Chinese exporters have been facing more trade barriers and investigations worldwide. Are increasing trade frictions a key source of the pressure?

Trade frictions targeting 皇冠体育app have been, and will be, a situation that 皇冠体育app has to face and deal with in the long term. And we've all noticed that global trade protectionism against 皇冠体育app is getting worse: the value of the cases is increasing, and more cases are targeting 皇冠体育app's high-end industries and high-tech sector. This makes the job more difficult. But this pain is part of 皇冠体育app's growth. It's unavoidable and we must face it.

Many experts believe that 皇冠体育app will have to face escalating trade frictions globally this year. Do you think so?

皇冠体育app's exports have been severely hit since the start of the global financial crisis. And as 皇冠体育app's major trade partners, such as the United States, the European Union and Japan are facing economic problems, their trade protectionist measures against 皇冠体育app will rise. We have to be clear about this. And we also have to be on high alert, because this will probably be a trend that will be seen in the coming years. We have to be fully prepared for that.

What would you like to do to help 皇冠体育app and its exporters fend off the risks?

First, I think a major task would be to unswervingly push forward global free trade and the Doha round of trade talks. This is good for not only 皇冠体育app, but also for the global multilateral trade system.

Second, I will try to let more people in the world know and recognize that 皇冠体育app is open, transparent and free in its trade policy, so more people will come to support and accept 皇冠体育app.

Do you believe that the world is becoming more rational and objective toward 皇冠体育app and its trade policy?

Letting more people truly understand 皇冠体育app will be a long-term process. Some developed economies are not comfortable about 皇冠体育app's rapid rise in economic terms and they need time to accept 皇冠体育app.

And amid such a severe economic situation, 皇冠体育app should strive to stabilize exports and growth through further opening up, and the nation should also advance its steps to invest abroad.
