服务贸易分为通讯服务、金融服务、旅游及旅行服务、环境服务、教育服务等12大领域。受新冠疫情影响，今年全球服务贸易总体规模有所下降，但中国服务出口明显好于进口，而且近几个月整体服务贸易走势出现企稳态势。7月当月，中国服务出口增长3.3%，这是今年疫情发生以来第二次当月出口由负转正。中国也是3月份以来全球主要服务贸易国中唯一增长的国家。前7个月，中国服务出口降幅小于进口降幅21.4个百分点，带动整体的逆差下降49.4%至4488亿元，同比减少4384亿元。知识密集型服务进出口1.15万亿元人民币，占服务进出口总额的比重达到44%，提升了9.7个百分点。China's service exports in July increased by 3.3 percent. It is the second time the exports of services from China in a month have grown since the COVID-19 outbreak. It is also the only country that has seen growth in service-related trades since March. In the first seven months of 2020, the deficit of service trades decreased by 49.4 percent to 448.8 billion yuan (65.61 billion U.S. dollars), which is 438.4 billion yuan (64.09 billion U.S. dollars) less than the same period last year. Imports and exports of knowledge-intense services have seen a larger percentage in the structure of service trading. For the first seven months, the overall amount of this kind reached 1.15 trillion yuan (168.13 billion U.S. dollars), which accounts for 44 percent of all service trades and is 9.7 percent higher than the year before.
