On road to trade excellence

By Yu Xiang (China Daily) Updated: 2014-02-15 08:03

China's rise as a strong trading nation will not only help it meet its domestic economic goals, but also deepen its ties with the world

The year 2013 was special for China, for it saw a new leadership take office, the Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issue an extensive reform plan, and China become the largest trading nation.

China's foreign trade weathers storm of fluctuation

The combined value of China's exports and imports last year was $4.16 trillion, up 7.6 percent year-on-year subject to an adjusted yuan, according to data released by the General Administration of Customs on Jan 10.

China's growing economic engagement with the world has reached a new level after three decades of reform and opening-up, with its trade partners also benefitting from the process. For example, a Rhodium Group report says Chinese companies provided more than 70,000 full-time jobs in the US by the end of 2013, an almost eight-fold increase compared with 2007 (when they provided only about 9,000 jobs).

More importantly, the figures indicate that China has completed the transition from an inward-looking economy to an important stakeholder in the global economy and, therefore, should play a more active role in world affairs to maintain a more stable and benign economic environment in the world.

China was the world's largest trading nation from 1644 to 1912. In its Feb 16, 2013, issue, The Economist said: "The Qianlong Emperor (1711-1996) claimed, somewhat optimistically, that his dynasty's majestic virtue had penetrated every country under heaven. China's exporters and importers have now accomplished exactly that." Becoming the largest trading nation is a remarkable achievement, but it would be wrong to compare present-day China to the one during the Qing Dynasty. Today's China doesn't have the Qing Dynasty's imperial ambitions and is well aware of its real position in the world - a big but not a strong trading nation.

First, China is still not an innovative economy and lacks many core technologies; it is thus weak when it comes to competition. The US economy, in contrast, is driven by innovation. According to the US Department of Commerce, its intellectual property-intensive industries support at least 40 million jobs and contribute $5.1 trillion (or 34.8 percent) to the country's GDP.

Second, China's trade is disproportionately dependent on exports, and the US has a big lead over China in terms of trade in services. China's trade in services in 2012 was about $471 billion, less than half of the US' $1.07 trillion. Moreover, the low proportion of value-added processing trade makes the Chinese economy vulnerable to certain factors, with the uncertain global demand, a stronger yuan and rising labor costs taking their toll on Chinese exporters.
