Feng Xiaochen and Qi Ruicang were naturally the rescuers invited by Wang Zhenbin.Qi Ruizang left Yubei five years ago and still returned to the National Development Research Center.In the years of Yubei, he personally participated in the process of revitalizing the old industrial base, combined with his own economic knowledge, put forward the theory of the choice of industrial revitalization path.He joined forces with his master's classmate, Ding Shiquan, perfected this theory and summarized it into a so-called "industrial recovery curve".Their paper has received a lot of attention since it was published in international journals, and their proposed curve is also named the "Qi-Ding Industrial Recovery Curve", or simply referred to as the Qiding Curve.

European and American countries since the 1980s have appeared in the old industrial base industrial transformation problems, such as the United States Detroit, Birmingham and other old industrial areas of the industrial transformation have encountered difficulties, the local industry withered, the population is decreasing, there are many social problems.Although the theory of industrial revitalization path selection proposed by Qi Ruicang and Ding Shiquan is a summary of China's experience, it also has certain inspirations for Western countries, so not only is the academic community interested in this theory, but official institutions such as the European Commission are also studying this theory.

Emmeline is from the background of economics, in the European Commission also do some theoretical research work, so know the Qiding curve this matter, carrying the name of Qi Rui warehouse is also very familiar.After she prompted Bovard, Bovard also remembered this matter, and it was inevitable that he would have to look up a few eyes.

Gao Lei and Qi Ruizang are scholars who are somewhat famous in the Western economic world, but the two are different in their fame.Gao Lei's fame is that he is good at criticizing China's system, and occasionally can expose it to foreign scholars.The fame of Qi Ruicang lies in the fact that he has put forward a set of theories of industrial revitalization, which is not only inspiring for developing countries, but also for Western developed countries.

One is a professional demolition, one is a professional set-up, how the academic community views these two people, another matter, for the European Commission such a substantive department, naturally more respect for the latter.The latter can do something, and what can the former do except play with the tongue?

After Feng Xiaochen and Qi Ruizang sat down, Wang Zhenbin briefly introduced them to the situation just now, and gave them a look at the copies of the newspapers and documents brought by Bovard.Seeing that the other party actually got a copy of the internal documents, Feng Xiaochen and Qi Ruicang were speechless, what was the special meow?

“Mr. Bowad, what are your questions, Mr. Bovid, when you have just mentioned the question about government subsidies?”He spent several years in the United States, and his knowledge of international rules was better than Feng Xiaochen and Wang Zhenbin, so this problem should be solved by him.

“Yes, we have noticed that the Chinese government has provided subsidies for the first set of insurance for domestic manufacturing companies, which gives Chinese manufacturing companies more advantages when competing with European companies,” he said.We believe that this subsidy policy is unreasonable and contrary to WTO rules.”

“Which rule is contrary?”Qian Rui asked.

“The principle of national treatment in the WTO and the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures.”Bovard said.

Mr. Bovid, you are talking about the general rule that there is an exception in the WTO principles, that is, if it is government procurement, it is not subject to the principle of national treatment.”

“We know this, but is the first set of policies in your country only for government procurement projects?”Bovard asked.

"That's for sure."Feng Xiaochen took over the words, "If it is not for government procurement, what reason does the National Development and Reform Commission have to provide subsidies to enterprises?"

“But your Professor Gao Lei said that this subsidy is universal and does not limit it to government procurement projects.”Bovard argued.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, “Mr. Boward, some people’s words are not credible.”You should not forget that a few years ago, someone at the United Nations General Assembly held a bag of laundry detergent and said that this is evidence of chemical weapons found in Iraq, so you have smashed Iraq into ruins and did not find chemical weapons.

"This..." Bovard's face was a bit ugly, he certainly knows what Feng Zhichen said, the Western people may still believe Powell's nonsense, but Bovard, as an EU official, can not understand the cat's tiredness.At first, Powell claimed that he had received evidence from Iraqi "conscientious people", but found that this evidence was completely false.Now the EU uses the evidence provided by Chinese "conscientists", what is the difference?

"I don't think these two things can be easily compared."Emmeline excused Bovard.

Feng Xiaochen said, “Then let’s take a specific example.I just read the newspaper you brought, in this report, the reporter mentioned the tender for subway engineering equipment in Huoyuan City, China, that the subway project is completely led by the government, such a project is not a government procurement, what is government procurement?

“Indeed, in the case of this project, it is indeed a government procurement act, and the manufacturer is allowed to receive government subsidies.”Emeline replied that they had also pondered the problem before they set out, saying: “However, in the WTO exception, the financial support provided by the government in procurement projects can only be used to compensate for the loss of the manufacturer, not to make additional profits for the manufacturer.”Can you prove that the government's commitment to the insurance subsidy given to Chenyu in the Huoyuan Metro will not make the company an additional profit?"

“Exercisely.”Wang Zhenbin also inserted into the words, "about this project, we have carried out strict calculations."In fact, the shield machine provided by Chenyu Company for the Huoyuan Metro project is far lower than the general level of the market, more than 40% cheaper than similar models in Germany, and is completely unprofitable.If they were to pay the full amount of insurance premiums, there would be serious losses, and the Government ' s subsidies were used to cover them.”

“However, their aim in driving down prices is to gain a competitive advantage in the face of Pumé, which is a business practice.”Bovard said.

“No, it is a public good.”Wang Zhenbin said, "The purpose of their purpose is to reduce the cost of the Huoyuan subway, so as to benefit the 2 million residents of Huoyuan City."

“The construction of the subway can effectively reduce the pressure on ground transportation and reduce urban congestion, thereby reducing the greenhouse gas emissions caused by urban traffic, which is beneficial to global climate control.”Feng Xiaochen also gave a tall reason.

This time, Bovard was speechless.Over the years, the European people have become more and more the Virgin, economic development and other things are regarded as backward and stale ideas, what global climate, animal protection and other topics have absolute justice, no one can challenge.Feng Xiaochen said that Chenyu company for the Huoyuan subway to provide cheap shield machine, is for global climate control, this is obvious nonsense, but Bovard firmly believes that if Feng Xiaochen is willing to go to the European media to express this view, will be able to get a group of supporters.The European Commission itself has a lot of bad things, and there is a spirit to get into this trouble.

Under the same conditions, the priority of the procurement of industrial goods from developing countries is also the principle of the WTO.In the case of the same cost-effectiveness as the Chenyu shield machine and the Pumay shield machine, not only should the Huoyuan Metro project give priority to the procurement of Chenyu's products, even the European subway project should be the case.Qian Rui said in a melodious way.

“Maybe... well, I mean, we need to know something else.”Bovard confessed.He realized that Chinese government officials already have strong expertise, not just the days when China opened its doors decades ago.Regarding the rules of the WTO, Chinese officials have pondered very thoroughly, and the first set of documents of the National Development and Reform Commission has been written in such a way that people can't find the flaws.

As EU officials, Bovard and Emeline know that the so-called adherence to WTO rules is actually a policy and a countermeasure.All member states are talking about strictly adhering to the WTO rules, but in their actions, they are trying to find ways to exploit the loopholes, as long as others can't grasp the handle, you can't do it.

Just now, the European Union and the United States are engaged in a trade war on aircraft subsidies.The United States accused the European Union of high subsidies to Airbus, while the EU denied it and accused the United States of high subsidies to Boeing.Everyone can see that the subsidies on both sides are real and violate the WTO agreement.But neither side admits to the constant debate with regulations.Who does not expect this debate to be able to argue a result, everyone's psychology is the same, that is, the use of bullshit time to quickly grab the market, and then the market grabs, the future is not a big deal to cancel subsidies, or even a penalty and so on, what's the matter?You know, this kind of international trade in the tug of ten or twenty years is not under the words.

In contrast, this subsidy made by the Chinese can only be a small case.After all, the Chinese people are still honest, the international market experience is insufficient, and the right to speak is limited, so they are still a little cautious and do not dare to act like Europe and the United States.

In fact, Bovard and Emmeline knew before that there was nothing wrong with them that Chinese officials would not be choked.Now that hope seems to have been dashed.Others do not say that at least this put forward the "Qiding curve" of Qi Ruicang must have seen some of the world, if you want to rely on a newspaper and a few copies to suffoon him, it is impossible.

"If that's the case, then we'll say goodbye first."Bovard stood up and said, “We will convey your views to the experts of the European Commission and ask them to make further judgments.”If we have any other questions, I'm afraid I'll be bothering you again.”

“Please wait anytime.”Wang Zhenbin also stood up and said with a smile.
