China notches historic $1.2 trillion trade surplus

Beijing — China recorded the world’s biggest ever trade surplus in 2025, capping off a year in which the world’s largest manufacturer defied US trade pressure by ramping up exports to other global markets.
The huge trade surplus – a measure of how much more a country exports than it imports – stood at a record $1.2 trillion, marking a 20% jump from 2024 with Chinese companies deepening their pivot away from US consumers toward emerging markets in Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America.
China’s exports to the US, historically China’s largest single market, was down 19.5% overall in 2025 versus the previous year.
But while Beijing’s resilience in the face of US President Donald Trump’s trade war will be heralded as a victory inside China, globally, the surplus risks further inflaming trade tensions among nations who fear being overwhelmed by lower-cost Chinese imports.

Exports of high-tech goods, a category including high-end machine tools and industrial robots, increased by 13% year on year, while exports for electric vehicles, lithium batteries and photovoltaic products, like solar panels, were up 27%.
Instead of seeing exports sink as the US and China ratcheted up tariffs on each other’s goods, China has driven its products deeper into other markets around the world – building on the country’s global economic footprint and strategies Chinese companies developed during Trump’s first trade war.
Exports to regions beyond the US saw significant increases, with the value of goods sent to Africa up 26.5%, Association of Southeast Asian nations up 14%, the European Union up 9% and Latin America up 8% year-on-year.
That’s caused frictions with major trading partners across the world, who have raised concerns about what they see as unfair trade practices and an influx of Chinese products hurting their key domestic industries, impacting jobs and threatening economic security.

Equally as trash as CNN. Did you really think that was a gotcha? How about a link to the actual data and who put that together.
When you link CNN, NY Times, WAPO, AP, aka THE LEFT WING MEDIA, no one believes that shite. Why should we? The last 10 years wasn't enough fake news for you?

This tells me that, even if the numbers are correct, they're temporary. Other countries aren't going to let China crush their domestic industries with product dumping indefinitely.
