Viewing the 'World Factory' and 'World Market' through Data

In the first quarter of the 15th Five Year Plan, China's foreign trade achieved rapid growth, laying a solid foundation for the stable growth of foreign trade throughout the year and injecting stability and certainty into the turbulent world.

Distributed and microgrid projects built by Chinese companies in sub Saharan Africa provide stable power supply to the local area; In the South American market, Chinese electric motorcycles are adaptable to complex road conditions, with strong power and long-lasting range... "Made in China" quickly responds to market demand, and Chinese enterprises use innovative development to hedge the uncertainty of the external environment, with increasingly diverse trading partners.

China not only shoulders the responsibility of being the "world factory", but also plays a good role in the "world market". The Government Work Report clearly proposes to actively expand imports and promote balanced trade development. The super large scale market in China provides vast space for import growth: textile raw materials, computer components, and electronic components meet the needs of industrial development; Imported consumer goods such as clothing, shoes, hats, food, cosmetics, etc. decorate people's beautiful lives.

We will comprehensively promote the cross customs return mode for cross-border e-commerce retail exports, deepen the innovation of customs clearance supervision mode, and fully implement zero tariff measures for 53 African countries that have diplomatic relations with China. We will work together to stabilize exports and expand imports, and a series of positive and effective policy measures will help improve the quality and efficiency of foreign trade.

The beginning is crucial to the overall situation, and it determines the trend. Our country's foreign trade foundation is solid and stable, the vitality of business entities is booming, the export structure is moving towards a new and better direction, and the import momentum is clearly strengthening. The advantages and potential of foreign trade will continue to be demonstrated.
