Abstract

According to the WTO’s International Trade Statistics, the share of Chinese merchandise exports and imports were 8.0% and 6.4% in the total of world exports and imports in 2006, respectively, and the size of Chinese merchandise trade is ranked as number three in world trade, following the US and Germany. The total amount of Chinese exports and imports has increased from US$151 billion to US$1,218 billion and from US$139 billion to US$956 billion in the period between 1996 and 2007 (see Figures 7.1 and 7.2), respectively. Foreign-owned firms in China played the dominant role for this rapid expansion of Chinese international trade. Both shares of exports and imports conducted by foreign-owned firms were around 60% of Chinese total exports and imports in 2007.
