China's exports rise 10.7% in December as tariff threats loom

China's exports surged by 10.7% in December, exceeding expectations. This follows a 6.7% increase in November and a 12.7% rise in October. The trade surplus grew to $104.8 billion, up from $97.4 billion in November. The growth comes as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatens to impose additional tariffs on Chinese goods. He has pledged a 10% tariff on all imports from China, raising concerns about future trade relations. China's strong export performance may impact India. Increased Chinese exports could benefit Indian businesses but may also widen India's trade deficit with China, raising concerns about economic reliance.
