China’s digital economy exports reached record levels in 2025, driven by strong growth in telecommunications, computer, and information services. Official data shows digital services trade exceeded 800 billion yuan, reflecting rapid expansion in global demand for technology-based services.
Major Chinese technology companies including Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance accelerated overseas expansion through AI services, live-streaming platforms, e-commerce solutions, and cloud infrastructure across multiple regions.
Experts say the growth in digital services has significantly improved China’s services trade balance, with the digital trade surplus more than doubling in 2025, signaling a shift toward higher-value exports in the global digital economy.
