China's target is 10 billion dollars

The Aegean Exporters' Associations (EİB) will organize Türkiye's national participation in the China International Import Expo (CIIE), to be held in Shanghai from November 5-10, 2026, as part of efforts to rebalance bilateral trade between Türkiye and China. EİB has been intensifying its work in recent years to address the trade imbalance, with the expo serving as a key platform for Turkish exporters to access the Chinese market. The organization is targeting $10 billion in trade with China, according to the article's title. The move matters because Türkiye runs a significant trade deficit with China, and boosting exports is seen as a way to narrow that gap. What to watch next is whether Turkish exporters can convert CIIE participation into concrete sales and whether the $10 billion target translates into measurable gains in bilateral trade volumes.
