Three shot-putters from Xiamen in East China's Fujian province were invited to attend the 2019 Mokpo Throwing Competition in Mokpo, a sister city of Xiamen in the Republic of Korea (ROK), on Aug 23-26.
After a tough competition, two Xiamen players, Xu Jiayi and Guo Yitong, secured the top two places for the junior school female student group of shot-putting. Another player, Lin Zihao, came third in the competition for junior school male students.
The Mokpo Shot-putting Competition is one of the sports exchange activities between Xiamen and Mokpo. This is the ninth time that athletes from Xiamen have been invited for the event in Mokpo and Xiamen has also invited the ROK city to attend its international marathon for 11 years in a row.
Since Xiamen and Mokpo established sister city relations in 2007, the two cities have maintained frequent sports exchanges, which have provided a platform for those engaged in sports to exchange ideas and share experiences.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
