China May services trade deficit widens as Chinese tourists splurge

China's trade deficit in services widened to $18.3 billion in May, as Chinese tourists continued to spend more abroad than foreigners visiting the country, the foreign exchange regulator said on Tuesday.

The deficit was led by a $16.2 billion gap in spending between Chinese and foreign tourists, according to data from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange(SAFE).

The country posted a $17.3 billion deficit on trade in services in April. Last year the services sector had a deficit of $10.2 billion in May.

For the first five months, China had a deficit of $76.7 billion in services trade and a surplus of $207.8 billion on trade in goods, producing a combined surplus on trade in goods and services of $131 billion, the data showed.
