Core Viewpoint - In April 2025, China's exports grew by 8.1% year-on-year, exceeding the 5.8% growth in the first quarter, despite the impact of new U.S. tariffs implemented on April 2 [2][6] Export Performance Analysis - The resilience in exports can be attributed to a 21.0% year-on-year decline in exports to the U.S., which, while significant, was better than expected. Exports to ASEAN, India, Africa, and Latin America saw year-on-year growth rates of 20.8%, 21.7%, 25.3%, and 17.3%, respectively, effectively offsetting the decline [2][8][10] - Major export categories showed mixed results, with labor-intensive products like textiles, bags, clothing, and toys experiencing a combined year-on-year decline of 0.8%. Electronics, particularly mobile phones, were significantly affected by tariffs, with year-on-year declines of 21.4% for phones and 1.7% for automatic data processing equipment. Home appliances and furniture also saw low growth rates of -2.9% and -7.8%, respectively. However, automotive exports increased slightly by 4.4%, surpassing the first quarter's 2.2% [2][12][15][16] Competitive Advantage of Chinese Manufacturing - April's export data highlighted the competitiveness and resilience of "Made in China" products. China's manufacturing sector has both scale and efficiency advantages, as evidenced by its global manufacturing value added share of approximately 31% in 2021, compared to the U.S. at 16% and Japan at 6%. The Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) index shows China ranked second globally in 2021, up from 35th in 1990 [3][17] Caution on Tariff Impact - There is a need for vigilance regarding the impact of tariffs, as the effects may become more pronounced in the coming months. Historical data from 2018 indicates that significant tariff implementations led to delayed impacts on export growth, with a notable decline occurring several months after tariffs were enacted. The April PMI data showed a 4.3-point month-on-month decline in export orders, particularly in textiles, chemicals, and midstream equipment manufacturing, indicating a potential lag in the transmission from orders to delivery [3][18][19] Economic Growth Dynamics - The relationship between growth momentum and stabilization efforts is likened to a seesaw, with current economic conditions suggesting a continued focus on counter-cyclical policies. Despite a strong actual growth rate in the first quarter, nominal growth remains low, with tax revenue and profits from large enterprises showing declines. The government is expected to leverage recent policy measures to stimulate domestic demand and address the ongoing pressures from tariffs [4][20]

后台有留言，讨论关税战对创投行业的影响。中短期内，我觉得会有一些利空的影响。 但是长期，我认为无非就是全球贸易秩序重塑，漂亮国带自己的朋友圈，我们带我们的朋友圈。然后因 为我们是出口为主，所以我们建立自己的贸易圈，难度会比漂亮国大。 大就大呗。我们历史上，近代史上，面临的一个个挑战，就没有小的。 而贸易秩序重塑的过程，有没有可能反而会对我们的创投行业带来一些新的机会。 关于对创投行业的长期影响，我可能没有很强的宏观经济分析的能力，我想分享三个小故事。 （一） 上世纪末，漂亮国时任总统克林顿，邀请我方重新加入 WTO 。 是克林顿真把我们当朋友吗？ nono 为什么没想到？ 因为他们不理解，我们的劳动人民，为了创造美好的明天，而可以承受多少的辛苦， 忍受多少的劳累。 （二） 很多业内传言，这次关税战之后，很快还会有毛衣战，主要针对的就是我国半导体产业。希望以毛衣战 为筹码，逼迫我国对关税战妥协。 没事，我们的半导体产业已经被打压很多年了，不带怕的。 知乎上有很多帖子分享过，湾湾如何用了差不多一两代人的工程师，把湾湾的半导体产业搭建起来，把 半导体的制造从漂亮国抢过来，从日韩抢过来。 我国真正发力自己的半导体产业 ...
