Secondary sourcing: China Customs (GAC) figures were not read from the GAC release itself but from sites quoting it. Country values from chinadata.live; ASEAN ($1,055bn) and EU ($828bn) totals and growth rates match RsA's 'China's Trade 2025' (14 Jan 2026) citing GAC. Bloc totals are sums of members (derived). ASEAN and the EU are groupings; other rows are single economies, and Vietnam etc. are inside ASEAN. 2024 comparisons (ASEAN $982bn, EU $786bn, US $688bn) from RsA 'China's Trade 2024' citing GAC. BOFIT (Bank of Finland) confirms direction: exports to the US −20%, to ASEAN +13% in 2025. Some goods shipped to ASEAN end up in the US or EU.
