According to the latest data from DataTrack, China's import value MoM growth rate in Q3 2026 (August) fell to -1.4%, a wider decline compared to the previous value of -0.7%, marking two consecutive months of contraction. Although driven by AI investments and high-tech component restocking, the YoY growth of imports still reached 28.2%, the cooling monthly momentum highlights the structural imbalance of strong external demand and weak domestic demand. Future attention should be paid to the strength of policy stimulus.
