Cargo ships load and unload cargo at the port of Ningbo Zhoushan in east China's Zhejiang Province.
The port, one of the country's busiest, has seen no slump in its cargo throughput since the beginning of this year, dispelling fears of dwindling foreign trade in China.
The port handled more than 1.25 billion tonnes of cargo in 2022, ranking first globally for the 14th consecutive year, according to the port. The port's container throughput hit 33.35 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) last year, ranking third globally.
