Month by month
Monthly figures show timing effects that annual totals hide. Coal can wait in border yards for weeks, so a month's exports may appear in China's figures the next month.
Monthly shipments
Million tonnes per month
- Mongolia reported (exports to China)
- Estimated from Mongolia's total exports
- China reported (imports from Mongolia)
- From a news report citing China customs
UN Comtrade has China's monthly figures to December 2024. Later months come from China customs releases reported in the press, entered by hand with a link per row.
