    China remains world's 3rd largest trader











    中国海关总署1月11日公布的数据显示,去年内地进出口贸易总额突破1.4万亿美元,继续稳居全球第三大贸易国地位;外贸顺差达到创纪录的1,019亿美元,比2004年的319亿美元高出2.2倍。


     










    The Chinese mainland recorded US$1.4 trillion in foreign
    trade volume last year, helping China to remain the third largest trader
    in the world.

    Behind the big figures though, a widening trade surplus is arousing
    the concerns of trade partners.

    Senator Max Baucus, a member of the US Senate Finance Committee,
    warned that Washington was likely to take measures to reduce imports
    from China to narrow the gap in bilateral trade.

    China's General Administration of Customs yesterday said its
    statistics showed China's imports and exports grew 23.2 per cent year-on-year(与上年同期数字相比的)
    to US$1.42 trillion in 2005. The volume nearly tripled that of 2001.

    The country's exports stood at US$772 billion in 2005, up 28.4 per
    cent on the previous year; imports hit US$660.1 billion, up 17.6 per
    cent on the year before.

    However, the country's trade surplus in 2005 tripled that of the
    previous year, reaching a record US$102 billion.

    China saw a trade surplus of over US$100 billion with the United
    States last year.

    But statistics from the US say the figure is around US$200 billion.
    The difference is due to different calculating methods.

    China's trade surplus with the United States is not expected to
    massively decline this year, said Mei Xinyu, a researcher with the China
    Academy of International Trade and Economic Co-operation, a think tank
    of the China Ministry of Commerce.

    "I would like to contribute the imbalance to the fast economic
    growth of the United States and the cooling-down of China's economy in
    the first half of last year," he said.

    He said China understands that there are many problems wrapped up in
    the trade imbalance but these, which were not caused by one single side,
    must be solved through mutual efforts.

    On one hand, the expert said, growth in China's consumption will help
    to solve the problem but "it is difficult to speed up consumption
    in China in a short period of time."

    On the other hand, the US Government should lift its restrictions on
    exports to China so as to narrow the gap.

    The United States imposes restrictions on exports of certain products
    involving high-technology. The growing trade surpluses have brought
    about various trade conflicts, such as textile disputes with the US and
    the EU and the EU's claim of the dumping of Chinese shoes.

    Although the textile disputes have been settled through negotiations,
    quotas that should have been removed were re-introduced into China's
    textile exports.

    Thousands of Chinese footwear producers are waiting to see what will
    happen in regards to the EU's investigation into shoe dumping.

    Lu Jianhua, director of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry
    of Commerce, said that this year China is likely to encounter more trade
    friction, concerning its exchange rate and trade systems.

    "New problems are expected to come to a number of sectors, such
    as textiles, household electrical appliances, and the chemical
    industrial and steel industries," he said.

    Customs statistics said general trade grew 21 per cent to US$594.8
    billion in 2005 year-on-year.

    The European Union continued to be China's largest trade partner in
    2005, with bilateral trade of US$217.3 billion, up 22.6 per cent
    year-on-year.

    The United States was China's second largest trading partner with
    US$211.6 billion in bilateral trade, followed by Japan with US$184.4
    billion.

    China's trade volume with its top six trade partners exceeded US$100
    billion last year for each of them.

    Monthly foreign trade in December stood at US$139.8 billion, a new
    record, reflecting a yearly increase of 20 per cent.

    Exports stood at US$75.4 billion in December, up 18.2 per cent
    year-on-year, while imports reached US$ 64.4 billion, up 22.2 per cent
    over the previous year.
