China's electronic products trade sharply down

The import and export of electronic and information products in China went down 30.3% year on year in the first two months as shown by  data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The combined import and export value was $87.61 billion through January to February.

Exports fell 26.1% from the same time a year ago to $53.55 billion. Imports were down 36% to $34.06 billion.

The import value of LCD panels, a main component in flat-panel television, declined 48.8% to $1.82 billion.
