China's total goods exports climbed from about $2.28T in 2015 to a record ~$3.78T in 2025 — roughly +66% across the decade. The line wasn't straight: a soft 2016, a flat 2018–2019, then a sharp post-2020 surge to $3.36T in 2021. The bulk is carried by a handful of coastal provinces. Note: this is a simplified read — annual totals are clearly legible from the source chart; exact per-province values are not, so the province ranking below is qualitative.
Approximate USD totals read from the source stacked-bar chart. The 2020→2021 step is the pandemic-demand surge.
Ranking is qualitative — read from relative band sizes on the source chart, not exact published figures.
Exports jumped from ~$2.59T (2020) to ~$3.36T (2021) as global goods demand spiked. The level held — 2022–2025 all sit above $3.3T, a structurally higher baseline.
Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang plus Shanghai / Shandong / Fujian dominate every year. For sourcing, the coastal cluster is still where the supply base concentrates.
2025 set a record at ~$3.78T, above the prior 2022/2024 peaks — exports stayed resilient through tariff and demand turbulence.
For U.S. importers, the export base is coastal-concentrated — Guangdong / Jiangsu / Zhejiang are where most consolidation, factory pickup and port loading happen. Cube-Age's sourcing arc maps onto this cluster, then lands cargo via the Houston hub. Pair with China export reshuffle (atlas-c54) and Made-in-China clean-tech supply chain (atlas-c45) for the structural picture behind these numbers.
