The Influence Of Diaoyu Island Issue On Textile Trade Between China And Japan

With the increasing warming of the Diaoyu Islands issue, trade and trade between China and Japan have also been affected.

On September 17th and 18, two days ago, some of the famous clothing enterprises in Japan were temporarily suspended from retail outlets in China.

And for day alone,

Processing enterprises, they also began to worry about the further development of the Diaoyu Islands incident, whether it will have an impact on its exports.

In the short term, the trade relationship between Chinese and Japanese textiles and clothing will not be strongly shocked, said Dr. Zhou, deputy director of the Institute of foreign investment and cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce.

For the Chinese side, more than 70% of Japanese textile and apparel imports come from China, and Japanese buyers find it difficult to find the same production and processing sites in a relatively short time, so they still have strong dependence on Chinese processing manufacturers.

For Japan, although its investment and sales in China may slow down, the attractiveness of China's clothing domestic demand market also makes it difficult for Japanese investors to give up.

Factory orders are stable but long-term anxiety.

According to the reporter's observation, in the textile and clothing field, Japanese businessmen, Chinese traders and processing enterprises, the three party industry, at present, China's processing enterprises show the most obvious anxiety.

Some textile and garment processing factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang indicated that although the Japanese market's orders were not affected, no one could predict the situation when delivery was made.

Once the situation changes, or the implementation of economic sanctions at the government level, it is likely to affect normal trade dealings.

The current mentality of some garment factories is to finish the orders of Japanese merchants on hand first.

Zhou Yuenan, a twenty business manager of Tianjin new textiles import and Export Corporation, told reporters: "as a foreign trade enterprise, our own business has not been greatly affected. However, some of the OEM enterprises that cooperate with us have shown concern.

They worry that once the situation changes, clothing has already been made, but there will be difficulties in receiving money.

So these factories are also hesitant to pick up orders from Japanese businessmen.

At present, the delivery of Japanese exports has become a part of garment processing enterprises.

"I think the problem should be seen in stages," he said.

First of all, any commercial behavior must abide by the contract cycle.

In the short term, the Diaoyu Islands incident will not have much impact on the current Sino Japanese textile and clothing trade.

Because contracts signed have to be carried out in accordance with commercial practice.

In the long run, the impact of the future depends on whether the government will impose economic sanctions and whether economic sanctions will be concentrated in the textile and garment areas of bilateral trade. "

Compared with the nervousness of processing enterprises, the attitude of textile and garment traders is somewhat calm.

Jiangsu Datang International Trade Co., Ltd. is an outdoor sportswear export business, and general manager Xu Xu is not worried about the impact on Japan's exports.

He told reporters that the company's exports to Japan are relatively stable, and there has been no sharp fluctuations in orders.

He believes that the current political situation will not largely affect the export of the Japanese market.

Even if the government takes economic sanctions against Japan in the future, it may also focus on heavy industrial products, with limited impact on textile trade.

Xu Xu said, "step by step, even if we impose economic sanctions on textiles, it will be gradual.

It is impossible to introduce sanctions today, and we will ban exports of all kinds of textile and clothing tomorrow.

Foreign businessmen, such as Xu Xu, are not so few who are cool headed.

Foreign trade enterprises with long-term cooperation with Japanese enterprises believe that political situation and economic and trade are still two levels of things. Therefore, there is no need to be too confused at present.

"It's hard for Japanese customers to get it done. If we lose some big customers in the Diaoyu Islands incident, the losses we can bear are hard to come by.

At present, Japanese merchants have orders, we will continue to follow. "

A merchandiser of a foreign trade enterprise said.

Careful analysis, at present, China is an important textile and clothing procurement base in Japan.

Assuming that economic sanctions will focus on trade, it is possible for Japan to turn some of its orders into re export trade.

As a result, Japanese buyers will bear higher prices.

Another possibility is that they continue to increase their import and export of textiles and clothing from Southeast Asia. The question is whether the level of textile and clothing manufacturing in these countries can be compared with that of China.

"Of course, the premise of these orders pfer depends on whether the government will completely ban exports to Japan.

From the current situation, textile export garment enterprises should not abandon the Japanese market completely. They can take orders from some Japanese businessmen and try to develop new markets to avoid risks.

After all, not putting eggs in the same basket can effectively reduce the risk of export market. "

Careful.

China's market attractiveness is hard to replace

Insiders pointed out that, compared with the export of Chinese products to Japan, the warming of the Diaoyu Islands event may have a greater impact on the sales of Japanese products in China.

It is understood that Tianjin new textile import and Export Co., Ltd. will hold a Japanese fabric introduction every year, and Zhou Yuenan, who is responsible for the early liaison matters, confessed to reporters: "the first two days, when we contacted the domestic garment enterprises, they were half joking to say that they dare not buy Japanese fabrics, only when consumers saw" made in Japan ", they would be involved in their clothing sales.

In the light of the current situation, Japanese enterprises' investment in China may be more concerned about the following aspects: first, the personal safety of employees in China; two, whether the recruitment situation will be affected; and the three is whether the supply of supporting facilities can be guaranteed.

At a time when the situation is uncertain, Japanese companies eager to expand the Chinese market may have to think more carefully.

And in textile

In the field, their investment enthusiasm seems to have not plummeted.

Zhou Yuenan will liaise with Japanese businessmen every week. Besides business negotiations, he will also exchange the current market situation.

She told reporters that Japanese businessmen were basically evasive about the Diaoyu Islands incident. But when it comes to investing in the Chinese market, they are not showing any signs of retreat at the moment, and they all confirm that they will take part in the Intertextile fabric exhibition held in Shanghai in October this year.
