Analysis of the Influence of International Trade Protectionism on China's Textile and Apparel Exports

After the outbreak of the international financial crisis, international trade protectionism has risen, and various trade protection measures against my country's textile and clothing products have caused a huge blow to my country's textile and clothing exports. The trade protection faced by China's textile and clothing exports has become increasingly normalized. As of 2011, my country has been the country that has encountered the most anti-dumping investigations for 17 consecutive years, with an average of 40 billion to 50 billion yuan of export commodities involved in the investigation each year. Among them, the investigations on textile and clothing products are the most intensive. According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, in 2010, my country's textile and apparel products encountered 40 anti-dumping investigations and more than 30 technical barriers to trade, mainly initiated by the United States, the European Union, India, Brazil and Argentina and other countries and regions. And detection is the focus of the encounter investigation. Correctly understanding and analyzing the characteristics of international trade protectionism and its impact on my country's textile and apparel exports has positive and far-reaching significance for my country to effectively respond to international trade protection measures and take reasonable countermeasures. 2. Characteristics of international trade protectionism 1. Various, concealed and complex means The trade protection measures of various countries are becoming more and more complex, and the means are becoming more and more diverse, from traditional high tariffs and import quotas to new anti-dumping, anti-subsidy, Technical barriers, green barriers, special protection measures, to the latest labor standards, etc., their protection means emerge one after another. Due to the trend of diversification, concealment and complexity of trade protection methods, fields and service flows, and the ever-changing complex measures, it is more difficult to deal with it. 2. Expanding scope and rising regionalization With the in-depth development of global economy and regional economic integration, the economic ties between countries and regions in the world are getting closer. The mutual trade protection measures between the two countries have developed into a global trade protectionism, and the development of regional economic integration has made the regional economic organizations erect high barriers to trade protection externally, and implement free trade with member countries internally, so as to improve their overall performance. Competitiveness, the differential treatment of member countries to non-member countries has deepened, and the degree of trade protection has also been strengthened. 3. Political goals gradually penetrate into economic activities In recent years, developed countries have spared no effort to incorporate labor standards into the international trade system, hoping to use their own economic legislation to strengthen trade protection and instill human rights concepts and values ​​in developing countries. As the largest developing country in the world, in the process of economic development, China often encounters differential treatment by the country policies of developed countries in order to achieve the political purpose of its foreign policy. 3. The impact of international trade protectionism on China's textile and clothing exports 1. Inhibiting the export of my country's textile and clothing products Countries implement international trade protection policies, the main purpose is to restrain imports and protect their own industries, so countries implement international trade protection measures for the textile and clothing industry As a result, the export volume of my country's textile and clothing products has declined, which has an impact on the textile and clothing industry and caused huge losses to my country's textile export enterprises. According to the regulations of the WTO, the global textile export quota was cancelled in 2008, and the balance pattern of the international textile market was broken. Not only developed countries, but also developing countries began to implement strict trade protection measures on my country's textile and clothing products, and the frequency increased. The higher it goes, the stronger it gets. In particular, textile and garment producing countries such as Turkey, Mexico and India, which also use the textile and garment industry as their pillar industries, have also joined the army of trade protectionism. 2. Raise the export cost of my country's textile and apparel products Europe and the United States are the countries and regions that implement trade protection for textile and apparel products with the earliest time, the largest number and the most stringent requirements. The implementation of trade protection measures is bound to raise the export cost of my country's textiles and garments in these countries and regions. The export advantages of my country's textiles and clothing at this stage are mostly based on the price advantage of low production costs. In order for Chinese products to meet a series of technical standards, green environmental labels, and green sanitation and quarantine systems formulated by European and American countries, enterprises must continuously improve production processes and increase investment in technological transformation, which will directly increase the production costs of enterprises; in terms of labor standards,“Social Responsibility Standards”After qualification certification, the minimum wage standard is enough to make the production cost of enterprises rise significantly. 3. It is easy to produce joint effects. The impact of international trade protection on my country's textile and apparel exports has a joint effect.
