According to the General Administration of Customs in China, Chinese exports fell 20.7% from this time a year ago. Causes for the slow down may be related to a slow down in global demand for Chinese goods and the Chinese New Year holiday in February.

January and February 2019 customs data showed exports down 4.6% compared to 2018 data, indicating a slowing global economy and not the trade war is the cause.

The country’s exports to the U.S. fell 26.2% last month, while imports from the U.S. dropped 28.6%, leading to a bilateral trade surplus of $14.72 billion, a two-year low.
