In the economic crisis, Chinese auto parts exports are frequently encountering anti-dumping investigations abroad. In addition to the much-anticipated Sino-U.S. tyre special protection case and the friction between the European Union and China in the export of aluminum alloy car wheels (hereinafter referred to as aluminum wheels), the anti-dumping investigation cases of auto parts exported to China by India and Russia, etc. China's auto parts industry has experienced unprecedented pressure in the international market.
Although these anti-dumping cases have "trade protectionism" elements, they also reflect the current major problems in China's auto parts production: Because products win at low prices and do not possess core competitiveness, it is easy to bury explosives for overseas trade barriers. The "detonator."
Disguised protectionism?
Under the influence of the economic crisis, many countries have begun to pay more attention to anti-dumping lawsuits against Chinese companies in order to protect their auto industry. The allegations in these lawsuits are nothing more than "China's export of parts and components will cause damage to local related industries," thereby threatening local employment.
Regarding the existence of de facto "dumping" in domestic component exports, Li Xiaoqing, secretary general of the Wheel Committee of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, believes that multinational car companies are adopting the policy of spare parts global procurement, and many auto parts and components in the world are trying to keep up with the low price of China. Parts of the market rushed to fight, some foreign manufacturers have to fight the "anti-dumping" banner "trade protectionism" in order to obtain living space.
“As an example of the anti-dumping case of aluminum wheels, the six companies represented by the European Association have no official identities, so we are not even aware of who is the plaintiff.†Li Xiaoqing said with excitement.
This kind of trade protection has a huge impact on Chinese manufacturers. Taking aluminum wheels as an example, from July 2008 to June 2009, China exported approximately 27 billion U.S. dollars worth of aluminum wheels to the EU-27 countries. Once the anti-dumping measures are implemented, China's export aluminum wheel enterprises will suffer major losses.
The breakthrough of the component exports
People in the industry believe that due to the rapid growth of China's product exports and the formation of strong competition for foreign markets, it is easy to trigger "anti-dumping." However, behind this, China's auto parts industry itself also deserves our deep thinking.
It is understood that many domestic auto parts exports are barriers to entry and material-intensive, labor-intensive products with low technological content, such as wheels, brake discs, and windshields. The technical content and added value of products are low, and they are lacking. The core technology has led to a serious and unreasonable structure of export products of auto parts. The production companies are also fighting each Other and the vicious competition is serious.
In the interview, an automotive industry expert told reporters that the low gold content of domestic companies’ product brands also restricted the growth of our auto parts industry’s exports. Due to the low quality and technical level, more than 80% of China's auto parts exports still remain in the maintenance market, and only a few enter the global market.
In the face of overseas anti-dumping big sticks and various drawbacks of the Chinese auto parts industry itself, Jian Jianhua, deputy secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, pointed out that the Chinese auto industry, especially the parts and components industry, must establish a place in the world market. Technological innovation.
