中国与捷克的贸易联系:部门分析

捷克与中国的贸易存在巨额的赤字。撇开捷克贸易赤字的出口一方,我们来看一下进口。捷克是中国对欧盟进口的门户吗?中国的进口是否被用到了进一步加工领域?文章分析了影响贸易赤字的各个因素,比较了捷克与欧盟15国及波兰、匈牙利和斯洛伐克从中国的进口情况。分析表明,捷克从中国的进口表现出与其他国家非常不同的发展趋势,不仅进口量巨大(占GDP的比重),而且在投资品和进一步加工产品方面有快速的发展。对格鲁伯—劳埃德产业内贸易指数的计算表明,在所有测算国家中中捷贸易的数值最低。该研究验证了一个假设:捷克是中国进入和拓展欧盟市场的一个立足点。

Sino-Czech Trade Links: a Sectoral Analysis

The Czech Republic （CR） runs a huge trade deficit with the People＇ s Republic of China （PRC）. Rather than looking at the export side of the Czech deficit we look at imports. Could it mean that the CR is a gate for Chinese imports into the European Union （EU） and the Chinese imports are used in further manufacturing？ The article analyses various aspects of the trade deficit, comparing Czech imports with that of EU-15 countries, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia. Czech imports from China show a very different development. Not only are the Chinese imports into the CR much larger （as a percentage of its GDP）, they also show a sectoral structure of imports highly geared towards investment goods and products used for further manufacturing. The Gruber-Lloyd intra-industry trade index calculated for Czech-China trade shows the lowest values of all tested countries. These findings confirm hypoth- esis that CR is an interesting location for Chinese expansion into the EU markets.
