This paper, based on the data up to November 2007, forecasts China's trade volume in 2007 and 2008 including that between China and major trading partners and that of major trading commodities. Attention should be paid to six problems: the sustainable development of foreign trade; the economic risk from high-level commodity futures' prices; the safety and quality of our products; the risks of "going out"; the invalidity of appreciation of RMB in adjusting trade balance; the strict environment of trade friction.

Look ahead at 2008, the economic environment is good and the internal driving force of China's economy keeps high. This economic cycle is still in its up stage, thus China's economy will keep a high growth trend. On the other side, the prices of resource products in both domestic and international markets change rapidly, and some other negative factors such as long-term structural contradiction do exist. Under a set of macro-adjustment policies for controlling economic overheating and inflation, the economic growth will slow down a little bit in 2008. It is predicted that the annual growth rate of GDP in 2008 will be about 10.2%, the annual growth rate of industrial value-added will be about 16.6%, the annual growth rate of fixed assets investment of city and town will be about 24.2%, the annual growth rate of consumption will be about 16.7%, the annual growth rate of export will be about 24.1%, and the annual growth rate of CPI will be about 4.4%.
