Extended data:

First, the origin of duty-free shops:

In the early days of reform and opening up, the number of diplomats, foreign aid workers, contract workers and ocean-going crew members who went abroad on business gradually increased. During their work abroad, they scrimped and saved foreign exchange, and then bought foreign exchange goods from their host countries to Hong Kong, Japan or other developed countries, especially household appliances that were very tight in China at that time.

After the dispatched unit purchases the goods, it will be shipped back to the host countries such as Africa and America, and then shipped back to China after the expiration of the term of office of the personnel going abroad. This helpless practice of going abroad not only wastes manpower and material resources, but also ensures the quality of the purchased goods. Coupled with the fear of loss and damage in transit, many people carry their shoulders on their way back to China, which inadvertently affects the national image. More importantly, foreign exchange, which was very tight at home at that time, flowed abroad.

1983 On February 3rd, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the General Administration of Customs jointly sent a message to the State Council, demanding the unified supply of foreign exchange goods for overseas personnel, which prompted it to establish the idea of "China Overseas Personnel Service Company". 1On June 23rd, 983, with the approval of the State Council, it was agreed to establish China Overseas Personnel Service Company (later renamed as the head office). Since then, the only shopping mall in Beijing dedicated to providing duty-free goods for returnees has been established.
