chinese imports -6.7% (4.6), exports 4.7% (11.6) (previous)

trade balance 54b (45b)

trade balance ok, because imports are down 11.3% while exports only down 6.9%

in other words, china imported less and exported less, but it still managed to export more relative to the imports.

but both numbers down, down, down. (china slowing is what it really says?)
