Foreign trade to stay robust on reliable fundamentals

The nation’s imports and exports hit US$6.05 trillion (RM25.27 trillion) in 2021, setting a new record following a previous high of US$4 trillion (RM16.71 trillion) in 2013, according to data released by the General Administration of Customs (GAC).

BEIJING: Supported by reliable fundamentals and the strong resilience of the Chinese economy, the nation’s foreign trade is expected to sustain its upward momentum this year and make more contributions to stabilising global industrial and supply chains.

This is despite various challenges such as the high comparison base last year and the slowdown in the global economic rebound, according to officials and experts.
