China's foreign trade sector has continued to show robust growth, with new data indicating a more than five percent year-on-year increase in total foreign trade volume, reaching approximately 4.5 trillion U.S. dollars in the first three quarters of the year. A key factor driving this expansion is the country's enhanced shipping network, with 16 new routes added this year at Yantian Port in Shenzhen, covering regions including the Americas, Australia, and the Mediterranean.
