| China's monthly trade surplus rebounds in April |
BEIJING, May 11 (Xinhua) -- China's trade surplus in April more than doubled the figure of March to 16.88 billion U.S. dollars, though the country's exports grew slower and imports rose faster over the past month, according to the General Administration of Customs.
But the figure was still a drastic decline from February's 23.7 billion U.S. dollars, the second-highest monthly level on record.
The administration said the aggregate surplus for the first four months has reached 63.31 billion U.S. dollars, with the April exports standing at 97.45 billion U.S. dollars and exports 80.57 billion U.S. dollars.
The year-on-year rise for exports in April stood at 26.8 percent, a slight drop of one percentage point from the first quarter; for imports in April, at 21.3 percent, about 3.1 percentage point higher than the first quarter.
