In the first half of May, the global film market was almost dominated by "The Matrix". Even in Japan and South Korea, where local films are very popular, there is no film that can compete with it for the weekly box office championship. With it singing and advancing, Yiqi Juechen leaves others behind!
It has to be said that the wonderful special effects, refreshing plot, and tense fighting scenes of "The Matrix" have indeed won the praise of the vast majority of audiences and film critics, and even in order to understand this movie, Many viewers bought tickets to watch the movie multiple times.And the boom in movie viewing has also made cinemas in various countries arrange more screens and shows for "The Matrix" in order to meet the needs of the people. This makes the global box office of "The Matrix" rapidly expand like a balloon. Get up, quickly broke through the billion dollar and 15 billion dollar mark, and went straight to the 20 billion dollar mark.

So far, no one doubts whether the global box office of "The Matrix" can break the $20 billion mark, as long as the schedule is longer.And those theater bosses who have made a lot of money because of "The Matrix" will refuse to extend the schedule?The result is of course no!If such a rare opportunity is not grasped, they are not worthy of being a qualified boss.So even in countries like France, Japan, and South Korea, which have always taken good care of local films, the relevant departments turned a blind eye to this issue, watching "The Matrix" occupy most of the domestic screens!
And more importantly, there is another important film market—China, which has not yet officially opened for release.The reason is very simple. The grading and review work of "The Matrix" is coming to an end at this time, and the domestic release of "The Matrix" will be postponed until after May [-]th.In this regard, domestic movie fans expressed strong dissatisfaction.The films invested and produced by Huaxia Film Company were actually seen by Chinese people later than many countries in the world, which made them feel very ridiculous.

Fang Mingyuan took a more open view of this, compared with many domestic filmmakers.I and the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company are already very lucky. "The Matrix" is only released relatively late. Unlike some movies, they have already gained fame at international film festivals. Domestic movie fans don't know yet. There is even no channel to watch it!Moreover, compared with the previous life, although the domestic movie rating system that has been launched has various deficiencies in Fang Mingyuan's view, being able to launch a domestic rating system now is a great victory in itself!

As for China, as a country with a population of more than one billion.The booming film market will become the second largest film market in the world after the North American film market in the future, and the box office it can contribute is quite amazing.

What people are concerned about now is whether "The Matrix" may squeeze "Titanic" from the second place in the world box office, and even threaten "Terminator 3" from the world box office champion!
And while "The Matrix" was showing worldwide popularity, another huge trade dispute involving hundreds of millions of dollars was taking place.

On May [-], the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China issued a notice that the customs had repeatedly found that soybeans imported from Brazil contained seed coating soybeans.Decided to suspend the qualification of four overseas soybean suppliers including Louis Dafus Group to export soybeans to China!At the same time, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of Huaxia clearly requires domestic inspection and quarantine agencies at all levels not to ignore the law enforcement of imported goods, and not to ignore their fundamental responsibility to protect the country and the people!Inspection and quarantine agencies at all levels must attach equal importance to the inspection and quarantine duties of export commodities and import commodities!
On the same day, the Huaxia General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine also officially notified the Brazilian embassy in China that the Huaxia government cannot tolerate any seed coating residues in the soybeans exported from Brazil to Huaxia!

As a result, the trade relationship between Brazil and China suddenly became tense.

May 21th and [-]th.The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of Huaxia once again announced that it has issued a suspension of soybean import qualifications to [-] overseas suppliers found to contain seed coating soybeans exported to China, including the four major multinational grain giants.

Relevant departments in Brazil and the United States reacted strongly to this.

Michael Kidd Gilchrist, president of Brazil's National Council of Grain Exporters, said.This may cause up to nearly [-] million tons of Brazilian soybeans to be unable to be shipped for export, causing serious losses of hundreds of millions of dollars to the Brazilian soybean industry.

Carter Krusman, president of the Brazilian Agribusiness Association, publicly declared that Brazil would join forces with the United States and Argentina to put pressure on China to ask the Chinese government to lift the ban.Otherwise, all exporters will have to unite and put pressure on their respective governments, asking the governments of the three countries to unite to protest China's practices to the WTO.

Locke James, president of the Brazilian Vegetable Oil Industry Association, announced after Carter Krusman that representatives of the National Oilseed Processors Association, the American Soybean Association and the Argentine Oilseed Industry Federation have publicly expressed their support for Carter Krusman's proposal .

At the same time, Martel Marnes, the chief representative of China of the American Soybean Association, also publicly declared that it is unscientific and unrealistic for the Chinese government to require that soybeans be exported without any seed coating agents. The amount of soybean seed coating agent contained in soybean is very small, and after processing into soybean oil, the possibility of causing harm to human body is extremely low.

Robert Morris, the director of the American Soybean Association, condemned the Chinese government, and believed that the introduction of this measure was not because the soybeans were mixed with seed coating soybeans, but because the Chinese government wanted to curb the total amount of imported soybeans!Tariff barriers are replaced by non-tariff barriers!
Regarding the accusations made by Brazil and the United States, Huaxia clearly pointed out that after joining the WTO, Huaxia has complied with its commitments and significantly reduced tariffs on agricultural products.The average tariff level of agricultural products in all countries in the world is about 60.00%, and the highest tariff can reach 15.00%!However, the average tariff level of agricultural products in China is only 60.00% [-], which is less than a quarter of the average tariff level of agricultural products in the world, and the highest tariff is only [-]%[-].

In terms of soybean imports, the Chinese government has canceled import quota restrictions in 20.00, and the import binding tariff has also been reduced from 30.00% to [-]%. The highest agricultural product, which makes the import price of soybean and its products lower than the domestic price, even lower than the domestic production cost!At the same time, there are many countries whose soybean import tariff is [-]% to [-]%!Even higher!

The United States accused the Chinese government of replacing tariff barriers with non-tariff barriers, and restricting soybean imports is extremely unfair.

The Chinese government also clearly pointed out that in order to protect the health of their citizens, many countries have enacted strict animal and plant inspection and quarantine laws, which require strict quarantine and epidemic prevention systems for imported agricultural products and food.Moreover, inspection standards and inspection time are often changed and adjusted.When Huaxia's agricultural products are exported, they follow the legal standards of the importing country, so imported soybeans must follow Huaxia's domestic legal requirements.The Chinese government believes that the accusation made by the United States that the "zero tolerance" standard is unscientific and unrealistic is pure nonsense!At the same time, the Chinese government pointed out that due to the high agricultural subsidies given by the US government to soybeans, cotton, wheat, corn and other crops, this has caused a strong impact on the agriculture of developing countries, including China, Brazil, Argentina, India and many other countries. The Huaxia government will consider negotiating with the governments of countries whose agricultural products have been dumped by the United States, and submit a draft to the WTO meeting held at the end of July and early August, requesting to limit the proportion of the US government's subsidies for agricultural products and crack down on the US's dumping of agricultural products from other countries!
This proposal of the Chinese government immediately received positive responses from the European Union and the Brazilian Cotton Industry Association.And in the next few days, many countries expressed explicitly or implicitly that they would support the Chinese government's draft proposal at the World Trade Organization meeting!

Taylor Mischler, Commissioner for Agriculture of the European Commission, publicly issued a statement saying that since [-], the U.S. government has accused other governments, especially the governments of EU countries, of subsidizing farmers, but the U.S. government itself has continued to To increase subsidies to farmers, the annual subsidy amount has far exceeded the standard stipulated in the agricultural agreement reached in the Uruguay Round!

Taylor Mischler also pointed out that since 150, the U.S. government has increased direct support funds for domestic agriculture by more than [-] percent. Just this year, the U.S. government has decided to spend up to [-] billion US dollars is used for agricultural product purchase subsidies, but the US government has publicly promised to reduce support for the agricultural sector. This kind of inconsistent behavior is a heavy blow to the international reputation of the US government!

Omer Caspi, president of the Brazilian Cotton Association, also publicly accused the US government of subsidizing domestic cotton production at US$120 billion from [-] to [-], which made US cotton The planting area continues to expand, and low-priced American cotton strongly impacts the world cotton market, causing the world cotton price to continue to fall, causing serious damage to the domestic cotton industry in Brazil. Many cotton farmers have to give up planting cotton, causing Brazil to lose [-] to [-] million every year. Dollar!The Brazilian Cotton Industry Association will ask the government to formally submit a proposal to the World Trade Organization, appealing to the United States to increase subsidies to cotton in violation of regulations!
