After sorting out new government reports from various places, we also found that "stabilizing foreign trade" has become a high-frequency word for various places in 2025, and what appears together is "high-quality development". We must not only stabilize the quantity and increase the quality. How should China's foreign trade do in 2025? In the 2025 government work reports in various places, we also saw some such keywords.

New kinetic energy. This is the key to cultivating competitive advantages in foreign trade. Developing new business formats such as cross-border e-commerce, digital trade, and green trade is a common choice for all localities to promote the high-quality development of foreign trade. For example, Zhejiang, a major foreign trade province, proposed to explore the construction of a digital trade port and build a global digital trade center by enhancing the influence and driving force of the Global Digital Trade Expo. Provinces such as Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Henan all proposed to build a comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zone to improve the quality of "Made in China" and expand new space for the development of foreign trade enterprises.

Guangxi and Chongqing are the key to accelerating the construction of the new western land-sea corridor.

Trade in Services. In 2024, China's service trade scale exceeded the trillion dollar mark for the first time. With the deepening development of economic service and trade digitalization, service trade has become an important force in promoting the high-quality development of foreign trade.

Sichuan proposed to build a national service export base and promote digital services in the fields of games, animation, intellectual property rights, etc.
