中国外贸数据延迟公布的真相与跨境电商发展条件
近期关于中国外贸出口下滑的讨论甚嚣尘上，许多声音指出2023年1月份的外贸数据迟迟未公布，引发诸多猜测。但实际上，这是海关总署自2020年起就实施的常规操作。
Recently, discussions about China's declining foreign trade exports have been rampant, with many voices pointing out that the foreign trade data for January 2023 has not been released, sparking much speculation. However, this is actually a routine practice implemented by the General Administration of Customs since 2020.
数据合并发布的真实原因
The Real Reason for Combined Data Release
海关总署为与国家统计局数据发布时间保持一致，每年1-2月的外贸数据都会合并发布。这主要是为了消除春节假期在不同月份造成的统计偏差。
To align with the National Bureau of Statistics' data release schedule, the foreign trade data for January-February is released combined each year. This is mainly to eliminate statistical deviations caused by the Spring Festival holiday falling in different months.
与国庆长假不同，春节假期影响通常持续15-20天，企业生产节奏被打乱，导致单月数据参考价值降低。
Unlike the National Day holiday, the Spring Festival impact usually lasts 15-20 days, disrupting enterprise production rhythms and reducing the reference value of single-month data.
当前外贸面临的真实挑战
Real Challenges Facing Current Foreign Trade
虽然数据延迟公布并非刻意隐瞒，但中国外贸确实面临双重压力：
While the delayed data release is not intentional concealment, China's foreign trade does face dual pressures:
- 欧美消费需求下降：加息与通胀导致欧美消费者缩减开支
- 美国订单转移：地缘政治因素促使美国将部分订单转向越南、印度等国
- Declining consumption demand in Europe and America: Interest rate hikes and inflation have led to reduced spending by Western consumers
- Order transfers by the US: Geopolitical factors are prompting the US to shift some orders to Vietnam, India and other countries
