Definition
经贸 (jīng mào) is an abbreviation for 经济贸易, meaning 'economics and trade' as a combined field — broader than 贸易 (mào yì 'trade'), which refers only to the exchange of goods/services. It's used in formal, macro-level contexts like international relations, agreements, and policy. Unlike 商务 (shāng wù 'commercial affairs'), which focuses on business operations, 经贸 carries an economic/policy dimension.
