Professionalism, craftsmanship are necessary
Reading trade statistics, everyone should be very impressed with China's tremendous achievements in the decade since it joined the WTO. Despite the fragile recovery of the global economy, in 2010 China's exports surged 31 percent to reach $1.6 trillion, more than six times the amount in 2000. For the first time, China overtook Germany as the No 1 exporter in the world.
Its high-tech exports were valued at $490 billion and accounted for 31 percent of its total exports. A report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) concluded that China surpassed the United States, Japan and the European Union to emerge as the world's largest high-tech exporter.
Further, according to statistics from the US Department of Commerce, China surprisingly ran $90 billion of surplus in advanced technology products against the US, an undisputed world leader in technology innovations.
