China's exports experienced a significant surge in the first two months of the year, growing by 21.8% to $656.58 billion, according to customs data released on Tuesday. This represents a substantial acceleration compared to the growth seen in December and throughout the previous year. Imports also saw a notable increase of 19.8% during the same period. While exports to the United States declined by 11% year-on-year, the US remained China's largest single-country export market in 2025. The overall export growth defied expectations and suggests strong trade momentum for the remainder of the year.
