The Export Competitiveness of Electromechanical Products between Fujian and ASEAN Countries
Along with the formal establishment of CAFTA,the regional economic and trade cooperation has entered into a new stage.Electromechanical industry is a chief one in the trade between Fujian and ASEAN countries.However,comparing Fujian's export of mechanical and electrical products with ASEAN's,we can find that there is more competitiveness than complementarity.The amount of export and international market share of Fujian increases year by year,the growth is faster,and the products are more competitive in general.However,there still exists a gap compared to Singapore and the Philippines.Fujian should give full play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses by attaching importance to adjusting and upgrading industrial structure,increasing scientific research input,promoting research and development ability,increasing the technological element of its products,taking trans-regional industrial agglomeration,implementing the strategy of"going out"and increasing investment in ASEAN countries,so as to promote the export competitiveness of its mechanical and electrical products.
