"A lot of people ask me, now the processing trade is not transferred to countries like Vietnam, and what this trend will be?" On the 11th CPPCC National Committee, the first meeting of the group discussion at the economic sector, the Commerce Department deputy Minister Wei Jianguo the asked for the speech initiatively.
Wei Jianguo pointed out that there is indeed a certain shortcomings and deficiencies in the processing trade, especially shorter chain, value added, lower, but resolved the issue of employment, stimulating economic growth, not because there are some shortcomings put denied the processing trade. Commerce Department data shows that China's processing trade resolves 35 to 40 million migrant workers employment, last two years of export volume 51 percent. At present, 97.5 per cent of the processing trade concentrated in the eastern coastal regions 10 provinces, including Guangdong, Jiangsu Province, the largest share.
"Our advantage is labor-intensive, why should transferred out?" Wei Jianguo said that as long as the right policies and the processing trade will not transfer to a foreign climate. There is a phenomenon of some comments to us and knock the alarm, it is necessary to grasp the development of processing trade policy. Solve the employment problem, the need to develop processing trade.
Against some people think that too much to export surplus to cut down the view that members of Wei Jianguo, the export should be maintained steady growth in the circumstances, the adjustment mode of foreign trade growth. Once withdraw from the market, beating into account is not easy. Export-led a lot of employments, not hit slam the brakes.
Wei Jianguo pointed out that the current policy should be adopted to guide the processing living, developing, and gradually shift to the central and western regions. Many people believe that the processing trade must be near the coast, in fact, the eastern region development of the processing trade has encountered land, labor prices, and a number of constraints. In this regard the central and western regions have an advantage, as long as the policy and the eastern region are entirely possible to undertake the processing trade up. Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and other provinces are actively creating an environment to take over the eastern part of the transfer of processing trade.
ˇ°How to take the next step, the government departments are planning, but I think there's a clear stand, it is necessary to designate some of the processing trade limits." Wei Jianguo said.
In the promotion of processing trade gradually from east to the central and western regions, the eastern region depends on what to solve the employment problem, relying on what to get? World trade in services transfer of the general trend provides new opportunities.
"If the processing trade migrant workers solve the problem of employment, trade in services solves the employment problem students." Wei Jianguo said. For example, the Dalian Software Park has been awarded packages from Japan and abroad over the large number of software development business, has attracted a large employment of college graduates.
At present, the international service outsourcing industry's rapid development and accelerate the transfer, the world has become the new trend of industrial division of labor. The State Council on accelerating the development of the service sector made a number of comments to undertake international service outsourcing, as the focus of expanding trade in services, and accelerate the development of international quality services outsourcing companies, the formation of a number of services outsourcing base.
Commerce Department data show that in 1982 China's service trade import and export volume was only 4.4 billion US dollars, and in 2006, it reached 191.75 billion US dollars; service trade exports in the world ranking rose from No. 28 to No. 8. "11th Five-Year" plan, proposed, by 2010, China's total import and export volume of trade in services to reach 400 billion US dollars.
"The first 20 years of this century, China's development is a major strategic period of opportunity. Historic opportunity that is too fast, we must firmly grasp and stable development of the processing trade, and respond positively to international trade in services transfer to the continuation of China's economic development and promoting China's industries the upgrading of the structure. "Wei Jianguo stressed.
Further strengthen the management of intellectual property rights, establish and improve an important intellectual property protection and data privacy protection laws and regulations, to create conducive to the protection and encouragement of service outsourcing information security environment.
Telecom accelerate corporate restructuring, in the whole business, and promote telecommunications network, radio network and the three networks of computer networks, and building a new generation of broadband information and communication network and make better use of Internet communications and high-tech research results, for the take-off of modern service industries play an important role.
