Think. Is the recordssurpluses a blessing in disguise in an environment when

1)  imports falling which means also materials use is also falling
2)  PMI of larger firms shrinking except 4 the SMEs
3)  EVs r stacking up in EU ports & they r investigating the dumping of solar  panels
4)  EU and US just slapped their tariffs

What does this all mean?  Just like when Gov going to increase petrol tax,  u will see many cars in petrol stations and the petrol sale picked up all of a sudden

EVs unlike petrol which cannot keep 4 very long or easily move to other countries.

OMG!!!

AMDK lickers said  exports soaring 8.6% is BAD!!!

China's GDP expands 5% in H1 (2024)

China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 5 percent year on year in the first half of 2024, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Monday.

China's GDP reached around 61.68 trillion yuan (US$8.65 trillion) in the first half, NBS data showed.

In the second quarter, the country's GDP expanded 4.7 percent year on year, according to the NBS.

"Overall, the national economy has continued to improve in the first half in a stable manner," the NBS said in a statement commenting on the economic performance, citing support from policy incentives, rebound in external demand and development of new quality productive forces.

The second industry expanded 5.8 percent year on year in the first half, outpacing a 3.5-percent increase in primary industry and 4.6 percent in the service sector, according to the NBS.

On a quarterly basis, China's economy expanded 0.7 percent in the second quarter.

Consumption continued to play a major role in driving growth, with final consumption contributing to 60.5 percent of the economic expansion in the first half, contributing 3 percentage points to the GDP growth.

World’s second largest economy grew at a rate of 4.5% compared with the same quarter a year earlier, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The pace of increase was the fastest in a year and beat the 4% rise forecast by analysts polled by Reuters.

China’s consumer economy showed signs of resurgence, with retail sales rising 10.6% in March, representing the biggest jump in almost two years and more than double the forecast rate. During the same month, industrial production also rose 3.9% compared with a year earlier, a five-month high.

China sets modest economic targets as it seeks to bounce back from Covid woes.

“The speed of the recovery has exceeded even our relatively upbeat expectations,” said Julian Evans-Pritchard, head of China economics at Capital Economics, adding that full-year growth could reach 6%, exceeding the government’s official target of about 5%.

How did China go from a poor society, devastated by World WarII & its own civil war by mid-20th century, to number two (2) economy today?.

After decades of economic stagnation setbacks under Communist rule, China began to open itself to international trade & liberalize economy when it established diplomatic & trade relations with U.S. in 1979. 

As its subsequent export growth fueled  growth of manufacturing & urbanization, China rose to be a major global economic power over the next four decades. 

The year China’s export surged in June, customs admin reported Friday & imports shrank, with Chinese companies households becoming more cautious about spending money.


This result was a good news for China, a record monthly trade surplus of over $99 billion.

Fake by CCP,,, investor now are more aware of this CCP gimmick.

then why HSI still flat.

Will b very surprise to see China can recover w/o doing anything about its 185% GDP of private sector credit debts owed to the banks.  This debt is growing larger and larger every year. Japan took more than 2 decades to recover after killing tt private sector debt  in 2000.

China Vows Bigger Fiscal Spending to Boost Consumption coming Year 2025.

Donald Trump's 2025 presidential term could see him further erode the key principles of US economic policy pre-2017, such as free trade and modest budget deficits, as he looks to increase tariffs and slash the corporate tax rate. His proposed trade and tax policies could have an inflationary effect on the US economy, leading to a potential conflict with the Federal Reserve, while his lack of support for military alliances could raise the likelihood of Russian or Chinese aggression.

Trump to reshape the US role on the world stage, making changes that ripple across the international order. When he takes office on 20 January 2025, Trump can again deploy not only the extensive executive authority conferred on the president by past statutes. He can also pursue new legislation to further his radical economic agenda. Trump seems on course to dismantle four pillars of the Washington Consensus that guided US economic policy before his first election in 2017 — relatively free and non-discriminatory trade, open capital markets, modest budget deficits and an independent central bank.

Trump can impose tariffs of any measure, on any country or product through executive orders. During his campaign, he advocated a tariff wall of 10 or 20% on all imports on top of existing bound tariffs against all US trade partners, including those with free trade agreements. He also proposed hiking 2019’s partial 19 per cent tariffs to 60 per cent on all imports from China. Shortly after the election, Trump threatened Mexico and Canada with 25 per cent tariffs on all US imports unless they stop fentanyl exports and illegal emigration. He also threatened BRICS with 100 per cent tariffs if they seek an alternative currency to the US dollar.
