How Zimbabwe exports to China

 The GACC and the Zimbabwean Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, Climate and Rural Development have issued a notice requiring all citrus orchards and packing houses exporting to China be registered with the GACC. Fifteen different pests, such as fruit flies, mites, scale insects and fungal infections, are listed in the protocols.

Chilling is mandatory for all Zimbabwean citrus shipped to China. For at least 18 consecutive days, lemons should be stored in a cool place with a pulp temperature of 3 degrees Celsius. For at least 24 days, the temperature of the pulp of other types of citrus fruits must be maintained at 0.6 degrees Celsius or less. Pre-chilling is mandated by procedures and contingency plans are in place in the event that cold treatment time is interrupted.

Even though Zimbabwe provided the GACC with pest risk assessment data for fresh citrus as early as 2015, Zimbabwe's citrus export procedures to China were not signed by the two governments until January of this year.

In summer, when China's domestic citrus production is low, the country imports a lot of fruit from the southern hemisphere, especially Australia and South Africa. Since Zimbabwe's growing season overlaps China's off-season, local growers, shippers and government officials are optimistic about the prospects for citrus exports to China.

Citrus from Zimbabwe is the top fresh fruit import now sanctioned by China.

Chinese consumers are starting to consume fruit and the imported fruit market is starting to be a good business for distributors and importers in China.

Fruit is currently one of the hottest foods in China. Lifestyles are changing and the Chinese are more and more concerned about their health. As the products have increased with China's economic growth, Chinese people are now looking for quality products.

And in China, excellence is often synonymous with import.

Demand for imported fruit in China is growing, with 5.5 million tonnes imported in 2018, a 35% increase from the previous year. By the way, China actually imports more fruit than it sells, making it a unique and lucrative opportunity. Not only that, but the fact that fruit prices increased in 2017 and 2018 did not deter purchases from Chinese customers. What a remarkable circumstance, demonstrating the Chinese penchant for fruit. Some of the most popular foreign fruits with Chinese consumers are bananas, cherries and raisins.

Chinese tourists 2.0 

Regional tourism is grappling with the absence of the prolific travellers and big spenders – the Chinese tourists. Cambodia, which has welcomed over two million Chinese tourists before Covid-19, is reeling from the economic loss despite being the first to fully open last November

Travel was a new concept for most Chinese until the 1980s, before which even traveling within the country often required approval from one's work unit, which had a say in most aspects of people's lives in the pre-reformation era. They were mainly civil servants or managers of public companies who could travel abroad. But the era of private travel began after Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia became the top three destinations Chinese citizens were allowed to visit in the 1990s under tourism agreements issued, and passports became easier to obtain, at least for the Han majority.

In 2012, Chinese travelers spent $100 billion on international travel, making them the top tourism spenders in the world explained a travel agency in the Chinese Business Club. 

 In 2019, Chinese travelers made 155 million outbound trips, with Japan and Thailand being the top destinations, and spent about $255 billion, or 20 percent of all international tourism spending, according to the Organization. tourism world. But the pandemic has halted the country's outbound travel, with only about 26 million outbound trips made by Chinese citizens in 2021, according to industry association China Tourism Academy.

Freedom to travel has also not been uniform across China. Ethnic minorities in Xinjiang and Tibet have long faced difficulties obtaining passports, according to Human Rights Watch, which finds that most ordinary Tibetans have mostly been without passports since 2012.

Lockdown 

The foreign travel restriction comes as Beijing appears to be increasingly answering to itself. In addition to its closed borders being closed, China has waived its hosting rights for the 2023 Asian Cup final, citing its covid situation; some Chinese universities have dropped out of international rankings; and the country seems to be experiencing a growing rejection of education in English.

Yet hundreds of thousands of Chinese students continue to study in the United States and the United Kingdom.

“Given what appears to be a push by the party-state in China to cut off Chinese scholars, students, travelers, business people and others from international contact, it is important that the United States and other nations the Democrats don't do the same, but prefer to accentuate the reach and keep the doors open for the exchange of ideas and people-to-people contact," Millward said. "It will benefit people in the United States, in China, everywhere. "

The Chinese Business Club: Top meeting for Firms

 The Chinese Business Club, founded by a former Essec student, has set itself the task of attracting Chinese investors to France.

The 90 big Chinese bosses and billionaires who will land on the morning of April 28 at Roissy have a voracious appetite for new tricolor acquisitions. They are invited by a very posh club, hyperactive, and French despite its name: the “Chinese Business Club”. Security obliges, the name of these CEOs with the big checkbook is not disclosed. We only know that they want to shop in luxury, real estate, health and aeronautics. Last year, Chinese investment abroad reached an all-time high of $62 billion. The euro zone is their favorite land, in particular France where they shelled out $3.6 billion in 2016, with the acquisition of the owner of trendy brands Sandro, Maje and Pierlot. Among others.

It is on this powerful and rising wave of acquisitions (let us mention the Chinese stakes in Peugeot, Club Med, Accor, Pierre et Vacances...) that a young and enterprising Essec, Harold Parisot, skilfully knew how to surf. With experience in luxury real estate which launched his network of wealthy Chinese, he understood the importance for them of building an address book, the famous “Guanzi”.

Hence the creation in 2012 of the Chinese Business Club. Everything happened really fast. Harold Parisot remembers: “In September 2012, at Polo de Bagatelle, I brought together 50 French people, one or two secretaries of state and five Chinese.” From now on, eight times a year, the club organizes a big lunch for 200 guests: among them, 100 Chinese, and 100 French people handpicked among ministers, ambassadors, big or small bosses and journalists. Needless to say, business cards are exchanged in spades!

The Chinese Business Club brings together politicians, bosses, diplomats and journalists

It is during these gastronomic lunches that bonds are forged: Marcel and Laurent Dassault do not miss any, taking advantage of the opportunity to sell a few Falcons to their frequent flyer contacts. Robert Bourgi also drags his gaiters there. And this is where, for example, the president of Huawei was convinced to sponsor PSG (he ended it recently). Chinese billionaires fond of big hotels are happy to be received with great fanfare in all the Parisian palaces (on February 20, it was at the Shangri-la). The politicians most loyal to the meeting (Lang, Raffarin, Guéant, Alliot-Marie, etc.) take the temperature. Diplomats harvest their information.

Top Firm meeting

As for the bosses of L'Oréal, Club Med, Havas, Accor, BNP, Caisse des Dépôts... they are now 77 to pay an annual fee of 11,400 euros and to renew their subscription 100%. Proof, underlines Parisot, that “their business benefits from it”. It has not escaped the club president that Chinese businesswomen are more and more numerous and influential. So he had the idea of ​​creating a special lunch for French and Chinese women every year on March 8: they were first 300 guests around Sophie Marceau, then this year 360 around Juliette Binoche and Harold Parisot 400 on March 8 around Marion Cotillard.

Hao Hong, one of China's most reputable analysts, quit his job at one of the country's major state-owned banks, days after his public accounts on Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo were censored. Regularly quoted by foreign media, including Le Monde, Hao Hong knew how to explain the strengths and weaknesses of the Chinese economy, but did not hesitate to point out the inconsistencies in official statistics.

Several renowned Chinese specialists have had their social media accounts deleted after pointing out the consequences of the country's health strategy.

Social media are the target

Based in Hong Kong, he was also present on Twitter, a censored social network in China, where he sometimes revealed the substance of his thoughts: "Shanghai, zero movement, zero GDP", says one of his last publications, the 31 March.

Hao Hong's Weibo account, which had 3 million followers, disappeared on Saturday, April 30, while his WeChat account was blocked on suspicion of "breaking the rules" of the platform.
