China's foreign trade volume grew 3.6% year-on-year during the first 10 months of 2025, reaching 37.31 trillion yuan ($5.24 trillion), according to latest customs data released on Friday. The General Administration of Customs reported sustained growth despite global economic headwinds, underscoring the nation's pivotal role in international supply chains.
This steady expansion comes as businesses across the Chinese mainland strengthen cross-border partnerships and optimize trade structures. Analysts suggest the figures reflect improving global demand and China's strategic focus on high-value exports, from electric vehicles to advanced manufacturing equipment.
"The resilience of China's trade ecosystem continues to anchor regional economic stability," stated a customs administration spokesperson. The data arrives as Asian markets watch for signs of shifting trade patterns ahead of key regional summits.
