  1. And US-Canada is #2. Maybe those free trade agreements were beneficial after all. 🤔

  2. US trying to burn 3 of its biggest bridges, truly regarded

  3. China-Japan being higher than US-Germany is surprising to me tbh

  4. China / Hong Kong being so high is crazy, HK is only 7.5M people.

  5. China-Hong Kong at 4 is kind of crazy when you consider how small Hong Kong is.

  6. US – EU is the biggest, it’s ~1 trillion.

    EU – UK ~793 billion

    The list goes on.

    That chart is about trade relationships, and trade is done with the EU as an entity.

  7. *WAS*.

    US-Mexico *was* the world’s largest trade relationship.

    It’s certainly not going to be anymore! Thanks America, y’all really done fucked yourselves! /s, but not really. 🫠

  8. china/hong kong. they are not seperate at all. why are they here? is this old info?

  9. How would we measure amount of consumerism per capita? The US has to be at the tippy top globally of that list, right?

    It’s one thing to try and carefully steer some of that lofty consumerism toward domestic sources, but this seems like it’s “designed” to just decrease overall consumption (recession).

  10. Imagine if they actually included all the fent in that data

  11. There is only one top 25 trade relationship without China, the US or Germany. Netherlands-Belgium. Pretty funny 😀

  12. Then why is Trump so desperately trying to blow these relationships up?

  13. China <= => Hong Kong looks arbitrarily large. Is it money laundering or is HK an aggregator for other countries?

  14. imagining a day when there is full legalization of drugs and open borders, never gonna happen but it would be a beautiful thing, would create so much economic value and stability for both countries

    we live in a very stupid world right now

  15. China <-> Hong Kong is a strange one to include given the current circumstances — I guess it was *meant* to be self-governing until 2047, but it’s been essentially reintegrated since 2020…
