Ministry of Commerce: Will actively respond to the demands of trading partners and continuously optimize import facilitation measures.

Vice Minister of Commerce Yan Dong stated at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that over the past year, we have adhered to a coordinated approach of "policies + activities + platforms," carrying out nearly 100 "Export to China" activities to provide more channels for quality products from various countries to enter the Chinese market. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, in the first nine months of this year, China's imports reached 16.7 trillion yuan, an increase of 22.3%, the fastest growth rate since 2021. Over the past year, the preparations for the China International Import Expo have been deeply integrated with the "Export to China" brand activities, with the following main features: First, jointly enhancing international influence. Second, collaboratively expanding the Chinese market. Third, jointly unleashing the dividends of import policies. Next, we will actively respond to the demands of trading partners, continuously optimize import facilitation measures, and promote China's vast market as a market shared by the world.
