EconomyChina’s monthly car exports top 1m for first time as overall trade soars

China’s car exports exceeded one million vehicles in June for the first time. Overseas shipments from the world’s second-largest economy rose 27%, while its broader trade performance proved stronger than expected. Official customs figures indicate that China is on course to match or surpass last year’s record trade surplus of $1tn. The country nevertheless faces the prospect of new tariffs from the US and EU. Those risks come despite Donald Trump’s curtailed tariff war.
