China’s exports tumbled 12.4 per cent in June from a year earlier as demand weakened after central banks raised interest rates to curb inflation even as Chinese leaders struggled to keep a post-COVID recovery from faltering.

Customs data released Thursday showed imports slid 6.8 per cent to US$214.7 billion. Exports edged up slightly from the month before, totaling US$285.3 billion. The trade surplus was US$70.6 billion, rising from US$65.8 billion in May
