World trade: China's exports grow strongly - surplus on record course
China's export engine continues to run at high speed. However, criticism of the imbalance is growing among China's trading partners. Experts have differing opinions on a recent agreement.
China's exports surged by 36.3% in September compared to the same period last year, with imports also rising by 31%. The country's trade surplus reached $133 billion, exceeding analyst expectations. The growth in exports was driven in part by the boom in artificial intelligence, with increased demand for semiconductors, storage media, and power transmission products.
China's trade surplus for the first three quarters of the year reached $938.11 billion, putting the country on track to beat its record surplus of $1.2 trillion set in 2025.
