China was the seventh biggest service export country and the fifth largest service import country in 2007.

China's Hong Kong, the United States, Japan and the Republic of Korea are the four biggest service trade partners of Chinese mainland, according to the MOC.

Yi Xiaozhun, the MOC vice minister, said China was making efforts to beef up service trade in some pillar industries, and to expand cultural-related service trade in overseas markets.
