In related developments, China has maintained open lines of communication with the United States Department of Commerce, responding to US President Donald Trump’s recent remarks that Washington may reach a new trade agreement with Beijing. The Ministry of Commerce emphasized that ongoing dialogue is crucial for resolving trade issues and enhancing cooperation between the two nations.
China’s foreign trade has experienced significant growth in the first months of 2025, with both exports and imports rising sharply. The General Administration of Customs reported that exports, particularly in high-tech products and consumer goods, saw substantial increases. This has led to a widening trade surplus. The expansion is also attributed to China’s strategic partnerships under the Belt and Road Initiative and regional trade agreements, which continue to bolster trade. Experts predict steady growth in the coming months as China diversifies its trade partners and adapts to shifting global demand.
