China trade data: Pivoting away from U.S. dependency

Hardly a week goes by without China and the U.S. exchanging barbs over trade. Meanwhile, China, being ever pragmatic, is hedging its bets on the future of its trading relationship with the U.S.

Chinese exports rose 8.3% year on year in September, hitting $328.5 billion. January-September total exports were $2.78 trillion, up 6.1% year on year, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China.
