Foreign trade figures to be released on Friday

The General Administration of Customs will release foreign trade data on Friday. The volume of foreign trade rose 15.6 percent year-on-year to 25.14 trillion yuan ($3.87 trillion) in the first 11 months last year. Despite rising protectionism and anti-globalization sentiment, China's imports and exports with major trading partners remained strong.
