Perspective on the resilience and potential of foreign trade under pressure

As the global trade situation continues to change, countries have adjusted their foreign trade policies to adapt to the new international economic environment.

Since July, many countries and regions around the world have made important adjustments to import and export tariffs and taxes on related products, involving multiple industries such as medical supplies, metal products, automobiles, chemicals and cross-border e-commerce.

On June 13, the Mexican Ministry of Economy issued a notice to make an affirmative preliminary anti-dumping ruling on transparent float glass originating in China and Malaysia with a thickness greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than 19 mm. The preliminary ruling is to impose a temporary anti-dumping duty of US$0.13739/kg on the products involved in the case in China, and a temporary anti-dumping duty of US$0.03623~0.04672/kg on the products involved in the case in Malaysia. The measures will take effect from the day after the announcement and will be valid for four months.

Starting from July 1, 2025, the AEO mutual recognition arrangement between China and Ecuador will be officially implemented. The Chinese and Ecuadorian customs recognize each other’s AEO enterprises, and the AEO enterprises of both sides can enjoy convenient measures such as lower inspection rates and priority inspections when clearing imported goods.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the foreign exchange receipts and payments data in the first half of the year. Overall, the foreign exchange market operated steadily in the first half of the year, mainly due to the dual support of my country’s foreign trade resilience and foreign investment confidence.

In the first half of the year, the import and export of goods in the balance of payments increased by 2.4% year-on-year, which echoed the 2.9% increase in the total value of my country’s import and export of goods in the first half of the year released last week.

This confirms that China’s foreign trade is still competitive amid global demand fluctuations, laying a solid foundation for the stability of the foreign exchange market. On the other hand, China has maintained its fighting spirit and continued to expand its opening up in the Sino-US economic and trade consultations, which has been recognized by international capital.
