Additionally, retail sales rebounded from a 3-month low, signaling a recovery in consumer demand. However, the unemployment rate reached a 3-month peak, highlighting persistent labor market challenges despite the overall economic expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strong-trade-performance\"><strong>Strong Trade Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the trade front, China saw a double-digit rise in exports in December, marking the ninth consecutive month of growth and reaching the highest export value in 3 years. This surge was driven by businesses rushing to fulfill shipments ahead of potential tariff hikes under the US Trump administration. Imports also saw an unexpected rise, reaching their highest value in 27 months, suggesting increased domestic demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Read More : <a href=\"https:\/\/otetmarkets.com\/blog\/news\/china-caixin-manufacturing-pmi\/\">China Caixin Manufacturing PMI<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-full-year-growth-and-investment-trends\"><strong>Full-Year Growth and Investment Trends<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the full year, China\u2019s GDP grew by 5.0%, meeting the government&#8217;s 2024 target of around 5% but falling short of the 5.2% growth seen in 2023.
