China’s foreign trade sector has shown significant growth, with trade in goods rising by 16.9% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year. This expansion brought the total trade value to 25.47 trillion yuan, as revealed by the latest figures.
In June 2026, the country’s imports and exports together amounted to 4.78 trillion yuan. This marks a notable increase of 24.2% over June 2025, highlighting the robust performance of China’s trade activities despite global economic challenges.
The steady growth in China’s trade can largely be attributed to a boost in export demand coupled with heightened import activities. These factors have helped maintain the momentum within the trade sector, even as uncertainties persist in the global economy.
These figures underscore the resilience of China’s trade landscape, showing a strong upward trajectory in both exports and imports. The ongoing increase in trade activities suggests a stable and expanding role for China in international markets.
