BEIJING—China’s exports fell in March but at slower pace than the 17 percent contraction seen in January-February as the CCP virus shutdown paralyzed much business activity.
Exports sank 6.6 percent from a year earlier to $185.1 billion, an improvement over the 17.2 percent contraction in January and February, customs data showed on April 14. Imports declined 0.4 percent to $165.2 billion, recovering from a 4 percent fall in January and February after Beijing started reopening factories and stores.
