🚨🇨🇳🇺🇲 LATEST: CHINA SURPASSES THE US AS THE MOST COMMON TRADE PARTNER FOR COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD
In the year 2000, the US was the main trade partner of over 80% of countries. By 2018, that number fell to just 30%
Now China is the main trade partner of 128 out of 190 countries, dominating especially in Africa, Asia, and Latin America
The numbers are compelling: China's total trade grew from $474 billion in 2000 to over $4 trillion. Meanwhile, the US went from $2 trillion to similar levels, but losing relative influence
While Trump threatened with 60% tariffs on China, the rest of the world deepens its trade ties with Beijing.
