The scale of trade continued to expand
From the exhibition of only a few microwave ovens and rice cookers to the appearance of smart appliances in the whole house, from "grabbing" orders at the exhibition site to online and offline multi-channel expansion... Over the past 20 years, taking the east wind of the Canton Fair, Galanz has opened the international market, and its products sell well in more than 200 countries and regions.
We have built international economic and trade cooperation platforms such as the Canton Fair, the China International Trade Fair and the trade in services Fair. China has actively participated in global economic and trade cooperation, promoted trade liberalization and facilitation, and made new breakthroughs in trade scale. The total import and export value of goods trade has increased from 57 billion yuan in 1980 to more than 32 trillion yuan in 2020. China's trade scale has continued to expand.
In 2018, the scale of China's import and export of goods exceeded the 30 trillion yuan mark for the first time. In 2020, under the complex and severe external situation, the total import and export value of China's goods trade reached 32.16 trillion yuan, a record high, becoming the only major economy in the world to achieve positive growth in goods trade, and further consolidating its position as the largest country in goods trade. In the first 11 months of 2021, the total import and export value of China's goods trade reached 35.39 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22%. Among them, imports and exports to major trading partners such as ASEAN, the European Unio and the United States maintained double-digit growth.
Building a "one belt, one road" has opened up new space for world economic growth and opened up a new world for China's foreign trade development. All localities have made great efforts to optimize the trade structure and promote the orderly and free flow of international and domestic factors, efficient allocation of resources and deep integration of the market. One belt, one road, and the other three countries, the growth of imports and exports of the 23.4% countries along the first two quarters of 2021 was increased.
In recent years, China has accelerated the cultivation of new formats and models of foreign trade and gathered new momentum for foreign trade development. In July 2021, the general office of the State Council issued the opinions on accelerating the development of new forms and models of foreign trade, which defined the direction for the development of new forms and models of foreign trade in the medium and long term.
