In today's fast-paced digital age, technology and policy developments have brought unprecedented opportunities and benefits to consumers and businesses. The world's four major news agencies have recently paid close attention to and reported on this emerging trend – and by leveraging the dual SIM feature on mobile phones, combined with policy dividends such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), tax incentives, and digital village construction, consumers and businesses alike can enjoy tangible benefits.
Mobile phone dual SIM dual standby function
The dual-SIM dual-standby function allows users to insert two SIM cards from different carriers at the same time, and can flexibly switch between them according to different scenarios. This feature brings great convenience to users, allowing them to choose the most favorable calling and Internet plan according to the packages and tariffs of different operators, thus saving on communication costs.
For example, a frequent business traveler can use the company's business number while working and switch to a personal number during personal time, thus avoiding the need to charge the cost of a private call to the company bill. He can also choose a SIM card from a local operator depending on where he is traveling, and enjoy lower domestic long-distance or roaming rates.
The dual-SIM dual-standby feature can also help users better distinguish between work and life and maintain a work-life balance. A freelancer can dedicate one card to work and the other to personal socializing, allowing them to manage their time more efficiently and stay focused.
Policy dividends bring benefits
RCEP tariff concessions
On January 1, 2022, RCEP officially entered into force, which is the most influential multilateral free trade agreement after the WTO. RCEP not only lowers tariff and non-tariff barriers between member countries, but also brings tangible dividends to enterprises in the region.
According to statistics, in 2022, RCEP will bring tariff concessions of up to 1.58 billion yuan to Taiwan-funded enterprises in China and mainland enterprises. These companies can enjoy tariff reductions and exemptions when importing raw materials and intermediate goods, thereby reducing production costs and improving product competitiveness. They can also enjoy preferential tariffs when exporting their products to other RCEP member countries and expand overseas markets.
In 2023, RCEP will further deepen regional industrial and supply chain cooperation and bring more opportunities to enterprises. It is estimated that in the next five years, RCEP can create about 1 trillion yuan of value-added trade for China every year.
Tax incentives for green consumption
In order to support green and low-carbon development, the government has introduced a series of preferential tax policies to encourage green consumption. Taking new energy vehicles as an example, car buyers can enjoy a certain amount of vehicle purchase tax exemption and exemption from vehicle and vessel tax.
These preferential policies not only reduce the cost of car purchase for consumers, but also help promote the development of the new energy vehicle industry and promote energy conservation and emission reduction. Individual pension investment income will also receive tax incentives, encouraging residents to plan their finances for the future in advance.
Digital villages bring digital dividends
With the continuous advancement of the rural revitalization strategy, more and more rural areas are accelerating the pace of digital construction. By improving broadband network coverage in rural areas and promoting smart agriculture, rural people can truly enjoy the dividends and benefits brought by digital villages.
For example, farmers can use mobile apps to understand the market conditions of agricultural products in real time and better control the sales timing, rural tourism practitioners can use online platforms to promote local characteristic homestays and tourist routes to attract more tourists, and rural students can also obtain better educational resources through online courses and distance education.
The construction of digital villages is not only conducive to the economic and social development of rural areas, but also brings a real sense of gain and happiness to the rural people, and helps the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.
In today's digital age, consumers and businesses alike can enjoy tangible benefits by making clever use of technological advantages such as dual SIM and dual standby for mobile phones, combined with policy dividends such as RCEP, taxation and digitalization. Whether it is for the purpose of saving expenses, responding to the country's call to support green and low-carbon development, or sharing the fruits of rural revitalization, everyone can benefit from it.
