9. Switzerland
Value: 39 billion
Next up on the list is Switzerland, a country whose exports to China reach a total value of $39.9 billion, or 2.5% of the China’s total imports. While the value may be impressive, it’s actually 3% less than the value they reached a year prior, in 2015.
Wondering what China’s buying from Switzerland? Data shows that China spends the most money on pearls, precious stones and metals, and jewelry. Considering Switzerland’s name is often associated with luxury, it’s not necessarily surprising. Then, it imports meds, mechanical appliances, clocks and watches (again, not surprising), optical, photographic, cinematographic, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus, electrical machinery and more.
Essential oils and perfumes, ceramic, and vehicles are also on the list.
