Japan's electromechanical enterprises have little influence on China's imports away from the earthquake zone.

Since Japan's electromechanical industry is the largest in the world, and the electromechanical industry occupies an important part of Sino-Japanese trade, the impact of the Japanese earthquake on the electromechanical industry has drawn attention.  

Mei Xinyu, an associate researcher at the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said that China imports a large number of Japanese high-tech products, upstream intermediate products and equipment. The import volume of electromechanical, audio-visual equipment, its parts and accessories was as high as US$848.127 billion, accounting for 48.0% of China's total imports from Japan.

Although the electromechanical industry accounts for a high proportion of China's total imports from Japan, most people in the industry are optimistic about the impact of the earthquake. Shi Mingrong, chairman of the Shanghai Energy Conservation Association, believes that because the earthquake zone is located in the northeastern part of Japan, and important mechanical and electrical enterprises such as Toshiba, Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric are not widely distributed here, the impact will not be too great.

Shen Leiwei, director of the business planning department of Fuji Electric Shanghai Branch, said that electromechanical enterprises are widely distributed in eastern and central Japan. Among them, Japan’s Central Minister Nono, is a developed area of ​​Japan’s precision machinery manufacturing industry, and the motor industry accounts for 40% of its industrial output. In addition, the semiconductor industry is mainly distributed in western Japan, close to the East China Sea region. Among them, Kyushu is Japan's important semiconductor industry base and is not located in the earthquake zone.

At present, some domestic electromechanical enterprises still rely heavily on Japanese imports, such as injection molding machines, aluminum presses and other mechanical and electrical equipment are imported from Japan.

Shi Mingrong believes that Japan's domestic electromechanical industry is less damaged, and the impact on the Chinese market will not be too great. Even if there is a shortage of supply, it is a short-term phenomenon.
