China’s exports rose again in August, exceeding expectations again

According to data released by the Chinese customs service on Monday, the value of exports in dollars increased by 9.5 percent year-on-year in August. Analysts expected growth of 7.1 percent following a 7.2 percent gain in July. The expansion of Chinese exports thus broke almost a one and a half year record. A higher growth rate of 14.2 percent was measured the last time in March last year. (MTI)
