China exports beat forecasts ahead of US tariff talks

Quick Summary:

BEIJING — Chinese exports rose last month despite the trade war raging with the United States, official data showed Friday ahead of talks between the world's top two economies towards easing the standoff.

While Trump has suspended for 90 days many of the most painful levies, those on China have remained in place.

Zhiwei Zhang, president and chief economist at Pinpoint Asset Management, also attributed the forecast-beating exports to "transshipment through other countries".
