BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s foreign trade may face a more complicated situation next year given base effects and receding positive factors associated with the global COVID-19 pandemic, Wang Wentao, the country’s Commerce Minister said on Monday.

Foreign trade already faces a complex situation in the second half this year, Wang told a news conference in Beijing.

China’s cross-cyclical macroeconomic policy will help economic fluctuations stay within a reasonable range, Wang added.
