China's exports surged 25% year-on-year in August in U.S. dollar terms, matching forecasts and buoyed by strong global demand for high-tech and AI products. The acceleration follows a 23.9% increase in July, masking persistent weakness in domestic consumption and investment at home. Policymakers continue to rely on foreign shipments to support an economy pursuing a 4.5%-5% GDP growth target this year.
