Recently, the reporter learned from Hefei Customs that the total import and export value of goods trade in Anhui Province reached 499.13 billion yuan in the first five months of this year, a year-on-year increase of 32.9%. Among them, exports amounted to 342.81 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.5%; Imports amounted to 156.32 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 27.6%.

Behind this transcript, there are several forces that collectively support it. Looking at the trade structure, general trade imports and exports account for over 70% of the province's foreign trade, an increase of nearly two percentage points compared to the same period last year. Looking at foreign trade entities, private enterprises are still the main force, contributing 53.5% of the province's foreign trade. In the first five months, the import and export of private enterprises in Anhui reached 266.97 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.8%. State owned enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises also increased by 50.2% and 10.6% respectively year-on-year, forming a pattern of the "three carriages" advancing together.

Looking at the market layout again. The European Union is Anhui's largest trading partner, with a total trade value of 69.95 billion yuan in the first five months, an increase of nearly 40%; ASEAN followed closely behind, with a total trade value of 65.85 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 31.8%. The market performance of countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" is outstanding. In the same period, Anhui's import and export to the countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" reached 262.2 billion yuan, accounting for 52.5% of the province's total foreign trade value - more than half of the country. Other RCEP member countries also contributed 24.2% of the share.

The most striking feature is the "hardcore" temperament of exported products. Data shows that in the first five months of this year, Anhui's exports of mechanical and electrical products reached 266.12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 46.4%, accounting for 77.6% of the total export value.

The electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products, known as the "new three types", have a total export value of over 60 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than double, accounting for 18% of the province's total exports.

The import end also conveys the heat of the industry. In the first five months of this year, the import of metal ore and mineral sand reached 66.68 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 46.6%, accounting for 42.7% of the province's total import value.
