China'S Total Value Of Goods Trade Ranks First In The World In 2015.

According to customs statistics, in 2015, China's goods

In December last month, the total value of China's imports and exports was 2 trillion and 480 billion yuan, down 0.5%.

Of which, exports were 1 trillion and 430 billion yuan, an increase of 2.3%, and imports of 1 trillion and 50 billion yuan, down 4%.

Huang Songping, spokesman of the General Administration of customs, said at a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council on 13 July that in 2015, China's import and export value declined, but China's exports were still significantly better than those of the world's major economies.

Combined with the trade situation of the world's major economies, China will remain the world's first place in the total value of goods trade in 2015, and the export market share will reach 13%, which will continue to increase compared with the previous year.

The mode of trade is more reasonable and the terms of trade are further improved.

In 2015, China's foreign trade import and export declined from an export perspective. The main reason is that the external demand is depressed and the growth of China's exports is inhibited.

According to the data released by the world trade organization, the value of global exports fell by more than 11% in the first 10 months of last year, of which US exports decreased by 6.5%, the European Union decreased by 13.2%, and Japan decreased by 9.5%.

In the same period, China's exports fell by 2.5%, which is obviously better than that of the world's major economies.

From the point of view of imports, it is mainly international.

Low prices have lowered import values.

In 2015, the average price of imports of iron ore, coal, refined oil, copper and other bulk commodities in China decreased by 39%, 21.8%, 38.3% and 17.1% respectively.

In 2015, China's foreign trade development still showed some positive changes and highlights:

The mode of trade is more reasonable.

In 2015, China's general trade import and export value was 13 trillion and 290 billion yuan, a decrease of 6.5%, accounting for 54% of the total import and export value, representing a 0.3 percentage point increase over the previous year, of which the export growth was 2.2%.

Positive progress has been made in the diversification of trading partners.

China's trade with emerging markets such as ASEAN and India has been relatively better, with a slight decrease of 0.6% in bilateral trade to ASEAN and an increase of 2.5% in India, which is better than the overall situation of imports and exports.

The structure of export commodities is further optimized.

The export of electromechanical products increased by 8 trillion and 150 billion yuan, an increase of 1.2%, accounting for 57.7% of the total export value, representing a 1.7 percentage point increase over the previous year.

The total export value of labor intensive products, such as textiles, clothing, bags, footwear, toys, furniture, plastic products and other 7 categories, was 2 trillion and 930 billion yuan, down 1.7%, accounting for 20.7% of the total value of exports.

Imports of some bulk commodities continued to grow, and terms of trade further improved.

In 2015, China's import price fell by 11.6%.

In the same period, China's export prices fell by 1%, or less than the decline in import prices.

According to this calculation, China's trade price index in 2015 was 112.1, indicating that a certain number of goods exported to China could be exchanged for more than 12.1% of imports. This means that China's trade price conditions have improved significantly and foreign trade benefits have been improved.

Fostering new advantages of international competition and forming a new pattern of foreign trade opening up

In 2016, the world economy will continue to maintain low growth and low external demand. China's foreign trade development is still facing many difficulties.

In December last year, China's foreign trade export index was 31.2, down 0.8 from November, indicating that China's export pressure is still relatively large in the first quarter of this year.

In the face of unfavorable situation, we need to accelerate the formation of a new pattern of foreign trade opening, actively foster new advantages in international competition, and promote the development of higher quality and more effective foreign trade.

In 2015, two changes in China's foreign trade are worth noting: first, the emerging trade formats have injected new vitality into foreign trade.

The two is to get good results and achieve new results.

Since 2015, China's emerging trade formats have grown vigorously.

And other emerging trade formats such as market procurement have been developing rapidly.

Since the launch of cross-border e-commerce retail import business, as of the end of November 2015, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other 7 pilot cities have accumulated more than 100 million parcels, with a value of over 15 billion 500 million yuan.

In terms of excellence and superiority, in 2015, the export of mobile phones increased by 8.8%, and the exports of medical equipment and instruments increased by 7.2%. In the import side, the import of advanced technology, key equipment and important parts and accessories were more emphasized, with the import of high-tech products increased by 0.7%, accounting for 32.6% of the total value of imports, and 4.5 percentage points higher.

In 2015, the Customs issued a number of policies and measures to improve the efficiency of customs clearance and reduce the export cost of enterprises.

The customs also vigorously promotes the abolition and decentralization of administrative examination and approval matters, establishes a new mechanism for standardized management of administrative examination and approval, comprehensively cleanup matters involving intermediary services and optimizes internal merger matters, and actively promotes the successful experience of Shanghai free trade area.

All these measures will play a catalytic role in the development of foreign trade.
