BEIJING - China’s trade surplus with the United States stood at $30.75 billion in September, Reuters calculations based on Chinese customs data showed on Tuesday, down from a $34.24 billion surplus a month earlier. For the first nine months of the year, China’s trade surplus with the United States totalled $218.57 billion.
