Exports were up 45.7 percent over a year earlier, the Chinese customs agency reported Wednesday, beating analyst forecasts of 35 to 40 percent growth. Imports surged 44.7 percent, the agency said, reflecting growing demand in China as it emerges from the global crisis. "China's trade is extending its recovery," said Zhu Jianfang, an economist for Citic Securities in Beijing. "Exporters are getting more orders these days." February's growth rate was boosted by comparison with last year's weak trade amid the global downturn and came despite the weeklong Lunar New Year holiday, when many companies shut down. Zhu said the data increase chances the government might allow China's currency, the yuan, to rise in value. Beijing has held the yuan steady against the dollar for 18 months to help Chinese exporters but is under pressure from Washington and other trading partners that say it is undervalued and is swelling China's trade surplus. Combining data from January and February shows exports surged 31.4 percent during the period from a year earlier, the customs agency said. Analysts say looking at that two-month period compensates for the distortion of the Lunar New Year holiday and produces a more accurate picture of China's trade. In a reflection of stronger global trade, China's total February imports and exports were up 45.2 percent from the same month last year. China overtook Germany in 2009 as the world's top exporter. China's central bank governor, Zhou Xiaochuan, said Saturday that Beijing will be "very cautious" about easing exchange-rate controls because the global economic outlook is still uncertain. China's global trade surplus for the January-February period narrowed by 50.3 percent from the same time last year, reflecting surging Chinese demand for imports spurred by its quick rebound from the crisis while the United States and other key export markets are still struggling. Chinese economic growth accelerated to 10.9 percent in the final quarter of 2009 on the strength of massive stimulus spending and bank loans. That drove demand for imported iron ore and other materials used in stimulus-financed construction projects. "Stronger domestic demand led to the good performance of imports," said Liu Qiyuan, an economist for China Merchant Securities. "We can see the domestic economic is on track for recovery." China's global trade surplus was $7.6 billion in February and the combined January-February surplus was $21.8 billion. Its trade surplus with the United States in the January-February period shrank by 27 percent to $20.9 billion. The gap with the 27-nation European Union, China's biggest trading partner, widened by 34 percent to $22.3 billion. China's combined trade surpluses with its major export markets were larger than its global surplus because it also ran substantial deficits with Australia, Brazil, Taiwan and other suppliers of iron ore, industrial components and other materials needed by its booming export manufacturers. The commerce minister, Chen Deming, cautioned Saturday that despite stronger recent trade, it will be two to three years before China's exports return to pre-crisis levels. "With unemployment in the U.S. and EU remaining stubbornly high, and government subsidies to consumption winding down, that recovery will necessarily be a slow process," Tom Orlik, an analyst in Beijing for Stone & McCarthy Research Associates, said in a report. ___ Associated Press researcher Bonnie Cao in Beijing contributed to this report. ___ On the Net: General Administration of Customs of China (in Chinese): http://www.customs.gov.cn Recommend Send IM Story Print Related Articles Turkey - Factors to Watch on March 10 Reuters - 1 hour 36 minutes ago Japan machinery orders fall in January AP - 1 hour 36 minutes ago Turkish lira gains slightly, IMF says deal talks off Reuters - 1 hour 39 minutes ago China to loan Sri Lanka $290 mln for infrastructure Reuters - 1 hour 45 minutes ago Cathay Pacific returns to full-year profit AP - 1 hour 50 minutes ago News Search Top Stories 'IMF' for Europe a distracting sideshow: experts Greek PM: Obama 'positive' on speculator battle Researchers back cancer-fighting properties of papaya WHO unveils landmark anti-malaria measures Greece heads for further general strike More Top Stories » Related Full Coverage China Economychina economy All Full Coverage » ADVERTISEMENT Most Popular Most Viewed Most Recommended N.Korea says ready for dialogue and war with US World's biggest oil trader ends supplies to Iran: company Chile quake moved entire city 3 meters to west: study Researchers back cancer-fighting properties of papaya HIV among newborns could be 'eradicated by 2015' More Most Viewed » Chile quake moved Earth's axis, shortened days: scientist Experts confirm asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs Florida killer whale to stay in park after deadly attack Common weed-killer chemically castrates frogs: study Australia police search anti-whaler ship at Japan request More Most Recommended » Elsewhere on Yahoo!
