Bilateral trade between China and North Korea rose by 22% during the first two months of 2026, driven by a diplomatic thaw and the anticipated reopening of cross-border transport routes. Data from the General Administration of Customs indicates that total trade value reached $418.7 million in January and February, compared to the same period last year. Beijing typically combines data for these months to mitigate fluctuations caused by the Lunar New Year holiday.
