Grow against the trend! China’s export trade is more coordinated and the economic growth momentum is sufficient.

  Cctv newsAt present, world economic and trade growth is slowing down and external uncertainties are increasing. However, looking at the economic data of foreign trade, China’s foreign trade exports still show a good momentum of contrarian growth. This fully shows that the basic trend of China’s economic stability and long-term improvement has not changed.

  According to the data of the General Administration of Customs, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade in 2019 was 31.54 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.4%. Among them, the export of goods was 17.23 trillion yuan, an increase of 5%; The trade surplus was 2.92 trillion yuan, an increase of 25.4%. China is expected to continue to maintain its position as the largest country in global trade in goods.

  Behind the exciting data is the strong resilience, potential and room for maneuver of China’s economy.

  China is the largest manufacturing country in the world, with a complete, independent and complete modern industrial system. The output of more than 220 kinds of industrial products in China ranks first in the world, and domestic industries provide strong support for the development of foreign trade.

  China also has a large number of foreign trade enterprises. In 2019, there were as many as 499,000 foreign trade enterprises with actual import and export activities.

  It is worth mentioning that in 2019, China’s private enterprises’ exports increased by 13%, imports increased by 8.4%, and the proportion of exports reached 51.9%, surpassing foreign-invested enterprises for the first time and becoming China’s largest foreign trade subject.

  Sheng Laiyun, deputy director of the National Bureau of Statistics, said in an interview with Focus Interview: "This fully shows that, first, the policies and measures adopted by the China government to stabilize foreign trade according to the changes in the situation are powerful and effective; Second, China products are competitive. "

  In 2019, the export of mechanical and electrical products in China was 10.06 trillion yuan, up 4.4%, accounting for 58.4% of the total export value. Among them, the export of electrical and electronic products was 4.63 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.4%; The export of machinery and equipment was 2.87 trillion yuan, up by 1.4%.

  China’s export trade has achieved contrarian growth, thanks to the deepening of supply-side structural reforms. According to the column of Economic Daily, only by strengthening independent innovation, speeding up industrial upgrading and actively adapting to the world market demand can we build more and better brands in China. Liu Qiao, dean of Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, also said: "China has participated in the global industrial division of labor for decades, and has accumulated many core competitive advantages over the years."

  On September 6, 2018, in the railway container yard of Manzhouli Port, the staff of the shunting team was commanding the trailer. Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia, has developed into an important transportation hub on the Eurasian logistics channel relying on its geographical advantages.

  While improving core competitiveness, the contrarian growth of foreign trade also benefits from the continuous expansion of trade scale between China and countries along the "Belt and Road". From 2014 to 2019, the trade value with countries along the Belt and Road totaled more than 44 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 6.1%. China has become the largest trading partner of 25 countries along the route.

  At present, China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage. It is necessary to further deepen the supply-side structural reform and foreign trade system reform, stimulate the institutional vitality and innovation potential, and promote China’s foreign trade development to achieve "three transformations" — — From factor-driven to innovation-driven, from scale and speed to quality and efficiency, from cost and price advantages to new competitive advantages.

  Under the strong momentum of foreign trade export growth, continuing to do a good job of "six stabilities" and promoting the high-quality development of China’s trade is not only a strong support for the high-quality development of China’s economy, but also a strong support for economic globalization and the multilateral trading system.
