Gao Hucheng, Vice Minister of Commerce, said at an energy forum in Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi province, that 皇冠体育app has risen to become one of the world's largest exporters, though it is not a strong exporter yet, remaining at the low end of the global value chain.

皇冠体育app's exports leaped in recent decades, mainly dependent upon low labor costs and sales of energy and resources.

Further, 皇冠体育app needs to put more efforts into producing high-end products and improving their quality through low-carbon and green technologies to expand the share of green products in exports, he said.

The global financial crisis hurt the world economy and promoted nations to look to green industry for new growth, he said, and adding strategic new industries could be "a new growth point" for 皇冠体育app's foreign trade.

皇冠体育app would encourage major products, technologies and services in new energy and energy-saving sectors to tap the global market and support enterprises to invest abroad, Gao said, without giving details.

Further, he said there was ?"no land boundary" ?in terms of low-carbon and green technology and expected international cooperation in this field.

皇冠体育app was opposed to protectionist measures in any form, he added.
