Hong Kong, Nov 7 (LaPresse) – China's economy recorded a decline in exports in October, mainly due to a 25% drop in shipments to the United States. Although there is a possibility that the ongoing tensions with Washington could ease in the last quarter of 2025, after US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping agreed last week to relax the trade war between the two largest global economies, the frictions seem to have affected China’s overall exports. Data released today show a 1.1% year-on-year drop in China’s global exports in October 2025, in contrast to the 8.3% increase recorded in September. Imports, on the other hand, rose 1% in October year-on-year, slowing compared to the 7.4% growth recorded in September.
