Please China, slap back with an even higher number. See if you can out bluff the annoying orange. I feel like American consumers are way more reliant on Chinese stuff than China is relying on American goods.
Hahaha.. China needs US consumers far more than US needs Chinese consumers.
There's a 200 billion+ trade deficit from China...
Edit: 300 billion
$361 billion as of 2024. But that doesn't mean they need the US. They're still doing a lot of trade with the rest of the world. And this won't be stopping trade entirely, the US will still be importing a lot from China.
This is literally what their belt and road initative is built to hedge against.
