What you just posted indicates there is actually a $300 billion deficit with China, which makes their point even more pronounced. China has much more to lose in terms of wealth from trade with the US.
Trump is still a dumbass and we're all the losers in this fiasco though. There are legitimate benefits to trade and sometimes things shouldn't be even.
What is with the down votes? The trade deficit is literally $295 billion for 2024.
