In April 2025, China's exports experienced an 8.1% increase compared to the previous year, significantly surpassing the anticipated 1.9% growth projected by market analysts. Despite this strong performance, it represents a notable deceleration from the 12.4% surge observed in March, which was the highest growth rate since the preceding October. This slowdown can largely be attributed to the impact of tariffs imposed by Trump's administration and the prevailing uncertainties in trade negotiations between the US and China.
