China’s latest trade figures show modest export recovery but continued weakness in imports

China’s latest trade figures show modest export recovery but continued weakness in imports
China’s latest monthly trade data showed a modest recovery in exports as global demand for electronics, machinery and automotive components improved. Export growth exceeded expectations, supported by stronger shipments to Southeast Asia and selective upticks in U.S. and European orders. However, imports remained subdued, reflecting soft domestic consumption and cautious inventory replenishment among manufacturers. Economists say the uneven trade profile highlights ongoing structural headwinds, including property-sector weakness and slower household spending. 
Analysts caution that geopolitics and diversified supply-chain strategies among global firms may continue to influence China’s trade trajectory in 2025.
