Results show that China's country specific voluntary standards promote China's foreign trade and the impact on exports is larger than on imports. China's internationally harmonized voluntary standards have the strongest positive impact, especially on imports. China's country specific mandatory standards increase imports while decreasing exports. China's internationally harmonized mandatory standards are favorable for China's foreign trade development. China's country specific voluntary standards and internationally harmonized standards contribute to promoting China's trade surplus with the US.展开更多

The participation of the Chinese economy in the global production chains through processing activities is no longer the main driver of its trade performance. The new driving force of change is ordinary trade, based mainly on local inputs and domestic demand. China, which played a major role in the globalization process as an export base for multinational companies, is now shifting to having a "'normal'foreign trade system, which is more closely integrated into the domestic economy.展开更多

Of the total, exports topped US$266.16 billion, 6.8% up over the previous year, imports reached US$243.61 billion, up 8.2%, and accumulated trade surplus climbed to US$22.55 billion. The results were fairly outstanding if we take a general look at the world economy, which experienced significant slowdown in 2001 mainly due to the serious downturns in the United States and Japan. The increase can be attributed to a number of factors including the rise展开更多

The latest General Customs'statistics showing that by November 20, 2004,China's foreign trade has topped 1 trillion and reached RMB 1.0017 trillion, marking a new leap of China's foreign trade.

Foreign trade, as a big stage for China's economic cooperation, shows the six features as No.1, top 3, 10%, US$10 billion, US$100 billion, and US$1 trillion.……展开更多
