Exports grew up 11.4 percent over the previous year to $ 114.5 billion, a contraction of 0.5 percent in January, twiddle-when a factory for a two week vacation malasan breaks, customs data showed Saturday. Imports surged 41 percent to $ 145.9 billion, revived after a 15 percent decline the previous month.

China’s global trade deficit was $ 31.5 billion-the largest since at least the 1990s and a rare exception to the recent series of multibillion-dollar surplus.

The deficit reflected a relatively strong Chinese growth amid debt crisis and U.S. economic problems of Europe. The economy expanded by 8.9 percent in the last quarter of 2011 and targets growth the Government this year was 7.5 percent.

But more extensive measures, February’s show incorporates strong deterioration of January, shows growth in both imports and exports decelerating sharply.
