China’s export growth slumped to its weakest pace<\/a><\/span> in six months as shipments to the US fell rapidly.<\/p>\n

Overseas sales rose 4.4% year-on-year to $322 billion in August, according to the General Administration of Customs on Monday (September 8). This figure fell short of the 5.5% growth forecast.<\/p>\n

Imports increased 1.3%, delivering a $102 billion trade surplus.<\/p>\n

China’s trade is rapidly shifting this year<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump’s tariffs have reduced direct demand from the US and caused companies to seek alternative markets or ship indirectly to the world’s largest economy.<\/p>\n

Exports to the US fell 33% in August, marking the fifth consecutive month of double-digit declines. Meanwhile, shipments to the 10-member Southeast Asian trade bloc rose almost 23%, while exports to the European Union increased 10% and exports to Africa grew 26%.<\/p>\n

Trade surplus continues to grow despite slowdown<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the slowdown, China’s trade surplus continues to easily surpass last year’s record of around $1 trillion, with overseas sales compensating for weak domestic demand.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, falling prices and competition mean that many companies are operating at a loss despite rising export revenues. Industrial profits fell nearly 2% in the period through July.<\/p>\n

China’s new export orders indicator has been at its lowest level for several months, suggesting that external demand will weaken in the coming period.<\/p>\n
