http://www.euronews.net/ China's trade surplus shrank slightly last year to the equivalent of 125 billion euros.

Export growth fell, hit by weaker demand from key export markets -- Europe and the US -- but there was also a rise in imports.

Beijing has vowed to boost domestic demand and increase imports to create a better trade balance in the face of criticism particularly from Washington.
