🚨🇨🇳📈China’s HUGE $586B Trade Surplus RESHAPING Global Trade

H1 2025 Customs Data Just Dropped – Here’s What You NEED to Know:

✅ RECORD-BREAKING SURPLUS: $586 BILLION—Biggest Ever for First Half

✅ EXPORTS SOAR to $1.8 TRILLION (+5.8% YoY)

✅ IMPORTS FINALLY REBOUND: $1.2T (+1.1% YoY) – First Monthly Growth Since February

🌍 GLOBAL TRADE REALIGNMENT IN MOTION:

🔻 US Demand WEAKENS: Exports to America sink -16.1% YoY (But slightly improve from May’s -34% CRASH post-trade deal)

🔺 ASEAN GAINING MOMENTUM: +17% SPIKE in shipments to Southeast Asia (Filling the US gap)

⚡️WHY THIS MATTERS:

Tariffs & Trade Wars are FORCING China to diversify, which means reliance on the West

ASEAN is the NEW growth engine

US-China tensions STILL weighing down on trade, but recovery signs emerging

> I wouldn’t discard China in comparison to US
I would. Search "tofu dreg" on YouTube to see how well China builds stuff. I'll wait.

@alyx that’s what the standard answer is from people regarding China, the common person, meanwhile they have to make it illegal to import Chinese electric cars to Europe because they can’t compete. And China was first out with 5g tech, many European countries installed 5g from China before Trump said it was a danger.

@BasedLunatic
>they have to make it illegal to import Chinese electric cars to Europe because they can’t compete
Bruh, you're clueless. China gives massive amounts of subsidies to the electric car industry. Much more than US does. The reason Europe can't compete, is because the cost of the cars isn't actually covered by the buyers, it's covered by the communist government. Ever heard of something called unfair competition? China is literally selling cars bellow cost, to destroy European industry. So yeah, you bet your ass we should ban Chinese cars.

>And China was first out with 5g tech
No it wasn't. Not even close. All China does is steal technology, then sell bellow the price of companies who actually did the research and development, thus making those companies unable to recover the costs associated with researching, and ultimately lead them going bankrupt.

Go and learn some shit before you shill for China.

@alyx It’s their capitalist system, there’s no such thing as unfair competition in capitalism. This is cope. Capitalists would sell us poison, and they do even if it kills us, in food, beauty products etc. unfair competition, LMAO seethe and cope. This is dumbest thing I heard ever. It’s all about the money, stupid. Who is the one saying it’s unfair competition, the countries who don’t benefit, so they cope by using a buzzword. Everyone knows capitalism doesn’t have any limits or rules, it’s about global planetary domination and nothing else

@BasedLunatic
China is not a capitalist system, jesus fuck! Yes, selling bellow cost with the express purpose to eliminate your competition is literally illegal. You know jack shit about economy I guess.

@dcc @alyx google is basically owned by intelligence services. All of it. They wouldn't just say this if it's not easily obtainable knowledge that most who have written about it have mentioned. Impossible to hide obvious information in other words. I used Gemini, but I am sure a more independent AI will give you same answer, or just look it up yourself
@BasedLunatic @alyx >They wouldn't just say this
I don't really care what ai says nor what goole says, your appeal to authority is retarded. I just posted a meme that makes your entire argument invalid lol.
@dcc @alyx >appeal to authority
>>factual available information
>>earth is round is appeal to authority
@BasedLunatic @alyx
>>>earth is round is appeal to authority
Non sequitur lol, the fact remains if you think china is anything but socialist you are definitionally wrong.
@dcc You say socialist.

I say - oligarchic de facto capitalist society, masquerading a communist state to appeal to leftists around the world and in the population, to have an excuse to use exceptional violence as a mean to supress revolts, and to hide the fact that the oligarchic government class is in fact a well run machine of international organized crime i.e. a mafia.

@BasedLunatic @alyx
@Godsend @BasedLunatic @alyx >de facto capitalist society,
There is no capitalism if the state can mess with business. Thats just socialism.

@dcc By this definition - isn't even the USA socialist?

At least it was during Covid. Shut down so many business because of dumb vaccination rules.

I call it capitalist because, as long as people don't piss the govt off, they can make insane profits with insane efficiency in China.

To call China "socialist" in the same way that the West has tried socialism is frankly insulting to Chinese ingenuity. They are the only fuqqers on the planet that can make communism/socialism seem to have some appeal. Because they are Chinese - ruthless and market-oriented.

>some people manage to have businesses if they hide well enough from the government, so it's a capitalist system
No. This is a 80 IQ take. Go cope in China if you love the place that much. I'm sure they'll love you.

@alyx I don't love China, I am just being fair. Too many Westerners go to China and make money in manufacturing. It's an easier place to do business in some respects. You sell your soul when it comes to data privacy and IT innovations though.

Your whole conception was an 80 IQ take, GTFOH. @BasedLunatic @dcc
@Godsend @alyx @dcc I don’t love China either, but I see the strengths in manufacturing and their massive industrial base. They got millions and millions people cities were whole city is about industrial manufacturing, all kinds of products. A lot of foreigners settle in those cities, set up a company, instant success
@BasedLunatic You know how hard it is in Canada to have a prototype, and get funding and manufacturing plant permits to build your gadget?

Jeez.

I heard the USA is easier, but not as easy has China.

The problem with China is data sovereignty and national security laws. Chinese people are for the most part a-OK, but that government is a mafia.
