China's foreign trade not only achieved rising against the trend, but also created two "new highs".

"In the first half of the year, the total import and export of goods nationwide was 19802.2 billion yuan, a record high. Looking at the month of June, the total import and export value exceeded 3.7 trillion yuan, of which the total exports exceeded 2.2 trillion yuan. Singapore high. "Liang Ming, director of the Institute of Foreign Trade, Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, told reporters that" such achievements are very eye -catching, which fully reflects that China's foreign trade is competitive and tough. "

While the growth rate climbed up, the quality of foreign trade has also steadily improved.

The proportion of general trade imports and exports continues to expand. In the first half of the year, China's general trade imports and exports were 1.271 trillion yuan, an increase of 13.1%, accounting for 64.2%of the total foreign trade import and export value, an increase of 2.1 percentage points year -on -year. During the same period, the processing trade imports and exports were 4.02 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.2%.

The import and exports of major trading partners have maintained growth. In the first half of the year, China imported and exported 2.95 trillion yuan, 2.71 trillion yuan, and 2.47 trillion yuan to ASEAN, the European Union, and the United States, an increase of 10.6%, 7.5%, and 11.7%, respectively. During the same period, China's imports and exports of RCEP trading partners along the “Belt and Road” increased by 17.8%and 5.6%, respectively.

The vitality of foreign trade operations has been further enhanced. "In the first half of the year, my country had 506,000 foreign trade enterprises with import and export performance, an increase of 5.5%year -on -year." Li Kuiwen, spokesman for the General Administration of Customs, said, "In the same period, foreign -invested enterprises import and export 6.75 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.1%; state -owned enterprises; state -owned enterprises; state -owned enterprises; Import and export is 32 trillion yuan, an increase of 15.2%.

Liang Ming said.

Increase confidence in foreign trade enterprises

The total amount of import and export is rebounded month by month. How did this do?

Increased demand and market expectations make foreign trade companies more confident. "From our perspective, the popularity of May and June mainly comes from the rise in international market demand." Tang Sheng told reporters that the Amazon platform has membership day promotional activities on June-July every year. Because the sea transportation usually takes 30-40 days of shipping during the peak season, after Amazon announced the specific time this year, he prepared the goods for one and a half months in advance. "This year's membership day has a lot of orders. My ports in Guangzhou also see the busy scene of logistics." Tang Sheng told reporters that the situation of the "one box of a box" before the container has been improved. Compared with the highest point, the highest point has dropped a lot, from about 1 kg 30 yuan to about 18 yuan, the cost pressure of foreign trade enterprises is relieved.

Thanks to the stability of the macroeconomic market, domestic production demand has sufficient potential, which provides strong support for import growth. According to Li Kuiwen, in the first half of the year, the imports of Chinese copper materials, basic organic chemicals, and integrated circuits increased by 16.2%, 7.9%, and 5.5%, respectively.

The import and export of some areas quickly recovered, which strongly stabilized the basic foreign trade market. In May, imports and exports in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Northern region increased by 4.8%, 2.8%, and 12.2%year -on -year, and the growth rates increased further to 14.9%, 6.4%, and 12.8%in June.

Liang Ming believes that the decline in April was mainly affected by the epidemic situation in some regions of the country. Taking Shanghai as an example, the export value fell by 43%in April. "Fortunately, these areas quickly overcome the influence of the epidemic. The growth rate of monthly foreign trade import and exports from negative to positive and recovered. While showing the strong toughness of local foreign trade development, it also effectively kept the basic market for the stable growth of foreign trade in the country." Liang Liang. Obviously.

The "V" type is inseparable from the "support" of national policies. Taking the smooth flow of logistics as an example, Li Kuiwen introduced that the General Administration of Customs promoted the pilot of imported goods "direct shipbuilding" and exported goods "direct installation of Hong Kong" pilots, and carried out the entire process of vaccine customs clearance processes. , Realize the new crown vaccine "zero open demolition" and "zero waiting". "China’ s exports quickly rebounded in May, which is actually a recovery growth after the epidemic. "Huo Jianguo, vice chairman of the China World Trade Organization Research Association, said," This is inseparable from the unfavorable factor of breaking through the national concentrated power to break through the foreign trade exports, such as opening up, such as opening up Green channels to ensure that foreign trade enterprises are preferred. On the whole, the policy of re -production and logistics is effective. "

"Stability and quality" is not loose

The growth rate of foreign trade imports and exports in June and June is exciting. Can this growth trend continue in the second half of the year?

"Overall, foreign trade will maintain a moderate growth in the second half of the year. Under normal circumstances, it will be higher than the growth rate of the national economy and contribute to stimulating economic growth." Huo Jianguo analyzed, from the perspective of foreign trade, with the country's stable economy policies and measures and measures The further release of landing and external demand, coupled with the smooth flow of sea transportation and logistics, the growth rate of foreign trade import and export is expected to remain between 8%and 10%.

Li Kuiwen said that the epidemic and international environment of the new crown pneumonia become more severe and complicated. The development of China's foreign trade still faces some unstable and uncertain factors, and the stability and quality are also facing a lot of pressure. "The General Administration of Customs has introduced a few measures to promote the improvement of foreign trade and stability and the cost of further helping the enterprise to relieve the rescue and surrender. The customs of various places also proposed 854 detailed support measures in accordance with the actual and corporate demands of the customs district to support foreign trade stability. increase."

In Liang Ming's view, the next stage of promoting foreign trade to maintain stability is the key to work. "The quality of foreign trade stability is a two -way requirement for exports and imports." Liang Ming said, "The basis of foreign trade preserving the quality lies in maintaining 'stability'. This 'stability' has two meanings, one is to maintain the scale of my country's import and export scale Stability, the second is to maintain the stability of the international market share of my country's import and export; secondly, the key to maintaining the quality of foreign trade is to improve 'quality'. The so -called improvement is to improve the quality and efficiency of my country's foreign trade development. Develop and realize high levels of opening up. "

In terms of promoting the stability of the industrial chain supply chain, the "whitelist" enterprise customs protection work should be done well. According to Li Kuiwen, the General Administration of Customs promotes the facilitation and diversified sources of grain import, and completes the signing of Burmese corn, Malawi soybeans, Brazilian corn and peanuts such as transmission. Domestic supply.

In addition, continuous optimization of port business environment is also a key task. At present, the General Administration of Customs has carried out a five -month -old special action to promote cross -border trade facilitation in 10 cities across the country, and has launched 10 convenience measures with relevant national departments. Deepen the construction of the "single window" of international trade and consolidate the effectiveness of compressed overall customs clearance time. Implement the reform of the "decentralization service" and guide more than 90,000 enterprises to handle the declaration unit for record in the "multi -certificate" form. Promote integrated reforms in the entire business field, and further improve the level of trade facilitation.

A series of stabilization of foreign trade measures has taken effect, stimulating the vitality of the market entity. In the first half of this year, the General Administration of Customs completed 73,700 imported food foreign manufacturers registered in China; compressed the time limit for the filing of export food manufacturers, and 23,500 filing enterprises; accelerated the application for intellectual property customs protection filing applications, and added a record of 10,700 Pieces, an increase of 58%year -on -year; the interest rate of domestic sales of domestic sales trade is exempt from domestic sales, which benefits 14,600 enterprises.

"China's strong economic toughness, sufficient potential, and long -term good fundamentals have not changed, and foreign trade is still expected to continue to maintain steady growth." Li Kuiwen said. (Reporter Kong Dechen)
