francoba + 93 fb April 12, 2019 China’s exports rebounded from a slump in March and sales to the United States rose despite President Donald Trump’s tariff hikes. Exports rose 14.2% over a year ago to $198.7 billion, recovering from February’s 20.8% contraction, customs data showed Friday. Imports fell 7.6% to $166 billion, worsening the previous month’s 5.2% decline. Exports to the United States rose 3.7% to $31.8 billion, recovering from February’s 28.6% decline despite Trump’s tariffs of up to 25% on $250 billion of Chines goods. Imports of American goods plunged 25.8% to $11.3 billion, hit by Chinese retaliatory duties and orders to buyers to find other suppliers. The slump has added to pressure on Chinese leaders to make peace in a tariff war with Washington over Beijing’s technology ambitions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beijing has only one real way out of the slump – it needs to end the trade war with Washington. Vice-Premier Liu He, who visits the US this week, should hammer out a deal soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
