China has consistently maintained a trade surplus (exports exceeding imports) from 2020 to the present. In 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, China's exports rose, leading to a surge in its trade surplus, reaching $535 billion. This surplus has continued, with China being the world's largest exporter in 2023, exporting a total of $3.42 trillion.

China's debt-to-nominal GDP ratio is projected to continue rising from 2020 to 2025, driven by government debt and spending, particularly on infrastructure and stimulus. In 2020, the ratio was around 281%, but is expected to reach 96.31% by the end of 2025.

China will continue to maintain its trade balance at lower levels by exporting to its allies like Russia, Iran, North Korea and others who do not trade with the US. China will need to continue to expand its agricultural production to ensure a food supply to its population.
