The occurrence and intensity of trade frictions increase in industrial conflict has become China can not avoid the challenge, especially in the current critical situation in external demand and China's economic transformation and upgrading of industrial structure adjustment more difficult and so intertwined in the context of how the global game identify the location, to achieve "Breakthrough" is the Chinese industries and enterprises related to survival and development of one will answer. trade friction to macro policy level
From the Commerce Department data show that China suffered in recent years the number of cases of trade friction and to maintain a high amount of money involved, has for 16 years as the world's anti-dumping investigations than any other country, for five consecutive years as the world's most experienced anti-subsidy investigations country.
According to the World Trade Organization (WTO) statistics, China's exports in 2010 accounted for about 10% of the global total, while China's trade friction for the number of cases about 35% of the total cases worldwide.
"Trade dispute is the appearance of the root cause lies in the industrial structure of the similarities." Consult the China International Economic Research Center, said Wang Jun, vice minister of China and the strong substitutability of some products in some countries, if the industry can not form the core of international competitiveness, rely only on the elements of low cost advantage, then a slight external demand, "trouble", is very susceptible to strong export trade friction.
Industry sources, the field of protection of foreign trade with China is moving from traditional trade in goods to the RMB exchange rate, market access, innovation policy, intellectual property protection and investment, and expansion of trade friction points in dispute from a single product to the entire industry spread, and finally leading to macro-economic policies and institutional level.
Tight trading environment
"As Chinese manufacturing and industrial products in the international division of labor to further enhance the breadth and depth, objective formation on the increasing trade friction and industrial conflict situation." Peace Song said.
In fact, China's current foreign trade and external environment facing unprecedented complexity and severe in the Middle East, North Africa, instability, exacerbated by a major international currency exchange rates fluctuations and international market demand remained weak. World Bank President Robert Zoellick and other experts have said that the European sovereign debt the risk of crises and the United States sovereign credit rating downgrade events such as the superposition effect, making the global market in "new danger zone." Meanwhile, the United States has repeatedly resorted to such unconventional quantitative easing monetary policy, emerging economies and developing countries to bear severe inflationary pressures.
Eyes turn inward, China's economic transformation and upgrading of industrial structure adjustment difficult, some excess capacity to put pressure on foreign trade, and raw material prices, rising labor costs and labor shortages and difficulties in SME financing, financing costs are making the export costs continue to rise, squeezing the survival of foreign trade enterprises.
From the long term, experienced an unprecedented global financial crisis, a global trade and economic development strategies within the depth changes are brewing around the world: from the U.S. government introduced the "National Export Initiative", the EU introduced the "Trade, Growth and world affairs, "the new strategy of foreign trade, India's merchandise exports to the program, have raised more attention in the next three to five years to expand exports, to boost China, the region's employment.
Analysts believe that this means not only the future of international market competition will become more intense,These economies also means that the voices within the industry and protect the anti-globalization sentiment could rise, China will be the first example, since 2010, the United States to increase efforts to protect Chinese industry, by modifying its way to China to strengthen law trade law enforcement, including strengthening the law enforcement is one of the main target of China.

Face a variety of internal and external negative factors on the Chinese export-oriented industrial upgrading and economic development, China's enterprises to break through a policy that?
Song peace proposal, should give full play to include the Ministry of Commerce, local competent commercial departments, business associations and enterprises involved, including the "four-body interaction," the role of coping mechanisms, which is mainly reflected in: Association of fully self-discipline, coordination functions; sectors good early warning and information services, and foreign markets full of communication and interaction; enterprises to respond actively, responding to the formation of efficient teams, including importers, including the mobilization of resources, use of various channels and comprehensive response, and active to further improve the management, such as the establishment of sound financial management system specification, control methods against the trade friction.
For the main target country for trade friction, but also has its own unique coping strategies, such as the EU's trade remedy investigations, Department of Commerce Bureau of Fair Trade Zheng Wei suggested that the EU 27 member states voted to take a unique voting system, involved Chinese enterprises can be targeted to do the work of some member states, while the downstream business with the EU, importers alliance forces to use its community of interest terms "knock down" related to trade remedy measures apply.
