上海千花坊女神会所Tianjin, a major northern port city, has witnessed positive outcomes in its efforts to pursue high-

quality development, and the city will continue working to boost productivity and seek new momentum to fost

“We’ve made great achievements in the field of smart technologies, buoyed by a group of leading tech firms and research instit上海千花坊

More efforts are needed to foster the high-end industrial chain, introduce more innovative high-tech companies, creat

上海千花坊女神会所e a high-tech and high-end innovation platform and pursue the application of smart technologies, Zhang noted.

In the first half of this year, the city’s GDP surged 4.6 percent year-on-year to about 1.04 trillion yuan ($150 billion), official data showed.

During that period, value-added industrial output in Tianjin surpassed 417 billion yuan, up by 3.5 percent year-on-year.上海千花坊女神会所

Specifically, valued-added automobile manufacturing output and sp

上海千花坊ecialized equipment manufacturing surged by 11.7 percent and 18.2 percent respectively.

Now, Tianjin is shaping up to become a high-tech hub, having rolled out a series of supportive policies to develop the blo

ssoming artificial intelligence sector as it aims to inject new impetus into the city’s economic growth.

Last December, Tianjin unveiled a three-year plan to boost the innova上海千花坊

tive development of seven AI-related industrial chains, including the ind

上海千花坊女神会所ependent and controllable information system, smart security, big data, adv

anced communications, intelligent connected vehicles, industrial robots and intelligent terminals.

The government of China’s Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) plans t

o set up an investment and development fund to support the development of the Gua上海千花坊

ngdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the SAR’s chief executive Chui Sai On has said.

上海千花坊女神会所During a question-and-answer session at the SAR Legislative Assembly Th

ursday, Chui told Macao’s legislative members that there were about 49 projects relating to M

acao’s participation in the Greater Bay Area set out in the outline development plan for the Greater Bay Area.

He said Macao’s basic fiscal reserves and surplus reserves amounted to 569.54 billion patacas (about 70.49 billion U.S. doll上海千花坊女神会所

ars), while there was 163.25 billion patacas (about 20.20 billion U.S. dollars) in foreign exchange reserves at the be

inning of 2019, and the government had the financial capability to establish such a fund.

上海千花坊The fund would be set up in the second half of 2019, and would be manag

ed by a government-owned entity operating independently of the current structure of pub

lic administration. It would be run in accordance with market-led and commercial principles, he added.上海千花坊女神会所

The chief executive said it was not only a way for improving returns on publicly-held capital and for the benefit of public fu

上海千花坊nds, but also for realizing policy goals mentioned in the Greater Bay Area outline development plan.

The Greater Bay Area consists of the Hong Kong SAR, the Macao SAR, as well as nine cities in Guangdong上海千花坊

Province — Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing.

With the Office of the United States Trade Representative threatening to impose new tariff

s on $4 billion worth of European Union goods, the trade conflict between the US and the EU has inten上海千花坊品茶微信

sified. And if the US makes good the threat it issued on July 1, the additional tariffs would cover $25 billion of EU go

上海千花坊ods－in April the US had decided to impose additional tariffs on $21 billion of EU products. In addition, the US adm

inistration launched a Section 301 investigation against the digital service tax of France on July 10.

Washington’s move seems to have roots in the 15-year-old dispute over the su上海千花坊

sidies given to Boeing by the US and to Airbus by the EU. The US is using tariffs t

上海千花坊品茶微信o exert pressure on the EU to reduce subsidies to Airbus so Boeing can maintain its competitiveness in the global ma

rket and the jobs in the US plane manufacturing industry could be protected.

The US is wielding tariff as weapon also to increase its bargaining chips in the negotiations over “three zeros”－zero ta上海千花坊

riff, zero tariff barriers and zero subsidy－for non-auto industrial products.

Since the US and the EU have wide differences over auto and agri上海千花坊品茶微信

cultural products, the negotiations remain mired in uncertainty, although Washington com

pelled Brussels to continue the talks by threatening to impose fresh tariffs on EU goods in April.上海千花坊

As US President Donald Trump prepares to launch his re-election campaign, he is trying to mitigate US farmers’ sufferings, as the

votes from the agricultural belts helped him win the 2016 presidential election. The US administration has pro上海千花坊品茶微信

vided numerous subsidies for farmers to help offset their losses due to the US’ trade disputes with China, the EU and othe

r economies, but subsidies alone cannot solve the farmers’ problems. So Washington has put some EU agricu

ltural products on the tariff list in an effort to protect its agricultural products market.

However, the fact that the EU has agreed to resume negotiations on subsidies to the plane ma

nufacturing industry does not mean it will not take countermeasures if the US does impose mo

re tariffs on EU goods. In April, when the US levied additional tariffs on $21 billion of EU go

ods, Brussels responded by imposing tariffs on€20 billion ($22.43 billion) of US products.

media accuse China of violating human rights in Xinjiang not because they care for the people of the region but because they want to use hu

Just as Deng Xiaoping said, some Western countries use issues su

If governments and people across the world want to safeguard huma

of the State Council, China’s Cabinet, on Wednesday, it was decided t

hat 10 percent of the shares of domestic large-and medium-sized State-owned e

nterprises will be transferred to the social security fund. Beijing News comments:

State capital belongs to the people and should benefit all members of society. It is also the co

mmon practice of developed countries to supplement social security fund with State-controlled capital.

After the money is transferred, the SOEs will enjoy the rights and profits

as financial investors, while the social security fund will be strengthened.

Before the move, the social security fund mainly rel

ied on enterprises and fees paid by individuals plus financial subsidies.

Especially, in the past round of SOE reform, many retirees were allo

wed to get their pensions without ever paying for them, which means the whole society sub

sidized the SOEs. Now the SOEs are flourishing and it is time they render some help back to society.

Money from the SOEs has long been considered an important way to supplement the social security fund. Howev

er, progress in achieving this goal has been rather slow. According to a national audit report, at the end of March this

year, only 113.2 billion yuan ($16.42 billion) of 23 SOEs had been transferred to the social security fund, which account

s for less than 10 percent of the planned total. Only four provinces had started the job.

There are vested interests behind this. For example, certain local government
