▍原文
China has overtaken Germany to become the UK's biggest single import market for the first time since records began.
Goods imported from China rose 66% from the start of 2018 to £16.9bn ($24bn) in the first quarter of this year, the Office for National Statistics said.
Imports from Germany fell by a quarter to £12.5bn in the same period.
The change came as trade with the European Union was disrupted by Brexit and the pandemic boosted demand for Chinese goods.
