China’s exports and imports sink in September as global demand falters
China’s exports and imports both fell in September from a year earlier, though they contracted at a slower pace than the month before even as global demand remained muted.
Customs data released on Friday showed exports for September slid 6.2% to 299.13 billion dollars (£244 billion) in the fifth straight month of decline. Imports also slid 6.2%, to 221.43 billion dollars (£180.6 billion).
