Is China leading global trade or manipulating markets?

DDM News

China continues to strengthen its global economic ties, demonstrating a commitment to cooperation and stability in international trade.

The stories of two “apples”—the Huaniu apple from China and the U.S. tech giant Apple’s operations in China—highlight the nation’s active role in globalization and its contributions to a stable international order.

Diaspora digital media (DDM) revailed that the Huaniu apples, a specialty fruit from Tianshui, Gansu province, have gained international recognition.

These apples now reach over 30 countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Maldives.

As the first Chinese apple brand to secure an international trademark, Huaniu apples have expanded their global presence through overseas warehouses, allowing more consumers to enjoy the sweetness of China’s produce.

China, the world’s largest apple grower and exporter, has also introduced the first-ever apple futures contracts.

Trade agreements like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and innovative “internet plus foreign trade” strategies have enabled Chinese apples to flourish in international markets.

These policies reflect China’s efforts to facilitate global trade and strengthen economic ties with other nations.

At the same time, the success of Apple Inc. in China highlights the deep economic integration between China and the rest of the world.

The U.S. tech giant participated in the second China International Supply Chain Expo alongside four of its Chinese suppliers.

For over three decades, Apple has relied on China’s manufacturing strengths, with more than 80 percent of its 200 major global suppliers operating factories in China.

Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged this strong partnership, stating, “We would not do what we do without them.”

Chinese companies, in turn, have enhanced their technological capabilities through long-term collaboration with Apple.

GoerTek, a supplier based in Weifang, Shandong province, has worked with Apple in the field of acoustic sensors, advancing automation technologies and improving manufacturing processes.

Similarly, Lingyi iTECH, which started as a small die-cutting business, has grown into a major manufacturer, producing thousands of modules and components for Apple products.

The company has expanded its global footprint, establishing factories in India, Vietnam, and Brazil.

These success stories illustrate China’s firm commitment to economic globalization.

The increasing presence of Chinese apples in international markets and Apple’s continued reliance on Chinese manufacturers demonstrates China’s mutually beneficial approach to trade.

This interconnected system links China’s economic interests with those of other nations, reinforcing a stable global economic framework.

The international order, which serves as a public good, affects countries worldwide.

A stable system ensures global peace, development, and economic prosperity.

It provides the foundation for steady international trade and allows nations to engage in mutually beneficial cooperation.

Economic globalization acts as a pillar supporting this order, strengthening trade and economic exchanges while fostering opportunities for growth and innovation.

China has both benefited from and contributed to the stability of the international order.

The nation firmly upholds the global system centered on the United Nations, the international order based on international law, and the basic norms outlined in the UN Charter.

As challenges arise in global governance, China has remained committed to defending this order.

Rather than challenging international stability, China continues to promote cooperation and economic development.

Through active participation in global trade, technological partnerships, and policy initiatives, China reinforces its role as a key defender of international stability.

These efforts benefit both China and the broader global community, ensuring a future of shared economic growth and prosperity.
