German exports to China fall 13.5%, imports rise 8.3%
Exports to China fell even more sharply than those to the United States, dropping 13.5% year-on-year to 54.7 billion euros in the first eight months of 2025.
By contrast, imports from China rose 8.3% to 108.8 billion euros.
Well, a key feature of a trading partner has always been reliability. Guess why the US fell down the ladder in that regard…
china can’t stop winning! 我爱中国！ :3
The U.S. was Germany’s top trading partner in 2024, ending an eight-year streak for China. The shift came as Germany sought to reduce its reliance on China
Trade dynamics shifted again this year, however, with Donald Trump’s return to the White House and renewed tariffs.
Well done USA, you got what you voted for.
I didn’t vote for this though…
No not everybody did of course, but it was the choice of the people, there is no way around that.
You absolutely have my sympathies if you voted against this insanity, as a “normal” person it must be hell living in a country run by sociopathic morons.
The thing i love about these types of post is Murricans grandstanding about how much better than china they are, while their army is blowing up innocent fishermen on the Caribbean and their Tax dollars are still funding genocide, these people are hopeless.
Germany used to send their car manufacturers to China to do knowledge transfer, they’d surely benefit from some reverse knowledge transfer from the Chinese these days.
