CHINA'S trade data missed expectations in April just as tensions with the United States are flaring up again. China's trade surplus shrank drastically last month, coming in at US$13.84 billion, against the preceding month's US$35 billion.
Dollar-denominated exports fell by 2.7 per cent from a year ago, going by data from the China's General Administration of Customs.
