如果奥巴马的TPP幸存，中国企业着眼于“越南制造”的暴利

 

China firms eye 'Made in Vietnam' windfall if Obama's TPP survives

From textiles and shoes to paper and furniture, Chinese manufacturers are pouring investments into neighbouring Vietnam, hoping to ride on the coattails of the South-east Asian country's pending trade blitz. 
Vietnam's Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the European Union, signed last year, and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), if it clears significant political hurdles in the US, would collectively give the country access to markets worth US$44 trillion in combined gross domestic product. 
Even as doubts linger over the future of US President Barack Obama's TPP once he leaves office, early moves by China Inc to leverage off Vietnam's lower factory wages - about a third that of China's - show a re-centering of the world's factory activity. 
Importantly, a base in Vietnam gives Chinese manufacturers access to trade agreements of which China is not currently a part. 
"So far this year, I've had more than 30 Chinese wood companies coming to me for consultation," said Nguyen Ton Quyen, who heads Vietnam's Timber and Forest Product Association. 
"There's a considerable amount of Chinese wood furniture firms moving their investments to Vietnam, to enjoy tax incentives."

如果奥巴马的TPP幸存，中国企业着眼于“越南制造”的暴利

从纺织品和鞋类到纸和家具,中国制造商投资涌入邻国越南,希望在东南亚国家的悬而未决的贸易闪电战附近。

越南与欧盟的自由贸易协定(FTA)已于去年签署,而跨太平洋伙伴关系(TPP),如果美国可以清理重大政治障碍,都将会给这个国家进入市场获得价值44万亿美元的金额并与国内生产总值(gdp)相结合。

尽管在美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马离任后，疑虑其TPP的未来,中国公司早前利用越南工厂的低工资-是中国的约三分之一，重新居中在世界工厂的活动中。

重要的是,在越南的基地给中国制造商接近贸易协定，而目前中国还不是其一部分。

“今年到目前为止,我已经有30多个中国木材公司前来咨询,” 越南木材和林产品协会负责人Quyen Nguyen说。

“有大量的中国木制家具企业投资转移到越南,享受税收优惠。”
