Cheap Chinese Goods That Make Peru Hate Hate.

< p > Peru is a South American country which is 16 thousand kilometers away from China and far away from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. But it looks like a neighbor of China.

I recently interviewed in Peru, and came to the rich a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/caijing/20130928/358781.html" > Chinese style < /a >: the capital Lima is full of small restaurants with Chifa and Chinese character signs on the street. There are no Chinese goods on the market, and a face like East Asian faces gives people the feeling of "fellow townsman meeting the townsman".

But there are also some minor contradictions behind the intimacy. A large number of imports, illegal customs declarations or smuggling caused Chinese clothing prices to be too low, which has already affected the jobs of some Peru people.

Many people in Peru say that Peru should enhance its competitiveness through the impact of Chinese manufacturing, while Chinese enterprises should also consider how to solve the employment problem of locals.

< p > "blood and affectionate" to facilitate political and business contacts < /p >

< p > more than 100 years ago, a large number of Chinese crossed the ocean to Peru, built railways and developed agriculture.

In the hall of China Tonghui administration of Chinatown in Lima, I saw the inscription "Qing Hui emperor" inscribed by the emperor of Guangxu.

According to Xiao Xiaoquan, chairman of China Tonghui administration, this is the only time Guangxu emperor has inscribed a plaque for the overseas Chinese community.

Chinese people in Peru have experienced a rather difficult development history. Nowadays, they have surpassed 10% of the total population of Peru, and many of them have become political and business elites.

Xiao Xiaoquan said that the efforts of the Chinese and the strength of the motherland are fundamental to their respect.

Many Chinese people in Peru are proud that the Chinese have changed the eating habits of Peru people.

"Chaufa", "Wantan" and so on are all crowded into the Peru Spanish dictionary according to Cantonese pronunciation.

Among thousands of Chinese restaurants in Lima, there are more guests in Peru than in Chinese. There must be a large plate of fried rice and a fried rice noodle on the local dining table.

< /p >

< p > the easiest way for people to feel good about it is the deep love of this country and China.

This emotional intimacy has brought many benefits to the two countries in their political and business contacts.

Many Chinese businessmen who invest in Peru say that Peru people love Chinese from their heart and understand the way of doing things and traditional culture of Chinese people.

In addition, there are still many people who have Chinese ancestry, so it is more convenient to communicate.

At present, China is Peru's largest trading partner, the largest export market and the second largest source of imports. Peru is China's seventh largest trading partner in Latin America.

< p > < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > cheap Chinese dress < /a > triggering new friction < /p >

< p > like two friends, even if they are very good, it is inevitable that they will stumble and bump. As the two countries are getting closer, the problems in bilateral economic and trade relations will also be exposed.

In the book "China is global: an incomplete power," Shen Dawei, an American scholar, said that the exploitation of natural resources and the influx of cheap and low-end Chinese made products are the cause of China's negative image in Latin American countries such as Peru in recent years.

< /p >

< p > when I arrived in Lima, I heard about the burning of Chinese clothing at the end of August in the market.

In September 5th, some people took to the streets and asked the government to investigate Chinese clothing illegally entering Peru.

When reporters walked into the bustling market of Kam Mara, they could find small needles, hairpins, pins and other small commodities that were not so common in China, even the prices were almost the same as those in China's small market.

Tens of thousands of merchants in the clothing and small commodities market, which are ranked in South America, sell a lot of "made in China" products.

But I am puzzled by the fact that some merchants seem to be disgusted with cheap Chinese goods.

In a clothing store about six or seven square meters, Pepe, a more than 30 year old shopkeeper, said she did not take part in the activities of burning Chinese clothing. But she was afraid to bring herself to harm herself, and also shut down for a day. She thought, "it was launched by a small number of people who were afraid of competition."

< /p >

< p > local Chinese businessmen told me that they are afraid of competition from Peru businessmen who are mainly driven by garment factories. They are very sensitive to the price of Chinese clothing.

Chinese clothing sells very cheap in this market because some clothing traders illegally declare low prices, and some smuggle from neighboring countries, which makes some legitimate businesses feel unable to bear the impact of low price of Chinese clothing.

According to the press, Peru has strict restrictions on the import of Chinese clothing and textiles. Although Peru has signed a free trade agreement with China, the production of clothing textiles is a sensitive industry, which is not included in the scope of tariff preferences.

Fernando Gonzalez, director of the APEC Research Center at University of the Pacific in Peru, told reporters that the main reason for the smuggling of Chinese clothing was that some businessmen had cleared the customs through bribery.

But he also said that Peru's labor costs are too high to compete with the large and low-cost Chinese textile industry.

Most of the clothing and textile mills in Peru are small factories with family workshops and are unable to participate in international competition.

In recent years, Chinese products have been increasing the market share of Peru's traditional export destinations, which, to a certain extent, has caused difficulties in the export of Peru's clothing and textiles, thus reducing Peru's textile exports to traditional export destinations.

Official figures in Peru showed that between 2005 and 2012, there were 1.4 garment textile factories in Peru and 94 thousand were unemployed.

< p > the impact of Chinese clothing on Peru reflects the trade pattern between China and emerging economies.

In recent years, Chinese products have been subject to anti-dumping investigations by some developing countries.

The Peru authorities launched an anti-dumping investigation on Chinese clothing products in June this year.

The case involved 276 products with tax numbers, almost including the entire garment and textile industry.

In Argentina, China's desktop fans, ball bearings, seamless steel tubes and other products were blocked; in Brazil, Chinese ceramic tableware, automobile tires and other products were subject to anti-dumping restrictions.

< /p >

Less than P, these economic and trade frictions can hardly affect China's increasing investment in Latin America.

According to the data released by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, China is the third largest source of investment in Latin America in 2012.

But in terms of trade, "made in China" has two sides: on the one hand, many low and middle income families in Peru enjoy cheap and good products; on the other hand, the competition between some products and Peru products leads to some local people's dissatisfaction with "made in China".

The employment problem is the most important problem in any country. It is directly related to the stability of the society and the government. When "made in China" touches the rice bowl, it may lead to trade protectionism.

< /p >

From P to global perspective, industrial competition has become one of the main problems that restrict the "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "made in China" to the world, but the voice of rational understanding of "made in China" can also be heard in all countries.

Ferre Los, general manager of Peru foreign trade association, published an article in the weekly of the association in mid September, saying that low price declarations are illegal and punishable. However, asking the government to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese products is not a reasonable way to solve the above problems. "It is impossible to curb foreign product competition with trade remedy".

Angel Martinez, director of the China Research Center in Peru, told the author that trade dialogue should be based on mutual respect. "We should learn from each other's strengths and learn to adapt to competition in a free market environment."

< /p >

< p > both Peru scholars and local businessmen mentioned that Chinese products need to consider how to solve their employment problems while expanding the market of developing countries.

Specific ways, such as building factories locally, developing brands, providing technology and establishing vocational training system.

More importantly, Chinese enterprises should be encouraged to develop products that are not produced by South American countries and avoid the same nature of products.

Reporters in Peru, Brazil and other South American countries, the market saw the electric mosquito pat is such a product, these small commodities not only fill the local market vacancies, nor will the traditional products such as textiles have the risk of anti-dumping or countervailing, so has great market potential.

< /p >

< p > Chinese enterprises should also actively respond to trade protectionism measures such as anti-dumping, and strive to safeguard their rights and interests.

The business office of the Chinese Embassy in Peru recently stated against Peru's anti-dumping investigation on Chinese clothing and other products. Peru's anti-dumping measures may cause the export of Chinese textiles to Peru to decline, which is not only harmful to the normal development of trade between the two countries, but also to consumers in Peru. In the long run, it will not have positive significance for Peru's clothing industry.
