Recently, a customer told us about his doubts：“I wonder why only Chinese manufacturers respond to our inquiry in hundreds and nobody else. As well Chinese businesses are not ready to import anything to China market but to export only. So sad. you all are working one way only.”

In fact, does China really only have exports, not imports?

According to customs statistics, in 2020, the total value of my country's import and export of goods trade was 32.16 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.9% over 2019. Among them, the export was 17.93 trillion yuan, an increase of 4%; the import was 14.23 trillion yuan, a decrease of 0.7%; the trade surplus was 3.7 trillion yuan, an increase of 27.4%.

According to the data released by the WTO and various countries, in the first 10 months of 2020, the international market shares of my country's import and export, export and import reached 12.8%, 14.2% and 11.5% respectively, which was a significant increase of 0.8, 0.4 and 0.7 percentage points, both hitting record highs.
