China has reported that its exports jumped 25% in August from a year earlier on strong demand for autos and high-tech goods.
The data showing China's record trade surplus widening further comes just ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s planned meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
That's set for late September, though Beijing has not yet confirmed the exact date for the visit.
China's global imports climbed 28% in August from a year earlier as well.
That led to a $119 billion-U.S.-dollar trade surplus for China, widening from $112 billion dollars in July.
An economist the Dutch bank ING says China has weathered disruptions from the Iran war and higher U.S. tariffs better than many other countries.
It also has been exporting more to Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa, shielding it from the impact of higher U.S. tariffs.
