Last fall Beijing agreed to open its markets to more U.S. goods, including everything from Polaroid film to automobiles. In return, Washington would support Chinas membership in the General Agreem

16、ent on Tariffs and Trade. Membership in this club, which includes all the worlds leading economies, could provide a huge boost for a low-wage export economy. Already though, Chinas commercial strength is starting to worry competitors. Last year Chinas trade surplus surged, buoyed by exports of toys,

17、 textiles and consumer electronics. Its trade surplus with the United States hit a record $18 billion. Only Japans was larger. With the U.S. Congress due to consider the renewal of Chinas most -favored nation trade status in June, officials in Beijing fear the trade imbalance could surpass human rig

18、hts as a source of U.S. opposition to preferred status for China. “The trade surplus itself will be the No.1 problem this year,” says one Chinese official. “After Japan, well be first in line for retaliation.”Statements:42.

19、ctronics, decreased last year. 43.

20、n the past, the trade imbalance was regarded as the more important source of U.S. opposition to preferred status for China than human rights. 46. Officials in Beijing attach much importance to the trade surplus. Nike is the worlds largest supplier of athletic footwear and among the most successful c

21、onsumer-products companies to have emerged in the past 20 years. Part of that success has come about by paying rock-bottom wages to the workers who make the shoes. All but 1% of the 90 million shoes Nike makes each year are manufactured in Asia.Nike is as American as Coca-cola. Part of its appeal to

22、 the millions of people around the world who buy its athletic shoes is that Nike is selling a sense of freedom. “Just do it!” exult Nikes advertisements.But there is a rough side to this dream: the ruthlessness with which Nike pares its costs. The company is for ever on the look-out for cheap produc

23、tion sites. If costs in a particular country or factory move too far out of line, productivity will have to rise to compensate, or Nike will take its business elsewhere. The firm uses about 40 factories; 20 have closed in the past five years or so and another 35 have opened.Nike may look like an all

24、-American enterprise, but its success relies on its ability to harness Asias spectacular manufacturing expertise. “Were always looking for new manufacturing sources,” says Nikes vice-president for production. “People ask why we dont produce more in Eastern Europe, but weve concluded that the most ca

25、pable manufacturers are in Asia.”The organization of Nike is simple and effective. All the production risk is taken by contractors. “We dont know the first thing about manufacturing,” says Nikes vice-president for Asia-Pacific. “We are marketers and designers.” There are the areas on which it concen

26、trates its resources. Yet it retains the advantages of firms which produce in-house, namely a high degree of control over quality and the ability to respond rapidly to changing tastes.Until recently, almost all Nikes shoes were made in South Korea and Taiwan, but as labor costs there have soared, th

27、e firms contractors in these two areas have moved much of their production to cheaper sites in Indonesia and Thailand.47. The most important ingredient of Nikes success is giving people a sense of freedom. 48. The quantity of shoes Nike manufactures in Asia each year is about 90 million. 49. As all

28、the production risk is taken by contractors, Nikes main concentration is on marketing and designing. 50.Nike prefers to produce in Asia rather than in Eastern Europe because they think the Asian market is bigger than Eastern Europes. 51. To keep costs low, Nikes most important strategy is to produce

29、 in countries where labor costs are still low. VI.
