Shen Danyang, spokesman of China's Ministry of Commerce, said that China did not deliberately pursue the favorable balance of foreign trade. Expanding imports will remain one of the main focuses of China's foreign trade policy this year.

Data display.

In 1-2 months of 2015, China's total import and export volume was 3 trillion and 790 billion yuan, down 2% from the same period last year.

Among them, export growth was 15.3% year-on-year, imports fell 19.9% from the same period, and the trade surplus was 737 billion 400 million yuan, and increased by 11.6 times.

In the first two months, trade operation showed a large fluctuation in export growth and a continuous negative growth in imports.

Shen Danyang, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said: "affected by the Spring Festival and other factors, the export growth rate in the first two months has been greatly fluctuated.

From the data point of view, it dropped by 3.2% in January and 48.9% in February.

Under the drag of international commodity prices and weak domestic demand, the growth rate of imports nationwide continued to slow down, down by 19.7% and 20.1% in 1 and February respectively.

Why?

The export fluctuations in 1 and February are related to the Spring Festival, and the sharp increase in exports in February is also related to the economic recovery in Europe and America and the new tax rebate policy in China.

"Seasonal factors were affected by the Spring Festival holidays. Last year, enterprises seized exports in January, and this year concentrated in the first 2 months of this year. Affected by this factor, the digital base in February last year was lower, pushing up the growth rate of February this year; second, the external demand of the main developed countries was warmer; in February, the growth rate of the United States in 48.5% and Europe was 44.2% high; the third was

In January 1st, the export tax rebate rate of textile and garment increased, and the policy was effective.

From the data point of view, the growth of textile and clothing exports in February was nearly doubled.

In view of the continuous negative growth of imports, Shen Danyang said that the Chinese government does not deliberately pursue the trade surplus, and expanding imports will remain one of the main focuses of China's foreign trade policy this year.

"

It is not only a deliberate pursuit of trade surplus.

On the contrary, over the past few years, we have been trying every possible way to promote the growth of imports and look around the world. You may not find second countries, such as China, that encourage expansion of imports.

Although the scale of China's imports has been expanding, it has ranked the second in the world for five consecutive years, but our trade surplus is still large because our exports are growing faster.

Therefore, expanding imports will continue to be one of the main focuses of China's foreign trade policy this year.

In October last year, the general office of the State Council issued some opinions on strengthening imports. It proposed that we should accelerate the implementation of the positive import promotion strategy, encourage the expansion of import of advanced technology and equipment and key parts, stabilize the import of domestic resources, increase the import of general consumers reasonably, meet the domestic production and living needs, and promote the pformation and upgrading of domestic economy and structural adjustment.

These are the main directions and measures for expanding import and maintaining trade balance this year. We should further intensify our efforts this year to implement them.

In addition, in 1-2 months of this year, China's actual use of foreign capital amounted to 138 billion 190 million yuan, an increase of 17% over the same period last year. Investors in China made direct investments in 1684 overseas enterprises in 136 countries / regions, and the total investment reached 106 billion 780 million yuan (equivalent to 17 billion 420 million US dollars), an increase of 51% over the same period last year.
