"China's GDP grew by 5.0% year-on-year in 2024". On January 17, the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics at the press conference of the State Information Office attracted attention.
After sorting out the main economic data in 2024, there is another 5% full of tension, namely, "the total import and export of goods for the whole year is 438.468 billion yuan, an increase of 5.0% over the previous year."
Looking through this 5%, we can find that my country's import and export of goods has grown rapidly and the trade structure has continued to be optimized. Speaking of cargo import and export, just recently, an international freighter carrying more than 1,000 cabinets and a total weight of more than 20,000 tons of Chilean cherries was docked in Nansha Port, Guangzhou. This is the largest batch of Chilean cherries imported by the Nansha Port in a single time since the new cherry production season of 2024-2025.
This "group favorite" of New Year's goods that came from afar has attracted the attention of many netizens. Some netizens said, "The price is getting more and more affordable, who can resist the sweet temptation of cherries?"
Chile cherries have become the star fruit in the Chinese market. It is reported that currently, more than 92% of Chilean cherries are exported to China. As early as early last month, Chile's first "cherry express" arrived in China from the 2024 to 2025 quarters.
In fact, China is not only the largest export market for Chilean cherries, but also the main export market for Chilean fruits such as plum, peach, nectarine and blueberries.
Chile fruits are "sweet" that fill the road for win-win for both countries. It can be said that Chilean fruits enrich the Chinese fruit plates, and China's huge market also benefited Chilean farmers.
This year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and China. Chile is the first South American country to establish diplomatic relations with the New China. In recent years, the two countries have maintained close strategic communication, deepened mutually beneficial cooperation, and shared development opportunities. As a Chilean official said, the two countries are far apart, but they have formed a virtuous cycle of trade. The Chinese market is huge, driving Chile's economic development.
