❤ 模仿文本：Now it sounds obvious but a major feature of the global economy since the end of the Second World War has been the rise and rise of trade. In fact, international trade has been growing significantly faster than world GDP. International trade agreements have thrown the doors open to ever-greater integration of our economies and ever-greater flows of goods and services across our borders. The result can be seen today in the vast piles of shipping containers that can be found stacked on the key side of mega ports, like Shanghai, Los Angeles and Rotterdam.
