Yao Jian: China Resolutely Does Not Engage In Trade Protectionism

2009/4/16 16:14:00 41999

Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesman Yao Jian yesterday said that with the global

Economic crisis

The spread of China's economy is the biggest area of foreign trade, but we are confident that we can get a further improvement in the foreign trade situation on the basis of a gradual recovery in the first quarter.

He also stressed that China is firmly against trade protectionism.

The foreign trade situation will further improve.

Yao Jian said that since last November, China's import and export has been declining for five consecutive months.

External demand is the most important factor affecting the trend of foreign trade. Foreign trade depends not only on the competitiveness of Chinese enterprises, but also on the needs of overseas markets.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis, overseas demand has shrunk and trade financing has also been under great pressure. This is an important factor restricting the export of large equipment.

With the recovery of overseas market demand, China's exports, especially labor-intensive products, and other rigid consumer goods still have relatively large growth space.

Yao Jian said that for the import side, we will also take positive measures to support advanced technology, environmental protection products, support the import of key components and primary products, and further promote the balance of import and export trade.

Yao Jian also expressed confidence that the foreign trade situation could be further improved on the basis of gradual recovery in the first quarter.

He pointed out that the increase in trade surplus and foreign direct investment will increase the amount of reserves, but at the same time, foreign exchange reserves will also increase in overseas investment, so foreign exchange reserves will remain stable in general.

In addition, Yao Jian said that China may send trade delegations to France, the United States and other countries to discuss overseas procurement matters.

Earlier this year, Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming led the Chinese trade delegation to Europe for procurement.

Resolutely against trade protectionism

Yao Jian said that in response to the impact of the international financial crisis, the Chinese government has promulgated a series of policy measures to ensure growth, expand domestic demand and adjust the structure.

Recently, some people have questioned China's economic policy.

Trade

The color of protectionism.

Yao Jian emphasized that opposing the trade protectionism is the consistent position of the Chinese government.

In recent years, China's level of trade and investment liberalization has been rising. At present, China's average tariff level has dropped to 9.8%, which is 1/4 of the world average.

He also said that in the face of the financial crisis, the Chinese government adopted measures such as encouraging imports, encouraging foreign enterprises to participate in exhibitions in China, and implementing zero tariff treatment for the least developed countries.

Yao Jian said that these measures not only provide great opportunities for Chinese enterprises, but also provide opportunities for enterprises around the world.

In April 8th, the US steel pipe industry and related associations formally filed an application with the US Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission to request anti-dumping investigations and anti subsidy investigations on China's exported oil well pipe products.

In this regard, Yao Jian expressed the hope that the US administration will proceed cautiously in the case of filing the case.

Yao Jian said that the first quarter of this year, China's iron and steel products exports fell by 55%, China's iron and steel

enterprise

Encountered great difficulties.

Against this background, it is inappropriate for the US steel tube industry to make a double complaint.

He said that the head of China's Ministry of Commerce has met with us business officials in China, and the Ministry of Commerce will send a delegation to the United States to negotiate with the US government departments.
