seas ahead, and the three teenagers still maintain their love, bringing us beauty and surprises.

These changes are directed at the business side.

Today, when the production capacity is highly developed, those conventional goods are rarely available on this e-commerce platform, and those that are not available on that e-commerce platform. Similarly, in the current situation where e-commerce platforms such as Taoxi, JD.com, and Pinduoduo coexist with multiple content e-commerce platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou, merchants no longer limit their business to a certain platform, and multi-platform operation has become normal.

Kaifu, the person in charge of Taobao industry, believes that “Taobao’s increase is in new categories and new supplies.” New supply must come from merchants. To some extent, compared to the user side, merchants are the focus of future e-commerce competition. For businesses operating on multiple platforms, which platform should invest more resources and energy? For businesses with differences and uniqueness in supply, which platform should they choose as their main business position? This is the key to determining the long-term operating conditions of different platforms.

How to grab the heart of the business?

Tao Department has been in business for nearly 20 years, and attracting merchants has always been a core strategic task. But in the near future, a series of changes in Taobao and Tmall are still worthy of attention, and they have further released strong signals to lower the threshold and reduce costs.

Zhang Yong, chairman and CEO of Alibaba, said in a conference call on April 12, “We will first lower the barriers to business access and help merchants reduce business operating costs.” At the same time, the company has also prepared billions of dollars in funds. Support new projects and increase investment to improve merchant training.

The upcoming “Tmall Trial Operation Period” is to optimize the entry process of new businesses. The qualification review process for new merchants will be further simplified. After passing the 7-month trial operation capability assessment, the store can be officially opened.

In Taobao, the “three treasures and one coupon” is an important tool for the daily operation of merchants. For example, whenever they arrive at a promotional node, the merchant will use discount coupons and other promotional methods to attract consumers. These are all set through these “operational artifacts”.

For the free of these tool products, Cave is very supportive, “We hope to help merchants reduce costs and turn the previously charged things, such as shop tools, business staff, etc., into free. These things are actually counted in Alibaba’s overall There is not much money in the income, but it happens to be stuck in the business’s immediate needs. To put it bluntly, this is money that should not be collected.”

In addition, before the Spring Festival this year, the sales transactions brought by Taobaoke (Taoke for short) were included in the statistics of Taobao search. Cave said, “Now we think it is good for the whole ecology to include Taoke in the search statistics. Taoke’s transaction will drive the growth of natural traffic in the station, and more merchants will be more willing to promote for this reason.” This also means Although the main position of the merchants is the Taobao department, they can still effectively use external traffic and achieve higher operating efficiency in the integrated management framework of Taobao inside and outside Taobao.

In fact, on the eve of Double 11 last year, the first change in Taobao took place on the mobile phone: the homepage removed the focus image, and the information flow product “Guess you like” was mentioned. After the user clicks on the corresponding product image, he will enter an integrated similar product recommendation. Pages, these pages are presented in various forms, with both video and image content.

As a result, the positioning of the homepage becomes more clear-it acts as a commodity conversion field, allowing businesses to display their products in a more media-rich way and improve conversion efficiency. From a numerical point of view, after the revision, the click-through rate of the entire homepage has increased by 20%, and the length of time users spend on the homepage information stream has also increased by 20%.

Cave recently also re-emphasized the significance of the recommended information flow for businesses. “In the recommendation position, the most popular products are basically non-standard, long-tail, and distinctive products. For example, recommendations may be useless for merchants selling standardized small appliances. They are just stuck in the search position. But for merchants who sell long-tail, non-standard products like clothes, recommendations are the most beneficial to them. This is also one of the reasons for the good growth of our waist businesses.”

At the end of last year, another big change in Taobao APP was the upgrade of “WeTao” to “Subscription” and the launch of a new content community “Wang Huan” at the same time. In addition to creating a content community, it also allows businesses to strengthen channels to reach consumers through the combination of Taobao live broadcast, shopping and subscription, and achieve in-depth operation of fans.

These targeted actions of Taoist e-commerce companies can indeed help businesses to better respond to industry competition while reducing their burdens. In the past year, Taobao’s active merchant growth has set a record high in five years. As Zhang Yong said, the most important work of Tao Department this year is to reduce costs and thresholds for merchants, and create a more open, fair, efficient and shared platform environment for merchants.

“Business field”, the moat of Taoist e-commerce

For a long time, e-commerce platforms have attached great importance to “traffic”. After content platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou have entered “e-commerce”, the outside world is often very optimistic about their traffic value as high-frequency software. However, if you look at Taoist e-commerce from the Internet traffic thinking alone, it may be more one-sided. From the beginning, the Taoxi platform was not just a traffic field, but a “business field”.

In layman’s terms, Taobao can be compared to a “night market street”. It is not only a sales platform for merchants, but also a complete ecosystem of different goods, merchants and business partners. Taobao guarantees the efficient matching of user needs and commodity supply in terms of entry barriers, operating tools, search/recommendation, and consumer evaluation systems, while establishing a good transaction order. This “night market” is not only lively enough, but also “fireworks”, and the rights and interests of businesses and consumers here are also well protected.

Merchant means supply. The reason why Taoxi platform actively “reduces” the merchants is precisely because for them, supply is the core competitiveness of the entire business field. To provide convenience for businesses is to strengthen their core competitiveness.

Taobao’s “business field” attribute is its important moat.

Considering practical factors, although Alibaba’s mobile MAU in the Chinese retail market exceeded the 900 million mark for the first time in the fourth quarter of last year, the year-on-year growth rate was only 9.4%. In other words, the growth rate of Amoy e-commerce users has slowed, and we cannot rely solely on extensive traffic growth. How refined operations are the key to future business growth.

At this time, Taobao’s previously accumulated business field advantage provides a viable breakthrough. By attracting merchants to invest more heavily on the platform, the Taoxi e-commerce product pool will be further enriched, and new categories and new supplies will be the growth points of the platform.

As mentioned earlier, after more than ten years of accumulation, the Tao system has settled down a relatively mature payment, logistics, platform governance, and consumer evaluation system, which objectively ensures that the Tao system is a stable and predictable operation of input and output. platform. On Taobao, there are zero thresholds and zero fees for opening a store. As an integrated platform including payment, logistics, and finding the upstream and downstream of the supply chain, Taobao actually has a comprehensive cost advantage for merchants. In this system, Taobao’s protection of the rights and interests of merchants is also the most complete and systematic.

In the past few years, Taobao and Tmall have had about 1 trillion business increments each year, and the market has great potential for merchants. Taobao’s “full supply” strategy is also attractive to businesses of all categories. In other words, Taobao is the “most unbiased” platform. At the same time, Taobao relies on its advantages in technology and traffic, through data integration and analysis, to accurately understand user needs and provide data support for merchants’ commodity supply.

“Creating a New Movement”

Tao Department not only continues to attract new businesses to settle in, but also helps many new businesses grow into brands from small to large. The rising channel from Taobao to Tmall not only brings more business options and imagination to merchants, but also continuously enriches the supply pool of the entire Taobao department.

In the past three years, 100,000 new brands have entered Tmall. In July last year, Tmall announced the launch of a new brand growth plan. Alibaba vice president Jia Luo said, “In the next two years, we hope to incubate 5,000 unicorns with annual sales of over 100 million yuan, and will also greatly help foreign trade. The factory is transforming to branding, achieving annual sales of 20,000 brands of more than 10 million.”

Last year’s Double 11 is no longer the pattern of traditional big brands “dominating the rivers and lakes” in the early years. Statistics show that the turnover of more than 1,800 new brands on November 1 surpassed the entire day of 11.11 in the previous year, and 94 new brands increased by more than 1,000%. Tmall also opened an exclusive marketing track for new brands for the first time, and helped new brands achieve business growth and brand upgrades through the “Double 11 Treasure New Brand” program.

In general, a large number of new brands have emerged in Amoy e-commerce. Behind this, Amoy e-commerce’s ability to support new brands is constantly strengthening.

Even in the era of e-commerce, it is difficult for merchants to judge consumer demand trends based on their own sales data alone. Therefore, the data capabilities and consumer insights possessed by Taoxi e-commerce have an added advantage for merchants. In the past few years, the Taoxi platform has gradually penetrated into the upper reaches of the merchant’s supply chain, helping them to do new product research and development, and shorten the path from new products to explosive models. Specifically, Tmall has formed a complete set of support processes from accurate portraits, positioning and reach of consumers, to new product development, design, and marketing.

At the same time, compared with traffic-based e-commerce, the most significant difference between Taoxi is the store-centric operation model. In the Tao Department, merchants are not only pursuing single-product explosions, but accumulating brand minds and obtaining more predictable long-term benefits.

After years of precipitation, brand owners and small and medium-sized merchants on the Taoxi platform have jointly built a rich product pool. At the same time, due to the openness of Taoxi e-commerce on the supply side, they can also adapt and lead the changes in consumer consumption habits very quickly. Efficient matching of supply and consumption.

Looking beyond the e-commerce industry, the stores and brands that grew up in Taoism are actually the epitome of China’s consumption revolution. With the development of China’s economy, the needs of consumers have become more and more diversified, and merchants have continued to iterate. Taobao’s largest moat is actually a symbiosis with consumer trends, consumers, brands and innovative businesses in the process of China’s economic “big and big fish.”

Meanwhile, Professor, Dr. Le Danh Tuyen, Director of the National Institute of Nutrition, said that this National Nutrition Census has important implications in evaluating the goals of the National Strategy on Nutrition. period 2011-2020 and provide scientific evidence to serve the drafting of the strategy for the next phase.

So far, Vietnam is on track to achieve the Global Nutrition Goals (40% reduction in child stunting and stunting by 2025 – Artwork

At the conference, Deputy Minister of Health Do Xuan Tuyen emphasized: “This Census of Nutrition is the largest scale ever in the country with the participation of 22400 households in 25 provinces.
