Garbage is a misplaced resource. How to make waste "turn waste into treasure" and do a good job of classified recycling is very important. In Nanchuan, a "two-network integrated recycling service point" is a concrete practice to promote the recycling management of renewable resources.

In order to start from the source recycling and create a new model of "fixed-point, fixed-time, fixed-car" recycling of renewable resources, Nanchuan District Urban Management Bureau has promoted the standardization of recycling industry and further improved the recycling rate of urban domestic waste by integrating the collection and transportation system of urban domestic waste with the recycling system of renewable resources.

Recyclable materials are collected at home.

The recycler is sorting, packing and loading the recycled materials.

Recently, An Shuiquan, a recycler who has been busy all morning, is sorting and packaging recycled waste paper boxes, plastic bottles, cans and other recyclables at the two-network integrated recycling service point outside Longji Community.

"The service point has been running for two years, and all we have to do is garbage sorting, door-to-door recycling, subdivision and packaging." An Shuiquan told reporters that he is responsible for the recycling of recyclables in four nearby communities every day, with an average of about 500 kilograms a day.

"Start at 7: 30 every morning and ride a tricycle to various communities for recycling." An Shuiquan said that the property management of the community will also inform the owners in advance, so that everyone can bring their own recyclable materials to the designated concentration point of the community, and then weigh and settle accounts. "Like everyone usually unpacks express cartons, we will pay 80 cents to residents for recycling 1 kg, and 89 yuan for cans 1 kg."

For residents with mobility difficulties, the staff of the two-network integration recycling service point will also provide on-site service. "Our website has published the telephone number, so just call if necessary."

68 recycling service points have been built in the whole region.

Residents send waste materials to recycling service points.

Since 2023, Nanchuan District Urban Management Bureau and District Commercial Committee have started the construction of integrated recycling service points of sanitation system and renewable resources recycling system, and gradually built the whole process system from the source to the end, such as integrated recycling service points, transfer stations and distribution yards.

Among them, the two-network integrated recycling service points specially set up in residential areas, public places or commercial squares are recycling places for recycling, sorting, storing and transferring recyclable materials in the classification of domestic waste of residents and units; The street (township) regional two-network integration transfer station is a recycling place for centralized recycling and storage of domestic renewable resources, and has the functions of sorting, packaging and transshipment; The two-network integrated distribution center with the service scope of the district is a large-scale distribution center for renewable resources of life source, which can meet the annual recycling and distribution volume of more than 200,000 tons and has the functions of commodity trading, sorting and processing, warehousing and distribution and supporting services.

Chen Hongying, head of the Domestic Waste Classification Office of Nanchuan District Urban Management Bureau, said that according to the principle of easy delivery, 68 two-network integrated recycling service points with unified identification signs and facilities and equipment specifications have been built in the whole region, realizing the full coverage of renewable resources recycling services in the region.

"At present, we are planning measures to make an appointment for home recycling and discount supermarket shopping, and call on more residents to participate in garbage recycling." Chen Hongying said that the former will introduce a "digital door-to-door reservation recycling management" system, so that residents can recycle online and offline like express delivery; The latter cooperates with local supermarkets and convenience stores in Nanchuan, so that residents involved in garbage recycling can realize shopping discounts and play a better incentive role.

In addition to the small and light recyclables produced in daily life, Nanchuan took the lead in exploring the large and heavy recyclables such as worn-out furniture in Xicheng Street last year, relying on the social governance network, and implementing the modes of "party building+property" and "party building+voluntary service", and embarked on a "city management department guidance+community inspection and filing+enterprise professional service+online reservation+door-to-door collection and transportation".

This move not only makes the large-scale garbage that has long plagued the community environment be utilized as resources, but also saves the cost of the management department, at the same time, it maximizes the reduction of the source of domestic garbage, and comprehensively creates a good atmosphere of "citizen participation is hot, community development is dynamic, and cadres have responsibilities".

In areas such as old residential areas, back streets and alleys, and dead corners of environmental sanitation management, the local authorities give full play to the role of community grid workers and cleaning staff, strengthen the frequency of inspections in the responsible areas, and timely discover and report the large pieces of garbage discarded by citizens and appearing on both sides of the road, and get in touch with recycling enterprises and cooperate with them for disposal.

In the property management community, a special area for large-scale garbage is designated, which is collected, transported and disposed of by recycling enterprises on a regular basis. At the same time, recycling enterprises open their contact information to the public through multiple channels, and provide large-scale garbage to make an appointment for door-to-door removal and disposal services to further optimize the mode of facilitating the people and benefiting the people.

Yao Tao, secretary of the Party Committee and director of Nanchuan Urban Management Bureau, said that promoting the "two-network integration" between the collection and transportation system of municipal solid waste and the recycling system of renewable resources is an important measure to improve the efficiency of municipal solid waste treatment and the level of resource recycling. The District Urban Management Bureau will continue to do a good job in garbage sorting, strictly regulate the management of recycling of renewable resources, and continue to promote the recycling service of renewable resources to be more accurate and efficient.

　　Beijing, Oct. 20 (Reporter Li Jinlei) On Oct. 20, the Interim Measures for Special Additional Deduction of Personal Income Tax was publicly solicited for comments from the whole society. The standards for the six special additional deductions for children’s education, continuing education, serious illness medical care, housing loan interest or housing rent, and supporting the elderly have been clarified. These expenses will be deducted before tax, which will save you a lot of money!

　　Let’s see how much money can be deducted from each standard first.

　　— — Children’s education: 12,000 yuan is deducted annually.

　　The expenses related to the taxpayer’s children’s pre-school education and academic education shall be deducted according to the standard of 12,000 yuan per child per year (1000 yuan per month). Among them, preschool education is from the age of 3 to the primary school; Academic education covers primary school to doctoral students.

　　— — Continuing education: 3,600 yuan or 4,800 yuan will be deducted annually.

　　Taxpayers’ expenses for continuing education with academic qualifications shall be deducted according to the quota of 4,800 yuan per year (monthly 400 yuan) during the period of academic education; Taxpayers’ expenses for continuing education of professional qualifications of skilled personnel and professional and technical personnel shall be deducted according to the annual quota of 3,600 yuan in the year when relevant certificates are obtained.

　　— — Serious illness medical treatment: the annual limit for the part exceeding 15,000 yuan is 60,000 yuan.

　　In a tax year, the part of the medical expenses recorded by the taxpayer in the social medical insurance management information system that the individual bears more than 15,000 yuan is the medical expenses for serious illness, which can be deducted according to the standard limit of 60,000 yuan per year.

　　— — Interest on the first home loan: deducted according to the standard of 12,000 yuan per year.

　　Taxpayers or their spouses use personal housing loans from commercial banks or housing accumulation funds to purchase housing for themselves or their spouses. During the loan repayment period, the interest expenses of the first housing loan can be deducted according to the standard of 12,000 yuan per year. With the agreement of both husband and wife, you can choose to deduct it from one of them.

　　— — Housing rent: the maximum monthly fixed deduction is 1200 yuan.

　　The taxpayer and his spouse have no housing in the taxpayer’s main working city, but the rental expenses incurred in renting housing in the main working city can be deducted according to the following standards:

　　The rented house is located in municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capital cities, cities with separate plans and other cities determined by the State Council, and the deduction standard is 14,400 yuan per year (1,200 yuan per month); In addition to the above-mentioned cities, the deduction standard is 12,000 yuan per year (1000 yuan per month) for other cities with a registered population of more than 1 million, and 9,600 yuan per year (800 yuan per month) for other cities with a registered population of less than 1 million.

　　— — Support for the elderly: deducted according to the standard quota of 2,000 yuan per month.

　　The taxpayer’s support expenses for parents over 60 years old (inclusive) and other legal dependents can be deducted according to the following standards:

　　If the taxpayer is an only child, it will be deducted according to the standard quota of 24,000 yuan per year (2,000 yuan per month); If the taxpayer is a non-only child, it shall share the deduction amount of 24,000 yuan per year with its brothers and sisters.

　　According to the provisions of the interim measures, the special additional deduction standard is not static, and will be adjusted in a timely manner with the changes in people’s livelihood expenditures such as education, housing and medical care.

　　Then, according to the above standards, how much money can ordinary people save?

　　Let’s look at the calculation formula first

　　Taxable income = monthly income -5000 yuan (threshold)-special deduction (three insurances and one gold, etc.)-special additional deduction-other deductions determined according to law.

　　For example, a married person, Xiao Li, works in Beijing with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan, a special deduction of 2,000 yuan for "three insurances and one gold" and a monthly rent of 4,000 yuan. She has a child who goes to kindergarten and her parents are over 60 years old.

　　When the threshold is 3,500 yuan, there is no special additional deduction, and a monthly tax of 345 yuan is required;

　　When the threshold is 5,000 yuan, there is no special additional deduction, and it is required to pay (10,000-5,000-2000) × 3% = 90 yuan individual tax every month.

　　According to the new policy, Xiao Li can enjoy the deduction of 1200 yuan for housing rent, 1000 yuan for children’s education, and 1000 yuan for supporting the elderly (sharing the deduction with her sister), so the individual tax = (10000-5000-2000-1200-1000-1000) × 3% = 0 yuan.

　　In other words, after enjoying the special additional deduction, the monthly salary is 10,000 yuan, and the monthly tax payment may be 0!

　　How to handle it?

　　According to the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Individual Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (Revised Draft for Comment)", the handling method of special additional deduction is clarified. Taxpayers who obtain wages and salaries can provide information when withholding agents withhold and pay in advance; Taxpayers who obtain income from remuneration for labor services, remuneration for manuscripts and royalties shall do so at the time of final settlement.

　　Don’t try to cheat! Because the tax authorities can conduct spot checks on the special additional deduction information provided by taxpayers according to a certain proportion.

　　If the information submitted by the taxpayer is found to be untrue before the end of the settlement period, the tax authorities shall order the taxpayer to correct it and notify the withholding agent; If the above problems are found again before the end of the settlement period in that year, the taxpayer shall be punished according to law, and incorporated into the relevant credit information system according to the situation, and joint punishment shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state.

　　When will it be implemented?

　　The Interim Measures for Special Additional Deduction of Individual Income Tax will be implemented on January 1, 2019 according to law after being publicly solicited for opinions. (End)

Notice on the reward for reporting anti-smuggling clues. On the way to smuggling, treading on thin ice

But there are still people who take risks and steal across the country (border)

The act of sneaking across the country (border) hinders the social management order.

Violate the law

It may even be punished by punishment.

Let’s look at a case.

In February 2020, at the invitation of others, in order to make money by gambling abroad, the defendants Wen, Zhang, Yu and Liu sneaked into Myanmar from Yunnan under the arrangement of others. In March of the same year, four people sneaked back to China across the railing from the China-Myanmar border, and were seized by the police station after crossing the border.

The court held that the defendants Wen Mou, Zhang Mou, Yu Mou and Liu Mou violated the laws and regulations on border control and, without going through legal entry and exit procedures, ganged up to engage in gambling activities across the country (border). The circumstances were serious and their actions constituted the crime of stealing across the country (border). In addition, four people colluded to cross the country (border) during a major epidemic in COVID-19, which hindered the control of the epidemic and was given a heavier punishment as appropriate. Although the four people voluntarily surrendered themselves, they did not truthfully confess the facts of the crime, and they were able to truthfully confess the facts of the crime in the supplementary investigation stage. They were all frank and could be given a lighter punishment. Four people voluntarily pleaded guilty and pleaded guilty. The court sentenced the defendant Wen to six months in prison and fined him 5,000 yuan. The defendants Zhang, Yu and Liu were sentenced to five months in prison and fined 4,000 yuan.

　　According to today’s Russian (RT) news, on 24th local time, Russian Prime Minister Mishustin dismissed Alexander Suhanov, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, whose main work included ensuring the safety of strategic transportation facilities such as the Crimea Bridge.

　　RT quoted Russian media RBK as saying that Suhanov’s dismissal may be related to the truck explosion on the Crimea Bridge earlier this month. In 2017, he took up the post of Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation.

　　Russian media said that a document issued by the Russian federal government showed that Suhanov was dismissed "at his own request".

　　On October 8, the strategic Crimea Bridge exploded, killing three civilians and setting fire to a passing freight train. The Russian side called the explosion a "terrorist attack" and accused the Ukrainian government of being responsible for it. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said that Russia confirmed 12 suspects suspected of involvement in the bombing and arrested 8 of them.

　　Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, January 5 (Reporter Nie Cuirong) The latest issue of Clinical Chemistry in the United States published the research results of Zhao Huijun, a professor at the School of Medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong: A variety of single-gene mutations inherited from parents can be detected by taking blood from pregnant women, and some mutations can even be detected as early as 6 weeks of pregnancy. Professor Zhao Huijun said in an interview with reporters on the 5 th that the new detection method is not only safer, but also greatly simplified in operation. Almost all hospitals with molecular analysis experience can carry out it, and the test results can be obtained after one or two weeks of blood drawing.

　　At present, about one in every 100 newborns carries genetic variation. Zhao Huijun’s team has developed a non-invasive prenatal examination technology (NIPT), which can replace amniocentesis technology and directly screen Down syndrome through pregnant women’s blood samples. This technology has been used in more than 60 countries.

　　In addition to Down syndrome, genetic diseases such as muscular dystrophy and Huntington’s chorea can help expectant mothers choose whether to terminate their pregnancy. Some fatal diseases, such as sickle cell anemia, hemophilia and cystic fibrosis, can also be treated in time, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which can be prevented by cholesterol treatment before 9 weeks of pregnancy. Thalassemia can be completely cured by blood transfusion immediately after birth. "In the future, some genetic variants can even be treated in utero with gene therapy." Zhao Huijun said.

　　In the latest research, Zhao Huijun’s team expanded the previous Down’s blood test screening technology, which can theoretically detect any single gene variation within 6 weeks to 10 weeks of pregnancy. They used linkage identification sequencing technology to obtain haploids of both parents, then detected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pregnant women’s blood, and finally used their developed relative haploid dosimetry (RHDO) to infer whether the fetus inherited a genetic variation. In the experiment involving 13 families, the new technology successfully detected fetal genetic variation in 12 of them, with very high accuracy.

　　The new detection technology will be first used for couples with a family history of genetic diseases, but Professor Zhao Huijun hopes to extend it to the general prenatal screening procedure soon. Andrew Maclennan, a famous Australian production inspection expert, also said: "The new technology market has great potential."

　　 The greatness of a mother lies in extending her life. Morning sickness, childbirth, and body deformation can all survive or not care, but children must not make "mistakes" and grow up healthily. But there are a series of diseases, stained with the word "heredity", which suddenly makes new parents unable to be angry and full of self-blame. If we want to prevent genetic information from becoming a disease, it is best to know in advance, it is best to be non-invasive and painless, and it is best to operate simply. Thanks to Zhao Huijun’s team, they did it with the help of genetic testing technology.

The way of brotherhood is to unite as one.

　　Voice of China reporter:On June 2, China and Argentina signed a cooperation plan on jointly promoting the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. In February last year, China and Arab countries signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build the "Belt and Road". What cooperation has China and Arab countries carried out over the past year or so? What specific changes will the signing of the "Belt and Road" cooperation plan between China and Arab countries bring to the pragmatic cooperation between the two sides?

　　Zou Xiaoli:At the beginning of last year, China and Argentina signed a memorandum of understanding on the cooperation of building the Belt and Road, which was a new important milestone in the history of bilateral relations. Over the past year or so, the two sides have made important and positive progress in policy communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade, financial intermediation and popular support. The two heads of state met face to face twice to jointly draw a blueprint for China-Arab relations and pragmatic cooperation; China enterprises participate more extensively and deeply in Argentina’s transportation, energy, electricity and people’s livelihood projects, expand investment in mining industry in Argentina, and expand cooperation in scientific and technological innovation; Last year, the bilateral trade volume between China and Arab countries increased by 20.1% year-on-year, reaching $21.37 billion, breaking through the $20 billion mark for the first time; The service of RMB clearing bank in Argentina was officially launched, and the scale of RMB use was further expanded. Since May this year, all Argentine imports from China have been settled in RMB; Last year, China and Arab countries took the opportunity of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations to hold a series of activities for the Year of Friendly Cooperation, which enhanced the mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples and laid a solid social and humanistic foundation for deepening bilateral relations and promoting the "Belt and Road" cooperation.

　　Zou Xiaoli:A few days ago, the China Chamber of Commerce (Argentina) released "The way of brotherhood is unity and unity — — China-Argentina Cooperation Achievement Report (2023) vividly shows the glorious course of "One Belt, One Road" cooperation between Chinese-funded institutions and enterprises in Argentina, together with local partners, with illustrated forms and a large number of facts and data. It is delightful and exciting to read!

　　Zou Xiaoli:On June 2nd, this year, China and Argentina took another crucial step in building the Belt and Road Initiative. The two governments signed a cooperation plan on jointly promoting the Belt and Road Initiative. This document further enriched the cooperation areas and key projects of the Belt and Road Initiative between the two countries, clarified the ways and means of cooperation, promoted the docking of development strategies, greatly boosted the confidence of the economic and social circles of the two countries in strengthening exchanges and cooperation and seeking common development, and built the Belt and Road Initiative with high quality. It is worth mentioning that this year marks the tenth anniversary of the "Belt and Road Initiative". Faced with a series of challenges, such as instability and increasing uncertainty in the international situation, globalization encountering counter-current, unilateralism, protectionism and hegemonism rampant, China and Argentina, as members of the G-20 and developing countries, signed a cooperation plan to promote the "Belt and Road Initiative", which is conducive to deepening South-South cooperation and China-Latin America cooperation and promoting the building of a community of human destiny.

China and Arab countries signed a cooperation plan to promote the construction of the "Belt and Road"

Widely concerned by Latin America.

　　Voice of China reporter:From the signing of the memorandum of understanding to the signing of the cooperation plan, Argentina is at the forefront of Latin American countries in building the "Belt and Road". How will this exemplary role promote China’s "One Belt, One Road" cooperation with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean?

　　Zou Xiaoli:Argentina is a big country in Latin America and the farthest place from China. At the beginning of last year, China and Argentina signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build the "Belt and Road" cooperation, marking the successful extension of the "Belt and Road" to the southernmost tip of the world, and Argentina became the first Latin American power to formally join the "Belt and Road" cooperation family. After more than a year, the Chinese and Argentine governments have recently signed a cooperation plan to promote the construction of the Belt and Road, which reflects the vitality and broad prospects of the "Belt and Road" cooperation and has once again attracted widespread attention from the international community, especially Latin America. It is believed that with the full implementation of the "One Belt, One Road" cooperation plan between China and Argentina, Argentina will play an increasingly important role in promoting regional infrastructure connectivity, smooth trade, industrial integration and integration, benefiting more people in Latin America.

　　Zou Xiaoli:Last year, Argentina held the rotating presidency of the Latin American Community and worked closely with China to enrich the activities of the China-Latin America Forum and expand the areas of China-Latin America cooperation. Recently, when talking about the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, the Speaker of the Argentine House of Representatives Moreau said with deep feelings that the "One Belt, One Road" initiative proposed by China is very important for promoting Argentina’s trade and economic development. When China provides assistance to Argentina, it does not attach political conditions. It should extend this cooperation concept to multilateral international financial institutions including the International Monetary Fund, so that more Latin American countries can benefit from it. This shows that the principle of mutual cooperation, co-construction and sharing of the Belt and Road Initiative has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is conducive to further enhancing the vitality, creativity and attractiveness of the Belt and Road cooperation, promoting the cooperation between China and Latin America to achieve more fruitful results, and raising the China-Latin America relationship of equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness and benefiting the people in the new era to a new level.

　　Voice of China reporter:In recent years, China and Argentina have achieved fruitful cooperation in many fields, such as energy and infrastructure. Many projects have benefited the people of both sides, and some key projects are progressing steadily, such as the Gisai Hydropower Project in Argentina, which was built by Chinese enterprises. What is the current progress of this project? What changes will the project bring to the local area after it is completed for power generation?

　　Zou Xiaoli:Gisai Hydropower Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina is the largest cooperation project between China and Argentina, and also the largest hydropower project under construction in South America. Together with local partners, China Nengjian Gezhouba Group, which undertook the project, overcame severe challenges and many difficulties such as complex geological and climatic conditions and COVID-19 epidemic. As of May this year, 51.22% of the total progress of the project has been completed, which meets the requirements of the implementation plan. The first turbine was delivered to the construction site at the end of last year. According to the latest master schedule, the two hydropower stations of the project will be completed in February 2025 and August 2028 respectively.

　　On December 7, 2022, the first axial-flow paddle turbine of JC Power Station of Argentine Gisai Hydropower Project, which was jointly built by China enterprises and local enterprises, arrived in Argentina from China (Source: WeChat WeChat official account, Embassy of China in Argentina).

　　Zou Xiaoli:At present, there are more than 3,000 employees working for the project, and the proportion of local employees is over 95%. At the peak of the project construction, there are more than 5,000 direct employees, and as many as 15,000 indirect jobs have been created. The construction of the project has a positive impact on the economy of the local Santa Cruz province, and promoted the rapid development of steel, fuel, catering, passenger transport, logistics, medical care, security and other industries. After the completion of the project, the total installed capacity of Argentina’s electric power will be increased by about 6.5%, and the fuel import foreign exchange will be saved by 1.1 billion US dollars every year.

Businessmen and entrepreneurs applying for visas to China

"Squeezing" the Embassy Reservation System

　　Voice of China reporter:Since the beginning of this year, China’s economic operation has maintained a good trend, and its market potential has been continuously released, which has been favored by global investors. What are the views of Argentine local circles on China’s economic development prospects? What is the impact of China’s economic performance on Argentina?

　　Zou Xiaoli:China has been Argentina’s second largest trading partner and largest export market for agricultural products for many years. 80% of Argentina’s beef, 88% of soybeans and 20% of aquatic products are sold to China market, and the demand exceeds the supply. At present, many Argentine beef enterprises are expanding their production capacity, mainly aiming at the China market. At the same time, China has continuously opened its market to Albania, and soybean meal, honey, cherries, blueberries, grapes, chilled beef, mutton, horses and pork have all been exported to China. China’s super-large-scale market attracts more and more Albanian enterprises to actively participate in China Canton Fair, China International Import Expo(CIIE), Service Trade Fair, Xiya International Food Exhibition, etc., and local businessmen and entrepreneurs who apply for visas to China "burst" the reservation system of our embassy.

　　On March 30, 2023, the Argentina Special Promotion Conference of the 6th China International Import Expo was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Zou Xiaoli, Ambassador of China to Argentina, gave a keynote speech (Source: website of China Embassy in Argentina).

　　Zou Xiaoli:In March this year, the Argentina Special Promotion Conference of the 6th China International Import Expo was held in Buenos Aires, and more than 200 trade and investment promotion agencies, key industry associations and business leaders actively participated. A few days ago, Beijing — The Argentina Economic and Trade Cooperation Promotion Fair was packed, with more than 100 people than the organizers expected. Enterprises of the two countries signed a number of cooperation agreements, involving agriculture, scientific and technological innovation, information technology and culture. It is worth mentioning that Argentina has begun to pay attention to the development of China’s tourism, sports, culture and art markets, which will promote the rapid growth of service trade between the two countries, create a large number of new jobs for Argentina, increase its foreign exchange sources and reserves, and realize diversified, green and sustainable economic development.

Choose China for its

As the "Samsung" world champion team, it is no accident to make its debut abroad.

　　Voice of China reporter:Since the establishment of diplomatic ties more than 50 years ago, cooperation in sports and other fields has also brought the people of the two countries closer. Next week, Argentina’s national men’s football team will play a friendly match in Beijing. These days, everyone pays special attention to this game. Why did the Argentine national men’s football team choose China for its debut abroad? Can you share with us your feelings and expectations for China-Arab cooperation in the field of football?

　　Zou Xiaoli:What China fans are most concerned about and looking forward to now is that the Argentine national men’s football team will play against the Australian national men’s football team at the Beijing Workers Stadium on June 15th, which will be the first time for the Argentine men’s football team to compete abroad after winning the championship in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022. I am reminded of a sentence by the famous Argentine poet Borges: the meeting of two souls is not accidental. It’s no accident that Argentines chose China for their debut as the "Samsung" world champion team. Broadly speaking, this is due to the high-level development of China-Arab relations in recent years, especially the joint efforts of the two countries to fight the COVID-19 epidemic, jointly promote the "Belt and Road" cooperation, celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and hold the China-Arab friendly cooperation year. The traditional friendship between the two peoples has been continuously sublimated, vividly explaining the true meaning of "knowing each other is not far away, and heaven remains our neighbourhood". From the specific field of football, both the China government and the people pay more and more attention to youth football training, which provides an important opportunity for China and to deepen football exchanges and cooperation. According to incomplete statistics, before the COVID-19 epidemic, more than 100 young soccer players from China received training in Argentina, and dozens of soccer coaches from Argentina worked in schools all over China, which was very popular. It is estimated that China needs to introduce about 2,000 Argentine football coaches to help us train young football players, which has great attraction to Argentina.

　　On April 4, 2023, Zou Xiaoli, Ambassador of China to Argentina, was invited to visit the headquarters of the Argentine Football Association and was warmly received by tapia, President of the Football Association (Source: website of the China Embassy in Argentina).

　　Zou Xiaoli:I once talked with Mr. tapia, President of Argentine Football Association. He visited China many times, liked China culture very much and admired China’s great achievements. Recently, my colleagues in the Embassy and I were invited to visit the headquarters of the Argentine Football Association and the training base of the Argentine national football team. President tapia enthusiastically took out the World Cup and let us take photos. He hoped that the Argentine national men’s football team’s visit to China would bring joy to the fans in China, further enhance mutual understanding and affection between the two peoples, and promote cooperation in youth football training, co-hosting high-level competitions and sports and cultural exchanges. I also sincerely hope and believe that the Argentine national men’s football team’s competition in China will be a journey of friendship, joy and cooperation.
