China’s exports surged 36.3% in September driven by strong global tech demand, especially AI-related chips and electronic components, and a holiday shipping rush, pushing the country towards a record annual trade surplus despite rising tensions with the EU. Imports also grew significantly, with a high trade surplus maintained, supported by easing Sino-US trade tensions and tariff agreements.
