BEIJING—China’s exports dropped unexpectedly in April, likely adding a further complication to Beijing’s efforts to stabilize growth amid renewed trade tensions with the U.S.China’s exports declined 2.7% from a year earlier in April, reversing a 14.2% gain in March, according to government data released Wednesday. Demand weakened across most major markets, some economists said. Also at work, they said, is that the rush to fill export orders last year, before threatened U.S. tariffs took effect, has petered out.
