China's foreign trade sustains growth momentum

BEIJING: China's foreign trade maintained an upward momentum in the first seven months of the year, although uncertainties of global economic recovery have put more pressure on the country's exports.

The country's total imports and exports expanded by 24.5 percent year on year to 21.34 trillion yuan (about $3.29 trillion) from January to July, showed data from the General Administration of Customs (GAC).
