Don't just focus on China's record trade surplus of $1.19 trillion last year. Also note that Taiwan's trade surplus with the mainland also reached a historical high - $147.14 billion. The total import and export volume between the two sides broke through the $300 billion mark for the first time last year, reaching $314.33 billion.
It is worth noting that in 2025, the mainland's exports to Taiwan reached $83.597 billion, an increase of 11.2%. That is to say, even though the Taiwanese authorities have strengthened their anti-China and pro-Taiwan policies, they still maintained a huge trade surplus with the mainland, and imports from China also increased by one-tenth. For example, the largest gantry crane in Asia introduced by Kaohsiung last year was made in China.
