Chang Yizhi, a researcher in the chemical industry of China Investment Consulting, pointed out that under normal circumstances, in the economic downturn, some countries tend to adopt protectionism for products of other countries in order to ensure the development of domestic production enterprises and stabilize domestic employment levels. Trade policy. Especially since the outbreak of the financial crisis, China's textile products have encountered various trade barriers when they are exporting abroad. Many countries have adopted anti-dumping and special safeguard measures for China's textile products, and trade protection measures have become more diversified.
According to the “2010-2015 China Chemical Fiber Industry Investment Analysis and Prospect Forecast Report†issued by China Investment Consultant, from 2001 to 2008, foreign countries initiated 55 special safeguard measures for China's textiles. In 2009, under the WTO trade remedy framework, there were more than 30 foreign projects and preliminary rulings on China's export of textile products, including chemical fiber filaments, chemical fiber staple fibers, curtains, ribbons, electric blankets, and curtains. A series of products from raw materials to terminals, such as cloth, cotton yarn, bed sheets, linen, narrow looms. Among them, in 2009, foreign countries initiated 12 anti-dumping investigations on China's textile and apparel, 1 countervailing, 4 safeguard measures, and 2 special safeguard measures. In the 12 anti-dumping investigations, the United States, Brazil, and Argentina each had two, and South Africa, Peru, India, Indonesia, Turkey, and the European Union each had one.
Chang Yizhi pointed out that from the above statistics, it can be seen that in 2009, after the outbreak of the financial crisis, the number of trade protection cases for textiles and clothing in China is increasing.
In addition, since the beginning of 2010, there have been more than 10 anti-dumping and countervailing cases against textile products in China, including polypropylene, nylon filament yarn, circular loom, polyester staple fiber, Weaving electric heating pads, etc.; foreign countries have also reported 14 cases of textile recalls in China in January this year, including 9 children's clothing and 5 children's plush toys.
Chang Yizhi believes that in recent years, in order to protect the economic interests of domestic textile enterprises, some countries have adopted different forms such as quota restrictions, anti-dumping, countervailing, technical barriers, corporate social responsibility, special safeguard measures and product recalls. The trade protection measures to limit the export of China's textiles and garments are extremely unfavorable to the development of China's textile industry.
Zhang Yulin, research director of China Investment Consulting, pointed out that trade protectionism will be the norm in the global economic recovery after the financial crisis, and because China is the world's largest trade exporter, it will become trade in other countries. The main target countries of protection measures, China's relevant export enterprises and departments need to face up to this situation and take corresponding countermeasures to reduce losses to a lesser extent.
