German trade with China in April unaffected by COVID-19 lockdowns, imports up 52.8% , exports down 1.5%

June 13, 2022

BERLIN, June 13 (Reuters) - German trade with China in April was little affected by COVID-19 lockdowns and consequent disarray in supply chains, the Federal Statistics Office said on Monday.

Germany imported goods worth 16.7 billion euros ($17.5 billion) from China in April, up 52.8% on a year earlier, said the statistics office. Importation of chemical products, up six-fold, particularly drove the increase, but other product groups also rose considerably.

Exports to China in April, on the other hand, were down 1.5% from a year before at 8.3 billion euros, according to the office.

"German foreign trade in April 2022 was still largely unaffected by the Covid-19 lockdowns in the People's Republic of China and the related disruptions in freight transport," it said.

Imports from Russia also rose sharply for a second consecutive month since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, growing by 41.9% to 3.7 billion euros in April, said the office.

Crude oil and natural gas were the most important import goods from Russia, growing in value terms by 37.8% to 2.2 billion euros, said the office.

"The increases in the value of imports are mainly due to the higher prices – especially in the energy sector," said the office, which added that the volume of goods imported from Russia in April was down 26.1% on a year earlier.

They can buy nothing from it. That is what matters. You cant eat money, cant fly with money. Since China backstabbes them, they bleed out.


And its just beginning. World breaks up in blocks again. Free nations on one side tyranny on other.

China is Russia's biggest trading partner by a large margin, why Russia can buy nothing with the money? they buy most things from China like the rest of the world.

Good luck selling them airbus and boeing planes or VW and Mercedes.


Biggest trade partner btw was EU. All that breaks away now and Russia has no alternative. Its cut off from Europe and this will last decades. It lost 15% in its gdp in 3 months. Biggest drop in history.


China can be happy. You got new colony and russia has no alternative

EU is the entity and federation like USA witz parliament and laws that stand above memberstates and Russia is cut off from it. Even most retarded ones know that this is a death sentence for Russia. Its a dead end for them. Crazy when you think about it. Russia is a european country and has no trade or travel with Europe left. And this will last decades. Xi was smart to keep out of this freakshow.

Greece is nothing in our category, China's overall trade with the world is just booming, what cares about Greece, a tiny hole with GDP less than a fraction of Beijing city's.
