China’s exports surge in June as US-China tariff deal boosts trade outlook
China’s exports rose 5.8% year-on-year in June, exceeding the 5% forecast. Imports increased by 1.1%, beating the predicted 0.3% and marking the first import growth of 2025. Exports reached record highs in 2024, supporting China's slowing economy amid global pressures. The US-China trade war, driven by former President Trump’s tariffs, has weighed on China's growth. A framework deal agreed in London last month helped ease trade tensions between Washington and Beijing.

Chinese exports to the US surged 32.4% in June after a decline in the previous month. China’s economy is projected to grow over 5% in Q2 2025, driven by strong export performance.
