A New Force Of Foreign Trade Is Rising In Zhejiang

In the first quarter of the year, the growth of Hangzhou's foreign trade data is inseparable from the rise of new forces and new formats based on high-tech and cross-border electricity suppliers.

Just as the steady growth of data, Zhejiang's foreign trade will remain evergreen in the new era.

Hangzhou customs statistics, in the first quarter, Hangzhou (excluding provincial companies, the same below) accumulated 84 billion 500 million yuan in imports and exports, an increase of 7.3% over the same period last year.

Among them, Hangzhou exported 9 billion 60 million yuan of high-tech products, an increase of 12.3%, higher than the city's export growth rate of 4.8 percentage points; imports 4 billion 790 million yuan, an increase of 17.6%, higher than the city's import growth rate of 10.8 percentage points.

Over the same period, 4 of the top 10 export enterprises in Hangzhou were mainly high-tech products.

Hikvision is one of them.

"Really invest in physical and mental research and development."

Hu Yangzhong, President of Hikvision, a local enterprise in Hangzhou, talked about how the new force has risen successfully.

It is understood that Hikvision's annual R & D expenditure exceeds 7% of sales revenue.

And the company's products are all over the world.

The streets in England, the Eiffel Tower in France, the Singapore Community...

Today, the Chinese enterprise ranks first in the global video surveillance equipment market, and has set up 20 subsidiaries in Holland, India, the United States and Hongkong, China.

"Hikvision's current overseas revenue growth is faster than the domestic market, accounting for 26%, and such growth will continue."

Hu Yangzhong said.

Along with the development of high-tech products, there is also a new format of cross-border electricity supplier development.

In recent years, taking advantage of the "draught", cross-border electricity providers bring more than one push to foreign trade.

As an operator, Lu Yi, general manager of a sports machinery Limited by Share Ltd in Hangzhou, takes advantage of "draught" to lead enterprises to pform into cross-border electricity providers. Its sales in 2 years are equivalent to the traditional sales volume of the father for 10 years.

Looking at the region, the paction scale of China (Hangzhou) cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot area increased rapidly from less than 20 million US dollars in 2014 to US $3 billion 464 million at the end of 2015.

Not only that, but because of the development of cross-border electricity providers, Zhejiang has become one of Hangzhou's main export enterprises as a cross border foreign trade service platform.

In the first quarter, the export of the company was all cross-border electricity business, with an export value of 800 million yuan and a 1.4 percentage point increase in Hangzhou's export growth.

Chen Mingchun, the director of "Yi Tong", said that it was the first to provide services for the traditional foreign trade enterprises, but they found that the cross-border business enterprises are often unable to follow the complicated process work involving logistics, settlement, customs clearance and tax rebate.

As a result, cross border foreign trade service industry has also taken the "draught".

Gu Guoda, Professor of Economics School of Zhejiang University, believes that cross-border electricity supplier is an important direction of Zhejiang's foreign trade development.

At present, cross-border electricity providers still have bottlenecks in trading procedures, currency settlement, fake and shoddy products and so on. To be bigger and stronger, there is still a need for more mature international business conditions.

With the insistence of Lao Di and the acceleration of new formats, the foreign trade situation is still not optimistic.

Wang Dongtang, deputy director of the Ministry of foreign trade of China's Ministry of Commerce, said that the pressure on foreign trade downward is increasing and the difficulties faced by foreign trade development will not be short-term.

Under such circumstances, Zhejiang, as a major foreign trade province, is constantly looking for a way out under attack.

Zhang Qianjiang, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce, believes that the lag in the adjustment of industrial structure is the main factor that restricts the export growth of Zhejiang Province in the current and even future period. We should speed up the export of products with high technology content, high added value and high efficiency, such as information, environmental protection, high-end equipment, and promote the traditional industries to do well.

In the traditional foreign trade industry, it is the measure to adjust the supply side.

In order to ensure "

With the insistence of "craftsmen", Zhejiang has started the construction of quality and safety demonstration zones for several traditional export industrial clusters since 2007.

"We started with the disorderly competition situation of low quality, low quality, fake and shoddy, and promoted special rectification and regionalization management."

Yu Yijiang, deputy director of the Zhejiang entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said that to promote quality improvement, facilitate trade facilitation and promote regional brands, we should build a pattern of quality co governance and promote the pformation and upgrading of Zhejiang's export agglomeration industry.

Targeted export

The effect of improving quality is obvious.

According to the data of Zhejiang entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau, in 2015, Zhejiang's main trading partner countries (regions) informed the recall of unqualified goods, a year-on-year decrease of 12.9%.

At the same time, Zhejiang's traditional foreign trade is quietly undergoing technological innovation. Even Kangnai's "veteran craftsmen" is currently promoting 3D computer design, upgrading and upgrading Goodyear technology, and studying the technology of flip shoes.

Products are attracting more and more cultural and technological connotations at home and abroad, which is a necessary road for Zhejiang's foreign trade.

"For example, Hikvision's camera, in addition to the quality of the camera itself, the other side pays more attention and wants to buy technology and solutions."

Hu Bin, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce and trade service, cited the example of a service outsourcing.

Service outsourcing, cultural industry, port service...

These new models

Trade in services is an important means of Zhejiang's foreign trade adjustment structure.

Zhang Qianjiang believes that service trade is one of the "short boards" of Zhejiang's open economy, but it also has great potential for development and space.

During the period of 12th Five-Year, the total import and export volume of trade in services in Zhejiang increased from 23 billion 880 million US dollars to US $44 billion 200 million, with an average annual growth rate of 15.8%.

Meanwhile, the proportion of Zhejiang's service trade in total foreign trade increased from 7.17% in 2011 to 11.3% in 2015.

"From the proportion of trade in services to foreign trade, Zhejiang's foreign trade structure adjustment is very intuitive."

Hu Bin believes that although the scale of service trade is not large at present, the growth space is not small.

The increase in the scale of service trade also marks the acceleration of the pformation and upgrading of trade in goods.

Today, Zhejiang Hangzhou has become China's first pilot city for the development of trade in services, and Zhejiang has also included service trade in the 2016 national economic development plan for the first time.

"13th Five-Year" is the golden period of service trade.

Hu Bin said.

The new era of severe foreign trade is also a reshuffle for the structural adjustment of Zhejiang's foreign trade.

The data released by Hangzhou Customs recently showed that Zhejiang exported 146 billion 80 million yuan in April, an increase of 13.1% over the same period last year.

Driven by it, the export growth of Zhejiang Province in the first 4 months was "positive and negative".
