Can Chinese Shoe Enterprises "Charm" Be Removed?

Recently, the EU anti-dumping investigation on leather shoes in China, which lasted for 18 months, came to an end.

The WTO ruled that the relevant provisions of the EU's basic anti-dumping regulations violated the rules of international trade, while the terms used by the EU anti-dumping agencies were wrong.

Then, can China's leather shoes industry, which has finally lifted the anti-dumping duty "magic spell", receive olive branches from the EU market? Can 10th anniversary of China's WTO accession break the "trade barrier" of anti-dumping?

Half a year ago, if you buy a pair of Chinese made products in the UK,

The unreasonable trade protection measures in the past 5 years have finally come to an end.

The success of anti-dumping is bound to set more conditions, such as tariffs, other quotas and so on, which will definitely affect the export shoe enterprises.

(has our shoe industry been a relatively large exporter in Europe?) now the proportion of Putian is less and less, and now the US and South America will be a little bit more.

(because of the reasons for anti-dumping?) Yes, and because the market in Europe has been chaotic in recent years, sales have been declining.

So in recent years, Putian's shoe companies have been constantly adjusting the market.

With the boycott of 5 enterprises such as our government and AOKANG, the European Union formally cancelled 16.5% anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes from April 1st this year.

This has lasted for nearly 5 years.

We must familiarise ourselves with international rules when participating in international trade.

Zhou Jinmiao, vice president of Kangnai group, said that the ruling is a reminder to the EU and Chinese Enterprises: "it is also good for China's future trade with the European Union. First, it is also a reminder to the European Union. If you do such a thing again, you are talking about credit, which is also a warning bell for him.

Second, for ourselves, we are also required to be more familiar with these laws and regulations. If you are not familiar with it, you will suffer. We are not already suffering. The enterprises themselves, since we are participating in international trade under the condition of market economy, we should also familiarize ourselves with these international regulations as enterprises themselves. If we have mastered these things, then we will have more sufficient reasons to compete with others in the reasons put forward by the European Union.

My understanding is that Chinese products will enter the European Union in the future. This is whether the market can welcome you into China's leather shoes. On the one hand, we rely on the competitive power of our Chinese enterprises. This is the good opportunity for us to make good use of it. Of course, it is good news for us. If the terms of trade are fair, I think it will be more beneficial for China to enter the international market.

The WTO ruling is a major benefit for Wenzhou shoe manufacturers.

In fact, the dispute over leather shoes trade between China and Europe has been going on for many years.

From 1995 to 2005, the EU imposed a quota limit of 10 years on China's export footwear.

In 2006, the EU imposed anti-dumping measures on Chinese leather shoes for two years.

In December 2009, the EU extended its anti-dumping measures to April 1st this year, regardless of China's opposition.

What will be the change of a trade barrier that has lasted for more than ten years to China after ten years of WTO entry?

After joining the WTO in 2001, China became the most anti-dumping investigation country by the European Union, and the most anti-dumping measure.

The key areas of anti-dumping investigations by the European Union were concentrated in Guangdong and Wenzhou.

According to one data, from 2006 to the end of 2010, the sales of leather shoes exported to Europe dropped by 20%, due to the EU's anti-dumping duties, which directly led to 20 thousand unemployed people.

Zhang Handong, director of Zhejiang international economic and Trade Research Center, believes that the WTO ruling is a major positive for Wenzhou shoe manufacturers.

Zhang Handong: such a ruling should be a good thing for our Zhejiang, especially the leather shoes manufacturing industry in Wentai area.

It should be said (EU) that it will adjust its violation of WTO rules according to the ruling of WTO, but WTO has not said that it should return or compensate for anti-dumping measures and other trade measures that have been implemented.

China can correct unreasonable trade rules at the end of ten.

Yesterday, Shen Danyang, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, welcomed the ruling made by the WTO. China urged the European side to respect WTO's ruling, cancel the legislation and discriminatory practices that are not in conformity with the rules of WTO as soon as possible, treat China's export enterprises fairly and safeguard the normal trade activities between China and Europe.

Mei Xinyu, an expert in the long-term study of foreign trade issues, believes that WTO's ruling proves that after ten years of accession to the WTO, China can finally correct unreasonable trade rules.

Mei Xinyu: This indicates that after ten years of accession to the WTO, China has been able to rectify other unreasonable trade rules through the channels of WTO, which is a very significant progress.

Since the European Union and the United States are the most influential countries and regions in the world, the basic rules of EU anti-dumping are revised under the pressure of the WTO ruling, which can be imagined for other countries and regions.

As for China's position and role in the WTO, Mei Xin Yu believes that the path of China's entry into the world in the past ten years means a change in direction.

Mei Xin Yu: China has entered the WTO for ten years. If the past ten years in the international trade and economic rules, our main theme is in line with international practice, then, in the next ten years, in the international economic and trade session, the focus of our efforts is increasingly shifting to promote the softening of rules and promote the pformation of international economic and trade rules to a more reasonable and more suitable direction in our interests.
