Washington Post,August 9, 2007 on page D5: Some senators are worried about the large trade deficit between the US and China. China's trade surplus jumped almost 60% in July,widening to $23.1 billiion from $14.6 billion a year earlier, according to a Bloomsberg News poll of 18 economists released on August 8, 2008.
