"China firmly upholds the multilateral trading system, opposes unilateralism, and counters bullying practices. Our circle of friends continues to grow, and the path of trade diversification is becoming broader. China's trade in goods with Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partner countries hit 22.1 trillion yuan (about 3.07 trillion U.S. dollars) in 2024, accounting for more than half of its total foreign trade. Trade with emerging markets such as ASEAN, Latin America, Africa, and Central Asia grew at an average annual rate of over 10 percent. China has now become one of the top three trading partners for 157 countries and regions worldwide, further underscoring its role as a responsible major power and its growing advantages in international cooperation for mutual benefit."
