Stocks in China rose Tuesday with shares in Hong Kong leading the advance after the government reported robust export growth for April driven by strong trade with mainland China and other Asian nations that offset weak demand from the U.S. April export sales jumped 14.5% from the previous year to $31 billion, vs. 7.6% in March. "We see evidence of decoupling here, where growth in other nations remains strong, while U.S. demand slows. But whether this will be sustained in the coming months is a big question. In the months ahead, I see external weakness starting to trickle into the export numbers," said Kelvin Lau, economist with Standard Chartered. The Shanghai Composite Index closed up 10.86 points, or 0.3%, at 3,375.41, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 154.73 points, or 0.64%, to 24,282.04.
