Xiamen in East China's Fujian province saw a boom in foreign trade in the first 10 months of 2018, with its total volume exceeding 4.5 billion yuan ($652 million), up by 7.7 percent year-on-year.
The city's export volume surged 11.7 percent year-on-year to 3.8 billion yuan in the same period, with textile and clothing being the main export products. Spirits, zinc ore and marble were Xiamen's main imports from the European country.
Xiamen enjoys a long history of exchanges with Spain. As early as 2005, the city established friendly relations with Las Palmas, a port city in Spain, which, like Xiamen, also boasts a prosperous tourism industry.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
