Macq-ro insights Factory Asia at risk: the numbers President Trump is attempting to roll back the ICT revolution’s 30-year impact on

multinationals (MNCs) sliced and diced supply chains, and to bring factories

back to the US. To succeed, economic incentives have to be altered.

Dramatic developments on US trade policy, the Budget and tax reform are

expected. Whilst attention is focussed currently on the potential for import tariffs,

the upcoming legislation for a radical reduction in US corporate tax rates (from

35% to say 20%) would also contribute to a revival in US-based manufacturing.

Whilst it is not clear yet how President Trump will proceed on trade, candidate

Trump provided a detailed roadmap in a speech on 28 June 2016, pages 2-3.

We believe Factory Asia is facing its most serious challenge in decades.

A 45% tariff on Chinese imports into the US would result in an estimated 14%

volume decline in Chinese imports. US domestic production would replace half;

other countries would supply the balance. The impact on US GDP would be

marginal, possibly positive. The real damage arrives with retaliation, pages 4-6.

A 20% tariff on all US imports, tax reform’s possible border tax adjustment,

would result in an estimated 4% volume decline in total US imports.

Whilst the 45% tariff scenario results in only a 1.3% volume decline in total US

imports, there is a high risk of immediate retaliation, in our opinion. The second

scenario is likely to face a WTO challenge first.

Profits are highly vulnerable, reflecting the need to absorb part of the tariff

imposition, as well as the negative volume effect. An analysis of the textiles and

footwear sector by Terence Chang et al, Quantifying the US border tax impact,

estimated base case profit declines of 39% for HK/China footwear companies

and -18% for apparel companies. Given their extensive engagement in Factory

Asia, we judge many Japanese MNCs to be at risk. Rather than Asian exporters,

it is safer for investors to seek MNCs that are regionally self-sufficient.

Candidate Trump on trade Whilst it is not clear yet how President Trump will proceed, candidate Trump provided a detailed roadmap in a speech on 28 June 2016.

The source of the potential 45% tariff on Chinese imports is explained on page 6.

28 June 2016, Pennsylvania, Trump’s speech on trade, selected quotes:

Hillary Clinton unleashed a trade war against the American worker when she supported one

terrible trade deal after another – from NAFTA to China to South Korea. A Trump

administration will end that war by getting a fair deal for the American people. The era of

economic surrender will finally be over.

Our politicians have aggressively pursued a policy of globalization, moving our jobs, our

wealth and our factories to Mexico and overseas. Globalization has made the financial elite,

who donate to politicians, very, very wealthy. I used to be one of them. I hate to say it, but I

used to be one. But it has left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache.

When subsidized foreign steel is dumped into our markets, threatening our factories, the

politicians have proven, folks, have proven they do nothing.

We allowed foreign countries to subsidize their goods, devalue their currencies, violate their

agreements and cheat in every way imaginable, and our politicians did nothing about it.

Trillions of our dollars and millions of our jobs flowed overseas as a result.

Today, we import nearly US$800bn more in goods than we export. We can’t continue to do

that. This is not some natural disaster, it’s a political disaster and politician-made disaster.

Very simple. And it can be corrected and we can correct it fast when we have people with the

right thinking.

And listen to this. The first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, warned that, quote “the

abandonment of the protective policy by the American government will produce want and ruin

among our people.” He understood it much better than our current politicians, that’s why he

was Abraham Lincoln, I guess.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to declare our economic independence once again. I’ll do it.

No doubt about it. Not even a little doubt. It also means reversing two of the worst legacies of

the Clinton years. At the center of the catastrophe are two trade deals…

First, the North American Free Trade Agreement, or the disaster called NAFTA.

Second, China’s entry into the World Trade Organization.

China’s entrance into the WTO has enabled the greatest job theft in the history of our country

I have been talking about for many years. And you know what? Nobody listened. But they are

listening now. Almost half of our entire manufacturing trade deficit in goods with the world is

the result of trade with China.

Trade reform and the negotiation of great trade deals is the quickest way to bring our jobs

back to our country.

A Trump administration will change our failed trade policies, and I mean quickly. Here are

seven steps I would pursue right away to bring back our jobs.

Number one, I am going to withdraw the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership,

which has not yet been ratified.

I am going to appoint the toughest and smartest, and I know them all, trade negotiators to

fight on behalf of American workers.

I am going to direct the secretary of commerce to identify every violation of trade agreements

a foreign country is currently using to harm you, the American worker. I will then direct all

appropriate agencies to use every tool under American and international law to end these

abuses. And abuse is the right word.

Number four. I'm going to tell our NAFTA partners that I intend to immediately renegotiate the

terms of that agreement to get a better deal by a lot. Not just a little, by a lot for our workers.

And if they don't agree to a renegotiation, which they might not because they are so used to

having their own way -- not with Trump they won't have their own way. Then, I will submit

under Article 2205 of the NAFTA Agreement that America intends to withdraw from the deal.

Number five. I'm going to instruct my treasury secretary to label China a currency

manipulator, which should have been done years ago. Any country that devalues their

currency in order to take unfair advantage of the United States, which is many countries, will

be met with sharply. And that includes tariffs and taxes.

Number six, I'm going to instruct the U.S. trade representative to bring trade cases against

China, both in this country and at the WTO. China's unfair subsidy behavior is prohibited by

the terms of its entrance to the WTO and I intend to enforce those rules and regulations. And

basically, I intend to enforce the agreements from all countries, including China.

Seven, if China does not stop its illegal activities, including its theft of American trade secrets,

I will use every lawful -- this is very easy. This is so easy. I love saying this. I will use every

lawful presidential power to remedy trade disputes, including the application of tariffs

consistent with Section 201 and 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, and Section 232 of the Trade

Expansion Act of 1962.

And when they say trade expansion, they're talking about other countries, they're not talking

about us because there is no expansion. They get the expansion, we get the joblessness.

That's the way it works. It's not going to happen anymore. President Reagan deployed similar

trade measures when motorcycle and semiconductor imports threatened U.S. industry. I

remember. His tariff on Japanese motorcycles was 45 percent and his tariff to shield

America's semiconductor industry was 100 percent, and that had a big impact, folks. A big

impact.

A new era of prosperity will finally begin. America will be independent once more.

Independent once more. Doesn't that sound great? Under a Trump presidency, the American

worker will finally have a president who will protect them and fight for them. We will stand up

to trade cheating. Cheating. Cheaters, that's what they are. Cheaters. We will stand up to

trade cheating anywhere and everywhere it threatens the American job.

Will President Trump implement Candidate Trump’s policies?

Following the US election on 8 November 2016, financial markets embraced the “Reflation

trade” and as shown in Fig 1 and Fig 2, both the real yield, the growth proxy, and the inflation

compensation element continued rising until late December.

However since late December, growth expectations have fallen, whilst inflationary

expectations have continued to rise: a combination consistent with the bond market

discounting a higher probability of protectionist policies being implemented.

Tariffs: concepts and numbers The following uses the methodology laid in out the paper Trump’s Tariffs: A dissent of 5 April

2016 by J.W. Mason.

A 45% tariff on Chinese imports

Assumption #1 Chinese exported/US importer pass-through rate: 40%

So a 45% tariff leads to a US consumer price rise of 18% (45 times 0.4). This is the split

between how much of the tariff is absorbed by the producers, importers in squeezed profit

margins, and how much is paid by consumers.

As an offset to squeezed RMB profit margins, another effect could be a fall in the value of the

RMB versus the US$, which reduces the Chinese cost of production in US$ terms. Please

see assumption #4 below.

Assumption #2 Price elasticity of US consumer demand to Chinese goods is 0.8

So an 18% increase in price leads to a 14% decrease in Chinese imports. This assumption

and the next one are about how the consumer reacts: do they pay the higher price which

leads to a fall in spending on other goods and services (real incomes fall), do they switch to

alternative imports at the old price (GDP neutral), or do they switch to domestically produced

goods boosting US growth (on a variety of assumptions)?

The import price elasticity tends to be lower the greater the complexity of the product e.g.

capital goods and/or intangible aspects such as brand. We assume China’s exports to the US

are mainly simple consumer goods.

Source: Macquarie Research, March 2017

Assumption #3 Substitution 50% domestic, 50% foreign non-China

For simplicity, let’s assume these are supplied at the same price, but are of a lower quality.

This assumption gives the US total import price elasticity (0.5).

The following table gives an indication of the variation of estimates around this assumption.

Assumption #4 The RMB remains broadly flat with the US$ in year one

As noted in assumption #3 other non-US countries are taking market share from China. This

would be expected to put downward pressure on the RMB exchange rate. We assume the

PBoC intervenes to offset this. We believe Chinese policymakers are keen to manage

exchange rate expectations, and to avoid depreciation expectations becoming entrenched.

Some additional implications

1) The 45% tariff on Chinese imports: the impact on US household income, as

measured by the increase in the US import bill, Fig 5.

Note: the import substitution, US production does not include multiplier effects in this table, i.e. the need to build new factories equipped with machinery

2) The China tariff impact on the US CPI

0.19 (China’s current share of US imports) times

0.15 (gross imports to US GDP) times

0.86 (remaining Chinese imports) times

18% (pass-through of tariff to CPI)

= 0.44% (Strictly, this measures the price impact on GDP, and thus we are assuming that this

flows through one-to-one to the 70% of GDP which is consumption)

Assumption #5: the multiplier effect of a fall in real incomes, perhaps compounded by

an asset market effect: a US income multiplier of 1.5 over two years

3) The impact on US GDP

Fig 6 The 45% China tariff impact on US GDP: Marginal, possibly positive

Negative US incomes are reduced by 0.23% of GDP (the increase in the import bill, Fig 5, grey highlights) multiplied by the 1.5 income multiplier = a loss of 0.35% of GDP

Positive Import substitution - imports from China are about 2.8% of US GDP times 7% (0.5 times 14%, the amount of reduced Chinese imports substituted by domestic production) = 0.20% of GDP. There is an income multiplier on this too, 1.5 times = a gain of 0.30% of GDP (*)

Positive In addition, US tax revenues go up as the 45% tariff is levied on the remaining Chinese imports: 0.19 times 0.15 times 0.86 times 45% = 1.1% of GDP. This could be used by the US government to increase US public sector expenditures or cut other taxes, stimulating the economy

Note: (*) Please note that import substitution, domestic production takes into account the current resource constraints of the US economy through the assumption of a US income multiplier of 1.5 over two years. This incorporates the capex expenditures, the resultant inflation consequences and any growth dampening policy response by the US Fed. Source: Macquarie Research, March 2017

Real damage arrives with retaliation (at the same 45% tariff rate)

US exports to China are 0.7% of US GDP, and the pass-through rate is likely to be higher on

more complex goods, say 60%. The price elasticity is also probably higher, as for a relatively

poor China, US products are likely more discretionary (Chinese consumers are more price-

sensitive). Let’s say that there is a 1.5 price elasticity of Chinese demand to US exports. 45%

times 0.6 times 1.5 times (equals a 40.5% decline in US exports to China) times 0.7 times the

1.5 US income multiplier = a loss of 0.43% of US GDP.

The source of the 45% tariff number

Peter Navarro is the director of the National Trade Council. The National Trade Council will

be a newly formed body under the Trump Administration to “advise the President on

innovative strategies in trade negotiations, coordinate with other agencies to assess US

manufacturing capabilities and the defence industrial base, and help match unemployed

American workers with new opportunities in the skilled manufacturing sector.”

On 21 July 2016, the LA Times published an Op-ed by Peter Navarro: “Trump's 45% tariff on

Chinese goods is perfectly calculated”. To quote:

Trump’s suggestion of a 45% tariff on Chinese imports would, by my calculations, be an

appropriate level. More than 10 years ago, I began analyzing exactly how China’s state-run

industries significantly undercut foreign manufacturers and found that lower labor costs

accounted for only 39% of China’s price advantage. Five other unfair trade practices — the

aforementioned illegal export subsidies and currency manipulation along with intellectual

property theft and lax worker safety and environmental regulations — are the bigger story.

Fig 7 comes from Peter Navarro’s referred to 2006 paper: The Economics of the “China

Price”

Fig 7 Relative contributions of the eight China Price drivers, %, total 100%

1 Wages 39.41 2 Subsidies 16.71 3 Network clustering 16.02 4 Undervalued currency 11.44 5 Counterfeiting & Piracy 8.63 6 FDI 3.09 7 Health & Safety 2.44 8 Environmental 2.26

Source: The Economics of the “China Price” by Peter Navarro (2006), Macquarie Research, March 2017

Wages, network clustering and (possibly) FDI are acknowledged as largely “fair” advantages,

and ignoring the undervalued currency, the remaining four items highlighted in grey add to

30%. It appears that the overall estimates are still believed to be broadly valid. To quote Peter

Navarro’s 21 July 2016 Op-ed again:

When I added up the effects of such practices in China in 2006, they accounted for 43.7% of

the artificially low price of Chinese manufactured goods — almost exactly the amount of

Trump’s proposed tariffs. In the decade since my study was conducted, China’s cheating has

only worsened and become more institutionalized. For example, the bipartisan Commission

on the Theft of American Intellectual Property in 2013 estimated that the U.S. loses more than

$300 billion a year to intellectual property theft and blames China for 50% to 80% of the

problem.

A 20% across the board tariff (the possible border tax adjustment)

For a fuller discussion of this, please see David Doyle’s 19 January 2017 Fortress America: Buy America! Trade policy is great again.

Whilst the same methodology is used, and the same 40% pass-through to US prices is assumed, the price elasticity of US consumer demand to all imports is lower, say 0.5 (versus 0.8 for Chinese imports), and domestic substitution in this scenario is 100%.

A 20% tariff times a 0.40 pass-through (so an 8% increase in import prices) times a 0.5 price

elasticity of US consumer demand implies a 4% drop in import volumes. Imports are 15.5% of

US GDP, so this is equivalent to a 0.6% of US GDP.

The exchange rate assumption needs to be made explicit. Unlike the managed RMB

exchange rate, the other major trading partners of the US have floating exchange rates.

For simplification, we’ve embedded the exchange rate move into the pass-through rate. So a

40% pass-through rate implies that 60% is absorbed by profit margins and exchange rate

movements combined. By way of reference, 93% of all US imports are priced in the US$.

In our opinion, President Trump, wearied by the implications of the US being the ‘consumer of

last resort’, wants to rebalance the US economy, and bring factories back to the US.

This implies that President Trump probably focusses more on the trade balance (goods only)

than the current account which includes the services balance. Fig.9 contrasts the trade

balance positions of Factory Asia and the US. In line with other advanced economies, the US

has a growing surplus on its services balance.

The trade surplus of Factory Asia is now materially bigger than in the years leading to the

Global Financial Crisis (GFC). We believe that this ‘savings surplus’ was one of the main

drivers of the decline in global real interest rates, a contributor to the debt build-up in

advanced economies’ private sectors prior to the GFC.

Ten years later this global ‘fault line’ still exists.

Factory Asia The discussion that follows focusses on a possible 45% tariff on Chinese exports. As the

above has illustrated this is a serious situation for Factory Asia. We need to go further than

the 14% fall in China’s export volumes to the US to include:

1) The country sources of the value-added in China’s exports. There is an East Asian

integrated supply chain, that often culminates in the final assembly in China before

shipment to the US

2) An allowance for the countries that might supply the substitute imports to the US.

To aid in judgements, there is a more detailed history of the evolution of Factory Asia from

page 14. First, we capture the essence of the situation on this and the next page.

A visual history of the emergence of Factory Asia

As the joint WTO & Ide-Jetro paper Trade patterns and global value chains in East Asia

notes, supplying demand in the US from East Asia began in the 1960s with mass

consumption and mass marketing. In 1970 Japan led the way, with Hong Kong the leading

Asian Tiger at that time, Fig 12. By 1990, Fig 13, South Korea and China had begun to

emerge, but Japan remained the dominant exporter to the US market.

Whilst from 1990 the narrative remains in country terms, it becomes increasingly misleading.

Whilst previously Japanese companies were predominantly producing and exporting from

Japan, now begins an aggressive slicing and dicing of their supply chains via FDI throughout

East Asia.

Fig 14 shows the situation on the eve of China’s December 2001 WTO entry. China had

already grown in importance relative to Japan, but as pages 14-23 explain, this reflected the

relocation of Japanese final assembly plants to China at an accelerating pace since 1992. In

terms of the source of East Asian exports to the US, in 2009, at the time of the Global

Financial Crisis (GFC), China had become dominant, Fig 15.

Fig 16 has the most recent data.

Identifying the country of origin of the value added in goods imported into the US (rather than

attributing everything to the final exporting country) is possible through using Input-Output

tables, the topic of the next section.

Fig 17 is one proxy for the importance of Japanese and other multinationals (MNCs). Please

note that number of Japanese affiliates in China that import and export at 2,260 compares to

the total of the US, Germany, Taiwan, South Korea and France of 2,207. As financial centres,

we chose to exclude HK and Singapore in this comparison. Please also note that Japan’s

affiliates are extensively represented across other East Asia nations (grey highlights).

Sources of Value Added in Gross exports Conventional trade statistics measure the value of commerce between two countries, rather

than attributing the value-added in the goods. This has become increasingly important as

supply chains have sliced and diced activities. The following draws on the IMF 2013 working

paper Export performance in Europe: What do we know from supply links? By Jesmin

Rahman & Tianli Zhao. The vibrancy of Factory Europe is perhaps underappreciated.

The value-added of gross exports is subdivided by the location of value-added (domestic,

foreign) and for domestic value-added by the stage of production, Fig 18. Components 1 and

2 are stand-alone exports whilst components 3, 4 and 5 are parts of supply chains.

Domestic value-added intermediate exports, components 3 and 4, processed further in to

exports are “upstream”.

Component 5, the foreign-value-added going into final exports is “downstream”. The higher

the percentage the more likely the country is the downstream final assembler.

Fig 18 Decomposition of gross exports into five value-added components

Note: From the IMF working paper Export performance in Europe: What do we know from supply links? By Jesmin Rahman & Tianli Zhao (2013) which draws on Koopman, Powers, Wang & Wei (2011): Give credit where credit is due, Tracing value-added in global production chains

Source: IMF, Macquarie Research, March 2017

Fig.19 has the available data, comparing 2008 versus 1995. Please note that for Asia-Pacific

countries the slicing and dicing of MNC supply chains has led to:

1) A lower share of domestic value-added in gross exports, and a higher share of

foreign value-added (shaded in light brown). Japan has gone from 6.7% to 19.8%,

China from 17.5% to 31.4%, South Korea from 26.9% to 43.9% and Taiwan from

35.9% to 48.6%.

2) A relative increase in component 3, the export of intermediates which are processed

and then re-exported to third countries, shaded in pale red. Japan has gone from

14.3% to 21.1%, China from a modest 8.9% to a still modest 11.8%, South Korea

from 13.5% to 16.2%, and Taiwan from 10.4% to an impressive 20.8%.

3) The US and Germany are highlighted in pale green for comparison. Please note the

relatively high component 4 scores (exported intermediates that return home) in both

cases, but especially the US. This shows the importance of NAFTA trade.

4) Summing all three supply-chain components (3, 4 and 5), and comparing 1995 with

2008, the US has gone from 33.0% to 41.7%, Germany from 35.3% to 48.4% and

Japan from 22.6% to 42.2%, for increases of 8.7%, 13.1% and 19.6% respectively.

Whilst Japan has evolved the most rapidly since 1995, Germany remains the most

advanced.

Japan & Factory Asia Multinationals (MNCs) deployed the ICT revolution over the 20 years up until 2008, and the

Global Financial Crisis, into what many call “Globalisation’s second unbundling”, the slicing

up of supply chains around the world. MNCs have been the primary transmission mechanism,

and have been rewarded by the increased global share of income going to capital. For more

analysis, please see the 20 May 2016 Macq-ro insights: from labour to capital.

Fig 20 comes from the February 2007 ADB working paper: Managing the Noodle Bowl: The

fragility of East Asian regionalism by Richard Baldwin. Richard Baldwin’s new book The Great

Convergence: Information technology and the new globalization (2016) is recommended.

As noted by Richard Baldwin and Javier Lopez-Gonzales in their 2012 Supply-chain trade: A

portrait of global patterns and several testable hypotheses there was a demand pull element

into EM economies as well as a MNC supply-push seeking lower labour costs:

Developing nations that had eschewed trade liberalisation for decades, suddenly embraced

openness that facilitated international production sharing. They slashed tariffs unilaterally

(especially on intermediates), signing Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs, which are mostly

unilateral concessions to rich-nation firms seeking to invest), signing Regional Trade

Agreements (RTAs) with ‘deep’ provisions that are pro-supply-chain (e.g. assurances for

intellectual property, capital movements, inward investments, competition policy, business

visas, etc.).

Please see Fig 21.

The result has been regional supply chains built around Factory Asia, Factory North America

and Factory Europe.

Headquarter economies (Japan, US, Germany), those with advanced technology and high

wages, have outsourced slices of their supply chains to factory economies, those with low

wages.

Exceptions to this image include China, which has progressed to exporting low-tech industrial

intermediates, and Japan, whose high tech industrial intermediates are also exported to

Factory North America and Factory Europe.

This has important consequences for estimating the economic impact of protectionism.

The following pages focus on the evolution of Factory Asia, drawing on the reports below.

In terms of the share of Japanese trade, it is only China that has shifted materially from 1988

to now. As a share of Japanese exports China’s share has grown from 3% to 23%, whilst

China’s share of Japanese imports has grown from 5% to 21%.

Developing in tandem, Fig 27 shows the waves of Japanese FDI into China from 1980 to

2011, and the related market opening policies (Fig 28). For example, the middle 1990’s was a

period of major realised investment, following the 1994 reforms.

Fig 27 also has data on the number of FDI cases into China each year, and with cases

consistently measured in thousands, it reflects that even Japan’s SME sector embraced the

lower wage cost opportunity in China.

Japan’s companies began to internationalise from the late 1980s. Fig 29, and this provides a

context for the China FDI waves of Fig 27.

The US and EU have dominated M&A activity (Fig 29, lower panel) which is included in total

FDI flows (Fig 29, upper panel) when at least a 10% stake is acquired. FDI flows to China

have been overwhelmingly greenfield investment until 2015.

Major policies July 1979: Foreign investment granted

legal status in China 1980: 4 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) (Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, Xiamen) established 1983: Regulations for the Implementation of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Joint Ventures using China and Foreign Investment promulgated, further liberalising domestic market and clarifying business environment 1984: 14 SEZs established in coastal cities

1985: 12 of the 14 SEZs designated as Technology Promotion Zones to expedite transfer of technology. Development Triangles including the Yangtze River delta, Pearl River delta, and Min Nan region in Fujian were opened to foreign investors. 1986: Favourable regulations and provisions established to promote export-oriented JVs and JVS using advanced technologies. Wholly foreign-owned enterprises allowed. '22 Article Provisions' gave foreign enterprises preferential treatment, with freedom to import inputs, right to retain/swap foreign exchange, privileged access to utilities, etc.

1994: New proposals to attract FDI into specific sectors to match domestic industrial objectives: agriculture, hydropower, communications, energy and raw material sectors. Tightened procedures for contract approvals and foreign enterprise registrations. Increased penalties if agreements unfulfilled.

1995: Provisional Guidelines for Foreign Investment Projects took effect. Priority given to FDI in agriculture, energy, transportation, telecommunications, basic raw materials, and high-technology industries. Those advancing into the central and central west region strongly encouraged. Guiding Catalogue of Foreign Investment Projects categorised investments into four categories: Encouraged, Restricted, Prohibited and Permitted.

Dec 2001: China joins the WTO. 2007: Third update to the Catalogue of Industries for Guiding Foreign Investment. Encouraged sectors include high-tech, equipment manufacturing, and new material production industries. Areas such as recycling industry, clean production, renewable energy, ecological environment protection, and comprehensive utilisation of resource encouraged.

Fig 34 is an updated (from 2011 to 2014) table from Shujiro Urata’s Japan’s trade policy with

Asia, an article in the Japan MOF Public Policy Review Vol.10, No.1 (2014). As he notes, the

commodity composition of Japan’s exports to East Asia has been quite stable, reflecting

Japan’s comparative advantage in high-tech products such as electrical machinery, general

machinery, and the high-tech materials included within chemicals.

Shujiro Urata notes, however, that Japan’s import commodity composition from East Asian

countries has changed since 1990. While the share represented by products using natural

resources (food products, wood pulp, petroleum/coal products) has decreased, the share of

machine products has risen greatly (highlighted in pale red below). We believe this is further

evidence of the sliced and diced supply chains of Japanese MNCs.

Factory Asia and the ‘Smile-curve’ Of the articles noted in Fig 22 , the Portrait of factory Asia: Production network in Asia and its

implication for growth – the ‘smile curve’ (2014) by Richard Baldwin, Tadashi Ito, Hitoshi Sato

is especially interesting, in our opinion.

The ‘smile-curve’ introduced by Stan Shin, the founder and CEO of Acer, in the early 1990s is

a belief that the share of value-added in manufactured goods is shifting to post-fabrication

services, Fig 39. The research article then seeks ‘smile-curves’ at the economy level, by

tracking the evolution of value-added in the primary, manufacturing and service sectors, to

the country’s exports. As Fig 40 illustrates, be it the HQ-economy of Japan or the developing

factory-economy of the Philippines, neither had a ‘smile-curve’ over 1985-1995, whilst both

did over 1995-2005. The article demonstrates a similar pattern for other East Asian nations,

as well as across industries.

However, the above ignored the country-source of the value-added. For example, the share

of domestic value added in services in Thailand’s machinery sector exports fell from 94% in

1985 to 40% in 2005. In Japan’s machinery sector case, the corresponding numbers were

99% and 89%. With the own-nation share declining everywhere, it is the degree that is

important.

Thus, a great deal of the value-added shift towards services across countries and sectors has

involved international outsourcing. Please note the hierarchy from a relative modest decline in

the case of Japan, to extensive declines in the Philippines.

Lower trend growth in East Asia As we noted on the front cover, we believe Factory Asia is about to face its most serious

challenge in decades. Rather than East Asia decoupling from developments in the US,

“America First” is the US claiming, at the margin, an increased share of a smaller global

whole, in our opinion.

Lower trend growth in East Asia appears likely as the contribution from capital deepening

becomes less. As one proxy indicator, the following chart looks at inward FDI inflows into

China and the US. The overall number includes M&A transactions where a stake of at least

10% is taken. Greenfield investments exclude M&A and are the two lines at the bottom of the

chart. The trends are interesting with China waning, whilst FDI greenfield inflows into the US

have been steady to increasing.

FDI flows reflect the political networks utilised by MNCs to make longer-term investment

decisions. In an increasingly politicalised global economy, we regard this as valuable

knowledge. The 11 January 2017 Macq-ro insights: Following the new smart money identified

four key FDI trends that are expected to persist over the next three years:

1) A 40% shrinkage of inward FDI from the 2015 high. UNCTAD estimates that 2016

saw a 10-15% decline

2) Relative strength in flows to advanced economies versus EM economies

3) Pronounced strength in flows to India versus China, reflecting absolute growth and

material YoY declines respectively

4) Pronounced weakness in FDI flows to commodity-exporting economies

The 14 February 2017 The Global Macro Outlook: Policy shifts in the US has more. As

capital deepening contribution to EM economies potential growth for some time.

The following four charts provide some context. The blue/black line in Fig 45 is vulnerable to

capital deepening contribution by 0.2% pa, but still believe the estimate is vulnerable to a

further reduction. Our forecasts through 2020 are shown in Fig 55, and are for East Asian

growth of 4.7-4.9%. There is downside risk depending on the announcement and

implementation of President Trump’s policies.

Trend growth rates are the anchor around which forecasts oscillate

The integrated export supply-chain of Factory Asia means that any fall in US imports from

China has negative spill-over consequences across East Asia.

East Asia decoupling is not supported by the data. The January 2017 ADB working paper

#506 “Decoupling Asia revisited” by Cyn-Young Park made the following observations:

Deepening trade and financial linkages within and beyond the region are strengthening

expectation that emerging East Asia (EEA) will gain greater macroeconomic independence

from the US economy and become more resilient to global trade and financial shocks.

However, findings of this study suggest no evidence to support Asia’s decoupling from the

world economy, both structurally and cyclically.

The post-crisis economic recovery has been based on strong trade and financial openness,

but deeper economic integration in EEA through increased trade and financial openness has

led to not only greater economic integration within the region, but also to the region’s

integration with the global economy. While development of regional value chains through

vertical specialization has led to increased productivity and opportunities to move up the

value chain, expansion of Asia’s trade and investment links has seen the region remain

structurally linked to global final demand. EEA has become more, not less, integrated with the

global economy and as a result, the impact of a global shock, whether related to trade or

financial markets, will be greater. Further, deeper regional economic integration can help

propagate a shock across economies of the region.

The ADB working paper has an extensive bibliography on the East Asian export supply chain,

and the decoupling thesis.

Our senior China economist, Larry Hu, in his 17 February 2017 China Macro: US marketing

feedback: 9 questions comments as follows:

But if we have to give a view, we think that it’s not very likely for the US to impose a 45% tariff

on all Chinese products. It’s likely to be more targeted with lower rates. Suppose it causes

China’s exports to the US to drop by the same magnitude as 2009 (down 12.5%), the largest

drop in history, China’s total exports would drop only by 2ppt. China’s GDP sensitivity to trade

is around 0.1, i.e. 10 ppt decline in China’s total exports could reduce GDP growth by around

1ppt. So a 2ppt drop in China’s total export growth could only lower GDP growth by 0.2ppt. In

other words, if a trade war like this really happens, the impact on sentiment might be even

bigger than on the real economy.

Meanwhile, China could retaliate on various fronts. For instance, imposing tariffs on imports

from the US or asking the government and SOEs (such as airline companies) to reduce their

purchase of US goods. After all, China is the third-largest exports destination for the US. Or

China could increase scrutiny of US companies operating in China. A potential trade war

could also impact the cooperation between China and the US in various areas such as

geopolitics, anti-terrorism and others. That said, some investors’ worry that China might use

the RMB as another weapon. In our view, it’s possible but not very likely. At this moment,

China’s policy makers are grappling with the RMB depreciation expectation, which is the most

important driver for capital outflows. A sizeable depreciation would worsen the current

situation. Moreover, amid the power transition, the last thing China’s policy makers want to

see is the kind of market panic in late 2015, which was caused by an unexpected

depreciation of the RMB.

The problem for forecasting, as Larry notes above, is to go beyond the first round impact, into

incorporating retaliation, and global spill-over consequences.

Fig 49 is a scenario undertaken by Oxford Economics on the following assumptions. The US

introduces a 35% trade tariff on Mexico and a 45% trade tariff on China. Both countries

respond by matching these tariffs. Subsequently, tariffs are imposed on Korea and Taiwan

meeting a similar response.

The result of this scenario is 1% off Asian growth over two years with variable impacts,

compared to the baseline forecast, Fig.41.

The hit to Japan’s real GDP is estimated by Oxford Economics to be a cumulative 1.2% over

two years. Japan is a major capital goods exporter.

The spill-over to the Eurozone is forecast at -0.8% over two years. Please remember that

Germany is also a major capital goods exporter. In addition, spill-over effects impact growth

around the world. On this scenario, Oxford Economics forecast that the US will see growth hit

by 1.2% over two years, compared to the baseline forecast.

Fig 49 Protectionism: a growth shock scenario for Asia ex Japan

Source: US Census Bureau, Macquarie Research, March 2017

The November 2016 IMF working paper When China sneezes does ASEAN catch a cold? by

Sohrab Rafiq concludes as follows:

The main finding is that the impact of China growth shocks on ASEAN has risen since the

global financial crisis. A one percent decline in China’s growth implies a 0.3 percent reduction

in growth for ASEAN EMEs (Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand) and 0.2 for FDEs (Cambodia,

Lao PDR and Vietnam).

An important component of inflation is also shared between ASEAN and China. These

magnitudes are double what they were two decades ago due to stronger trade and financial

linkages. Finally, a slowdown in China, while having real effects, also has a financial impact

via slower credit growth and lower equity prices. This is in line with the existence of both

portfolio balance and signalling channels, in which ASEAN market participants absorb news

on China economic activity as an indicator over domestic growth prospects.

The above “A one percent decline in China’s growth implies a 0.3 percent reduction in growth

for ASEAN EMEs (Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand)” is consistent with the Oxford

Economics scenario results shown in Fig.39, where -1.5% cumulatively over two years

compares to 0.4-0.6% over two years for Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

Bilateral trade negotiations with the US

With the US having withdrawn from the TPP, President Trump has achieved the first of his

seven point trade agenda, pages 2-3. Countries now face bilateral trade negotiations with the

US. The 8 February 2016 The US-Japan relationship contained our forecast for “The deal”

that bilateral negotiations between the US and Japan would reach. Whilst the initial US list of

demands is expected to be heavy, below, the gains for Japan from improving its relatively

poor service sector labour productivity are so large that a win-win situation is possible.

East Asian growth is at risk The integrated export supply-chain of Factory Asia means that any fall in US imports from

China has negative spill-over consequences across East Asia.

The resulting negative impact on real GDP growth is estimated to be broadly similar across

East Asian countries, though North East Asia appears to be hit proportionally a little harder

than ASEAN.

A possible 2018 – some numbers

Our 25 January 2017 Global slump scenarios, and the EM economies that concern us the

most concluded that 4Q 2017 was likely the earliest that any of the identified growth shocks

would arrive.

Believing in irregular oscillations around trend growth rates this suggests that after the 2016-

17 global cyclical recovery, the cycle will turn down in 2018.

What could be unusual in this cycle, is the cause of the down-cycle might be clearly visible in

advance: an activist US trade policy.

Following the imposition of a 45% tariff on Chinese imports into the US, the hit to

Chinese GDP would be as follows: A 14% decline in Chinese exports to the US, times the

ratio of US exports/total Chinese exports (0.18, Fig 8), times the ratio of Chinese

export/Chinese GDP (0.208, Fig 8) times the domestic value added in exports (0.64, Fig 19

and below) is equals to a 0.34% fall in Chinese GDP, the direct first-round impact.

Ricocheting retaliation around the world bridges this forecast and Fig 49 above.

The foreign value added in Chinese exports has increased from 17.5% in 1995 to 31.4% in

2005 (Fig 19) and is currently assumed to be 36%.

We then break this into quarters: 1) Japan, 2) Korea & Taiwan, 3) ASEAN, and 4) The rest of

the world. This reflects, broadly, for 1-3 their exports to China multiplied by domestic value

added ratios (Fig 8 and Fig 19) and then adding a fourth quarter for the rest of the world.

This enables an apportioning of lost value added by country.

For ASEAN for example, the spill over hit to real GDP would be US$411bn (Chinese exports

to the US) times -14% times 0.36 (foreign value added) times 0.25 divided by US$2,330bn

(ASEAN GDP) i.e. -0.2% of ASEAN GDP (before spill over and retaliation consequences).

Using the same methodology, the hit to growth for other East Asian countries is: Japan:

-0.1%, Korea: -0.2% and Taiwan: -0.5%.

Assumption #3 on page 4 was that substitution would be 50% domestic and 50% foreign non-

China suppliers. We assume that this is split between Factory Asia and Factory Europe. This

will dampen the first round negative direct impacts above. An offset, however, would be the

negative impact on Asia ex China exports to domestic demand in China from the hit to

Chinese GDP.

The imposition of a 20% tariff on all imports would lead to an estimated 4% decline in total

US imports, approximately 3x the first round impact of a 45% tariff on just Chinese imports,

front cover and pages 4-6.

Broadly similar hits to GDP growth across East Asian countries…

…though North East Asia appears to be hit proportionally a little harder than ASEAN.

A 0.3% hit to Chinese growth when it is growing around 6.0% is similar to a 0.2% hit to

ASEAN growth when the latter is growing around 4.5% (Fig 55). The forecast hit to Japanese

real GDP growth at 0.1% is proportionally a bigger hit, based on our growth forecast of 0.7%

in 2018.The above analysis is based on goods trade, and Japan is likely to experience a

relatively negative hit from service exports (page 23). The same applies to Korea where an

estimated 0.2% hit compares to forecast growth of 2.7% in 2018. Taiwan appears to be

potentially impacted more negatively than other countries.
