German exports to China fall 13.5%, imports rise 8.3%
Exports to China fell even more sharply than those to the United States, dropping 13.5% year-on-year to 54.7 billion euros in the first eight months of 2025.
By contrast, imports from China rose 8.3% to 108.8 billion euros.
i agree in that regard, nordstream was really bugging america and they could foresee this happening if germany and russia ever cut their business relations.
but in context to the “china is winning” meme it’s funny to observe how america constantly shoots itself in the foot for fringe ideological reasons despite the fact everyone and their grandma could foresee the consequences
