In 2023, goods imports to China decreased by about 0.3 percent compared to the previous year (based on yuan value). Resulting from a difficult global economic environment and the high base of total imports during the pandemic, China's international trade saw only slow growth that year.
The ASEAN was the major region exporting to China in 2023, accounting for over 15 percent of China’s total imports. The European Union was China's second largest import origin that year. In addition, China's closest neighbors – South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan – each covered six to eight percent of the total import value.
