Plastic machinery industry to avoid a trade war spread?

In March 23rd Beijing time, the United States government signed and issued a decree of 25% and 10% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum products and tariffs on imports of China's imports of $60 billion. The decree was issued after the world major stock markets plunged Starving people fill the land., the people exclaimed, a trade war is coming. However, according to the relevant media in the United States, the US Treasury Secretary, after communication with the Chinese responsible person on the 24 day, said he was cautious and optimistic about the agreement between China and the United States in reaching a trade agreement. For a while, people talked about it as if the trade dispute between China and the United States had been settled through private consultation, and the trade war seemed to be unable to fight.

Atmosphere, plastic industry to avoid a trade war spread?

China's Foreign Ministry spokesman said China is willing to use negotiations to resolve disputes, but the negotiations must be based on equality and mutual respect. Even if a trade war is imposed on China, China is not afraid to hide, and has the strength and ability to win the trade war.

If the two countries really trade war, much impact on China's machine industry have?

The decrees signed by the US government are aimed at China's steel industry and the aluminum industry, and the plastic industry does not involve clause 301 (a bill that the United States can take unilaterally when the United States believes that other countries are damaging US interests in trade). At present, the influence of American trade laws of plastic machinery industry is not big. However, plastic industry cannot sleep without any anxiety. Because the export in machinery industry direction, the United States accounted for a large proportion. Related enterprises should be vigilant in peace, not because of the not to harbor luck.

According to statistical data, 21180 plastics machinery imported from China in 2017 were imported from Japan, Europe and South Korea. The number of plastic machinery exported to China was very small; 858109 export plastic machinery were exported to the United States, India, Malaysia and Bangladesh, which exported to the United States. The number of machines is about 300 thousand, accounting for more than 1/3 of the export proportion of China's plastic machines, and the export products are mainly 3D printers, accounting for more than 85% of the proportion of export plastic machines. These data shows that the United States is a big market for Chinese plastic machinery industry export.

Even if the current trade protection measures in the United States do not involve plastic machinery industry, the plastic machinery industry should take relevant measures to prepare for the rainy day.

The related enterprises in the plastic machine industry should improve the quality of the products and the level of science and technology, expand the share of the American market, and widen the technical gap between the export of American products and other countries. The US market is firmly occupied by the advantage of technology, and the situation of the American plastic machine market can not be separated from the Chinese products. The United States government is afraid to make the protection measures against the plastic machine industry, and then does not dare to launch the policy of damaging the Chinese plastic machine enterprises.

When the technical advantages are not obvious, the plastic machine enterprises should actively broaden the export direction, find the alternative countries for export, and reduce the proportion of the American market in the export share. China plastic machinery exports direction last year in addition to the United States, mainly in Southeast Asia and South Asian countries. Plastic machinery enterprises should actively expand export channels, increase the export proportion of European countries and East Asian countries, and carry out business in South American countries. By broadening the direction of exports and reducing the proportion of exports to the United States, even in the future, the United States will be able to avoid losses due to the introduction of measures aimed at plastic enterprises.

It is understood that China and the United States have launched consultations on trade issues, and the future trend of trade war remains to be seen. If there is a real trade war between China and the United States, in the deepening of globalization today, all industries will be affected by or large or small, and the plastic machine industry will not be exceptional. Prepare early, reduce or even avoid the influence, is the plastic enterprises face should do when a trade war.
