China's exports jump 36.3% in September, trade surplus nears record

China's exports rose 36.3% year-on-year in September, the fastest growth in nearly any month since the global financial crisis, according to official data. The surge puts China's trade surplus on track for a record, with the surplus reaching $938 billion for January through September, Reuters and AP reported. Analysts say the pace could intensify trade tensions with major trading partners.
