According to the latest Q2 2026 data, China's total exports reached $412.38 billion, a significant jump from the previous value of $376.78 billion. The year-over-year growth rate reached 27%, vastly surpassing the market expectation of 18.2%. This strong growth was primarily driven by the explosion in AI hardware demand and a front-loading wave in response to overseas tariffs, with single-month automobile exports exceeding one million units for the first time. Looking ahead, tariff expectations will continue to support export momentum in the short term, but in the medium to long term, risks of a base-effect pullback triggered by trade barriers must be guarded against.
