China's trade surplus shrinks 27.6% in July from year earlier



China's trade surplus shrank 27.6 percent in July from a year earlier to US$1.6 billion as import growth far exceeded export growth, said the Ministry of Commerce on Wednesday.

The trade surplus of the first seven months of the year was just US$6.1 billion, a decline of more than 61 percent, the ministry said on its website.

Exports last month stood at US$38.1 billion, up 30.6 percent from a year earlier, while imports totaled US$36.5 billion, an increase of 35.3 percent, according to the ministry.

In the first seven months of the year, exports rose 33.4 percent to US$228.4 billion, while imports rose 42.9 percent to US$222.3 billion.

China has cited the rapid rise in its imports as a reason why it would be a bad time to strengthen the currency, despite international calls for such a move.
