Studies Of China's Economic And Trade Cooperation With Russia In The New Era

With the lack of forest resources, forest industries in China are turning from the single constraint of market to the dual constraints of resources and market. To break through these constraints, China have to vigorously develop international cooperation in forestry, participate in the forest resources distribution of the international market, in which the economic and trade cooperation with Russia in forestry is much more important. This dissertation analyzes and assesses several aspects of economic and trade cooperation between China and Russia forestry in the new historical period. The core topic is the development of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation in forestry in the new era.As economic globalization is the obvious trend of world economic development, so strengthening the Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation, especially bilateral economic and trade cooperation in forestry, is the common view. Since the 1990s, Sino-Russian relations have continually developed. After the year of 2000, especially since 2006, the Sino-Russian relationship gets into a new-overall development stage. Whether "The Year of Russia in China" in 2006, or "The Year of China in Russia" in 2007, will become the important corroboration of Sino-Russian relations.After more than 10 years' efforts, both China and Russia in the economic and trade aspects of forestry have established a certain cooperative foundation, and in forest products trade, investment, technology and labor cooperation have achieved certain achievements. But we should realize that the Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation in forestry from the point of quality and scale is still unsatisfactory, and there are still many pressing issues: the small trade size, the low level, the irrational structure, the obsolete concepts, even without establishing the trade order in line with international practice. Under this circumstance, this dissertation argues that only through the comprehensive, systematic analysis of the economic and trade cooperation in forestry between China and Russia, we can find out ways to solve the problems and make it sustainable development effectively to achieve "win-win".Under the guidance of Marxism, Deng Xiaoping's Theory on the development of China's foreign trade and economic cooperation, this dissertation uses economics and international trade theory to make the comparative analysis of the supply and demand situation of the Sino-Russian forest products, forest products foreign trade, and factor endowment. Through comprehensive evaluation of related factors in the Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation in forestry, this dissertation concludes: the present state of Sino-Russian forestry development determines the means of internationalization of the two countries' forest industry, i.e. to take part in the international trade of forest products, which enables not only to importthe necessary technology, equipment, and the necessary forest products to develop the forest industry, but also to export its advantageous products so as to enhance internationally competitive capacity of their own forest products. Both China and Russia in forestry have strong complementarities in accord with the resource allocation rules in the international forestry cooperation. The constraint of resources is the major obstacle of China's industrial development in forestry. Only through international trade and the forest products import, it will alleviate domestic timber supply and demand imbalance contradictions. Although Russia has abundant forest resources, at the same time, the labor is not enough, thus Russia depends largely on foreign Countries in the high-machining wood. However, China's high-value-added forest products, such as furniture in Russia, have certain market, and strengthening economic and trade cooperation with China is also the need of Russia's forestry development. According to the above analysis, this dissertation proposed proposals to further promote economic and trade cooperation in forestry between China and Russia, i.e. to establish a good trade order, to build the Distribution Park of Sino-Russian economy and trade in forestry, to promote the trade and investment integration of Sino-Russian forest products, to construct the information platform of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation in forestry, to achieve the coordinated development between Sino-Russian trade in forest products and the environment, to correctly grasp the developing trend of Sino-Russia economic and trade cooperation in forestry. In short, the overall developing trend of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation in forestry is good, but with the constant change of the international market situation, new problems will emerge and will be ups and downs in Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation in forestry forward.
