Top 15 Countries by Total Exports (1960-2018)

This video ranks the top 15 countries in the world by total exports of goods and services from 1960 to 2018. Exports of goods and services represent the value of all goods and other market services provided to the rest of the world. They include the value of merchandise, freight, insurance, transport, travel, royalties, license fees, and other services, such as communication, construction, financial, information, business, personal, and government services.

I understand that the United States leads the world in exporting demented political philosophy cross dressed up as DEMOCRACY.

Do not just look at the posted graph here. Go to the link and watch this happen, with appropriate sound. It is really informative.

Thanks!

Russia’s rise & fall was interesting.

China went up 10x, while we lost more than half.

Gotta love the republican and democrat help toward china. Yet, people still go out and vote for them.

[Theoria]

'while we lost more than half merely doubled.'

I assume that the high ranking of the Netherlands is due to goods throughout Europe being funneled through the Netherlands for export.

Where is Taiwan (Republic of China) on the list? I see they have Hong Kong split out, which means Communist China exports over $3T worth every year.

At least we got the TSA, DHS, and Patriot Act...

Re: Hong Kong exports not included in China exports

Good catch - I completely missed that.

I would like to know what percentage of Hong Kong exports are services - like international banking and container shipping.

Against Communist China, The USA trails by less than 10%.

Since Communist China employs at least 4X times as many industrial workers as the USA does, I have never been especially worried about falling behind China in manufacturing.

Every business in the USA needs to be focused on new automation and new digital technology every year.

Instead, we import more than a million new low skill, low cost foreign workers every year.

Economic insanity!

Taiwan is outside of top 15, it's somewhere around 17th-20th in recent years.

“I see they have Hong Kong split out, which means Communist China exports over $3T worth every year.”

Over half of HK’s export goes to the “mainland” China. There's a large port over there, most of HK’s trade is actually transit, otherwise they wouldn't be that high on the list. I think the same goes for Singapore.

[Dr. Sivana]

most of HK’s trade is actually transit

That makes sense, and a similar explantion would also help to understand the high ranking of the Netherlands.
