Gao Hucheng: Confident That This Year'S Foreign Trade Will Stabilize.

Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng, on the 20 day of the China Development Summit held by the development research center of the State Council, said that this year we are confident of achieving the goal of stabilizing the foreign trade in the government work report.

Next, we will accelerate the promotion of pilot experience in FTA pilot areas and further liberalize foreign investment in the service sector.

This year's government work report has not set quantitative goals for import and export in 2016, but is qualitatively expressed as a "stable return" for foreign trade.

In this regard, Gao Hu City should return to the forum that since the beginning of reform and opening up, most of the years have quantified targets, and some years have not set quantitative targets.

Because there are many uncertain factors, qualitative goals are often set up in this year.

He said that our country

Trade declined in 1 and February this year to see global performance.

1, Global trade declined more widely in February, and there was also a Spring Festival factor in China.

First two months

It does not represent the trend of the whole year.

"At the present time, we are confident that we will achieve a good overall stability in foreign trade this year in the government work report."

Gao Hucheng said that China's foreign trade structure adjustment did not start in the past two years, but after the financial crisis has begun to quietly adjust.

The adjustment of industries, products and markets has already begun, and new formats such as cross-border electricity suppliers and comprehensive market procurement are emerging.

For example, 70% of exports last year were manufacturing exports, with exports of high-end manufacturing and technology products increasing by more than 15%.

Therefore, we can not see and explain the deep-seated changes in China's foreign trade in traditional ways.

He said that China is already a veritable trading power. "

During this period, we will implement the strategy of "better progress and better output" and accelerate the pace of building China into a powerful trading nation.

China's service trade accounts for only 15.2% of foreign trade, which is relatively low.

At present, the added value of the third industry has accounted for more than 50% of the national economy, and the proportion of foreign trade in service trade has exceeded 60%. The trade in services is fully and conditionally developing faster and better during the "13th Five-Year" period.

"China's goods trade has been the first in the world. The next step is to promote the integration and interaction of trade and investment, speed up the development of new trade modes and new trade formats, such as cross-border e-commerce, and optimize the products, market and regional structure of foreign trade, and turn to high quality, high price, excellent progress and excellence."

He said.
