China's Foreign Trade Surges in Both Scale and Quality Amid Global Shifts
Despite external economic challenges, China's foreign trade has surged in both scale and quality, driven by rapid industrial innovation, green technology exports, and strategic global partnerships.
China’s trade surplus passed $1 trillion in the first 10 months of 2026, according to The Straits Times and RTÉ.

BusinessLine reported that exports in October rose 35%, while CNBC said exports and imports beat expectations and the surplus narrowed sharply that month. The reports did not provide a shared breakdown of the figures.
