China's foreign trade of electronic information products has
climbed 23.6 percent year-on-year to US$727.49 billion from January
to November, the Ministry of Information Industry (MOII) said
Friday.
The growth rate was 11.4 percentage points lower than in the
same period last year, the MOII said in a statement posted on its
Web site.
Exports of electronic information products rose 26.2 percent to
US$414.48 billion, and imports jumped 20.3 percent to US$313
billion.
China's electronic information industry was still largely
dominated by foreign players despite the growth in trade volume.
Solely foreign-invested companies and Sino-foreign joint ventures
in China contributed to 83.8 percent of the total electronic
information products exports.
The exports and imports of electronic information products
accounted for 37.6 percent and 36.2 percent of China's total
exports and imports in the first 11 months of 2007,
respectively.
