China's goods trade surplus in Q1 2026 recorded USD 247.477 billion. Although it experienced a seasonal retreat from the previous quarter's high of USD 310.275 billion, it still grew by approximately 4.2% year-on-year. Driven by the surge in exports of green production capacity such as electric vehicles, it effectively offset sluggish domestic demand, pushing the overall current account surplus to a record high for the same period.
