Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world.
Until recently, the world happily ignored Napoleon’s warning. But China is now shaking the world. The US was the first continental capitalist economy. The European Union is trying to become a second. Potentially, China dwarfs them both. Already, it is a big and controversial presence in the global economy. Its impact is certain to increase still further. Fear is an inevitable response to this growing upheaval. But how far is it justified? And what is the best response?
(41) The amazing achievements of China’s trade
China’s trade performance has, indeed, been astonishing. Between 1980 and 2002, China’s share in global exports and imports rose from 1.2 percent and 1.1 percent, to 5.2 percent and 4.2 percent, respectively. From 1993 to 2002, the volume of China’s exports of goods rose at an annual rate of 17.3 percent.
(42) How to evaluate the impact of China’s trade
To assess the impact of China’s trade, one must start with its comparative advantage and trade policies.
(43) China has reduced her tariffs
In 1992, average statutory tariffs on manufactures were 43.5 percent. After accession to the World Trade Organization, this will be down to 6.9 percent. For primary products, the decline is from 22.3 to 3.6 percent.
(44) Good or bad news?
Between 1979 and 2001, China’s terms of trade-the ratio of the prices of its exports to those of its imports-fell by 30 per cent. As China’s growth drives down the relative price of her exports, countries that compete in third markets suffer declining profitability and market shares. But net importers of China’s exports and net exporters of her imports benefit.
(45) The effect of direct Chinese competition
Gains are even available to countries that would seem vulnerable to direct Chinese competition. The reason is the vertical integration of Chinese production. In 1998, just under a quarter of the value of Chinese exports contained direct and indirect imports. Not surprisingly, such production is particularly relevant to China’s neighbors.
How should other countries respond to the Chinese shock? "Calmly" is the best advice. The biggest reason for calm comes from history. If China is permitted to thrive as a dynamic exporter of cheap manufactures, its people will obtain the prosperity they want. If China is thwarted by protectionist barriers, its people will be correspondingly frustrated and dangerous. The challenges of accommodating a wide-awake China will be huge. But they can and must be risen to.
A. China also reduced the coverage of non-tariff barriers from 32.5 percent of imports to 21.6 percent between 1996 and 2001. This liberalization further increase the competitiveness of China’s exports, because a tax on imports is also a tax on exports.
B. Another World Bank study notes, for example, that between 1985 and 2001, exports from other East Asian emerging market economies to China grew from 59 billion to 835 billion. In 2001, 15 percent of East Asians exports to China consisted of parts of office machines and telecommunications equipment and electronic microcircuits, all of which were for assembly and re-export.
C. If current trends were sustained (which is unlikely), China’s exports would surpass those of the US by about 2010. Over the 12 months to may 2003, Chinese exports of 3,660 billion were the world’s fourth largest, after those of the US, Germany and Japan. Its imports, at 3,230 billion, were the sixth largest, but will soon be bigger than those of Japan, the UK and France.
D. In general, commodity exporters and exporters of sophisticated goods and services gain, while other labor abundant countries lose.
E. China now enjoys significant foreign investment inflows. The volume of capital flows to developing countries is determined primarily by global conditions, not by local economic performance. Countries can increase their share of this capital by managing their economies well, but conditions in the rich countries will always matter more, and these are hard to predict.
F. The former rests on almost limitless supplies of cheap labor. The latter have become remarkably liberal.
选项
答案
F
解析
小标题是说如何看待中国在贸易上所取得的成就,必须从中国的比较优势和贸易政策人手(comparative advantage and trade policies)。选项F中的The former和The latter 正好与此对应。故选项A为正确答案。
