CHINA trade rebounded in June with exports in positive territory for the first time in four months, but overall trade figures for the first six months of the year point to sluggish global shipments to and from the world's first trader in goods.
Exports were up in June 2.1 per cent after three months of contraction, while imports fell 6.7 per cent, a smaller drop than the previous month, figures published by the Ministry of Commerce showed.
