China's economy driven by exports: Challenges in the domestic market persist

China's economy advances on the strength of exports: Challenges in the domestic market persist

In the third quarter of 2026, China's economy exceeded forecasts, reaching a growth rate of 4.5 percent. This rise is attributed to the strengthening of the country's position in international markets and an increase in export performance.

The revitalization observed in the industrial production and retail sectors during September surpassed expectations. The acceleration of exports once again proves how crucial China's manufacturing power is for the global economy.

However, serious problems still remain in the internal structure of China's economy. In particular, the real estate market and weak consumer purchasing power pose a threat to long-term economic stability.

According to experts, an economic development model relying solely on exports is not sufficient to overcome domestic shortcomings. The stagnation in the property sector and the population's cautious spending behavior may prompt the government to prepare new support programs.

International investors are closely monitoring China's next steps. How the balance between domestic and external factors is established in the country's economic policy will directly impact the future development of world markets.
