According to customs statistics, in the half of 2015, my country’s total import and export value was 11.53 trillion yuan, a decrease of 6.9% over the same period last year (the same below). Among them, exports were 6.57 trillion yuan, an increase of 0.9%; imports were 4.96 trillion yuan, a decrease of 15.5%; the trade surplus was 1.61 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.5 times.

The structure of my country's export products continued to be optimized. The export of mechanical and electrical products and traditional labor-intensive products increased, and the export of some high-end products increased rapidly. In the half of the year, my country’s export of electromechanical products was 3.78 trillion yuan, an increase of 3%, accounting for 57.6% of my country’s total export value during the same period. Among them, the export growth rate of mobile phones, rail transit equipment, metal processing machine tools, medical instruments and equipment, textile machinery, and other products is Faster.

The above situation shows that my country's foreign trade market diversification has made new progress in the half of this year, the regional layout tends to be more reasonable, the trade conditions have improved, and the trade methods, trade entities, and the structure of import and export commodities have been optimized. But at the same time, we must also realize that there are still some difficulties in the development of my country's foreign trade.

The imports and exports of foreign-invested enterprises and state-owned enterprises were 5.42 trillion yuan and 1.97 trillion yuan, down 4.8% and 14% respectively. The import and export of processing trade was 3.58 trillion yuan, down 8.6%. In addition, in June this year, the index of China's foreign trade exports was 34.8, a decrease of 0.2 from May, indicating that the export pressure in the next two to three months is still relatively high.
