China Trade Grows 15.3 Percent in First Five Months

China foreign trade jumped 15.3 percent year-on-year to reach 20.68 trillion yuan in the first five months of the year, with both exports and imports achieving growth.

Chinese customs data shows that the total value of foreign trade in the first five months of this year reached 20.68 trillion yuan, a 15.3 percent increase compared to the same period last year. This growth reflects strong momentum in China foreign trade, benefiting from the relative stability of the global economy. On the export side, Chinese merchandise exports maintained steady growth, with high-tech products showing particularly strong performance. On the import side, increased domestic demand drove growth in imports of bulk commodities. Trade partners are widely distributed geographically, with notable trade growth occurring with major partners such as ASEAN and the EU. These results demonstrate that the Chinese economy continues to maintain a trend of steady progress, with promising development in foreign trade and foreign investment.
