China's trade surplus has reached a record high of $1.2 trillion over the past 12 months, doubling from five years ago despite ongoing U.S. tariffs. The country's manufacturing surplus has also surged to a cumulative $2 trillion, exceeding the largest surpluses previously recorded by Germany and Japan. China's exports of manufactured goods have surpassed the combined exports of the United States, Germany, and Japan, reflecting a strong rebound outside the U.S. market. However, Chinese imports have declined, a trend that mirrors patterns seen during the Trump administration. While China's export growth remains robust, there are concerns about overproduction and financial vulnerabilities within its manufacturing sector, where many companies continue operating at a loss supported by state bank loans. This fragile structure poses risks if credit support diminishes, with potential global economic repercussions.

中国の製造業による輸出は米・独・日の合計を上回る規模に達している。しかし多くの企業は過剰生産により採算割れのまま操業を続け国有銀行からの融資で赤字を補填し延命しているのが実情。この構造は極めて脆弱であり、融資が途絶えれば破綻リスクが一気に顕在化し、世界経済にも深刻な影響を及ぼす。 https://t.co/GspMm2whll
In 2018, President Trump took a bold stand against the CCP’s economic warfare—imposing tariffs on hundreds of billions in Chinese goods. The result? Beijing made commitments it had never agreed to before. But as history shows, the CCP failed to keep its word. 🇨🇳🚫🧵
