Selling coal to China is good for a trade deficient. Just like buying Venezuela heavy sulfur crude oil and then EXPORTING diesel, gasoline or other more expensive petroleum distillates.

Question is…did we sell our coal and oil reserves to China ALREADY in order for China to finance our profligate spending on war? Is this why we are putting moratoriums on coal and oil extraction?
