[National Bureau of Statistics: Three factors have driven the rapid growth of imports this year] On September 15, Fu Linghui, spokesperson, chief economist and director of the National Economic Comprehensive Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said at a press conference of the State Council Information Office that three factors have promoted the rapid growth of imports. One is the promotion of global industrial technological innovation. As an important manufacturing country in the world, China occupies an important position in the global industrial chain and supply chain. In the process of globalized production, China's demand for upstream raw materials and intermediate products is expanding, which will inevitably lead to an increase in imports. The second is driven by the expansion of domestic market demand. Since the beginning of this year, China's economic performance has been generally stable, the market demand for industrial production has continued to expand, and industrial production has also maintained rapid growth. The third is to proactively expand the impact of imports. China has expanded independent opening up and unilateral opening up in an orderly manner, and held international exhibitions such as the China International Import Expo, Consumer Expo, and Chain Expo, creating favorable conditions for global high-quality goods to enter China.
