China Posts Record $1.19tn Trade Surplus
7.1
China on Wednesday reported a 2025 trade surplus of $1.19 trillion, the first full-year surplus above $1 trillion, and surpassing 2024's $993 billion. Customs officials attributed the record to strong overseas demand—especially in Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America—growth in green and AI-related exports, and weak domestic demand amid property-sector strains. The figures highlight resilience despite sweeping US tariffs introduced last year.
