China remains Vietnam's largest trading partner: in the first nine months of 2026, bilateral trade reached USD 253.1 billion, up 37.6%, including exports to China of USD 65.8 billion (up 32.9%) and imports of USD 187.3 billion (up 39.3%). As trade flows grow, businesses are paying more attention to payment methods that help control costs and limit exchange-rate risk, and the yuan has risen about 4.6% against the USD and about 3% against the VND since the start of 2026. The article also highlights smart border gate projects such as Móng Cái - Đông Hưng and Hữu Nghị - Hữu Nghị Quan, which aim to cut customs clearance to 4-6 hours and reduce costs by 30-40%. To support businesses, ACB is offering exchange-rate preferences of up to VND 30 per CNY on both buying and selling until 31 December 2026, alongside cross-border payment, trade finance and document support services.

- China GDP beats forecasts as export boom offsets weak demand
China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.5 percent, beating the 4.4 percent forecast and rebounding from three-year lows, while the first nine months expanded 4.6 percent. Booming exports, which rose by more than a third, offset weak consumer spending and a prolonged property downturn, with retail sales up 1.1 percent in September and fixed-asset investment down 7.2 percent in January-September. Analysts expect China to meet its 2026 growth target of 4.5 to 5.0 percent without extra stimulus, and its trade surplus is on track to surpass last year's US$1.2 trillion. Economists warned that dependence on exports and weak domestic demand remain concerns, with Societe Generale's Michelle Lam saying a shift toward household incomes and consumption is needed. The yuan strengthened to its highest since July 2022 after the data.
- China GDP beats forecasts as export boom offsets weak demand
China's GDP grew 4.5% in the third quarter, beating economists' 4.4% forecast and rebounding from three-year lows, while growth for the first nine months reached 4.6%. Analysts expect China to meet its 4.5% to 5.0% 2026 target without additional stimulus. Exports rose by more than a third and the trade surplus is on track to surpass last year's US$1.2 trillion, but retail sales (up 1.1% in September) continue to lag industrial output and fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% over January–September. Economists warn that reliance on exports and weak domestic demand leave the recovery uneven, and the yuan strengthened to its highest level since July 2022.
- Global Market: China yuan hits four-year high on export strength, weak dollar
- Yuan at 4-year high still not expensive enough to curb China's export machine
The yuan has hit its strongest level against the USD in four years, yet China's trade surplus is on track to break the 2025 record of 1,200 billion USD. The article argues that the nominal gain has not erased the price advantage built up through domestic deflation, as the yuan's real effective exchange rate (REER) remains about 15% weaker than four years ago. The REER fell 19% from April 2022 to June 2025, and the IMF estimated the yuan was undervalued by 12-21% in 2025. Weak domestic demand, with fixed-asset investment down 7.2% in nine months, pushes goods abroad: exports rose 36.3% in September, the monthly surplus reached 133.5 billion USD, and the nine-month surplus totalled 938.1 billion USD. AI-related high-tech goods and autos are now driving growth and are less sensitive to exchange rates, while exports to the US rose 39.6% from a low base last year.
- A closer look at China currency and what really drives the country export strength -- Beijing Review
On October 8, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) issued a document on the renminbi exchange rate, rejecting claims that the currency is deliberately undervalued to gain an export advantage. China's trade growth accelerated to 15.3% in the first quarter, 18.3% in the second and 22.3% in the third, the fastest for the same period in five years, with equipment manufacturing driving nearly 90% of export growth. Exports of integrated circuits rose 99.1%, electric vehicles 72.3%, lithium-ion batteries 36.4% and wind turbine parts 22.4%. Experts attribute China's competitiveness to technology, quality and logistics rather than price, and the article cites PBOC data showing China's export share rising in periods when the RMB appreciated, suggesting the exchange rate alone cannot explain export performance.
- China growth picks up as exports surge , consumers remain cautious
China's economy grew 4.5% in the third quarter, beating the 4.4% forecast and rebounding from three-year lows, as a surge in exports offset weak consumer spending and a prolonged property downturn. GDP grew 4.6% in the first nine months, and analysts expect Beijing to meet its 4.5% to 5.0% growth target for 2026 without extra stimulus. Growth remains uneven: retail sales rose just 1.1% against 5.5% industrial output growth, fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% in January–September, and unemployment eased to 5.2% in September. Exports rose more than a third and China may surpass last year's US$1.2 trillion trade surplus, but economists warn of dependence on overseas demand and weak domestic consumption. The yuan hit its strongest level since July 2022 after the data.
