  China's monthly imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) jumped to their second-highest on record in September as the country bids to ramp up supply for households in the north set to use gas for winter heating for the first time in Beijing's war on smog.

 
  China brought in 3.45 million tonnes of LNG last month, according to data released by the General Administration of Customs on Monday, up 37 percent from the same month a year ago.
 
  That's a notch below the monthly record 3.7 million tonnes, hit in December last year, as households began firing up boilers using gas. Year-to-date arrivals were up 43 percent from the same period last year at 25.55 million tonnes.
