On May 9th, the General Administration of Customs released foreign trade data for the first four months of this year. China's total import and export value was 13.32 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.8%. Foreign trade data showed that exports were 7.67 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.6%; Import reached 5.65 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.02%. Foreign trade data shows that the year-on-year growth rate of imports and exports in the first four months has accelerated by 1 percentage point compared to the first quarter. Monthly customs surveys show that the proportion of enterprises with increased export orders has increased for four consecutive months, and the trend of stable and positive foreign trade has further continued, effectively resolving the online belief that China's foreign trade is not feasible.
The increase in China's foreign trade data indicates that recent policies to stabilize the scale and optimize the structure of foreign trade have achieved very good results. It also demonstrates the enormous resilience of China's industrial chain and the international competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing. Not only has the total amount of foreign trade maintained rapid growth, but the structure of foreign trade has also been significantly optimized.
Specifically, the growth of general trade and processing trade is decreasing, with each other decreasing. This reflects that China's foreign trade development is accelerating its transformation in a healthier way. The successive introduction of new foreign trade policies will help China achieve a stable development of foreign trade imports and exports, increase the proportion of general trade exports, and continuously increase the proportion of private enterprises in foreign trade. This reflects the accelerating transformation of China's foreign trade development, and the unexpected growth of foreign trade data in April, In addition to the relatively low export base during the same period last year, the backlog of exported products caused by the epidemic last year has also had a certain positive effect on this year's export growth. However, for the economic trend in the second half of the year, it is expected that the trend of rapid import and export of foreign trade will continue. What do you think?
