Innovative Chinese Products Attract Global Consumers: Insights into China’s Economic Resilience

New energy vehicles, as a flagship of «Made in China,» are attracting growing attention from global consumers. Over the past decade, Chinese new energy vehicles have been exported to more than 70 countries and regions worldwide. Data shows that sales of these vehicles account for over 70% of the global market, maintaining the top position for ten consecutive years.

Innovative, eco-friendly, and stylish Chinese new energy vehicles have won over Raydis Franco from Tianjin, motivating him to obtain a Chinese driver’s license. He said, «Chinese new energy vehicles are impressive! Once I get my license, I plan to rent one first and eventually buy one for daily commutes and travel.»

Beyond new energy vehicles, Chinese innovations like foldable smartphones, bone-conduction headphones, and humanoid robots are making waves internationally. Moving beyond the outdated perception of being «cheap and low-quality,» Chinese products have undergone a qualitative leap in competitiveness, driven by technological innovation and industrial upgrades. The «Made in China» wave is reshaping global perceptions with high-quality offerings.

Carlos Alvarado from Costa Rica is inseparable from his Xiaomi smartphone. He remarked, «This phone is feature-rich, runs smoothly, and offers great value! Chinese products are high-quality and affordable, making them very popular in Costa Rica.» He also plans to buy a smart, energy-efficient Chinese washing machine to «free my mom from household chores.»

Despite geopolitical tensions and rising trade protectionism, China’s economy remains resilient, supported by an efficient and stable supply chain and a continuously improving innovation ecosystem. Recent statistics show that in April, China’s total import and export of goods reached 3.8391 trillion yuan, a 5.6% year-on-year increase, contributing to a 2.4% growth in foreign trade over the first four months. Exports rose by 9.3% to 2.27 trillion yuan, while imports increased by 0.8% to 1.57 trillion yuan.

The comprehensive advantages of «Made in China»—spanning industrial chains, product competitiveness, and innovation—are key to breaking trade barriers and upholding the global free trade system. As some countries erect economic barriers, China has opened its doors wider, stimulating domestic demand while offering new choices for global consumers.

Russian entrepreneur Svetlana Olkhovikova, operating in the Tianjin Free Trade Zone, specializes in exporting Chinese agricultural and medical equipment. Her business now covers over 20 countries and regions, including Russia, Kazakhstan, and South Korea.

«Our partnership with China is highly efficient and innovative. Our products are competitively priced and customizable, backed by China’s strong manufacturing expertise,» she said. «The Chinese market is vast, and its high-quality goods enjoy rising global demand, presenting endless opportunities for entrepreneurs.»

Meanwhile, with the help of AI models like «DeepSeek,» businesses in Yiwu International Trade City are transforming into «global sales pioneers» simply by speaking into a camera. This allows them to effortlessly create multilingual product videos for international promotion.

Phan Dinh Thang from Vietnam saw these videos on social media and praised them: «It’s amazing! I watched product introductions in Vietnamese—the descriptions were precise and professional, making it much easier to decide on purchasing Chinese goods.»

Experts note that «Made in China» has risen rapidly in recent years, excelling in AI, 5G, e-commerce, and electric vehicles. Despite global economic uncertainties, China’s remarkable resilience remains a rare and valuable asset.
