China's position and role in international trade.

China's position and role in international trade include the position of a big trading country, the optimization of trade structure, the formulation and promotion of trade rules, etc.

1, the status of a big trading country

China is one of the biggest contributors to the growth of world commodity trade. In recent years, the scale of China's goods trade has expanded rapidly, and it has become one of the largest goods trading countries in the world. In 2020, under the complicated and severe external environment, the total import and export value of China's goods trade reached 321600 million yuan, up by 1.9% year-on-year, with a record scale and hard-won achievements.

China's trading partners cover most countries and regions in the world and have made important contributions to the recovery and development of the global economy.

2. Optimization of trade structure

China's trade structure in international trade has been continuously optimized. On the one hand, China's export products have changed from traditional labor-intensive products to high value-added high-tech products. On the other hand, China's import structure has been continuously optimized, and imported products have changed from primary products to finished products and high-tech products. This optimization of trade structure not only contributes to China's own economic development, but also helps to promote the transformation and upgrading of the global economy.

3. Formulation and promotion of trade rules

China actively participates in and promotes the formulation and promotion of trade rules in international trade. As a member of the World Trade Organization, China actively participated in the Doha Round negotiations and plurilateral trade negotiations, and made important contributions to the formulation and promotion of global trade rules. At the same time, China has also actively participated in the process of regional economic integration and promoted the in-depth development of regional economic cooperation. These efforts not only help to maintain the global trade order, but also help to improve and develop the global economic governance system.

China's development in international trade;

1, recovery stage (1978- 199 1 year)

After the reform and opening up, China began to gradually restore its position in international trade. The main characteristics of this stage are exporting primary products, such as oil, coal and agricultural products, and importing manufactured goods and petrochemical products. Due to the rapid development of China's economy and the implementation of the policy of opening to the outside world, the scale of China's foreign trade has gradually expanded and become one of the important contributors to the growth of world trade.

With the deepening of reform and opening up, China has gradually transformed into an export-oriented economy. The main feature of this stage is to vigorously develop manufacturing industry, especially labor-intensive industries such as light industry and textile industry. By expanding the export scale and introducing foreign capital, China's foreign trade has made great progress and become one of the largest commodity exporters in the world.

3. Important role in the process of globalization (2002-present)

China's position and role in the process of globalization are increasingly prominent. The main feature of this stage is to actively participate in global economic cooperation and governance, and promote regional economic integration and the construction of free trade zones. By promoting the Belt and Road Initiative and expanding domestic demand, China has strengthened economic and trade cooperation with other countries and become one of the important engines of global economic growth. China has also actively participated in the formulation and promotion of international trade rules, and made important contributions to maintaining the global trade order and promoting the improvement and development of the global economic governance system.
