China's trade surplus reached $1,180.16 billion in 2025, surging significantly from $992.58 billion in 2024, surpassing the trillion-dollar mark for the first time and setting a new historical high.

Going forward, close attention should be paid to the potential impact of escalating trade barriers from Europe and the US on export momentum.
