(Ninth CIIE) Export China Capability Development Report Released for the First Time

China News Service, Shanghai, November 5 (Reporter Yin Qianyun) The "Exporting to China Capacity Development Report" was released for the first time on November 5 at the 9th Hongqiao International Economic Forum. The report focuses on how to jointly improve the ability to export to China and let the world share the opportunities of China's large market.

The report shows that China's share of global exports has increased from 3.2% in 2000 to 9.2% in 2025, and the proportion of exports to China from countries co-building the "Belt and Road" has risen to 59.4%. China's imported products have shifted from being dominated by industrial products to a diversified mix of industrial products, energy resource products and agricultural products, and imports of high-end commodities and primary commodities have expanded simultaneously.

The report stated that China's large market not only provides demand for advanced manufacturing, but also creates opportunities for resource-based products and specialty agricultural products. All countries can find development space by combining their own advantages.

The report consists of two parts. The first part analyzes China's overall import pattern, product structure and policy environment to answer "what can China buy"; the second part focuses on the supply conditions of partner countries and studies "what can it sell and how to sell it better". The report selects 10 trading partners including Colombia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Pakistan, Serbia, South Africa, Spain, Tanzania, Thailand, and the United Kingdom, and conducts country studies focusing on economic infrastructure, industrial systems, and trade policies to help countries transform their product advantages into export capabilities to China.

Liao Fan, director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the first release of the report is the starting point for continued research on countries' export capabilities to China. The next step is to update the report every year, continue to track changes in China's market demand and trading partners' export capabilities, and gradually enrich country studies and improve the analysis framework.

The report was signed and published by the Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and together with the World Openness Report constitute the "double flagship" report of the Hongqiao International Economic Forum.
