AI demand is fueling China’s economy:
Chinese semiconductor exports surged +111% YoY in May, to a record $36 billion.
This marks the largest annual increase in 13 years.
Outbound shipments of computers and parts jumped +66% YoY, to ~$27 billion, the 2nd-largest on record.
This surge was largely price-driven, with Chinese chip export volumes rising +2% over the same period, as global shortages caused by the AI data center buildout pushed semiconductor prices sharply higher.
Together, chips and computers accounted for roughly half of China's total export and import growth in May.
As a result, overall exports rose +19% YoY, while imports soared +27% YoY, leaving a trade surplus of $105.4 billion, the largest since January.
AI infrastructure spending is reshaping the Chinese economy.

Here are 10 prompts to build your own hedge fund at home ↓
Kick off 2026 with AI x Excel skills.
Here is a short overview of 4 tools for modeling I recently tested
1️⃣ Claude
Recently, Claude developed Cladue for Excel, so in Max plan now we can work with this powerful AI model inside Excel and literally build ANYTHING.
2️⃣ Nummo
Unlike AI tools that generate frozen spreadsheets, Nummo builds structurally connected models where every metric knows what it depends on.
The result is deeper logic, more cross-sheet intelligence, and models that evolve reliably as assumptions change.
