Machinery, EV and Electronics Fuel China Export Growth

[ABS News Service/10.08.2026]

China's exports slowed slightly in July from the month before but still were higher than

forecast thanks to strong demand for high-tech electronics and vehicles, the Associated Press news service reported.

Customs data released Friday showed China's trade surplus narrowed to $112.5 billion from $125.6 billion in June. Exports rose nearly 24 percent in July from a year earlier, compared with a 27 percent increase in June. Imports climbed 27.5 percent year-on-year, but that was lower than June's jump of 36 percent.
