Behind China's foreign trade volume breaking through $6 trillion for the first time: "comprehensive reversal" and "super energy"

In 2021, China's import and export scale hit a record high, and when it comes to China's foreign trade performance in 2021, Liu Yuanchun, vice president of Chinese University and economic expert, gave a four-word evaluation of "comprehensive reversal".

Liu Yuanchun said that there have been arguments in the West to play up China's so-called foreign capital flight and export winter, in fact, a comprehensive reversal.

This year, in US dollar terms, the import and export scale of mainland trade in goods exceeded 6 trillion US dollars for the first time, setting a record high. On the day of the release of China's economic annual report, Lu Feng, deputy director of the Department of Comprehensive Statistics of the National Economy of the National Bureau of Statistics, further judged in an interview with CCTV News "Theory of Relativity" that there are still many favorable factors for the growth of mainland foreign trade in 2022, which will not only drive the mainland's economic growth, but also continue to support the recovery of the world economy.

Liu Yuanchun believes that the reason why China's foreign trade can rise against the trend and become the anchor of stability in the global economy and globalization is that one relies on China's anti-epidemic model, and the other relies on China's complete industrial chain and supply chain. ”

In his view, although the global industrial chain and supply chain are vulnerable in the traditional model, they also have strong vitality, "In the future, many countries will be localized in key links, but some daily necessities will still follow the traditional market principles and produce on the basis of the global supply chain, and it is difficult for some Western countries to use the epidemic to decouple from globalization."

Previously, some analysts believed that with the recovery of the global economy and the changes in the epidemic situation, China's foreign trade would fall from the high point. Lü Feng responded in the CCTV news "Theory of Relativity" that pressure exists, and favorable factors are also accumulating, "The mainland is now the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries and regions in the world, and the overall recovery of the world economic situation will greatly stimulate demand; the accelerated evolution of Opichron has led to the still tightness of foreign labor, and we can give full play to the advantages of production capacity to support the recovery of the world economy." ”

Lu Feng also mentioned that the foreign trade policy will also continue to exert force, and the "Opinions on Doing a Good Job of Cross-cycle Adjustment to Further Stabilize Foreign Trade" recently issued by the State Council will provide strong support for stabilizing foreign trade.
