The internet is a widely used medium which has become within the reach of most common people even in countries which were not considered very much advanced technically hitherto. This has given a very powerful and useful tool in the hands of companies and individuals interested in carrying out wholesale multinational purchasing and global sourcing of goods and services. The internet is a technology which has literally connected the world in the form of a network which is endless in its reach and expanse and hence is very effective tool which can be used for wholesale trading of items, global sourcing of goods and services, or carrying out multinational purchasing by buying from far off regions in the hope of getting good deals.

China’s global presence is felt distinctly in international trade. China business is gaining popularity in import-export business. Tourism industry of China is also developing on a major scale. Both, inbound and outbound Chinese tourism are gaining steadfast recognition. Now with a booming economy many Chinese are financially secure. They now want to tour the world and see many places like never before. The middle class public has become top business class citizens in a few years time, thanks to global sourcing. Chinese citizens are flocking down in large numbers to foreign countries. According to sources, the numbers are going to increase three folds within a span of five years. The actual number of tourists from China Business to Australia has increased by 20 percent. This is the direct result of the flourishing Chinese market in the international trade. Apart from international trade and commerce, even the infrastructure of China is being improved to its newfound economic status.

The European union has taken 12 anti-dumping actions against China in the past 12 months, in industries from preserved mandarins to energy-saving light bulbs, after concluding that firms were selling goods for less than the cost of making them.

Cheng Yongru, director of the ministry’s Bureau of Fair Trade for Imports and Exports, said the EU should accept China’s prowess as a function of the international division of labour.

“EU companies should adjust their mindsets to adapt to the globalisation trend. At the current stage of globalisation, China’s advantages are in processing, low-end manufacturing and labour-intensive sectors,” he said.

“The EU should realise this and work to improve their competitiveness in high-tech, the high end and in service sectors, where they enjoy more advantages,” Cheng said on the sidelines of an investment conference in southern Xiamen.

EU trade chief Peter Mandelson, due to visit China Sept. 24-27, has long urged China to open up its markets to foreign goods and investments to counter calls in Europe for a tougher line against China and its soaring trade surplus.

Cheng was speaking a day after sources familiar with the matter said the 27-member EU was likely to keep in place anti-dumping duties on shoes imported from China and Vietnam while Brussels considers calls to renew them formally.

The levies, which had been due to lapse in October, were set to extend into 2009, the sources said [ID:nL870687].

Leading shoe manufacturers on Tuesday also expressed their growing concern about “the abuse of anti-dumping measures” in the EU and urged the bloc not to keep the shoe duties in place.

“The EU is shooting itself in the foot if it pretends that disrupting international supply chains benefits consumers, innovation and competitiveness,” said Alberto Bichi, head of the Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry which includes companies such as Adidas (ADSG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Puma (PUMG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).

Cheng said the EU was also backsliding on according individual Chinese companies market economy treatment, a designation that helps shield them from anti-dumping actions.

The EU has not granted China market economy status on a national level, arguing the state still plays too big a role in the economy.

-Chinese government and WTO

On its part the Chinese Government is trying hard to step-up import and exports by entering WTO. So, the purchase from China has become simpler and more and more companies are approaching the Chinese market for multinational purchasing. Global sourcing of products and services from China has seen growth because of the cheap labor and production costs. Chinese homegrown companies are entering the international market through global sourcing and the demand for Chinese products from every corner of the world is bringing profit to these companies.

Some of the products from China that has lured the world are food and beverages, minerals and energy, wine products, IT and communications products, processed food etc. Purchase from China is mainly made on these products and many more companies want to do multinational purchasing of these goods. Those who purchase these products find them cheap when compared to the goods available in the international market and hence through global sourcing they are placing orders for more and more goods to make more profit.

-Advantages of multinational purchasing

The main advantage of multinational purchasing of goods from China is that the small manufacturers who involve themselves in this business get exposure in export and import industry. Also, through global sourcing they can approach more buyers and hence can also make good deals. The young generation of China heavily relies on the online business industry and the wholesale purchase of products from China.

Before entering the Chinese market, one should be aware that the market is very big and it may be impossible to contact every manufacturer of the same field. But, with some study they can choose the manufacturers to make purchase from China. Import and export made through global sourcing with the help of B2B market is also time saving and proved to be cost effective. Multinational purchasing of Chinese goods should be done with care as sometimes the products bought do not meet the expected standard. If the products are sold at cheaper rates, then the problem with quality of the goods may occur. So, the buyers should concentrate on buying quality products at a competitive price.

Halida Miljani, head of the Indonesian delegation, endorsed the “open and honest” discussion between the two parties, adding that as a consumer herself, she considered Chinese foods were of a “very good quality”. For its part, the AQSIQ said China “will positively consider” lifting the temporary suspension of Indonesian aquatic products after evaluation of the country’s measures to improve the safety and sanitary conditions of such exports to China. A memorandum of understanding is expected to be finalized and signed during the China ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine next month in Nanning, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Furthermore, both sides agreed to set up a long-term cooperation mechanism to properly handle similar matters on the safety of food imports and exports.

Indonesia’s Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) issued two separate warning letters on Chinese food products in late July and early August on so-called “formaldehyde contaminated” sweets and toothpaste imported from China. According to the BPOM, seven of 39 Chinese products tested positive in July for formaldehyde. The products were seized by Indonesian authorities during raids on food stores, creating panic among local Chinese businesses. On August 2, the agency issued another public warning and banned a further 42 brands of Chinese candy for the same reason. In another development, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu yesterday contested a Washington Post report saying China pushed shoddy foods to Indonesia.

The Washington Post on Wednesday quoted an official with Indonesia’s food and drug safety agency as saying China suggested Indonesia lower its safety standards. The story also accused China of taking advantage of its aid and investment to push shoddy foods and inferior standards on poor countries. “A certain report in the Washington Post was sheer fabrication,” Jiang said. According to Jiang, a large Indonesian government delegation arrived in Beijing on Wednesday and had talks with Chinese food safety authorities. The Indonesian side has denied the Washington Post report, Jiang said. “The exports from and imports to China all abide by Chinese laws, regulations and quality standards, as well as rules in exporting regions,” she said. “It is discriminatory to have different export quality standards based on the strength of trade partners, which China never does and opposes any other country doing.”

-International Trade- Internet based product selection

The present system for international trade with a computer and internet requires you to possess an internet connected computer. Importers will visit vendors’ websites; browse specifications for chosen products. Once done, the products of required specifications can be selected and an order form can be generated for just the selected products of the already selected specification. Before you complete the international trade order, the order can be checked and/or corrected for details of product name, quantity, rate and total price. The order can be cancelled if it is unsatisfactory for any reason. Similarly, confirming it requires importers’ information like name, company’s name contact and shipping addresses, insurance, payment details etc.

-Effect of International trade with China on US

Large scale imports through international trade from China have replaced domestic production and consequently cost close to a million jobs. But in stark contrast, imports from international trade, both in, services and goods has silently contributed in terms of reduced overheads which fact is unfortunately not highlighted. On the positive side, international trade exposes domestic firms to cut-throat competition and forces companies to cut down on premiums they charged for years.

Imports from China aren’t limited to labor-intensive sectors but include high-tech sectors, like office automation, telecommunications and electrical appliances besides household machinery. Statistics prove this point; capital goods surpass import of consumer goods.

As there are voices rising in concern for the domestic players, an expert in international trade and CEO of Five Rivers, Tom Hopson told the Congress that high end electronics from China have definitely wrecked havoc in US which is a fact even ITC agreed that surge of international trade in these items from China had marred fortunes of many US companies, and went on to impose higher duties.

International trade with China is an old trend if you remember Marco Polo and the Silk route the Chinese had established. International trade has taken a full circle and is firmly established as an integral for both US and China. US politicians endorse the international trade with China and believe that it could benefit America. Trade with China has earned the distinction of being known as extremely lucrative of international trades.
