High-tech and high-value goods power exports_我的网站
一 | China's growth in exports is being reshaped by a structural upgrade in mechanical and electrical products, with economists and exporters saying that high-tech, green and high-value goods are emerging as new engines of growth amid rising global trade barriers and supply chain uncertainties. They said that demand for artificial intelligence hardware, advanced manufacturing products and tech-intensive green goods, including AI servers, 3D printers, industrial robots and lithium batteries, is likely to remain strong this year, as Chinese manufacturers continue moving up the value chain and strengthening their competitiveness in global markets. According to data released by the General Administration of Customs, China's foreign trade grew by 17.3 percent year-on-year to reach 30.13 trillion yuan ($4.5 trillion) in the first seven months of 2026. While exports rose 14 percent year-on-year to 17.44 trillion yuan, imports surged 22 percent year-on-year to 12.69 trillion yuan, the data revealed. Sheana Yue, senior Asia economist at British think tank Oxford Economics, said that strong electronics and machinery exports, coupled with rising imports of industrial inputs, suggest that AI and electrification would remain key forces shaping global manufacturing. "China's competitiveness in AI hardware, electric vehicles and other high-value products will allow it to continue gaining global export market share," she said, warning that persistent disruption in the Middle East would keep energy and transport costs elevated. Latest customs data showed that in the first seven months, exports of mechanical and electrical products reached 11.12 trillion yuan, surging 21.2 percent year-on-year and accounting for 63.8 percent of China's total exports. The shift toward a higher-quality and more sustainable trade structure also aligns with China's policy priorities. A meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee in late July called for efforts to promote more balanced trade growth and expand mutually beneficial international economic and trade cooperation. Jiang Ping, a professor of foreign trade at the Beijing-based University of International Business and Economics, said that China's faster import growth reflected recovering domestic demand, with stronger consumption, industrial activity and investment suggesting that the economy was gaining momentum and pro-growth policies were taking effect. Marc Ostwald, chief economist at the London-based ADM Investor Services International, said that China's external trade has remained resilient this year, with trade links with Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South America continuing to expand. Meanwhile, China's trade with the United States has also shown signs of improvement. In the first seven months, two-way trade declined 1.6 percent year-on-year, narrowing from a 3.6 percent decline in the first half, customs data showed. In July alone, China-US trade increased 10.8 percent year-on-year, marking the fourth consecutive month of growth. Gao Shiwang, spokesperson for the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products in Beijing, said that high-tech and high-value-added products are more resilient to external shocks, supported by stronger demand, technological advantages and customer loyalty. "Compared with lower-end goods, they are better positioned to withstand market volatility and trade frictions," said Gao. With power grids undergoing upgrades in many parts of the world, Qingdao Qingdian Transformer Co, a power transformer manufacturer in Qingdao, Shandong province, saw its exports grow by 100 percent year-on-year to reach 120 million yuan between January and July, statistics from Qingdao Customs showed. "Foreign customers once chose Chinese transformers mainly for price advantages, but quality, technology and delivery efficiency have become key strengths," said Li Changchun, chairman of the company. GreaTech Substrates Co, a manufacturer of packaging substrates headquartered in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has deepened its integration into global semiconductor supply chains through overseas expansion, according to information released by Huangpu Customs in Guangdong. "We have established stable supply channels in Southeast Asia," said Wu Jianhang, the company's head of customs affairs. Wu said the company's high-density, ultrathin printed circuit boards are shipped to its clients' plants in Southeast Asia for assembly and integration before becoming components in advanced chips supplied to global markets. In Northeast China's Liaoning province, exports of mechanical and electrical products also amounted to 140.51 billion yuan in the first seven months, up 18.6 percent year-on-year, accounting for 53.3 percent of the province's total exports during the period, data from Shenyang Customs showed.

August 15 this year marks the 81st anniversary of Japan’s unconditional surrender in World War II. A ceremony themed “Nanjing Will Never Forget” was held on Saturday at the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu Province.
At the ceremony, a batch of newly acquired artifacts, historical materials, and documents related to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, including Japanese soldiers’ private letters, wartime postcards, educational materials on gas warfare, news compilations and French diplomatic archives, was officially added to the memorial hall's collection.
Overseas‑sourced historical archives drew wide attention among the donated materials. French youth Marcus Detrez, his compatriot Bastien Rata and Chinese youth Zhong Haosong jointly donated a set of historical documents on Japan’s aggression against China from the French diplomatic archives in Nantes, as well as Japanese‑language materials they had collected in Japan.
Marcus told Global Times on Saturday that, through these archives and related research, they have gained a deeper understanding of the brutality of the Nanjing Massacre. He said that collecting these materials was also aimed at conducting more educational work to help more people learn about this period of history.
The materials brought back from Japan by Zhong include albums of documentary paintings of the Japanese invasion of China by artists accompanying the invading Japanese army, privately taken photo albums of the invading Japanese troops, and original publications from the same period, including the Asahi Shimbun. These materials all come from original Japanese records.
The overseas historical materials were collected over an extended period. Zhong said they contacted sources online and searched through antique and secondhand book channels while continuing to collect materials in Japan.
The new collection on Saturday also includes materials gathered by Chinese youths. High school student Yu Ningpeng and Xu Weizhe donated 12 private letters written by a soldier of the 20th Regiment of the Imperial Japanese Army’s 16th Division, documenting his experiences during the invasion of China. One letter, dated December 20, 1937, contains accounts related to the Japanese occupation of Nanjing.
Meng Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute for National Memory and International Peace Studies, told the Global Times at the event on Saturday that historical research places great importance on the sources of historical materials, with original archives holding significant value.
Some of the materials donated this time were records left by the perpetrators themselves, while archives from third-party countries such as France provide another perspective, Meng said, adding that cross-checking materials from different sources can help build a more complete body of evidence.
Notably, alongside the handover of the latest batch of archival materials, the memorial hall also held a ceremony to induct the fifth group of inheritors of the historical memory of the Nanjing Massacre. Six people were named as the latest inheritors, including descendants of Nanjing Massacre survivors, descendants of eyewitnesses, and descendants of international friends. They help pass on historical memory through family traditions, educational activities and efforts to raise public awareness of history.
In recent years, a growing number of post-1990s and post-2000s private collectors, as well as foreign nationals, have joined efforts to collect historical materials, a trend that has deeply moved and impressed Zhou Feng, curator of the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, he told the Global Times.
Zhou said that preserving history and historical records was once widely seen as the responsibility of museums, cultural institutions and professional scholars; however, today, more and more private collectors are taking the initiative, spending their own money to collect historical materials scattered across China and overseas.
Historical memory, he said, needs to be passed down from one generation to the next. The donors come from different generations, nationalities and backgrounds, but share a common respect for historical truth and commitment to justice.
Since the beginning of this year, the memorial hall’s Nanjing Massacre Documents Center has launched a global campaign to collect relevant historical materials, receiving support from various sectors both in China and abroad. Nearly 100 donors from China and overseas have so far contributed materials to the memorial hall, Zhou said.
