India, July 14 -- China's exports growth accelerated sharply in June, driven by robust demand for hi-tech products, suggesting that foreign demand provided momentum to economic growth in the second quarter.

Exports advanced 27.0 percent on a yearly basis after rising 19.4 percent expansion in May, the General Administration of Customs said Tuesday. The growth exceeded the expected pace of 18.2 percent.

Similarly, imports reported a double-digit annual growth of 36.0 percent, up from 27.4 percent in the previous month. The growth hit the strongest since June 2021. Economists had forecast imports to climb 24.0 percent.
