(中文)

市场是商品交换和资源配置的场所,中国拥有全球规模最大、增长最快的消费市场,是全球经济的重要引擎。

English Definition

A system or place where buyers and sellers exchange goods and services. China's domestic market of 1.4 billion consumers is the world's largest and most sought-after.

Market access for foreign companies in China — and reciprocal access for Chinese companies abroad — is a major point of international trade negotiations.
