China is no longer the most important trading partner for Germany. In the first quarter, the USA surpassed the People’s Republic, according to calculations by the news agency Reuters based on official data from the Federal Statistical Office. The trade volume with the United States – including both exports and imports – from January to March amounted to just over 63 billion euros. Trade with China was significantly lower at nearly 60 billion euros. In 2023, the People’s Republic remained the number one trading partner for the eighth consecutive year, but with only a few hundred million euros ahead of the USA.
