China Trade Surplus Hits Record High of $1.2 Trillion in 2025
China's trade surplus has surged to a historic record of $1.2 trillion over the last 12 months, marking the highest goods trade surplus ever recorded globally.
The surplus reflects China's massive export strength, with exports reaching unprecedented levels, especially in high-tech goods, machinery, and rare earth materials.
Major trade partners include ASEAN countries, the EU, Japan, and South Korea. However, exports to the US have declined notably due to tariff pressures.
The record surplus underscores China’s dominance in global manufacturing and export markets, outpacing traditional powerhouses like Germany, Japan, and the US.
