China’s major container ports achieved a 6.9% year‑on‑year gain in container throughput during the first half of 2025, with Jiangsu Port Group handling approximately 12 million TEU and Guangzhou Port recording 12.14 million TEU, up 6% and 3.4% respectively.
This growth underscores the resilience of China’s inland river corridors—especially along the Yangtze and Pearl—where cargo volumes surged by nearly 7%, reflecting continued strength in domestic logistics networks. Although larger than average gains were recorded at inland terminals, coastal ports also contributed solidly to national throughput figures. This steady expansion in container traffic signals sustained industrial activity and export demand, trends whose ripples may be felt in Canada’s trade routes via indirect supply chain impacts.
