China’s exports surge in June as US-China tariff deal boosts trade outlook

Posted on July 14, 2025   |  

China’s exports rose 5.8% year-on-year in June, exceeding the 5% forecast.

Imports increased by 1.1%, beating the predicted 0.3% and marking the first import growth of 2025.

Exports reached record highs in 2024, supporting China's slowing economy amid global pressures.

The US-China trade war, driven by former President Trump’s tariffs, has weighed on China's growth.

A framework deal agreed in London last month helped ease trade tensions between Washington and Beijing.

Chinese exports to the US surged 32.4% in June after a decline in the previous month.

China’s economy is projected to grow over 5% in Q2 2025, driven by strong export performance.
