When is the global cleaning and upgrading of "grey" Chinese businessmen?
At the turn of the year, a sweeping Europe and many countries in combating illegal trade and smuggling force "dust" action launched, who has been wandering in the gray edge of the overseas Chinese once again pushed in the teeth of the storm.
Since October 2017, customs, taxation and other departments in Spain, Romania, Poland, Columbia and Russia have launched large-scale special enforcement actions, and a large number of Chinese businesses have been heavily investigated. In Africa, the Middle East and other regions, the relevant countries' efforts to crack down on illegal residence, illegal operation, tax evasion and tax evasion are increasing year by year.

Over the years, overseas Chinese businessmen have made great contributions to the survival of Chinese and foreign trade and prosperity of the local market, but at the same time, influenced by many factors, the phenomenon of "gray" has become more and more common, and even become an alternative term for overseas Chinese businessmen.
One is the identity of "grey". States often require foreigners shall not engage in "visa identity" activities, many countries also prohibited foreigners engaged in retail industry, a number of Chinese businessmen trying to through the "nominal" and "close hire clerk" routine, to conceal the true identity of visa, secret operations business activities.
The two is "gray" goods. In countries such as Russia, normal customs clearance (commonly known as the white pass) complicated procedures, high rate and long time, many Chinese businessmen in order to save costs, and to hit it off grey income customs and other departments, various customs clearance agents commissioned by the customs, the goods at low price, package name changing mode of transport to the local. Over the years, this "grey customs clearance" has been highly industrialized, and its essence is smuggling.
Three is the "grey" operation. In the implementation of a unified tariff of the EU countries, the Chinese value added tax invoices, tax evasion phenomenon is very common. According to the relevant aspects, the "ninety-nine percent" Poland Chinese merchants have the problem of buying false value-added tax invoices. The "vast majority" of Columbia's Chinese merchants use fake accounting software from Spain to operate illegally in the sales process.

Frankly speaking, the formation of "grey" has its historical causes and external environment, not all the Chinese businessmen. In many countries, the legal system is not sound, the customs tax system is complicated, and the supervision is poor, the officials greedy, only the gray zone is born. "Grey" Chinese are the most representative of the complaint is, "we want to normalization and legalization, but it is because of" white "to go, forcing us to take the 'grey'".
In the past more than 10 years, these "gray" operations have also been phased in, but it has indeed accumulated considerable wealth for some Chinese businessmen. Now many overseas overseas Chinese elite is to achieve success and win recognition, from the early years of the "gray" business process of accumulation of the first pot of gold, then promptly withdraw transformation, to seek development, then from gray to white.
But with the recent rise of "anti globalization" trend and economic populism, countries significantly increased trade protection and market supervision rectification efforts, improved legal system, tax law enforcement more stringent, "gray" space more and more small, more and more problems, once the "grey" opportunities are long gone. In essence, regardless of how to pack, no matter how reasonable, "gray" is illegal, is beyond the bottom line. The Chinese businessmen from "gray" must also have to bear the corresponding risks and costs.
In fact, they are poor, too. In different countries a huge gray interests of the chain, and at the top of the high-end, powerful figure forever but the host country law enforcement and management departments, and those mastering certain social resources, mutually linked and most Chinese backstage boss, is always at the bottom of the oppressed. From the visa application to the clearance of goods, to apply for licenses from day-to-day operations, they each link needs to pay additional costs, careful management, pay "protection money", not only suffered exploitation, barely dimension, and always feel alarmed, no dignity. One not careful, may cause the ruin of the confiscated at any time, or even be held criminally responsible.
They are also very sad. Although the hard sweat, they are always with the local social misfits, because of its low profit and local employees, by the local official, the media and civil consistent rejection and disgust, there will be a crackdown on violent wind sways grass and even shock. According to the Chinese Elche shoes in Spain in 2004 that a fire may repeat whenever and wherver possible. In the overseas compatriots especially those who have "air plant" overseas Chinese and Chinese enterprises have the strength to act the way they view, gray contributed to the country's corruption, the deterioration of the business environment, but also damage the image of Chinese, so often suffered from contempt, even dismissed as "an evil member of the herd".

Sometimes, they even very annoying. They are in the habit of "everything can spend money to settle" smart, to our country government and foreign institutions to comply with local laws "repeatedly reminded the advice always ignored, luck. And once again, found that "money" can "clash", some people do not self-examination, less reflection, more reluctant to through the local judicial means to safeguard their rights, only to know Chinese embassy innocence and push, such as play Chinese bullying "and" discrimination "and the title to sympathy. Some Chinese businessmen in Columbia were raided, even to the extreme way of running Chinese rushed embassy, the embassy staff beaten, forced to recover their government for China confiscated goods. They mistakenly believe that "the Chinese government will help the Chinese government as long as it is done."
Even in such a deformed environment, the number of "grey" Chinese businessmen is still numerous and unabated, and there are thousands of families in the country behind them. If things go on like this, once they are in the long term "oppressed" major unexpected conditions, or by foreign resolutely cleared, most likely outbreak of major mass incidents in overseas, seriously affect the national security interests and personnel, affecting Sino foreign relations and national feelings, and even affect the domestic stability.
In China entered a new era, with the world deep integration today, "The Belt and Road" initiative to promote a comprehensive, foreign trade continued to expand, and all kinds of trade facilitation measures continue to be introduced to the overseas Chinese businessmen brought new and greater opportunities for development. General Secretary Xi in a congratulatory letter to the twelfth World Chinese Entrepreneurs Conference pointed out: "I hope the majority of Chinese businessmen to seize the opportunity, give full play to the advantages, actively care for and participate in Chinese reform and modernization, to achieve greater development of their career in mutual cooperation". Facing the dilemma of "narrower grey space", how to seize opportunities and transform and upgrade as soon as possible is the most urgent task for Chinese businessmen who are still in the gray.
In fact, there is still a lot of way to go. They can hold together for warmth, set up the chamber of Commerce, actively strive for their own interests, in strict accordance with the local laws, standardize business practices, really bigger and stronger, to achieve long-term, sustainable development. In this regard, the national business authorities and overseas agencies should increase support and actively promote the relevant countries to provide a more relaxed, convenient and fair business environment for Chinese businesses.
They can also be based on the local, change the business philosophy, and seek to diversify the development. There are many successful cases in this area. Some Chinese businessmen follow the market demand, or through product upgrading, self created brand, or transfer industry, the successful transformation. Some Chinese use of their own resources and market advantages, cooperation with domestic well-known manufacturers, high-end products into the country to help China terminal market faster and convenient way. There are Chinese businessmen seize the opportunities brought by the electricity supplier, they enter into the logistics and express industry.
If not, in the course of comprehensive and thorough "dust" has not been played before the early shoeing, pack up, retreats, another new road, it would be wise. At present, the overall deepening of the supply side reform in China and the acceleration of economic transformation have also provided more opportunities for development opportunities for overseas Chinese businessmen.
Say goodbye to "grey", either leave with dignity or quit gracefully. All the Chinese businessmen who are still wandering on the gray edge should make a rational choice in the new era. only when every overseas Chinese citizen can take root in the local area and play the right positive energy can he support a strong, civilized and friendly new era "overseas China".
