2019年，全球经济增长的势头减弱，国际市场消费者的需求逐渐回落，欧美国家的贸易保护主义不断抬头和升温，进一步加剧了全球市场的复杂多变和不确定性风险。然而在充满诸多困难和挑战的大背景下，中国对外贸易仍然实现了逆势增长，不仅对外贸易规模创历史新高，而且对外贸易结构实现了优化，为巩固和提高对外贸易质量奠定了良好的基础。2019年，中国服务贸易发展整体上稳中有升，贸易逆差呈现显著下降态势，贸易结构进一步优化，服务贸易逐步凸显高质量发展的成效。受到全球经济增长放缓、贸易摩擦加剧的影响，2019年全球对外直接投资仍然呈现停滞态势，中国对外直接投资流量出现小幅下滑，对外投资结构进一步优化，然而中国企业的跨国并购出现了大幅回落，跨国并购的行业主要集中在高技术水平和高附加值的新兴产业，亚太地区成为跨国并购活动最多的区域，此外，共建“一带一路”国家则成为中国企业FDI的重要市场。
In 2019，due to the weakening of the global economic growth momentum，consumer demand in the international market has gradually declined，and trade protectionism in European and American countries has continued to rise and heat up，further exacerbating the risks of complexity and uncertainty in the global market. However，under the background of many difficulties and challenges，China’s foreign trade still achieved growth against the trend. Not only did the scale of foreign trade hit a record high，but the structure of foreign trade was optimized，and the quality of foreign trade showed a steady improvement. The quality of trade has laid a good foundation. In 2019，the overall development of China’s service trade has been steadily rising，the trade deficit has shown a significant decline，the trade structure has been further optimized，and the service trade has gradually demonstrated the effects of high-quality development. Affected by the slowdown in global economic growth and intensified trade frictions，global foreign direct investment remained stagnant in 2019. The flow of Chinese foreign direct investment declined slightly，and the structure of foreign investment was further optimized. However，the cross-border mergers and acquisitions of Chinese enterprises have fallen sharply. The industries of cross-border mergers and acquisitions are mainly concentrated in high-tech and high-value-added emerging industries. The Asia-Pacific region has become the region with the most cross-border mergers and acquisitions activities. In addition，countries along the “Belt and Road” have become important markets for Chinese enterprises’ FDI.
