Analysis Of The Causes Of Frequent Accidents In Wenzhou Shoes Trade

In the 10 years after joining the WTO, Wenzhou, Zhejiang province is a country suffering from international.

Come forward and dare to deal with it

In November 13, 2001, the Turkey government's foreign trade department issued a notice to start the "protection of glasses from China".

Most of the export enterprises for earth glasses are in Wenzhou.

In December 28th of that year, Wenzhou Sunway optical company and other eyewear enterprises submitted a defense letter to the Turkish side, which became China's "WTO entry first debate" and opened up a positive response for Chinese enterprises to cope with foreign counter measures.

In July 9, 2005, the European Union launched anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes, of which 130 enterprises were involved in Wenzhou and the amount involved was about 45000000 US dollars.

This is the largest trade barrier case involving Wenzhou since China's accession to the WTO. "Shoe capital Wenzhou" is facing a severe test of anti-dumping.

Since then, the European Union has been followed by an anti-dumping investigation, and it has a strong bite to eat Wenzhou leather shoes.

At this juncture, 21 enterprises in Wenzhou have risen to suit. They are armed with the principle of free trade and fair trade advocated by WTO, and have made a reasonable defence from the aspects of China's footwear industry, such as highly competitive industries, mostly private enterprises and cooperative nature.

However, in October 5, 2006, the EU dropped the anti-dumping stick.

Chinese enterprises are not discouraged.

The five Chinese shoe enterprises represented by AOKANG Footwear Group continue to appeal to the EU junior court.

After the expiration of the anti-dumping duty for two years, the European Union launched the final review again, extending the anti-dumping measures for another 15 months.

In April 2010, the EU's junior court dismissed five Chinese shoe companies' claims.

However, AOKANG continued to appeal to the European Union High Court when other shoe companies announced their abandonment of appeal.

Under the relentless resistance, Wenzhou shoe enterprises were "bright and beautiful". In March 31, 2011, the EU anti-dumping on Chinese leather shoes finally ended.

From April 2004 to July, due to its patent infringement, the American companies such as Lai Fu ton sued Tongli Technology Group Company in 3 local courts of the United States respectively.

In the face of pressure, Tongling group came forward to compete with American enterprises for seven years, and finally won the first case of overseas intellectual property rights protection in China.

After China's accession to the WTO, enterprises began to encounter a large number of trade barriers, and Wenzhou, which had a high dependence on foreign trade, was pushed to the cusp of the storm.

According to the data, from 2001 to November 2011, Wenzhou experienced a total of more than 80 international trade barriers, including anti-dumping, countervailing, American 337 investigation and CR standard, involving more than 1000 enterprises.

In the face of difficulties, Wenzhou did not choose to retreat, but to cope with it and strive for a fair international trade environment.
