Today, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the International Trade and Economic Cooperation Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce jointly released the 2025 “Trade and Development Report” in Beijing. The report focuses on topics such as trade, finance, and the reshaping of the global economic landscape. The report points out that global trade is facing challenges. Uncertainty in tariff policies and trade barriers are putting pressure on multilateral economic and trade cooperation, and have also brought many risks and new challenges to developing countries. Despite the reshaping of trade and many new changes and uncertainties, more than 70% of world trade flows are still carried out in accordance with WTO rules. China has steadfastly maintained the multilateral trading system, provided certainty and stability to the world, and has also been leading the development of the global South.
