📈 China’s Export Growth

China's share in global exports has skyrocketed, growing from just 2% in the 1990s to 10% by 2020. This fivefold growth highlights China’s rise as a trade powerhouse. While the U.S. remains ahead with the largest share, the gap is closing fast. This dominance is driven by strong manufacturing, efficient supply chains, and an ecosystem that supports cross-border e-commerce. China’s export prowess is also tightly linked to its thriving digital platforms, enabling access to global markets at unprecedented speeds.
