从广交会看中国外贸韧性
当第138届广交会以展览面积155万平方米、展位总数7.46万个、参展企业超3.2万家的规模刷新历史纪录时，当来自200多个国家和地区的采购商汇聚琶洲展馆时，中国外贸已向世界传递出超越数字的强烈信号。结合今年前三季度中国货物贸易进出口总额33.61万亿元、同比增长4%的“成绩单”，广交会这一“中国第一展”的盛况，不仅是中国经济韧性的微观缩影，更是观察中国外贸在全球风云变幻中保持强劲韧性的窗口。
从广交会参展主体结构性变化，可以看到中国外贸高质量发展正在结出累累硕果。本届广交会拥有高新技术、专精特新、单项冠军等称号的优质企业首次突破1万家，占出口展企业总数的34%。这上万家优质企业构成参展阵容的中坚力量，意味着中国外贸的动能引擎正从“数量增长”转向“质量突围”。它们携超过100万件新产品、近110万件自主知识产权产品亮相，其中智能产品超35万件，绿色低碳产品超108万件。这些数据绝非简单的品类堆砌，而是中国制造业向全球价值链中高端跃升的直观印证。
从可进行精细操作的手术机器人到适应多样化场景的具身智能机器人，展品的技术含量与创新度，生动诠释了“中国制造”正在向“中国智造”与“中国创造”的系统性升级。这种内在的结构优化，与前三季度高技术产品出口的亮眼表现形成了深层次的呼应，表明新质生产力正成为稳定外贸大盘、提升抗风险能力的核心支撑。
广交会现场，来自巴西的大型采购团、欧盟头部企业的积极参会，都表明中国供应链的稳定性、产品的创新性和合作的诚意，对全球客商构成了强大且持续的吸引力。本届广交会新增18家全球合作伙伴，总数达227家，覆盖110个国家和地区，“朋友圈”持续扩容。其中，预注册境外采购商中，来自共建“一带一路”国家的客商增长明显。这一微观层面的热度，精准映射了宏观层面的趋势：今年前三季度，我国对共建“一带一路”国家进出口额达17.37万亿元，增长6.2%，占外贸总值的51.7%。这种市场多元化格局的成功构建，有效应对了外部环境带来的不确定性，使中国外贸在全球经济格局波动中获得了更大的战略纵深和回旋余地。
同时，从一个侧面也展现出中国通过制度型开放和精准服务优化营商环境的决心。本届广交会继续为参展企业减免50%展位费，并对所有企业免费提供线上引流等服务，首次受惠企业超5000家。广州作为东道主，推出“无忧抵达、极速通关”体验，在广州地铁首次开通境外银行卡直接过闸，设立展馆内离境退税专区。这些举措看似是服务细节，实则是中国持续推进高水平对外开放、打造“市场化、法治化、国际化”一流营商环境的缩影。它们降低了企业的制度性交易成本和跨境贸易的摩擦系数，从而激发了像广交会这样的大型平台作为贸易“催化剂”和“稳定器”的功能。当外部环境更趋复杂严峻时，这种以我为主的确定性措施，为全球贸易注入了宝贵的稳定性。
当前，全球范围内保护主义、地缘政治冲突等风险依然存在。但广交会的万商云集和前三个季度中国进出口增速逐季走高的态势表明，中国外贸的韧性并非仅是规模优势，而是源于持续的创新勇气、灵活的市场策略和坚定的开放决心。从“世界工厂”到“创新策源地”，中国外贸正在全球贸易格局的重构中不断进化。透过广交会这个窗口，我们看到的是一个更加开放、更具创新活力、也更懂得与全球伙伴共享发展机遇的中国。

Looking at China's foreign trade resilience from the Canton Fair
When the 138th Canton Fair broke the historical record with an exhibition area of 1.55 million square meters, a total of 74600 booths, and over 32000 participating companies, and when buyers from more than 200 countries and regions gathered at the Pazhou Exhibition Hall, China's foreign trade has sent a strong signal to the world that goes beyond numbers. Based on the "report card" of China's total import and export of goods trade reaching 33.61 trillion yuan in the first three quarters of this year, with a year-on-year growth of 4%, the Canton Fair, as the "first exhibition in China", is not only a microcosm of China's economic resilience, but also a window to observe the strong resilience of China's foreign trade in the changing global situation.
From the structural changes of exhibitors at the Canton Fair, it can be seen that China's high-quality development of foreign trade is yielding fruitful results. For the first time, the number of high-quality enterprises with titles such as high-tech, specialized and innovative, and single champion at this year's Canton Fair has exceeded 10000, accounting for 34% of the total number of export exhibition enterprises. These tens of thousands of high-quality enterprises form the backbone of the exhibition lineup, indicating that the driving force of China's foreign trade is shifting from "quantity growth" to "quality breakthrough". They showcased over 1 million new products and nearly 1.1 million products with independent intellectual property rights, including over 350000 smart products and over 1.08 million green and low-carbon products. These data are not simply a pile up of categories, but a direct confirmation of China's manufacturing industry's leap towards the high-end of the global value chain.
From surgical robots that can perform fine operations to embodied intelligent robots that can adapt to diverse scenarios, the technological content and innovation of the exhibits vividly illustrate the systematic upgrade of "Made in China" to "Made in China" and "Created in China". This internal structural optimization has formed a deep resonance with the impressive performance of high-tech product exports in the first three quarters, indicating that new quality productivity is becoming the core support for stabilizing the foreign trade market and enhancing risk resistance.
At the Canton Fair, the active participation of large procurement groups from Brazil and top EU companies demonstrates the stability of China's supply chain, the innovation of its products, and the sincerity of cooperation, which has formed a strong and sustained attraction for global merchants. This year's Canton Fair has added 18 global partners, bringing the total to 227, covering 110 countries and regions, and the "circle of friends" continues to expand. Among the pre registered overseas purchasers, the number of merchants from countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" has increased significantly. This enthusiasm at the micro level accurately reflects the trend at the macro level: in the first three quarters of this year, China's import and export volume to countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road" reached 17.37 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.2%, accounting for 51.7% of the total foreign trade value. The successful construction of this diversified market pattern effectively addresses the uncertainty brought by the external environment, providing China's foreign trade with greater strategic depth and room for maneuver in the global economic fluctuations.
At the same time, it also demonstrates China's determination to optimize the business environment through institutional openness and precise services. This year's Canton Fair will continue to offer a 50% reduction in booth fees for participating companies, and provide free online traffic and other services to all companies, benefiting over 5000 companies for the first time. As the host city, Guangzhou has launched a "worry free arrival, fast customs clearance" experience, opening the first overseas bank card direct crossing in the Guangzhou subway, and setting up a departure tax refund area in the exhibition hall. These measures may seem like service details, but they are actually a microcosm of China's continuous promotion of high-level opening up to the outside world and the creation of a first-class business environment that is market-oriented, rule of law, and international. They reduce the institutional transaction costs of enterprises and the friction coefficient of cross-border trade, thereby stimulating the functions of large platforms like the Canton Fair as trade "catalysts" and "stabilizers". When the external environment becomes more complex and severe, this self determined measure injects valuable stability into global trade.
Currently, risks such as protectionism and geopolitical conflicts still exist globally. But the gathering of thousands of merchants at the Canton Fair and the quarterly increase in China's import and export growth rate in the first three quarters indicate that the resilience of China's foreign trade is not only due to scale advantages, but also stems from sustained innovation courage, flexible market strategies, and firm determination to open up. From the "world factory" to the "source of innovation", China's foreign trade is constantly evolving in the reconstruction of the global trade pattern. Through the window of the Canton Fair, we see a China that is more open, innovative, and understands how to share development opportunities with global partners.
