Foreign Trade Enterprises Must Speed Up Their Pformation From Cost Advantages To Comprehensive Competitive Advantages.

The development of China's foreign trade mainly depends on tangible elements such as resources, energy, land and environment.

The pressure on resources and environment is large. In terms of mineral resources, oil and natural gas reserves are less than 1/10 of the world average level, and the average reserves of relatively abundant coal resources are less than 40% of the world average.

At the same time, China has large energy consumption and high unit energy. In 2011, China's unit energy GDP was 2.2 times that of the world.

In the first three quarters of 2011, the GDP energy consumption per unit of our country decreased by only 1.6%.

Ammonia nitrogen emissions decreased by 0.9%, nitrogen oxides emissions did not drop and rise, organic matter and other sustained increase, major environmental pollution incidents occurred frequently.

The rural and soil environmental problems are increasingly prominent, and the problems of soil erosion and grassland degradation are very prominent.

In some areas, the carrying capacity of resources and environment is close to the limit.

At the same time, China has become the second largest country in energy consumption, and oil has more than 50% dependence on imports.

It is estimated that the resource constraints of China's foreign trade development will be strengthened in the coming period.

Two, export products are at the low end of the value chain.

Although China's total foreign trade ranks second in the world and exports ranks first, the value chain is basically concentrated in the middle and low end, with less trade benefits.

Export products mainly rely on the processing and assembling environment with close labor force, low technology negotiation and low added value. The environment of R & D, design and marketing is still in the hands of developed countries.

It is estimated that the export value of China's independent brand products is less than 10%, and that of electromechanical products and high-tech products account for 59% and 31.2% of total exports respectively.

Three, enterprises' ability to resist risks is low.

At present, some export enterprises have declined in order, pressure on losses has increased and capital turnover is difficult.

This phenomenon is particularly prominent in the central coastal areas, especially in some labor-intensive industries, such as toys, clothing, etc., with low added value, and are facing difficulties in bankruptcy and relocation.

The financial crisis and the European debt crisis have made us realize that we must enhance the anti risk ability of foreign trade enterprises as soon as possible. We must take into account the affordability of foreign trade enterprises when we grasp various macro-control policies.

Four, there is an imbalance in the development of foreign trade.

In recent years, with the rapid growth of China's foreign trade, the unbalanced development of foreign countries is mainly manifested in:

1, imbalance in import and export trade.

Our country has maintained a favorable balance of trade for 17 consecutive years, but there is no suitable way to accumulate a large amount of foreign exchange reserves.

2, the development of regional foreign trade is unbalanced.

The coastal area of our team accounts for over 90% of China's total size, and the central and western regions are relatively weak.

3, the overall development of some foreign trade enterprises is unbalanced.

Based on the comprehensive analysis of the situation of foreign trade enterprises in 2012, I personally believe that the foreign trade situation should be cautious and optimistic.

It is necessary to fully estimate the difficulties faced, and it is expected that foreign trade will maintain growth in 2012, but the growth rate may be slowed down.

This is because:

1, the major developed economies are trapped in the debt crisis and fiscal tightening problems. They are generally faced with the difficulties of high unemployment and lack of growth momentum.

Emerging economies may adopt tight economic policies for lack of growth pressure.

In 2012, the foreign capital environment will not improve, and it will be more severe.

2, various forms of trade protectionism will not drop, and may also intensify.

China's products are cheap and beautiful, and occupy a certain position in the world. China is more vulnerable to exclusion and unfair treatment in some countries.

China has become the biggest victim of international trade protectionism.

3, although enterprises are trying to reduce costs, update equipment and improve efficiency and deal with unfavorable factors, enterprises will be in a predicament if the situation continues.

4. In 2011, the appreciation rate of RMB against the US dollar reached 4.86%. After the pressure of unilateral appreciation, the appreciation of RMB will fluctuate stronger in the future, which will reduce the growth space of enterprises and enhance the risk aversion of enterprises.

In the face of the new situation, we should adjust the way of foreign trade development in a timely manner, change the way of development, promote the sustainable development of foreign trade, steadily push forward the process of foreign trade power, promote the balanced development of foreign trade, and maintain China's foreign trade status.

We should speed up the pformation of the development mode of foreign trade and promote the development of foreign trade, from scale expansion to efficiency and quality pformation, from cost advantage to comprehensive competitive advantage.

In the next few years, we must conform to the changes in the new international pattern and work hard to solve the problems faced by long-term development.

First, promote balanced, coordinated and sustainable development of foreign trade.

At this stage, China should not deliberately pursue the trade surplus. We must attach importance to the important role of imports in macroeconomic adjustment and structural adjustment.

We should encourage enterprises to speed up equipment depreciation and technological pformation, and comprehensively enhance the competitive edge of China's manufacturing industry.

On the other hand, we need to expand domestic production data with a strong advantage so as to achieve general and rapid growth in imports and exports, and promote state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises, joint-stock enterprises and private enterprises to develop their respective advantages and develop healthy and orderly competition to form the pattern of foreign trade development of domestic capital, foreign capital, state-owned enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises.

At the same time, we must strive to promote the balance of foreign trade development between the East and the West. We must promote the pfer of the export industries in the coastal areas and develop the insensitive foreign trade economy in the central and western regions.

At the same time, we should further implement the strategy of border opening and enhance the level of border trade development.

Two, speed up the adjustment of industrial structure and implement the strategy of promoting sustainable development of environmental resources.

The sustainable development of foreign trade must take the road of resource conservation.

We should pay attention to the pformation of traditional industries with information technology, reduce the consumption of natural resources, vigorously develop the environmental protection industry, and create new growth points for China's export trade.

Since 1990s, as the world has paid more and more attention to environmental issues, the extension of the environmental protection industry has been developing. It is estimated that the global environmental protection industry will reach US $2 trillion and 400 billion in 2015. Therefore, the environmental protection products will become a promising trade area.

Three, increase overseas investment and foreign research.

At present, the prominent problem affecting foreign growth is the lack of global investment. We need to create external demand, increase overseas investment, increase exports, alleviate the pressure on China's foreign trade development caused by the unfavorable international competition environment, and support the acquisition of domestic enterprises overseas under the current low price of international market goods.

In the long run, by increasing financial support to developing countries, promoting the economy can increase local income and consumption capacity, create more business opportunities for Chinese enterprises' products and promote trade and economic cooperation in developing countries.

Four, speed up trade structure adjustment and weigh more.

Foreign trade should be upgraded to profit, and the government and financial institutions should strengthen their support for innovative enterprises, while supporting the innovation of small and medium enterprises with shortage of funds.

The export of products with high independent innovation is necessary for enterprises to further enhance their sense of innovation, strengthen staff training and strengthen investment.

By absorbing advanced international technology, we will promote enterprise innovation capability through cooperative R & D and joint development.

Five, the implementation of differentiated credit policy has a certain degree of credit tilt to export enterprises.

At present, short term coping strategies can be considered to help export enterprises tide over difficulties.

Six, keep the RMB exchange rate basically stable.
