Please China, slap back with an even higher number. See if you can out bluff the annoying orange. I feel like American consumers are way more reliant on Chinese stuff than China is relying on American goods.
Hahaha.. China needs US consumers far more than US needs Chinese consumers.
There's a 200 billion+ trade deficit from China...
Edit: 300 billion
I highly doubt that, the rest of the world buys stuff from a China like crazy as well. They should be able to send the stuff elsewhere instead quite easily. What you're saying sounds just like something the orange idiot would say.
Gives pick me energy and it's the newest talking point and very annoying. Total exports as a percentage is 15% that china ships to the us.
A deficit doesn't make it a bad thing. It means we are more of a consumer economy to focus on higher level of jobs.
Yes, the deficit means China has the greater risk. China pushing a tariff on the little they consume from the US means nothing, just because they buy so little.
Basic economics.
