Trade Reform• “Double Air Lock”
• State monopoly of foreign trade• Inconvertible RMB
• The reform began with an urgent attempt to increase and diversify sources of foreign exchange.
• The first step in opening came in 1978 when Hong Kong businesses were allowed to sign “export-processing” (EP) contracts with Chinese firms in the Pearl River Delta.
• Four Special Economic Zones (SEZ) were set up in Guangdong and Fujian.• Liberalizing the Foreign-Trade System
• Devaluation of RMB• De-monopolize trade• Creation of tariff and nontariff Barriers• Import substitution and export promotion

Toward An Open Economy• China formally applied to rejoin the GATT (General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs,
the forerunner of WTO) in 1986. • On Dec 11 of 2001, China finally joined WTO (which was created during the Uruguay
Round negotiations in 1996).• China implemented substantial reforms before formal accession into WTO. WTO
membership was a powerful excuse for pushing through reforms that reduced dualism in the economy. • China has been committed to open its trade system and lower its tariffs.
• The average nominal tariff was reduced in stages from 43% in 1992 to 17% in 1999, the year when the breakthrough in WTO negotiations finally came. In the actual agreement, China agreed to lower average industrial tariffs to 9.4% by 2005, and this rate was actually achieved in 2004. The agreement lowered average agricultural tariffs to 15%, which was also easily achieved.

Processing Trade• Processing trade involves domestic firms obtaining raw materials or intermediate
inputs from abroad, processing them locally, and exporting the value-added goods.• Chinese firms started with “processing with assembly”.
• An example: A Hong Kong firm would ship fabric to a Chinese firm and have it sewn into shirts. The Chinese firm would be paid a processing fee, while the fabric and shirts would be owned by the Hong Kong firm at all times, so they did not have to pass through the foreign-trade system. In this way, the export production network already created by Hong Kong could expand into China, but Chinese industrial firms were not exposed to import competition.
• Soon Chinese firms started to purchase raw material (e.g., fabric) and build their own production network. This is called “processing with intermediate inputs”.• Globally, there is a redistribution of the stage of production.

Current Account• The current account of an economy reflects net income (income
flow).• In the current account, we have Current account balance= trade surplus + factor income + transfer. • Trade surplus includes surpluses in goods and services trade• Factor income includes labor income and capital income• Transfer includes remittance, donations, etc.

Attracting FDI to China• The policy of attracting FDI also starts from the want of foreign
currency reserve. • Local governments, in the “GDP contest”, compete for FDI. What
they offer include tax reduction, rent discount on land use, low environmental standards, etc.

Characteristics of FDI Into China• Foreign direct investment has been the predominant form in which
China has accessed global capital (as opposed to portfolio capital or bank loans).• An unusually large proportion of Chinese FDI inflows are in
manufacturing industry, as opposed to services or resource extraction.• FDI inflows have predominantly come from other East Asian
economies, especially Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Capital Account• In international finance, the capital account reflects net change in
ownership of national assets (capital flow).• In the capital account, we have Capital account balance=
FDI + portfolio investment + other investment + official reserve changes. • “Other investment” include bank loans and other flows into bank accounts.
• As an accounting identity, we must have Capital Account Balance + Current Account Balance + Statistical Error = 0

Measure of “hot money”• Despite the heavy regulation on the capital account, investors or
speculators may find ways to move money in or out of the country. This illegitimate form of capital flow is often called “hot money”. • Different measures of “hot money”. • Statistical error• All other =
(Current account balance – trade surplus) + (Capital account balance – gross FDI inflow) + statistical error

Case Study: Chinese Investment in Europe• As investors fled Europe in the worst
days of its sovereign debt crisis, China-based companies moved in the other direction and surged in, with cash flowing from China into some of the hardest-hit countries of the eurozone periphery.
• In 2010, the total stock of Chinese direct investment in the EU was just over €6.1bn – less than what was held by India, Iceland or Nigeria. By the end of 2012, Chinese investment stock had quadrupled, to nearly €27bn.
