Trade shows healthy growth

Performance can be partially 'attributed to recovery of the global economy'

China's trade in goods climbed 8.9 percent year-on-year to 9.11 trillion yuan ($1.43 trillion) in the first four months of this year, partly due to the upturn in the global economy and solid domestic demand, official data showed on Tuesday.

Exports rose 6.4 percent year-on-year to 4.81 trillion yuan between January and April, while imports grew 11.7 percent to 4.3 trillion yuan, according to the General Administration of Customs.
