Außenhandel: Chinas Exporte steigen im August um 25 Prozent – neuer Rekordüberschuss erwartet
Der Handelsüberschuss der weltweit zweitgrößten Volkswirtschaft wuchs in den ersten acht Monaten auf fast 806 Milliarden Dollar. Die Kritik der Handelspartner EU und USA wird lauter.
Beijing - Chinese exports experienced a significant surge in August, increasing by 24.7 percent compared to the same month last year, according to the country's customs authority. Imports also rose sharply, by 28.2 percent. This led to an export surplus of 806 billion US dollars for the first eight months of the year, surpassing the previous record of 1.2 billion dollars set last year.
Experts predict that the strong exports could set a new record for China's trade surplus this year, potentially increasing pressure on its trading partners. Last year's record surplus was attributed to the high demand for Chinese goods abroad. Some countries in the industrialized world are concerned that China's favorable exports could lead to job losses in their economies.
The sharp increases in both exports and imports are partly due to a significant rise in prices, particularly for chips used in data centers processing artificial intelligence.
