Technical barriers to trade are not all bad

Foreign technical barriers have caused China to lose hundreds of billions of dollars in trade opportunities each year. In 2005 alone, 18 types of export products in China suffered direct losses of 69.1 billion US dollars. Yesterday, the Ministry of Commerce’s set of figures made people more aware that, five years after China’s accession to the WTO, while we tasted the sharp increase in foreign trade volume, “technical barriers” were like a high threshold, and many of our products were returned to the country. . There is no doubt that China is a victim of technical barriers to trade. Many domestic enterprises have hated foreign technical trade barriers. However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and vice versa. It seems that the technical trade barriers that have deeply hurt Chinese export companies are not all bad. Many enterprises in China have actively responded to the process of playing with foreign technical barriers and are constantly innovating. This objectively motivates Chinese enterprises to implement technological transformation and innovation, promote industrial technology upgrading, and increase the added value of goods and international competitiveness. A few years ago, the research institutes of the Ministry of Science and Technology had conducted investigations on some export enterprises in China. The results showed that 81% of China's export enterprises were affected by foreign technical trade measures, and more than 40% of them were due to lack of understanding of foreign technical standards. And suffered losses without meeting foreign product standards. This kind of loss is not simply caused by foreign countries deliberately improving product entry barriers. Our company should also reflect on its own shortcomings when it cries out the crimes of using trade barriers to protect trade. There is an old saying in China: Waiting for the whip to excite yourself. But Chinese companies do not seem to fully understand the essence of this sentence. For example, some factories do not rely on technological innovation to win competition, but rely on lowering workers' labor remuneration and taking advantage of cheap advantages to gain a share in the international market. China has therefore been detained as a "world factory" hat. In the face of foreign technical barriers to trade, we must of course carry out reasonable resistance and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the country. However, if China wants to completely remove the hat of the "world factory", it must also take it from others. We may wish to turn pressure into motivation and use their technical barriers to become "manufacturing" as "creation."
