Chinese imports are about 2.45% of the USA economy (2017)

A weaker dollar makes our exported goods less expensive to other countries, making us more competitive.

You never want to have the strongest currency if you want job growth and rising exports to close the trade gap...

Thanks for repeating what I just wrote.

My point...

Exports are 12% of the USA economy.

The other 88% of our economy is harmed by a weak Dollar.

Currency manipulation is NOT the same thing as high productivity or superior products.
