China's foreign exchange reserves totaled 3.3464 trillion U.S. dollars at the end of November 2025, up by 3 billion U.S. dollars or 0.09 percent, compared to the end of October, official data showed Sunday.
The State Administration of Foreign Exchange attributed this increase to the combined impact of currency translation and changes in asset prices.
Influenced by factors such as macroeconomic data and monetary policy expectations of major economies, the U.S. dollar index declined in November, while global financial asset prices experienced mixed movements, the administration noted.
Supported by a steady economy, China remains well-positioned to maintain the overall stability of its foreign currency reserves, the administration said.

A group of demonstrators gathered in Bulgaria's capital Sofia on Monday to protest against U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
The protesters rallied with signs reading "Do not engage war in Iran" and "We do not welcome U.S. military aircraft", to show solidarity with Iran.
"No one has the right to launch an attack on a sovereign country or interfere in its decisions," said Kostadin Kostadinov, chairman of the Bulgarian Revival party, while delivering a speech at the rally.
"The U.S. military equipment should not be brought to Bulgarian territory and the territory cannot be used in any form for military operation against Iran. We demand the U.S. military planes to immediately leave Bulgarian territory. This is not our war. The Iranian people are not our enemy. Iran is not our enemy," Petar Nikolaev Petrov, deputy chairman of the Bulgarian Revival party, said in his speech.
Several U.S. military planes have been deployed at Sofia Airport in recent days, though the Bulgarian government denied that they were linked to U.S. military operations.
The U.S. and Israel on Saturday launched strikes against Iran, plunging the war-torn Middle East into a new round of violence. Iran has retaliated with a series of counterattacks against Israel and U.S. targets across the region.
