China? exports rebounded in November after an unexpected contraction the previous month, pushing its trade surplus past $1 trillion for the first time, according to data released Monday.
Exports climbed 5.9% from a year earlier in November while imports rose just under 2%.
The customs data released on Monday also showed that shipments to the U.S. ped nearly 29% year-on-year. But as trade with the U.S. weakens, China is diversifying its export markets throughout Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America.
China? exports had contracted just over 1% in October. November? worldwide exports of $330.3 billion exceeded economists?estimates. Imports totaled $218.6 billion for the month.
The nearly $1.08 trillion trade surplus for the first 11 months of this year is a record high, surpassing the $992 billion surplus for all of 2024, based on official data compiled by FactSet.
A year-long trade truce between China and the U.S. was reached at a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in late October in South Korea. The U.S. has lowered its tariffs on China, and China has promised to halt its export controls related to rare earths.
China? factory activity contracted for an eighth straight month in November, according to an official survey, and economists said it was still early to determine whether there was a real rebound in external demand following the U.S.-China trade truce.
With exports still going strong, economists generally expect China to meet its target of around 5% annual growth for this year.
Chinese leaders outlined a focus on advanced manufacturing for the next five years following a high-level meeting in October. It also highlighted the need to boost domestic consumption, which could help address trade imbalances.
A meeting of the ruling Chinese Communist Party? decision-making Politburo was held on Monday, led by Xi, to discuss economic plans for 2026, according to the Xinhua state news agency. It said Chinese leaders reiterated a focus on ?ursuing progress while ensuring stability.? A readout from Xinhua said China needs to better coordinate its domestic economic work in the face of global ?rade struggles.? Businesses and investors are paying close attention to China? annual Central Economic Work Conference, which is expected to take place later this month and could map out economic priorities for the next year in more details.
?rade diversification will remain a long-term strategy for China to fight the trade war and manage external exigencies,?said Chi Lo, Global Market Strategist at BNP Paribas Asset Management.
A s global trade environment is unlikely to last long, as China-U.S. relations ?emain in a stalemate?despite their temporary trade truce, he said.
Still, some economists believe that China will continue to gain export market share in coming years.
Morgan Stanley predicts by 2030, China? market share in global exports will reach 16.5%, up from about 15% currently, fueled by its edge in advanced manufacturing and high-growth sectors such as electric vehicles, robotics and batteries.
?espite persistent trade tensions, continued protectionism, and G20 economies taking up active industrial policies, we believe China will gain more share in the global goods export market,?Morgan Stanley Chief Asia Economist Chetan Ahya said in a recent note.
