The government's statistics office, Destatis, published corrected data on Wednesday showing a total trade volume with China of €185.9 billion (roughly $215 billion) between January and September. That's an increase of 0.6% compared to the same period last year.
Meanwhile, trade with the US was down 3.9% compared to the first nine months of 2024, standing at €184.7 billion. China had usurped the US as Germany's largest trade partner in 2016 and then stayed there consistently, until it lost the top spot last year.
