Hohhot, September 17 /Xinhua/ — In the first 8 months of 2026, the foreign trade turnover through the Manzhouli automobile checkpoint /Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia, Northern China/, located on the border between China and Russia, grew by 58.2 percent year-on-year to 105.66 billion yuan /about 15.77 billion US dollars/. This figure reached a historic high since the checkpoint began operating. This is evidenced by data from the Office for Checkpoint Management of Manzhouli city.
According to statistics, during the specified period the total volume of exports and imports through the Manzhouli railway checkpoint amounted to 105.19 billion yuan, with an increase of 33.7 percent year on year.
The head of the Pass Management Office of Manzhouli city, Zhang Shipu, said that since the beginning of the current year, the export of high value-added goods has shown steady growth. In particular, there has been simultaneous growth in the volume and value of exports of automobiles, electrical engineering equipment, computers, and their components. Furthermore, the export volume of “three new types of goods” – electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, and photovoltaic products – is growing at a high rate, and the volume of used car exports continues to increase as well.
Zhang Shipu stated that in the first eight months, the trade volume through the Manzhouli automobile checkpoint exceeded for the first time the volume through the Manzhouli railway checkpoint, indicating a more balanced trade structure through this border crossing. According to him, the Manzhouli checkpoint administration office will strengthen inter-agency cooperation and simplify customs procedures to significantly reduce logistics and time costs.
