Global trade dynamics are showing signs of strain and strategic shift. On November 7, 2025, several important developments emerged that exporters, importers and trade-strategy professionals should pay attention to.
At EximHub.pro, we track these trends to help businesses stay ahead of risk and opportunity. Below is a curated roundup of today’s major trade-news items.
1. China’s Exports Slip Sharply Amid U.S. Tariff Pressure
Source: Reuters — “China’s exports suffer worst downturn since Feb as tariffs hammer US demand.” Reuters
The People’s Republic of China reported a 1.1 % fall in October exports — the worst drop since February — reversing from an 8.3 % rise in September and missing consensus estimates of 3.0 % growth. Reuters
Why it matters:
- This underlines how sensitive Chinese manufacturing is to U.S. demand and tariffs, and signals stress in global value-chains.
- For exporters in other countries, this may signal shifting sourcing opportunities or competitive pressures.
EximHub Insight:
Businesses that rely on Chinese supply-chains, or compete with Chinese-origin product, should review their cost, risk and diversification strategy.
2. Green-Trade Push: China Urges Removal of Trade Barriers Impacting Energy Transition
Source: Reuters — “China’s vice-premier urges end to trade barriers holding back green transition.” Reuters
Ding Xuexiang, China’s Vice-Premier, called for removing trade barriers hindering the global green-technology transition, emphasising “free flow of quality green products” and “true multilateralism.” Reuters
Why it matters:
- Green-technology trade (solar panels, EV batteries, wind-turbine components) is increasingly subject to both opportunity and regulatory risk.
- Exporters in green tech, clean-energy manufacturing or allied services should assess how this narrative might shift demand or regulatory regimes.
EximHub Insight:
We recommend firms in the green-tech supply-chain review market access, potential tariffs, sourcing risk and strategic positioning — our International Tax & Trade Advisory service can help.

According to NITI Aayog CEO B. V. R. Subrahmanyam, the ongoing trade negotiations between India and the United States may see a breakthrough by the end of November. The talks relate to manufacturing, investment and export duties. Ommcom News+1
Why it matters:

- Importers and supply-chain managers should keep an eye on potential tariff shifts, rules of origin changes and compliance obligations.
