GLOBALink | Construction machinery exported to RCEP countries from Guangxi, China

More than 130 pieces of construction machinery were on their way to Australia and Indonesia, departing from south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Monday.

Officials say this was the first whole-vehicle export to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) member countries from Qinzhou Port.

Produced by Guangxi Liugong Group Co., Ltd., the exports included loaders, road rollers, and excavators.

In the first five months of this year, imports and exports with the RCEP member countries via Qinzhou Port grew 28.6 percent year on year to 26.25 billion yuan (about 3.9 billion U.S. dollars).

RCEP is the world's largest free trade deal that entered into force in January.
