A cargo ship loads containers at a container port in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, May 3, 2014. China's exports went up 0.9 percent year on year to 188.54 billion U.S. dollars in April, customs data showed on May 8. Imports were up 0.8 percent to 170.09 billion U.S. dollars and total foreign trade volume increased 0.8 percent to 358.63 billion U.S. dollars, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) said. However, yuan-denominated customs data offered a different picture, showing that April exports dropped 1.4 percent to 1.16 trillion yuan and imports lost 1.3 percent to 1.04 trillion yuan. [Xinhua]
