Blame Abe for worsening trade

By Xu Changwen (China Daily) Updated: 2013-10-30 06:58

However, although China has seen growth in its exports to South Korea in recent years, it continues to register a trade deficit with South Korea. This rose from about $70 billion in 2010 to some $80 billion in 2012, and the deficit has already hit $57.8 billion in the first eight months this year. It is predicted the annual figure will possibly reach $90 billion. Therefore, South Korea needs to further open up its market and expand its imports from China, so as to strike a balance in bilateral trade and achieve sustained economic and trade development.

Currently the second-largest trading-nation partner of China, Japan will not resign itself to becoming a less significant player in the Chinese market. Japanese companies have expanded their efforts to develop the Chinese market since this year, including raising their research and development inputs and developing products tailored to Chinese consumers.

As Japanese media have pointed out, enhanced economic and trade cooperation between China and Japan will help ease the already strained relations. The Japanese government should render strategic support for the Japanese companies that have business operations in China, and facilitate the trilateral free trade talks between China, Japan and South Korea.

Even so, it will be just a matter of time before South Korea overtakes Japan to become China's second-largest trading partner in terms of trade volume by country. An important reason for this is China's imports from South Korea have grown much faster than its imports from Japan in recent years.

Statistics show that in 2010, China's imports from Japan totaled $176.71 billion and those from South Korea $138.4 billion. The gap narrowed to around $9 billion in 2012, and in the first eight months of this year, China has already spent $118.51 billion on imports from South Korea, a year-on-year increase of 12.3 percent, while it has spent $104.86 billion on imports from Japan, a 12.7 percent decrease from a year ago.

To a great extent, this is a result of the decreasing investment by Japanese companies in China. According to the Japan External Trade Organization, or JETRO, the first half of this year witnessed a year-on-year decrease of 31.2 percent in Japanese investment in China. This will not only affect Sino-Japanese economic and trade cooperation but also undermine Japan's economic recovery. For the sake of its economy, it's high time for Abe to take measures to improve Japan's ties with China.
