China is now running the largest trade surplus with America, between any two countries, in the history of our world.
EVER.

(includes October)
By the way it was Reuters/Yahoo which called the surplus “November”.
I believe it was actually October. That was reported just the last couple days, now.
Doesn’t it ALWAYS get worse in Nov & Dec? Nov is Black Friday Month. And Dec is even more Xmas shopping
China attacks Main Street.
When will they attack Wall Street? Or is that currently happening?
It’s a commie plot. No, seriously,
Hehe.
Maybe you are right.
Need more "Made in America"
Just know, our trade deficit with China is currently going to set yet another all-time record this year.
Biggest (worst) ever.
Between any two countries. Ever.
Stopping the Chinese from using us in their quest to become the most powerful nation on Earth was never going to be painless, and was never going to be a short-term endeavor.
Trump really needs to do something about this.
...
The Fed manipulating interest rates is strengthening the dollar. Trump seems to be making some progress in getting them to ease up.
The Christmas rush.
...Trump really needs to do something about this....
Im all ears.
The Christmas Rush of a very prosperous year looks to be a big factor to me. Trump has already addressed this problem so lets see what china does and how Trump reacts.
Just look at the history...
This number has been increasing almost every single year, significantly.
Every year. This is only in one generation, this has happened. And every year, it gets (much) worse.
Every year. Constantly. For the entire last generation...
You noticed too.
Trump and his ally David Perdue are subsizing the import of containers of Chinese crap by subsidizing the Savannah-Brunswick port. This makes no sense.
The communist government owns the ‘corporations’ in China.
Our own commies ‘own’ our government, our media, our public institutions, etc. I wonder how much stock in our corporations is actually owned by the commies (Chinese and domestic)? Our corporate retailers are having a hay day importing container ship loads of cheap slave-made Chinese merchandise and dumping it on our consumers.
