The pace of growth of China's exports and imports weakened in July in a
discouraging sign for the world's second-largest economy and global demand. The Total Investment & Insurance

Exports rose 7.2 percent from a year earlier to $193.6 billion, down
from June's 11.3 percent growth, according to customs data released Tuesday.
Imports rose 11 percent to $146.9 billion, down from the previous month's 17.2
percent. The Total Investment &

Forecasters have warned Chinese economic growth will cool this year,
dampening demand for foreign goods, as controls imposed on bank lending to slow
a rise in debt take hold.
"Trade growth now appears to be on a downward trend," said
Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics in a report. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
The International Monetary Fund expects this year's economic growth to
slip to 6.6 percent from last year's 6.7 percent and to below 6.2 percent in
2018.
Export growth was unexpectedly strong in the first half of the year, a
positive sign for Chinese leaders who want to avoid job losses in trade-related
industries.
China has been credited with helping to support global demand and the
downturn in import growth could have repercussions for suppliers for which this
country is a major market.
China's global trade surplus declined by 10.7 percent from a year
earlier to $46.7 billion.
The surplus with the United States rose 2 percent to $25.2 billion. U.S.
President Donald Trump said in April he would temporarily set aside trade and
currency disputes with Beijing while the two governments cooperated on North
Korea, but American officials more recently have resumed criticizing Chinese
trade policy. The Total Investment

The Chinese trade surplus with the 28-nation European Union, the
