Opinion: Irish exports to China continue impressive surge

Exports of goods and services from Ireland into the Chinese market continue to show fine growth, with food exports proving a particularly bright spot, despite the gloomy economic commentary from that market.

Manufactured goods exports growth of 5.3% in the year to date was matched by an equal amount of services exports as Irish exporters shrugged off headline economic figures and focused on supplying what they say is continued strong customer demand from China.
