In 2021，in the face of severe situations such as the ups and downs of the pandemic，all localities and departments resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on the steady growth of foreign trade and face difficulties directly under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. As a result，China’s import and export trade has not only created a historical peak in terms of scale and its global share，but also continued to advance in terms of high-quality development characterized by new kinetic energy and new business formats. However，the current development of China’s foreign trade also has problems such as low efficiency of international shipping，increased industrial chain risks and deteriorating terms of trade. It is recommended to introduce more powerful measures in participating in the reform of international multilateral institutions，maintaining the normal operation of the global industrial chain，stimulating the vitality of foreign trade market players，and developing new foreign trade models and new business formats to help foreign trade play a more important role in building a new development pattern.
