Rubber industry to reduce trade frictions have to change growth mode

To the trade, to reduce trade friction must change growth mode

Foreign counterparts on China's tire industry has employed "bombard." Recently, South Africa, Mexico, India to China one after another anti-dumping investigations initiated tires, plus 4 more, from 2001 to 2005 among a total of 7 countries, China's tire industry to launch anti-dumping investigations, companies face unprecedented difficulties. "Chamber of Commerce is an active organization in India to deal with tire anti-dumping investigation." Minmetals China National Chemicals Import and Export Chamber of Commerce Zhang Ran's legal department to answer several questions from reporters, they rush to participate in a hurry will be the respondent.

Chinese tire companies to undertake anti-dumping case of South Africa appearance of the small anti-dumping law firm Yun Affairs Director Zhang Yi, said earlier that they had to deal with the South African anti-dumping matters to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce Bureau of Fair Trade for a preliminary report, January 6 , The leadership of the Ministry of Commerce has convened a special parties, face-to-face briefing to discuss strategy for the next step. "Ministry of Commerce leadership on this issue is the degree of attention to a very high." Yi said.

From negative to positive way to deal with the growth in actual combat

However, Zhang spent saying --- "wise to understand the situation" to describe the current positive business suits. In the tire industry, as the company filed anti-dumping, in reality, only a few large international tire giants, such as the Association of South Africa only tire manufacturer Bridgestone, Goodyear, Dunlop, the four members of the mainland, anti-dumping cases has shown very strong in a row , After the case of a country, and the other countries to follow up immediately. If Chinese enterprises do not respond in a market in another market will soon be an even heavier blow. In this regard, the lesson is painful, because of China's enterprises did not respond, can only be completely out of Venezuela, Peru, Egypt, the first case of the three markets, resulting in heavy losses. Gradually realizing that a business interest in, over the past several tire anti-dumping suits, the attitude change quickly, the respondent has been very positive.

China Rubber Industry Association Tire Branch said, with the rubber industry responding to the increase in anti-dumping case, domestic manufacturers strongly demand that the rubber industry associations do. Last year, on October 28, South Africa, I tire of the anti-dumping cases, domestic tire companies are called, send a fax to ask China Rubber Industry Association come forward with the South African tire manufacturers association to engage in a dialogue defense. By the trade association on behalf of the industry come forward to help change the situation on their own business in the past, the cause of great importance to South Africa. At the same time, associations and businesses come forward to defend the respondent was also the difference between the respondent companies did not respond to every enterprise is often the result is not the same, and the Association of defense, if fully successful, industry-wide profits, if not Successful, the damage to the industry, in part, if successful, the two sides are likely to negotiate, mediation, which is China's tire exports is also beneficial. The official said: "Chinese enterprises are not tire mess and at the mercy of others, can not allow other people to the most disadvantaged, most of the harsh conditions imposed on us, our Enterprise undermined the legitimate rights and interests."

Zhang Yi to the business process is divided into several stages: the first enterprise was "not responding" and then in the Chamber of Commerce and the Association under the guidance of the "negative appearance," until recently "the initiative to ask for the respondent organizations, associations come forward." In the face of South Africa's anti-dumping, for the first time China's tire industry organizations to carry out large-scale industry without damage to collective defense. For the South African defense, Zhang Yi appears to be confident, "We are analyzing the context of South Africa's economic indicators, the South African industry has not really been any damage, but also increase profits."

Transnational giant outflanking pressure inside and outside the competitiveness of their Chinese counterparts

"Room for the development of domestic tire companies have been seriously squeezed," Rubber Tire Industry Association Branch of the man in charge of the analysis of international reporters tire giant enterprises in China to suppress way, "a number of well-known foreign multinational tire company, in a desperate Chinese factories to expand production capacity , Eating Chinese tire market, on the other hand, took the lead in the international market was launched on the Chinese anti-dumping tires, attacks on the Chinese tire exports. "Chinese tire companies are fully competitive pressure.

Zhang Yi in the anti-dumping litigation experience in the course of an interview with reporters, Zhang Yi trade or business in recent years participated in most of the attention of high anti-dumping case of the respondent, for our country to deal with foreign anti-dumping situation, he There is a profound sentiment. "In recent years, China has become the anti-dumping sanctions has been the hardest hit, especially this year, many of the industry will face overseas anti-dumping," Zhang Yi heavy tone, "and tire industries have been repeatedly blocked, the transnational giants, has become the anti-dumping They are the main means of marketing. "

Zhang Yi said that in China there is no industry such as the tire industry suffered such a high frequency of anti-dumping investigation, 5 years, 7 countries have even gone so far as to bring anti-dumping. Industry analysts believe that the international giant tire from the block is the main reason. At the same time, multinational companies and also set up factories in China investment, China occupies a considerable share of the market, outflanking both inside and outside, attempts to drain China's resources and corporate profits.

Changes in the mode of growth is fundamental

"South Africa and India and other countries on anti-dumping me about the types of tires are bias tires." Yi said. In the bias tire, we can see clearly the characteristics --- "low value-added, labor-intensive." At present, international enterprises are generally relatively high-end of the radial tire. "I'm in the low, people at high levels, are vulnerable to natural combat." Yi said that China's export enterprises, many also began to tire from the bias of the radial shift from quantity-based growth to profit growth Type.

How industry tires for out of their predicament, Zhang Ran Minmetals Chamber of Commerce of "walking on two legs": On the one hand, actively respond to strive for their legitimate rights and interests; on the other hand, to strengthen research and development, and gradually make the product heterogeneity , To strengthen the competitiveness of their products, can be effective only in this way to avoid anti-dumping trade friction and so on.

Rubber Tire Industry Association said the branch, China Rubber Industry Association and the Chinese rubber companies together, study hard and master the rules of international trade, while active in many aspects, down-to-earth and effective work to promote the development of the enterprises to increase their own efforts to improve product The quality of higher prices for better quality in order to change the way export growth.
