How China’s ancient capital staked a claim to the nation’s fastest export growth

What happened

According to the source, a booming semiconductor industry is helping drive a surge in trade in Xian, one of China's ancient capitals, making it the country's top performer by trade growth among provincial capitals and provincial-level cities for which data is publicly available. The capital of western China's Shaanxi province recorded a 115.5 per cent year-on-year surge in trade during the first nine months of 2026; exports far outpaced imports, climbing 142.1 per cent. The source also states that two product categories drove much of that export growth (the article text is truncated at this point, without naming the categories).
