Trade disputes and disputes soar "Taizhou manufacturing" where to go

With the constant strengthening of international barriers to trade, trade disputes and disputes is gradually increasing, "Taizhou manufacturing" also failed to exception.

"Taizhou manufacturing" ushered in the era of trade high friction

Since 1 January 2002, a total of encounter, Taizhou city, United States, EU, India, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, 15 countries and regions, launched the "two-second insurance" and "United States" 337 investigation cases 87, in connection with the amount of $ 2.3 billion.

According to the analysis, the United States and the European Union launched the "two-second insurance" and "337" investigation of the total number of involved, become major 54.8% of anyuan countries. Mixer valve, citrus canned food, footwear, motorcycles, electric bikes, air compressor ... These "Taizhou manufacturing" unmatchable product, in the case of trade friction has become the main products involved.

At present, the enterprise has entered an "Taizhou two opposing second insurance" investigation cases up to 11, the enterprises involved in the whole 41, litigation cases amount totals 1.7 billion, accounting for 74% of the amount involved.

From city foreign economic and Trade Bureau provides data analysis, Taizhou 2002 encounters dumping investigation cases 60 onwards, the total number of involved; 69% of the enterprises involved, 234 in connection with the total number of 64.8% of enterprises; the amount involved, representing $ 10090 in connection with the total amount of 43.9%. "The anti-dumping investigation will become Taizhou current and future periods of fair trade the focus of the work. "City foreign economic and Trade Bureau Deputy Secretary Zhang says.

"Taizhou encounter more and more frequently in international trade disputes, in the province the proportion of the total number of cases are increasing, the situation is quite grim. "Zhang said that occurred last Taizhou seven trade friction cases, total number of cases accounted for 10%, and the first half of this year to 11, the increased proportion rose to 20%.

"Taizhou manufacturing" why by barriers to trade

Obviously, Taizhou trade friction cases mainly concentrated in the electromechanical industry, light industry, labour-intensive industries. These low content of industrial science and technology, competitiveness, rely primarily on price competition, and therefore vulnerable to anti-dumping and other trade barriers.

In fact, Taizhou exports most of Europe and the United States and other developed markets basically formed a complementary, but many developing countries, and not just the partner or competitor. In the international market, many developing countries fight is resource-intensive and labour-intensive products. In Argentina, for example, because of its small market size, product and more similarity with Taizhou, coupled with the effects of the appreciation of the Renminbi, etc., "Taizhou manufacturing" than often cheap, so competition is more intense, the trade dispute is frequent.

"From the country, the price competition, competitiveness is relatively weak in these enterprises or products are subjected to trade friction. "Zhang said," of course, this is the international trade protectionism on the rise. ”

"China has become the world's largest exporters, the world's second largest importer, the future of international trade barriers and trade friction inevitable. "China's open economy and Economics Institute expert rich summer friends pointed out sharply, Taizhou product technical levels generally lack core competitiveness, many enterprises are accustomed to the low price of competition policy and, more importantly, many SMEs lack the internationalization of competition, especially when faced with developing countries with different legal provisions with international competitive pressure, many people just sitting still.

"Taizhou manufacturing" how to breakthrough

These trade friction case whatever the outcome, it processes to business development in varying degrees of damage.

To help enterprises to avoid barriers to trade, the Government's positive action. In March 2007, the city's foreign trade and international business and Economics Research Center of China's technical barriers to trade, a pioneer in Taizhou export trade barrier early warning and rapid response mechanism projects, so that the whole city alert product coverage reaches more than 80%. At the same time, Taizhou successively built seven provincial foreign trade alert pilot sites, at the end of this year will achieve key industry, sensitive products of foreign trade alert demonstration sites of the city and County of complete coverage in urban areas.

"Through research and innovation, improving their own competitiveness, is avoiding barriers to trade in the fundamental way. "Zhang said that trade barriers imperceptibly to Taizhou-oriented enterprise provides a mechanism to force down, forcing the transformation and upgrading.

As wenling main air compressor industry exports, Zhejiang xinlei mechanical and electrical co., Ltd in 2008 in anti-dumping incident. Those exports decline 3218 million, an increase of 42.9%. One of the EU market has fallen by 63% year-on-year; the North American market has fallen by 42%.

Against the anti-dumping, "xinlei" heroic efforts to technical Rd, has invested 3 billion technology innovation, research and development of a new generation of scroll-type rotating and oscillating-piston type air compressor. And anti-dumping proceedings caused by conventional compressor compared to "xinlei" newly developed two compressor not only structurally completely innovative and energy-saving environmental protection, low noise and high precision, mechanical efficiency increased 5%, the volume is reduced by 20%, is the world leading level of air compressor industry.

At present, "xinlei" new products has applied to domestic patents, international market price than the old products increased by 30%. Hitoshi, Bell told this reporter, this is the foretaste of anti-dumping, and also the innovation brings to the enterprise's turn.
