In recent years, the United States has imposed high tariffs on Chinese goods exported to the United States in the name of "national security" and "industrial protection", among which steel products and related derivatives (including welding mesh and electric welding mesh) are listed as key restricted objects. According to statistics, the tariff rate of some welding mesh products has soared from 13% to 125%, which directly led to a surge in the export costs of companies to the United States and a shock to the stability of the global supply chain. Such unilateral policies not only violate the WTO multilateral trade rules, but will also aggravate global inflationary pressure, delay infrastructure construction and carbon neutrality, and run counter to the collaborative spirit of "a community with a shared future for mankind".
1. Trade barriers: "stumbling blocks" of the global industrial chain
The true cost and value of Made in China
Yangzhe welding mesh manufacturing industry provides global customers with cost-effective solutions with large-scale production, intelligent upgrades and strict ISO/CE international certification systems. Taking galvanized wire mesh for sale as an example, our company's products have reached European and American standards in core indicators such as corrosion resistance and tensile strength, while the price is only 60%-70% of local products. The US tariff policy deliberately ignores market rules, which is essentially a "politicized distortion" of free trade.
The chain reaction of "hurting the enemy 800 and hurting oneself 1,000"
The US construction industry and agricultural fencing sector rely on Chinese welded mesh as much as 40%. The tariff cost transfer has caused the procurement cost of its local companies to increase by 15%-20%, and infrastructure projects in many states have been forced to be postponed. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) pointed out that for every 10% increase in trade barriers, the global GDP growth rate will shrink by 0.5%, and developing countries will suffer particularly serious damage.
2. Breakthrough: "Resilient Innovation" of Chinese Enterprises
Faced with an unfair trade environment, Chinese private manufacturers choose to build core competitiveness through technological upgrading, green transformation and market diversification to create irreplaceable value for global customers:
Technological breakthrough: from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing"
Investing in AI quality inspection system to reduce product defect rate to below 0.02%, exceeding the EU EN 10080 standard;
Developing lightweight alloy wire mesh including wire mesh bird deterrent, increasing strength by 30%, reducing carbon emissions by 25%, helping overseas customers cope with ESG supervision;
Building a digital supply chain platform to achieve 72-hour rapid response to global orders and break regional barriers.
Market reconstruction: opening up a "new blue ocean"
Deepening the layout of the "Belt and Road": customizing high-temperature and wind-resistant welding mesh for projects such as Southeast Asian railways and Middle East new energy parks, with exports increasing by 48% year-on-year in 2023;
Localized service upgrade: setting up regional storage centers in Africa and South America to provide on-site welding training and after-sales technical support to reduce customers' overall costs.
Green commitment: walking with global carbon neutrality
Promote the "photovoltaic + welding mesh" integrated solution to help European farms build renewable energy fence systems;
Jointly formulate the "Welding Mesh Circular Production Standard" with international organizations to promote the recycling rate of scrap steel to exceed 95%.
3. Our Declaration: Respond to Challenges with Progress
Trade barriers cannot stop the power of technological innovation and market demand. China Welding Mesh Enterprises solemnly promise:
Reject price wars and focus on high value-added products: R&D investment will double in the next three years, focusing on cutting-edge fields such as aerospace-grade special welding mesh and intelligent induction safety fences;
Co-build a transparent supply chain: Introduce blockchain technology to achieve full-process traceability, allowing global buyers to witness "Chinese quality";
Adhere to the principle of fair trade: Jointly launch the "Global Infrastructure Materials Alliance" with ASEAN and AU partners to resist unilateral hegemony through multilateral cooperation.
Conclusion: The world needs connections, not barriers
The birth of mesh fencing for sale is to make buildings stronger, land more efficient, and borders safer. While some countries are busy building "tariff walls", Chinese manufacturers choose to be more open and use every precision welded mesh to connect trust and cooperation. We firmly believe that only by removing trade barriers and returning to technological competition and cooperation can the giant ship of globalization sail through the wind and waves and reach the other side of common prosperity.
