一 | While extensive, international negotiations have now led to the release of four hostages captured by Hamas, scores of foreign nationals in Gaza, including as many as 600 Americans, are still being blocked by the U.S.-designated terrorist group from crossing into Egypt, according to Biden administration officials."To date, at least, Hamas has blocked them from leaving, showing once again its total disregard for civilians of any kind who are stuck in Gaza," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a televised interview Sunday.On Monday, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller clarified that the U.S. now assessed that after weeks of negotiations with Egypt and Israel aimed at securing safe passage for the Americans, only Hamas stood in the way."We do believe that Egypt is ready to process American citizens if they can make it to Egyptian authorities. Hamas just has to stop blocking their exit," Miller said.Miller also said that while U.S. officials were not in direct communication with Hamas, they have been urging Hamas to step aside in messages sent through "a number of partners."The Biden administration has been working since soon after the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel to reopen the Rafah gate -- the sole border crossing between Gaza and Egypt -- in order to move aid into the area and allow foreign nationals to leave.While a limited number of trucks carrying food, water and medicine were able to enter Gaza for the first time on Saturday, so far none of the foreign nationals has been allowed to leave.Miller explained that "a number of civilians, some American citizens" flocked to the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing when it was first opened, but none were able to leave because Hamas "was there blocking anyone from coming through the gate from the Gaza side out to the Egyptian side."According to U.S. officials, the Egyptian government has also been hesitant to allow civilians to exit Gaza through the Rafah gate because of the country's intense concern over security threats posed by terrorist activities on the Sinai Peninsula.Egyptian officials are also likely eager to avoid the optics of thousands of people pouring across the border from Gaza -- wary the country might appear complicit in what its president and other Middle Eastern leaders have said would be an "ethnic cleansing" of Gaza.While securing Egypt's cooperation in eventually facilitating the departure of American citizens would be a diplomatic achievement for the administration, it does not yet appear that Cairo has signaled it will extend the same opportunity to the parents, children, siblings, and partners of U.S. nationals in Gaza.Miller said it was still the administration's goal that the immediate family members of American citizens crossing through the Rafah gate would be allowed to depart as well, but that it was "an ongoing conversation" with Egypt.With a potential Israeli ground incursion looming, the already dire circumstances facing Americans and their loved ones inside Gaza may soon get even worse.Abood Okal, a 36-year-old American, has been stranded in Gaza with his wife and 1-year-old son since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, told his lawyer, Sammy Nabulsi, that the family has been huddled in a home with 40 other people, sleeping on the floor, sharing meager amounts of food, and that for an entire day, they had been forced to drink salt water to survive.Nabulsi said in an interview with ABC News Live on Monday that Okal's family had been instructed by the State Department to go to the Rafah crossing four different times, but on each occasion no one had been allowed to pass through the gate."I think the holdup is the United States isn't focused on this effort at all," said Nabulsi. "It's unacceptable to me. It should be unacceptable to every single American citizen is this entire country."Although the State Department asserts that Hamas is preventing them from fleeing to safety, Miller said Americans stranded in Gaza are "in a different situation" from the around 220 individuals the Israeli Defense Forces believes are still being held hostage by the group."I am not at all trying to minimize the situation," Miller said, acknowledging Americans like Okal and his family are facing "deplorable" circumstances and vowing that U.S. officials are "working intensively' to get them out.The administration has not provided any number or estimate of how many of the 500 to 600 Americans thought to be trapped in Gaza have reached out to the State Department for help."We have a list of Americans who are registered with us, and when we have any information about the possibility of transiting outside of Gaza, we're providing it to all of them," Miller said.。
二 | 外贸底气足，贸易型总部加快集聚公司在中国，袜子成品则在东南亚采购，直接销售给欧美商家。这家名为“中昊针织”的企业，从2021年下半年开始探索“两头在外”的离岸贸易，当下累计货值已达200多万美元。走进上海太太乐食品有限公司，一张世界地图引人注目。从上海发出的几十条射线“散”至全球。
三 | 公司总裁曹辉介绍，企业的销售网络不仅遍布全国，现在还延伸至欧美、中东等地。今年1至5月，虽受疫情影响，公司仍完成销售目标，实现逆势增长。“以上企业是个例吗？”记者询问。在上海虹桥国际中央商务区管委会，商务发展处处长杨旭波拿出一份名单说：“根据企业年度营业收入等条件，商务区近期认定了30家贸易型总部。”“从类别来说，国内批发零售类企业7家，国际货物贸易企业7家，国际服务与物流企业12家，平台交易企业4家。以德邦物流为代表的多家国内国际物流企业，已发挥出物流集聚效应。”杨旭波分析，“从贸易方式来看，商务区已经覆盖了新型跨境电商、离岸转手买卖、保税展示、保转跨等，贸易方式日渐多元。”另外，除30家受认定的贸易型总部外，商务区还集聚了锅圈、华峰、希杰等一批贸易型总部储备企业，已有提前布局未来之势。
四 | “我们的外贸底子仍然很厚，而且发展后劲很大——长三角一体化发展、进博会带来许多新机遇。当前，以30家贸易型总部为代表的一批高能级贸易平台和主体在加快集聚。”虹桥国际中央商务区管委会办公室四级调研员毛翔宇说。抗风险能力强，区位和交通优势明显长宁区临虹路365号——上海泰禾国际贸易有限公司坐落于此。“我们公司主要做植保产品和精化新材料等产品的研发、营销。立足上海，因为这里区位好、平台大。”公司总经理卜明星说。“上海虹桥国际中央商务区的区位、交通优势明显，公司距离虹桥国际机场、上海虹桥站仅3公里。”卜明星介绍，这里平台也多，公司借助在商务区举办的中国国际农用化学品及植保展览会等贸易展示平台，与多家跨国公司建立了合作关系，产品出口到了国外。
五 | 今年1至8月，上海泰禾销售收入实现同比大幅增长。凭借区位和交通优势，商务区全力搭建多个平台，着力做强“长板”。在虹桥品汇A栋大楼，从地下一层进入，便直接来到虹桥进口商品展示交易中心直播基地。线上发力，外贸生意照做。再上一层，是虹桥进口商品展示交易中心，里面各类国外商品琳琅满目。上海虹桥国际进口商品展销有限公司总经理蔡军介绍，这里是展馆，也是商场，一到周末都是顾客。
六 | “我们充分利用进博会的平台优势，在这里建设了以虹桥品汇、绿地贸易港为代表的进博会常年展销平台，还建了包括虹桥国际咖啡港在内的10个百亿元级进口商品集散平台。”蔡军说。细数商务区的平台，还不止于此。有以海外贸易中心、虹桥国际中央法务区为代表的贸易服务平台，有以上海虹桥临空经济园区、西虹桥商务区为代表的市服务贸易促进示范基地，有以虹桥进口商品展示交易中心等为代表的市跨境电子商务示范区……此外，离岸贸易、跨境电商新模式、保税展示等贸易新业态也正加速发展，进博会通关便利、资金结算、投资便利、人员出入境等创新政策上升为常态化制度安排。支持力度大，多措并举服务企业发展6月30日，《关于支持虹桥国际中央商务区贸易型总部企业发展的若干措施》（以下简称《措施》）出台，25条支持措施干货满满。支持贸易型总部企业招才引智。《措施》明确住房保障、子女入学等便利化措施；加大对贸易型总部企业金融支持；管委会参照内资总部政策给予贸易型总部营运专项补贴和人才专项补贴……当前《措施》落地情况如何？进出口银行上海分行有关负责人表示，首期提供300亿元专项信贷额度。中信保上海分公司有关负责人表示，已成立服务领导小组，以虹桥营业部为主体落实相关服务工作。企业有需求，政府有回应。前期，有企业反映对当前复杂的国际贸易规则不太了解，对RCEP（区域全面经济伙伴关系协定）政策红利不太清楚。商务区快速回应，于7月21日设立RCEP企业服务咨询站（虹桥站）。在位于申昆路2377号4号楼一楼的咨询站内，记者看到，这里有专门的服务人员驻守。接线员告诉记者，咨询站通过线上线下相结合的方式，为企业提供关税优惠、原产地规则等“一站式”信息服务。说话间，不时有企业打来电话询问，接线员立刻投入工作中。
七 | 置身于虹桥国际中央商务区，人来人往，步履匆忙。一同随行的杨旭波，打开手机，向记者展示统计部门的数据：7月，商务区单月进口额环比增长52.32%。当前，上海外贸正摆脱各类不利因素影响，稳步走高。（记者 方敏）返回搜狐，查看更多责任编辑：
