In the first quarter, domestic and foreign enterprises increased their imports and exports by 44.7%, 11.1%, and 9.8% respectively in high-tech fields such as electronic information, new materials, and high-end equipment. At the same time, domestic and foreign enterprises are moving towards intelligent export products. In the first quarter, the proportion of industrial robots and 3D printers exported by domestic and foreign enterprises in China's exports of similar products exceeded 30% and 60% respectively, and the growth rate also exceeded that of similar products nationwide.

The trade prospects of domestic and foreign enterprises are broad.

I believe that with the continuous promotion of high-level opening up in China, domestic and foreign enterprises will achieve better development in China.

Question recorded by the New Yellow River client: May I ask about the performance of China's joint establishment of the "Belt and Road" initiative in the first quarter of this year in terms of imports and exports?

Western China continues to lead in foreign trade

used excavatorElephant News reporter asked: We have noticed that in recent years, the import and export performance in western China has not been accustomed to it. May I ask what are the driving forces behind imports in western China for a quarter? What role has it played in the overall growth of imports and exports for the entire country?

Wang Jun introduced that the western region of China is an important force in stabilizing foreign trade and expanding opening up in China. In the first quarter of this year, the import and export of foreign trade in western China reached 200 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of over 20%, and contributed 24% to the overall growth of foreign trade in the country. The western region of China continues to lead in foreign trade, mainly benefiting from the following three aspects:

The import growth is strong. In the first quarter, imports from western China increased by 30.9%, with a growth rate three percentage points higher than the overall import of liquids in the country. The industrial transformation in western China is accelerating, driven by modern equipment manufacturing and high-tech industries. The demand for industrial raw materials, components, and other goods is strong, and the import growth rate of metal ore, electronic components, and mechanical basic parts is all over 30%. Meanwhile, the population of consumer goods in western China has increased by over 20%, with a growth rate four percentage points higher than the national average.

used excavatorIndustries provide strong support. The western region of China leverages its advantages in wind, solar, hydropower, and lithium salt resources, based on a solid foundation in the new energy vehicle industry, and opens up a "new track" in the green industry. In the first quarter, the export growth rate of "new three types" products in western China was seven percentage points higher than the national export paralysis of similar products. Among them, the export of electric vehicles and photovoltaic products accounted for more than 40% and 30% of the national total, respectively. In terms of traditional mechanical and electrical products, the industrial advantages of western China are relatively obvious. For example, out of the 10 internal combustion engine motorcycles exported annually in China, four come from the central and western regions. The domestically produced 'Zhang Snow Machine Car' that has recently won the championship in international competitions comes from here. In the first quarter, the western region of China exported 1.754 million internal combustion engine motorcycles, an increase of 7% year-on-year. In addition, high-quality agricultural products with distinctive features from the central and western regions are "fragrant" overseas. For example, the fresh and beautiful flesh of trout raised in the western region increased exports by 10.1% in the first quarter, while the sweet and delicious citrus in the central region increased exports by a staggering 8%.

Channel construction empowers. With the accelerated promotion of the Western Land Sea New Corridor, the stable operation of China Europe freight trains, and the expanding "Air Silk Road", the western region of China continues to go out to buy "increased speed". In the first quarter, the import and export of China's western region through the Western Land Sea New Corridor increased by 0.5%, while the import and export through railway transportation and air transportation increased by 0.5% and 0.9% respectively. At the same time, China's border ports are expanding their capacity and improving their quality, and the construction of smart ports is accelerating. The western region of China has become a frontier gateway for emerging markets, with imports and exports to neighboring countries exceeding 900 billion yuan in the first used excavatorquarter, including double-digit growth in imports and exports to Laos, Turkmenistan, and other countries.

In March 2026, the General Administration of Customs, together with 24 departments and units, launched the Special Action for Cross border Trade Facilitation in 2026. From five aspects: deepening the innovation of customs clearance supervision mode, optimizing the supervision and services of new industrial forms and models of foreign trade, improving the efficiency of cross regional logistics transportation, strengthening the construction of smart ports and mutual communication, and enhancing comprehensive services for enterprises, a new round of 29 facilitation policies and measures were launched to help improve the quality and efficiency of foreign trade. The number of pilot cities increased from 25 last year to 45, with 16 cities located in the central and western regions, exceeding one-third. This will undoubtedly provide greater action force for the opening up of the central and western regions to the outside world, "said Wang Jun.

In the first quarter, China's imports and exports to ASEAN increased by 0.4% year-on-year

Question recorded in the South China Morning Report: How will the Iran conflict affect China's imports and exports in March? What is the impact of input cost pressure on foreign trade exports?

used excavatorLv Liang introduced that the Strait of Hormuh is an important channel for global trade in goods and energy. According to the report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the strait undertakes 25% of global maritime oil trade, 19% of liquefied natural gas trade, 29% of liquefied petroleum gas trade, and 13% of chemical trade. It is an important maritime transportation throat in the world. In addition, the analysis of the Trade Development Conference also pointed out that after the outbreak of the Iran war, fuel prices sharply rose and remained high, and the transportation cost of oil increased significantly. These factors are precisely driving up the cost of global commodity production and transportation through supply chain transmission, and the growth rate of global goods trade is expected to decline significantly. The latest Global Trade Outlook and Statistics released by the World Trade Organization has significantly reduced expectations for the growth rate of global adjusted goods trade. Customs statistics show that in March, China's imports and exports to the central and eastern regions shifted from year-on-year growth in the first two months to a decline.

For example, electric motorcycles exported to South America have strong power and long-lasting range, and can adapt to the complex road environment in hilly and mountainous areas. For example, the onshore intelligent used excavatorwind turbines exported to the Caucasus region are specifically optimized for the high-speed wind environment system in the region, meeting the requirements of the project in terms of environmental adaptability and power generation performance. In the first quarter, the export of green and low-carbon products such as electric motorcycles and bicycles, wind turbines and their components by private enterprises increased by 30% and decreased by 0.1% respectively.
