Chinese imports for January rose by 86 percent compared to the same month a year earlier, and exports rose by 21 percent, the second month showing an increase after a year’s stalemate. The overall trade increase of more than 44 percents comes as some figures are showing China to be the world’s largest exporter. The Chinese impact on the world economic rebound “may reinforce overseas calls for China to allow a stronger currency,” reports Bloomberg.
