China’s exports and imports surged in the first two months of 2025, according to data released on Thursday. Exports rose by 12% year-over-year, while imports grew by 8%, reflecting steady domestic demand.
The export surge was driven by strong demand for Chinese electronics, machinery, and consumer goods. Analysts attribute the growth to improving global economic conditions and China’s competitive pricing in international markets.
“The data suggests that China’s economy is building momentum,” said an economist. “However, future growth could face hurdles due to escalating trade tensions and ongoing supply chain disruptions.”
The trade surplus for January-February stood at 125 billion, up from 110 billion in the same period last year. The figures highlight China’s continued dominance in global trade, despite ongoing geopolitical challenges.
