Foreign trade does not refer to specific work. The advantages of foreign trade are:
1. To develop foreign trade, we can exchange needed goods, adjust surplus and deficiency, and adjust the optimal allocation of resources.
2. Developing foreign trade can save social labor and achieve better economic benefits.
The development of foreign trade can absorb and introduce the advanced scientific and technological achievements in the contemporary world and enhance the country's economic strength.
4. Developing foreign trade and accepting the competitive pressure and challenges in the international market can promote domestic enterprises to constantly update their technologies and improve labor productivity and the internationalization level of their products.
Extended data:
For a long time, China has a trade surplus with the United States and the European Union, but a trade deficit with South Korea, Germany and other countries. Taking China's major trade surplus countries and deficit countries as examples, we can understand the real structure of the imbalance by analyzing the trade imbalance between China and these countries.
From 2005 to 2009, under the accounting of value-added trade, the trade surplus between China and the United States decreased by $45 billion -6 1 billion, accounting for 26%-3 1% of the traditional trade surplus. Under the two trade statistics methods, the trade surplus between China and Europe ranges from US$ 654.38+0.2 billion to US$ 25 billion, accounting for 2,654.38+0%-50% of the total traditional trade surplus.
China's actual export volume is not as huge as that under the statistics of total trade volume, which not only shows the true degree of China's trade imbalance, but also further shows that China is only a "trading power" in global trade and still has a certain distance from it.
Value-added trade just shows that the net increment of China's trade is not high, especially the creative increment is relatively backward. Therefore, we should face up to China's position in global trade. Being the largest exporter does not mean becoming a "trading power".
