"Made in China," the strength to make "manufactured in Brazil," felt the pressure of competition. Recently, the Brazilian Foreign Trade Commission struck again, the tiles from China, bicycles, steel tubes and other industrial products once again boarded the anti-dumping list. Industry pointed out that for China, to expand the amount of imports from Brazil, while increasing investment, or to change the passive situation now is one of the prescription.
Recently, the Brazilian Foreign Trade Commission announced a series of measures to restrict imports to protect Chinese industry, "China" have become the biggest victim in the increase in tariff of seven products, five products imported from China, including ceramic tile (from 15% to 35%), cycling (from 20% to 35%), split air conditioning (from 18% raised to 35%).
In addition, Brazil will be carbon steel pipe from China anti-dumping sanctions in the next two years, the carbon steel pipe imports from China will be charged $ 743 per ton of punitive tariffs, the equivalent of the price increase than the current 80% by anti-dumping sanctions also products from other countries, such as Chile, the production of crude salt will be subject to punitive tariffs on 35 percent of the face of oncoming increasingly strong trade protectionist measures, industry analysis, "Made in China," the strength to make "Brazil to create" feel the pressure of competition, but the constraints of the latter is to open up the market because the economic structure of its own, should not be "Made in China" as a scapegoat for China, to expand the amount of imports from Brazil, while increasing investment, or to change the passive situation now is one of the prescription.
Aimed at European markets
In Brazil nearly three years studying Chinese Levin said the Brazilian government would not understand, she told reporters, cheap "Made in China" is very popular with consumers in Brazil. "My friends liked China, Brazil commodities, like clothes, appliances,Sales in Brazil are very good. "Levin said.
"In fact, bilateral trade deficit with China at the state, protection of trade with China, Brazil seems to be no good reason, but the face of U.S. and European markets, the 'Made in China' strength is obviously to make manufactured in Brazil under attack." China International Economic and Exchange Center Research Associate Huang ZL gave away the Brazilian government for the "Made in China" so strong reasons.
In recent years, Brazil's industrial production and exports continue to decline, the so-called "reverse industrialization" trend of more and more obvious, while the Brazilian business community in China, but that is the international pressure on the Brazilian business market space for China.
At the same time, the media also often reveal the voice of the Brazilian public opinion and the business community, they believe, importing large quantities of the industrial sector, especially imported products from China, to seize and squeeze the space for the Brazilian market, Brazilian business enterprises repeatedly made report, accused the "Asian competitors," especially China, "by manipulating the exchange rate" and "unfair trade practices," to seize the growing Chinese consumer market in Brazil.
Brazil for the "Made in China" moves of the reasons seems to be a reasonable explanation, but told reporters the industry experts generally believe that "Made in China" should not become Brazil's economic and industrial production slowdown, "scapegoat", the crux of Brazil's own economic problems.
"Even the Chinese products shut out not fundamentally solve the problem, but will affect bilateral trade relations." China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, Latin American expert, said Hong-Ying Wu, affect the production of Brazilian exports and China is its own economic development has slowed down the momentum and the global economic downturn of the status quo.
There is a set of data shows that the first few months of this year,Brazil's industrial production growth slowed very significantly, in June, industrial production decreased 1.6% in July despite growth of 2.2%, but still down 9.9% year on year.
Huang ZL, pointed out that the Brazilian manufacturing industry lost in the "three highs" - high taxes, high interest rates and currency appreciation. "As many as 58 kinds of taxes in Brazil," his analysis, the Brazilian industrial enterprises in the high tax burden in Latin America level, while Brazil's high tax burden is caused by "reverse industrial" roots.
In addition, higher interest rates but also inhibit the enthusiasm of the Brazilian industrial investment; sharp depreciation of the real appreciation of the dollar also weakened the competitiveness of Brazilian exports.
Do not head
Experts interviewed agreed that China is no doubt Brazil will face more frequent and more stringent anti-dumping investigation.
Concern for the Chinese, Brazilian Embassy officials responsible for economic Gerry Sita Nuo told reporters, at present, the anti-dumping and countervailing duty policy, Brazilian business sector has a mechanism of dialogue, the Brazilian government to implement the final any new tariff policy, certain procedures must first go through this and this dialogue will also be launched and the Chinese authorities.
Any trade war, both sides can not get out of the war, obviously, "eye for an eye" is not at this time China's best means of self-protection. "Now, instead we should help Brazil, if he followed along with the United States put pressure on RMB appreciation, that when we are too passive. "Huang ZL, said in addition suggest that the Chinese export enterprises to actively responding to outside, he also made two suggestions to deal with from the potential negative impact firstly, to increase imports from Brazil, ease of payments, Brazil branch imbalance of pressure. "Although Brazil is China's trade surplus, but its overall trade deficit is still the situation, and a deficit year after year to expand,If China can help ease the deficit, may ease the Brazilian of Chinese products 'hostility'."
The second is to expand the Brazilian manufacturing industry, especially direct investment. Huang ZL analysis, the current low rate of investment in Brazil is facing, industrial investment enthusiasm is not high difficulties, and China China is facing manufacturing overcapacity and other issues.
Therefore, we should continue to take positive and effective measures to encourage Chinese enterprises to invest in expanding access to resources, while the gradual transfer of manufacturing capacity in Brazil, expansion of investment, the rate of investment to improve Brazil, China, to contribute to improving employment, making Brazil a Chinese manufacturing enterprises" going out, "a model to achieve a win-win bilateral economic and trade relations.
At present, China has become Brazil's largest trading partner, bilateral trade in 2010 amounted to $ 62.5 billion, of which Brazil is $ 13.57 billion surplus, "Actually, with the increasingly close economic and trade relations, trade friction is a normal phenomenon, mainly to see how the two sides to solve this problem. "Hong-Ying Wu said.
