Korea's response to long-term slowdown in exports to China

Frame of Image d a double-digit growth until 2011 (except in 2001 and 2009). However, the growth of exports to China has visibly slowed down to 0.1% y.o.y. in 2012, 8.6% y.o.y. in 2013, and actually contracted in the year to date in 2014. The decline of 0.6% is quite worrisome as it is even lower than the growth rate of Korea’s overall exports (2.3%) or that of China’s overall imports (1.5%) in the same period.
