China Posts Record Trade Surplus Amid Export Boom
China reported a 21.8% year-on-year export surge in January–February 2026, producing a $213.6 billion trade surplus and pushing the year's surplus toward last year's $1.2 trillion level. PBOC Governor Pan Gongsheng denied any intent to devalue the yuan, while Beijing hosted nearly 90 global CEOs at the China Development Forum as high-tech exports—semiconductors and EVs—led growth amid weak domestic demand (manufacturing PMI 49.0).
