The Board of Trade said today that Britain's trade with China totalled about £15,000,000 annually which was about one-third higher in value but less than one-third in volume of prewar trade.
The average rate of prewar trade given in official figures for the period 1934-38 was £12,300,000-the highest year being in 1937 with a total of £14,100,000.
Last year Britain's total trade the volume of trade both ways with China was £15,843,255 was restricted by embargoes. which was £540,289 lower than the 1953 total but nearly twice as much as the total in 1950 when the Communists took over in Peking.
