How China Seeks to Balance Imports and Exports
Antara News | Local Language | News | Nov. 28, 2025 | UndeterminedTrade Issues and Numbers
China is implementing a strategy to balance the growth of its imports and exports in line with the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), aimed at promoting high-quality domestic development and contributing to global economic stability. In 2024, the total value of China's trade in goods surpassed 43 trillion yuan (approximately 6.07 trillion U.S. dollars), a historic high. Exports reached 25.45 trillion yuan, maintaining eight consecutive years of growth, while imports hit 18.39 trillion yuan, resulting in a trade surplus of over 7 trillion yuan. However, Chinese officials emphasize that the country is not pursuing a trade surplus deliberately, as trade outcomes depend on multiple factors including international demand, industry division of labor, and market competition.
To address global trade imbalances, China focuses on promoting balanced import and export development to boost domestic consumption and foster industrial transformation via imports. This approach aims to create shared growth opportunities with trading partners, reduce trade imbalances, and improve China's capacity to respond proactively to market changes. China is advancing several measures such as increasing market diversification, integrating domestic and foreign trade, boosting trade in intermediate and green goods, developing services trade, refining cross-border trade regulations, and expanding digital sector openness. These efforts are designed to stabilize exports against shocks and regulatory changes while expanding imports of high-quality goods and services.
China has established extensive platforms to support import expansion, notably the China International Import Expo (CIIE), which has achieved cumulative transaction values exceeding 583 billion U.S. dollars over eight editions. The latest CIIE recorded transactions worth 83.49 billion U.S. dollars, a 4.4 percent increase from the previous event. China's Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao highlighted high-standard openness as a key driver benefiting both China and global partners. In 2024, China became a major trading partner for over 150 countries and regions, with imports of goods and services expected to surpass 15 trillion U.S. dollars during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025). China's outbound investment has also supported host countries through significant tax revenues, employment creation, and industrial modernization.
Industry experts and reports, such as from KPMG China, stress that China will seek more balanced growth in imports and exports as external demand becomes less dominant. By combining broader openness with a strong domestic market and efficient industrial chains, China aims to provide expanded development opportunities for multinational companies in the coming years.
