EU China's top trade partner in Jan-Feb
今年1至2月份欧盟反超东盟成中国最大贸易伙伴

With the European Union surpassing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to become China's largest trading partner in the first two months of the year, China-EU trade demonstrates resilience and vitality, but it will take more time to figure out if the EU can hold the top position over the long term, Gao Feng, a spokesman for China's Ministry of Commerce, said in an online media briefing on Thursday. "China is willing to join with the EU to proactively promote the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, safeguard the stability and smooth operations of industrial and supply chains and jointly elevate China-EU economic and trade cooperation to benefit enterprises and people from both sides," he said. 
商务部发言人高峰在3月17日的在线新闻发布会上表示，欧盟反超东盟，在今年前两个月成为中国第一大贸易伙伴，这反映出中欧贸易较强的韧性和活力，不过这一情况是季节性的还是趋势性的，还有待进一步观察。高峰称：“中方愿同欧方一道，积极推动贸易投资自由化便利化，维护产业链供应链稳定畅通，共同把中欧经贸合作的蛋糕越做越大、越做越好，造福双方企业和民众。”

During the January-February period, bilateral trade between China and the EU surged 14.8 percent year-on-year to reach $137.16 billion, which was $570 million more than the ASEAN-China trade value. China and the EU also achieved a record $828.1 billion in bilateral goods trade last year, according to the MOC.
