China’s exports to the US are surging at a pre-Liberation Day pace, defying Trump’s tariff goals
China's exports to the U.S. saw a significant surge in May, increasing by over 35% year-on-year, the fastest growth since early 2021. This rebound is largely attributed to strong shipments of technology products, including semiconductors and computing equipment, as well as electric vehicles. Analysts suggest this surge is partly due to a base effect following the implementation of tariffs in April 2025, but also reflects the global demand driven by the AI boom and green technology shifts.
