China's newly released international trade balance of goods for Q3 2026 fell to 749.713 billion RMB, narrowing from the previous observation (Q2) of 809.828 billion RMB. The shrinking surplus in this period was mainly due to import growth outpacing strong exports, but the export of AI-related tech products and new energy equipment remained stellar. Looking ahead, China is actively addressing tariff pressures from the US and Europe and expanding into emerging markets, as the overall trade structure undergoes reshaping and rebalancing.
