NEW ROUND OF CHINA-US TRADE TALKS STARTS IN BEIJING
    2019-02-15  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    CHINA and the United States started a new round of high-level economic and trade consultations in Beijing on Thursday morning.

    

    The opening ceremony of the talks was jointly chaired by Vice Premier Liu He, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chief of the Chinese side of the China-U.S. comprehensive economic dialogue, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, and U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

    

    This round of high-level consultations will conclude Friday.

    

    Despite trade tensions with the United States, China’s goods trade rose 8.7 percent year on year in January to 2.73 trillion yuan (US$395.98 billion), customs data showed Thursday.

    

    Exports rose 13.9 percent year on year to 1.5 trillion yuan last month, while imports grew 2.9 percent to 1.23 trillion yuan, the General Administration of Customs said.

    

    Exports and imports of products under the general trade category rose 13 percent year on year to 1.66 trillion yuan, accounting for 60.9 percent of the total foreign trade, 2.3 percentage points higher than the same period last year, the customs said.

    

    China’s trade with the European Union, the ASEAN countries and Japan increased 17.6 percent, 7.8 percent and 6.5 percent, respectively, while trade with countries along the Belt and Road registered faster-than-average growth, with the combined trade volume standing at 770.8 billion yuan, up 11.5 percent year on year.

    

    Exports to the United States added 1.9 percent, while imports tumbled 38.6 percent, the data showed.

    

    Private enterprises played a bigger role, accounting for 42.3 percent of the total foreign trade, up 3 percentage points year on year.
