It has worked with relevant parties to advance the high-quality implementation of the RCEP, so as to make the worlds largest free trade area release more dividends.作为RCEP成员中最大经济体，中国倡导真正的多边主义，坚持开放的区域主义，同有关各方一道全面高质量实施RCEP，让这一全球最大自贸区安排释放更多红利。From promoting the development of trade of goods and ensuring that preferential rules of origin play their roles, to implementing customs procedure and trade facilitation rules at a high standard and further opening up the service trade sector, China has continued working with relevant parties to advance trade and investment liberalization and facilitation.从促进货物贸易发展、确保优惠原产地规则发挥实效，到高标准实施海关程序和贸易便利化规则、提高服务贸易对外开放水平等，中国携手各方持续推进贸易和投资自由化便利化。In the first 11 months of 2022, Chinas total trade with other RCEP members reached 11.8 trillion yuan ($1.71 trillion), up 7.9 percent year on year and accounting for 30.7 percent of Chinas total imports and exports.2022年前11个月，中国与RCEP其他成员进出口总额达11.8万亿元人民币，同比增长7.9%，占中国外贸进出口总额的30.7%。

Together, they have sent a positive signal of safeguarding multilateralism, following open cooperation, promoting free trade and striving for common prosperity.
