The Study Of New Non-Tariff Barriers And China Textile Export

This thesis mainly explores some frequently used non-tariff barriers in current international trade, and also the influence of these non-tariff barriers on China textile exportation, and then points out the inevitability of the frequent suffering of non-tariff barrier of our textile industry after a detailed analysis, and also due to it is flexible in operating and violating none of WTO rules, non-tariff barrier enjoys widely popularity with the trade administration bureau of all countries, and China textile industry suffers greatly from this.The thesis mainly constitutes of three parts.Part one, this thesis will make a review of the background of the forming of non-tariff barrier, and explain the current situation and characteristics of non-tariff barrier. Due to the non-tariff barrier is flexible, discriminatory and easily handled, non-tariff becomes the most frequently used trade management means. However, with the establishment of WTO, cancelling of quantitative limitation becomes a key mission addressing the trade management bureau of all countries, and then new non-tariff barrier emerges under such kind of situation. New non-tariff barrier mainly divides into technical barrier and social barrier; the former set all kinds of demands mainly on the product itself in the purpose of protecting the consumers, especially the popular green barrier, which rightly caters to environmental protection social need; the latter mainly have themselves based on the stipulations on social security, labors'rights and labor standard, etc. of international treaties. Compared with traditional non-tariff barrier, new non-tariff barrier is more complicated and hidden, covers larger area and is more rational and legal in form, which performs within the permission range of WTO's stipulations, making great trouble for our exporting firms.Part two mainly explains the general situation of our textile industry and its position in China economy. Textile industry has been always an important part of China economy, especially the textile and clothing exportation trade, which contribute a lot to China economic flourishing. Part three is the most important part. The origin, characteristics and influence to our exportation of social and technical barrier are expounded in chapter 3. In chapter 4, the disadvantage of textile and clothing exportation quota of China is analyzed through model analysis of the effects on the both parties of the trade, which includes reallocate effects, consuming effects, quota benefits and production effects; 3 supply-demand models are used in the analysis of the economic effects of technical barrier.Through the above analysis, the setup of all kinds non-tariff seriously impedes the exportation of China textile industry. Chapter 5 elaborates on the inevitability why our country suffers non-tariff barrier. For a long time, China textile industry developed in an extensive form: the added value is low, the state of arts is low, and the products lack initiative; the firms mainly produce by processing imported and supplied materials, or OEM, and the exportation mainly aims at America and Europe. While the international trade has long been dominated by developed countries, once their economy suffers from any problem, they will uphold protectionism, and non-tariff barrier using will be inevitable.Finally, the last part makes a discussion on the possible measures our firms can take based on the analysis of the reason why China suffers from non-tariff barrier, pointing out that our textile export firms should not assume fluke mind, expecting the counterpart will cut barrier, but to adapt to the trend by promoting one's own strength. Moreover, the govern should also response to the situation actively, it should familiarize itself with WTO rules and learn from other countries'experience, establishing some non-tariff barrier to protect domestic industry, this is the advice drawn from the model analysis in charpter 4 and also the innovative points of this thesis.The main creative point in the thesis is:Charpter 4 makes use of supply displacement model and demand displacement model to analyze the mutual influence between the product-import country and the product-export country.
