> China’s deeper opening of its services sector is expected to strengthen the global competitiveness of Chinese providers and create new opportunities for businesses worldwide. Broader market access and regulatory liberalization could expand both services imports and exports, with digital and technology-intensive services emerging as key growth drivers. The 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services will be held in Beijing with participation from about 90 countries, regions and international organizations. Services trade totaled nearly 4.45 trillion yuan in the first seven months of 2026, up 8.3% year on year.
