Expanding domestic demand is the basic standing point and the long-term strategy for China’s economic and social development. When China is shifting its method in export expansion, increasing import volume, enhancing protection for intellectual property rights, and making contributions to the global trade and economy, with the accelerated industrialization and urbanization, improved national income, upgraded consumption structure, tremendous domestic demand and broad national market are working as an engine, powering economic development.

We should keep outbound trade grow stably. Though we emphasize on expanding domestic demand, the importance of foreign demand to our economy cannot be neglected. We are supposed to keep foreign trade policies basically steady, stabilize export rebate, expand trade finance and credit insurance, improve supervision and service of the customs, quality inspection, and foreign exchange, help enterprises conquer the multiple difficulties and pressure from shortage of order and increased cost and frictions. We should accelerate the process of foreign trade reform, deepen the implementation of the strategies of building trade with science and technology, winning with good quality, and diversifying marketing approaches, support enterprises to develop their own brands, sales network, and research and development center, guide the processing trade to expand to high end of the industrial chain and shift to the middle and west part of China. Further more, we need to consolidate traditional market in the US, Japan, and Europe as well as to explore new markets, stabilize the export of labor-intensive products, expand the import of products with high technology and high added value, but confine the export of products that are energy-intensive and cause high pollution. More efforts should be put on the development of service trade and accepting service outsourcing. Guiding advice for improving import and promoting trade balance is to be made, import policies to be perfected, more import provoking platform to be established, to promote balanced development of import and export.
