China had a record $1.2 trillion trade surplus in 2025, as exports rose 6.6% in December

China had a record $1.2 trillion trade surplus in 2025, as exports rose 6.6% in December


HONG KONG — China’s trade surplus surged to a record of almost $1.2 trillion in 2025, the government said Wednesday, as exports to other countries made up for slowing shipments to the United States.

China’s exports rose 5.5% for the whole of last year to $3.77 trillion, customs data showed, while imports flatlined at $2.58 trillion. The 2024 trade surplus was $992 billion.

In December, China’s exports climbed 6.6% from the year before in dollar terms, better than economists’ estimates and higher than November’s 5.9% year-on-year increase. Imports in December were up 5.7% year-on-year, compared to November’s 1.9%.

China’s trade surplus surpassed the $1 trillion mark for the first time in November, when the trade surplus reached $1.08 trillion in the first 11 months of last year.

Economists expect exports will continue to support China’s economy this year, despite trade friction and geopolitical tensions.

“We continue to expect exports to act as a big growth driver in 2026,” said Jacqueline Rong, chief China economist at BNP Paribas.

While China’s exports to the U.S. have fallen sharply for most of last year since President Donald Trump returned to office and escalated his trade war with the world’s second-largest economy, that decline has been largely offset by shipments to other markets in South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and Europe.

Strong global demand for computer chips and other devices and the materials needed to make them were among categories that supported China’s exports, analysts said.

China’s strong exports have helped keep its economy growing at an annual rate close to its official target of about 5%. But that has triggered alarm in countries that fear a flood of cheap imports are damaging local industries.

China faces a “severe and complex” external trade environment in 2026, Wang Jun, vice minister of China’s customs administration, told reporters in Beijing. But he said China’s “foreign trade fundamentals remain solid.”

The head of the International Monetary Fund last month called for China to fix its economic imbalances and speed up its shift from reliance on exports by boosting domestic demand and investment.

A prolonged property downturn in China after the authorities cracked down on excessive borrowing, triggering defaults by many developers, is still weighing on consumer confidence and domestic demand.

China’s leaders have made increasing spending by consumers and businesses a focus of economic policy, but actions taken so far have had a limited impact.

One of its main strategies has been to pay subsidies to encourage people to discard old appliances and vehicles and replace them with newer, more energy efficient models.

“We expect domestic demand growth to stay tepid,” said Rong of BNP Paribas. “In fact, the policy boost to domestic demand looks weaker than last year — in particular the fiscal subsidy program for consumer goods.”

Gary Ng, a senior economist at French investment bank Natixis, forecasts that China’s exports will grow about 3% in 2026, less than the 5.5% growth in 2025. With slow import growth, he expects China’s trade surplus to remain above $1 trillion this year.

Dolly Parton Releasing New Collab With Reba, Lainey + More

Dolly Parton Releasing New Collab With Reba, Lainey + More


Dolly Parton fans have been hoping for new music from the country legend in 2026, and they’re getting it…well, sort of.

On Tuesday (Jan. 13), Parton announced a new version of her classic ballad “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” due out on Friday (Jan. 16.)

She embraced the song’s message of hope and courage in her announcement, sharing an image of herself with a guitar slung across her back, watching the sun come up over a mountain range.

But Parton’s not embarking on this new musical chapter alone. She enlisted an all-star, all-female cast to join her.

The new version of “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” will feature Reba McEntire, Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus and Queen Latifah.

All four are artists that Parton’s worked with in the past in different areas of her professional and personal life.

What Is the Story Behind Dolly Parton’s “Light of a Clear Blue Morning”?

Parton originally released the song in 1977 as part of her New Harvest…First Gathering album. It deals with imagery of watching the sun break through after a dark, difficult night, bringing rejuvenation and hope for a bright day ahead.

It’s a very meaningful song to her. According to Parton’s website, she considers “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” as “her song of deliverance,” and it represents her musical epiphany that “when the Lord has set you free ‘Ye are free indeed.'”

Parton wrote “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” while driving home after one of her final business meetings with Porter Wagoner, the singer’s musical and business partner for much of her early career.

She parted ways with Wagoner in 1974 to focus on her solo career and famously wrote “I Will Always Love You” as her parting message to him. By contrast, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” was a look toward a more hopeful future after a difficult personal break.

How Does Dolly Parton Know Her New “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” Collaborators?

Each one represents an important, joyful aspect of Parton’s career as a solo artist and as a woman in the music industry.

Of course, McEntire and Parton have towering parallel careers in country music; McEntire idolized Parton as a young musical hopeful and broke into stardom some 10 years after Parton did.

Shockingly, they never recorded together until 2021 (a new version of Parton and Linda Davis’ “Does He Love You,”) but they’ve frequently shared festival bills and hobnobbed at industry events over the years.

Wilson is a younger star who’s been open about her Dolly Parton influence: She even put out a song called “WWDD,” which stands for “What Would Dolly Do.”

They’ve gotten to know each other over the past few years, and Parton even recorded a special message to be played at Wilson’s Grand Ole Opry induction.

Parton’s Miley Cyrus connection is well known (she’s the younger pop star’s godmother), but the most surprising name on this song’s collaborator’s list is Queen Latifah. A Grammy-winning rapper and songwriter, Latifah doesn’t appear to have much in common with Parton other than a long, illustrious career.

But yep, they’ve worked together — and not just briefly!

This connection comes via Parton’s foray into acting. Latifah is also an accomplished actor, and the two co-starred in the 2012 film Joyful Noise. The following year, Parton appeared as a guest on The Queen Latifah Show and even rapped during her appearance.

Why Is Dolly Parton’s New Version of “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” So Special?

Last July, Parton admitted she wasn’t feeling up to writing new songs since the death of her husband, Carl Dean, in March 2025.

Aside from a previously unreleased song called “If You Hadn’t Been There,” shared in tribute to Dean, she hasn’t really put out much in the way of new music since then, either.

She didn’t specifically say anything about how this new version of “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” could tie into the stage she’s in of the grieving process.

But it’s easy to imagine that Parton might be revisiting this song — with help from some women who’ve been checkpoints for her in her career — as she looks toward a future that still contains much joy and hope, even after acute heartache.

Kansas upsets No. 2 Iowa State, hands Cyclones first loss of season



After Kansas lost to West Virginia on Saturday to fall to 1-12 in Big 12 play, Jayhawks coach coach Bill Self ripped his team, saying “we suck right now.” Self’s assessment didn’t age well Tuesday when the unranked Jayhawks put on their best showing of the season and upset No. 2 Iowa State 84-63 in emphatic fashion at Allen Fieldhouse to hand the Cyclones (16-1, 3-1 Big 12) their first loss of the season.

Kansas (12-5, 2-2) went wire-to-wire with the win and dominated on both ends with a season-high 12 made 3-pointers on the offensive end while forcing 12 turnovers on the other end from an ISU team typically careful with the ball. Every major piece clicked for KU including star freshman guard Darryn Peterson, who had 16 points and five boards. Fellow backcourt mate Tre White added 19 points — a game-high — of his own. Fifteen of White’s 19 points came from the 3-point line.

The dominant win for Kansas is more of the same vs. an Iowa State program it has dominated historically and recently. The win extended KU’s winning streak vs. the Cyclones in games played in Lawrence to eight games, and improved its record in the last 11 meetings to 8-3. KU now holds a 100-16 record vs. ISU in games played in Lawrence.

Self’s proclamation over the weekend that his team sucks right now was not tongue-in-cheek — but it was made with a heavy emphasis on the latter part of that statement. 

“But it’s right now,” Self said. “Everybody goes through ebbs and flows in the season. … We’ve got to flip it.”

It’s just one game — an impressive one, to be clear, but still just one game — so we can’t declare KU flipped. Not yet. But KU dominated one of the best teams in college basketball in a way that cannot be ignored. For a KU team that has been riding a roller coaster much of the season, this could serve as an inflection point to get its season back on track. 

For Iowa State, it loses the chance to be the last remaining unbeaten team (only four remain) and it takes a tally in the loss column — but there is no reason to panic. The Cyclones didn’t have their best stuff Tuesday. Kansas did. It happens. 

It was ugly, to be sure, and out of character. ISU’s mighty defense gave up 50.8% shooting from the field to Kansas, 12-of-24 shooting from 3-point range and forced only nine turnovers. No team has made ISU look more fallible this season than Kansas.

Despite the loss, ISU is still tracking toward a potential No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and remains a real contender in a wide-open Big 12.

Elissa Slotkin says she’s under investigation after video about refusing illegal orders

Elissa Slotkin says she’s under investigation after video about refusing illegal orders


Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., is being investigated by federal prosecutors after she participated in a video with other Democratic lawmakers urging members of the military and the intelligence community not to follow illegal orders, her office confirmed Tuesday.

Slotkin said in an interview with The New York Times that she found out about the probe from the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Slotkin’s office confirmed her remarks to NBC News but did not elaborate.

“Facts matter little, but the threat matters quite a bit,” Slotkin told the Times. “The threat of legal action; the threat to your family; the threat to your staff; the threat to you.”

Pirro’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday night.

Slotkin, a former CIA officer who served in Iraq, is the second lawmaker who participated in the video to face an investigation following its release in November.

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., a retired Navy captain and astronaut, on Monday sued over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s effort to censure and demote him for what the Defense Department described as “seditious statements” in the video. Kelly called the Pentagon’s move “unlawful and unconstitutional.”

Trump previously blasted the Democratic members of Congress in the video, accusing them of committing “seditious behavior.” He said in November that their actions were “punishable by death” but later walked back the remarks, saying he was not threatening them with death but did believe that they are “in serious trouble.”

Other lawmakers who participated in the video include Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado.

Responding to Trump’s comments at the time, Slotkin said that she received threats immediately and that Capitol Police told her she would be put under 24/7 security.

NBC News reported this week that Pirro, a Trump ally, opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, a frequent punching bag for Trump as he calls for lower interest rates. Powell said Sunday that the Justice Department was threatening the Fed with possible criminal indictment over his testimony before Congress last year about the renovation of the central bank’s offices.

DEFEATED SANITY’s JACOB SCHMIDT On The Riffs That Taught Me


Defeated Sanity bassist Jacob Schmidt is the latest guest on The Riffs That Taught Me, where he traces his musical DNA through a trio of tracks that helped define his approach to heaviness, precision, and groove.

The episode opens with Suffocation‘s “Breeding the Spawn”, a cornerstone of brutal death metal whose tangled riffs and unrelenting intensity set a new bar for extremity.

From there, the conversation takes a turn into progressive territory with Symphony X‘s “Sea of Lies.” The song’s dramatic structure and neoclassical flair highlight another side of Schmidt’s influences, emphasizing dynamics, composition, and the importance of musicianship beyond speed alone.

Closing out the episode is a double dose of thrash royalty: Megadeth‘s “Holy Wars… The Punishment Due” and “Tornado of Souls.” And what’s there even to say about both those tracks? Absolute classics.

Defeated Sanity recently announced their first U.S. headline tour in support of Chronicles of Lunacy, which is going down April and May. The tour kicks off on April 16 at the Parish HOB in Anaheim, CA and wraps up on May 16 at the Backstage Bar in Las Vegas, NV.

TGL best moments: New York beats Jupiter Links, 8-3


Jan 13, 2026, 09:25 PM ET

Jupiter Links Golf Club took the TGL green for the first time this season, taking on New York Golf Club on Tuesday night at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

Jupiter Links got off to a hot start, taking a 2-0 lead on the first two holes, but New York overcame the deficit, storming back to win the match 8-3.

Max Homa, Kevin Kisner and Akshay Bhatia were active for Jupiter Links, while Tiger Woods and Tom Kim were inactive. For New York, Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young and Rickie Fowler were in action with Xander Schauffele sitting out.

Here are the best moments from Tuesday’s match.

Will Ferrell introduces Jupiter Links and New York

Fans in attendance got some laughs ahead of Tuesday’s match. Actor Will Ferrell introduced the players for both teams, plus the player who would be coaching up Jupiter Links from the bench.

“Some guy named Tiger,” Ferrell said. “Who’s that? Does anyone know? Nevermind.”

Jupiter Links strikes first

Even from the bench, Tiger Woods found a way to get in a hammer throw.

Jupiter Links got an early advantage on Hole 1, after Fowler hit a drive into the bunker for New York. Meanwhile, Jupiter Links found themselves just under eight feet from the hole after two shots. So, Woods threw the hammer, which New York declined, giving Jupiter Links a 1-0 lead.

Jupiter Links earns first-ever multiple-point lead

After a forgettable season last year, Jupiter Links got off to a much better start this campaign. The team earned its first-ever multiple-point lead, with a quick 2-0 lead over New York on the first two holes of the match. Max Homa was caught taking in the moment on camera.

“This is easily the best I’ve ever felt,” Homa said to his teammates.

Young narrowly misses from 125 yards out

Young nearly put the team on his back on Hole 4. After New York hit the ball into the penalty area on its second shot, which lead to a 1-stroke penalty for the team, Young was just inches away from giving his team a chance to tie the hole from 125 yards away. His shot bounced off the flagpole, allowing Jupiter Links to win the hole and earn a point.

Cameron Young nearly holes out from 125 yards out

New York Golf Club’s Cameron Young hits the flagstick on the fourth hole for a near birdie.

Fowler seals the win for New York

With one last chance to close the gap on New York’s 6-3 lead, Jupiter Links threw the hammer ahead of Hole 13 to make it worth two points. The pressure was no problem for Fowler, however, as he sank a 14-foot putt on his third shot to secure the win for NYGC.
