Australia’s exports to China surged to record highs in March as the Asian giant sucked in more iron for its steel industry and lowered barriers to thermal coal shipments amid thawing diplomatic relations.

The jump helped lift Australia’s total trade surplus to its second-highest on record at 15.3 billion Australian dollars.
