China's massive $1.2 trillion trade surplus exposes a broken economic model that dumps cheap goods on the world while refusing to boost domestic consumption. The flood of exports is damaging industries across the globe and triggering justified alarm about unfair trade practices. Beijing's reliance on exports rather than addressing its property crisis and weak consumer demand proves that the economy remains fundamentally imbalanced.
China's record trade performance demonstrates remarkable economic resilience and smart diversification that successfully offset tariff pressures. Strong global demand for Chinese technology, vehicles and industrial goods reflects genuine competitiveness, not dumping. The export surge proves Beijing's industrial depth and policy support are working effectively despite external headwinds.
