China US Trade War

 

According to U.S. media analysis, some analysts gave an alternative interpretation of the impact of tariff increases across the Pacific. They believe that trade tensions between the US and China could benefit other Asian economies and markets.

Main Content

The highly interconnected nature of Asian supply chains has led to a loss-free situation in Asia this year. If China’s exports suffer, many companies supplying related parts will suffer.

 

But considering that tariffs have led to higher prices for some Chinese goods imported by the United States, some researchers believe that countries exporting similar products may ultimately benefit as American buyers look for alternative suppliers. Meanwhile Economists of Bank of America Merrill Lynch believe that Taiwan, Vietnam and South Korea will be the biggest beneficiaries because their export situation is similar to that of China.

 

In addition, some Asian economies will benefit from the redeployment of investments by companies operating in China. According to a survey released last week by the American Chamber of Commerce in South China, about 70% of companies are considering moving some or all of their manufacturing operations out of China. Most companies think Southeast Asia is the first choice.

 

Authority Prediction

Of course, there are also some problems facing the Southeast Asian market such as the potential impact of interest rate increase in the United States and the slowdown of China’s economy. These effects vary from industries or countries. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) thinks technology companies in Vietnam and Malaysia may win, while Thailand’s status as a car parts producer may benefit the industry.

 

Steven Friedman and Chi Low, senior economists at BNP Paribas, said low-end imports of footwear, toys and textiles could switch to Vietnam, India, Bangladesh and Indonesia, while electronics and machinery could be imported from Mexico, Turkey and South Korea.

 

So far, the downturn in Asian stock markets does not seem to reflect the unexpected gains of this restructuring of trade relations. One reason may be that there is no way to tell which companies will ultimately benefit. For example:

 

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), points out that some multinational companies, such as Sony Co., SNE and Panasonic Co., 6752.TO operating in Malaysia, as well as Samsung Electronics Co., 005930.SE and Intel Co., INTC operating in Vietnam, already operate locally. A firm foothold can help allocate resources freely, but local companies can not do so.

To explore the added value of retail from the perspective of experience will be the focus of new retailers. Offline will extend from product experience to service experience including visual, selection, payment, interaction and so on. As online, through social media, provide consumers with more entertainment and social information value-added services.

 

  • Use all means to improve efficiency in all directions.

The essence of new retail is efficiency revolution. The “efficiency” we stated here is not only the operational efficiency, but also it is the efficiency of user competition. The better way to occupy the user’s cognition is to guide the consumer demand through the transmission of brand culture, value proposition, lifestyle and so on, and to influence the consumer decision-making invisibly.

About Foreign Trade Terms

Nowadays, the most of companies from different countries have joined in international trade action (namely Foreign trade). However, related foreign trade business there are a lot of expertise and tricks we may apply during business negotiation to realize successful deal with foreigner buyers. As often, the most of businessman and merchants do not consider about utilization of foreign trade terms and only focus on lowering price of products for their oversea customers. So the most of time negotiation of business will be kind of deadlock. So how to break the deadlock of negotiation is very important for every representative of foreign trade no matter you work in import and export companies or in factories. Hereby, according to main foreign trade terms FOB, CRF and CIF, let us know how change the impasse to good opportunity.

Basic terms to know

FOB, Free on Board which means there is duty pass from sellers to buyers when the sellers deliver the goods to specified port of shipment and goods on the board of vessel. Meanwhile, as sellers, they do not need to pay for related fees such as freight fee, fee of chartering space and so on.

 

CFR, Cost and Freight which means the sellers have to pay freight fee for this batch of goods which the buyers purchase and others are as same as FOB term. Well, this is quite same expecting freight fee by the sellers.

 

CIF, Cost, Insurance and Freight which means the sellers are in charge of paying about Freight fee, Insurance fee for this batch of goods. Meanwhile, the risk of cargo loss is bear by the buyers after the cargo on the board of vessel.

How to use these terms for negotiation

These three of terms are very simple and popular for the foreign trade enterprises in every countries because of its easy process and low risk. As often the factory always advertise own by its quality of products, good service after sale, advanced technology for producing, and large scale of workshops and factories and so on. However, they forget to apply these foreign trade terms skillfully. Because even of your products are good and service are professional, as oversea buyers they seldom know about your situation as not domestic factories. Sometimes they will cancel the order for only a little bit profit and benefits; or they will ignore your these advantages of factories as pity freight fee adding into their cost.

 

According to my opinion and experience, I suggest that sometimes you may offer oversea buyers extra a bit benefits such as FOB term changing to CFR term, meanwhile you keep the quotation as same as you send as initial one. It means you try to attract the buyers by freight fee or an insurance fee. This is really good job after you try often.
