The Study On The Optimization Of Xinjiang Foreign Trade Commodities Structure

2011Twelfth National Five-Year Planto pointed out to optimize the structure of foreigntrade in improve the level of opening, cultivate new export competitive advantages, promotetrade transformate and upgrad; Should vigorously develop trade in services, accelerate thetransformation of foreign trade growth, promote foreign trade improve the transition fromdevelopment to mass-scale expansion.2012Ministry of Commerce issued Twelfth Five-YearPlan development of foreign trade, pointed out that China’s foreign trade in these five years ofdevelopment goals, should adhere to the steady growth of foreign trade while optimizing tradestructure, promote trade balance and sustainable development.In2013, the Third PlenarySession of eighteenth also proposed to expand the open border and encourage borderprovinces to speed up the construction of a free trade area; In the same year, the StatePresident also proposed to implement the "Silk Road economic zone" strategy, the end of theyear, they introduced the "Opinions on Accelerating the development and opening of theborder region", and so on. These initiatives will undoubtedly improve the foreign trade andeconomic cooperation in Xinjiang, transform the foreign trade development, and it will has agreat role in promoting economic development in Xinjiang. So Xinjiang should be seize thisopportunity to take advantage of good policies and measures granted by the State, complete aset of measures to expand the opening-up and accelerate the realization of trade structureoptimization and upgrading.Xinjiang since the open border, foreign trade has maintained a sustained growth.In theyear of2012, The foreign trade of Xinjiang amounted to$25.17billion, it is32.5timeshigher than1992,and it accounted for the proportion as high as0.65%in China. Xinjiangforeign trade in services is also on an upward trend, up from$975million in2007to$1.532billion in2012, it increases57%in six years. It showed that the development of foreign tradein Xinjiang has a good situation and bright prospects. From the structure of commodities,although the export goods in Xinjiang are mainly manufactured, but most of them arelabor-intensive and low-tech. Services of exports are mainly traditional and consumption,there is a modern and productive service competitive advantage grossly inadequate. Thisseverely restricts the process of improving the trade structure in Xinjiang. In order toencourage more optimized trade structure in Xinjiang, it also needed to accelerating industrialstructure adjustment, increasing the intensity of technical transformation, technological innovation, promoting technological innovation, developing the advantages, and enhancinginternational competitiveness of products, so it can promote the optimization of tradestructure in Xinjiang.The present situation of trade structure in Xinjiang is analyzed in this paper, we findthat, on the whole, Xinjiang’s trade structure is improving, but the improvement is small,therefore, I use the gray correlation analysis and qualitative analysis to analyze theinfluencing factors of the structure about goods trade and services trade in Xinjiang, thencombined with Xinjiang’s foreign and domestic trade policy and industrial policy conditions,as well as local conditions, in order to present that Xinjiang will continue to improve the tradestructure. Finally, I propose some feasible suggestions for further optimization of tradestructure in Xinjiang. Hope through speeding up the upgrading of Xinjiang’s industrialstructure, playing the role of government, improving the capital accumulation and othermeasures to speed up the process of trade structural improvements.
