China's foreign trade will maintain steady growth in 2018, as the country's economy posted stable performance amid mounting external uncertainties, according to a report released by the Ministry of Commerce. China's foreign trade saw fast growth in the first three quarters, the report said. The country's goods trade rose 11.1 percent year-on-year to 27.88 trillion yuan (about 4 trillion U.S. dollars) in the first 11 months this year, customs data showed. The report also said that the Chinese economy currently showed many favorable conditions to sustain medium-high growth and move toward a medium- to high-end level, laying a solid foundation for the development of foreign trade.
