China’s exports beat expectations in June, while imports rebound for the first time this year
CHINA, JUL 14 – China's exports grew 5.8% in June as a temporary tariff truce with the U.S. and expanded shipments to Southeast Asia and the EU helped offset declines in U.S.-bound goods.
- China's overall exports rose 5.8% year-on-year in June 2025, while imports grew 1.1% for the first time this year amid a tariff reprieve.
- The increase in exports was supported by a short-lived agreement to pause tariffs between China and the United States, which helped slow the previous sharp drop in shipments to the U.S. market.
- Exports to ASEAN countries jumped 14.3% in H1 2025, with robust shipments also rising to Europe and Africa, though U.S. exports fell 9.9% in renminbi terms.
- Yuhan Zhang said China expanded shipments beyond the U.S., while Zichun Huang warned tariffs and market constraints pose headwinds for manufacturers.
- Strong exports helped offset weak domestic demand from a sluggish economy, keeping GDP growth near the 5% government target but with risks if stimulus does not increase.
