BEIJING/TOKYO -- ASEAN has emerged as a key export destination for China as President Xi Jinping's administration endures a bruising trade war with the U.S.
Chinese exports to the U.S. dropped 12.5% for 2019, while imports from the U.S. plunged 20.9%, in dollar-denominated goods trade statistics released Tuesday in Beijing by the General Administration of Customs -- the biggest falls in data going back to 1984.
