Cai Ling: "China Core" To Enhance The Pattern Of Foreign Trade

"It was thought that the span Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) was in the immediate vicinity and needed urgent countermeasures. I did not expect the black swan to fly in the global trade circle at the end of the year. Talking about the topic of TPP, Cai Ling, member of the CPPCC National Committee and Minister of the research department of the Central People's Liberation Association, told this reporter. However, in her view, although things have changed, but in the developed countries to re industrialization, and some developing countries have more competitive advantages in human cost, China's manufacturing industry can only improve its quality, create core competitiveness and promote artisan spirit, so that it can occupy a larger seat in the whole ball trade.

According to the original plan, TPP protocol It will come into force in 2018. Although there are only 12 member countries, the total population of these countries is only 500 million. But once the agreement comes into force, the circle of friends will be equivalent to 40% of the total global economy and 35% of the total world trade. Large volume, "energy" is not small. "As a high-level free trade area, the TPP agreement covers a wide range. If the agreement comes into force, it will have far-reaching impact on Global trade rules." Cai Ling said so.

For now, Trump claims that "the United States withdraws from the TPP agreement". Cai Ling said that on the one hand, after watching the action after the US, it is completely withdrawing or partly withdrawing, and setting our countermeasures accordingly. On the other hand, China should continue to conform to the general trend of economic globalization and upgrade the pattern of opening up to the outside world. Cai Ling said that some of the countries participating in the "one belt and one way" strategy are also members of the TPP. We still have to unswervingly push forward the structural reform of the supply side. Open economy In particular, we should increase the export trade of manufacturing industries along the "one belt and one road".

According to her, China manufacturing industry The focus of exports has gradually shifted from labour intensive and low tech industries such as clothing and other fiber products manufacturing, textile, food processing and manufacturing to electronic and communications equipment manufacturing, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, instrumentation and office machinery, capital intensive and high-tech industries.

"But it is worth mentioning that China's labour intensive and low tech industries still account for a higher proportion of exports. Under the background of economic globalization, the developed countries have launched the re industrialization, and the labor cost advantages of some developing countries are more obvious. Therefore, at present, we need to improve the quality of exports and form a new core competitiveness in order to develop foreign trade. Cai Ling said.

Therefore, Cai Ling suggested that the development of China's manufacturing industry need to start from the actual situation of China and make breakthroughs in core technology. "Many products exported now are made in China, and the core is foreign. Therefore, technological innovation should be taken as a breakthrough point in expanding foreign trade." Cai Ling also suggested that more efforts should be made to enhance vocational and technical education, which is also crucial to steadily improving the quality standards of products.

Although China's supply capacity is relatively strong, but the rapid growth of domestic investment and the rapid growth of foreign direct investment brought by the international division of labor, China's production capacity has increased many complex factors, and the industrial chain and financial circles are intertwined and fused seriously. More importantly, it is the international shortage or unwilling processing trade that accounts for 60% of the total volume of China's exports. In addition, the demand for goods produced by China in the international market is relatively large. Due to the restriction of the overall economic development level, labor-intensive is still the basic characteristic of China's current production. The proportion of international trade surplus of foreign trade enterprises has increased sharply, which is the result of the layout of China's industrial industry. The injury of low level, low level and low efficiency is worth paying attention to and reforming.

Although China has become a major trading power in the world, it is far from a trading power. The fundamental reason is that its product quality competitiveness is not strong enough, and it lacks the brand with high technology content, high added value and high international reputation. Statistics show that labour intensive products account for about 62.9% of China's manufactured industrial exports. Due to the continuous intensification of technical barriers to trade and developed stringent technical standards in developed countries, the failure rate of many products in China is very high, and the loss of defective goods such as rework, reprocessing, scrap and so on is too high. Thus, the cost of products is increased, and the international competitiveness of products is significantly reduced. In particular, China's imports fell by 5.7% in July, and its deterioration exceeded expectations.
