Zhang Jingzhao, a special reporter in South Korea and Germany

According to data released by the General Administration of Customs on the 13th, in the first half of this year, the total value of import and export in the first half of this year increased by 9.4%year -on -year. Among them, exports were 11.14 trillion yuan, an increase of 13.2%; imports were 8.66 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.8%. As the major manufacturing economies such as Germany and South Korea have recently encountered a rare trade deficit, China's import and export trade overcome multiple resistance to maintain rising momentum. As the world's largest trading country, "Made in China" continued to maintain "high exposure" in multiple trade hub nodes in the world in the first half of this year, showing the strength and toughness of China's manufacturing industry.

"Made in China" spreads throughout the German trade hub

There are often German economic circles saying that it depends on the close relationship between the European trade, and must go to the two cities of Duisburg and Hamburg to see it. Duisburg, which has railway and port trade hubs at the same time, is an important transit center for German trade. On the 11th local time, a series of electronic products, mechanical parts, daily department stores and other goods with 100 label boxes from Chongqing (Chongqing) slowly entered the DIT site of Ditburg. This is the 10000 ribbon folded by the China -EU trains (Yuxinou). As the European cities with the largest number of China -Europe trains lines, Duisburg has an average of 60 China -Europe trains between China and Germany, which occupies almost 1/3 of the China -Europe trains.

At the port pier, the figure of "Made in China" can be seen everywhere. The reporter went to Duisburg Port to see that although the new crown pneumonia has not dissipated, there has been a busy scene here, and the dock is full of containers with Chinese. In the 2020 annual report of 96 pages of Duisburg, "China" appeared 45 times. Due to the trade with China, there are more jobs in Duisburg Port than before, and have exceeded 50,000. There are currently more than 100 Chinese companies.

Roland, a trader operating a China -Europe line, said that Duisburg is now called "German Trade City". Even under the impact of the new crown pneumonia, his business has not been greatly affected, and the demand is every year. Improve. His company has increased more than 10 employees from the previous two employees. At present, the main business is to import epidemic prevention products, home appliances and other products from China, and export precision machinery to China.

Germany's "Rhein Post" recently reported that some people criticized Duisburg overly dependence on China. Bakhad Randez, the head of the German Federation of Industry and Commerce, said that there is no trade with China, and many things will become more expensive. China will continue to become an important trading partner of Duisburg.

As the largest port in Europe and the largest port in Germany, the average container of the whapence of Hamburg Port is related to China. More than 500 Chinese companies now have branches in Hamburg. Jido Norman, the person in charge of the city marketing department of Hamburg, said that in 2021, the container trade between the Hamburg Port and China achieved a 5.5%growth.

The reporter saw at Hamburg Port on the 12th that many large ships still waited for unloading outside the port. According to data released by the Institute of Economics of Germany (IFW) in July, in June, about 2%of the world's freight capacity was trapped in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium ports due to port congestion caused by strikes. For the EU, this first affects overseas trade, especially trade with China, such as consumer electronics, furniture and textiles.

A staff member of the Hamburg Port and Logistics Co., Ltd. (HHLA), who runs the Hamburg Port, told reporters that the current average delivery time of the port is about 7 days, which is twice as more than before. This situation will gradually improve in the future.

At present, Hamburg and many Chinese cities have nearly 40 China -Europe trains per week. Many traders said that goods exported to Europe have become more and more scientific, such as recent electric vehicles have increased. In the field of high -end home appliances, Chinese brands have gradually occupied the protagonist of German malls. Huawei, DJI, Xiaomi and other brands are well known in Germany. They said that Chinese goods are complete and prices are still advantageous, and traders are optimistic about China -Europe trade.

South Korea Airport takes the initiative to connect with Chinese logistics

From January to May this year, trade with China accounted for 23.4%of the total South Korean trade, which is the first of countries around the world. Benefiting from the growth of containers with Chinese containers, container transportation of Incheon Port is turning to recovery. According to the data of the Incheon Port Authority, the total number of containers from China in May increased by 2.8%from the same period last year, becoming an important factor in traction of the freight recovery of the cargo.

The Incheon Port Affairs Bureau said that as some cities in China have been controlled, epidemic prevention measures for some port cities have also begun to relax, so containers from China have begun to increase. Some analysts believe that the freight volume of Incheon Port will not be fully restored to normal until the second half of this year. The Incheon Port Authority predicts that the container processing volume will reach 3.4 million standard boxes this year, a slight increase from last year.

According to the "South Korea Economy" reported on the 12th, China is the world's largest e -commerce country, and many goods sent to the Americas or Europe need to transfer the third country. After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the non -face -to -face life and working methods have further spread around the world, so cross -border e -commerce is growing rapidly. In 2018, about 35,000 tons of cargo in South Korea's sea and air composite, and increased to 61,000 tons in 2021. A record high. The demand for China's transshipment through Incheon International Airport and Incheon Port is still increasing. In order to bear more Chinese freight, South Korea's Incheon Port and Incheon International Airport expanded China -South Korea and air transportation. The Incheon Port and Incheon International Airport signed a cooperation agreement on the 12th to jointly use the advantages of similar geographical location and close logistics to the two major transportation institutions to promote the continued expansion of Huahai Air Freight. The Incheon Airport stated that the Chinese and Korean government is promoting the Incheon -Weihai United Freight Forwarding Service (RFS). Incheon Airport is conducting a separate research on the purpose of activating the comprehensive transportation of China and South Korea.

RFS is a composite transportation service that directly loads the freight truck to the ferry to and from China and South Korea. After getting off the ship, he sailed directly to Incheon International Airport, and then carried the cargo to other countries without a need to transfer. By simplifying the customs procedures, the efficiency of marine and air transportation logistics between China and South Korea is expected to be further improved.

Russian Far East Port Increasing China route

"In the first six months of this year, Russian port cargo turnover decreased by 0.5%year -on -year, but due to a large increase in energy exports to China coal, the number of port transportation in the Far East of Russia showed a rise in ports." The port is mainly transferred to China -related trading products.

At the same time, Russian shipping companies are also stepping up to strengthen their freight with China. In July, Russian transportation company Swift and Inteco Lines opened two container transportation maritime routes between the Russian Far East and China. SWIFT operates direct routes from Dongfang Port in Russia's Barrone Border to China and Taicang Port. The route uses Sol hongkong multi-purpose ships, transporting 2-3 times a month. The ship can carry more than 650 standard boxes, including 30 refrigerated containers.

Inteco Lines connects Russia and China Port in China and Ningbo Port, with the routes every Monday. The Qingdao line container flight was 4 days at the time, and the Ningbo line container flight was 5 days.

Pukhof, the business manager of the Russian Global Port Group, said that the newly launched regular container liner services from the coastal border to Qingdao and Ningbo will meet the needs of Russia's growing demands from Asia to the Far East of Russia. In addition, this will also provide more channels for Russia to export goods to all parts of Asia.

In the first half of this year, the epidemic control measures in some areas such as Shanghai, China, and other regions have affected China and the United States. The "American Ship Else" reported that the port of Los Angeles had fallen by 6.8%in April in April, but since June, the port on the West Coast has been ready to welcome China. According to data from the Southern California Ocean Exchange, 47 container vessels left Asia in Los Angeles or Long Beach in the last week of June. This increases by 27%over the first week of January.
