China Trade Data Declined at a Rapid Pace in November 2022

LET’S UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GLOBAL TRADE

In simple terms, Global Trade is the type of trade that is conducted between two or more nations with respect to selling and buying goods and services with each other. When a particular nation doesn’t have enough resources to fulfill its domestic demand, then it has to import those products from different nations that have a surplus of that particular product. The Pricing Per Product is decided by analyzing the total items being shipped to and from the source and destination country.

Majorly there are two types of scenarios that prevail in the international market: Trade Surplus and Trade Deficit. In the case of a trade surplus, the total exports get more than the total imports. That means the revenue generated through sales or exports becomes more than the total spending incurred to procure goods from other nations. On the other hand, if the exports fall and imports rise then the situation of Trade Deficit rises. Wherein, the country spends more on importing goods than it earns through exporting.

ABOUT CHINA AND ITS TRADING TRENDS

China is one of the largest nations in the world consisting of a land area of close to 3.8 million square miles. China is currently the One-Party Socialist Republic. The China Trade Data always tops the charts of world imports and exports. The country has always experienced constant and positive growth since the 20th century. Being the most populated country, it has always remained amongst the top 03 ranks concerning total imports and exports to and from different nations. Some numerical stats to justify our claim are as follows:

  • GDP of China: USD 23.009 trillion (2020)
  • Growth Rate: 6.17% (2019)
  • Inflation rate: 3% (2020)
  • Revenues of Government: Approx. 21% of the total GDP (2017)

CURRENT TRENDS IN CHINA IMPORT AND EXPORT

By analyzing the past trends with the current trends, we observe a very drastic drop in the total exports and imports made by China in the month of November 2022. The China Trade Data which is derived from the Customs Authorities of China stated that the total exports of the nation get reduced by almost 8.7% as compared to last year whereas, the imports showed a decline of 10.7%. The two possible reasons behind this decline can be, one, the various pandemic restrictions that are levied by the country, making it hard for the exports to clear the customs, or second, the reduced global demand for goods and services across the globe for Chinese products.

Deliveries of almost every type of product ranging from furniture, electric gadgets, textiles, eatables, and toys got reduced and the remaining potential buyers also reduced their quantity due to high prices and inflation in the market.

According to global economists, the data depicted by China, better known as China Trade Data for the month of November is an alarming signal that can be the onset of a recession in the global economy. Moreover, developed nations like the United States are working closely about reducing the demand for Chinese products by increasing interest rates to reduce or eliminate the inflation rate.

As per the latest reports released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), economic growth worldwide will decrease by 2.5% in the year 2023. During the recent official meeting of the top officials, China took a pledge to balance its economy and China Trade to a large extent. The current pandemic restrictions are getting removed due to mass public protests, clogged supply chains, and limited consumer spending. China is working to formulate strong strategies and regulations to overcome the effect of the pandemic and get back on track by maximizing exports to maintain the economic structure of the country.

EFFECT OF UPLIFTMENT OF PHASE-WISE RESTRICTIONS OF PANDEMIC ON CHINA TRADE DATA

China’s health authorities and institutions have started to ease out covid restrictions in a phase-wise manner. Starting with advising patients with mild symptoms to stay at home, hence releasing pressure on the government and hospitals. Other covid checks at public places are scrapped for the smooth and quick functioning of facilities.

As per the economists, the reopening of China will not ensure quick economic growth as the required preparation is still lacking in the country and vaccinations are not available at a large scale that can suffice the whole population of China. China's Research Director, Christopher Beddor claims that although the reopening of China is uneven, due to the mass job opportunities the people of the nation will work hard and determinately and will work towards the betterment of the nation by maintaining its economic stability.

CORRELATION BETWEEN CHINA AND VIETNAM TRADE MARKET

In this section, we are going to compare the export trade statistics of China with Vietnam as Vietnam was the nation who is benefitted the most from a decline in exports from China.

YEAR

CHINA EXPORT VALUE

VIETNAM EXPORT VALUE

2017

2.271B

2.151B

2018

2.494B

2.436B

2019

2.498B

2.646B

2020

2.588B

2.814B

2021

3.361B

3.357B

From the above stats, we can easily observe and interpret that the export values of China go through various ups and downs and increase by just a few numbers, but on the other hand, we can see that Vietnam has experienced a year-by-year growth without any fall. This clearly states that Vietnam Export benefitted very much during these years of decline for China. It is estimated that Vietnam Export Data will rise further in the coming years.

FINAL VERDICT

According to Christopher Beddor, as we discussed above, China’s economy and China Trade will again come on track very soon. Contrary to this thought, various economists have predicted that the growth of China would prove to be the slowest growth to the level at which it was maintained before the pandemic. This is so because other nations like China, for example, Vietnam have already set up a good image during this period. Many big investors and companies are investing in Vietnam as compared to China because of the cheap and more efficient labor available. This has helped Vietnam Export Data to grow during these years at a much rapid pace.

China has to come back with a strong strategy to uplift itself and come back on track again to stabilize China Trade Data and other statistics. Nonetheless, if we compare the total imports of China in the month of November 2021 with 2022, we see a drop of 11% which is a very steep decline.
