China's Q3 2026 (2026-07-01) export freight volume YoY growth rate fell to -2.25%, a sharp reversal from the previous 7.88%. Despite the contraction in physical freight volume, benefiting from soaring prices of AI chips and servers, the YoY growth rate of total export value during the same period still hit record highs. Market analysis indicates that China's exports have shifted to a "price-driven" model, warning of dual risks ahead from potential US and European tariffs and cooling AI demand.
