China Customs: There is still big room for import growth this year


An official at China Customs said on Monday that “there is still big room for China's import growth this year.”

Additional headlines

China's 2024 imports value at CNY18.39 trillion.

China’s 2024 Yuan-denominated imports +2.3% YoY.

China’s 2024 Yuan-denominated exports +7.1% YoY.

China’s 2024 trade balance $992.16 billion.

China's imports were impacted by global commodities price changes in the second half of 2024.

Some countries' 'politicization of economic and trade issues' and 'abuse of export controls' also impacted China's imports last year.

We will roll out more targeted measures at proper time to stabilise trade.

China's trade surplus out of GDP is at a reasonable level.

No matter how the external environment changes, China will firmly push forward opening up.

China firmly opposes trade protectionism.

Despite rising uncertainties and challenges in external environment, we are sure China's exports will show resilience and vitality in 2025.

The so-called china's overcapacity does not exist, not matter looking it from china's comparative advantages or global market demand.

The repetitive hype-up of China's overcapacity in fact is cracking down on china's development.

China has always followed WTO rules.

The innovation and upgrades of China's steel industry mainly satisfy domestic steel market.

Some countries' trade protectionism on China's steel hurt global trade rules and pushed up downstream production costs.

They are not conducive to global supply chain stabilisation, and not helpful to resolve their own problems.
