BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China’s exports fell less than expected in September, with monthly figures even showing signs of a mild recovery over the summer, but a hefty drop in imports may keep pressure on policymakers to do more to stave off a sharper economic slowdown. Highlighting persistent weakness in demand at home and abroad, China’s combined exports and imports fell 8.1 percent in the first nine months of the year from the same period in 2014, well below the full-year official target of 6 percent growth.
