Zhejiang lifts exports

ZHEJIANG province has reported substantial growth in foreign trade this year, with total exports valued at US$4.18 billion.

The structure of Zhejiang's export industry has changed greatly, with industrial products accounting for 80 per cent of the total this year.

To pave the way for more exports, the province has in recent years pooled billions of yuan into building infrastructure facilities, including those in energy, transport and telecommunications.

A number of major projects, including the Wenzhou and Yiwu airports, the Zhapu and Beilun ports, and the Xuanzhou-Hangzhou railway, have been put into operation.
