Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures  Original: English  
 
SUBSIDIES  
REQUEST FROM THE UNI TED STATES TO CHINA PURSUANT TO  
ARTICLE 25.10 OF THE  AGREEMENT  
The following communication, dated 13 April 2017, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the United States.  
_______________  
In 2008, the United S tates brought a dispute challenging China's Famous Export Brand program 
(and related programs), which appeared to provide prohibited export subsidies in the form of cash 
grants and other benefits to large, well -known exporters.1 After the consultation requ est, the 
United States engaged in settlement talks with China pursuant to which China terminated or 
amended dozens of inconsistent measures and demonstrated that other challenged measures had 
expired. A mutually agreed solution was reached with China in 20 09. 
Since then, the United States has discovered central and sub -central measures implementing the 
"Internationally Well -Known Brand" program. Many of these measures, at both the central and 
sub-central levels, indicate that the new program is the successo r to the Famous Export Brand 
program.  
While China recently notified many of the terminated, amended or expired sub-central  government 
Famous Export Brand measures, it does not appear to have notified any terminated, amended or 
expired central  government F amous Export Brand measures. Furthermore, it appears that none of 
the Internationally Well -Known Brand measures have ever been notified at the central or 
sub-central levels of government. Therefore, to provide a more comprehensive perspective of 
China's "b rand" programs, especially in the context of the upcoming review of China's first ever 
sub-central subsidy notification, the United States makes this submission under Article 25.10 of 
the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.  
The United Stat es requests that China notify the programs and measures identified below to the 
Committee on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. Should a notification not be made promptly, 
the United States reserves its right to raise the alleged subsidies for discussi on at the next regular 
meeting of the Committee. Although not required under Article 25.10, full translations of each of 
the measures cited below are attached to this submission.

Guiding Opinion on Promoting the C ultivation Work of International Well -Known Brands  
Since reform and opening up, China's foreign trade has continued to develop rapidly, gradually 
solidifying its position as a trading power. At the same time, there are extremely prominent 
contradictions su ch as indigenous intellectual property is lacking, commodity added value is low, 
and quality increase is low, and especially the lack of International Well -Known Brands. This has 
become a key factor that is restricting the development of China's foreign tr ade. In order to 
further do well the tasks for cultivating International Well -Known Brands, [we] propose the 
following guiding opinion:  
I. Unify understanding, solidify confidence, and continue to promote International Well -Known 
brands cultivation work  
The experiences of developed nations and China's participation in global competition both have 
indicated that the cultivation of a batch of International Well -Known brands is an important means 
of strengthening global competitiveness and comprehensive nation al strength, and a mandatory 
path to transform from a trading power to a trading superpower.  
In the coming period, [we] should be guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thinking 
of the Three Represents, maintain a scientific outlook on developmen t, fully implement the spirit 
instilled by the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party  and the National Economy and 
Social Development 11th Five -Year Plan Outline  on expediting the cultivation of multinational 
companies and International Well -Known b rands; with the market as the guide, enterprises as the 
main entities, and government encouragement and guidance as principles, to improve the policy 
system and working mechanism for cultivating International Well -Known brands. [We will] rely on 
providing general public services as a means and create a cultivating environment; strive to 
promote companies in creating International Well -Known brands, and fully increase the global 
competitiveness of Chinese enterprises.  
II. Concentrate  on key points, properly manage enterprises, and solidify the foundations for 
cultivating International Well -Known Brands  
Corporations are required to fully play the role of the main entity in creating International Well -
Known Brands, focusing on the present to establish firm foot ing for the future, fully understand the 
important role that branding plays in expanding markets, increasing profits, and strengthening 
competitiveness, and devise practical and feasible branding development plans. [They are] G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 10 - 
 
  required to borrow from the su ccessful experiences of developed nations, increase investment in 
development and design, strengthen indigenous development and innovativeness technical content 
and added value, increase processing and manufacturing level, and ensure product quality and 
safety. [They are] required to do well trademark registration, quality control system certification, 
and environmental system certification work. [We] are required to exploit modern liquidity and 
innovate marketing and sales modes, expand channels for sales and marketing, establish a sales 
network, and perfect after sales services. [We] are required to improve quality across the board 
and focus on fulfilling social duties, enhancing an honest and trustworthy system, respect and 
protect intellectual rights, an d pave a solid foundation for the creation of International Well -Known 
Brands.  
III. Actively encourage, strengthen guidance, and support enterprises to do well creating work of 
International Well -Known Brands  
Relevant departments of the State Council and a ll levels of local government are to support 
enterprises in promoting the creation of International Well -Known Brands under the principle of 
not violating China's international treaties. Support corporations in improving R&D and design 
capability, creating  a public R&D and design platform, providing assistance to enterprises in areas 
including information and human talents, and increase enterprises' core competitiveness. Guide 
enterprises to innovate investment and cooperation with the outside, and engage i n global 
operation. Gradually create a globalized R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service system. 
Encourage enterprises to "go out" taking on processing, production, and assembly of branded 
products overseas in order to provide an overseas platform for crea ting International Well -Known 
Brands.  
Support enterprises in developing the domestic market, guide enterprises in asset restructuring 
and mergers that tie in with brands, and focus on protecting and cultivating International Well -
Known Brands in corporate mergers and restructuring. Strive to develop brand chains, franchised 
stores, and specialty stores, which are a new type of liquidity organization method that is in line 
with modern liquidity development trends. Create multilevel brand marketing channels, and 
construct production, liquidity, and services for various International Well -Known Brands. Actively 
recommend to domestic commercial entities International Well -Known Brands that are recognized 
in the global market. Support sales of brand products in w ell-known domestic commercial entities. 
Encourage banks and insurance entities to provide support to International Well -Known Brands

IV. Improve services, implement dual -promotion, and create a favorable environment for the

  NOTICE ON ADVANCING STONE, CERAMIC, AND KITCHEN AND BATHROOM  INDUSTRY  
STEADY HEALTHY DEVEL OPMENT TWENTY POLICI ES 
Notice of the General Office of the CPC Nan'an City Committee and the General Office  
of the People's Government of Nan'an City on Implementation of 20 Measures  
for Advancing the Stable and Healthy Development of the Stone  
and Ceramics and the Plumbing/Heating and  
Kitchen/Bathroom Products Industries  
 
Nan Wei Ban (2015) No. 16  
 
All townships (streets) CPC committees (party work committees), the People's Governments 
(offices), the Xuefeng Development Zone party work  committee of and management committee, 
all city units under and financial institutions:  
For the purposes of thoroughly implementing the spirit of Fujian Province People's Government 
Notice on 10 Measures for Advancing the Innovation -Driven Transformation and Stable Growth of 
Industry  (Min Zheng [2015] No. 1) and the Quanzhou City Government's documents related to 
supporting the development of the stone and ceramics and the plumbing/heating and 
kitchen/bathroom products industries and of advancing the conti nuous stable and healthy 
development of this city's stone and ceramics and plumbing/heating and kitchen/bathroom 
products industries, the following measures are set forth in light of the actual circumstances of the 
city: 
 
I. Strengthening Financial Securit y 
 
1. All banking institutions are to strengthen credit availability for the stone and ceramics and 
plumbing/heating and kitchen/bathroom products industries to ensure that the growth rate of 
credit availability in 2015 is no lower than its level in the sa me period in 2014. Service types such 
as revolving loans and annual review loans are to be rationally used, and loan repayment methods 
such as installment repayment plans are to be reasonably applied to reduce the repayment 
pressure of enterprises. The pro vince's "five prohibitions" are to be strictly and thoroughly 
implemented by supporting the use by enterprises of governmental emergency funds or industry 
association's industry development funds to refinance and renew loans, and loans should be issued 
within one day as long as the application materials are complete. On the basis of the Quanzhou 
City fund for supporting the development of the stone and ceramics and the plumbing/heating and 
kitchen/bathroom products industries (RMB five million yuan for each  industry) and with the 
increase of the development funds for each of the two industries to RMB 200 million yuan, the 
supporting ratio of government guidance funds for the development of the stone and ceramics and 
the plumbing/heating and kitchen/bathroom products industries is to be raised from 10% to 20%, 
and the maximum contribution to investment is to be raised from RMB 10 million yuan to RMB 20 
million yuan. (The city office of finance service takes the lead with cooperation from the Bureau of 
Finance,  the People's Bank of China, and the banking regulatory office)  
 
2. Financial institutions are to be guided to not list the stone and ceramics and plumbing/heating 
and kitchen/bathroom products industry as an industry type with restrictions or to be given 
selective support. Where the authority of the higher -level financial institution is involved, the city -
level branch institution should immediately report it to the superior level and endeavor to cancel or 
suspend the execution of discriminatory provisions . Where improvements are not made according 
to requirements, the authorized functional department of the city government will issue a 
"reminder letter" to be circulated city -wide and will restrict the financial institution's participation 
in governmental fi nancial services within the jurisdiction of Nan'an City for one year, requiring 
them to gradually withdraw from fiscal funds deposit services except in the case of agreement 
deposits. (The city office of finance service takes the lead with cooperation from  the finance 
bureau, the People's Bank of China, and the banking regulatory office)  
 
3. Enterprises are to be encouraged to make use of inventory pledge loans. Subsidies are to be 
provided for the supervision fees that are actually paid to the supervisory agency for enterprise 
inventory pledge loans in the amount of 30% of the supervision fees for each RMB 10 million yuan 
of daily average loan balance, not to exceed RMB 50,000 yuan for each RMB 10 million yuan. (The G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 72 - 
 
  city bureau of finance takes the lead wit h cooperation from the economic and trade bureau, the 
foreign economic and trade bureau, and the People's Bank of China)  
 
4. For enterprises that have operations difficulties or capital chain cut -off due to involvement with 
private high interest rate loans , it is to be handled and resolved according to the appropriate 
methods stipulated in laws and regulations, such as ordering the high interest rate lender to stop 
charging a high interest rate and deducting from the principle the amount of interest paid th at 
exceeds four times the People's Bank of China benchmark loan interest rate of the same period. 
Those that use illegal means such as repayment demand and debt collection with the threat of 
violence will be resolutely prosecuted, and where there is allege d criminal behavior, criminal 
liability will be investigated according to law. (The city public security bureau takes the lead with 
cooperation from the court and procuratorate)  
 
II. Optimizing certification handling services  
 
5. The speed of land use righ ts certification handling is to be increased, and the time limit for 
administrative approval is to be shortened to within 50% of the statutory time limit, with review 
and reporting to the city government for approval to be completed within eight business d ays. 
Land use rights security pledge registration service is to be improved, and a special window for 
enterprises to process land security pledge registration is to be opened for priority processing. 
Enterprises are to be encouraged to build multi -story pl ants, and the floor area ratio of the land is 
to be increased (not to exceed the land transfer conditions) and when enterprises add more stories 
to their plants or renovate and rebuild old plants on the original construction land while meeting 
the requirem ents of zoning and safety and while not changing the original land use purpose, the 
land transfer fee is not to be charged and the urban infrastructure support fees are to be waived. 
(The city bureau of state land and resources takes the lead with cooperat ion from the Bureau of 
Finance and administrative service center)  
 
6. Property ownership certificate retroactive clear -up procedures are to be simplified, and the 
enterprise property ownership rights registration time limit is to be shortened from the stat utory 
30 business days to eight business days. With the exception of construction projects for personnel 
intensive sites (including production and processing workshops and employee dormitories for labor 
intensive type enterprises), where problems are disco vered in the onsite inspection by fire safety 
and other departments and the enterprise is required to make improvements, the enterprise is to 
provide a written improvement guarantee, and the property ownership certificate registration can 
be processed when  the enterprise can ensure usage safety and promise to supervise the 
improvements by a certain date after the inspection by the local township or town government of 
the enterprise. In the situation where the enterprise provides a promise to pay the related  taxes 
(urban infrastructure support fee and construction safety tax) and the administrative penalties (for 
zoning and construction work) by a certain date (not to exceed the retroactive clear -up time limit 
of 31 December 2015), the enterprise's "property ownership certificate" can be processed after 
review by the local township or town government and the related authoritative departments and 
after receiving approval by the related governmental leaders -in-charge. The copy of the property 
ownership certifica te can first be provided to the enterprise to apply for a line of credit from a 
bank, but the property ownership certificate can only be released and security pledge procedures 
be processed after the enterprise fully pays the related taxes and administrati ve penalties as well 
as collects the fire safety acceptance passing certificate. (The city administrative service center 
and the Bureau of Housing and Development takes the lead with cooperation from the Bureau of 
Urban and Rural Planning, the Bureau of Ad ministrative Law Enforcement, the state taxation 
bureau, the local taxation bureau, and the fire department)  
 
7. The processing of enterprise environmental impact assessments and pollutant discharge 
licenses is to be optimized, and the step of annual pollu tant discharge license inspection is to be 
canceled (to be implemented according to the new regulations after the Ministry of Environmental 
Protection issues the Regulation on the Administration of Pollutant Discharge Licenses ). The 
procedures for processi ng certificate renewal applications by certified enterprises within 60 days of 
the expiry date are to be loosened by shortening the processing time limits and raising certification 
processing efficiency, thereby providing convenience for enterprises when h andling eco -friendly 
loan financing. (The city environmental protection bureau takes the lead with cooperation from the 
People's Bank of China)  
 
III. Encouraging merger and reorganization  G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 73 - 
 
   
8. The general taxpayer after merger and reorganization can be dire ctly recognized as the value 
added tax general taxpayer according to the enterprise's application. Deferred taxation can be 
granted for the income tax that is part of the process of enterprise merger and reorganization and 
that meets the conditions related  to special tax processing. The input tax amounts that are not yet 
deducted in the process of general taxpayer merger and reorganization can be carried over to the 
new value added tax general taxpayer after merger and reorganization and can continue to be 
deducted. Expedited service is to be used for handling the procedures for real estate and land use 
rights transfer and equity transfer involved in the process of assets reorganization when 
enterprises collectively transfer all or a portion of the physical assets and the related creditor's 
rights, debt, and labor to the newly reorganized enterprise. Local enterprises involved in major 
merger and reorganization are to proactively solicit the province level for subsidy funds for the 
preliminary fees for the oc currence of the major enterprise merger and reorganization, such as 
fees for assessment, auditing, and legal consultation as well as the merger and acquisition loan 
interest. The local level will provide subsidies of 5% of the merger and acquisition amount , with 
individual subsidies not to exceed RMB five million yuan. (The city development and reform

Implementing Opinion to Further Promote Henan Province International Well -Known 
Brands Cultivation and Construction Work  
 
 
Entering the new century under the correct leadership of the Pr ovincial Party Committee and 
provincial government, our province has constantly and persistently implemented the main 
strategy of opening up to the outside world, continually expanded the scope of foreign trade, 
continually increased our contributions to t he national economy and constantly increased the 
driving effect on economic development. Currently, export goods have a low added value and 
technical content, lack intellectual property rights, and the number of indigenous brand products is 
small, are part icularly lacking core technology, and so forth. These have become the main 
problems restricting the further rapid development of foreign trade in our province. These 
Implementing Opinions (referred to below as the "Implementing Opinions") to Further Promot e 
Henan Province International Well -Known Brands Cultivation and Construction Work (referred to 
below as the "Export Name Brands") have been specially formulated according to the Guiding 
Opinions on Promoting Cultivation of International Well -Known Brands  issued by the Ministry of 
Commerce and eight ministries and commissions, and in light of actual conditions in our province, 
in order to comprehensively and thoroughly implement the spirit of "Accelerating the Cultivation of 
China's Multinational Companies and International Well -Known Brands" put forward by the 
17th National Congress of the CPC, accelerate the cultivation and development of our province's 
international well -known brand product exports and transform the foreign trade growth mode.  
 
I. Have a unified understanding and clear goals for further promoting the work of cultivating 
and building Henan Province "Export Name Brands."  
 
Vigorously implementing an export product strategy, strengthening indigenous brand building and 
cultivating a number of " Export Name Brands" are important measures for improving the 
international competitiveness of our province's export products. They are natural choices for 
increasing the quality and efficiency of foreign trade growth, are necessary paths to take in 
promoti ng sustainability and development of foreign trade in our province, and are objective 
requirements in order for Henan's trade to follow the example of the Central and Western regions 
as we achieve the rise of the Central region.  
 
Guiding ideology: Guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thoughts of the 
"Three  Represents," carry through and implement the scientific concept of development, conduct 
planning according to "Accelerate Cultivation of Multinational Companies and International 
Well-Known B rands" put forward by the 17th National Congress of the CPC, and vigorously 
implement the export brand strategy. Use the principles of market orientation and using 
enterprises as the vehicles, with government encouragement and guidance to improve the polic y 
system and working mechanisms for cultivating International Well -Known Brands. Use the 
provision of universal public services and creating a nurturing environment as ways to 
continuously promote enterprise cultivation of international well -known brands; adopt the 
cultivation method of "use the experience of a selected spot to promote the work in the entire 
area"; and base our work on the widespread mobilization and active encouragement of enterprises 
to develop indigenous brands. Focus on fostering indige nous brands that have good basic 
qualifications and major development potential to comprehensively enhance the overall level of 
Hunan's indigenous brands and create a number of International Well -Known Brands that have 
greater influence on the internationa l market, and to realize transformation of the trade growth 
mode.  
 
Objectives: By the end of the 12th Five-Year Plan, strive for 50% of enterprises in our 
province to have indigenous brands; work hard to have 10 or more enterprises listed as Ministry of 
Commerce "International Well -Known Brands for Focused Cultivation and Development"; strive to 
create one or two world -class International Well -Known Brands; and create a system for 
cultivating and building Henan "Export Name Brands" so that cities subordinat e to the province can 
foster leading Export Name Brands.  
 G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 152 - 
 
  II. Strengthen guidance, link work at selected spots with that of the entire area, and create a 
multi-level comprehensive mechanism for cultivating Export Name Brands.  
 
In light of the late start an d poor foundation of our province's indigenous export brand building 
and the reality of unbalanced development between cities and industries, adopt the method of 
"link work at selected spots with that of the entire area, and highlight key points." On one h and, 
strengthen publicity in striving to create export brands, encourage and support export enterprises 
to actively engage in foreign trademark registrations, implement internationally accepted quality 
control systems, environmental management systems and industry certifications, establish foreign 
marketing agencies and after -sales service systems, and other foundational work for indigenous 
brand building to comprehensively increase the overall level of export product indigenous brand 
building in our provin ce. On the other hand, highlight key points, integrate and use various policy 
support measures and concentrate efforts on the focused cultivation of a number of our province's 
indigenous export brands that have good basic qualifications and major developme nt potential, 
and strive to create a provincial -level "Export Name Brand" cultivation system in a relatively short 
time. 
 
Establish and improve a multi -level, comprehensive "Export Name Brand" cultivation mechanism. 
All cities subordinate to the province, counties with expanded authority and industries, in light of 
regional economic characteristics and the industrial development situation, can formulate an 
"Export Name Brand" development plan for their region or industry and use targeted support 
policies to  carry out focused cultivation. Implement dynamic management, regular adjustment, 
and survival of the fittest and continually focus on advanced, representative and brand -effective 
targets for cultivation.  
 
Establish and promote an "Export Name Brand" manag ement system. All departments [should] 
closely coordinate and concentrate efforts to quickly establish an "Export Name Brand" graded 
reserve for our province. Strive to have more enterprises listed as national "International 
Well-Known Brands for Focused C ultivation and Development," "China Famous Trademarks" and 
"China Famous Brand Products"; continually increase our province's number of national -level 
"Export Name Brands"; and strive to create world -class "Export Name Brands."  
 
III. Highlight Enterprises as the Primary Actors, and Solidify the Foundation for International 
Well-Known Brand Cultivation Work  
 
It is necessary to give full play to the primary role of enterprises in brand cultivation work. Guide 
enterprises to fully recognize the important role of brands in opening markets, increasing efficiency 
and strengthening competitiveness, and the importance of creating a feasible brand development 
plan. Encourage and support enterprises to increase investment in research and development and 
design, improv e their capacity for innovation in independent research and development, increase 
technical content and added value, enhance the level of processing and manufacturing, and ensure 
product quality and safety. Encourage and support enterprises in the work of completing 
trademark registrations, patent applications, quality management system certifications, 
environmental management system certifications and industry certifications. Encourage and 
support enterprise use of modern means of circulation, creation of marketing models, opening up 
marketing channels and establishing overseas marketing networks and improving after -sales 
service systems. Encourage enterprises to pay attention to fulfilling social responsibilities, 
strengthening integrity system building, a nd respecting and protecting intellectual property rights 
in order to lay a solid foundation for the creation of international well -known brands. Encourage 
enterprises to use brands as a link in asset restructuring and corporate mergers and acquisitions, 
and for creating bigger and stronger enterprises and brands.  
 
IV. Increase Policy Support Efforts, Adopt Comprehensive Cultivation Measures, and Vigorously 
Promote "Export Name Brand" Building  
 
All levels of government and relevant departments should, unde r the principle of not violating 
international agreements, provide support to enterprises actively carrying out "Export Name 
Brand" building. At the same time, strengthen policy support, enhance department cooperation 
and make concerted efforts. In light o f the actual conditions of our province, establish a sound 
support system for provincial -level and higher policy measures for developing "Export Name 
Brands."  
 G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 153 - 
 
  1. Trade support policies: Required import and export quotas for international well -known 
brand  enterprises will be prioritized for reporting and handling. For important exhibitions both at 
home and abroad, name brand export enterprises will receive preference for booth allocation. Set 
up "Export Name Brands" display areas at overseas market opening  activities to introduce and 
recommend our province's name brand export enterprises.  
 
2. Preferential procurement policies: When State agencies and institutions and social 
organizations use government finances to purchase products or services listed in the  commodity 
catalogue, if legally permitted or under equal conditions, preference will be given to the purchase 
of products from Henan Name Brand export enterprises.  
 
3. Policies supporting research and development and technology transformation: Prioritize  
arrangements for guiding name brand export enterprises in line with national industry 
development trends to engage in technology transformation to reduce carbon, save energy and 
reduce pollution. Prioritize the use of national incentive policies for high technology and 
information industry development.  
 
4. Overseas investment and trade policies: Prioritize recommending "Export Name Brand" 
enterprises for expanding foreign investment, and where policy and conditions allow, setting up 
overseas marketing netw orks and the processing, production and assembly of export name brand 
products. Develop international operations and the gradual establishment of international research 
and development, production, marketing and service systems.  
 
5. Measures to facilitate trade: Customs will facilitate clearance for "Export Name Brand" 
enterprises; the inspection and quarantine departments will create and manage a list of excellent 
enterprises and include "Export Name Brand" enterprises on the list, and will prioritize 
recommending them as green channel enterprises; the taxation departments will provide priority 
handling of procedures for refunds (exemptions) and tax examination and approval.  
 
6. Support measures for opening up domestic markets: Encourage the sale of "Export  Name 
Brands" by well -known business enterprises and those participating in the "no counterfeit goods in 
100 cities and 1,000 shops" campaign. Vigorously develop new types of circulation organizations 
and models that meet modern circulation development tre nds such as name brand chain stores, 
franchise stores and specialty shops. Actively promote modern commodity circulation and 
distribution industries, and establish multi -tiered "Export Name Brand" marketing channels.  
 
7. Measures for protecting intellectua l property rights: Encourage and guide "Export Name 
Brand" intellectual property rights to be registered with Customs. Customs will actively provide 
protection at the import and export links and will list "Export Name Brand" products as Customs 
intellectua l property rights for special action and focused protection, severely crack down on 
activities that infringe on rights, and develop and provide a good export environment for "Export 
Name Brand" enterprises.  
 
Give full play to the role of the news media and  use various forms of media to increase publicity 
efforts for our province's implementation of the "Export Name Brand" strategy, to create a public 
opinion atmosphere throughout the province of striving for name brands, developing name brands 
and protectin g name brands, and to create favorable conditions for raising "Export Name Brand" 
visibility and effectiveness.  
 
V. Strengthen leadership, offer mutual support, and establish sound promotion and guarantee 
mechanisms for the development of "Export Name Bran ds." 
 
1. Establish a work coordination group for Henan "Export Name Brands." The member units of 
the Coordination Group (referred to below as the "Coordination Group") are made up of the 
Provincial Department of Commerce, Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Provincial 
Department of Finance, Provincial Science and Technology Department, Zhengzhou Customs, 
Provincial Administration of Taxation and the Henan Entry -Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. 
The group will guide the cultivation and develop ment of "Export Name Brands" throughout the 
province. The Coordination Group's office will be set up in the trade section of the Provincial 
Department of Commerce.  
 G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 154 - 
 
  2. Give full play to our provincial industry associations' role in coordination. Formulate an 
"Export Name Brands" development plan based on industry characteristics and the development 
situation. Within an industry, conduct widespread training and exchanges on creating "Export 
Name Brands," make timely dissemination of related support measures to member enterprises, 
and provide member enterprises' opinion and suggestion feedback to government authorities in 
order to offer good advice to the government and good service to enterprises.  
 
3. Establish an "Export Name Brand" information notification system. Set up a special posting 
on websites of Coordination Group member units to publicize the implementation of "Export Name 
Brand" strategic policies and for timely tracking and understanding of the trends in enterprise 
implementation of "Export Name B rand" strategy. Actively pass on enterprises' successful 
experiences in the process of creating brands and achieving online communications between 
enterprises and the government. Hold Coordination Group meetings on a regular basis for the 
timely exchange o f new ideas and for solving problems arising in the work. Make frequent 
notifications of the work situation and trends in "Export Name Brand" building and on the 
coordination of policy revisions. Establish a Henan "Export Name Brand" enterprise contact and  on-
site consultation system to understand the difficulties encountered in the process of creating 
"Export Name Brands" and for timely feedback to related departments, and also for proposing 
countermeasures and suggestions.  
 
4. Selection of Henan Province  "Export Name Brands." The Provincial Department of Commerce 
will take the lead in drafting selection measures for Henan Province "Export Name Brands" and will 
be responsible for their implementation. Set up a Henan Province "Export Name Brand" evaluation 
committee, the members of which will be from the Provincial Department of Commerce, Provincial 
Development and Reform Commission, Provincial Department of Finance, Provincial Science and 
Technology Department, Zhengzhou Customs, Provincial Administration o f Taxation and the Henan 
Entry -Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, and from among relevant experts. After the initial 
selection by cities subordinate to the province, their selections for Henan "Export Name Brands" 
are handed over to the Henan "Export N ame Brands" evaluation committee for consideration. After 
approval by the evaluation committee with no objections, the Henan "Export Name Brands" will be 
jointly announced to the public. Carry out dynamic management in the selection of Henan Export 
Name Br ands; selections are to be made once every three years and will automatically expire at 
the end of the term, after which they need to be re -evaluated.  
 
All cities subordinate to the province, related departments directly subordinate to the province, 
and in dustries can formulate specific management measures according to these Measures. They 
can also formulate feasible plans for the support and creation of "Export Name Brands." These 
Implementing Opinions will become effective on the date they are issued. In the future we will

The implementation of International Well -Known Brand strategy is an important means to enhance 
the comprehensive strength and cultivate the core competitiveness. It is the inevitable choice to

direction. Actively support those enterprises in establishing technical research and developmen t

Opinion on Accelerating Feicheng Brand Construction, CPC Feicheng Co mmittee, Feicheng 
City People's Government (22 August 2013).  G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71

  OPINION ON ACCELERAT ING FEICHENG BRAND C ONSTRUCTION  
Opinion of China Communist Feicheng City Committee and Feicheng  
City People's Government on Accelerating of Feicheng Brand Construction  
 
 
In order to carry out and deeply implement the series of decisions and arrangements of Provincial 
and Taian City on brand building, accelerate the building of "brand Feicheng," and promote the 
economic transformation and upgrade, the following opinions are her eby proposed.  
 
I. Fully Understanding the Importance and Urgency of Accelerating of Building "Brand  Feicheng"  
 
Brand is the comprehensive manifestation of the technical capabilities, management level, and 
even the overall quality of enterprises as well as an important indication of the quality and level of 
regional economic development. In recent years, the brand building work of our city has achieved 
positive results; the awareness of brand creation has been noticeably heightened at all levels of 
the city;  the proportion of brand economy in the economic aggregate of the city is increasing 
continually; and its promotion of the economic and social development is becoming increasingly 
prominent. Faced with the current new situation where market competition and  resource 
environmental constraint are intensifying, and faced with the new requirements for industrial 
transformation and upgrade of the economic development mode change, our city's pace of brand 
building is still relatively slow; and it lacks self -owned brand with certain competitiveness and 
influence, which is prominently reflected by an overall number of brands that is not large enough, 
a quality level that is not high enough, a brand benefit that is insufficient, and a brand driving 
power that is not s trong enough. The task of brand building is still heavy, and its pressure is still 
high; the brand building work urgently needs to be strengthened. All levels must fully understand 
the importance of accelerating "brand Feicheng" building at the height of a ccelerating the 
economic transformation and upgrade, achieving strengthening the city with brands, and 
enhancing the county economic competitiveness; and earnestly heighten the sense of urgency, 
mission, and responsibility. It is necessary to closely cente r around the characteristics and advantages 
of our city's regional economy; comprehensively raise the product quality level; continuously improve 
the independent innovation capability; put forth effort to cultivate, help and protect a number of brand 
produ cts, brand enterprises, and regional well -known brands; earnestly improve the competitiveness of 
the enterprises and the comprehensive strength of the region; and promote the comprehensive 
coordinated and sustainable development of the city's economy.  
 
II. Clarifying the Guiding Ideology and General Goal of "Brand Feicheng" Building  
 
(1) Guiding Principle. It is necessary to deepen the implementation of the Scientific Outlook on 
Development; regard the change of economic development mode as the mainline; i nsist on letting 
enterprises play the leading role, being market oriented, regarding products as the core, centering 
on quality, and focusing on cultivating and developing the products with core competitiveness, 
high added value, and independent intellectu al property rights; accelerate the formation of a 
number of well -known brands and superior enterprise groups; and drive the improvement of the 
innovation capability of the city with brand building.  
 
(2) General Goal. By 2015, a brand cultivation, developme nt, stimulation and protection 
mechanism shall be initially formed; the number of brands shall be increased significantly; the 
quality shall be improved substantially; and the driving effect of brand building on our city's 
economic and social development s hall be strengthened noticeably.  
 
– Number of brands shall be increased significantly. The city shall strive to achieve more 
than 3,000 of total number of registered trademarks, more than 10 famous Chinese 
trademarks, more than 35 famous trademarks, more t han four geographic indications 
registered as certification marks, more than 30 Shandong well -known brands 
(including well -known service brands), more than two Taian Mayor Quality Awards, 
and more than two Shandong Province internationally well -known brand s. 
 
– The overall product quality shall be improved significantly. The state and provincial 
product quality supervision and random inspection qualified rate shall reach or exceed 
the provincial average level; the quality and safety random test qualified ra tes of main G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 183 -

Administrations for Industry and Commerce, Bureaus of Quality Supervision, and Entry -Exit 
Inspection and Quarantine Bureaus:  
 
 In order to speed up the cultivation of indigenous brands, transform  the foreign trade 
growth mode, and achieve sustainable development of Hunan foreign trade in accordance with the 
Guiding Opinions on Supporting the Development of Name Brands in Exports  (Shang Mao Fa 
[2005] No. 124) jointly issued by the Ministry of Comme rce, the National Development and 
Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the General 
Administration of Customs, the State Administration of Taxation, the State Administration for 
Industry and Commerce, and the G eneral Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and 
Quarantine, and the Implementation Opinions on Supporting the Development of Name Brands in 
Exports  (Hu Shang Mao Fa [2006] No. 15) jointly formulated by the Provincial Department of 
Commerce, De velopment and Reform Commission, Department of Finance, Science and 
Technology Department, Changsha Customs, the Provincial Administration of Taxation, Provincial 
Administration of Industry and Commerce, Quality Supervision Bureau, and the Hunan Entry -Exit 
Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. With vigorous promotion and active participation by related 
departments of government at all levels, industry organizations and a large number of enterprises, 
Hunan has achieved initial results in indigenous brand buildin g, effectively promoted the 
adjustment of the commodity structure, and improved the quality of Hunan's foreign trade 
development.  
 
 In 2009, in order to thoroughly implement the scientific concept of development and to 
further cultivate indigenous brands, the Ministry of Commerce and eight ministries and 
commissions adjusted and improved the Guiding Opinions on Supporting the Development of 
Name Brands in Exports  (Shang Fa Mao [2005] No. 124), changed the phrase "Famous Export 
Brands" to "International Well -Known Brands," and jointly issued Guiding Opinions on Promoting 
the Cultivation of International Well -Known Brands  (Shang Mao Fa [2009] No. 150). To further 
improve the cultivation of Hunan indigenous brands and in accordance with the guiding opinions of 
the eight ministries and commissions, we have formulated these Implementing Opinions while 
simultaneously abolishing the Implementing Opinions on Supporting the Development of Name 
Brands in Exports  (Hu Shang Mao Fa [2006] No. 15) issued on 27 June 2006.  
 
I. A Unified Understanding to Continue Promoting the Cultivation of International Well -Known 
Brands  
 
 The experience of developed nations and China's participation in international competition 
shows that cultivating a number of International Well -Known Bra nds is an important means to 
improve international competitiveness and overall national strength, and is the only way to 
transform from a trade nation to a trade power.  
 In the coming period, it is necessary to be guided by Deng Xiaoping Theory and the 
important thought of the "Three Represents," carry through and implement the scientific concept 
of development, comprehensively implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the CPC 
and the Outline of the 11th Five -Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development  on 
accelerating the cultivation of multinational companies and International Well -Known Brands and 
to vigorously implement brand strategy; use the principles of market orientation, enterprises as 
the vehicles, and government encouragemen t and guidance to improve the policy system and 
working mechanisms for cultivating International Well -Known Brands. Use the provision of 
universal public services and creating a nurturing environment as ways to continuously promote 
enterprise cultivation o f International Well -Known Brands; adopt the cultivation method of "using 
the experience of a selected spot to promote the work in the entire area;" and base our work on 
the widespread mobilization and active encouragement of enterprises to develop indigen ous 
brands. Focus on fostering indigenous brands that have good basic qualifications and major G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 198 - 
 
  development potential to comprehensively enhance the overall level of Hunan's indigenous brands 
and create a number of International Well -Known Brands that have greater influence on the 
international market.  
 
II. An Enterprise Orientation and Pragmatic Cultivation of International Well -Known Brands as the 
Foundation  
 
 Enterprises are the primary source for brand cultivation; give full play to the primary role of 
enterprises in the cultivation of brands, guide enterprises in fully understanding the important role 
of brands in opening new markets, improving efficiency, and strengthening competitiveness; and 
formulate a practical brand development plan. Encourage and support enterprises to increase 
investment in research, development and design; enhance capacity for independent research, 
development, and innovation; increase the technological content and added value of products; and 
improve the level of processing and manufacturing to ensure product quality and safety. 
Encourage and support enterprises to do a good job of trademark registration, patent application, 
quality management system certification, environmental management system certification, and 
industry certi fication. Encourage and support enterprises using modern means of circulation, 
innovative marketing models, opening up marketing channels, establishing overseas sales 
networks, and improving after -sales service. Encourage enterprises to focus on fulfilling  their social 
responsibilities, strengthening the building of the credit system, and respecting and protecting 
intellectual property rights in order to lay a solid foundation for the creation of International 
Well-Known Brands. Encourage enterprises to use  brands as a link in asset restructuring and 
corporate mergers and acquisitions to create bigger and stronger enterprises and brands.  
 
III. Strengthen Policy Guidance to Support Enterprise Creation of International Well -Known Brands  
 
 Relevant government d epartments at all levels should, without violating the obligations of 
our international agreements, provide support to enterprises promoting International Well -Known 
Brand building. At the same time, all government departments should strengthen policy supp ort, 
cooperate with each other, and engage in concerted efforts.

Reform Commission, D epartment of Finance, Science and Technology Department, Changsha

Measures for Assessment and Administration of "Hunan International Well -Known Brands"  and will

the targets for cultivation are advanced and representative. Dynamic management is to be carried

assessmen t will automatically become invalid and a new assessment must be performed. During 
the validity period, the designation of "Hunan International Well -Known Brand" will be suspended 
or revoked if the selected brand's enterprise seriously violates laws or reg ulations, experiences a

Realizing Modernism , the following action plan is put forth for the purposes of c ultivating 
internationally well -known brands and advancing the city's transformation and upgrading of 
foreign trade.  
 
I.  Guiding Concepts  
 
Adhering to the guidance of the scientific concept of development  and closely centering around the 
"double leads" wo rk goals of the city party committee and city government, accelerate the 
transformation of the mode of foreign trade growth, with raising foreign trade core 
competitiveness as the goal; with enterprise, industry, and export base brand building as the main 
line; with the vigorous cultivation of a group of internationally well -known brands and the all -
around increase of the contribution rate of indigenous brands toward foreign trade as the priority; 
and with the construction of a rule -of-law environment, poli cy environment, and market 
environment beneficial for the implementation of the international branding strategy as the 
guarantee. With efforts focused on refining brand building mechanisms with "guidance by the 
government, enterprise as the mainstay, coope ration between departments, and participation by 
society," comprehensively advance the work of cultivating internationally well -known brands, 
making a new contribution to our city taking the lead in basically realizing modernism.  
 
II.  Main Goals  
 
By 2013,  the policy protection mechanism, the work advancement mechanism, and the public 
service mechanisms for the citywide implementation of the international branding strategy are to 
be basically formed. The capabilities of brand cultivation, protection, and ma nagement are to be 
comprehensively strengthened. There [should be] 80 or more city -level brands incubated and 
cultivated, and 60 or more provincial -level brands consolidated and strengthened, with the exports G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 305 - 
 
 of International Well -Known Brand enterprises m aking up a proportion of 20% or more of total 
exports. The internationally well -known brand team is to be significantly strengthened, and the 
degree of international branding is to be greatly increased. The competitiveness, influence, and 
contribution of b rands to the citywide economy are to be comprehensively improved, and great 
efforts are to be made to build this city into a pacesetter area and a demonstration zone for 
province -wide brand building.  
 
A.  Enhancing the competitiveness of traditional indust ries through international branding: With 
the mainstay enterprises as labor -intensive enterprises represented by the textile, apparel, and 
light industrial hardware industries, indigenous innovation is to be strengthened, labor efficiency is 
to be increase d, and brand quality is to be strengthened while cultivating 60 or more 
internationally well -known brands in traditional industries across the city.  
 
B.  Expanding the international market share of advantageous industries through international 
branding: W ith the electronics, information technology, and machinery manufacturing industries as 
main bodies, core technologies are to be mastered, global networks are to be established, and 
brand value is to be innovatively developed while cultivating 70 or more in ternationally well -known 
brands in the advantageous industries across the city.  
 
C.  Boosting emerging industry leapfrog -style development through international branding: With 
the new energy and biopharmaceuticals industries as the core enterprises, envir onmentally -
friendly and low -carbon operations are to be promoted, high -end international competition is to be 
engaged in, and brand connotation is to be shaped while cultivating 10 or more internationally 
well-known brands in the emerging industries across  the city.  
 
III.  Key Work  
 
While comprehensively implementing the international branding strategy, new goals are to be 
clarified and new measures are to be implemented. New breakthroughs are to be made in the 
areas of refining cultivation mechanisms, boos ting indigenous innovation, accelerating the pace of 
"going global," promoting putting equal stress on domestic and overseas markets, exploring 
diversified operations, advancing clustered development, and strengthening interaction between 
departments.  
 
A.  Improving cultivation mechanisms: The four main mechanisms of evaluation, advancement, 
publicity, and protection of the city's internationally well -known brand cultivation work is necessary 
to be continuously improved. Using the cultivation mode with guid ance by the government and 
with enterprise as the mainstay, international branding "training year" and "promotion year" 
activities need to be carried out among the foreign trade enterprises across the city, and phased 
and grouped training that centers arou nd the theme of brand building need to be provided for 
enterprise management personnel. Based on the actual situations of each region, the key 
industries and key enterprises with good foundations and good conditions need to be selected for 
the concentratio n of strengths and the strengthening of problem tackling while taking the 
development road of internationally well -known brand cultivation that has a distinctive Wuxi style. 
At the same time, combine the brand building characteristics of different enterpri ses, categorized 
guidance that is based on the situations of the enterprise's scale, specific industry, growth stage, 
and position in the industry chain to achieve quantitative accumulation and qualitative 
breakthroughs as part of gradual improvement.  
 
B.  Boosting indigenous innovation: Indigenous innovation ability supports the increase of 
independent intellectual property rights and the enhancement of brand value and significance. To 
cultivate International Well -Known Brands, it is necessary for enterpri ses to continuously 
encouraged and guided to boost scientific and technological innovation and to strengthen core 
competitiveness with indigenous intellectual property rights as the foundation. It is necessary to 
guide enterprises to integrate brand cultiv ation as part of the full process of the enterprise's own 
marketing, design development, production, and after -sales service to enhance brand cultivation 
capability. It is necessary to combine the work of cultivating International Well -Known Brands with 
the city's work of "Double Leads " [taking the lead in building a comparatively well -off society and 
taking the lead in realizing modernization] . Based on the different characteristics of this city's 
traditional industries, advantageous industries, and emergi ng industries and while following the 
development directions of promoting high -end products and services, promoting local 
characteristics, promoting economies of scale, promoting industry clustering, and being G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 306 - 
 
  internationally oriented, the leading role of enterprise is to be given full play, and the increase the 
support strength of government in the establishment and refinement of an innovation system that 
combines research and development, results transformation, standards setting, industry growth, 
market cultivation, and support by talented personnel.  
 
C.  Accelerating the pace of "going global": "Going global" is the best path for the brand 
extension and channel expansion of enterprises. It is necessary to encourage enterprises in "going 
global" in terms of strengthening the influence of "Made in Wuxi" on international markets through 
methods such as registration, mergers and acquisitions, leasing, and cooperation. Encourage 
enterprises in "going global" in terms of conducting international operations thro ugh setting up 
production and R&D bases and self -operated marketing networks overseas. Encourage enterprises 
in "going global" in terms of raising the level of international influence of self -owned brands 
through the integration of resource factors on a gl obal scale.  
 
D.  Promoting "equal stress on domestic and overseas markets": To deal with the changes of 
the domestic and international economic situations, expanding domestic sales markets and putting 
equal stress on domestic and overseas markets while mai ntaining international market share is an 
important strategy for seeking more room for the brand enterprise's future survival and 
development. It is necessary to encourage export -based brand enterprises to expand into the 
domestic market, bring into fully play the advantages of their product quality and management 
style, and research the design, development, and establishment of a suitable domestic marketing 
network for selling products for the domestic market, and create a new advantage for indigenous 
brands. It is necessary to improve the ability of the city's brand enterprises to navigate "the two 
markets and the two types of resources", and cultivate a group of backbone enterprises that 
balance the domestic and international markets, have indigenous bran ds, and that excel at 
international operations to expand the room for enterprises to become bigger and stronger.  
 
E.  Exploring diversified operations: "Made in China" is the foundation of "Created by China," 
and it is necessary to guide enterprises to cor rectly understand the relationship between 
"outsourcing for other brands" and "having an indigenous brand." Encourage enterprises, based on 
their own actual conditions, to learn from outsourcing for other brands and master state -of-the-art 
technologies and  management concepts to gain stable profitability. Gradually expand the exports 
of their indigenous brand products through detailed market research, clear brand positioning, 
unique cultural significance, and distinctive products, thus raising the name reco gnition and word -
of-mouth reputation of their brands.  
 
F.  Advancing clustered development: With the city's eight or more provincial -level export bases 
as the carrier, [we] will cultivate International Well -Known Brands and strengthen export base 
construct ion combined together, advance the intensive development of international branding, and 
build export bases into the model zones where brands are clustered together. With International 
Well-Known Brands as the main support, support the development of export  bases into "the three 
highs and one optimization" areas of high technology, high added value, high ancillary support, 
and optimization and economy of scale to form the distinctive advantages, clustering advantages, 
and first -mover advantages of export bas es. Give priority support to the development of 
international branding of the export bases of new energy in Guangfu, apparel fabric and mew 
materials in Jiangyin, ceramics and power cables in Yixing, and motorcycles and electric vehicles in 
Xishan to bring  into full play the demonstration and guiding effect of leading enterprises. Improve 
the quality inspection, research and development and information services and other public service 
platforms, and encourage export bases in carrying out collective tradema rks and geographic 
indication marks registration. Strive to build a number of regional brands with international 
influence.  
 
G.  Strengthening cooperation among departments: Strengthen the interdepartmental 
cooperation among the Ministry of Commerce and cu stoms, border inspection, taxation, foreign 
exchange management, and other departments, and provide trade facilitation measures for brand 
enterprises. Strengthen cooperation with the departments of industry and commerce, quality 
inspection, and intellectua l property rights, improve the sense of enterprise protection and 
intellectual property rights and to form a protection system that mutually combines the three 
factors of self -protection, government protection according to law, and judicial rights protecti on. 
Strengthen cooperation with the departments of human resources and social security and of 
environmental protection is to supervise brand enterprises in fulfilling social responsibility. 
Strengthen cooperation with the news media, increase the degree of  international branding G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 307 - 
 
 publicity and to create a good environment of public opinion for building, growing, and protecting 
International Well -Known Brands. Strengthen cooperation with industry associations, and bring 
their coordination services into full p lay. All departments are to form cohesive strength and jointly 
advance the construction of international branding to create the good external environment for 
brand development.  
 
IV.  Safeguard Measures  
 
A.  Strengthening organizational leadership: Form a W uxi City international branding strategy 
work leading group, with a city leader in charge acting as the group leader and with the group 
members consisting of the directors of the city bureau of commerce, development and reform 
commission, economy and infor matization commission, science and technology bureau, finance 
bureau, human resources and social security bureau, agricultural commission, environmental 
protection bureau, foreign exchange management bureau, state taxation bureau, Wuxi city 
customs adminis tration, industry and commerce administration, quality inspection bureau, and 
entry -exit inspection and quarantine bureau. This leading group is to provide coordination and 
organization of the implementation of the citywide international branding strategy.  The leading 
group office is to be set up at the city bureau of commerce and is to be in charge of everyday 
organization and coordination work. Tasks in the areas of refining cultivation mechanisms, 
boosting indigenous innovation, accelerating the pace of "going global," promoting putting equal 
stress on domestic and overseas markets, exploring diversified operations, and advancing 
clustered development are to be broken down for each region and each relevant department, with 
clearly stated responsibilities and with cooperation in control and management. Work mechanisms 
with responsibilities delineated by city, county -level city, and district, with coordinated interaction 
among departments, and with broad participation by society are to be formed.  
 
B.  Refini ng policies and measures: Strengthen the use of policies and measures of all 
departments that are directly related to brand building, such as special campaigns for prosecuting 
illegal infringement of trademark rights, trademark registration, and trademark protection. 
Properly and sufficiently use policies and measures that are helpful for promoting brand building, 
such as improving enterprise innovation ability through technology conversion projects, the 
categorized management of foreign trade enterprises b y customs and inspection departments, and 
providing "green channel" (express lane) services. Research, formulate, and widely promote new 
policies and measures. For example, guide enterprises to establish and refine brand cultivation 
management systems and assessment systems, and guide financial institutions to support the use 
of brand assets by enterprises in mortgage financing according to law. Further improve 
mechanisms of government guidance, market operation, social participation, and diversified 
invest ment.  
 
C.  Strict supervision and assessment: Regulations for the goals and tasks and the assessment 
of the international branding three -year action plan are to be formulated, and the work of 
internationally well -known brand cultivation is to be included i n the citywide open economy 
assessment and incentives regulations. All county -level cities and districts are required to 
formulate corresponding regulations and strengthen assessment. All regions and all departments 
are required to formulate the specific a nnual work advancement plans based on this action plan, 
clarifying responsibilities and progress requirements and listing key enterprises and key industries 
for intensified cultivation. The city's international branding strategy work leading team is to 
regularly provide supervision and guidance for the implementation of international branding 
strategies of all regions and all departments to ensure that all goals and tasks are thoroughly 
implemented.

As approved by the city people's government, the Implementing Opinion on Lianyungang City 
Support ing Foreign Trade Steady Growth is hereby printed and distributed to you for you to

Implementing Opinion on Lianyungang City Supporting Fore ign Trade Steady Growth  
 
For the thorough implementation of the spirit of the Several Opinions of the General Office of the 
State Council on Supporting the Steady Growth of Foreign Trade  and the General Office of the 
Provincial Government Notice on the Pri nting and Distributing of the Jiangsu Province 
Implementation Plan for Supporting the Stable Growth of Foreign Trade , this Opinion on advancing 
the city's healthy and stable development of foreign trade is issued as follows:  
 
I. Exerting full efforts on ad vancing export growth  
 
1. Vigorously expanding into international markets: Enterprises are to be guided to closely focus 
on the opportunities of the continuously re -warming markets of Europe and North America, and 
the work of the in -depth development of th e European and North American markets is to be 
properly handled. The stable growth of the city's exports to the emerging markets of Russia, 
Africa, Latin America, and Oceania is to be proactively expanded, and the degree of fiscal support 
for enterprises p articipating in exhibitions in emerging markets is to be increased. In addition to 
the support policy for subsidizing booth fees, transportation expenses of no greater than 
RMB 20,000 per exhibition can also be subsidized according to the actual situation.  Close attention 
should be paid to the continuously shrinking export markets of Hong Kong, Japan, and South 
Korea, and new growth points should be proactively searched for. The major opportunity of the 
China –South Korea Free Trade Agreement talks achieving  an initial breakthrough should be seized 
by building a platform of economic cooperation between China and South Korea and 
comprehensively expanding trade and investment cooperation with South Korea. With the city 
development zone and the Eastern, Central,  and Western Region Cooperation Demonstration Area 
Pilot Zone as the main carriers, economic and trade ties with Japan should be moved even closer 
together, proactively undertaking transfer of Japan's manufacturing industry and expanding trade 
with Japan. Proactive support should be given to small and medium -sized enterprises for 
expanding into international markets, for which funds support of no less than RMB two million 
should be sought each year. Initiative must be taken to make use of the export platfor ms of more 
mature trade exhibitions such as the China Export Commodities Fair, the East China Fair, and 
professional exhibitions of international brands. Innovations should be made to the style of 
exhibition organization, and the cost of exhibition partici pation by enterprises should be lowered, 
while more small and medium -sized enterprises should be supported in participating in exhibitions. 
The role of Lianyungang as a key portal for east -west two -way opening -up and as a sea -land hub 
for the "Belt and Roa d" construction must be proactively publicized, and all efforts must be put 
into properly handling the China (Lianyungang) Silk Road International Logistics Expo. 
(Responsible departments: City Commerce Bureau, Finance Bureau, and Trade Promotion 
Associati on) 
 
2. Vigorously developing international trade in services: The city's opinion on developing trade and 
services is to be released and promoted, and a trade in services statistics and assessment system G/SCM/Q2/CHN/71  
 
- 427 - 
 
 is to be gradually established. The new industry typ e and function of trade in services is to be 
proactively cultivated, and the imports and exports of service industries such as software and 
information services, transport services, financial services, and travel services are to be developed 
in a prioritiz ed way. Support is to be given to the development of the maritime shipping service 
industry, such as ship trading, ship management, shipping agency, shipping consultation, ship 
technology, and maritime arbitration. The establishment of a port customs manag ement mode 
that is mutually adaptable with the characteristics of trade and service is to be explored. Full play 
is to be given to the effectiveness of the Lianyungang City international business talent training 
platform, and the clustering effect of the p rovince -level international service outsourcing 
demonstration area is to be promoted. An environment beneficial for the development of service 
outsourcing is to be created, with hands -on business training and strengthening of the trade talent 
team. Interna tional well -known logistics corporations are to be brought in, and international 
logistics businesses are to be proactively expanded, strengthening the branching -out effect that 
the port has for the region that runs along the continental bridge. (Responsib le departments: City 
Commerce Bureau, Port Commission, Finance Bureau, and Economy and Informatization

II. Encouraging the expansion of imports  
 
3. Vigorously developing import trade: Full use must be made of the encouragement policies of 
national and provincial import interest subsidies and tax reduction and exemption to guarantee 
that the effect of "everything appropriately declared and nothing left out" is achieved. The imports 
of advanced technological equipment, key components, raw materia ls, and consumer goods in 
market demand are to be expanded. Relying on key construction projects, the study, absorption, 
and innovation of imported technology is to be advanced. Encouragement and support is to be 
given to enterprises to take advantage of t he timing when international primary product prices are 
trending lower to import commodities and to establish resources and energy reserves. According 
to the national import interest subsidy standards and in consideration of the actual situation of the 
city's industries, support is to be given for items that meet the encouragement categories in the 
national Catalog of Technologies and Products Encouraged to Be Imported, newly listed equipment 
items, and advanced technologies to be imported. Funds support of  no less than RMB three million

Minerals Trade Center, the Zall Group Lianyungang Inland Port Center, the Port Group Bulk 
Commodities (Iron Ore) Trade Center, and the Donghai County Agricultural Products (Fresh Cut 
Flower Bulbs) Import Trade Center. Proactive measures  should be taken to seek to make 
Lianyungang into a pilot program port for expanding the national "port of departure tax rebate 
policy," and proactive measures should be taken to seek to restore Lianyungang as a whole 
automobile import port, with the const ruction of an imported automobile trading market. The 
construction of a Lianyungang import inspection and quarantine designated port such as for grain 
should be advanced. High -quality agricultural product import trading and processing production 
businesses  such as for wheat should be vigorously developed. Import trading platforms that 
combine the functions of business flow, material flow, funds flow, and information flow together 
and that combine brick -and-mortar markets and e -commerce platforms together sh ould be 
created. A certain level of funds support can be provided for province -level import commodity 
trade centers newly recognized in 2014. (Responsible departments: City Commerce Bureau, 
Finance Bureau, Port Commission, Customs Administration, and Commo dity Inspection 
Administration)  
 
5. Expanding important resources imports: Efforts should be made to obtain national and 
provincial support for this city's crude oil and ore important resources reserves infrastructure, and 
the imports of important resource s reserves should be expanded. The work of refining -chemical 
integration project construction should be properly completed, and a greater number of important 
resources quotas should be obtained for enterprises. (Responsible departments: City Development 
and Reform Commission, Commerce Bureau, and Poet Authority)

includes the Import and Export Food Safety Bureau of the General Administration of Quality 
Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine; the Jiangsu Province Inspection and Quarantine Bureau; 
and the Lianyungang City People's Government is to be promoted to jointly support the 
development of Lian yungang import and export food trade and the construction of an export -
oriented agricultural industry chain. The work of city -level export base construction review is to be 
started up, and those that pass as city -level export bases are to be recommended to  apply as 
province -level or national -level export bases. Funds support is to be provided for key product 
export base construction and export system construction. Policy support of no more than RMB

Longhai -Lanxin Railway is to be strengthened, and innovation of the regional customs clearance 
mode as supported by "decl aration to local (inland) customs while obtaining clearance at ports," 
"local declaration and local clearance of customs," and "paperless customs transfer procedures" is 
to be promoted and refined. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspect ion, and 
Quarantine should be petitioned to research innovations for the special management measures for 
continental bridge inspection and quarantine and the contents of cooperation. Reforms and 
innovations for adapting to "the three mutual aspects" work s upervision mode are to be explored. 
The effectiveness of the China -South Korea (Lianyungang) Land -Sea Intermodal Transportation 
Pilot Program Port is to be magnified, and the trial implementation of China -South Korea customs, 
inspection, and quarantine res ults mutual recognition and trading cargo data exchange sharing 
mechanisms are to be promoted to create the most convenient port hub for the westward landing

City Port Commission, Customs Administration, and Commodity Inspection Administration)  
 
10. Making the continental bridge cross -border transport ation bigger and stronger: The 
opportunity of the construction of the "Belt and Road" should be seized, fully releasing the 
development potential of the East Longhai economic belt and further magnifying the 
comprehensive effect of coastal development. The unique advantages of being at the land -sea 
intersection point of the "Belt and Road" must be brought into full play, and the construction of the 
National Demonstration Area for the Cooperation Among China's Eastern, Central, and Western
