China is going to face growing trade frictions in the
years to come, said Li Ling, director of the Bureau of Fair Trade
for Imports and Exports, inside the Ministry of Commerce, during an
interview with the Economic Information Daily run by the
state Xinhua News Agency.
The whole world will perceive China's rapid development in a
more global and strategic view, said Li.
Chinese export products will encounter the most trade frictions
around the world, said Li, warning steel, textile, machinery and
electronic products and information products against such frictions
this year.
As China has successively been the country that is subject to
the most anti-dumping investigations in the world for many years,
it has also become the country that has encountered the most
anti-subsidy investigations in 2007.
Nowadays, trade barriers are set up in more diversified and
disguised ways, said the director.
She gave five suggestions to help enterprises to cope with
possible frictions: better understanding of WTO rules and trade
remedy investigations; positive reactions in case of trade
frictions; improvement of internal management; intensified industry
discipline and observation of business ethics and market rules; and
finally, better adaptation to the international market.
