China's foreign trade decreased

China's exports and imports declined in April higher than expected – according to official figures published on Sunday.

The customs office reported that exports fell 1.8 percent to 172.7 billion USD instead of the expected modest 0.1 percent decline.

The Chinese exports after nine months of continuous decline significantly increased in March, unexpectedly by 11.5 percent, but experts have warned that this is not the beginning of a trend. (MTI, mfor.hu)
