China’s Trade Surplus Keeps Stacking Up

China’s growing trade surplus is a double edged sword. On one hand, it means China’s economy is strong in exports, bringing in cash and bolstering their economy. But it’s not all good news, when a country sells way more than it buys, it can rub other nations the wrong way. 

The U.S. for example, might slap on new tariffs to “even things out,” especially with Trump’s comeback. So while China’s riding high now, this trend could stir up some serious trade drama down the line.
