- The importance of international trade to China’s economy has declined since the mid-2000s, driven by relative price changes and the economy outgrowing international trade.
- China’s real overall imports started to lag total final expenditure in around 2015, due to a sluggish processing sector. But “normal” imports used in the domestic economy have continued to grow, broadly in line with domestic demand.
- Nonetheless, some countries have done much better than others exporting to China. The North American share of imports to China has fallen amid the US-China trade war. And while Europe’s – and in particular Germany’s – share has risen since 2007, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have fallen amid sluggish processing trade. ASEAN’s has also risen, with Vietnam’s share having surged.
