الصادرات الصينية إلى أمريكا تتراجع بأكبر وتيرة في 5 سنوات

China's exports to the United States have declined at the fastest pace in over five years, despite the trade truce reached by the world's two largest economies on May 12, which reduced tariffs on each other's imports.

A report by "Bloomberg" showed that the decline in Chinese exports to America reached 34.4% in May, marking the largest drop since February 2020. This offset the impact of an 11% rise in exports to other countries during the same month, leading to a total increase in China's exports that was lower than expected last month, highlighting the weight of the world's largest economy even as Beijing reduces its reliance on direct shipments to the U.S. market following the previous trade war during Trump's first term.

According to official data, China's overall exports rose by 4.8% year-on-year in May to $316 billion, while a growth of 6% was anticipated.

As for imports, they fell by 3.4% in May, continuing their decline for the third consecutive month, which means the country recorded a trade surplus of $103 billion.

However, the overall growth in total exports will continue to support the country's economy, as China recorded a record trade surplus of nearly half a trillion dollars so far this year.

Regarding China's imports from the United States, they fell by more than 18%, according to "Wind Information" data reported by "CNBC," which caused the trade surplus with America to shrink by 41.5% year-on-year to $18 billion.
