Print Edition
China鈥檚 service trade jumped to a new high in the first seven months of this year as the government has made more efforts to further bolster and open up the service sector.
The Ministry of Commerce said yesterday the country鈥檚 service trade rose 9.9 percent year on year to 2.98 trillion yuan (US$436 billion) from January to July.
Service exports increased 14.6 percent to 987.5 billion yuan, while imports gained 7.7 percent to 1.99 trillion yuan, resulting in a deficit of over 1 trillion yuan.
Service trade accounted for 15.1 percent of China鈥檚 total foreign trade in the first seven months, up 0.1 percentage points year on year. The service trade expansion has outpaced the growth rates in goods trade in the same period.
A ministry official, Li Yuan, attributed the historic high growth to China鈥檚 stable and positive economic expansion, a rapidly growing service sector and policy support from the government.
The structure of service trade continued to optimize. Trade of emerging services, such as telecom and insurance, rose 20.3 percent year on year in the January-July period, 10.4 percentage points higher than the growth of service trade.
Trade in services refers to the sale and delivery of intangible products such as transportation, tourism, telecommunications, construction, advertising, computing and accounting.
China has taken steps to improve the development of trade in services, including gradually opening up the finance, education, culture, and medical treatment sectors.
