China's trade with Belt & Road partner countries hit a staggering 23.6 trillion yuan ($3.38 trillion) in 2025, growing 6.3% year-on-year—outpacing overall foreign trade growth by 2.5 percentage points. 🌍💼 These nations now account for 51.9% of China's total trade, cementing their role as economic anchors in a shifting global landscape.
"This year marks a new chapter," said Bao Shujun of the National Development and Reform Commission, outlining plans to supercharge two-way investments during the 2026-2030 Five-Year Plan. Think green energy megaprojects, AI-driven logistics, and cross-border digital ecosystems. 🚀 The strategy? Turn the Innovation, Digital, and Green Silk Roads into reality—faster.
Young entrepreneurs, take note: With China prioritizing tech collaboration and sustainable infrastructure, opportunities abound from Jakarta to Budapest. As Bao told CGTN, "It's not just about building roads anymore—it's about building the future." 💡
