A Comparison of Foreign Trade Statistics of The Northeast Asia 3 Countries-Korea, China and Japan

In 1995, the China-U.S. Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade, organized by the U.S. Department of Commerce, published an important study about the trade returns disparity of China. This China-U.S. Joint Commission was established in order to analyze why trade returns disparities occurred between China and U.S., their paper was based on the analysis of China-U.S. trade returns from 1992 to 1993. The problem of trade returns discordance has been a crucial issue in trade negotiations with China. If the trade returns discordance occurs because China evaluates trade returns in a way that would be favorable to them, it means that the discordance has been deliberately made as a strategic approach to prepare the logical foundation for China s pressure for free trade on states that suffer from a deficit in trade balance and China s protection of its market from tree trade against countries that have trade profit. This study focus on analysis to causing factors related with the discordance of foreign trade statistics northeast asia 3 countries: Korea, China, Japan. A foreign trade statistics among these countries is compared with Korea and Japan, Korea and China, Japan and China mutually, and grasped discordance degree of foreign trade statistics between these countries. Further more, there is another study purpose to confirm interrelation empirically through regression analysis between foreign trade statistics discordance among compared countries and re-export of Hong Kong, and how re-export of Kong Kong acts for cause of Chinese foreign trade statistics discordance. AS a results, it is clearly confirmed that re-export process of Hong Kong and foreign trade statistics discordance with the China is deeply related to big scale. A cause of foreign trade statistics discordance of Korea and China, Japan and China are explained from the fact that korea and japan s trade with china and re-export of Hong Kong have close interrelation through empirical test. This prove validity of study methodologies of several studies that attempted reajusting of Hong Kong as main cause of China Foreign trade statistics discordance. Except explained part through empirical test, the other part, in most care, can be explained by mark-up of Hong Kong s re-export and variance of import and export s price etc.
