(ECNS) -- China’s foreign trade in goods reached 45.47 trillion yuan ($6.41 trillion) in 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of 3.8% and maintaining China’s position as the world’s largest trader in goods, according to Wang Jun, vice minister of the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC).
The data were released on Wednesday at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office (SCIO).
Wang noted that China’s trade ties continued to expand in both scope and depth. In 2025, imports and exports with more than 190 countries and regions recorded growth. Trade with Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partners totaled RMB 23.6 trillion, up 6.3% year on year, accounting for 51.9% of China’s total foreign trade. Trade with ASEAN, Latin America and Africa reached RMB 7.55 trillion, RMB 3.93 trillion and RMB 2.49 trillion, growing by 8%, 6.5% and 18.4% respectively, highlighting the steady diversification of China’s trading partners.
China’s market vitality continued to strengthen. In 2025, China recorded over 780,000 business entities engaged in export and import.. Private enterprises remained the main driving force of foreign trade, with their imports and exports rising 7.1% to RMB 26.04 trillion. Their share of China’s total trade value climbed to 57.3%, underscoring the growing role of private businesses in stabilizing and expanding trade.
The structure of exports also showed clear signs of upgrading. China’s exports of high-tech products rose 13.2% year on year to RMB 5.25 trillion. Green and low-carbon products performed particularly strongly, with exports of the “new three” — new energy vehicles, lithium batteries and solar panels — increasing by 27.1%, while exports of wind turbine generator systems surged by 48.7%. Meanwhile, exports of products under Chinese self-owned brands grew by 12.9%, with their share in total exports rising by 1.4 percentage points.
