@mattklt

fallows is a fraud

[stealthpakfa]

bullshit.

its actually 17% according to the cia stats website.

without china, america will collapse.

china is propping up a dead american economy.

[mattklt]

twenty three percent is a large portion.

and they also depend on american stability so that the absurd amount of us currency they have doesn't lose value.

so, fallows doesn't really show a lack of knowledge and understanding.

i'm going to go out on a limb here and assume he has a much greater understanding than you do, or myself.

[stealthpakfa]

only 23% of chinas exports goes to the US.

so 77% goes to other nations.

saying china depends on the US shows lack of knowledge and understanding.
