Just admit it already, you divided by the wrong number (exports instead of imports). Imports is the larger number, thus deficit. How many more walls of text are you gonna post about your math error?
also exports from china is the bigger number.. exports from china are the imports to the US
and we all know exports from china is the bigger number

Not exports FROM China, exports TO China from the US is what's in the formula.

HA HA HA
if exports TO china FROM US was the bigger number.. guess what.. that means US is sending more to china.. in which case why is trump crying about deficits
if the US was sending more to china trump would be excited, happy and jumping around with joy

Uhm... you do realize that you made all that up? I'm saying the idiotic USTR deficit formula uses exports TO China from the US. All your other hallucinations are yours only.

I do love your selective quoting while ignoring the glaring issues of using the wrong divisor, or the "2" being elasticity (and not the delta t like you keep saying).
