發改委:將增設更多免稅店 暢通進口渠道

China is planning to open more duty-free stores and facilitate the import of popular daily commodities to stimulate domestic spending amid flagging deflationary pressure.

中國計劃開設更多免稅商店，促進暢銷生活日用品進口，以此來刺激通貨緊縮壓力下的國內消費。

An executive meeting of the State Council, presided over by Premier Li Keqiang, decided on Wednesday to issue a package of policies to shore up consumption, one of the driving engines tapped by the government to support economic growth.

李克強於週三主持召開了國務院常務會議，會議決定頒佈一系列政策來提振消費——消費被政府視爲是促進經濟增長的驅動引擎之一。

The meeting decided to open more duty-free stores at ports of entry across the country and to import more popular consumer goods, as the shopping list of Chinese overseas travelers has expanded from luxury brands to daily living products, according to a statement released after the meeting.

根據會後發佈的聲明，因爲如今中國海外遊客的購物範圍已從奢侈品牌擴展到了日常生活用品，因此會議決定在全國入境口增設免稅店，增加暢銷消費品進口。

More than 100 million Chinese traveled overseas last year and spent more than 1 trillion yuan ($157 billion) during their trips, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

根據商務部的數據，去年有1億多中國人到海外旅遊，共計花費1萬多億人民幣（1570億美元）。

The statement did not include details as to when and where the duty-free stores will open. However, Lu Peijun, deputy head of the General Administration of Customs, said in an earlier interview that the government is considering setting up new stores at airports.

聲明中並未提及免稅商店開設的具體時間和地點。但海關總署副署長魯培軍在早期採訪中曾說，政府計劃在機場開設新商店。

Lu said China currently has 262 duty-free stores nationwide, with some offering duty-free goods for diplomatic staff.

魯培軍說，中國目前共有262家免稅商店，其中一些爲外交工作人員提供免稅商品。

"There are not many duty-free stores at the ports of entry in are considering opening more shops of this kind,… but it has to follow the willingness of the enterprises," he said.

“中國入境口的免稅商店並不多,我們想要增設此種商店，但這也必須尊重企業的意願，”他說。

Liu Simin, deputy secretary-general of the Beijing Tourism Association, said it wouldn't be easy to get consumers to spend more in the domestic market and less overseas in a short time. "To achieve the target involves the upgrading of industrial production and the improvement of services."

北京旅遊協會副祕書長劉思敏稱，短期內，增加消費者在國內市場的消費，減少其在海外消費並不容易。“達到這一目標，需要升級工業生產，提高服務質量。”
