China&#8217;s trade surplus for the first half of the year, though, was down 18 per cent, reflecting its increased buying of raw materials used in infrastructure projects, which sent the value of imports up even faster than exports.<\/p>\n<p>The export performance comes despite rising costs for Chinese manufacturers, which are dealing with the highest inflation in three years, government-directed wage increases and a yuan that has strengthened more than 5.5 per cent against the US dollar in the roughly 13 months since China let it go &#8212; although it has weakened against other major currencies in that period.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite recent reports about manufacturers fleeing China amid rising wages, China&#8217;s dominance in the export field is still going strong, according to new statistics out this week.
