“China’s exports to the U.S. plunged 33% in August while overall growth slowed to its weakest in six months, weighed down in part by President Donald Trump’s crackdown on transshipments and as the impact of frontloading exports wanes. Imports from the U.S. also dropped 16% from a year ago, customs data showed. China’s overall exports climbed 4.4% in August in U.S. dollar terms from a year earlier …. China has increasingly relied on alternative markets, particularly Southeast Asia and European Union nations, Africa and Latin America, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policy has pressured U.S.-bound shipments. … The country’s shipment to the European Union bloc, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and Africa surged 10.4%, 22.5% and nearly 26% in August, respectively.” (09/07/25)
