BEIJING — The U.S.’s share of trade with China has dropped to its lowest level since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001 as Beijing prepares for potential tariffs with the return of the Trump administration.
The U.S. accounted for 11.2% of China’s overall imports and exports in dollar terms for the Janu-November period, Chinese customs data shows, down 4.6 percentage points from the 2001 share. The data covers merchandise trade.
