Actively expanding imports is an important part of China's efforts to promote high-level opening-up to the outside world.

From the perspective of cumulative growth rate, China's import and export of goods trade steadily increased in the first 10 months of this year, reaching a scale of 37.31 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.6%.
