American transformation suppresses China's firebase against independent innovation

May 23, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who came to China to attend China-US strategic and Economic Dialogue, came to the middle school to discuss the skills of Chinese students. The second round of strategic and Economic Dialogue between China and the United States was opened in Beijing from May 24 to 25th. The dialogue, the United States sent the most luxurious delegation in history, from the United States government departments and the military's 200 senior officials, will be with the Chinese representatives on trade and investment, financial market reform and the two sides of the international and regional issues of concern exchange of views. Of all the topics to be discussed, China's "Indigenous innovation" policy has received special attention from the US side.　　Some media reported that in this round of Sino-US dialogue, the exchange rate issue should be located in "independent innovation."　　On "independent innovation" in recent years, the exchange rate issue has been the first issue of Sino-US economic and trade areas, although the Sino-US Strategic and economic dialogue will still be discussed, but the current media focus has shifted from the exchange rate issue to China's "independent innovation" policy. From May 15 to 25th, U.S. Commerce secretary Gary Locke led a business mission to China and Indonesia to promote clean energy technologies and products in the United States. In addition to selling American goods, Gary Locke has an important task to communicate with Chinese authorities on China's "Indigenous innovation" policy. During his visit to China, Locke said: "We share and sell American technology to other countries while creating jobs in the United States." Therefore, during this trip and the future Sino-US Strategic and economic Dialogue, we will present our concerns on the policy of ' indigenous innovation ' to all levels of China. "Before the Sino-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue began, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Trade Representative Kirk also frequently challenged China's industrial policies," he said. Geithner said the US side will focus discussions with China on how to reduce the "challenges" facing U.S. companies ' exports to China. Kirk's stance is more straightforward: "The US side will press the Chinese side on the policy of ' independent innovation ' during the talks." U.S. media believe that a number of U.S. senior officials in the U.S.-China dialogue before the talks focused on "indigenous innovation" issue, the "perception" of Washington's trade imbalance with the US is "changing": from the previously undervalued renminbi to China's excessive export to the United States, to now believe that China's "indigenous innovation" policy to hinder U.S. exports of goods to China.　　Therefore, the exchange rate issue will be in the second round of China-US Strategic and Economic dialogue "take a backseat", the focus of the United States will be China's industrial policy. Qianliwei, a deputy researcher at the American Institute of Modern International Relations at China, told the News of the world that the exchange rate had been a "turn-around" sign since the beginning of March this year. China's commerce minister, Chen Deming, said March 8 that the renminbi exchange rate would gradually be reformed in a gradual and controllable manner. The New York Times quoted a Chinese government insider in April as saying that Beijing had either announced a change in its currency in a very short time. "Some of China's pronouncements and the attitude of the US media have shown signs that the once-interrupted process of renminbi reform is about to be renewed," askedChina and the United States are likely to have formed a certain tacit understanding. It is not hard to explain why the US focus has shifted. "The policy of" independent innovation "that openly interferes with China's economic policies and worries the U.S. government is actually an internal matter for China. November 2009, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the "2009 years of national independent innovation products to determine the work of the notice." The notice requires the supplier to obtain the product identification before being listed in the Government procurement independent Innovation catalogue, all declared products must have Chinese intellectual property rights and independent brands, and the applicant's intellectual property rights must be completely independent of overseas institutions or individuals.　　The US believes that China's policy of offering preferential policies to its own innovative products in government procurement is a "market-limiting" approach that contradicts the spirit of China's promised free trade. This year, China has partially loosened the "Indigenous innovation" standards advocated by the Government in the procurement of high-technology products, requiring only that the products of the Government procurement catalogue conform to Chinese laws and regulations, and that the applicant has or has the right to use the product's intellectual property rights in China.　　But the US side still has a lot of dissatisfaction with the result of the correction, and even rise to the "retrogression" level of China's reform and opening-up policy. U.S. Atlantic Council China expert Mr Keidel that China's approach has not violated the World Trade Organization's relevant provisions, and can not be identified as a protectionist measure. Jin Canrong, vice president of the School of International Relations at Renmin University of China, told our correspondent that the policy of government procurement of independent innovation products was only enforcing the Chinese government Procurement Act, and the United States had no right to intervene. The US response has actually highlighted a "legacy of history", which is "our long-term treatment of foreign-funded enterprises." Now we have to compete fairly and bring them to the same standard, and they can't stand it.　　Jin Canrong said the US claims to "question" China on "indigenous innovation" in the Strategic and economic dialogue, not excluding the US government's show, because "pressure from American interest groups must be reflected". Jin Canrong said the US has accused China of setting up trade barriers and has launched a "buy Chinese" program to demand that the steel products used by the United States be produced in the United States, reflecting the consistent double standards of the United States. In fact, many countries will take similar measures to protect their developing industries. "Since China is not yet a signatory to the World Trade Organisation agreement on government Procurement, the Chinese government can legitimately draw up a list of procurement preferences," Mr Keidel told the U.S. media.　　"Even in developed countries such as the United States and the European Union, which have already acceded to the GPA, the opening of government procurement markets is limited." "The best target for expanding exports" America's strong reaction to China's "independent innovation" policy has caused many to worry that there is a deeper purpose to suppress China's industrial upgrading.　　Qianliwei that, in the context of America's urgent need to expand exports, it should not be viewed entirely as a political issue for the United States. The outbreak of the financial crisis caused the American Miniro Sano to rethink its unbalancedEconomic structure, in order to change the passive situation of large foreign trade deficit, President Obama earlier this year, the "National export Initiative" to seek U.S. exports in the next 5 years to increase one-fold, to create 2 million jobs in the country.　　Jin Canrong told the News of the World, in order to achieve the goal of doubling exports for 5 years, the United States will try to push China to further open the market, "the current large economies such as Japan and Europe are not very good, China is the only one of the big countries with a bit of spare money, and naturally become the best target for us to expand exports Analysts say the Obama administration's "bashing" of China on "indigenous innovation" is also based on domestic political needs. In November this year, the U.S. Congress will hold mid-term elections. The election was widely regarded by the public as a "midterm" of Obama's political future. Analysts say that if the US unemployment rate breaks through the double digits, it will drag the Democrats away from the 24 House seats and weaken the party's dominance in the Senate. So the policy of China became the most worthy card for the Obama administration to make up for the mid-term elections.　　There are also analysis that, in the long run, the United States on industrial policy to pressure China, can be used to constrain the Chinese side, forcing China to take flexible positions on other important issues.　　News comments: Specific issues will not change the overall situation of cooperation although in the "independent innovation" policy, the two sides must be in the "dialogue" there is a game, but experts also believe that there are many strategic issues to talk about, not to focus on a specific issue and ignore the strategic cooperation between the two sides, there is no need to see the controversy too seriously. Jin Canrong, vice president of the School of International Relations at Renmin University of China, told the News of the world that the current structure of Sino-US trade is quite mutually beneficial. 90% of what China exports to the United States does not produce, helping the United States reduce production costs and living costs, and control inflation.　　China's imports of High-tech products and agricultural products from the United States can help reduce the pressure on arable land, adjust the agricultural structure and help the industry upgrade. "Trade frictions should be viewed positively, because friction exists as a result of the close economic and trade cooperation between the two countries." Jin Canrong said that with China's transformation of the way of economic growth, the potential of U.S. products to export to China is huge, "it can be said that the potential of the Chinese market is ' small lotus is a sharp point ', how the United States at this time and China to engage in trade frictions, the end of the loss is the Qianliwei, associate researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the Institute of Modern International Relations in China, said that "the volume of trade in two countries is so large that, despite some problems, the fundamentals of mutual benefit cannot be challenged." "He expected that after the Sino-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue, the two countries will have concrete results reflected in policy coordination and reform of the international financial system, and the two countries will also add new areas of cooperation."
