China’s Top Trading Partners
China’s top trading partners in 2023 were the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. These countries accounted for a combined total of $1.7 trillion in trade with China, or about 30% of China’s total trade.
The United States was China’s largest trading partner, with a total trade volume of $688.3 billion. This was followed by Hong Kong ($293.0 billion), Japan ($308.3 billion), South Korea ($328.1 billion), and Vietnam ($260.7 billion).
It is worth noting that China’s trade with the United States has been declining in recent years, while trade with other countries has been growing. This is likely due to the ongoing trade war between the two countries.
