Electric heating, warm baby, electric blanket ... Why did China warm the "artifact" in China?

Guan Xiaoyu Xue Peng, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, reported that for Europe, the upcoming severe winter may not be too good. How can we pass the winter in the case of limited natural gas supply and soaring prices? More and more Europeans seek answers from Chinese manufacturing.

Recently, the Rainbow Group quietly became popular due to the concept of "electric blanket". Not only is this old -fashioned small home appliance company ushered in production and sales. my country's air -conditioning, electric water heater, electric heater and other categories of exports to Europe also show a trend of rebellion.

Data from the General Administration of Customs show that in July this year alone, the EU's 27 countries imported Chinese electric blankets as high as 1.29 million, an increase of nearly 150%month -on -month. The heater of the EU has been extended for about a month. Many importers additional heater orders have brought a round of "replenishment". Why is China's heating equipment pretty European? What are the reasons for us? The reporter reported an interview.

European consumers under the energy crisis are prepared for the cold winter, driving the export of Chinese heating "artifacts" such as electric heating, warm baby, and electric blankets.

Cixi City, Zhejiang Province is one of the heater production bases in my country, and exports account for 30 % of the country. Unlike the end of the peak season of electric heating around mid -September in previous years, related companies have been busy making orders this year to cope with the "make -up waves" of customers such as Europe and other places.

On the afternoon of September 22, when the reporter called, Xu Songlie, the general manager of Cixi Fuyun Electric Co., Ltd., was busy making a new round of electric heating orders. Founded in 2011, Fuyun Electric, the main business is small electric heater, mainly based on European and American customers. At present, in Cixi similar products, it ranks first on European exports.

"Affected by the international environment, European customers' demand for electric heater has increased significantly. Fulun Electric's turnover has increased by nearly 20%over the same period last year to 130 million yuan." Xu Songlie introduced that this year's supplementary orders are particularly obvious. The increase of more than 100,000 units, customers are mainly concentrated in European countries, including Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, etc., mainly shopping mall supermarket customers.

According to Cen Na, the chief of the Cixi Customs Inspection of Ningbo Customs, from January to August this year, the export of Cixi heater was 3.35 billion yuan, an increase of 26.3% year -on -year, of which 1.53 billion yuan was exported, a year -on -year increase of 55.2%, compared with the same period of the same period of previous years Compared to the sales season of the EU heater, it is expected to extend for about a month.

The heating "artifact" in the heated by European consumers is not just electric heating. In the "World Supermarket" Yiwu small commodity city, merchants who run heating products such as hot water bottle also felt the unusual order this year.

"This year's orders in Europe are particularly hot. From time to time, there are orders in March and the transaction rate is very high. In terms of quantity, the largest orders in the previous year are about 900,000 pieces. 2 million pieces. "Luo Lanxian, a merchant who has been in the hot water bottle business in the small commercial city of Yiwu, told reporters that he had issued the customer's order before the end of July, but now as the weather is cold, customers in Europe and other places have added another batch of orders. Calculating this year's product sales has doubled year -on -year. In the Y without merchants operating similar products, the order volume has basically increased significantly.

According to data from the China Household Appliances Association, in the context of 2022 most of the exports of domestic appliances to Europe, air conditioners, electric water heaters, electric heater, electric blankets, hair dryers and other categories increased against the trend. The amount was US $ 1.99 billion, $ 130 million, $ 490 million, US $ 33.4 million, and US $ 160 million, of which the electric blanket reached 97%.

In Xu Songlie's view, the reason why Chinese electric heating products such as electric heating and electric blankets are popular with European customers, on the one hand, because of the special situation this year, the European energy crisis makes the price of natural gas high. For the upcoming winter, ordinary consumers have to have to have to be ordinary consumers. Preparation in advance; on the other hand, because of the severe inflation in Europe, the decline in consumer overall purchasing power, and China's heating products are more cost -effective and are guaranteed in terms of safety and durability.

With the most complete manufacturing industry in the global industry category and the most complete industrial system, my country's uncertainty cope with the international market

Throughout the international market in recent years, whenever the "core" and "less cabinet" occurred, Made in China can always come forward and take on the heavy chain.

In 2020, the overseas new crown epidemic continued to spread, and the people who wasolation in home isolation in Europe and the United States strongly drove the refrigerator to "explode", and the timing of Chinese companies accelerated the refrigerator "going to the sea". According to customs data, the cumulative refrigerator exported in 2020 was 69.54 million units, an increase of 35.6%year -on -year. Among them, in December, the export refrigerator was 6.48 million units, a year -on -year increase of 58.7%.

In 2021, as consumers paid more and more attention to safety and health, the international market demand for bicycles rose sharply. The exports of Chinese bicycles and components ushered in a significant growth and showed a high -end trend. Data show that in 2021, the exports of bicycles were 69.232 million, a year -on -year increase of 14.8%; the export value was US $ 5107 billion, an increase of 40.2%year -on -year. Among them, the "race bicycles" and "mountain bicycles" representing high -end sports and high value -added have increased significantly.

In addition to refrigerators, bicycles and other products, China's performance is also very eye -catching in high -tech products. According to the Ministry of Commerce, in the first half of this year, high -tech and high value -added products exported rapidly, and the exports of solar batteries, lithium batteries, and integrated circuits increased by 95.4%, 75.3%, and 16.4%, respectively. The complete industrial system is our confidence. In the past ten years, the added value of my country's manufacturing industry has increased from 16.98 trillion yuan in 2012 to 31.4 trillion yuan in 2021, accounting for a global proportion from 22.5%to nearly 30%, and continued to maintain its status in the world's largest manufacturing power.

Thanks to the major results of coordinating the prevention and control of the epidemic and economic and social development, China's industrial chain supply chain supply chain is safe and stable, and the toughness has been further improved. It is understood that through the joint efforts of various departments and related parties and related parties, my country's manufacturing industry chain has maintained a safe and stable operation. In the first half of the year, the value -added of manufacturing increased by 2.8%year -on -year, of which the added value of high -tech manufacturing industry increased by 9.6%year -on -year. The toughness of the chain supply chain is further improved.

The global energy market has intensified, and Europe is facing a new round of energy crisis

Winter is approaching, and Europe is facing a new round of energy crisis.

Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. said on September 2 that "Beixi-1" will completely stop the gas transmission due to the failure of multiple equipment failure until the failure is eliminated. Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that the "Beixi-1" stopped gas transmission was completely caused by sanctions from Western national camps including the EU. Russian President Putin said on September 16 that if the European Union wants to obtain more natural gas, it should terminate sanctions and allow the "Beixi-2" natural gas pipeline.

In the past year, the global energy market has intensified, and two rounds of energy crisis broke out, and Europe is in "stormy eyes." The first round of energy crisis that broke out in the winter of 2021, mainly due to imbalances of energy supply and demand. In late February 2022, the Ukrainian crisis broke out with the United States and the West imposed a comprehensive sanctions on Russia to detonate the second round of global energy crisis.

For the first time in the UK for the first time, it has purchased liquefied natural gas from Australia (picture source: Visual China)

"Last year, more than 50%of the natural gas supply from Europe came from Russia. After the reduction of supply during this time, this proportion has now dropped to 10%. Under the large gap, Europe now must first solve the problem of winter." Chinese social sciences. "Chinese social sciences." Chinese social sciences. Wang Yongzhong, director and researcher of the International Commodity Research Office of the Institute of World Economic and Politics of the Academy of Economics and Political Science, believes that Europe wants a large amount of liquefied natural gas from the United States, Australia, Qatar, Algeria and other countries to replace Russian pipeline gas, which is difficult to achieve in the short term.

"Heating and power generation are the two main uses of European natural gas." Wang Yongzhong said that in order to cope with the crisis of sharp decrease in natural gas supply, Europe can only adopt some restartment of some coal power, delay exit nuclear power, use firewood and other biomass fuels, and reduce production and life. Energy consumption and other methods. "It's not difficult to understand why my country's electric blankets, heater, etc. are selling in Europe."

"Russia and Europe rely on the energy field to depend on each other, and Europe has the highest dependence on Russia's natural gas." Talking about the roots of the European energy crisis, Wang Yongzhong said that Russia has abundant energy reserves and European energy endowment is scarce. Europe is the most important energy export market in Russia. Russia is the most important source of energy imports in Europe, and the two have long been in mutual benefit. In addition, Europe is more aggressive in energy issues. For example, in the past, coal power, shutting down nuclear power, blindly relying on natural gas power generation, strong investment can renewable energy, and also made its ability to resist risks insufficient.

In recent years, the sanctions between the United States and the West have mainly adopted measures such as prohibition or reduction of imports, prohibited equipment and technology exports, restricting or prohibiting financial services, withdrawal or prohibiting new investment, sanctions ports and shipping companies, etc. Essence Therefore, on the one hand, there are a large amount of excess energy supply, and on the other hand, the serious shortage of energy supply in European countries, and then the rag of international energy benchmark prices rising rapidly and the great discount of Russian energy prices coexist.

Looking at our country, "rich coal, poverty oil and less gas" are the basic features of our energy endowment. Among them, oil, natural gas, and coal dependence on the outside world is about 73%, 43%, and 10%, respectively. At present, international fossil energy prices are high, increasing China's energy import cost.

To cope with the current complex external energy environment, Wang Yongzhong believes that it is necessary to attach great importance to the safety of energy supply, give full play to the guarantee function of coal, increase the production of high -quality coal, reduce the dependence of external energy, and continue to encourage Chinese enterprises to invest in overseas oil and gas assets overseas oil and gas assets ; Maintain the stable scale of China and Russia's energy trade, and pay attention to potential investment opportunities for Russian oil and gas assets.

Today, the world is in a large change in a century. The international order is experiencing a new round of changes and adjustments. The unstable and uncertainty faced by the global economy is more prominent. The task of power is even more urgent. Whenever we are concentrating on our own, it is the key to our adaptation bureau, a new machine, and a new bureau.
