Chinese Maritime Trade

Chinese maritime trade refers to the movement of goods and commodities between China and other countries via ships across oceans and seas. Historically, it included key routes like the Maritime Silk Road, connecting China with Asia, Africa, and Europe. Today, China’s maritime trade is vital for the global economy, involving the export of electronics, textiles, and manufactured goods, and the import of oil, raw materials, and food. Major ports such as Shanghai and Guangzhou serve as hubs for international shipping. This trade sustains economic growth, fosters international relations, and demonstrates China's strategic importance in global commerce.
