Description

China Total Export & Import Values (RMB) is published by the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC). This indicator measures the total value of China's exports and imports during a specific period, serving as an important metric for assessing the country's economic openness, external demand, and trade balance. Growth in total export and import values typically indicates active foreign trade, while a decline may reflect reduced global demand or deteriorating domestic trade conditions.

According to DataTrack, China's total imports and exports in May 2026 reached 4.78 trillion RMB, a significant jump of 7.43% compared to the previous value of 4.45 trillion RMB. Driven by companies' defensive front-loading and strong exports of mechanical, electrical, and green energy products, the trade performance defied pessimistic market consensus. However, facing potential tariff barriers in the US and Europe and concerns over weak domestic demand, foreign trade growth in the second half of the year remains full of challenges.
