Washington's tariff walls couldn't hold back the tide. China's trade surplus surged to a staggering $1.2 trillion in 2025, setting a new historical benchmark despite intensifying trade friction with the United States.
Analyzing the 2025 China Trade Surplus Record
According to official government data released this Wednesday, the record-breaking figures highlight a strategic shift in global commerce.

As reported by Reuters, this diversification strategy has effectively cushioned the impact of bilateral tensions. The data suggests that China remains the indispensable factory of the world, even as supply chains attempt to decouple.
