BEIJING - China’s exports tumbled the most in three years in February while imports fell for a third straight month, pointing to a further slowdown in the economy despite a spate of support measures.
Global investors and China’s major trading partners are closely watching to see how quickly its economy is cooling after growth slowed to a near 30-year-low in 2018. That left the country with a trade surplus of $4.12 billion for the month, much smaller than forecasts of $26.38 billion. But many China watchers had expected a weak start to the year for the world’s largest trading nations as factory surveys showed dwindling domestic and export orders and the Sino-U.S. trade war dragged on.
