Tian Hua China and the United States, friends and rivals.  China-US relations after 2009 years of mutual protection against the economic crisis and relatively peaceful development, in the warmer 2010, the U.S. economy needs a strong revival, the Sino-US economic and trade relations friction increased, again into a "bumpy" situation. Both countries need to be enlightened. A recent survey by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Beijing found that the proportion of U.S. companies surveyed who viewed foreign companies as increasingly unpopular in the Chinese market and engaged in competition rose to 38% in February, compared with 26% per cent two months ago.  The result was the highest level of concern for members of the American Chamber of Commerce since it began investigating its members four years ago. In addition, the surge in discontent among foreign companies is partly related to China's new rules on "indigenous innovation". The provision, which was proposed at the end of last year, requires the Government to give priority to products containing Chinese intellectual property when purchasing. The FT quoted Bermaigao, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, as saying: "For many multinationals, China is a bright spot in the global economy, but our survey suggests that member companies believe these regulations are a new form of protectionism that will be used to exclude them in an increasingly important market.  "The policy allegedly limits them to a purchase contract worth tens of billions of of dollars." In this regard, Shen, director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University, thinks the United States is doing even more well because they specify that it is not "a priority" to buy American products. So both sides are so, don't blame each other. But at the same time also understand that both sides are not free trade, free trade only one indicator, that is cost-effective, there is no difference between who created the problem. "He thinks the two countries have not yet achieved this awareness, China's idea is that they would rather not achieve the best price, but in order to put more job opportunities in China, chose to protect their own provisions."  He understood that. China is worth staying behind and complaining to these foreign companies, "in some places, it may be because we have arrogant places, and some places do improve."  "In Shen Dingli's view," complaining "instead shows that China's economic environment has improved, because in the past China in order to scramble for U.S. enterprises, there is the situation of accommodating foreign companies, and continue to make generous conditions, such as in the area of environmental tax easing requirements. In fact, the Sino-US differences in intellectual property have been going on for quite some time, and the United States has repeatedly stressed that China's IPR protection is weak, but that the situation is not getting more serious, but gradually easing, both sides have found the balance point. A senior translator who has participated in the Sino-US intellectual property negotiations for more than more than 10 years also told reporters that the atmosphere of the initial negotiations was almost so tense that even the translation was not in the atmosphere and had to bury himself in translation.  But years later, there has been little gunpowder in the talks and the atmosphere is quite friendly. One key factor in the view of an official at China's State intellectual Property Office is that Chinese companies also have a lot of intellectual propertyNeed to protect, have a good rule of law environment for Chinese and foreign enterprises are beneficial.  After visiting the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Ministry of Justice and the United States Trade Representative office in charge of intellectual property rights last September, the reporter also learned that they recognized China's progress in IPR protection, but their expectations were also improving. A department head of the American Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., told reporters it did see progress. As a 5 million-member chamber of Commerce, they tend to argue that all sorts of economic disputes between China and the US are negotiated, rather than submitted to Congress or exacerbated. Because once members are involved, things are likely to hinder constructive relations between the two sides.  And now the tricky thing is that Congress is keen to get involved. Interestingly, the third annual survey of China's manufacturing competitiveness, jointly conducted by the Shanghai American Chamber of Commerce and management consultancy, March 30, shows that China remains a particularly attractive country for building and expanding manufacturing operations.  Of course, the research also shows some problems: Some companies are planning to relocate manufacturing operations to lower-cost regions in China or other emerging Asian countries such as India and Vietnam. "With the maturity of China's manufacturing sector, multinational companies are transforming their China strategy." "In the face of increasingly arduous labour challenges and rising raw-material costs, many companies are more focused on best practices and some are looking for cheaper locations both inside and outside China," said Besning, a partner at the company. "We do face some problems, such as the competitiveness of Chinese companies in the industry has been improving." "I know of a company that has withdrawn its operations from China and moved to India because of similar factors," said Manoj Kulkarni, director of Shanghai's Asia-Pacific supply chain management, Emerson Electric. "However, Galaxy, whose main business is chemical products, is temporarily outside its local competitors and its clients are dominated by multinationals rather than the Chinese market, making it seem like a temporary outsider." But Nick, the company's business representative, told reporters: "I think the current investment climate is still stable, but in many ways there are profound changes that we must be in."
