Asia stocks were set to trade lower on Monday as China's exports declined in November for the fourth consecutive month, Reuters reported citing customs data.

China's overseas shipments dropped 1.1% year-on-year in November, below the 1.0% expansion expected by analysts in a Reuters poll. Imports, on the other hand, rose 0.3% as compared to a year earlier — exceeding projections for a 1.8% decline.
