All kinds of raw materials are scattered at will

……

The environment is staggering.

The anchor with more than 200,000 fans brings the goods.

"Diet candy" was found to contain illegal drugs.

"online celebrity" slimming products bought by consumers.

How many pits are there?

Previously, Tongling Municipal Market Supervision Bureau received complaints from consumers, claiming that a trial package of "slimming candy" was purchased through WeChat transfer on the live broadcast platform, and a series of uncomfortable reactions occurred after taking it.

Law enforcement officers of Tongling Municipal Market Supervision Bureau preliminarily judged that sibutramine, a banned drug, was added to the tablet candy by using rapid detection method, and immediately filed an investigation and conducted legal inspection on the tablet candy.

The test results show that

The content of sibutramine in this product is 44.8 mg/g.

Law enforcement officers of Tongling Municipal Market Supervision Bureau found in the investigation that two sellers of this "slimming candy" had more than 200,000 fans on the live broadcast platform, and their account names were "Extreme Energy g-" and "Qin Qin (couple’s daily life)". At the same time, they also advertised and sold this "slimming candy" in the WeChat circle of friends.

Tongling Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, together with the public security organs, went to Zhengzhou to inspect the production and processing places of the "slimming candy" according to the clues. Two production and processing dens were discovered and destroyed at the scene, and 20 tablets and capsules production equipment were seized, involving more than 300 kilograms of pressed candy and raw materials, and 12 suspects were arrested.

Severe cases can lead to cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction.

Sibutramine was once banned.

Sibutramine was first marketed in the United States in 1998, because it can inhibit the appetite center, promote the body’s stomach fullness and reduce appetite, and was once used as a weight loss drug. However, a large number of adverse reactions of sibutramine have been reported at home and abroad in the past ten years.

Zhang Shige, chief pharmacist of Peking University Fourth Clinical Medical College and beijing jishuitan hospital Pharmacy Department, said:

Sibutramine has the effects of raising blood pressure and accelerating heart rate, which can cause cardiovascular adverse reactions such as increased heart rate, palpitation and elevated blood pressure, and even lead to cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction in severe cases. Sibutramine can also cause insomnia, headache and other problems. In severe cases, it can cause abnormal thinking, emotional disorder, mental anxiety, limb spasm, epilepsy, mania and so on, and even lead to suicide.

In 2010, sibutramine was suspended or withdrawn from the market in 68 countries, including China. However, due to its weight-loss effect, illegal addition has been repeatedly banned.

Zhang Shige said:

The safety of drugs comes before the curative effect. If they are unsafe, no matter how good the curative effect is, they cannot be used. According to the case analysis of clinical medication, sibutramine does not have serious adverse reactions only when it is eaten in a large amount and lasts for a long time, but may also have serious adverse reactions once occasionally, or have adverse effects on future generations.

The production workshop is messy.

The price of profiteering "slimming candy" can be turned 30 times.

Law enforcement officers found the workshop of the "slimming candy" in a village in Huiji District, Zhengzhou City. There were many equipments such as mixers, granulators, tabletting machines, sugar coating machines and manual capsule filling machines everywhere in the simple brick house, and the production table was covered with oil stains and old scales. All kinds of dextrin, talcum powder, microcrystalline cellulose and other raw materials are piled in the corner; Pills are scattered all over the floor and room, and the finished "slimming candy" is packed in large plastic bags and plastic buckets, waiting to be wrapped in a layer of foam film, packed in cartons and delivered to buyers.

Tablet processing dens.

According to the account of the illegal operator, the pressed candy and slimming capsules produced by this production and processing den were sold to the middlemen in Zhanjiang, Guangdong at the price of 0.8 yuan per capsule, and then sold by the middlemen to online celebrity with goods in Anhui and Shandong at the price of 1.6 yuan per capsule. The online celebrity with goods was made into small packages and sold to the victims at the price of 269 yuan/bag (10 capsules), and the price was more than 30 times.

According to the investigation and verification by the public security organs, the raw materials of sibutramine purchased and sold by the parties are priced according to the purity, which is generally about 7,000 yuan per kilogram. However, the content of sibutramine in this product is 44.8mg/g, which is less than 5% of the whole. The rest components are composed of dextrin, talcum powder, microcrystalline cellulose and other raw materials. According to the market price, the price of dextrin per kilogram is about 5 yuan, and talcum powder is often sold by tons, and the price per ton is usually several hundred yuan.

26 million tons of old clothes a year are thrown into the trash can. What is the difficulty in recycling old clothes?

  The bottom of the pressure box takes up too much space, so it is wasteful to throw it away directly. How to deal with old clothes is a problem that almost every family will face. The data shows that about 26 million tons of old clothes are thrown into the trash can every year in China.

  The recycling of old clothes is necessary for people’s livelihood and environmental protection, and it also contains huge market space. According to the survey of China Circular Economy Association, the recycling rate of old clothes is less than 1%. Where is the difficulty in recycling old clothes and how to crack it? The reporter conducted an investigation into this.

  Why is it difficult to recycle old clothes?

  Compared with China’s annual textile fiber processing volume of over 50 million tons and the clothing market of over one trillion yuan, old clothes seem to be seldom mentioned. However, this piece of clothing hidden in the corner of the wardrobe reflects the embarrassing situation — —

  According to the data of China Circular Economy Association, about 26 million tons of old clothes are thrown into the trash can every year in China. If these old clothes are incinerated, it will cause waste and pollution; Landfill will affect the soil.

  It is imperative to recycle old clothes. Although many communities have recycling bins and many families have begun to try them, the recycling rate is less than 1%. Among them, there are very few textiles that can be recycled by generated regenerated fibers, and it is difficult to fundamentally realize recycling.

  High cost is the main reason.

  The first is the cost. Jiang Shicheng, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, said that there are usually four ways to recycle old clothes: mechanical, physical, chemical and thermal. It is ideal to reduce it to molecular level by chemical means and then regenerate the fiber. However, this method has high production cost and large-scale production is still limited.

  The second is the concept. The reporter’s investigation found that many people tend to donate old clothes, and even recycling is mainly for public welfare, which is difficult to accept commercial use. Compared with the recycling process, fewer people accept recycled fiber products.

  Sun Huaibin, vice president of China National Textile and Apparel Council, said that in some countries in Europe and America, recycled fiber products are more commonly used, and many brands including ZARA and GAP have corresponding product lines. Even if the price is slightly higher, it has many fans. In China, there is still a lack of understanding of recycled fiber products, and many people think that the textiles made from it are unclean and unsafe.

  "Influenced by the concept, these international brands rarely launch recycled fiber series in domestic stores." An industry insider said.

  The most important thing is the business model. "Every link needs the investment of commercial power. Compared with donations, the recycling of old clothes depends on a more complete system. " An old clothes recycling practitioner said that at present, the industrial chain is long, the link cost is high, it is difficult for enterprises to make profits and the market is difficult to open.

  "In particular, the back-end business links are not in place, resulting in no export at the entrance and no industrial cycle." Sun Huaibin said, "Recycled paper has been accepted and popularized for decades. In contrast, the road to recycling old clothes is long."

  100 billion market to be developed

  On the one hand, it is an embarrassing situation, on the other hand, it is the trend of low-carbon environmental protection and a huge potential market. It is difficult to promote the recycling of old clothes, but it is full of innovation and attraction.

  The corresponding attempt is beginning. One-click selection, door-to-door collection of clothes, on the idle fish of Alibaba’s idle trading platform, clothes have started a new journey after sorting, transportation, crushing, cotton opening and other links.

  According to idle fish data, about 24 million old clothes have been recycled since the corresponding business was launched in March last year. In the last graduation season, about 380,000 pieces of clothes from nearly 400 colleges and universities were recycled through idle fish, which were transformed into automobile sound insulation cotton, greenhouse heat insulation cotton and recycled cloth.

  Cao Cao’s trip and the old clothes environmental protection public welfare platform jointly launched the "old clothes recycling plan". Create a recycling transportation network by sharing trips and other means, and dynamically track the recycling process.

  "The large-scale user base determines that the platform can do large-scale public welfare and commercial exploration." Zhu Xingxiang, president of China Circular Economy Association, believes that information technology can improve the efficiency of resource utilization, solve management problems such as whole-process traceability, and explore modes such as sharing and co-creation, so that more people can participate. "internet plus" provides a new idea for promoting the utilization of social idle resources.

  From making clothes to recycling clothes, some textile and garment enterprises are also taking advantage of the industrial chain to promote the recycling of old clothes.

  "Waste underwear consists of 17 parts. Hooks, loops and rims belong to recyclable garbage, while shoulder straps and straps belong to dry garbage … …” Underwear brand Aimu launched a recycling and environmental protection campaign in official website Mall, popularized the classification of waste clothing waste, and launched a nationwide underwear recycling campaign through recycling coupons and other means, in conjunction with logistics, decomposition and other manufacturers.

  Degradation treatment, fabric development, printing and dyeing textiles, logistics storage … … Around the industrial chain, a series of technological and model innovations are also being carried out.

  "The recycling of waste textiles is not only an environmental protection project, but also a new economy and new kinetic energy, which will give birth to a billion-dollar industry." Jiang Shicheng said.

  Strengthen management and eliminate "blind spots"

  Old clothes recycling is a good thing for people’s livelihood and a frontier industry. To promote it healthily and continuously, we still need to improve policies, encourage innovation and standardize management.

  First of all, it is necessary to clarify who will collect and how to collect the corresponding subjects and standards. The reporter’s investigation found that at present, the recycling of used clothes has just started. Except for some big brands and platforms, most of them are entrepreneurial enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. The division of labor, cooperation and coordination in the industrial chain still needs to be standardized and clear.

  For example, many communities have set up recycling bins, but how to manage them and how to track them is still unclear.

  "Whether the recycling bin can be put, where it can be put, who will take care of it after it is put, and who to look for if there is a problem, all need to be further clarified." Xu Yan, a resident of Chaoyang District, Beijing, hopes to clarify the regulatory authorities and management standards as soon as possible, set qualifications and thresholds, and achieve true recycling to prevent some unscrupulous traders from reselling for profit.

  Secondly, it is necessary to manage and support industrial development and better encourage innovation.

  At present, the main way to recycle old clothes is to use recycled fibers for the second time. However, the corresponding industrial preferential policies for renewable resources have not yet covered the field of waste textiles. Although some enterprises have made breakthroughs in research and development, they lack production enthusiasm due to high cost and low market recognition of finished products.

  Experts suggest that relevant standards should be formulated as soon as possible to ensure the orderly recycling of old clothes; Give preferential policies in finance and taxation, and encourage enterprises and platforms to innovate; Encourage scientific research on recycling; Strengthen internal and external supervision and eliminate industry chaos.

  In addition, many people suggest establishing a "clear account" for the recycling of used clothes, so as to make it well documented, eliminate the doubts of the masses, and promote the concept of low-carbon life and scientific environmental protection in the whole society.

The exorcism version poster of "Ask the spirits" The school flower is crucified and turned into a zombie.

The transnational magical horror masterpiece "Ask the spirits to curse", which is scheduled to be released on October 23rd, released a poster of "exorcism". Bai Ni, the school beauty, was crucified with a huge pencil, and her blood flowed. Bai Ni, who is still alive, stared at the front with bitterness, and her gradually pale limbs indicated that she was about to become a zombie. This poster is completely American style, and the whole atmosphere is full of themes of violence, blood and atonement, which also implies the complicated trend of the story.

Exorcism poster to create "American horror" film, the first public "atonement" motif

After releasing a series of posters of oriental horror elements, the "Ask the Fairy Magic" jointly created by the teams of China, the United States, Japan and South Korea today released an "exorcism" version poster showing the aesthetic style of western horror. In western tradition, people who are haunted by evil spirits ask priests to exorcise evil spirits, and this theme has also given birth to a series of well-known horror movies. This time, the main teams of "Ask the Fairy", "Woman Gao tales of mystery" and other classic films are assembled to create this magical horror masterpiece. Naturally, it is necessary to learn from others and blend the classic horror elements of the East and the West together. Bai Ni, the school flower who was crucified by ask the spirits, makes people shine at the moment and has infinite associations. Being crucified is a classic image of "crucified Jesus" in western culture, symbolizing "atonement". This is the first time that this motif has been revealed in the film "The Curse to Ask the Fairy". According to all the materials exposed before, it can be speculated that Bai Ni has done unclean things in school, and the passionate drama has been staged again and again, which seems to have disobeyed the seven deadly sins in Christianity. For Song Duoduo, she always showed her senior sister’s concern for her junior, which seemed to be a kind move. However, she was crucified. Is there any other inside story and meaning behind this? Who is the exorcist? Who is Bai Ni staring at? Why was she chosen by ask the spirits to be crucified? What crime does she want to atone for? This poster once again digs out the tip of the iceberg of the story, but it attracts more brain-burning speculation.

"ask the spirits to curse" was favored by Hollywood and released simultaneously in North America.

From the beginning of financing, the international project "Ask the Fairy" won the favor of many Wall Street financial predators. After several rounds of fierce competition, it was finally won by Hollywood K Fund and gained 51% of the investment control rights of the film. In order to create a new benchmark for horror films with the theme of Oriental Magic Campus, this film combines the production teams of four countries: China, the United States, Japan and South Korea, aiming to break through the audience’s conventional cognition of low-cost horror films in China in the past and redefine Chinese horror films from the film technology. In order to ensure the quality of the film, American producer Daniel Moore insisted on spending 20 million yuan to build a scene. The art department rented the largest studio in Asia and built an abandoned experimental building of a medical college at a ratio of 1:1, just for shooting in ten minutes, which is rare in Chinese horror films. In view of the fact that director David Kuan’s earlier series not only achieved excellent box office performance, but also achieved 340 million hits on the whole network, according to the observation of network big data, its main audience is the post-90s generation, while the total population of China post-90s generation is only 170 million! With such a huge coverage, the industry generally thinks highly of the film’s expectations. It is believed that the 2.0 upgraded version of the magic horror film "Ask the Fairy" will continue to write and improve the past performance myth, and create a brand-new super IP carrier in the field of horror films. It is reported that the second IP of this series of "Ask the Fairy" will be finished in late October, and the film revealed that the series will release 12 American films, all of which will be handed over to the famous D&G in North continuous shooting.

The daily transaction limit of bank cards is 5000 yuan? A number of banks responded

A few days ago, the topic of "There is a bank with a daily trading limit of 5,000 yuan" was posted on Weibo Hot Search, which triggered a heated discussion among netizens.

China securities journal CSI Taurus investigated a number of banks in Beijing, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Postal Savings Bank, China Merchants Bank and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank. Relevant bank staff said that the daily trading limit of bank cards is set by customers according to their personal situation and trading channels when they apply for cards.

Off-counter transactions of banks

There is no fixed limit.

A few days ago, "There is a daily trading limit of 5,000 yuan for banks on the Internet" boarded a hot search in Weibo. According to media reports, some banks in Beijing have set a trading limit for Class I accounts, and the trading limit for all channels outside the counter is 5,000 yuan per day.

It is reported that non-counter channels refer to businesses that are not handled at the bank counter, including online banking, mobile banking, online fast payment and third-party payment.

"I just issued a year-end bonus of 20,000 yuan, and I want to transfer the money to a wealth management product on a platform, but it frequently shows’ transaction is limited’, and I can’t transfer it, just 20,000. Very strange! " Xia Xin, an office worker in Beijing, told reporters.

She is not alone in such doubts. In this hot search comment area, netizens have said: "My first-class card of Agricultural Bank of China is like this. I can’t transfer more than 5,000 yuan with the flash payment APP, but I can only transfer money with the ABC APP limit." "My bank card limit is 2,000 yuan, and I have to go back and forth five times to transfer 10,000 yuan."

In this regard, the reporter learned from the staff of many banks in Beijing that there is no fixed limit on the non-counter transactions of various banks, which varies according to the personal bank card usage, asset status and trading channels of customers.

The relevant staff of a bank told the reporter that when handling a first-class account in the bank, it is necessary to use the customer ID number to check how many cards and passbooks there are under the name. If there is no settlement account under the name, you can handle a first-class account, otherwise you can only handle a second-class account (the daily transaction amount of a second-class account cannot exceed 10,000 yuan).

A staff member of a branch of ICBC in Beijing told reporters that the daily trading quota of ICBC’s non-counter channels is 10,000 yuan. If the account is not used for a long time, the system may think it is risky, thus reducing its transaction limit. "This is also to protect the security of customer accounts." He also said that if the customer inquires that he is a untrustworthy person through the ID card when handling the card, the system will automatically display that the card cannot be handled.

"The payment limits of different payment channels may be different. The daily transaction limit set at the time of card processing is only the limit set by the bank’s mobile banking." A staff member of a branch of China Construction Bank in Beijing told reporters.

Xiao Li, a staff member of a branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank in Beijing, said that under normal circumstances, the transfer limit of mobile banking depends on the amount issued by customers, up to 1 million yuan per day. "Now there are new regulations, such as opening a new card or a new mobile phone number, and there may also be a limit for online transfer."

You can adjust the amount at the offline outlets.

Some customers have tried other methods to realize large-sum transfer. For example, Xia Xin is transferred in batches, with each transfer of 5,000 yuan to realize the transfer of tens of thousands of yuan.

A number of bank staff told reporters that if they can’t meet the daily trading requirements of customers, it is recommended to bring their ID cards and bank cards to offline outlets for counter withdrawal.

Xiao Li said: "The main thing is to prevent bank card telecom fraud. Customers can go directly to the outlet to withdraw the amount. "

A staff member of a branch of China Merchants Bank in Beijing said that according to the requirements, the bank should set up a personal account management system, and reasonably set the total amount of single funds transferred out of non-counter business according to the identity, occupation, age and transaction characteristics of customers. "Everyone’s situation will be very different."

In addition, some banks can also adjust their own limits through mobile banking. For example, Xiao Liu, a staff member of a branch of Bank of China in Beijing, said that there are two ways. One is to conduct large transactions by selecting the "mobile phone shield" function on mobile banking; Second, you can go to the outlets to open the sim shield.

"Under normal circumstances, the bank can’t give you a high quota. The transfer is risky and may be cheated. If you transfer money frequently, it will also be restricted. " Xiao Liu further added to the reporter.

The battery life of this 5G mobile phone is "a bit" long. OPPO K7x comprehensive evaluation.

Taking stock of the steady pace of cross-border e-commerce development in 2024, opportunities and challenges coexist

Why talk about cross-border e-commerce? In today’s wave of globalization, the importance of cross-border e-commerce has become increasingly prominent, and it has accelerated to become an important kinetic energy of China’s foreign trade and a new engine for high-quality development. The data shows that in 2023, the total import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce in China was 2.38 trillion yuan, of which the export volume reached 1.83 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%, far exceeding the overall foreign trade growth level, fully demonstrating the powerful role of "cross-border new kinetic energy". The cross-border e-commerce business of Chinese enterprises has spread all over the world, and it has gradually grown into an important force for China’s foreign trade growth, and its strength and development potential should not be underestimated.

Steady pace of development

In 2024, the cross-border e-commerce market showed a strong growth trend.

With the gradual formation of global consumption habits, global consumers are increasingly keen to buy goods from different countries through online channels. This trend has not only greatly expanded the market coverage of cross-border e-commerce, but also continuously promoted the steady growth of cross-border e-commerce transaction volume.

The rapid rise of emerging markets has become a new bright spot in the development of cross-border e-commerce. In addition to the traditional European and American markets, the demand for online shopping in Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and other regions is growing rapidly.

Take Southeast Asia as an example, the region has a large population and a large base of young people, and the penetration rate of Internet and mobile devices has been rising for many years. According to the 2024 Southeast Asia Digital Economy Report jointly released by Google, Temasek and Bain, it is estimated that the total transaction volume (GMV) will reach 263 billion US dollars this year, up 15% year-on-year; The total revenue of the digital economy is expected to increase to $89 billion, with an annual growth rate of 14%, and the profit will also rise to $11 billion, with an increase of 24%. In Latin America, the cross-border e-commerce market in Brazil, Mexico and other countries is also expanding rapidly, with an annual growth rate of around 20%. As another emerging market, although the e-commerce infrastructure in Africa still needs to be improved, the rapid growth of Internet users and the consumption demand of young people make its cross-border e-commerce potential not to be underestimated. According to a report released by TechCabal Insights, a digital economy consulting company, it is estimated that the scale of the e-commerce market in Africa will increase from 55 billion US dollars in 2024 to 112.73 billion US dollars in 2029, with an increase of 105% in five years. The e-commerce protocol of African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) adopted in August 2023 will unify the regulatory framework of e-commerce and create a single and unified market for digital goods and services, thus opening up new growth paths for participants in this industry.

The upgrading of supply chain and logistics has also provided strong support for the development of cross-border e-commerce. With the development of technology and the optimization of supply chain management, the logistics speed and service quality of cross-border e-commerce have been significantly improved. For example, the construction and development of overseas warehouses has the characteristics of "fast customs clearance, fast distribution, fast turnover, fast service and low cost", which greatly improves the operational efficiency and customer satisfaction of cross-border e-commerce. At the same time, the progress of technology has also enabled large commodities to be stocked in advance, expanding the categories of commodities.

The favorable policies provide a strong guarantee for the development of cross-border e-commerce. China has introduced policies to support the development of cross-border e-commerce, lowered the threshold of market access, and formulated a series of tax incentives and subsidies. For example, the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China recently announced a number of regulatory measures to optimize the export of cross-border e-commerce, which took effect on December 15, including canceling the filing of cross-border e-commerce export overseas warehouse enterprises, simplifying the declaration procedures of export documents, expanding the pilot of "inspection before shipment" of export LCL goods, and promoting the cross-border customs return supervision mode of cross-border e-commerce retail exports.

In addition, the Ministry of Commerce and other nine departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Expanding Cross-border E-commerce Exports and Promoting the Construction of Overseas Warehouses", which deployed 15 measures from five aspects: actively cultivating cross-border e-commerce business entities, increasing financial support, strengthening the construction of related infrastructure and logistics systems, optimizing supervision and services, and actively developing standard rules and international cooperation.

Technology empowerment enables cross-border e-commerce companies to understand consumer needs more accurately, improve operational efficiency and reduce operating costs. The application of new technologies such as AI, big data and blockchain enables enterprises to reduce operating costs and improve service quality by optimizing supply chain and logistics management.

Diversified platform support provides businesses with more sales channels and marketing tools. In 2024, more emerging cross-border e-commerce platforms emerged. In addition to traditional platforms such as Amazon and eBay, social e-commerce platforms such as TikTok and Temu also provided businesses with more choices. Through different modes and advantages, these platforms have attracted many merchants and consumers with "menu-style" customized sea-going programs.

Internal and external challenges coexist.

In 2024, cross-border e-commerce sellers will face huge cost and competitive pressure.

On the one hand, the decline in revenue has become a common phenomenon. According to relevant research, nearly 60% of sellers said that their revenue has decreased compared with the previous year, and 18% of them have fallen by more than 50%. The profit margin has also been severely squeezed. Only 27% of sellers said that their profits were higher than the same period of last year, and 17% of sellers’ profits fell by more than 50%.

On the other hand, the cost is on the rise. As Amazon adjusts its supply chain services in 2025, sellers will face the cost changes of several key projects, and many expenses of Amazon will rise, including distribution fees, storage fees, long-term storage fees, removal fees and advertising fees. For example, "holiday peak performance fee" requires sellers to pay extra fees to cope with seasonal demand; Multi-channel performance (MCF) cost adjustment, the average cost increased by 3.5%, etc.

In addition, the cross-border e-commerce industry faces severe external environmental challenges. With the continuous development of the global e-commerce market, governments all over the world have increased their supervision in the field of cross-border e-commerce. On the one hand, tax compliance requirements are becoming stricter. Many countries and regions require cross-border e-commerce enterprises to accurately declare and pay all kinds of taxes, including customs duties, value-added tax, consumption tax, etc., and the penalties for tax violations are more severe.

For example, on August 1 this year, the Brazilian Federal Taxation Bureau announced that the new tax regulations for "small exemption termination" came into effect. Import duty of 20% is levied on cross-border parcels below $50, and import duty of 60% is levied on parcels between $50 and $3,000. Under the new regulations, cross-border products have increased costs for both consumers and businesses. According to the calculation of relevant Brazilian institutions, the final tax burden of consumers will reach 44.5%. From the perspective of industrial chain, Guilherme Jung, an economist of Alta Vista Research Company, believes that high taxes and fees will lead to price increase, product variety decrease, delivery time extension and even complicate the supply chain.

On the other hand, product compliance has become a key link. Different countries and regions have different standards for product quality, safety and environmental protection, so cross-border e-commerce enterprises must ensure that the products they sell meet the standards of the target market. For example, in the EU, products need to meet a series of strict requirements such as CE certification; The United States has specific safety standards for electronic products, toys and other categories. If an enterprise’s products are not compliant, it may encounter risks such as product removal and recall, which will damage the brand image and lead to the loss of consumer trust.

Where is the road to the future?

In the increasingly competitive cross-border e-commerce field, many platforms and sellers stand out in the market through innovation and differentiated competition. Taking fashion brand SHEIN as an example, it has built a "flexible on-demand" supply chain model through technological innovation, which not only provides all-round support for suppliers to achieve win-win cooperation, but also continuously expands product categories, digs deep into special processes and fabrics, and establishes core advantages through differentiated competition.

Obviously, in the future, cross-border e-commerce enterprises need to constantly innovate and keep up with market changes in order to be invincible in the fierce competition. In terms of product innovation, we can open a new product track according to the new consumption scene, integrate sustainable development elements into product planning, and fully consider consumers’ emotional demands. Technological innovation is also indispensable, using digital intelligence technologies such as big data and generative AI to accurately select products, optimize drainage, strengthen transformation, scientifically manage logistics and warehousing, and simplify workflow. At the same time, enterprises should dare to expand emerging markets, exert their strength from the market, identify vertical tracks, select fine products for development, and enhance the differentiated competitiveness of products.

The rapid growth of online shopping demand in emerging markets has brought new growth points to cross-border e-commerce enterprises. Emerging markets, represented by Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa, are expected to become the fastest growing regions of cross-border e-commerce in the world in the next few years.

Looking forward to 2025, under the background of global economic integration, the future of cross-border e-commerce lies in the combination of technology and market, as well as the deep integration of business flow and logistics. As the core battlefield, the changes in European and American markets will directly affect the global trade pattern. Faced with the rise of emerging markets, cross-border e-commerce enterprises should actively seize the opportunities brought by the growth of business flow and realize the sustainable development of their business through continuous innovation and optimization of services.

    Note:

    1. The data in this bulletin are preliminary statistics, in which the energy consumption data are preliminary audited by the National Bureau of Statistics.

    2. The absolute figures of the GDP and the added value of various industries in Hunan Province are calculated at current prices, and the growth rate is calculated at comparable prices.

    3. The permanent population refers to the population whose household registration is in the local area and has lived there for more than half a year, the population who lives in the local area and whose household registration is not in the local area but has left the household registration for more than half a year, and the population who lives in the local area and whose household registration is to be determined. The calculation formula is: resident population = registered population-population whose household registration is local but has left the household registration place for more than half a year+population who lives locally but has left the household registration place for more than half a year+population who lives locally and has an undetermined household registration place. The number of permanent residents in 2008 used in this bulletin is inferred from this year’s population sampling survey.
