On December 8, The Times of India published an article headlined, "Amid US tariff farces, China scores trillion-dollar trade victory."
The article notes that trade data released by China show that China's trade surplus has surpassed the $1 trillion mark in the first 11 months of this year.
This is undoubtedly a compelling response to US efforts to curb China's manufacturing potential and growth momentum. This fact demonstrates that China has further cemented its status as a "manufacturing power."
This significant achievement was achieved despite ongoing pressure from US tariff policy. Chinese manufacturers demonstrated remarkable resilience, reducing their dependence on the US market and actively diversifying their sales markets.
According to the latest data, China's exports to the US fell by nearly 29% year-on-year in November 2025, marking the eighth consecutive month of decline. However, China managed to offset the decline in US exports with significant growth in exports to the EU, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa.
The scale of this surplus has stunned economists and policymakers, especially given the ongoing pressure of US tariffs on China. At $1.076 trillion in 2025, China's surplus has surpassed the record of $992 billion set last year under relatively favorable conditions. This underscores the resilience and reach of China's export opportunities in the face of trade tensions and tariff barriers.
China's steadily growing trade surplus is largely due to the restructuring of its export markets. This structural transformation could have a profound impact on the future architecture of global production. Its massive trade surplus has also provided China with significant room for macroeconomic cushioning. China's dominant position in global trade is so significant that even the American media is forced to express admiration.
