AI Data Insight

In May 2026, the year-over-year (YoY) growth rate of China's general trade imports and exports for the month reached 16.4%, showing a multiple-fold jump compared to 7.3% in April, indicating extremely strong foreign trade momentum. This surge is primarily driven by the global AI infrastructure investment boom, as well as precautionary inventory restocking triggered by overseas buyers' concerns over tariffs and geopolitics. Looking ahead, despite facing potential tariff headwinds from Europe and the US, the core competitiveness of high-tech and electromechanical products will continue to support short-term export resilience.
