BOAO, China, April 10 (Reuters) – China is still concerned about weak global demand and rising protectionism, Vice Commerce Minister Yi Xiaozhun said on Saturday.
Yi made the comments at the Boao Forum for Asia on the southern island of Hainan.
China on Saturday reported its first monthly trade deficit in six years, although the level of exports and imports last month was higher than in March 2008, before the global financial crisis reached a peak.
