China’s trade surplus surged to a record of almost $1.2 trillion (€1.031 trillion) last year, the government said Wednesday, as exports to other countries made up for slowing shipments to the United States in what was a turbulent year of global trade.
Beijing’s exports rose 5.5% in 2025 to $3.77 trillion (€3.6 trillion), but imports for the year were flat at $2.58 trillion (around €2.492 trillion).
