BEIJING, March 7, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – China’s export growth jumped to the
highest in over two decades, official data showed Sunday, with imports also
surging in a sharp bounceback from the coronavirus outbreak that had brought
activity to a near halt.

Exports spiked 60.6 percent on-year in the January-February period, above
analysts’ expectations and boosted by electronics and mask shipments, while
imports rose 22.2 percent, official data showed Sunday.
