"Monthly imports and exports sustained growth for eight consecutive months. Growth is expected to continue next year." On December 10, after the release of the latest "transcript" of China's foreign trade, many foreign media provided such an assessment. The data shows that in the first 11 months of this year, the total value of imports and exports of Chinese goods was 39.79 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.9% year-on-year. Among them, exports increased by 6.7% and imports by 2.4%, and the overall growth was stable.
From a global perspective, it is not easy to achieve such results. Today, geopolitical conflicts continue and global trade protection is intensifying. As the Chinese President has pointed out Xi Jinpingwhen he met with the heads of major international economic organisations on the same day, "how to put the world economy on a path of strong and sustainable growth is a major challenge facing the international community."
The resilience and performance of China's foreign trade as a microcosm of the Chinese economy have responded to this "global question" and also confirmed that "China has full confidence in achieving this year's economic growth target and continues to play its role as the world's largest engine of economic growth."
