出口下滑义乌市印刷包装，义乌商人走出国门找商机

在中国东部的浙江省义乌市，距离市区大约30分钟车程的苏溪镇上，每天有数以千计的工厂正生产着各种织物和玩具。

不久后，这些商品将会在国际商贸城销售——世界上最大的小商品批发市场。

5月15日，苏溪南部一家工厂，很多工人正忙着折叠彩色盒子，而女工们正用彩带装饰印有圣诞老人图案的礼品盒。

“早在2015年12月，我们就接到了今年圣诞节的订单。”工厂负责人何丽红（音）说。

和这个区域的很多人一样，何丽红从事包装印刷行业已有十多年。每天，她的工厂生产的货物能装满一个标准的集装箱，或者三十至四十万个礼品袋。

她的顾客主要来自欧洲和南美洲，她也想把业务拓展到中东和亚洲南部。同时，义乌政府也出台了一系列政策帮助中小型企业，推动企业的业务沿着“一带一路”的国家增长。

“我觉得迪拜市场潜力很大。”何丽红说。

小商品“走出去”

义乌的经济依赖出口，义乌政府如今鼓励越来越多的企业走出国门到海外拓展业务，寻找商机。

在中国，私人企业比国企更积极地想方设法走出去。

商务部国际贸易谈判副代表张向晨在2015年9月的发言中提到，中国企业对外投资中，私人企业投资占比达60%以上。

考虑到中国51％的出口额都流向“一带一路”沿线国家，而义乌十个贸易伙伴中有九个是“一带一路”倡议的一部分，因此，越来越多的义乌商人尝试与外国公司合作或走出国门义乌市印刷包装，以此拓展业务。

With exports in decline, Yiwu’s merchants turn to investing abroad

Each day in Suxi county, a roughly 30 minute drive from downtown Yiwu, East China's Zhejiang Province, thousands of factories produce a wide range of goods such as textiles and toys.

Those goods are later sold at the Yiwu International Trade City, the world's largest small commodities wholesale market.

At a factory in southern Suxi on May 15, dozens of workers were busily folding up colorful patterned boxes while female workers put ribbons on Christmas gift bags featuring images of Santa Clause.

"We received orders for this year's Christmas back in December 2015," said He Lihong, who runs the factory.

Like many other businessmen in the region, she has been in the gift bag and decorative wrapping paper businesses for more a decade. Every day, her factory produces enough products to fill a standard shipping container, or 300,000 to 400,000 gift bags, she told the Global Times on May 15.

Most of her current customers are in Europe and South America, though she wants to expand further in the Middle East and South Asia because the government is expected to enact more favorable policies to help Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) grow their businesses in countries along the routes of the "One Belt and One Road" (B&R) initiative.

"I think Dubai is a market with potential," she said.

Small commodities 'go out'

The government of Yiwu, which has been largely dependent on exports, has been encouraging more local private companies to go abroad and invest overseas.

In China, private companies have become more aggressive than State-owned enterprises about investing overseas.

As of September 2015, private investment accounted for more than 60 percent of the total foreign investment by Chinese companies, according to a Xinhua News Agency report that quoted Deputy China International Trade Representative Zhang Xiangchen of the Ministry of Commerce.

Considering that 51 percent of China's exports go to countries along the B&R routes and nine of Yiwu's top 10 trading partners are part of the initiative, more and more of the city's merchants are encouraged to expand their businesses abroad by cooperating with foreign companies or setting up affiliates in other countries.
