Global Times editorial: China is still the main engine of global trade growth. Statistics recently released by official website of the General Administration of Customs show that the total import and export value of China's goods trade in the first 11 months of this year was 39.79 trillion yuan, up 4.9% year-on-year. Among them, exports reached 23.04 trillion yuan, up 6.7%; Imports reached 16.75 trillion yuan, up 2.4%. This is a further development of China's position as the world's largest country in goods trade for seven consecutive years, and its export accounts for 14.2% of the world's total in 2023, which means that the position of China manufacturing with high "cost performance" in the international production and supply chain continues to increase. The publication of this foreign trade "report card" once again shows the strong resilience and vitality of China's economy.
