In 2024, China's service trade deficit (also called invisible trade deficit) reached around 164.7 billion U.S. dollars. The invisible trade balance includes sales and purchases of services such as transportation services, insurance services, consulting services, and tourism. A negative trade balance value indicates that imports exceeded exports that year.
