US exports to China hit record $128b

Report comes just days ahead of visit of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin

Exports from the United States to China grew faster than US export growth to the rest of the world, according to a report from the US-China Business Council released on Monday.

The US exported nearly $128 billion of goods to China in 2017, more than ever before and making China the third-largest US goods export market, trailing Canada and Mexico, according to the USCBC's 2018 annual report on state exports. US goods exports to China declined slightly in 2015 and 2016.
