According to official data from the General Administration of Customs (GAC), Chinese exports rose 25% year over year compared to the previous year, while imports increased by 28.2%. This significant growth exceeds Bloomberg's estimates of a 25.9% increase. The situation worsened further compared to last month, when exports were up 23.9%.

This growth was driven by strong international demand for technological products, particularly semiconductors and computer processing hardware. This demand is directly linked to the global boom in artificial intelligence, pushing companies to mass-produce Chinese components. The increase in exports to the United States was particularly marked, with a 34.4% increase compared to the 17% recorded in last month.

These figures were released before an important diplomatic meeting scheduled for Washington between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping. The meeting could have strategic implications for trade relations between China and the United States, which represent the largest market for Chinese products. However, current data shows a positive trend that does not appear to be declining.

During the first quarter of the year, the value of Chinese computer and related exports reached a historical peak, with a 49.4% increase over a six-month period. This result confirms China's ability to maintain a trade surplus despite global market fluctuations. The ability to produce and import advanced technologies remains a key factor for the country's economic stability.

Chinese companies continued to invest massively in the technology sector, anticipating global market needs. This strategic approach allowed them to maintain leadership in computer processing, even in a geopolitical uncertainty context. The demand for AI-related products was the main driver for export growth.

China's international commerce shows interesting resilience, with a constant increase in both exports and imports. This trend suggests that global markets are still very open towards Chinese products, even though there are concerns about relations with the United States. Current data indicate that China's economic growth is still in an expansion phase.

Future developments will depend on how the diplomatic meeting in Washington unfolds and how global markets react to the new figures presented. Chinese companies may react positively or worry depending on international government interpretations. China's commercial situation remains complex and depends on many factors not yet fully clarified.
