9、,the increase of the exports directly drive the growth of GDP,as well as the consumption.investment, government expenditure and imports.Meanwhile,export indirectly stimulate economic growth.The key to develop a countrys foreign trade is the expansion of its export. Without export, there can be no gu

13、rom 2013 China Year Book)As is known to all,foreign trade is an indispensable element to any countrys economy .But there are many reasons why a country especially a developing one like China shall try to expand the exports. The reasons are listed below:2.11Increase scale of productionBy exporting, i

14、ndustries can increase the scale of their production thus increasing efficiency and lowering costs,Cases in point are the textile industry and garment industry in Shanghai and Guangzhou.Another case in point is the manufacturing industry,such as tires toys and machine components might not have been

15、developed to such a large scale if it were not for export.2.12Promote economic growthDevelopment of export industry helps create new employment and stimulate economic growth.The proper example is the motor corporations in China.In recent 10 years ,they have made remarkable contributions to supply mo

16、re and more goods with high quality for export.2.13Drive technological advanceCompetition in international markets provokes exporters to acclimatize their products to the needs of the market,which mainly happened in high-tech world.Here is a famous example on Apple Inn.It researched and developed th

17、e touch screen mobile phone,which causes a new revolution in communication industry and promote technological progress.2.2Import Trade Import trade means shipping the products produced or processed in foreign market to our domestic market to sell.Import can accelerate the development and production

18、of its new products.But there are other reasons why a country especially a developing one like China should try to expand the imports. The reasons are listed below:2.21Solve the supply bottleneck of resource,technology With the rapid economic growth in China, domestic investment and consumer demand

19、have beyond the current domestic productivity.Worse still, the current production and supply are unable to meet the demand of advanced technology, which has resulted in supply bottleneck. In all walks of life,especially in high-tech field, only by importing the sources that the domestic markets are

20、short of, can the supply bottleneck solved. Importing key equipment and advanced technology is a major way of making the transformation from the closed economy to the open one and enhancing a steady and constant economic growth in China.For example ,since 1980s, the industrial materials China import

21、ed every year has been taking 40% to 50% of the total imports. Fortunately, The import of large volume of raw materials and resources has eased the pressure of domestic limited resources and compensated domestic supply shortfall, thus contributing to the rapid economic development in China.2.22Raise

22、 productivityImporting advanced technology and equipment, can improve the technical level of various production departments in China and shorten technology gap with developed countries; What is more, introduction of scientific management , will make the domestic division of labor further integration

23、 with the world, Improved structure and further improve the productivity.2.23Ease trade frictionsIt is well acknowledged that trade surplus for a long time leads to the constant friction between China and America.In order to ease trade frictions,our country have to increase import because there is n

24、o way out.A factual basis is that,BoXilai, Chinas Commerce Minister tells the reporters on the two sessions that we never pursue trade surplus blindly, and China is encouraging import policy. 2.24 Other aspectsIn addition, more import means more demand for foreign exchange, which is favorable to exp

25、ort. Also, import is supportive of expanding foreign demand.2.3Transit tradeThe transit trade refers to that,in the international trade, the import and export of the cargoes are not operated between the producer and consumer countries directly, but to manipulated by third countries.Through the trans

26、it trade ,China can get considerable profits and other revenues from re warehousing, transportation, loading and unloading, taxes.It can also promote the development of the local finance, transportation, telecommunications and other industries.3. ConclusionAs is known to all, foreign trade plays an

27、extremely important role in promoting Chinas economic growth.In addition, the enhancement of the export trade does not mean that the import trade weakening the economic growth, and vice versa.No one can deny the fact that cooperation of three kinds of trade modes can further accelerate the rapid dev

28、elopment of economy. Actively engaging in international trade greatly benefits Chinas economic growth. Last but not least ,economic globalization is an inevitable trend, only by adapting to the world market rules with the least delay possible and effectively operating international trades, can our c
