Ministry of Commerce: Imports of Goods and Services to Exceed $15 Trillion During the 14th Five-Year Plan Period. Vice Minister of Commerce Sheng Qiuping stated at a State Council Information Office press conference on the 28th that the 8th CIIE (China International Import Expo) boasted over 367,000 square meters of exhibition space, with 4,108 companies from 138 countries and regions participating. American companies have maintained the largest exhibition area for seven consecutive years, demonstrating the international community's unwavering confidence in the Chinese economy. China has been the world's second-largest import market for 16 consecutive years, and imports of goods and services are expected to exceed $15 trillion during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. With the middle-income population expected to exceed 800 million over the next decade, this massive market presents enormous potential. Backed by the vast Chinese market, the CIIE, with cumulative intended transaction volume exceeding $500 billion over the past seven editions, has helped companies from around the world jointly navigate the challenges of international market volatility, demonstrating China's commitment to sharing market opportunities.
