China's trade surplus soared to its second-highest monthly level on record in July, according to data reported Friday, Aug. 10, 2007, amid mounting pressure by U.S. lawmakers to sanction Beijing over trade and currency disputes. July's surplus totaled US$24.4 billion (euro17.8 billion), the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing the Chinese customs agency. That was a 67 percent jump from the year-earlier period and beat every previous month except June's all-time high of US$26.9 billion. (AP Photo/Greg Baker, File)
