Shocking! Gov’t-Led “Purchased Exports” Scheme Fakes China’s $1 Trillion Trade Surplus
.
In 2025, China's economy appeared to make an unexpected recovery. Despite the ongoing trade war with the US, official data revealed a record trade surplus of 1.08 trillion US dollars in the first 11 months of the year. This marked a 10% increase over the same period in 2024. Chinese state media quickly touted this as a sign of the country's "resilient" foreign trade, pointing to steady export growth to ASEAN and the EU, which helped offset a drop in exports to the US.
