⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐#币安投票下币 $BTC Made in China, a toy costs $5 to produce, and the retail price in the United States is $100.

The factory in China only makes a few yuan in profit, and the workers are exhausted like oxen.

So where does the rest of the money go? The brand owners, shipping companies, and retailers in the United States all take a share of the pie. They change the packaging, put on a logo, run some advertisements, and easily pocket $80.

China gets this small profit but has to deal with these dollars. Aside from buying commodities like oil, chips, and food, most of the rest is often used to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds.

In other words, a significant portion of that hard-earned money is lent back to the U.S. government to spend.

Then Americans look at their accounts and see a frightening deficit, completely baffled:

"How come we spent so much money? Where did all the money go?"

The biggest beneficiary of global trade, the United States, starts to feel like it is at a disadvantage.

At this point, the media and politicians quickly jump in to tell the public:

"OMG, China has taken $100 from your pockets!!! This is unfair! We must have a trade war!"

In fact, most of that money never really left the United States. In the end, it obediently takes a round trip and ends up back in the pockets of the U.S. Treasury.
