China reports strong export and import growth in July

Chinese exports and imports soared in July, official data showed Friday, as the manufacturing powerhouse benefits from a global AI boom lifting overseas demand for its tech products.

Exports climbed 23.9 percent year-on-year last month, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) reported. Imports increased 27.5 percent, though that was down from the 36 percent surge seen in June.
