#Economy & #Stocks Review - China Trade Surplus Continues To Grow

E&S Review

Much of today's economic data, including officially collected and produced time series, is highly unreliable. Statisticians use well-documented techniques such as geometric smoothing, seasonal adjustments, substitution, double counting, and hedonic adjustments to modify economic outcomes dating back to the 1980s. Politicians and central bankers often leverage these techniques for political gain.

Data manipulated by these statistical methods are frequently revised without clear notification to the public, especially when administrations or public policies change.

Exports rose 5.5% to $3.77 trillion while imports were flat, helped by growth in autos, electric vehicles, chips, and mechanical and electrical goods. Shipments to Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America all increased, even as exports to the U.S. fell 20%. Economists expect exports to continue supporting China’s economy in 2026, though slower growth, rising trade tensions, and weak domestic demand, dragged down by a prolonged property slump, remain key challenges.
