TREE NEWS update: Shenzhen’s trade with other BRICS member countries reached 246.89 billion yuan in the first eight months of the year, up 11.5% year-on-year, Shenzhen Customs said on September 11. Exports came to 207.77 billion yuan, up 7.5%, while imports jumped 38.9% to 39.12 billion yuan.
Shenzhen’s Trade with BRICS Members Up 11.5% in First Eight Months
The composition matters more than the headline: import growth running several times faster than export growth points to Shenzhen's role as a consumer of BRICS-origin goods, not just a supplier to those markets. That skew, if sustained, would mark a shift in how one of China's key export hubs is wired into emerging-market trade. The open question is whether the import surge reflects durable demand or a one-off sourcing shift.
