Summary
Episode 56 of China Economy with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna examine why China's solar panel exports surged 28% year-over-year in May 2026, even as US tariffs hit 50% on Chinese solar cells. They break down how Chinese manufacturers rerouted through Southeast Asia and Mexico, why module prices fell 12% while volumes rose, and what this means for global renewable energy supply chains. Live data referenced: yuan at 6.76 per dollar, FXI up 0.2% in five days, and KWEB down 2%. A focused look at one industry defying the trade narrative. #ChinaEconomy #SolarExports #TradeWar #RenewableEnergy #SolarPanels #Tariffs #SupplyChain #SoutheastAsia #Mexico #FXI #Yuan #KWEB #CleanEnergy #Manufacturing #GlobalTrade #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
