South Africa take trade protection measures China clothing enterprises affected

According to the times "reported that since China commodity prices are low, wide range, enabling many of South Africa Chinese trade related industries, including import and export, customs clearance, shipping, wholesale, retail, and various links, and many other business Chinese also started from a trade. With the increasing number of Chinese in South Africa, the continuous influx of Chinese goods, South Africa on the "consumers" are no longer strangers MadeinChina, China commodity prices in the famous and bring to the Chinese market benefits, but also that they bear certain negative effects.

Chinese Liu recently wanted to Fort in about a famous shopping centre shop, selling women's fashion goods, in the shopping centre management submitted application, Ms. Liu was asked to produce a detailed business plan that describes the origin of the product in the store, the price point and origin labelling, etc. Management pointed out that this is to ensure that the overall level of operation, namely, providing consumers with high-quality, high-grade products, and protect the interests of other businesses. In other words, Ms. Liu business commodity must be able to meet the market on its own location criteria.

Another Chinese Zhang wants to open a small shopping mall, the shopping centre only clothing store several shops, but popularity. Due to the neighboring residents, every day the car to the rental car, therefore also not cheap monthly need 1 million 5 thousand Rand. Only one of the largest shopping center was originally a small two-family clothing stores and other shops are selling pastry, selling tobacco and alcohol, some operators have a haircut, Woolworth, business Pick ' nPay and other large chain retailers. He believes his own applications should have no problems, but was rejected by management. The reason is that the shopping centre, the need to maintain the diversity of business types. Management is of the opinion that, due to limited space, only accommodate as many business projects, to the maximum extent possible provide convenience for nearby residents, shopping malls, business and consumers are win-win option. Finally, he settled in the shop front is made of businesses operating sunglasses.

In fact, many large shopping centers South Africa will take similar forms protectionist, for example, has a significant number of businesses operating a type of commodity, no longer accept the presence of similar businesses. There are shopping malls simply do not accept applications for the Chinese to prevent cheap commodity price, the lower the overall damage the interests of other businesses. Although many Chinese on this discontent, but also acknowledged that the shopping centre, management positions or are there some truth.

Many Internet users in South Africa spoke about the cheap imported products (especially Chinese-made apparel, textiles), love and hate. Some people think that cheap imported clothing for low-income populations is an evangelical, "if I could spend 80 RAND buy a dress, why throw 200 RAND buying guochanhuo?" friends have said that the Chinese workers work Bermeo, and gratuitous, but South Africa workers treatment from Government and Union minimum wage protection, higher product costs. Opposition mainly from the garment industry practitioners, a friend said that his father in the fashion industry for over 40 years, now it's gone.

It can be said that South Africa fundamental social issues such as unemployment, etc. are not addressed, the Government is bound to introduce a series of related measures to deal with. In the globalization trend, protectionism, because of its short-sighted Although widely condemned, but in a State of economic downturn and be life saving. Earlier this year, the South Africa Government departments at the meeting of Ministers in Cape Town, South Africa, has urged to intensify the Executive Committee of the international trade protectionist measures to increase the tariffs in the form of targeted, protecting some precarious vulnerable industries to imported products in the rough waves. Only hope that similar measures, once implemented, the majority of Chinese businessmen to take precautions, the ups and downs, still standing are the sea an unassailable position.
