    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.
