Nikkia Asia
China was likely knocked off the perch as the top exporter to the U.S. for the first time since 2006 last year, outpaced by Mexico as tensions between the world’s two largest economies reshape supply chains.
American goods imports from China dropped more than 20% on the year for the January-November period, according to U.S. Commerce Department data released this week. China accounted for 13.9% of total U.S. imports, the smallest share since 2004, after peaking at more than 21% around 2017. U.S. exports to China have stayed roughly flat on the year. More

China is asshole, not stupid.
Does the report score the human trafficing? Do they price the unaccompanied minors different from the 20-something males? Of which demographic is Joetato getting his 10%?
Dr. Tar, that’s textbook “burying the lede”. Or ledes, as it were, the other lede being the Biden administrations continuation of Trump’s tariffs, which they railed against vociferously at the time the tariffs were imposed.
And no mention of who controls the Panama Canal, the Belt & Road Initiative or BRICS. Looks like Nikkei Asia is trying to spin for its ailing American ally.
Riba, Riba, Riba!!!!!!!
Ondalay, ondalay, ondalay… So, says Speedy Gonzalez the fastest mouse in all of Mehico.
That won’t last much longer since all Mexicans will shortly reside in this country! Then we will be our largest trading partner!
sounds like they are counting the chinese made fentanyl as a mexican import. border patrol needs to start implementing cavity search for all border crossings. simpletons still have not figured out how the fentanyl is getting across. if it was up their a$$ they would know.
The reason Mexico’s exports jumped to #1 is because all the illegals stuffed their pockets with exports on their way over the border.
