  "account": "Beijing - China's exports continued to gain momentum in August, according to the country's customs authority. The country's exports rose by 25 percent compared to the same month last year, meeting the expectations of several analysts. However, imports grew by only 28.2 percent, falling short of market experts' predictions. This resulted in a significant trade surplus of around 119.1 billion US dollars (currently about 102.5 billion euros). Driven by automobile exports and the booming artificial intelligence business, the world's second-largest economy is on track to achieve a similarly high surplus as the previous year. In 2021, China recorded a record surplus of 1.2 trillion US dollars. Major trading partners such as the EU and the United States express concerns over the imbalance. Germany, for instance, experienced a 9.8 percent increase in exports to China compared to the previous year. Conversely, Chinese imports from Germany declined by 9.7 percent. The regularly released data was published a few weeks before an anticipated meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump in Washington. The Republican leader had invited Xi to the White House during his visit to Beijing in May. The trade dispute between the powerful nations, politically, economically, and militarily, is expected to be a central topic at the meeting.",
