China's exports in December up 10.7%, beating estimates as higher U.S. tariffs loom
Briefly

China's exports in December 2016 grew 10.7% year-on-year, outpacing economic forecasts of 7%, as factories prepped for potential tariffs from Trump.
Analyst Zichun Huang indicated that 'outbound shipments are likely to stay resilient in the near-term,' though fears of tariffs could weaken exports later.
The total value of China's imports and exports hit a record 43.85 trillion yuan, asserting China's position as the world's largest exporter.
While some sectors of China's economy slow down post-pandemic, exports rise due to government pushes for factory upgrades and high-tech manufacturing.
