Spokesperson's Remarks｜China's diversified and stable market cannot be changed by tariff or trade wars

Commenting on a reporter's inquiry on the continued growth of China's foreign trade, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press conference on Thursday that China's quality products are popular around the world and its diversified and stable market is favored by many. This is not something that could be changed by tariff or trade wars.

Recently, China released the economic data for July, in which foreign trade was a highlight, with import and export of goods hit a new high in this year. Comments say that the continued growth of China's foreign trade speaks to the extensive global recognition of Chinese goods, and this will continue to drive the growth of China's economy. However, other analysis shows that the tariff war and other external risks have dealt a blow to global trade and mount pressure on China's export market.

Mao noted that despite the complex and volatile external environment, China's foreign trade has continued to perform well. That reflects the strong resilience of China's economy and booming global demand for Chinese products. This is the combined result of China's effort to expand high-standard opening up, promote high-quality development, and improve and upgrade industries. Facts have proven that international trade based on comparative advantages enables common development and benefits all parties.

"China will continue to share its development opportunities with other countries through open cooperation for win-win results," Mao added. (By Ma Ziqian/China Youth Daily)
