Export and Import Trends - In May 2025, China's export growth rate was 4.8%, down from 8.1% in April, while import growth was -3.4%, compared to -0.2% previously[4] - Month-on-month, exports decreased by 0.2% in May, and imports fell by 3.0%, both below seasonal levels[7] - The trade surplus slightly increased in May 2025[7] Country-Specific Insights - Exports to the US dropped significantly by 34.5%, while exports to ASEAN and Latin America also slowed to 14.8% and 2.3%, respectively[12] - Exports to other regions increased to 11.8%, up from 10.4% previously, indicating resilience in non-US trade[12] Product-Specific Performance - Agricultural products and labor-intensive goods saw significant declines, while machinery and raw materials remained stable[17] - Integrated circuits and ship exports continued to perform strongly, with automotive exports showing signs of recovery[17] Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - Optimists believe that the decline in May's export growth is temporary, expecting a rebound in June due to reduced tariffs, while pessimists fear a significant drop in orders due to preemptive exports in April[24] - The report suggests that while export momentum may normalize, a drastic decline is unlikely, with potential further decreases in year-on-year comparisons in Q4 due to high base effects[21] Risks and Considerations - Potential risks include judicial friction over tariffs that could lead to further reductions in US tariffs[26]

出口结构上来看： 国别结构上，受抢出口退温影响， 2025 年 5 月美国与东盟、拉美等转口地出口增速均有明显回落，分 别录得 -34.5% 、 14.8% 和 2.3% ，而对其他地区的出口增速则进一步提升至 11.8% （前值 10.4% ）。 商品结构上， 农产品和劳密显著回落，机电和原材料表现相对稳定。机电中集成电路、船舶出口表现持续 较强，汽车升温。 5 月出口数据回落背后的两种极端解读： 报告导读： 5 月出口增速回落，既非前期抢运的透支所致，也不是短暂的波动，而是关税 预期见顶回落后，关税对出口冲击的效果显现。后续出口中枢回落，但仍有韧性。 整体来看： 同比增速上， 2025 年 5 月，美元计价的中国出口增速 4.8% （前值 8.1% ），进口增速 -3.4% （前 值 -0.2% ）。 从环比动能来看， 5 月出口较 4 月环比增速 -0.2% ，低于季节性水平；进口环比增速 -3.0% ，低于季 节性水平。 商品贸易顺差小幅提升。 乐观者认为在超高关税冲击下 4 月出口增速仍有较强表现（ 8.1% ），那么 5 月 14 日关税降温后出口 理应反弹，则 5 月的出口增速回落应解释为出口商 ...
