Over a thousand billion dollars.
China's trade surplus in the first ten months of this year exceeded one thousand billion dollars, and now there are fears that the tension between this country and its major trading partners, including the European Union, will intensify. The data published on China's export and import situation this year are positive and there is hope for the situation to improve, although the country's economy faces major challenges. China's consumer inflation rate is close to zero percent and the housing sector is still in dire straits. The increase in debt is also a big problem. The International Monetary Fund believes that China's economy will grow by 4.5% this year.
