[my country's Goods Imports Expected to Reach a New High This Year] At a press conference held this afternoon (September 18) by the State Council Information Office, an official from the Ministry of Commerce stated that China, as the world's largest goods trading nation, continues to drive global trade growth. According to the WTO's first-quarter global trade data released in July, China contributed 2.1 percentage points to global trade growth, accounting for 20.3% of the total. Leveraging its complete industrial system and supporting industries, China provides manufacturing equipment and other industrial products to various countries, especially developing countries, providing crucial support for these countries to develop their real economies, upgrade their industrialization levels, and integrate into global supply chains, effectively supporting the stable operation of global supply chains. At the same time, my country adheres to a dual-drive approach of "policy + activities" to expand imports, with the benefits of its massive market reaching the world. Zhang Li, Assistant Minister of Commerce, stated that from January to August this year, my country's imports grew by 22%, the fastest growth since 2021, and the total import value for the year is expected to reach a new high. More and more high-quality global goods are entering the Chinese consumer market and integrating into China's supply chain system, bringing more orders to companies in various countries, promoting the development of their related industries, and increasing local employment.
