The relevant reports of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the World Trade Organization have pointed out that the epidemic has severely disrupted the global economy, leading to a sharp and sharp decline in international trade in 2020 and almost collapsed at one time, reaching a record level. In 2020, global trade in goods fell 5.6% year-on-year, which was the largest year-on-year decline in goods trade since the 2008 international financial crisis. In such a severe trade environment, China's foreign trade performance has exceeded expectations.
Customs statistics show that my country's foreign trade imports and exports have achieved positive growth for seven consecutive months starting from June 2020. In 2020, my country's total trade import and export value was 32.16 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.9%. The trade surplus was 3.7 trillion yuan, an increase of 27.4%. The total value of imports and exports in the whole year both hit record highs, and the international market share also set a record high, becoming the only major economy in the world to achieve positive growth in goods trade.
