Key Points:
- China remains the No. 2 global import market, with rising import volumes.
- Major ports like Shanghai and Ningbo–Zhoushan hit new throughput milestones.
- Import expansion supports global demand and China’s high-level opening-up strategy.
Beijing, China—China’s ongoing efforts to expand imports and open its markets are showing strong results at major seaports, reflecting resilient trade momentum and rising global demand—even in a challenging international economic environment.
Analysts say expanded imports are a key part of Beijing’s strategy to share opportunities from its vast domestic market with global partners.
China has maintained its position as the world’s second-largest import market for 17 consecutive years, with import volumes rising and broadening across more than 130 countries and regions.
Meanwhile, major Chinese ports continued to set new records last year, as container throughput at key hubs like Shanghai and Ningbo–Zhoushan increased significantly, helping drive higher volumes of global cargo movement through China’s logistic network.
