I didn’t say it was statistically significant, but it’s pretty self defeating of your own logic to demean ANY exports to China.
If you are so concerned about this deficit - and I’m not because I run a deficit with everybody I buy anything from - and run a surplus from my business dealings and writing and so on - then you should welcome any and every deal of any size that is an export to China. This includes the 300 jet liner deal.
But see, I don’t think you want this solved. I think you just have a visceral irrational hatred of China and naively think we can exist in the world economy without doing business with them.
Servant and Catherine: THEY DESTROY THEIR OWN LOGIC WITH THEIR EMOTION PING.
Phony strawman. I am just putting it in context.

Individual businesses may benefit, but running huge deficits with China and having good paying jobs migrate overseas is not in our national interests.

Individual businesses may benefit, but running huge deficits with China and having good paying jobs migrate overseas are not in our national interests. American wages have stagnated for decades and we have our lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. We have a huge surplus of labor.

Another phony strawman. I want an even playing field. I don't want currency manipulation and the theft of intellectual property to give China and other countries an unfair advantage over us.
