Workers assemble export-oriented off-road racing motorcycles at Chongqing Maideng Motorcycle Co in Shapingba district in Southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality on April 9, 2026. Customs data showed that China’s export volume rose 22.25 percent year-on-year in the first two months of 2026, while export value was up by 24.90 percent year-on-year. This shift indicates that China’s motorcycle industry is undergoing a transformation toward high-quality development – shifting from “selling more” to “creating higher value,” the Xinhua News Agency reported.
