China and the world
China manufactured exports, world share and export-basket share
China A12, world A12 and China total merchandise exports come from the same TradeMatrix version, so both ratios are same-source and same-year calculations.

Product-group structure

Chemicals, machinery and transport equipment, and other manufactured goods close to the A12 total. This is a product classification, not a classification by firms’ industries.

Product scope
SITC sections 5–8, excluding 667 and 68
A12 is broader than high-technology products but narrower than all merchandise exports; precious stones and non-ferrous metals are excluded.
Reporter economies
Customs territories are separate and re-exports affect rankings
Hong Kong SAR is a separate reporter and its exports include substantial re-exports. Rankings measure gross exports, not local production or domestic value added.
Price basis
Current US dollars are not an export-volume index
Long-run value changes combine quantities, prices and exchange rates and cannot be read directly as changes in real trade volume.
