China's foreign trade is rewriting the rulebook ! For the seventh year running, the country has clinched the top spot in global goods trade, with partnerships spanning over 150 countries and regions – think of it as the ultimate economic \"collab\" of the decade.
Customs data reveals China’s 2023 trade soared to 17 trillion yuan ($2.34 trillion) higher than 2012 levels – that’s like adding a mid-sized nation’s economy every year! The number of foreign trade enterprises has nearly doubled since 2012, proving that #HustleCulture isn’t just a TikTok trend.
But here’s the real plot twist : High-tech exports (think cutting-edge EVs and next-gen gadgets) jumped 6% last year, now making up nearly a fifth of total exports. Move over, traditional manufacturing – China’s trade game is getting a tech upgrade!
