Foreign trade in the first quarter was 5.9% lower than a year earlier at 5.2 trillion yuan, with exports down 4.2% and imports down 8.2%, according to China's (Xinhua) News Agency.
Trade surplus for the first quarter widened 8.5% from one year earlier to 810.2 billion yuan. Exports to the European Union, China's biggest trade partner, dropped 1.4% year on year in the first three months of the year, the GAC data showed.
