BEIJING: The trade volume between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan reached $18.9 billion in the first two months of 2010, a nearly 80 percent growth year-on-year, according to a report posted on the Ministry of Commerce website.
The figure included $3.7 billion of the Chinese mainland's export to Taiwan, up 67.7 percent year-on-year, and about $15.2 billion of its import from the island, up 79.5 percent, according to the report.
The Chinese mainland is currently Taiwan's largest export market.
The island's export to the mainland in January and February accounted for close to 40 percent of Taiwan's total export volume in the two months, according to earlier reports.
Meanwhile, the Chinese mainland's trade volume with Hong Kong in January and February this year is also up more than 24 percent compared with the same period last year, according to the report.
