MOFCOM said it will, over the 15th Five-Year Plan period, deepen Belt and Road economic and trade cooperation and push trade innovation. Policy priorities include expanding green-trade and cross-border e-commerce links with partner countries, promoting exports and imports of emerging-industry foreign-trade products, and increasing imports of high-quality goods from partner countries to support their industrial development. The ministry will continue zero-tariff treatment for least-developed countries with diplomatic ties to China and will implement comprehensive zero-tariff measures for African countries that have diplomatic relations with China. MOFCOM also flagged plans to boost services trade—notably R&D and design cooperation—roll out a Thousand Sails outbound cultural trade plan, and expand digital trade.
