As a sign of economic recovery, China's imports last month stood at 103.01 billion U.S. dollars. They fell 3.5 percent year on year, but rose 17 percent from August, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) said on October 21.
Exports in September dropped 15.2 percent from the same month last year to 115.93 billion U.S. dollars, but their value rose 11.8 percent from August.
The GAC said the country's foreign trade had risen since March measured from month to month, and the trend of recovery had stabilized.
Liu Shijin, deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, forecast that China's exports would probably grow positively at the end of this year and rise 8 to 10 percent next year.
