Made in China - Sovereignty that cannot be abandoned


Recently, the United States and the European Union have sued China against the WTO, claiming that: "China is implementing an unfair 'local ratio' through a complicated tariff system. They think: "This is trying to force European manufacturers to buy Chinese-made accessories. The principle of fair competition. This is a tough measure taken by the European Union and the United States in response to China's "Administrative Measures for the Import of Auto Parts That Constitute the Characteristics of Complete Vehicles" (hereinafter referred to as "Measures").

The "Measures" essentially define the scope of the sovereignty of imported cars and domestic cars. "The sum of the prices of imported parts and components that reaches 60% or more of the total vehicle price of the model" is "imported cars." In other words, if a part of a car with a total price of 40% is produced in China, it is considered a domestic car. According to China's commitment to China's accession to the WTO, China has reduced the tariffs on completed vehicles and parts to 25% and 10%, and gave up on the localization rate. The "Measures" are mainly to strictly define what is imported vehicles, prevent automakers from importing whole vehicles as spare parts in order to avoid higher tariffs, but also to seriously China's commitment to WTO and there is no problem of unfair competition.

The quantified definition of imported products is the sovereignty of a country. This sovereignty is owned by any country. If China abandons this sovereignty in the prosecution against the European Union and the United States, from the standpoint of a single industry, automakers will slightly decompose the vehicle by defining vague legal loopholes, and importing parts and components into China will cause huge tariffs in China. Loss; From a broader perspective, if China abandons the definition right, other industries will also encounter the same problem.

If all industries can not define what is the import of whole machine products and what are the parts and components, then China's customs has lost its functions. It is reported that the cause of today's tension is that individual manufacturers are eager to engage in assembly in China, rather than to engage in solid development and production of the vehicle. The so-called unfairness was due to the fact that individual manufacturers did not establish parts and components support bases in China and believed that they were in an unfair competition situation. Of course, there are also individual companies that have been one of the longest-running companies in China. However, their high-end vehicles cannot meet the “Made in China” standard stipulated in the Measures. The Chinese government has always welcomed the establishment of a component manufacturing system in China and is fair to any company. In order to ease trade frictions, the Chinese government has postponed the implementation of the Measures for two years, but the EU and the United States are still bringing lawsuits to the WTO on grounds of unfair competition. In fact, if China abandons its definition of “Made in China”, it is actually unfair to multinational companies that have contributed to the localization of parts and components.

From the perspective of China’s auto policy, after more than 20 years of reform and opening up, China has established a relatively complete vehicle manufacturing system. What is currently required is to establish an autonomous auto industry system and build the auto industry into the true pillar of China. industry. From a macro perspective, the Chinese auto market is developing in the direction of the third largest market in the world, and China’s economic aggregate determines China’s position in the world market. China is a big country. Big countries must have independent economic systems. Therefore, it is inevitable that "self-development and independent development" will become a national policy. In the context of this large economy and policy, does the Chinese government succumb to external pressure to abandon the definition of "Made in China"?
