Data available at the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) showed that Indonesia`s non oil/non gas exports to China in November 2011 accounted for US$2.31 billion while its imports stood at US$2.43 billion.
It showed a deficit of US$122.1 million in both countries trade balance which was in favor of China.
"Indonesia enjoyed a surplus in its trade with China for the first time in October, but it suffered a deficit again in November 2011," Djamal, a deputy head of the BPS said here on Monday.
Indonesia was able to enjoy a surplus in October 2011 because its exports were supported by such commodities as palm oil products, coal and other types of mining products.
