What happened
China's economy grew 4.5% in the July-September quarter, a figure fueled by robust exports. This growth rate is near the annual target set by Chinese leaders. Separately, the International Monetary Fund trimmed its forecast for China’s 2026 economic growth to 4.5%.

Why it matters
Despite strong export performance, domestic demand in China has weakened due to a yearslong downturn in its property market. The emphasis on exports suggests Beijing is seeking new trade markets to balance trade deficits.
