From your source, the last sentence is

The U.S. goods trade deficit with China was $295.4 billion in 2024, a 5.8 percent increase ($16.3 billion) over 2023.

Doesn't that confirm their assertion of a $200B+ trade deficit or am I confused? I'm not particularly economics savvy.

Edit: derp, I reversed the meaning of their comment, they thought the US has the deficit. They got it backwards!
