At a hotel restaurant in north China's Tianjin municipality, the buffet tables have been turned into a feast for the eyes, covered with beef from Australia, lobsters from Vietnam, mussels from New Zealand, soft-shell crabs from Myanmar and rice from Thailand.
天津——在中国北部天津市的一家酒店餐厅，自助餐桌上摆满了来自澳大利亚的牛肉、越南的龙虾、新西兰的贻贝、缅甸的软壳螃蟹和泰国的大米，让人大饱眼福。
However, foreign products such as Chilean cherries and Australian lobster have become well-known products for their quality in China.
然而，智利樱桃和澳大利亚龙虾等外国产品已因其质量在中国家喻户晓。
Among the products sold were Chinese lobster from Xinliangji, vouchers from milk tea maker Nayuki as well as a gel pen from Xiaomi Corp.
In 2018, the company transported live lobsters for the first time from the United States to China on a chartered plane.
Since then, it has transported fresh Canadian lobsters and Chilean cherries to China more than 10 times.
During air transportation, the cabin temperature has to be between 2 C and 8 C to guarantee the survival of the lobsters.
Soon, SF will launch stable freight routes, shifting from temporary charters to fixed ones specifically to transport lobsters and cherries to China.
With lobsters already accounting for 70 percent of its seafood exports to China, New Zealand is looking to make further inroads into the market by cutting down the delivery time of its shellfish to 16 hours through a partnership with e-commerce giant Alibaba.
"Live lobster is our top seller.
It is a great opportunity for us to introduce live lobsters in the market," said Damon Paling, trade commissioner of New Zealand Trade & Enterprise.
The country is sending an initial shipment consisting of several hundreds of kilos of live rock lobsters by airfreight on Saturday and the same would be delivered to consumers in Shanghai within 16 hours.
The lobsters will be sold on Yiguo, China's largest fresh food e-commerce platform invested by Alibaba, at a special promotion price of 299 yuan ($44.6) each (at a minimum weight of 450 grams).
But Paling noted that the "direct access" of live lobsters, which is likely to be extended and expanded to other categories such as mussels in future, is not about increasing the volume, as New Zealand is a rather small seafood producer, partly restricted by its strict sustainability standards.
"And we've been back a few times with Governor Paul LePage for trade missions in 2012 and 2015," he said, adding that the biggest result of the visits was getting access in China for Maine lobster and generating investment for the paper industry.
The field for international investment has expanded from namely the lobster industry to financial services, manufacturing, life sciences and other areas.
TIANJIN — At a hotel restaurant in North China's Tianjin municipality, the buffet tables are a feast for the eyes, covered with beef from Australia, lobsters from Vietnam, mussels from New Zealand, soft-shell crabs from Myanmar and rice from Thailand.
"It also appears that progress has been made in efforts to resolve the China-Australia dispute over trade in barley, wine and lobsters," said Chen.
Other products include local specialties like rum, cigar and lobsters, said Nestor Enrique Torres Olivera, consul-general of the Republic of Cuba in Shanghai.
"From Maine lobsters to Texan oil, these exports represent paychecks for thousands of Americans across the country and tax revenues for local governments," said Allen, whose trade association represents more than 200 US companies that do business with China.
In recent years, local farmers have been cultivating a wide variety of aquatic foods, including pond smelt, northern whitefish, shrimp, tilapia, abalone and lobster.
"Next, we plan to introduce Australian freshwater lobsters and expand our breeding scale to allow more people to enjoy Xinjiang's aquatic products.

Despite China still having a big appetite for imported lobsters, it should not reduce its tariff on imported US lobsters and negotiations between the two countries should follow the rules of the World Trade Organization, experts said on Monday.
They commented after US President Donald Trump said on Friday that unless China reduces its tariffs on American lobsters, it would put additional duties on some Chinese products.
US lobster exports to China have dropped as a result of high tariffs and the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump, speaking at an event with fishermen in Maine, named White House trade adviser Peter Navarro the "lobster king" in charge of further talks.
China imposed an additional 25 percent tariff in July 2018 on a number of imported US seafood items, including lobsters, in response to tariffs on Chinese goods imposed by the US as a result of trade tensions between the two countries.
China's tariff on live US lobsters is currently 32 percent.
Chinese buyers can get the same variety of lobster from Canada, which has only a 7 percent tariff.
If US lobster exporters would like to further expand their market share in China, business cooperation between the world's two largest economies should follow commercial principles," said Xue Rongjiu, deputy director of the Beijing-based China Society for WTO Studies.
Supermarket chain Metro China said it mainly imports lobsters from Canada and the US, and Canada accounts for a larger share.
From January to May, sales of lobsters at Metro China climbed 51.3 percent year-on-year, and the volume it sold jumped 67.5 percent year-on-year, according to a manager at Metro China.
Major Chinese e-commerce platform JD said it mainly imports lobsters from Canada, and their high quality was well received by Chinese consumers.
"For example, the breeding period for juvenile lobsters is February when most of farmers could not go out and take care of them this year, so we have reduced production," he said.
By April 2, 5,200 tons of dried tea, 113,500 tons of lobster and 42,000 tons of dried mushrooms were in stock, said Zhang Guihua, an official from the province's agriculture and rural affairs department, at a news conference on April 3.
Among the other products sold through livestreaming were Chinese lobsters from Xinliangji, vouchers from milk tea maker Nayuki as well as a gel pen from Xiaomi Corp. Nayuki said it sold 100,000 milk tea products and vouchers and achieved sales revenue of 9 million yuan via livestreaming platforms.
A mayor in Hubei province on Saturday promoted locally raised lobsters at a news conference in a bid to promote its lackluster sales amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Gong said the city has sold only 150,000 kilograms of baby lobsters so far, only half of the amount in the same period last year at halved price.
The epidemic has also affected the transporting of grown lobsters, which should have been sent to consumers nationwide by the same period in the past.
To address the woes, local authorities have sent out trucks and personnel to buy the lobsters from farmers and sell the products to buyers in areas including Shanghai, Chongqing, and Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.
The authorities also called upon major businesses to open up and share their cold storage space and buy the lobsters, he said.
NEW YORK -- Hugh Reynolds, a lobster dealer from the northeastern US town of Stonington, Maine, was excited to learn that the China-US phase-one economic and trade deal came into effect on Feb 14.
According to the deal, China promises to purchase more agricultural products from the United States, and lobster is highlighted in the sector.
根据协议内容，中国承诺将从美国购买更多农产品，其中龙虾是该领域中的重点产品。
Having been in the industry for more than 20 years, Reynolds' company, Greenhead Lobster, is one of the largest lobster wholesalers in Stonington, a town long-known for its rich and historic tradition of lobstering.
在业界拥有超过20年的经验，雷诺兹的公司——绿头龙虾公司，是位于斯通宁顿的一家大型龙虾批发商。斯通宁顿是一个以悠久丰富的龙虾捕捞历史传统而闻名的小镇。
"Our Stonington, Maine Lobsters are fresh caught by local fishermen, delivered daily to the Greenhead Docks, promptly prepared, packed and shipped," the company said on its website.
该公司在其网站上表示：“我们的缅因州斯通宁龙虾由当地渔民新鲜捕捞，每日送达绿头码头，并及时进行加工、包装和运输。”
More than 200 boats used to go out lobstering for Greenhead Lobster every day, with an annual harvest of 10 million pounds of live lobsters, of which more than 30 percent had been shipped to China.
每天有超过200艘船为绿头龙虾公司出海捕捞龙虾，年捕捞鲜活龙虾总量达到1000万磅，其中超过30%的龙虾被运往中国。
Reynolds remembered that in July 2018, China imposed 25 percent additional tariff on imported US lobsters in response to the US threat of an additional 25-percent tariff on Chinese imports worth about $50 billion.
Reynolds回忆起，在2018年7月，中国对进口美国龙虾加征了25%的额外关税，这是作为对美国威胁对中国价值约500亿美元的进口商品加征25%额外关税的回应。
Many wholesalers like Greenhead Lobster faced the same difficult situation.
许多批发商，如Greenhead Lobster，都面临着同样的困境。
China imported about 128 million dollars worth of live lobsters from the United States in 2017, according to WISERTtrade, a database that tracks international trade.
根据追踪国际贸易的数据库WISERTrade的数据，2017年中国从美国进口了约1.28亿美元的活龙虾。
Annie Tselikis, executive director of the Maine Lobster Dealers' Association, said China accounted for 15 percent to 20 percent of the export value of US lobsters at the time.
Data showed US lobster exports to China in the first half of 2019 dropped by 80 percent compared to the same period in 2018.
There were roughly 4,500 licensed lobster catchers in the state of Maine and about 10,000 to 12,000 people are directly employed in the industry in June 2018.
But then some lobster dealers in Maine had to lay off workers to make ends meet.
Canadian fishermen catch the same species of lobster as American lobstermen do, who are based mostly in Maine.
Soon after China and the United States signed the phase-one deal that includes a lobster provision, US Senator Susan Collins called it a significant victory for Maine lobster in a press release.
Collins had been lobbying for the Maine lobster industry ever since the additional tariffs were imposed.
"While the Maine lobster industry is looking forward to re-entering the Chinese market, industry insiders know it is very difficult to regain its lost market share quickly.
Reynolds said for the past one year and a half, US lobster industry not only lost export volume to China, but also import volume from Canada -- something he had never seen in his whole career.
Ronnie Trundy, manager of Stonington Lobster Co-op, said, "I think it's going to take a year for the American companies.
I remember I had one with spicy lobster flavor, similar to the noodles cooked at my home in Changsha, Hunan province.
Resembling small lobsters, the delicacy has been quite popular on Chinese dining tables and for late-night snacks over the years.
With a simple click on my phone, I can order lobsters from Boston, cherries from Chile and organic tomatoes before heading home and find them on my doorstep when I arrive," she said.
Alaskan crab, French lobster, Argentine beef, Chilean cherries, fresh milk from Australia … these are just some of the items that are now popular choices for special family dinners during the festival season.
- New Zealand's largest lobster exporter said on Sunday it is ready to face Chinese consumers directly by delivering lobsters to people's homes, part of the company's latest strategy to explore China's online market.
As New Zealand's must-eat seafood, Kiwi lobster is considered the sweetest tasting and most succulent variety of lobster available and is highly sought at the Asian market, where it is the "lobster of choice" particularly at the Chinese dinner table.
As New Zealand's largest exporter of live rock lobster, Fiordland Lobster Company Group General Manager Andrew Harvey said on Sunday that the company will explore China's digital channels in 2019.
In 2018, the company's live lobsters were already in new retail stores of Hema, Alibaba's new offline retail store in China, Harvey said, adding that its lobsters will be sold directly through the company's own online connections with Chinese consumers in 2019.
The Fiordland Lobster Company contracts fishermen suppliers in Fiordland and other parts of New Zealand to provide catches of New Zealand red lobster for export to China and other key markets under the KiwiLobster brand, he said.
"Live southern rock lobsters have been a very traditional business: wild lobsters are caught along remote coastlines, flown to the live seafood markets of China, and presented at celebrations in high end seafood restaurants," he added.
It currently has annual lobster catches about 1,000 tons, mainly catering the Chinese market.
China is New Zealand's largest export market for lobsters, Harvey said, adding that wealthy lobster consumers are mainly from southern Chinese cities such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou where seafood consumption is traditionally large.
Helicopters and insulated trucks are used to fly live lobster from the depots to one of the company's five export packing factories in New Zealand in order to keep lobsters fresh, Harvey said, adding that kiwi lobsters cannot be bred artificially and must be caught in remote sea areas.
Since July 6, China started to impose an additional 25 percent tariff on a number of US seafood items, including salmon and lobster, in response to tariffs on Chinese goods imposed by the US.
Besides, Maine lobsters, Alaska crabs and California squid have seen their prices rise in the China market, and this has benefitted seafood exporters of other countries.
Now, China's tariff on US lobsters is 32 percent.
Chinese buyers can get the same variety of lobster from Canada, which attracts only 7 percent tariff.
China also imports lobsters from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mozambique, Mexico and Jamaica.
Pingree said she has heard mostly from Maine's lobster industry.
China's tariff on lobsters was launched in response to US tariffs on Chinese goods.
Jeff Bennett, an analyst at the Maine International Trade Center, said Maine sold at least $57 million worth of lobster to China last year.
The Maine Lobster Dealers' Association says that lobster is the state's second-largest export to China.
Six months later on April 1, 2020, the once-broke entrepreneur made his e-commerce livestreaming debut on Douyin, selling a variety of goods from spicy lobsters, chocolates and toothbrushes to Xiaomi smartphones.
The major flaw I've noticed so far is that competition for fresh vegetables and some imported seafood items (such as Boston lobsters and king prawns from South America) is more than fierce and normally requires fast fingers!
