Li Zhenqing, Deputy Director of the Inspection Department of Yangshan Customs, introduced: "Taking fruits as an example, since the beginning of this year, Yangshan Port has imported 127 million yuan of fruits from other BRICS countries, weighing 17500 tons. Under the premise of strictly controlling the safety of imported food, we have implemented measures such as" early declaration "," two-stage access ", and" unaccompanied inspection "to facilitate customs clearance and ensure the safe and efficient clearance of imported agricultural products."

The "Qixi Festival" just passed also prompted South Africa to welcome a wave of imported flowers. At around 10am on August 21st, at the fully enclosed fresh cut flower inspection site dedicated to Shanghai Pudong International Airport, more than 18000 fresh cut flowers from South Africa, including emperor flowers and bride flowers, underwent customs inspection and quickly cleared customs.

"This batch of fresh cut flowers was imported from South Africa and transported to Pudong Airport. We will focus on checking whether the fresh cut flowers contain soil and whether there are symptoms of disease and pest hazards." Li Ping, the head of the five inspection departments at the customs' physical control inspection department of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, said, "In order to ensure that imported flowers can seize the 'fresh' market, we have opened emergency order windows at night and on weekends, achieving 'on-demand inspection' and '7-24' uninterrupted guarantee of timely clearance of fresh goods."

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
