The latest DataTrack data shows that China's international goods trade surplus for the month in Q3 2026 (2026-07-01) was USD 110.301 billion, down from USD 118.823 billion in Q2. Although there is a discrepancy between this data and the figures released by external customs, the main reason for the overall narrowing of the surplus is that the expansion rate of imports exceeded that of exports. Driven by strong global demand for AI hardware and the "front-loading of exports" before the implementation of US and European tariffs, China's foreign trade momentum remains resilient.
