China's April Export Surprise

中国4月出口结果喜人

The unexpected rise in China's April exports may have been aided by rising need overseas for medical goods,

一家中国证券经纪公司的报告显示，

according to a report from a Chinese securities brokerage.

中国4月份出口意外增长，可能是源于海外对医疗用品需求的增加。

China's exports grew 3.5% in April from a year earlier,

中泰证券分析师梁仲华和李军上周四在微信上撰文，

but once increased medical goods trade are subtracted the rise may be only about 0.8%,

文中提及4月份中国出口较上年同期增长3.5%，

Zhongtai Securities analysts¹ Liang Zhonghua and Li Jun wrote in a Wechat post on Thursday after the data release.

但如果扣除医疗产品贸易增长，增幅可能仅有0.8%左右。

"China's foreign trade is still under pressure, as new export orders remain at low levels," the analysts wrote.

分析人士写道：“由于新的出口订单仍处于较低水平，中国外贸还面临压力。”。

Economic contractions² in the U.S. and major countries may extend into the second quarter, and that "will further drag down China's external demand."

美国和主要国家的经济收缩可能会延续到第二季度，这“将进一步拖垮中国的外部需求”

Exports of medical instruments and devices jumped more than 50% last month compared with a year ago,

上个月，医疗器械和设备的出口较去年同期增长了50%以上，

while shipments of textile yarns³, fabrics⁴ and related products rose 49.4%. Chinese herbal medicine exports also increase 13.7%, they said.

而纺织纱线、织物和相关产品的出口增长了49.4%。他们说，中草药出口也增长了13.7%。

China is a major exporter of protective medical equipment, accounting⁵ for 50% of world imports in 2018,

彼得森国际经济研究所（Peterson Institute for International Economics）最近的一份报告显示，

according to a recent Peterson Institute for International Economics report.

中国是保护性医疗设备的主要出口国，2018年占世界进口量的50%。

China's net exports of personal protective equipment dropped significantly in January and February

彼得森的报告显示，由于中国在抗击病毒爆发的同时减少了出口，增加了进口，

as the nation exported less and imported more while battling the virus outbreak, according to the Peterson report.

中国1月和2月的个人防护装备净出口大幅下降。

The net picture improved in March, although it was still below the level in 2019, the report said.

报告称，3月份净利润有所改善，不过仍低于2019年的水平。
