Chinanews, Beijing, July 13 –Foreign countries' technology barriers on Chinese exporters begin to make their negative impacts felt now. According to a recent survey by the Ministry1 of Commerce, Chinese export volume is greatly affected2 as foreign countries impose technology barriers on them. Some Chinese companies have suffered a direct loss while other companies have seen their production costs increasing greatly, said Zhang Xiang Chen, director of the World Trade Department under the Ministry of Commerce.

 

Information shows that in 2006, about 15% of Chinese export companies suffered from foreign countries’ technology barriers, which caused 75.8 billion US dollars of direct loss, up 9.7% compared with last year. These technology barriers increased Chinese exporters’ production costs by 26.2 billion US dollars, up 21% from last year.

 

Among all industrial sectors4, the food, native products and livestock5 products industry suffered on the largest scale, with 36% exporters in this industrial sector3 being affected, which led to a direct loss of 4.3 billion US dollars. Hi-tech electromachinery industry suffered most seriously. In this industry, foreign countries’ technology barriers caused 46.2 billion US dollars of direct loss, accounting6 for 61% of all direct losses that year. Most exporters that suffered from overseas technological7 barriers are located in Shenzhen, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, where export accounts for a great part of the local economy. In recent years, the United States and European countries imposed less technological barriers on China compared with previous years, while more pressure came from China’s neighboring countries like Japan and South Korea.
