Foreign Trade Can Not Be Relaxed.

Data released by the General Administration of Customs showed that in the first 8 months of this year, China's imports and exports were US $2 trillion and 350 billion 970 million, down 7.9% from the same period last year.

Among them, exports amounted to 1 trillion and 352 billion 930 million US dollars, down 7.1%, and imports of US $998 billion 40 million decreased by 9%.

Wang Dongtang, deputy director of the Ministry of foreign trade of the Ministry of Commerce, explained that the decline in foreign trade and import and export continued to narrow and the structure of foreign trade was further optimized. The new development momentum of foreign trade and other new industries was accumulating, and China's foreign trade continued to maintain a stable trend towards 1~8.

At the same time, the whole year's foreign trade situation is still grim and complicated, the downward pressure is bigger, uncertain factors of instability are increasing, and the work of promoting the stabilization of foreign trade is not allowed to slacken.

On the export side, since March,

The cumulative decline in exports has narrowed for 6 consecutive months.

In terms of imports, imports grew by 1.5% in August, the first positive growth since November 2014.

Meanwhile, the cumulative decline in imports during 1~8 months narrowed to 9%, and the cumulative decline has dropped to single digits for the first time this year.

Wang Dongtang analysis pointed out that since March, China's foreign trade has stabilized to a good trend, the import and export decline has continued to narrow, and the import growth has been positive in August. This is due to the fact that the State Council supports the policy of stabilizing foreign trade for the better. It is also related to factors such as lower base year, less working days and the rise of commodity price chain in August.

According to the introduction, the State Council was newly established in 12 cities such as Tianjin earlier this year.

Comprehensive test area.

The Ministry of Commerce has actively guided these new comprehensive pilot areas and refined their plans.

At present, the new comprehensive test area has issued the implementation plan in the name of the provincial people's government. The Ministry of commerce is promoting the implementation with the relevant departments. Based on learning from the "six systems and two platforms" of the Hangzhou comprehensive test area, we will further explore the regulatory mode and management system framework for the development of cross border electricity providers.

"The comprehensive service enterprises of foreign trade have played an important role in promoting the export of small and medium-sized enterprises, and are an important platform and growth point."

Wang Dongtang pointed out that objectively speaking, there are many problems in the development of comprehensive service enterprises, such as too much responsibility, unclear subjects and so on.

At present, the Ministry of Commerce, on the basis of previous comprehensive research, is studying and formulating supporting measures and pilot projects suitable for the development of enterprises themselves in conjunction with customs inspection, taxation and other departments. It hopes to be identified and implemented as soon as possible, so as to provide a good institutional environment and policy support for the development of new trade formats.

In terms of market procurement and trade, the Ministry of Commerce, on the basis of summing up and evaluating the first two batch of pilot experiences in Yiwu, Haining and Haimen, is in line with the relevant departments to advance the third batch of pilot work in an orderly manner.

"The new business mode of foreign trade is a new business model emerging in the current complex competitive environment. It is an important force that drives China's foreign trade growth as well as traditional industries."

Wang Dongtang believes that as a new thing, the scale of the new trade format of foreign trade is relatively limited, but it has increased rapidly, and has a good role in promoting the radiation. It is of great help to the capacity building of China's small and medium-sized enterprises and the diversification of the main body of foreign trade.
