Let me see it I get this straight. WalMart bought $15 billion from China and according to their financial statement bought a total of $198.747 billion.

WalMart Financials

That's only 7.55% of total goods purchased. How can they sell only Chinese goods when Chinese goods were only 7.55% of their total?

And another thing, if $15 billion is 80% of their total imports, that means total imports were only $18.75 billion. I thought all their products were imports.

Could some WalMart bashers please check my math here?

Maybe the stuff they're selling in China was made in Africa.

well....I suspect China will soon become the new Super Power since all of our outsourcing in manufacturing and electronics is being shipped over there....
