Many American politicians claim that cheap products imported from China have squeezed many US citizens out of jobs, but industry analysts say the truth may be just the opposite.
According to a recent research, Chinese workers contributed only a small amount to China's huge trade surplus with the United States, meaning that it is US companies and consumers that have benefited the most from inexpensive Chinese labor and goods.
Professor Xing, will
- use the iPhone trade as a case to illustrate the distortion of trade statistics on the Sino-US trade imbalance and the ineffectiveness of the yuan's appreciation on the trade balance.
- give a general overview about processing trade and its relations with China' bilateral trade balances with East Asia and G-7 countries.
- emphasize the triangle trade of East Asia-China-US/EU, developed by production networks in East Asia.
