At a policy briefing on measures to expand and upgrade comprehensive bonded
zones, officials said goods import‑export through China’s comprehensive bonded
zones totaled 3.5 trillion yuan in the first five months, up 27.1% YoY and
representing 16.9% of national import‑export value. The zones cover just 0.005%
of China’s land area but account for roughly one‑sixth of the country’s foreign
trade, the briefing added.
