The Research On The Dependence Of Sino-Russia Forestry Products Trade

The growing social demand comes along with the rapid development of China’s economy. The living level of residents has been rising up. The residents’necessities substitute quality requirements for quantity requirements gradually. In the past ten years, China’s imports of major forest products have been rapidly growing. Imports of forest products on the one hand to ease the pressure on domestic demand; it also brings a lot of adverse effects. In the current situation, imports of forest products market are facing a lot of pressure from home and abroad. This requires ensuring forestry products must be based on the number of production, enhancing product quality requirements and gradually to the insurance type, low-cost and high-quality type of transformation from raw material type. With China’s accession to further promotion the WTO, as well as economic globalization, China’s dependence on foreign forest products is stepping into a period of rapidly rising time. Forest products based on timber-resource are playing an important role in the development of the whole national economy. It’s indispensable irreplaceable and important resource in a country’s economic and social development. It’s one of the important signs to judge one country’s comprehensive strength on the amount of wood forest products. China is a developing country and it is a country of scarce forest resources. It has undoubtedly important theoretical and practical significance to study China’s foreign trade dependence on timber and structural optimization.Firstly, it’s described trends and characteristics of China’s main import forest products in recent years in detail. Secondly, it’s fully analyzed the main factors which affect China’s import market on the perspectives of the domestic timber supply and demand, international trade, and forestry policies, social and economic. The paper analyzed China’s social and economy development effects resulting from the changes of trade dependence which is based on searching for the theory of tread and trade dependence and looking up a lot of literature. Economics, forestry knowledge of economics, international trade, canonical correlation analysis of statistical methods and qualitative analysis, research methods and means of combining quantitative analysis is used in this paper. Finally, the results of quantitative analysis and suggestions are put forward measures to moderate dependence on foreign forest.The article is firstly described the background, significance the study, research, and logical frameworks of this article. It’s also elaborated the theoretical basis of the definition of the concept and research. In this chapter, the author defines the main concepts involved and elaborated the theoretical basis of the study, mainly related to trade and economic theories. Analyzing the current situation, issues and causes of China’s imports of Russian timber comes next. It also analyzes the factors of the wood-forest structure optimization between China and Russia. Besides that it analyzes the trade intensity and complementarity of the Sino-Russian in forest products, with trade intensity index, revealed comparative advantage index, index of intra-industry trade and trade complementarity index to analyze the problem. At the same time, according to Sino-Russian Timber trade and consumption to calculate the trade dependence, then analyzing the trend in the future years. At last, it’s the structure optimization of China’s imports of Russian timber is put forward, while it comes up with some specific measures and countermeasures to optimize the two countries’ timber market from Russian timber trade policy and China’s forestry economy development situation.
