Chinese media, citing information from Nanning Customs, reported that the total import–export value of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2025 reached 819.26 billion yuan, up 8.4% year on year. Of this total, Guangxi’s trade with ASEAN amounted to 429.22 billion yuan, an increase of 8%, accounting for half of the region’s total import–export value; trade with Viet Nam alone exceeded 300 billion yuan for the first time.

As a result, in 2025, Guangxi’s foreign trade maintained stable and positive growth, with a growth rate 4.6 percentage points higher than China’s overall foreign trade growth rate.

Amid increasingly deepened China–ASEAN regional economic integration, Guangxi’s import–export trade with ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, and Myanmar all recorded growth of more than 40%.

At the same time, Guangxi achieved notable results in market diversification, with import–export turnover with Latin America, the Middle East, and the European Union reaching 121.95 billion yuan, 51.1 billion yuan, and 28.15 billion yuan, respectively, representing year-on-year increases of 27.4%, 21.6%, and 46.3%.

According to Nanning Customs, Guangxi’s international trade exchanges have demonstrated strong resilience, while also benefiting from the continued development of the “border economy +” model and the rapid transformation into a “manufacturing hub”.

In 2025, Guangxi’s comprehensive trade continued to play an important role as a “cornerstone”, with import–export turnover reaching 380.7 billion yuan, up 10.7%. Processing trade and bonded logistics accounted for more than 40% of the total turnover, showing significant growth and effectively supporting the stability of industrial and supply chains.

Border trade has been playing a distinctive role, with the model of “border trade + local processing” developing strongly. The value of goods imported through border trade and processed locally reached 14.58 billion yuan, an increase of 34.8%, bringing benefits to 1.823 million border residents.
