According to CCTV News, since July last year, the output of standard dry cargo containers has continuously set new historical records. The monthly output in January 2021 reached 410,000 TEUs, more than double the normal level.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce also said recently that they are currently working with the Ministry of Transport, the Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the General Administration of Customs and other departments to increase shipping capacity, improve the efficiency of China-Europe express trains, increase container supply, and improve trade convenience. To promote the smooth operation of international logistics.
In the past year, the success of many companies has been hampered by the disruption of the global shipping supply chain. China's exports to the West have surged, and the epidemic has prevented ports from functioning normally. Many containers have not returned smoothly, causing ships to line up outside the ports and soaring freight rates. Chinese media call it "a box is hard to find."
China has recovered from the epidemic faster than any other large economy, and its exports of goods, electronic products and medical equipment produced in China that are related to the blockade have also increased significantly. China’s exports have grown at a double-digit rate for several consecutive months, and the trade surplus hit a record high at the end of last year.
