[superadmin]

China's export volume grew by 23.4 percent year-on-year in yuan-denominated terms in March, which is seen by analysts as a "very pleasant surprise" amid the current complex and volatile international business environment, and underscores the resilience of the Chinese economy.

They said China will become a locomotive for global economy to return to development track from negative impacts of COVID-19, US-led unilateralism and protectionism as well as other risks, dealing a heavy blow to certain Western countries' decoupling push.

China's export volume in March stood at 2.15 trillion yuan ($312.85 billion), up 23.4 percent from the previous year, while soaring 48.4 percent month-on-month, according to data released by the General Administration of Customs (GAC) on Thursday.
