In the first quarter of this year, Yiwu's total import and export value reached 167.45 billion yuan (about $23 billion), with exports rising 14.5 percent to 147.27 billion yuan. Empowered by AI, driven by digital tools, research and innovation are unlocking global markets. Even as global trade faces rising uncertainty, Yiwu shows remarkable resilience.
Yiwu isn't coastal, yet it connects to the oceans. Not a border city, yet it links to the world. Yiwu stands at the center of global trade, where "Made in China" reaches the ends of the earth.
