China's goods and services surplus jumped significantly to $822.442 billion in 2025, surging over 50% from the previous value of $538.958 billion to set a new historical record. Driven by the dual boost of strong growth in goods exports and a narrowing services trade deficit, the overall balance of payments surplus performed remarkably well. However, it also highlights the structural concerns of weak domestic demand and high reliance on external markets.
