Notably, Changzhou's exports exhibited a growth rate 5.8 percentage points higher than the provincial average. This remarkable achievement is particularly impressive in light of the global demand downturn and our substantial economic footprint.

The "new three" products, encompassing electric vehicles (EVs), lithium-ion batteries, and solar cells, saw an impressive 20.7 percent year-on-year surge in exports, with the cumulative export value amounting to 19.37 billion yuan. Remarkably, lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles (EVs) have taken the lead in propelling export growth, showcasing remarkable surges of 64.3 percent and an astonishing 129.4 times, respectively.
As Changzhou's global network continued to expand, the trade volume between Changzhou and the EU, its leading trading partner, recorded a 5.8 percent increase during the first seven months of this year.
