Last month, Chinese goods broke out as companies drove out exports to ensure a fragile tariff truce between Beijing and Washington could benefit by the August tariff deadline.
Reuters said the transportation to the Southeast Asian transit center is particularly powerful.
Businesses on both sides of the Pacific are waiting to see if the world’s two largest economies can reach a consensus on a more durable deal, or again stressing through more than 100% responsibility whether global supply chains will be disrupted again.

Chinese producers face weak demand in the U.S., selling more than $400 billion in goods in the U.S., and their bets and racing cars also hedge, with market share in economies close to their homes.
In June, China’s exports rose 5.8% year-on-year, customs data showed on Monday.
“There are some signs that demand for preloads is starting to gradually weaken,” said Chim Lee, senior analyst at the intelligence department of economist. “While preloads ahead of the August tariff moratorium deadline may continue, freight rates in China and the United States have already begun to decline.”
Trade transfer and reform
“Trade transfer and reforms appear to be continuing, which will attract the attention of policy makers in the United States and other markets,” he added.
In May, it fell 3.4%, and imports rebounded 1.1%. During the afternoon trading break, a series of optimistic data helped the blue-chip CSI300 rise 0.2%, while the Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.4%, its highest level since October.
Analysts and exporters are watching Deal reached agreement with Chinese negotiators in June What will be held is that the earlier agreement reached in May was inspired by a series of export controls that undermined global supply chains in key industries.
U.S. exports to the U.S. rose 32.4% in the month, while in June, the first full month of Chinese goods benefited from U.S. tariffs, although year-on-year growth remained negative.
Meanwhile, outbound goods to the 10-person association of Southeast Asian countries jumped 16.8%.
Exports fell in the second half of the year
China’s trade surplus in June was $114.7 billion, up from $100.22 billion in May.
Customs data show that China’s rare earth exports rose 32% in June from the previous month, suggesting that the process of the agreement reached last month to release metals may have fruit.
But Chinese negotiators will work to get the U.S. tariffs to level so that producers can make profits, analysts said.
“Tariffs may remain high, with Chinese manufacturers facing increasing restrictions on their ability to rapidly expand global market share by cutting prices,” said Zichun Huang, Chinese economist at Capital Economics.
“So we expect export growth to slow down in the coming quarters, which will put economic growth weight,” she added.
Deadline on August 12
Beijing faces a deadline on August 12, reaching a lasting deal with the White House.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to expand his global trade offensive with new tariffs on other partners.
Analysts warn that the measures could indirectly harm Beijing by putting pressure on third countries across professions in Chinese goods.
Trump recently announced a 40% tariff on the United States’ joint cross-professionality through Vietnam, a move that could undermine Chinese manufacturers who want to re-ship and avoid higher responsibilities.
The U.S. president also threatened 10% of allegations against China as a founding member of the BRICS importer, adding further risks to Beijing.
With the support of Chinese soybean importers in June, purchasing power surged from Brazil’s top suppliers to 9.73 million tons in the same month’s record, which Trump slapped at 50% tariffs.
At the same time, our imports of soybeans are only 724,000 tons.
China’s crude oil imports rebounded and reached its highest daily rate since August 2023 after refineries increased operations in Saudi Arabia and Iran. Iron ore imports climbed 8% from May.
