Xiamen Airlines has sent 109 chartered flights carrying medical supplies to countries hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to local media reports.
Statistics showed that as of April 22, Xiamen Airlines had coordinated charter flights to send more than 1,200 metric tons of emergency supplies to countries including Malaysia and the Philippines.
Xiamen Airlines has resumed two international flights to the eastern United States and Paris, France. The two flights were arranged to transport epidemic prevention and control supplies to countries hit hard by the COVID-19 epidemic.
Due to the global COVID-19 outbreak, European countries are facing severe shortages of medical supplies such as face masks, which has led to a sharp increase in the export of anti-epidemic materials. Xiamen Airlines adjusted its operation strategies and opened scheduled charter cargo flights to support global anti-epidemic efforts.
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.
