Foreign cultural trade shows robust growth

China’s foreign cultural trade registered a robust growth of 38.7 percent, year on year, in 2021, a commerce official said on July 21.

The total foreign trade volume of cultural products exceeded 200 billion US dollars for the first time last year, Shu Jueting, spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce told a press conference.

The MOC has coordinated with 26 other government departments to issue a guideline to promote the high-quality development of foreign cultural trade to grasp new opportunities brought by the digital economy, said Shu.

Measures would support the import and export of high-quality cultural products and services and promote cultural exchange.

Shu noted that efforts would be made to detail and ensure the implementation of relevant policies.
