Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the driving forces behind China's export growth, highlighting that exports to emerging economies are primarily driven by the export of production materials, while exports to non-US developed economies are mainly focused on consumer goods [2][3][4]. Group 1: Export Performance Overview - In the first half of 2025, China's overall exports showed a steady increase, with emerging economies being the core growth engine, contributing 4.7 percentage points to the overall export growth [9][134]. - Exports to non-US developed economies (EU, Japan, UK) provided moderate support, contributing 1.4 percentage points [9][134]. - The export of electronic devices, machinery, and certain consumer goods (toys, mobile phones, jewelry) performed well [9][134]. Group 2: Emerging Economies vs. Non-US Developed Economies - Exports to emerging economies increased by 1.5 percentage points year-on-year to 9.6%, with intermediate goods contributing 2.4 percentage points and capital goods 1.0 percentage points, while consumer goods detracted 3.7 percentage points from overall growth [21][28][135]. - For non-US developed economies, exports rose significantly by 5.5 percentage points to 6.7%, primarily driven by consumer goods, which contributed 2.7 percentage points [28][135]. Group 3: Understanding Export Growth Drivers - The article suggests that about 30% of the current export growth may be attributed to "export grabbing," while 70% is due to changes in external demand and market share [4][68][136]. - The increase in US imports, which surged over 30%, is seen as a potential overestimation of "import grabbing," as the structure of imports does not fully support this narrative [4][68][136]. - China's exports to non-US markets are not merely a result of "transshipment" but are more about supply chain collaboration, where ASEAN countries import production materials from China for further processing [4][46][62][136]. Group 4: Future Export Outlook - The potential for continued export growth remains, as US imports have not yet reached a balance point with demand, indicating room for further increases [76][81]. - Short-term impacts from tariffs may affect exports to ASEAN, potentially dragging down overall export growth by 2 percentage points [90][91]. - Long-term prospects are bolstered by rising investment demand in emerging economies and the ongoing urbanization process, suggesting resilience in exports to these markets [94][107][120].
