Summary
China's trade surplus with the US is narrowing, but exports of goods and services hit a record $3.5 trillion in 2025. Lucas and Luna unpack the latest trade balance data, the yuan at 6.79, and how Chinese companies like Alibaba and Pinduoduo are navigating a shifting global landscape. They explore whether Beijing's policy of managed depreciation and currency swaps is still working, and what the widening US trade deficit means for Asia-Pacific markets. With China's EV and solar exports facing new tariffs, the hosts ask: is China exporting deflation or adapting to a multipolar trade order? A focused look at the numbers behind the headlines. #ChinaEconomy #USTradeDeficit #Yuan #TradeBalance #Exports #Alibaba #Pinduoduo #BeijingPolicy #AsiaMarkets #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradeWar #CurrencySwaps #Deflation #SolarExports #EVTariffs #GlobalTrade Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
