China's foreign trade posted a 45.2 percent year-on-year growth in February, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) announced Wednesday.

Exports in February stood at 94.52 billion U.S. dollars, up 45.7 percent, in a new indication of a rebound in global demand, while imports rose 44.7 percent to 86.91 billion U.S.dollars.

Exports grew 8.2 percent compared with the same month in 2008 before the global financial crisis, while imports increased 9.8 percent.

The administration explained that February in 2008 and in 2010 had fewer working days due to the Lunar New Year holiday.
