Core point of view: Economic Daily-China Economic Net commentator Mr. Zifang believes that relying on the driving force of foreign trade, the potential of domestic demand will be brought into play, the domestic market and the international market will be better connected, and my country will be able to participate in international cooperation and competition. The efficiency and level of the large-scale cycle, and the improvement of the quality and allocation level of my country's production factors, will surely promote the Chinese economy to ride the wind and waves, and move forward steadily.

　　"The direction against the wind is more suitable for flying." In an extraordinary 2020, China's foreign trade has its own "stubbornness."

The 2020 foreign trade “transcript” recently released by the General Administration of Customs shows that China’s total import and export value was 32.16 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.9%, making it the only major economy in the world that achieved positive growth in trade in goods.

　　This is a pretty remarkable achievement.

Faced with the impact of the epidemic, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have closely followed and judged the foreign trade situation, and timely introduced policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade.

Speed ​​up export tax rebates, expand the scale of corporate credit, rely on large e-commerce platforms to strengthen direct loans to small, medium and micro foreign trade companies, and enhance the capacity of freight channels such as China-Europe express trains... This series of deployments has always anchored and stabilized the basic foreign trade and safeguarded the world The supply chain of the industrial chain is stable.

　　At the same time, my country has achieved remarkable results in accelerating the cultivation of new forms and models of foreign trade.

In the first three quarters of 2020, my country's import and export through the customs cross-border e-commerce management platform was 187.39 billion yuan, an increase of 52.8%, and market procurement exports were 509.86 billion yuan, an increase of 35.5%.

From January to November, the export value of market procurement trade was 639.892 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.7%.

New forms of foreign trade, such as cross-border e-commerce and market procurement trade, have greatly reduced the threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in international trade, and have stimulated the enthusiasm of foreign trade entities to go out and expand overseas markets.

　　From a sharp decline at the beginning of 2020, to both turning positive in June, and then to positive growth for the next 7 consecutive months, China's foreign trade has drawn a beautiful "V"-shaped curve.

This fully demonstrates the effective and effective measures of precise policy implementation. It also proves once again that China's foreign trade is resilient and competitive. China's important position in the global supply chain and industrial chain will not change due to the impact of the epidemic. China will remain a global investment. Hot land, we are fully confident, qualified, and capable to ensure the smooth operation of the foreign trade industry chain and supply chain and stabilize the international market share.

　　At present, the epidemic is still spreading globally, and there is still a process for the world economy and trade to recover from rebound to recovery. The foundation for the recovery of external demand is still unstable, the pattern of the international industrial chain and supply chain is deeply adjusted, and there are still many unstable and uncertain factors in the development of foreign trade.

To this end, on the basis of last year's work experience, relevant departments will continue to implement precise policies.

For example, the Ministry of Commerce will focus on the implementation of three plans: the excellent import and export plan, the establishment of a national import trade promotion innovation demonstration zone, and the cultivation of new formats and models of foreign trade; the trade industry integration plan, which identifies a number of foreign trade transformation and upgrading bases, and promotes service trade innovation Development of pilot projects; the unblocked trade plan, the establishment of unblocked trade working groups with countries related to the "Belt and Road", expand the scale of overseas warehouses, and strengthen the construction of an international marketing system.

　　Policy alone is not enough, you have to do it yourself.

Last year, many foreign trade companies planned to accelerate their transformation through export to domestic sales, and even tasted the sweetness of live broadcast "carrying goods" and e-commerce sales.

In the future, as the advantages of the domestic super-large-scale market are further utilized, the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic large-scale cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual-cycle mutual promotion will be accelerated. The high-level opening up will continue to advance, and the new advantages of international cooperation and competition will continue to form. For foreign trade companies, it is necessary to further cultivate internal skills, transform and upgrade on the basis of making good use of national policies, to capture new business opportunities from difficulties and create more new opportunities.

　　"I'm not afraid of tens of thousands of people blocking it, I'm only afraid of surrendering myself." China's foreign trade development has gone through numerous hardships since childhood, growing up in the beating of the market, and advancing in the storm.

Relying on the driving force of foreign trade, exerting the potential of domestic demand, making the domestic market and the international market better connected, shaping my country's new advantages in participating in international cooperation and competition, attaching importance to improving the efficiency and level of domestic large-scale circulation through international circulation, and improving the quality and allocation of my country's production factors. It will surely promote China's economy to ride the wind and waves, and move forward steadily.
