The US having the largest economy in the world enjoys the most benefits of free trade. Yes, US has a large structural trade deficit. Yes, Red China is one of the largest creditor countries and buyer of US government issued debt. Which country would most people rather live in? Everyone is gaming to get into America. How many Americans hide in shipping containers trying to get into Red China? Only the DPRK citizens/prisoners are trying to get into Red China. And their unhappy reward is to be shipped back from whence they came.
China is doing quite well being an exporting country while we are having economic problems by importing product and sending jobs, factories and Treasuries in return.
