Open up new markets+expand domestic markets. Foreign trade enterprises boost ＂going out to sea＂ and develop confidence.

CCTV News:At present, the international trade situation is complicated, and Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, known as the "world supermarket", stands at the forefront. After visiting Yiwu International Trade City on the spot, the reporter found that most business households remained calm and conveyed their confidence to the outside world through various means.　

In this kitchen ware shop, business owner Liu Pingjuan is introducing products to a buyer from Sweden. He told reporters that his business does not depend on the American market. Although the goods ordered by American customers years ago were intended to be shipped at the end of April, the goods have been exported to the African market.

Liu Pingjuan, the business owner of Yiwu International Trade City, said: "Our enterprises in Yiwu, including those in China, are full of tenacity. If you close one door, we can open countless doors because we are engaged in global trade. At present, South American markets such as Brazil and Mexico, for the five Central Asian countries and for Africa, the layout in these two years is still very impressive. "

In the Christmas supplies area, the reporter saw that many foreign businessmen are selecting samples and negotiating orders in various shops.

Jiang Jiangping, a business owner of Yiwu International Trade City, said: "Our Yiwu market is doing global business. The United States is not bright in the west, but we are bright in the east. I can do more business like Kazakhstan and Russia, and they are all doing well. The American list is not picked up, and I can pick up these lost lists when I am free. "

Every working day at 8: 30 in the morning, there will be a vivid foreign language class in the atrium of Yiwu International Trade City, which has been held for 19 years. From English to Arabic, some people take notes while eating instant noodles, and some people hold mobile phones to compare Arabic teaching videos.

The Arabic teacher said: "I am particularly motivated and more energetic than young people."

Driven by the guidance of local governments and the initiative of enterprises to "go global", in recent years, Yiwu has already moved into the wilderness of diversified operations, extending its commercial tentacles to Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, the Middle East and other regions. The data shows that in the first quarter of 2025, the total import and export value of Yiwu reached 167.45 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.0%.　

Chengdu, Sichuan: furniture export is seriously blocked, and many parties work together to expand the domestic market.

Chengdu is one of the main gathering places of furniture industry in China. Due to the influence of American tariffs, some furniture export enterprises in Chengdu have their orders returned. Just when they are at a loss, a turning point appears. Let’s watch the reporter’s investigation together.

When the reporter came to a furniture production base in Chengdu, Zheng Xinwei, who specializes in furniture export business, was counting the sofa goods under the influence of US tariffs.

Zheng Xinwei told reporters that more than 90% of their products were sent to the United States, and this sudden tariff made the whole factory press the pause button. The backlog of a large number of goods makes the company’s capital chain on the verge of breaking. Faced with this situation, Zheng Xinwei seemed helpless, and the reporter had to end the interview. However, what people didn’t expect was that the turnaround came quickly. Just one day later, the reporter received a phone call from Zheng Xinwei.

The reporter came to a large commercial complex in Chengdu and saw Zheng Xinwei’s sofa exhibition area as soon as he entered the door. Many consumers experience and consult on the spot, and Zheng Xinwei and his colleagues are also busy explaining.

Why did the turnaround come so fast? The reporter learned that in recent days, the local authorities are also working hard to find out the needs of enterprises affected by US tariffs, accurately carry out docking activities, provide venues and channels for high-quality export commodities such as furniture, food and household items, and accelerate the introduction of domestic supermarkets and e-commerce platforms.

Zheng Xinwei, the head of a home furnishing company in Chengdu, Sichuan, said: "There are many domestic and foreign guests who have consulted in the past two days. The big domestic construction contractors have recognized our products very much, and now they have started the follow-up docking work, which has also rekindled our confidence in the market prospects."
