- Note. — Monthly data are preliminary and unrevised. Therefore, they will not add exactly to annual world totals. China data refer, wherever possible, to Mainland (Communist) China, including Manchuria and Inner Mongolia. In 1952 United States statistics included Outer Mongolia with China, where it is shown above. In 1953 United States trade with Outer Mongolia was separately available; it is therefore included in the total bloc column above, but not with China. United States monthly 1953 imports from Outer Mongolia were as follows in thousands of dollars: January, 647; February, 800; March, 517; April 1,185; May, 474; June, 228; July, 287; August, 1,492; September, 526; October, 1,243; November, 357; December, 902.
