The situation is indeed as expected by Fan Wuyao. This time the No. 1 Chief Ken visited New Zealand in person, mainly because the negotiations between the two countries have made gratifying progress. The New Zealand government expressed its willingness to recognize China's market economy at an appropriate time. status.

This message has made domestic senior officials very important, just like when New China was founded, Britain, as a very influential country in the West, first recognized the status of New China, if it was also one of the Western countries. New Zealand can recognize China’s market economy status, and it will open a gap for China in the unbreakable Darfur camp.

If the gap is opened, it will be followed by the collapse of allied forces created by the US government under the temptation of huge interests for countries vying to establish deeper economic and trade cooperation with China.

Considering this situation, Captain No. 1 is so anxious to visit New Zealand, and he will get a reasonable explanation.

China’s market economy status has caused serious damage to companies, and the dispute between China and Darfur over the issue of China’s market economy status has a long history. Although China has made great achievements in reform and opening up and market economy construction, it is obvious to all. However, world economic giants such as the European Union and the United States have not recognized China's market economy status.

Last year, the European Union began to see some changes in its trade policy with China. It announced that it would remove China from the list of non-market economy countries, but still regards China as a market transition economy country, allowing Chinese companies to defend market economy status in individual cases. Receive market economy treatment one by one.

In fact, since China’s market economy status has not been recognized by the EU, the EU does not use the domestic price of a certain type of product as a reference when determining whether Chinese goods are dumped in its territory at a price lower than cost. The price of similar products in similar countries is a reference.

Due to the large incomparability between the selected third country and the specific circumstances of China, the EU has greater arbitrariness and unfairness in anti-dumping investigations against China. This has greatly affected the ability of Chinese companies to defend themselves when dealing with anti-dumping allegations.

To give a simple example, Chinese color TV sets exported more than one million units to the EU per year before 1993, but the EU started an anti-dumping investigation on Chinese color TV sets in 1993. The EU selected the reference country during the investigation process. Singapore, and Singapore’s labor cost is more than twenty times that of China.

Under unfair reference, China's color TV was judged as dumping.

A few years later, Chinese color TVs lost their market share in the EU.

Therefore, the issue of market economy status has become a stumbling block for Chinese companies to deal with anti-dumping charges.

In recent years, trade relations between China and the EU have rapidly drawn closer. Not only has the total trade volume between China and Europe increased, the EU has become China's second largest trading partner. But at the same time, China has also become the hardest hit area for EU anti-dumping.

According to figures provided by the Ministry of Commerce, since China encountered its first anti-dumping case in 1979, the EU has filed nearly a hundred anti-dumping investigations against China so far. The total number of product cases filed against China ranks second only to the United States, affecting China’s exports. The amount is more than four billion U.S. dollars, and the products involved basically cover all areas of exports to Europe.

Like the lifting of the arms embargo on China, the EU still faces many obstacles to finally recognize China's market economy status. From a technical point of view, the first problem facing the EU is that the EU believes that the production and prices of some commodities in China have serious government intervention, such as some resource commodities.

Secondly, the government has disguisedly supported many large companies that were unable to repay bank loans due to mismanagement, and waived their debts in a non-market-oriented manner through government orders.

Third, since the European Union began to review the market economy status of Chinese companies one by one last year, only a small number of companies are still considered to meet the requirements of the market economy. All of these have no small impact on China's overall market economy status.

From the decision-making level, the EU's decision on this issue is facing double pressure from industry and member states. In international trade, because tariff barriers and non-tariff barriers are largely restricted, countries have to seek other more effective protective measures. Anti-dumping is a disguised protective measure recognized by the World Trade Organization.

In this case, if the EU recognizes China's market economy status, it will mean that China's ability to deal with anti-dumping is greatly enhanced, and it also means that the EU's trade deficit with China may increase.

At present, the EU's trade deficit with China has reached nearly 10 billion euros. If it continues to increase, pressure from EU industry and member states will definitely increase.

Of course, political factors are also one of the factors that affect EU decision-making. The most obvious example is Russia.

Although many people believe that China's economic liberalization index is far ahead of Russia, the degree of market economy development is better than Russia, and Russia is not a member of the WTO, the EU is already considering officially recognizing Russia's market economy status.

Naturally, everyone can see the truth very clearly, but it is very difficult to operate. Therefore, after New Zealand showed goodwill, China decided to strike while the iron was hot and open the hole first.

"Once China's market economy status is recognized by New Zealand, which is part of the Western powers camp, it will bring very positive significance. First, from a macro perspective, this behavior will have a very important role model for other countries. It means that China's achievements in reform and opening up and market economy construction over the years have been recognized by Western countries. This is not only a question of trade, but also of great benefit to international politics and China's international image." Fan Wuyi Shen Ying explained, “Secondly, from a technical perspective, obtaining market economy status will benefit the further development of China’s trade with New Zealand. It means more accurate cost calculations for Chinese goods and more transparent dumping investigations against Chinese companies. , Operability and fairness, the self-defense capabilities of Chinese companies have thus been strengthened, thereby driving a healthy development of bilateral trade."

"It turns out that there is so much knowledge in it, you deserve to be studying international trade, and you know so much." Shen Ying said to Fan Wuyao with a smile.

"It doesn't have a great trade relationship with the country I studied, and I realized it by myself." Fan Wubingxin said that I only stopped a few days in university? It's strange to learn things. At the beginning, the exams were passed by cheating, but no one was willing to pursue these things seriously.

While the two were talking, Minister Wu from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation walked over and introduced Fan Wuyi to the representatives of the New Zealand Wool Industry Association. They chatted and sat down for a drink.

"He told us what he did selling wool?" Shen Ying asked Fan Wuyi in a low voice. They talked in Chinese, so there was no need to worry that these New Zealanders would understand.

"If you want someone to work, you have to give some benefits." Fan Wuyao also replied in a low voice, "There is nothing else in New Zealand. Wool is everywhere, but it is very difficult to sell wool out now, and sales tend to It’s saturated, so they are eyeing the world’s largest consumer market, so, you know—"

"In international exchanges, everyone is such a villain! Anything has been put on the surface, this is also frank and frank." Shen Ying said with a smile.

"Well, in fact, diplomacy is about doing business. Whether the business is profitable or making a loss or making a profit, diplomats have a balance in their hearts. Whether they can do well in this business depends on whether they meet a diplomat who knows how to balance." Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying, “Sometimes if you should take advantage, you must take advantage. If you lose, you will suffer. It is not a long-term solution to blindly lose or take advantage."

"General Fan!" The ambassador who was passing by heard Fan Wuyi's words and couldn't help but exclaimed, "I have long heard that General Manager Fan is so talented. I just heard these words and knew this. The words are true. Is there any discrepancy under the prestigious reputation? If Mr. Fan intends to come to the diplomatic circle, he must be a good player."

Fan Wubing raised the wine glass in his hand and touched the ambassador, then said, "Don't talk about it, it's all in the wine."

The ambassador touched him knowingly, and then went on to greet other guests.

"Are you sure he is a diplomat?" Shen Ying said with a smile, "Why flatter makes so loud?"

"That's natural~lightnovelpub.net~ If you don't know how to flatter, what big things can you do?" Fan Wuyao also smiled.

However, this time No. 1 Long brought Fan Wuyi to visit, and indeed there are requirements, because New Zealand's request is to establish a long-term wool sales channel with the six parties. It is said that this request is not excessive, but now The problem is that the number of sheep in New Zealand seems to be a little more.

At present, there are at least 60 million sheep on the playground in New Zealand. There are so many sheep who graze the turf and shear the wool. Such a large number is indeed a bit frightening.

In fact, the domestic wool industry is oversaturated, and it is also considering the way of exporting. At this time, if so much New Zealand wool is added, how much impact will it have on the industry?

In this way, it is more difficult to consume these wools by relying on the currently sluggish textile industry. However, New Zealand’s requirements have to be agreed, otherwise the losses to themselves will be greater. Under this situation, No. 1 Chief thought of Fan Wuyi first.

"Xiao Fan, you must do us this favor!" When No.1 was growing empty, he patted Fan Wuxian's shoulder, and said to him with earnest expectation and earnest voice.
