China's trade balance came in surplus in the last month of 2013, however the surplus was significantly lower than in the previous year and it missed economists' estimated as imports rose and exports declined, the Customs Administration reported on Friday. The country's trade surplus dropped by 24.3% in December totalling $25.6 billion, while it was forecast to record $31.2 billion.
