China's white goods export

The export of large-scale electrical appliances (such as refrigerators and washing machines) used in China continued to increase, and the export of small household appliances began to increase last year.

The EU countries are still strong buyers of white goods in China, accounting for about 45% of China’s total exports, said Shi Yonghe, deputy director of the Chamber of Commerce.
