In the first two months of 2025, China's export scale hit a record high in the same period, showing strong competitiveness. General Administration of Customs: The total export value hit a record high in the same period

In the first two months of 2025, China's total import and export value of goods trade was 6.54 trillion yuan. Among them, exports were 3.88 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.4%; imports were 2.66 trillion yuan, a decrease of 7.3%. The export scale hit a record high in the same period.

Lu Daliang, Director of the Statistical Analysis Department of the General Administration of Customs, said that in the first two months, all localities and departments actively responded to the adverse impact of the external environment, and my country's foreign trade operation was generally stable. Compared with 2024, the first two months of 2025 were less than two working days. Excluding incomparable factors, imports and exports increased by 1.7%, fully reflecting the resilience of my country's foreign trade development. Many factors help "Made in China" sell well overseas

"Made in China" sells well overseas. First of all, China has the most complete industrial chain. The manufacturing cluster has improved production efficiency and reduced production costs. Coupled with continuous innovation and technological empowerment, China's manufacturing has a competitive advantage of high quality and low price.

The country has introduced a series of policies such as export tax rebates and promoting trade facilitation to support it, as well as a developed and smooth logistics system, which have enabled China's exports to maintain growth. The improvement of domestic manufacturing industry demand has driven the growth of imports of related products

Since 2025, with the resumption of work and production of China's manufacturing industry and the growth of investment demand, the demand for raw materials market has continued to rebound, driving the growth of imports of related products.

Lu Daliang said that in February, my country's manufacturing PMI index returned to the expansion range, and the production demand of industries such as general equipment and electrical machinery and equipment was released rapidly, driving the rapid growth of imports of related equipment and key components. The innovation strength of private enterprises continues to be reflected

Private enterprises have the advantages of flexible response to market changes, strong ability to innovate and control costs, and diversified market layout. They have maintained their position as the largest foreign trade operator in my country for six consecutive years.

Customs statistics show that in the first two months of 2025, China's private enterprises imported and exported 3.69 trillion yuan, an increase of 2%, accounting for 56.4% of China's total foreign trade value during the same period. Among them, private enterprises imported and exported high-tech products by 624 billion yuan, accounting for 49.3% of the total import and export value of similar products.
