Stable foreign trade results are bright

Recently, the trade of multiple export -oriented economies in the world has shown a cooling trend. According to South Korea's JTBC TV report on September 2, South Korea ’s trade deficit in August reached 9.47 billion US dollars, the highest level since the beginning of relevant statistics. It is reported that the status of South Korea's "exported power" in the world is shaken due to frustration of South Korean semiconductor products and rising import energy prices.

According to the German Voice website, under the two sides of energy prices soaring and exporting, the always -the -pastance country in Germany has developed its first trade deficit in May this year. The head of the German Foreign Trade Congress Terlair described the current development trend: in the next few months, the international market's demand for German products will be even more sluggish.

Globally, the stable growth of China's foreign trade is quite bright. In the first quarter of this year, it began steadily. In April, the impact of the epidemic declined, and it broke down from May. In July, the export of exports was "over -expected to speed up". Although the growth rate of import and export in August, the growth rate of exports slowed down by 8.6%.

China's foreign trade not only continues to expand, but also shows many highlights. China and the “Belt and Road” have grown rapidly. In the first eight months of this year, China ’s imports and exports to countries along the“ Belt and Road ”increased by 20.2%year -on -year. It is worth mentioning that the CMC in the first eight months of this year opened a total of 10575 rows, sending 1.024,000 standard boxes, a year -on -year increase of 5%and 6%, and continued to maintain a strong growth trend.

The dividend of the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement" (RCEP) has gradually appeared. According to the data of the China Trade Council, the number of small and medium -sized foreign trade enterprises exported to the RCEP region countries in the first eight months of this year increased by 36.4%year -on -year. Malaysia's "Star" said that RCEP became China's "strong leverage" for maintaining trade and stable foreign capital in 2022.

Highlight the toughness of the supply chain

The stability of foreign trade reflects the toughness of China's supply chain.

According to the article, according to the "International Industrial Statistics Yearbook" recently released by the United Nations, among the 22 manufacturing categories tracked by the United Nations, there are 16 categories of China produced first, ranking second among the remaining six categories. "If the global manufacturing industry is compared to the Olympic Games, China can get gold or silver medals in every event."

The American Voice of America website published an article on the development trend of the Sino -US manufacturing industry on September 7. Although the article has strongly sang the Chinese manufacturing industry, it also has to admit that "the transfer of the industrial chain is not a matter of overnight."

Since then, China's manufacturing industry has been in the world for 11 consecutive years. China is considered the country with the most complete industrial system. Among the 500 major industrial products, more than 40%of products have the number one product in the world.

An article published by the New York Times on September 6 uses Apple mobile phones as an example to explain the degree of difficulty in "leaving China". According to the article, Apple's Chinese employees and suppliers have contributed to the all -round labor and precision parts that have contributed to this 15 -year -old product, which involves many aspects such as manufacturing design, speakers and batteries. Apple mobile phones have changed from a product designed and made in California to the common creation of the two countries. Most of the time of the new crown epidemic, Apple's dependence on Chinese manufacturing has been rewarded. Although Apple encountered multiple discontinued production in other countries in 2020 and 2021, the stable production in China helped Apple to increase the market share of the smartphone, and Apple mobile phone sales broke through the historical record.

The German Voice website quoted the analysis by the Institute of Economics of Munich, Germany in early August that if German companies will fully move their production chain back to Germany, Germany's GDP (GDP) will fall almost 10%. Wolf, chairman of the German Metal and Electric Industry Employees Association and German automobile supplier Elpry Bell Bell, said in an interview with Germany's New News Agency that Germany can hardly reduce its economic dependence on China in the short term. "If we Today, all China's exports to Europe are cut off, which is unimaginable. "" Economic war with China will paralyze industry. "
