ounts to $70 billion, of which $58.6 billion from Sino-US trade. With its expanding of trade surplus, its eic rapid growth tinues for decades. At the same time, ese factories are famous for dumping cheap goods from advantages of its low-cost bors and poor enviro standard. After all, a is developing, much faster than EU, US, Japan or any other major power of the world. There is no doubt that a is regaining its strength and will be a major eic power in the 21st tury.
What will a bring to the globalization of ey? Even for a try of 1.2 billion popution and 960 square kilometers, there is no unlimited supply of cheap bor or unlimited tolerance of enviro pollution. However, the demand of the 1.2 billion popution market in a fast-growing ey could be the powerful engine of the global ey in human history. Some of ese key officials and schors has turo pro-deficit attitude on this debate and more and more people realize that a has no responsibility to supply the world with cheap goods while the living standard of ese people are below average level. While those booming ese panies have shown their appetites for raw materials on the global market, the extravagance of ese wealthy family in cities has given hopes to global manufacturers.
Most of the pressure to grow imports es from a’s trade partners, especially US and Japan. A strong wind calling for the revaluation of RMB has been blowing sihe beginning of 2003, and some even criticize a as an exporter of deftion. At the same time, huge amounts of hot money flow into a despite capital trols that strictly limit money flows into this try. ese officials have openly refused to revaluate RMB under pressure and some even say that its a spiracy to sacrifice a’s ey without bringing bes to the global ey. But those strong words against the revaluation of RMB were more or less for internal politics. The goverhen began to boost the imports to ease the pressure on the currency.
Domestically, there are more and more criticisms against the stimuting-export policies, especially the tax reimbursement policy. The tax reimbursement to exporters has aggravated the fiscal deficit of the tral gover. The gover has paid 125 billion RMB and 115 billion RMB for tax reimbursement. This appropriation was far from the amount incurred every year and up to the end of 2003, the tax reimbursement in arrears reached to 340 billion RMB ($41.06 billion). The profit margin rates of many exporters are below the reimbursement rate. As the default of payment accumuted year-by-year, some exporters have fallen into liquidity problem while waiting for the payment of tax reimbursement in arrears.
So a should not be afraid to bee red in trade, like it has during many periods of greatness. If the dragon bees be red for years or even decades, the most foreseeable sequence is that RMB will be an iional currency. To support an iional currency, a should build ‘a stable macroeiviro, an effit market meism and a healthy banking system’ as ese Premier Wen Jiabao mentioned as the preditions for a revaluation of RMB. It is easy to say what’s good but it is difficult to identify the problems and solve them. When the growth is still enough to sustain the system, who will be brave enough to cut the mess behind the rise? a should not be afraid to bee red again.
