🇨🇳 Chinese Exports Rose In August Despite Growing Trade Barriers China’s exports in August surged by 8.7% compared to the same period last year, surpassing expectations despite increasing trade barriers. This growth, reported by the General Administration of Customs, marks the fastest on-year increase in 17 months. The rise in shipments, driven by strong outbound volumes, provides some relief to Beijing as it strives to boost domestic demand and revive its sluggish economy. Notably, exports to the U.S., China’s second-largest trade partner, grew by 13.4% in August, up from 8.0% in July. However, the resilience of China’s exports faces challenges from rising trade tensions and a weakening U.S. economy. John S.

This situation underscores the vulnerability of global supply chains to extreme weather conditions. John S.
