Foreign trade scale exceeded the 40 trillion yuan mark for the first time, maintaining the status of the first country in trade in goods for six consecutive years, and the international market share of exports ranked first in the world for 14 consecutive years ......2022, China's foreign trade withstood the impact of multiple factors beyond expectations and continued to maintain stable growth on the basis of a high base in 2021, demonstrating the resistance of China's economy to The ability of China's economy to resist the challenges of risk and the vitality of life.

Achievements are not easy to come by. On the one hand, China's economic resilience, potential, vitality, long-term positive fundamentals have not changed; on the other hand, it is also inseparable from the local, various departments and the majority of foreign trade enterprises to rise to the challenge, the joint efforts of the hard work, inseparable from the country's introduction of a package of stable economic policies and successive measures to ensure smooth passage, increase fiscal and financial support, encourage the development of new forms of foreign trade, support foreign trade enterprises to ensure orders to expand the market The effective empowerment and strong support.

At present, the risk of global recession, the continued slowdown in foreign demand growth has become the biggest pressure on foreign trade to stabilize growth. 2023, China's foreign trade how to continue to bear the pressure of moving forward, in promoting a higher level of opening up to the outside world to take new steps?

In this regard, we need to have both dialectical thinking, but also a broad vision. First, while facing up to the various difficulties and challenges facing the development of foreign trade, we must firmly promote the stability of foreign trade scale, excellent structure of confidence; second, we must see that with the continuous optimization of the epidemic prevention and control measures, economic and social development vitality increasingly revived, this year, China's economy is expected to rebound in general, which also brings a lot of favorable conditions for the development of foreign trade.

Of course, in the firm confidence at the same time, China's foreign trade to embrace a more colorful future, but also need to have a real initiative, the most prominent of which is to more vigorously stimulate the expansion of a high level of opening up to the outside world, the construction of a strong trade power of new dynamics. The author believes that three aspects of the work should be done.

New momentum from the effective stimulation of the main body of foreign trade vitality. 2022, China has import and export performance of 598,000 foreign trade enterprises, an increase of 5.6%. In particular, the proportion of private enterprises import and export scale reached 50.9%, accounting for more than half of the annual ratio for the first time, the first main body of foreign trade continues to consolidate its position. The future, through a variety of ways to continue to consolidate and grow the scale of foreign trade enterprises strength and competitiveness, and promote its international market with a more proud stature to ride the wave.

The new momentum comes from the release of dividends of foreign trade system innovation. It should be seen that the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), the continued expansion of system-based opening of the pilot free trade zones, and the increasing degree of cross-border trade facilitation. In recent years, foreign trade system innovation has become the new grip of high-quality development of trade, the next step is to continue to accelerate the implementation of policy implementation to promote its increasingly become a new driving force in building a strong trade country.

New momentum from the growing "circle of friends". 2022, China's exports to ASEAN, the EU and other major trading partners have maintained rapid growth; exports to countries along the "Belt and Road" grew by 20%, boosting overall export growth of 6.1 percentage points The export growth to the countries along the "Belt and Road" is 20%, driving the overall export growth of 6.1 percent. It can be said that, as long as we continue to maintain trade advantages with traditional partners, and powerful development of emerging markets, and constantly consolidate and broaden the foreign trade "circle of friends", China's foreign trade "upward growth" has a more solid support base.

For China's foreign trade, the main product competitive advantage, exports have a market, the potential for domestic demand, imports have support, the development of strong endogenous power, policy support. We believe that, driven by the high level of openness, China's foreign trade to deal with uncertainty, the ability to enhance the domestic and international double cycle to further smooth, will make more contributions to promote the overall economic upturn.
