BEIJING — China's foreign exchange reserves came in at $3.1718 trillion at the end of November, up from $3.1012 trillion at the end of October, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said Thursday.

The country's foreign exchange regulator attributed this increase to the combined impact of currency translation and asset price changes.
