China's total exports and imports surpassed $4 trillion for the first time to reach $4.16 trillion in 2013, up 7.6 percent year on year, according to customs data.
The growth rate, however, is slightly lower than the government's full-year target of 8 percent, published in the beginning of 2013. China's exports rose 7.9 percent year on year to $2.21 trillion in 2013, while imports increased 7.3 percent to $1.95 trillion, customs data revealed on Friday.
The foreign trade surplus widened to $259.75 billion in 2013, an increase of 12.8 percent from a year earlier, said Zheng Yuesheng, spokesman for the General Administration of Customs. In December, China's foreign trade value hit a new high of $389.8 billion, an increase of 6.2 percent from a year earlier.
