Core Viewpoint - The divergence between intuition and data regarding China's export growth is attributed to the continuous drag from export prices and exchange rates, which affects the dollar-denominated export growth and global share of China's exports. Excluding these factors, the quantity of China's exports as a share of global exports continues to rise, contributing significantly to GDP growth [1][3][14]. Export Growth Analysis - The WTO data indicates that only in 2024 did China's dollar-denominated exports grow faster than the global average, while in 2022, 2023, and the first three quarters of 2025, China's export growth lagged behind the global rate [2][14]. - From 2015 to 2019, China's export share of global exports remained stable at around 13%. From 2020 to the first three quarters of 2025, this share slightly increased but fluctuated between 14% and 15%. The peak was in 2021 at 14.9%, with subsequent years showing lower shares [2][14]. Factors Influencing Export Quantity Share - China's export quantity share increased from 13.2% in 2019 to 17.0% in the first three quarters of 2025, driven by three main factors: 1. Accelerated industrial transformation and an increase in high-value-added product exports. Labor-intensive and raw material-intensive exports decreased from 18.43% and 5.13% in 2019 to 13.67% and 4.09% respectively by 2025, while capital-intensive exports rose from 56.80% to 62.97% [4][16]. 2. Continuous decline in export product prices due to a "strong supply, weak demand" environment, with a cumulative price drop of 10.1% from 2023 to 2025 [4][16]. 3. Expansion into new markets through the Belt and Road Initiative, which mitigated external shocks. Key trading partners like ASEAN, Africa, and India saw increased export shares, while traditional partners like the US and EU saw declines [5][18]. Future Export Trends - Future predictions indicate that China's export quantity share will continue to rise due to several factors: 1. The ongoing support for technology and industrial transformation as highlighted in the recent party congress [6][19]. 2. Limited likelihood of significant increases in export prices in the short term due to the absence of large-scale capacity reductions [6][19]. 3. Potential improvements in the external environment, leading to increased shares in emerging markets [6][19]. Price Factors and Currency Exchange - Price factors that have negatively impacted exports are expected to gradually weaken. The absolute level of export prices has limited room for further decline due to: 1. Trade friction risks that may restrict price reductions [7][20]. 2. Government policies aimed at stabilizing export prices and encouraging industrial upgrades [7][20]. 3. The linkage between domestic and export prices, which limits the incentive for further price cuts [7][20]. - The RMB's exchange rate is a significant factor affecting exports. Since 2022, despite a growing trade surplus, the RMB's effective exchange rate has declined by 16.12% [10][23]. Future expectations suggest a stable or rising RMB due to resilient exports and limited short-term dollar appreciation [10][23]. Long-term Export Share Projections - Estimates suggest that from 2026 onwards, China's global export share will continue to recover, potentially reaching around 17% by 2030, indicating a more than 2% increase from current levels [12][25].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the divergence between intuition and data regarding China's export growth, highlighting that while exports are traditionally seen as a key driver of economic growth, recent data shows a decline in China's export growth compared to global averages [1][2]. Group 1: Export Growth Analysis - According to WTO data, only in 2024 did China's export growth in USD terms exceed the global average over the past four years, with lower growth rates observed in 2022, 2023, and the first three quarters of 2025 [1]. - China's share of global exports has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 14% and 15% from 2020 to the first three quarters of 2025, with a peak of 14.9% in 2021 [1][2]. - The actual effectiveness of China's exports as a GDP driver is masked by price and exchange rate factors, but when these are adjusted for, the quantity of exports as a share of global totals has been increasing [2][3]. Group 2: Factors Influencing Export Performance - The increase in China's export quantity share from 13.2% in 2019 to 17.0% by the first three quarters of 2025 is attributed to three main factors: accelerated industrial upgrading, declining export prices, and the diversification of markets through the Belt and Road Initiative [3][4]. - The share of high-value-added products in China's exports has risen, with capital-intensive goods increasing from 56.80% in 2019 to 62.97% in 2025, while labor-intensive and raw material exports have decreased [3]. - The prices of Chinese export products have been declining, with a cumulative drop of 10.1% in export prices from 2023 to 2025, reflecting a "strong supply, weak demand" environment [3][4]. Group 3: Market Diversification and Future Outlook - The Belt and Road Initiative has successfully opened new markets, with significant increases in export shares to ASEAN, Africa, Russia, India, and Mexico, while shares to the US and EU have decreased [4][5]. - Future predictions indicate that China's export quantity share will continue to rise due to ongoing industrial upgrades, stable export prices, and improved external conditions [5][6]. - The potential for further increases in China's global export share is estimated to be around 2 percentage points by 2030, suggesting continued resilience in export growth [11].
