Recently, many mainlanders went to Hong Kong and Macao to buy daily necessities, a Shing to the local market, some of the goods were tight, some agents took the opportunity to increase prices, and local residents began to sit on the difficult Ann. Cheap, low exchange rate, quality and safety, the Spring Festival shopping peak four factors led to the Hong Kong and Macao buying spree. On the other hand, "Made in China" presents upside down phenomenon, resulting in Chinese people go abroad to buy Maotai, purchase Chinese cigarettes. "News 1+1" February 17, 2011 broadcast "go out to buy!"  , the following is a record of the program: to Hong Kong, to Macau, luxury goods, electronic goods, but now also to "hoard toilet paper", "soy sauce", the Spring Festival is to buy businesses to break goods.  Merchant: (business) twice times well, there are many people to buy soy sauce, you see this bought a basket.  Explanation: Japanese buy Maotai, South Korea with China, the United States to buy clothing, the Chinese manufacturing across the seas, why is the price superior to the door?  Merchants: Maotai goods, out of stock, export is cheaper than domestic.  Explanation: Hong Kong and Macao sweep goods, overseas purchasing, a lot of trouble to save money road, puzzling strange phenomenon, this is who made?  Moderator Dong Qian: Welcome to "News 1+1". As the saying goes, the mountain does not turn the water, in people's impression still keep Hong Kong guests to the mainland after the price is cheap, shopping situation.  But this kind of situation does not know from when turn over, now the mainland visitors to Hong Kong after looking at what all feel cheap, see what all want to buy, we first go to Hong Kong to see.  (play short) Sembing Wellcome Supermarket Director: Supply has been strained in recent months and more customers have bought powdered milk during the recent spring festival, causing a gap in supply and demand.  Caption Tip: February 17, 2011 News: There is also a shortage of some brand milk powder in Macao market, the Macao Health Bureau said it would do its best to ensure the supply of milk powder in the market and urged the public not to panic too much.  Explanation: Starting from before the Spring Festival, many mainlanders go to Hong Kong, Macao to buy infant formula, a Shing to go, into boxes in batches to hold back, the local market shortage of milk powder, some of the milk powder agents began to take the opportunity to increase prices, and local residents began to sit on the difficult Ann. In Hong Kong, some parents have launched a joint action on the Internet, calling on government departments to levy a milk powder departure tax, and also proposed a specific tax amount, is 10 times times the original price of milk powder.  Although the appeal has not been supported by the government, local businesses have taken their own measures to limit purchases.  History can be a reporter for this Taiwan: Supermarkets have also specifically set the limits of ordering, each day customers can only buy three cans of milk powder related to the brand, hoping to meet the needs of more customers. Explanation: In fact, mainland residents to buy in Hong Kong seems to have a long history, and snapping goods is not only milk powder, not only foreign brands. Data from the Shenzhen Lo Wu crossing last December showed that the number of people leaving the country at weekends was close to 400,000, up 20% per cent from the past. And many of them are aiming at cheap Hong KongCommodity, which has changed the way mainlanders came to Hong Kong just to focus on buying gold, electronics and luxury goods. Caption Tip: November 17, 2010 News of the same period: the flute has been a long time, Chung Ying Street recently exceptionally prosperous, carrying a large bag of people everywhere.  such as rice, eggs, salt and other necessities of life prices, Shenzhen has been higher than Hong Kong, "to Hong Kong to soy sauce" has become a popular phrase in Shenzhen residents. Shenzhen residents: bought more than 2000 yuan, one months, buy daily necessities, children drink those drinks, and biscuits.  A little discount, a total of one hundred or two hundred dollars. Explanation: From the middle of last year to Hong Kong and Macao to purchase daily necessities has become a common, now seems to be more and more fierce. We seem to be able to find the root cause from a spot check on the quality of life in Guangzhou and Hong Kong.  That is, some of the goods that are originally mainland brands are sold in Hong Kong cheaper than the mainland.  Moderator: Yansong, I do not know how you look, I think I as a consumer, if there is a place not far away from me, then I am sure to go to cheap places to buy things, how do you think? Bai commentator: I think there may be four reasons: first, a lot of things are really cheap. This can not be said, you see we compare the line.  10 rolls of toilet paper, really buy, this is not a joke, Shenzhen is 33.9 Yuan, Hong Kong HK $28.9.  Moderator: Does Vader do it in Guangdong? Bai: Yes. Then 500 ml of Dr. Roentgen Contact Lens Care Liquid in our Shenzhen is 75 yuan, to Hong Kong HK $54.5, clatter out 20 dollars. Lotte Chocolate Pie 12 installed, Shenzhen 15.99 Yuan, Hong Kong HK $10. Edo Almond biscuits Two boxes, Shenzhen 30 yuan, Hong Kong HK $23.  We can't just look at this, the first one is that it's really cheap. Second, the appreciation of the renminbi, resulting in a cheaper basis for us to play a small 80 percent. You see, 100 HKD = 84.49 yuan, 100 macau dollar = 82.12 yuan.  You think, this is equal to another 80 percent.  Third, before and after the Spring Festival, we also have to go out, the peak of procurement has come, so, the cost is very low, we are high, Hong Kong and Macao are easy.  Four, very very important, including powdered milk and many other food and daily necessities, we think that in Hong Kong to buy more reliable, quality more dependable, safer. Moderator: When more mainlanders go shopping in Hong Kong, let us know what the people of Hong Kong think about this problem.  To connect the CCTV correspondent in Hong Kong to the Changjiang River. Yangtze River, first of all because you are resident in Hong Kong, you first introduce us, because we now read the report that mainlanders go to Hong Kong not only to buy large, now even the necessities of life are buying.  What is the most specific and precise information you have learned there? Yangtze River This Taiwan Reporter: You just played the film and talked about the content, I listen to one side to feel very knowingly to laugh. This is the case and the situation is true, becauseI have been in Hong Kong for many years. I remember when I first came, at that time we often have to go to Shenzhen to buy things, eat and use, a go to the supermarket, a large pile back. But now, I don't know when I didn't do it myself. In particular, just now we have heard such a sentence in the film, called "to Hong Kong to soy sauce."  I think this thing to this step, we have little to say, have to admit such a phenomenon. Analysis of this reason, just now you two people have said that the situation is really cheap, exchange rate and so on.  There are two reasons: first, Hong Kong itself is a duty-free island, in this place all the tax may itself be cheaper than the mainland to sell. Secondly, as Yansong mentioned just now, people all feel that it is safe to come to Hong Kong to buy things, which I think is indeed a point, because Hong Kong has historically been very well regulated in the safety of food and other supplies. Therefore, people themselves on this market to buy things are more comfortable.  If the quality is the same good, the price is similar, then why do you have to keep in their own door, buy things may be more than a river beyond the Hong Kong is also expensive, why not to Hong Kong to buy it? Like some of the examples you just raised, toilet paper or something. I can give you two more examples, such as Red Fuji Apple, in Shenzhen is now 6 yuan a catty, to buy a larger point of about 4 yuan. In Hong Kong, I often can buy 4 of 10 yuan in the supermarket, such as eggs, in Shenzhen, almost 0.9 yuan a, but in Hong Kong's supermarkets, 23 HKD can buy 30, this price must have an advantage. Perhaps some people will say that its quality, especially the mainland of these people have poisoned this, poison that, so mainlanders must come to Hong Kong to buy things.  I think this is also a factor which cannot be overlooked, and it is also important for our mainland counterparts to raise their vigilance.  But speaking of what Dong Qian said just now, what the people of Hong Kong think about this upside down is that they have been going northward for the past 30 years.  Moderator: Speaking of which, I would like to ask you, because there are many tourists from the mainland to Hong Kong, Hong Kong people will not have such a worry, you come to so many people, our things are bought, there is a sense of crisis, will there be? Changjiang: Yes, I want to talk to you about this topic. This afternoon, I dedicated to this program tonight, I went to another trip, we now can see the mainland of Hong Kong, a chain brand shop, called "Watson", where you can see a lot of commodities sold. I went to ask the waiter, just you mentioned this topic, I asked her, I said if I am a Shenzhen people to buy things, you will not be so happy. She said of course she was happy. Did I say you were welcome? She said, of course, happy and welcome. Later, I asked her, if many mainlanders came to sweep up the market in Hong Kong, they could not buy what they should also launch. She told me that it could not have happened because our source was very very chargedFoot. At that time she was selling me a overspending of toothpaste, and then I asked her, I said this toothpaste I look so familiar, will I buy in Hong Kong, just buy is made in the mainland.  The salesman began to sip his mouth and laugh, and then we all laughed at each other with two people, and I thought the answer was in our two laughter. So I think, overall, to see a change in such a direction, I think we should not be too strange, it is the market, and can not, and should not, give it more emotional color.  You tell me?  Moderator: Good, thank the Changjiang River. The people of Hong Kong are not worried that they have more to offer. I was like, you say in this situation who is the most happy? should be the merchant.  So who's the biggest worry, this thing? Bai: In fact, consumers, including the media, still have a lot of worries in Hong Kong. The first worry is that some businesses have already started to raise prices, and this price hike will make Hong Kong consumers go back.  You like powdered milk, because sell fire, secretly rose 10%, then he will be very worried. Then there is the worry that there are some necessities, like powdered milk, because this is not to be changed. If you like his children must eat, some supermarkets sell goods, he will be very embarrassed.  Therefore, both Macau and Hong Kong have made such a proposal that you have to levy a tax, but the government says no, no, because this violates the WTO principle. Therefore, some people will be worried, but I think the real consideration is the mainland, and that is, why is it that our relevant departments, including our producers, including the media, have such a situation? Are our taxes high? How do we improve the quality of our own products? Why now in a blink of an eye only 10 years of time, from the past people come to us to buy things, become we go to them to buy things, but our wages have risen so much?  And so this series is accompanied by a seemingly easy topic, I think the question mark thrown to everyone, to think. Moderator: Just now the Yangtze River also analyzed, some of the reasons for the common reasons.  Do you think there are other reasons besides exchange rate and so on? Bai: I think the deep reason is that it is a kind of confidence problem, this confidence just need us to build slowly. In fact, you say a lot of people go there to buy milk powder, just for that difference?  Not necessarily, because there are a lot of things are also very big difference, but why people do not so desperate to buy?  First, unlike powdered milk, which is closely related to the health of children, mainlanders are particularly interested in the health of their children. The second is related to the food safety incidents that have occurred in recent years.  Therefore, each person in the purchase, his subconscious has a trust and distrust of the comparison, compared to the value of the renminbi and the Hong Kong dollar, to compare the price of the comparison, but also promote his decision to buy, Rob. Moderator: We also looked at a moment ago, but also analyzed, mainland Chinese consumers shopping in Hong Kong.  It has been said that mainland Chinese consumers, viewed by businesses around the world, are among the most popular people, as their wallets go where they are. (short video) Commentary: Today, when we are concerned about the influx of people from inland coastal cities to Hong Kong, Macao to sweep goods, soy sauce, in fact, even if the country to go shopping, in this logistics, technology highly developed era, has not been a news. We are only surprised that some of the goods in foreign countries are originally made in China, the price is lower than the domestic, the difference and the domestic disparity, some even make people feel strange, dumbfounded.  We are puzzled, all this is why? Caption Tip: January 10, 2011 News foreign Cheap domestic maotai overseas is snapped up Liu Chang this Taiwan Reporter: I am now in Manhattan Chinatown in a wine shop, just the boss to us, a liter of maotai in their price here is about 280 dollars,  This 375 ml Maotai liquor Price is only 80 U.S. dollars. Explanation: With 375 ml 80 U.S. dollars, about 530 yuan of the price to convert, 500 ml maotai price of less than 700 yuan, only half of domestic prices.  And this is the price of Maotai in recent days after the increase in prices, before the price increase, maotai prices than domestic much cheaper, Chinatown sales of Maotai also sold.  Winery boss: Yesterday there is no goods to buy, just took a box to sell, the first two weeks a lot of people buy, is a box of two cases to buy back. Explanation: China, the United States price difference, this is the national wine Maotai.  And not only in the United States, Japan's price is also cheaper than China, such a domestic and foreign spreads also let some stewardess finished part-time work, Taobao on "stewardess airport to buy tax, 53 degrees flying Guizhou Moutai 500ml price 900 Yuan", which is cheaper than the domestic price 20% or 30%.  Caption Tip: Voice Source: Network Sellers network sellers: Maotai no goods, out of stock.  Reporter: The new year sale is too good? Online sellers: Yes.  Because I also from that friend take of (goods), affirmation of his own money, sell, he just give me some, now have Wuliangye.  Reporter: Where does wuliangye take?  Online sellers: Also Japan, cheap 200 yuan bar, two hundred or three hundred dollars.  Reporter: Then you can bring Chinese smoke what?  Online sellers: 273 (yuan) one.  Journalist: How can it be cheaper than at home?  Online sellers: Exports are cheaper than at home. Commentary: Japan to buy Maotai, South Korea with China, now Nanyan is a wall of flowers open wall outside incense.  This phenomenon is not only reflected in the tobacco and alcohol such standard products, more and more "Made in China" also presents a similar upside down phenomenon. Nie Huihua, Ph. D., who worked on economics at Harvard University in the United States,He has a deep understanding of this. Nie Huihua, associate professor, School of Economics, Renmin University of China: I bought a "Colombian" down jacket in a big mall in Boston, which was made in Chinese and marked "Made in China". At that time, the price is 69 U.S. dollars, the equivalent of renminbi, more than 400 yuan, less than 500 yuan.  If you go to Wangfujing shopping mall in Beijing to sell, I am afraid to sell more than 1000 yuan, twice times higher than the United States. Just the clothes is an example, the other is it products, such as the iphone and notebook computers. Now more popular iphone4 for example, in the United States, the bare metal is sold 600 U.S. dollars, that in China is estimated to sell more than 7,000 yuan.  If the same ThinkPad laptop, in China to sell 10,000 yuan, in the United States up to 6,000 dollars, or 7,000 dollars can be bought. Explanation: The same commodity, not the same price, small to shoes and hats, clothing, tobacco wine, makeup, large to technology products, luxury goods.  Travel abroad to buy some, study abroad to bring a little, relatives and friends entrusted with a little, not because of material scarcity, not because of enjoy high, often because of the attractive price. And from the China E-commerce Research Center, 2010 China E-commerce market Data Monitoring report shows that 2010 overseas purchasing market transactions reached 12 billion yuan.  Consumers in the most popular overseas purchasing products, cosmetics, bags, shoes, hats, clothing, electronic products are ranked in the forefront. Nie Huihua: According to General Common sense, the two major categories of products made in China are the most, one is clothing shoes and hats, and the second is electronic products.  Because clothing products and electronic products are labor-intensive products, and China has an absolute advantage in labor-intensive products, so the vast majority of these two products are made in China. Moderator: What do you think, the same goods made in China, buying in foreign countries is much cheaper than buying in China?  Is export drawback one of the biggest reasons? Bai: Let me first say one's own feelings and have a bit of a say. I have said this in the news 1+1, I said in the United States I heard the most of the three Chinese, the first sentence is "too cheap", the second is "I have to", the third sentence is "there".  So when I looked at the film, I thought of the three words that I heard the most. When it comes to Maotai, it's not just about the price. Many people buy wine abroad, buy cigarettes, one is cheap, and the most important thing is true, it is very important for people who drink. It seems that sometimes we have a lot of ourselves, and others are less, it may not be easy for others.  So not only because it's cheap, but because it's real. So speaking of what you just said, why is it cheaper to go abroad? I think, first, the export tax rebate is only one level. Another important point is that we can see that there are too many taxes in our country.Our domestic charge too much, the two together, coupled with the famous brand has a kind of consumption and so on, so that its price gradually climbed, high to an unreasonable point, serious upside down.  Therefore, I think that the reasons behind this, I would like to say which is wrong, as long as these add together, it is possible to approach the right.  Moderator: I mentioned the export tax rebate, some people said that China is using Chinese taxpayers ' money to subsidize the world's consumers, so that products to foreign countries, but will be cheaper than in China? Bai: Yes.  But at present, the Internet, especially when the world has become flat such a point of view, we can clearly see such a gap. In addition, I think there are some problems that we have to reflect on now. We can say happily that Chinese tourists are now fully supporting international GDP. And why? We all spend our money abroad. Because we have a lot of imports of goods tax is very high, see in taxes, business tax, excise tax, VAT, seven plus eight plus on the high, no wonder years ago, a magazine covers the cover of "middle-class million tax."  A lot of tax is a part of the price growth. It is still visible, and the unseen is still charging. For example, our transport costs, some people say, in the domestic production, how instead in foreign countries also sell cheap? It is more expensive to transport from Guangdong to Beijing than from Guangdong to the United States. How much did you charge for the freeway? After the arrival in Beijing, the Carrefour people also accept the entrance fee.  Then there are the various grey PR costs, the seven plus eight plus the price went up again. Therefore, the visible tax, the invisible fee, there is room for reform.  So, we are now going abroad to rob things, including to rob things abroad, to Hong Kong, Macao and so on, has been like a mirror, in the same way, according to our own problems.  Moderator: One of the problems is that logistics costs are too high, China's logistics costs accounted for more than 20% of GDP, the world's average level is only one-second of our. Bai: So in preparation for this topic, suddenly see, a lot of people are very easy to think of the early days of the highway sky-high charges case. Why did that case suddenly detonate the high level of concern of almost all Internet media people?  In fact, there is a very important point (reason), we have already felt it, it is just like the last straw crushed camel, so that everyone suddenly began to feel that this thing can not be so, our logistics costs are too high.  Moderator: You think, the current situation, we do not go out to (travel), shopping in the tourism accounted for a large amount of this situation, how to see? Bai: I think we need to think in three ways: first, for luxury goods, many people have asked such a question, do we still need this high tax?  The result of high taxes has not only stopped people from spending more, but has encouraged people to go abroad to support their foreign GDP.  Moderator: No limit.Bai: Yes, this tax should be considered.  Secondly, it is obvious that the tax and the fee that cannot be collected will be checked and gradually lowered, so that our price standard is normal. In addition, we certainly hope that wages will rise.  If the wages rise, along with your price rise, the appreciation of the renminbi, we do not think out of the words, I am still more reliable. Finally, I particularly want to emphasize that we have to use a long time to make our products are true, so that our products are not adulterated, so that our food safety is also safe and reliable.  Only when the foundation is compacted, people will not see the milk powder, in order to buy confidence, to buy a reliable, but willing to pay.  Moderator: But we say this is a too big system, too big project. Bai: No, but this is the core, as long as the last point does not change, even if the foreign than your expensive, I am afraid there are quite a lot of mom, Dad, willing to go abroad to buy milk powder, to Hong Kong to rob milk powder, to rob soy sauce.  Because he thinks safety is priceless, not to mention it's cheaper now. So, seemingly very big, little, daily necessities youyanjiangcu tea with each person's life tightly related, must tamp.
