With the rapid development of China's communication equipment industry in recent years,a number of companies with strong competitiveness has emerged in the international market,such as Huawei,ZTE,Lenovo,TCL,Shanghai Bell,Fenghuo,etc.At the beginning,most of companies started from the foundry manufacturing,OEM design and export,and then slowly developed into an innovation-driven multinational company based on independent brand development and international brand innovation.Thus,the status of China's communication equipment industry has experienced greatly improvement in the global communications equipment industry value chain.However,the rapid development of China's communications equipment industry has gradually made it became the target of major international trade barriers,among them,"national security" trade barriers,intellectual property trade barriers,anti-dumping trade barriers,and technical trade barriers are the major trade barriers,which have caused serious obstacles to the external development of China's communications equipment industry,like increased equipment manufacturing costs and export costs,hindered the products promotion in the local market,restricted M&A and investment.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis of the major trade barriers suffered by China's communications equipment industry.This dissertation conducts case studies on the four major trade barriers through literature review,legal file records,and case evidence collection,then summarizes the lessons and experience from previous trade barriers.The structure of this dissertation is,firstly,briefly introduces the research background,the research content and research ideas,and briefly expounds the research methods of the dissertation,the main innovations and deficiencies.Secondly,this dissertation reviews the relevant literatures on the status quo and countermeasures of the main trade barriers suffered by China's communication equipment industry,and finds that scholars do not have sufficient research on trade barriers in China's communication equipment industry,most of which are based on individual trade barriers,and the strategies lack dynamic comprehensiveness.Therefore,this dissertation focuses on the four major trade barriers suffered by China's communication equipment industry and the comprehensive coping strategies.Then,in the industry analysis section,this dissertation illustrate the internal and external development of China's communication equipment industry,as well as the major enterprises in the industry(Huawei,ZTE,Lenovo).After that,this dissertation analyses each cases,and summarizes the lessons and experience of China's communication equipment industry in response to trade barriers.Finally,combining with the five stages of the internationalization process,this dissertation summarizes the general strategies of China's communication equipment enterprises to deal with the main trade barriers from the dynamic perspective.Through the analysis of the four major trade barriers suffered by China's communications equipment industry,this dissertation finds that many countries have abused trade terms,and their legal settings have been contrary to the purposes and principles of WTO-related agreements.At the same time,the review procedures in many countries are unreasonable and the review processes are not transparent.However,due to the negative attitude of responding to complaints,weak awareness of intellectual property rights of the majority of enterprises in the industry,the technology gap and imitation time lag,and the low added value of export products,China's communications equipment industry is constantly subject to international trade barriers.Therefore,China's communication equipment enterprises should be familiar with international trade regulations and response procedures,and fully understand the local laws and market rules of the countries where the enterprises are located.In the process of responding to the lawsuit,enterprises should actively respond to the lawsuit,unite with other enterprises,hire lawyers with professional skills,and try to require each trial result to be carried out in an open and transparent environment.Internally,enterprises should carry out technology innovation,strengthen technical exchanges with outstanding enterprises in the industry,actively participate in the formulation of industry technical standards,and increase the "technology power" of enterprises.At the same time,it is necessary to deepen the intellectual property strategy,enhance the awareness of intellectual property rights of enterprises,optimize the structure of intellectual property talents,improve the warning mechanism of patent applications,and establish awareness of intellectual property protection.Finally,based on the five stages of internationalization,China's communication equipment enterprises should respond to international trade barriers in a dynamic and comprehensive manner according to the characteristics of trade barriers suffered at each stage.
