Setting-up Of Endogenous TBT And Establishment Of China's Technical Standards

In the past few years,China has suffered huge losses from TBT. TBT has become one of the major exporting obstacles ahead of anti-dumping. The latter affected about 1% of total exports each year while the former affected 25%. That is a loss of about USD 45 to50 billion each year because of TBT, which relates to more than two thirds of China's export-oriented enterprises and two fifths of export products. Reasons for this huge loss mostly lie in the background that many China's commodities can not meet the much stricter technical and quarantine standards held by foreign countries. In order to solve this very issue, i.e. to break through the TBT, and at the meantime to increase trade volume, the problem of technical standard must be solved.The trend of the economic development indicates that the key point of setting the Endogenous TBT is technical standard. In order to prompt the grand special plans of technical standards as well as implementing the national experimental unit, it's very significant to know how TBT comes into being. And it also makes sense to know the effects technical standards will have on technology trade.In fact, it is the usual way for countries to set up and improve protective systems of technical trade to protect the domestic markets as well as the development of concerned industries. The WTO/TBT agreements also accept the rationality and necessity of technical measures to trade, and allow the countries to set technical standards different from other countries according to their own characteristics and consumer's habits.Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze the setting of Endogenous TBT and Technical standard in China both theoretically and practically. The paper is divided into four parts. Part one, it probes into the theory exploration on TBT, including the definition, connotation and development trend of TBT. The effect and mechanism of TBT is embodied through the standard model. Part two, the author tries to discuss the principles and the ways of setting Endogenous Technique Barrier based on the influence of TBT on our international trade, the establishment of Endogenous Technical Barriers to Trade and real condition in China. Part Three firstly summarizes the status quo as well as the problems of technical stands in China, and then attempts to find out ways to set china's own technical standards. Finally, Part Four analyzes the Chinese technical standard strategy, and puts forward the countermeasures, which provide a possible approach to meet the need of catching up with the international standards.
