China’s trade grew faster than expected last month, official data showed, withstanding pressure from war in the Middle East and reversing a decline in exports to the United States, AFP reports.
The war with Iran, launched by the United States and Israel in late February, has produced new risks for China’s economy, though its trade has so far appeared to be weathering the disruptions.
Exports from the manufacturing powerhouse were up 14.1 percent in April compared to the same month last year, the General Administration of Customs said.
