Beijing, Aug 6 - India Thursday denied reports in a section of the Chinese media and said it has not imposed any restrictions on Chinese goods.

The Indian embassy here said in a statement that Indian exports to China in the first six months of 2009 stood at $6.6 billion, a decline of 50 percent compared to the same period last year. On the other hand, Chinese exports to India in this period stood at $13.41 billion, which was a slowdown of only 16 percent.

'The value of Chinese exports during this period is double the Indian exports, which in turn is almost equal to the size of our trade deficit with China during this period, which stood of $6.41 billion,' said the pressnote.

It pointed out that in the last five years, Chinese exports have seen a 10-fold increase from $3.3 billion to $31.51 billion. On the other hand, Indian exports have only risen five fold to $20.34 billion in 2008.

'This would reinforce the fact that bilateral trade has been increasing and the rate of growth of Chinese exports to India has been maintaining a steady pace.
