China's exports of vehicles, especially EVs, and other tech-related products have boomed as rapid adoption of AI increases the need for semiconductors and other electronic equipment.

Exports rose 27% while imports climbed 36% in June, with AI-linked electronics helping drive the fastest growth in nearly five years.

China’s customs agency says its exports accelerated in June, jumping 27% from a year earlier, driven by strong demand due to the boom in artificial intelligence.
