China Hits Record $1.2 Trillion Trade Surplus.

China achieved a record trade surplus of $1.2 trillion in 2025, a 20% increase driven by expanding its exports to new global markets. This growth was fueled by a 27% surge in shipments of electric vehicles and green technology, alongside a 13% rise in high-tech industrial machinery. While these figures highlight China’s manufacturing resilience, the influx of goods has sparked international concerns regarding industrial overcapacity and potential new trade barriers from global partners.
