Although China's exports have been falling this year, commerce minister Chen Deming says he is satisfied with this year's trade performance. He says China-made products have been taking a greater share of the global market.

    China's imports and exports are expected to total at least 2.2 trillion US dollars, down 16 percent compared with last year. Despite the decline in exports, Chinese products are taking more market share.

    Chen Deming said, "Last year our products took 8.86 percent of the world's total trade. This year, the proportion is increasing at a relatively high rate. It is a not an easy achievement. The trade in the domestic market is maintaining growth of 15 to 16 percent, double the speed of GDP growth. A great deal of efforts has been made on that."

    Overseas demand for Chinese products is expected to remain unstable next year. More anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations are also expected. To deal with these problems, China is focusing its efforts, not on increasing the quantity, but on improving the quality of its products. The country should also encourage exports and reduce the trade surplus. The commerce minister says it will take two to three years for exports to return to 2008's level.

    尽管今年中国的出口有所下降，但是商务部长陈德铭表示他对本年度的贸易表现感到满意。他说，中国制造的产品在世界市场上占有了更大的份额。

    中国的进出口贸易额预计至少可以达到2.2万亿，与去年同比下降16%.尽管出口萎缩，中国产品将在市场上拥有更多的份额。

    陈德铭说，"去年我们出口的商品占世界贸易总额的8.86%.今年，我们对市场的占有率将达到一个相当高的比率。这是一个了不起的成就。国内贸易保持15-16%的增长率，这一速度是同期GDP增长速度的两倍。在这方面我们做了大量的努力。"

    明年海外市场对中国产品的需求估计不稳定。而且中国产品也可能面临更多的的反倾销和反出口补贴的调查。为解决这些问题，中国将着力于提升产品的质量而不是增加出口商品的数量。国家应该鼓励出口和减少贸易顺差。商务部长说，出口额要恢复到2008年的水平将需要两到三年的时间。
