I say simply, go shopping.

We imported about $467 billion worth of stuff from China last year.

Personal income last year was $14.7 trillion.

Your thinking is, simply, incomplete.

We sold only about $124 billion worth of stuff to China last year.

That is the rest of the picture.

That is a one-year trade deficit of $343 billion dollars. Just in one year. A new all-time record, in a series of new all-time record trade deficits.

And it’s still increasing, this year.
