financial crisis, China's export recovery rate for many Western countries jealous. And rising trade protectionism in the tide of Chinese goods into the U.S. abuse of anti-dumping and countervailing policy of the biggest victims.
United States a number of were encouraged to implement anti-dumping against Chinese products, or total lack of understanding of China's national conditions, or is deliberately unreasonable, with non-tariff barriers in trade with China. Launched in 2009, global trade with China benefits involved 12.7 billion U.S. dollars, the United States involved 55% of the total amount of China's tires, oil well pipes, steel wire and other special levy high tariffs. This trade protection not only can not protect workers in employment related industries, downstream industries, the United States also adversely affect employment.
Not only that , the initiator of anti-dumping to protect the USA and China paid a small part of the cost of employment is also expensive. United States International Trade Commission a report on the economic effects of anti-dumping duty report shows that in 1991 as an example, if not to collect anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties, then the U.S. will be a net increase of 1.59 billion U.S. dollars (equivalent to 0.03% of GDP that year) of the benefits . In the same year, the United States due to anti-dumping and countervailing measures, resulting in 6477 working hard to re-employment. The calculations show that the United States in order to protect a person's employment, to pay the cost of 245,000 U.S. dollars. Anti-dumping and countervailing result of the abuse of dog in the manger.
China export miracle, is not created by state subsidies, more than a strong pluggin companies do lose money out. Inexpensive Chinese products, the root cause is the relatively cheap labor in China, Chinese people have a tradition of hard struggle. Nobel laureate Paul Krugman said:" China's average wage of workers is 4% of American workers, with South Korea in 1975, a similar, even if the wages of production workers in Mexico is 3 times the wages of Chinese workers." This China is the Sino-US trade in goods in a long time to maintain quality and cheap labor advantage. Producers not only thrifty, part of China's foreign trade is also very frugal, and China's foreign trade officers abroad than in the room and board are usually the room and board than Europe and the United States who travel a lot worse. All these shape the competitiveness of Chinese products. Low-cost production in China has created best-selling international public goods, achieving a worldwide" commodity democracy." " Made in China" has been deeply interested the people of the household consumption of the United States. According to the U.S. Department of Labor statistics, with the increase of Chinese goods, many U.S. retail prices of goods declined. Sino-US trade relations, the U.S. consumers more and more affordable. The development of China's foreign trade as the global economy has a positive contribution to life in the Third World, many of the poor through the first pair of shoes is made in China. China's contribution in this regard should be encouraged, not suppressed.
History has proved that , the proliferation of state anti-dumping, often run out of their own economic problems. Now, some U.S. companies can not compete, by non-normal protection to survive, this situation should be alert to the United States insight. As the birthplace of the U.S. financial crisis, its business operations in the post-crisis era is still struggling with rising unemployment. To pass the crisis, the United States, the resurgence of trade protectionism. Since Obama took office, the U.S. government has launched against Chinese products by at least a dozen of" anti-dumping" ," countervailing" survey.
Furthermore, U.S. trade remedy investigations continue to break through practice, so-called non-market economy countries the same product at the same time involved in anti-dumping and countervailing investigations. This year on June 1: U.S. Department of Commerce announced on imported Chinese steel grating final ruling anti-dumping anti-subsidy investigation results, said Chinese companies should charge 136.76% -145.18% of the 62.46 percent anti-dumping duties and countervailing duties, the two taxes add up to 200%. Meanwhile, the United States has ignored the majority of the Chinese products is determined by the market price of the facts, the use of discriminatory pricing of alternative country and external benchmarks, leading to serious over-relief. Such as the United States in the investigation of Chinese steel wire company to buy land in China refuse to use the actual price, but in the Thai capital Bangkok, the Chinese province municipality alternative land prices land prices, with the difference as the interests of enterprises receive government subsidies. In addition, in order to get higher" dumping" and" subsidies" rate, the Commerce Department investigation, even against the statutory procedures and practices, made up the outrageous findings.
globalization is a single line, is no turning back. The United States had made substantial gains from globalization, according to World Bank data, China's exports to the United States to the United States each year to save about 100 billion U.S. dollars, which far exceeds the U.S. anti-dumping benefit, the United States should insist on free trade rather than the protection of trade. The dominant position the United States today, no country in history can be compared. Of course, in some specific areas, the United States has encountered a problem. At this time the United States should move forward, not back-line, because back-line will only run into a wall. In the anti-dumping and countervailing issues, the U.S. should do is to reflect rather than complain, should reflect on their own products Why so expensive. Rather than complaining about why the Chinese products so they should. Dog in the manger the U.S. economy, trade protectionism is not a permanent solution.
