In November, China's exports grew 6.7% to $312 billion, fueled by strong global demand and frontloaded orders to avoid higher tariffs, suggesting a potential short-lived growth.
BofA Securities analysts noted that despite solid export figures, they expect a 'payback' from frontloading in the upcoming quarters, which could intensify the effects of tariff hikes.
Lynn Song, a Greater China economist, highlighted the stark contrast in China's export performance from last year, marking November's growth as a significant upside surprise for the economy.
China's imports, however, fell short of expectations, increasing less than projected which raises concerns about sustaining growth amid fragile consumer demand and looming tariff threats.
