Chinese exporters' accelerated shift toward higher-value manufacturing and their sustained focus on innovation will continue to anchor China's foreign trade growth this year, government officials, manufacturers and experts said on Monday.政府官员、制造商和专家周一表示，，中国出口企业加快向高附加值制造业转型，并持续聚焦创新，这将继续支撑今年中国外贸增长。As China works to consolidate its position in global industrial chains amid rising geopolitical tensions, Chinese companies' large-scale production capabilities, innovation strength, industrial upgrades and market diversification moves will keep driving export growth in the second half of the year, they said.他们表示，在地缘政治紧张局势加剧的背景下，中国正努力巩固其在全球产业链中的地位，中国企业的大规模生产能力、创新实力、产业升级和市场多元化举措将继续推动下半年出口增长。Liang Ming, director of the Institute of International Trade at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that China's robust industrial ecosystem, characterized by tight intersector partnerships and operational efficiencies, provides enormous stability for the nation's foreign trade supply networks.商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院对外贸易研究所所长梁明表示，中国外贸供应网络的稳定性源于其强大的工业生态体系，特点是行业间合作紧密、运行效率高。Data from the General Administration of Customs shows that China's foreign trade grew 2.5 percent year-on-year to reach 17.94 trillion yuan ($2.5 trillion) in the first five months of 2025.海关总署数据显示，2025年前5个月，中国对外贸易进出口总值17.94万亿元人民币（约合2.5万亿美元），同比增长2.5%。Lyu Daliang, director of the administration's department of statistics and analysis, said the Chinese economy has continued to recover steadily since the beginning of the year, with the trade in goods demonstrating strong resilience despite external pressures.海关总署统计分析司司长吕大良表示，今年以来，中国经济持续稳步复苏，货物贸易尽管面临外部压力，但仍展现出强劲韧性。China's imports and exports maintained a steady growth momentum last month, with a notable acceleration following high-level economic and trade talks between China and the United States in Geneva, Switzerland, in mid-May, Lyu said.吕大良表示，上月中国进出口保持平稳增长势头，尤其是在5月中旬中美在瑞士日内瓦举行高级别经贸会谈后，进出口增速明显加快。According to the GAC, China's total value of goods trade reached 3.81 trillion yuan last month, up 2.7 percent year-on-year.据海关总署统计，上月中国货物贸易进出口总值3.81万亿元人民币，同比增长2.7%。Xiao Lu, deputy director of the department of

chains alongside industrial clusters.商务部对外贸易司副司长肖露表示，在全球供应链重构和去风险化趋势的背景下，中国制造企业正加大高技术创新投入，推动创新链与产业集群协同发展。Wang Qian, a researcher specializing in international trade at Shanghai University of International Business and Economics, said that China's export growth has been primarily driven by mechanical and electrical product exports in recent years.上海对外经贸大学国际贸易研究员王倩（音译）表示，近年来，机电产品出口是中国出口增长的主要动力。"A growing range of products is fueling export growth through increasingly innovative activities and integrated supply chain collaboration," Wang said.“通过不断增强的创新活动和一体化的供应链协作，越来越多的产品种类正在推动出口增长。”王倩说道。Latest data from the GAC shows that China's mechanical and electrical product exports increased 9.3 percent year-on-year to 6.4 trillion yuan between January and May, accounting for 60 percent of the country's total exports.海关总署最新数据显示，今年1月到5月，中国机电产品出口同比增长9.3%，达到6.4万亿元人民币，占全国出口总额的60%。Since the beginning of the year, leading contributors to export expansion have included integrated circuits, computers, electric vehicles and energy-efficient container ships.今年以来，集成电路、计算机、电动汽车和节能集装箱船等产品成为出口增长的主要推动力。Ningbo Healthmate Science and Technology Development, a fitness equipment manufacturer in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, saw its export value surge 23.85 percent year-on-year to 135 million yuan in the first five months, thanks to the soaring demand in the Middle East for its latest smart running machines, according to Ningbo Customs.宁波海关称，浙江省宁波市健身器材制造商宁波海斯曼科技发展有限公司前五个月出口额同比增长23.85%，达1.35亿元人民币，这得益于中东地区对其最新智能跑步机的需求激增。"Our innovative product

PHARR, TEXAS - Victor Perez, president of Pharr Economic Development Corporation, has welcomed COMCE to the city.COMCE stands for Consejo Empresarial Mexicano de Comercio Exterior, Inversión y Tecnología (Mexican Business Council for Foreign Trade, Investment and Technology). It is a non-profit organization representing the Mexican private sector in international affairs, particularly focusing on promoting foreign trade, investment, and technology. COMCE Nacional has announced a new satellite office in Pharr at the Pharr Global Business Hub. Its leaders did so during a two-day tour of the Pharr area. The trip included a visit to the Pharr International Bridge and the Mexican Consulate's Office in McAllen, along with meetings with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and UT-Rio Grande Valley.“We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with COMCE National a couple of months back. And when we sign an MOU we want to make sure that we follow up. We want to make sure that we continue the collaboration, we continue the communications with those entities or organizations that we have signed an MOU with,” Perez told Ron Whitlock Reports.“So, today, we're officially designating the Pharr Global Business Hub as a headquarters of COMCE National in the Rio Grande Valley.”Asked why the MOU is important, Perez said: “Because the Pharr Global Business Park is a key component, a commercial gateway into the US market, into the Texas market.”Perez said he expects other foreign entities to sign MOUs with Pharr EDC in order to make use of the Pharr Global Business Hub.“The word is getting around, on both sides of the border, that Pharr is the place to be,” Perez said.“We are moving forward rapidly. And with the new bridge coming in, we expect more business, more trade, and more investors.”Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

P.M. Edition for May 13. Companies seek to access foreign-trade zones as they navigate rising U.S. tariffs. WSJ news associate Owen Tucker-Smith reports on how the country's roughly 260 foreign-trade zones allow them to defer tariffs on imported goods and materials, for a while. And the latest consumer-price index showed prices rose 2.3% in the 12 months through April, slowing from a 2.4% rate a month earlier. Economics reporter Chao Deng considers U.S. tariffs' effects on that price growth. Plus, President Trump announced an end to sanctions on Syria during the first of a four-day trip to the Middle East. The move would give Syria's new rulers a financial lifeline. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

bto#290 – Das Drama um die Zollpolitik von US-Präsident Donald Trump hat einem seit Jahrzehnten vor allem hierzulande vernachlässigten Thema wieder zu hoher Aktualität verholfen: Geoökonomie, die wirtschaftspolitische Staatskunst. Als Begründer dieser Disziplin gilt der deutschstämmige Ökonom Albert Hirschman, der 1945 unter dem Eindruck der nationalsozialistischen Wirtschaftspolitik vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ein Buch mit dem Titel „National Power and the Structure of Foreign Trade“ veröffentlichte. Was ist daraus zu lernen und welche Konsequenzen sind daraus zu ziehen? Darüber spricht Daniel Stelter im Experteninterview mit Dr. Jesse Schreger, Professor an der Columbia Business School in New York. Schreger forscht u.a. zu den Themen Internationale Finanzen und Makroökonomie, Internationale Kreditvergabe und Staatsverschuldung sowie Asset Pricing und Geoökonomie.HörerserviceDie Geoeconomics-Studie finden Sie hier:https://is.gd/ZVRfp9 Neue Analysen, Kommentare und Einschätzungen zur Wirtschafts- und Finanzlage finden Sie unter www.think-bto.com.

It's hard to understand the economic logic of President Trump's tariffs. In our last episode, we tried, but with limited success. And that might be because the logic here isn't entirely economic at all.So we wanted to spend an episode looking at Trump's economic policies through a wider lens.Gillian Tett is a columnist at The Financial Times and a member of its editorial board. She's also a trained anthropologist with a Ph.D. And she brings both perspectives into this conversation — exploring Trump's policies as economics, as well as power politics, patronage and cultural messaging — which I think makes the whole thing make a bit more sense.Mentioned:“A User's Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System” by Stephen MiranBook Recommendations:National Power and the Structure of Foreign Trade by Albert HirschmanThe Economic Consequences of the Peace by John Maynard KeynesDebt by David GraeberHow to Think Like an Anthropologist by Matthew EngelkeThoughts?

With President Donald Trump bent on initiating a trade war by hiking tariffs on imports from major trading partners such as China, Mexico, and Canada, an infamous piece of legislation passed in 1930 is piquing Americans' curiosity. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act imposed the highest duties in U.S. history on roughly one-fourth of all imports. It contributed to a steep falloff in global trade and exacerbated the Great Depression. Just when world commerce needed stimulation, many countries erected tariff barriers, often in retaliation for Smoot-Hawley. In this episode, economic historian Phillip Magness of the Independent Institute delves into the reasons why U.S. leaders once believed high tariffs were beneficial and how the executive branch obtained broad power to manipulate tariffs in the decades since.

Continuous innovation, global expansion and industrial upgrade will empower Chinese companies to counter rising protectionism and geopolitical tensions this year, driving foreign trade growth and reinforcing China's global competitiveness, said market observers and exporters.市场观察人士和出口商表示，持续创新、全球扩张和产业升级将使中国企业在今年能够应对日益加剧的保护主义和地缘政治紧张局势，推动外贸增长，增强中国的全球竞争力。Despite challenges, China's foreign trade remains resilient, adapting to an increasingly complex global landscape shaped by the United States' new tariff policies, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory uncertainties in certain countries, they added.他们补充道，尽管面临挑战，中国外贸依然保持韧性，不断适应日益复杂的全球格局。这一格局是由美国新关税政策、供应链中断以及某些国家监管不确定性等因素导致的。Zhang Xiaotao, dean of the School of International Trade and Economics at the Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing, said that as a major player in global trade, China has accumulated extensive experience in navigating international political and economic shifts over the past decade.北京中央财经大学国际贸易与经济学院院长张晓涛表示，过去十年里，中国作为全球贸易的主要参与者，在应对国际政治和经济变迁中积累了丰富经验。"Foreign trade companies have already seen positive results from their strategic adjustments to tackle headwinds, including building new factories and overseas warehouses in countries such as Thailand, Hungary, the US and Brazil, as well as increasing investment in research and development," Zhang said.张晓涛说：“外贸企业已通过战略调整来应对逆风，并取得了积极成果，包括在泰国、匈牙利、美国、巴西等国建设新工厂和海外仓库，以及加大对研发的投入。”Denis Depoux, global managing director at German management consultancy Roland Berger, said that China is now increasingly recognized for its high-value, technologically advanced products, including electric vehicles, solar cells and liquefied natural gas carriers, as it moves up the value chain to drive export growth.德国管理咨询公司罗兰贝格全球董事总经理丹尼斯·德普克斯表示，随着中国在价值链上攀升以推动出口增长，其高价值、高技术产品正越来越受到认可，包括电动汽车、太阳能电池、液化天然气运输船等。Chinese companies exporting high-value products include Narwal, a manufacturer of household robots based in Shenzhen, Guangdong province. The company saw the number of its export markets expand from less than 10 in 2023 to over 30 last year, covering multiple regions and countries including North America, Europe, Australia and Japan.广东省深圳市家用机器人制造商云鲸是出口高价值产品的中国企业之一。该公司产品出口市场从2023年不到10个扩展到2024年的30多个，覆盖北美、欧洲、澳大利亚、日本等多个地区和国家。"We will continue to invest in multiple fields such as 3D perception, artificial intelligence solutions, binocular vision technologies and big data applications to win more orders," said Zhang Junbin, the company's founder.公司创始人张峻彬说：“我们将继续在三维感知、人工智能解决方案、双目视觉技术、大数据应用等多个领域进行投资，以赢得更多订单。”Li Lizhong, sales director at Zhejiang Yueli Electrical Co, a home appliances manufacturer based in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, said the company's personal care products, such as hair dryers and curling irons, previously targeted the US and Western Europe markets.浙江省宁波市家电制造商浙江月立电器有限公司销售总监李立中表示，该公司的个人护理产品（如吹风机和卷发棒）此前主要销往美国和西欧市场。"However, our exports to these traditional markets have been impacted by the US tariff hike and the Russia-Ukraine conflict in recent years," he said, adding that the company has launched more intelligent, eco-friendly home appliances to expand into markets in Central and Eastern Europe, and economies participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.他说：“但近年来，我们面向这些传统市场的出口受到了美国关税上调和俄乌冲突的影响。”他补充道，公司已推出更多智能、环保的家电产品，以拓展中东欧市场以及参与“一带一路”倡议的经济体市场。Data from Ningbo Customs showed that Zhejiang Yueli's hair dryer exports reached 602 million yuan ($82.4 million) in 2024, marking a 6.3 percent year-on-year increase, while the company's exports in this category to Central and Eastern Europe totaled 45.46 million yuan, up 39.2 percent compared with 2023.据宁波海关数据显示，2024年，浙江月立公司的吹风机出口额达6.02亿元人民币（8240万美元），同比增长6.3%，其中面向中东欧市场的出口额为4546万元人民币，较2023年增长39.2%。Li said the increasing penetration of the internet in Central and Eastern Europe has allowed e-commerce to expand at a remarkable pace in countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania. The company's cross-border e-commerce exports emerged as a key growth driver after it deployed resources in this business segment in the region, he added.李立中表示，由于中东欧地区互联网日益普及，波兰、捷克、罗马尼亚等国的电子商务迅速扩张。他补充道，月立公司在该地区部署资源后，跨境电商出口已成为其关键的增长动力。As China continued to enhance its high-value export portfolio and deepen its market presence in emerging economies, the nation's foreign trade rose 5 percent year-on-year to reach a record high of 43.85 trillion yuan in 2024, according to the General Administration of Customs.据海关总署数据，中国不断优化高价值出口产品的结构，巩固在新兴市场的地位，2024年中国外贸总值达到43.85万亿元人民币，同比增长5%，规模再创历史新高。Meanwhile, China's mechanical and electrical product exports grew 8.7 percent year-on-year, accounting for 59.4 percent of the country's total exports. Last year, the country's EV exports rose 13.1 percent compared with 2023, while its 3D printer exports increased 32.8 percent and industrial robot exports surged 45.2 percent.同时，中国机电产品出口同比增长8.7%，占中国出口总值的59.4%。2024年，中国电动汽车出口同比增长13.1%，3D打印机出口增长32.8%，工业机器人出口增长45.2%。Lan Qingxin, a professor at the School of International Trade and Economics of the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said the restructuring of global supply chains and protectionist moves in certain countries have pushed Chinese companies to adapt and leverage their strong manufacturing and technological capabilities.北京对外经济贸易大学国际经济贸易学院教授蓝庆新表示，全球供应链重组、某些国家的保护主义举措,促使中国企业调整并利用自身强大的制造能力和技术能力。By responding innovatively to these changes, the companies can meet market needs in other emerging economies, thereby enhancing their competitiveness and expanding their global presence, said Lan.蓝庆新说，企业通过不断创新来应对这些变化，可以满足其他新兴市场的需求，从而提升竞争力并扩大全球影响力。A Chinese business delegation, organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, departed on Monday for Kazakhstan to explore new opportunities for economic and trade exchanges.2月10日，由中国国际贸易促进委员会组织的中国经贸代表团赴哈萨克斯坦，探索经贸交流新机遇。During the four-day trip, the delegation, comprising representatives of more than 30 Chinese companies across industries such as petrochemicals and machinery manufacturing, hopes to sign several cooperation agreements and foster mutually beneficial outcomes.本次代表团由来自石油化工、机械制造等领域的30多家中国企业代表组成，开展为期四天的交流活动，希望签署多项合作协议，实现互利共赢。warehousen.货仓，仓库hiken.（价格或费用的大幅）提高，增加
