Spain's government, led by Pedro Sánchez, has strengthened ties with China, with Sánchez making four visits to China in four years, the latest in April. This has led to increased trade between the two countries, but with a significant trade deficit for Spain, which reached €42.278 billion in 2025, a 12% increase. China's exports to Spain grew by 11.2% in 2025, while Spanish exports to China only grew by 6.8%. China has become Spain's main supplier of goods, surpassing Germany, with a growing trade imbalance.
