China's trade surplus for the year exceeded the $1 trillion mark for the first time in history, according to updated data from the country's customs administration.
This is a record figure that underscores the dominance of Chinese exports on global markets despite geopolitical tensions and declining demand in a number of regions.
Details
According to the agency, the surplus growth was due to an increase in supplies of electronics, renewable energy equipment, and cars, including electric vehicles. At the same time, China's imports showed restrained dynamics, which also affected the final balance.
Analysts note that such a large surplus could increase pressure on Beijing from the US and EU, which accuse China of excessive subsidies to industry and violating the principles of fair competition.
Context.
China remains one of the drivers of global trade, and its foreign trade strategy shapes global supply chains. In 2025, the country actively expanded the production of high-tech products in an effort to compensate for the decline in real estate and domestic consumption.
