China has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest country exporting cultural goods in 2013, a latest UNESCO report said.

By 2013, the total value of China's cultural exports stood at $60.1 billion, more than double that of the United States' $27.9 billion, according to the report by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS).

"Trade in cultural goods totaled $212.8 billion in 2013, nearly double the amount in 2004. This is further evidence of the critical role cultural industries play in today's global economy," said Silvia Montoya, director of the UIS.
