Walmart sucks up 10% of China's exports, that's roughly $20 billion a year, makes up 2-3% of America's economy and forces suppliers to eventually move to China by demanding yearly 5% cost cuts, till they can't afford to be in America anymore. But you already knew that.

Hey Swanky, even your mathematically challenged buddy here says that WalMart's purchases from China are only $20 billion. Now if WalMart bought $220 billion last year, Chinese purchases made up about 9.1% of the total.

For you public school math students, 9.1% is less than 100%. I'd even go so far as to say much less than 100%.
