BEIJING: China's exports rose for the third consecutive month in August, eclipsing an extended fall in imports, as more of its trading partners relaxed Covid-19 coronavirus lockdowns in a further boost to the recovery in the world's second-biggest economy.
Exports in August rose a solid 9.5% from a year earlier, customs data showed on Monday, marking the strongest gain since March 2019. The figure also beat analysts' expectations for 7.1% growth and compared with a 7.2% increase in July.
