Yeah, 150k for the entire country seems like very few. Here's the stats just for the Port of Los Angele: https://www.portoflosangeles.org/business/statistics/container-statistics
A few notes:
"crap from China" like cancer drugs, iPhones, and CNC machines. In fact, the top commodity in US-China trade is machinery and mechanical appliances.
We are talking about trade here, so compare them by economies instead of population. Puts Russia into perspective every single time...
Touché, I was just thinking in terms of volume if we're comparing sheet number of containers
Would they even stack up to California in terms of economic activity?
I'm aware, just pointing out it's hardly a unique situation.
