CCTV News: With the continuous optimization of my country's regional opening-up layout, my country's imports and exports in the eastern, central and western regions have achieved growth in 2024. At the beginning of the new year, foreign trade in various places also showed a hot development momentum.

At the beginning of the year, more than 30 textile enterprises from Changxing, Zhejiang formed a group to Germany to attend the Frankfurt Home Textile Exhibition held here.

This time, the head of one of the companies flew to Germany with four large suitcases, and the boxes contained samples. Actively bringing samples to "get out of the country" is becoming a common choice for many foreign trade entities in my country to expand their markets.

To expand the market and promote transformation, traditional industries are revitalizing new vitality for "going overseas". In Zibo, Shandong, various types of mushroom sticks produced by a company are particularly popular, and orders are ushering in explosive growth.

The mushroom stick is the culture medium of mushrooms that provides nutrients for mushroom growth. The new orders come from the new model tried by enterprises. Local departments have carried out a pilot reform of "Internetized Export of Edible Fungi and Fungi Sprouts", and application and approval can be handled online.

Yin Xiaoyan, head of the Second Section of the Zibo Customs Inspection and Inspection Department, said that under this model, each batch of goods can save the company about 4 days of customs clearance time. This year is the first Spring Festival in the pilot implementation. Compared with last year, the customs clearance batches increased by 5.6% year-on-year, and the customs clearance value increased by 47.9% year-on-year.

At the beginning of the new year, the number of international fans of Yiwu International Trade City, the Sino-Kazakhsky Horgos International Border Cooperation Center, exceeded 5 million, and the live broadcast team here has also expanded from the initial few people to more than 50 people.

Through new models and new channels, "Made in China" is moving from central and western my country to the world. In 2024, imports and exports in the central and western regions were 7.65 trillion yuan, an increase of 4%; processing trade accounted for 25.5% of the total import and export value, 7.4 percentage points higher than the national average.

In the Northeast, the "ice and snow" economic industry continues to make efforts, and the export of ski shoes and snowboards to Germany, Italy and the Netherlands has increased exponentially. In the Qitaihe, Heilongjiang ice and snow equipment company, workers are rushing to make high-end customized ice skates exported to the Netherlands.

With the further improvement of the level of opening up, the import and export scale of Northeast China has hit a new high for four consecutive years, reaching 1.25 trillion yuan in 2024, an increase of 1.6%. Among them, exports increased by 8.1%, 1 percentage point faster than national exports. In 2024, the export of construction machinery in the Northeast region increased by 10.5%, the export of household appliances increased by 14.4%, and the export of electrical control devices increased by 9%.
