China has reported an unexpected fall in its exports and imports, adding to concerns of a slowdown in its economy.
Exports fell 3.1% in June from a year earlier, indicating weak global demand for Chinese goods. Most analysts had expected a 4% increase in shipments.
Imports declined 0.7% from a year ago, showing that domestic demand remained subdued.
