Chinese exports grow 25% in August

Observador8 September 2026 at 09:48

Chinese exports grew 25% in August, a figure that exceeded analysts' forecasts, who had estimated growth of 22%. This result represents exceptional performance for the Chinese economy in the export sector.

The total value of exports reached 345 billion euros in the period under analysis. This significant growth also contributed to an increase in China's trade surplus.

The Chinese export sector benefited from several factors, including advances in artificial intelligence and the fuel crisis. These elements are said to have boosted demand for Chinese products in international markets.

The data reflects the strength of the Chinese export sector in a challenging global economic context, with China managing to maintain and accelerate its growth in foreign sales.

Controversy over Seinfeld at Commedia a La Carte Fest tests the limits of Meo's "Humaniza-te"

The Meo Commedia a La Carte Fest, taking place in Lisbon between October 29 and November 1 at Meo Arena, with Jerry Seinfeld as headliner, is facing a crisis after several artists cancelled their performances due to the controversial positions of the American comedian on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Carolina Deslandes, Bárbara Tinoco, Inês Aires Pereira, the duo Cebola Mole, Pedro Tochas and artist Vhils announced their withdrawal, putting pressure on Meo as sponsor. Communication specialists consulted by +M analyze how the brand should manage this controversy, with José Franco (Corpcom) defending that the brand should not react to media pressure and that sponsoring a cultural event does not imply taking a political position, while Maria Domingas Carvalhosa (Wisdom Consulting) warns that prolonged silence is risky and that Meo's "Humaniza-te" tagline now functions as a reputational contract that demands consistency between what the brand says and what it does.

According to data presented by Ignacio López from GfK at the Forum Edita, the market continues to grow since the pandemic, with increases in the number of copies sold, in prices, in bookstore invoicing, and in time spent on online reading. The "Spanish publishing miracle" thus remains in full force, with all indicators rising consistently.
