Although the United States announced the decision to delay the "double reverse" survey of China's solar panels, it seems to many industry experts that this is also a sign of China's industrial development. international competition Environmental challenges are becoming more and more serious.

On the 10 day, Shen Danyang, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said in a statement that the Chinese government is seriously concerned about the case. "The United States is global." Advocacy China's public and enterprises are strongly dissatisfied with the fact that the clean energy sector initiatively stirs up trade friction, blames the slow development of industrial development caused by its own competitiveness factors on the competition of Chinese products and intends to take restrictive measures. Shen Danyang said.

Deputy Minister of international trade negotiations, Ministry of Commerce, Chong Quan yesterday, "the seventh China industry international" Competitive power In a keynote speech, the forum said that the overall external market environment facing China's industrial development is tightening. "Global trade and investment protectionism is heating up and trade frictions are increasing. This has seriously hindered our exports and enterprises'" going global ".

Regarding this, Gu Chunfang, director of the Ministry of Commerce's industrial damage investigation bureau, said at the above forum that the upgrading of the core competitiveness of China's industry is still facing many challenges in the future. One of the challenges is the rise of trade protectionism and the increase of international economic and trade frictions.

"Since the financial crisis in 2008, foreign trade protection measures to China have continued to expand and upgrade, and the trade policies of the countries concerned have become more solid, trade frictions tend to be politicized, and abuses of trade remedy measures and various trade restrictive measures to protect the domestic market have increased." Gu Chunfang said.

"On the one hand, the number of foreign trade remedy surveys and technical barriers launched by foreign countries has increased rapidly and the amount of money involved has increased rapidly. Since China's accession to WTO, in 2002 ~2010, China has suffered 692 trade remedy investigations, involving a total of 39 billion US dollars." Gu Chunfang said, "on the other hand, China's trade frictions are gradually expanding from the traditional export products such as textiles and light industries to the high and new industries such as steel, nonferrous metals, chemical industry, clean energy and electronic information. Moreover, it also involves deeper issues such as exchange rate issues, trade in services, intellectual property rights and investment. "

Gu Chunfang said that in these areas, unfair measures and practices abroad have seriously weakened the international competitiveness of China's related industries.

Gu Chunfang believes that another challenge facing the upgrading of China's industrial competitiveness in the future is the severe shrinkage of the international market demand. The export orders of China's foreign trade enterprises have been greatly reduced, and the export of products has been blocked.

Gu Chunfang set out a set of data shows: according to the Ministry of Commerce Industrial safety database statistics, 1~9 months this year, ship, electronic information, light industry, textile and other key monitoring industry's foreign trade orders comprehensive index has dropped sharply, of which the light industry fell the most, reaching 14.5 percentage points.

"According to a questionnaire survey of 300 foreign-funded industrial enterprises in Dongguan, more than 70% enterprises' orders are flat or declining, the average decline is as high as 15%~20%, and many customers also ask for an extension of shipment." Gu Chunfang said, "the information at the 110th session of the Canton Fair has just concluded that in the spanaction order, the proportion of short and medium term orders in the 6 months is as high as 88%, and the proportion of long lists is low. Although the number of visitors to Europe and the United States has increased, the number of people waiting for enquiries is the most, and the actual turnover has dropped 19% and 24% respectively."
