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 still managed to earn $14.7 trillion.
That is the rest of the picture.
Yes, a tiny portion of a much larger picture.
