U.S. imports from China increased $185 billion between 2001 and 2006, an increase of 181%. Wal-Mart\u2019s share of U.S. imports from China was stable in this period. Its imports increased from $9.5 billion in 2001 to $26.7 billion in 2006, an increase of $17.2 billion (181%) \u00a0Wal-Mart was responsible for a $17.1 billion increase in the U.S. trade deficit between 2001 and\u00a02006. The Wal-Mart was also responsible for 111,400 lost U.S. jobs in 2001 and 308,100 jobs in 2006. Those numbers have continued to increase.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The growing U.S. trade deficit with China has displaced huge numbers of jobs in the United States and been a prime contributor to the crisis in manufacturing employment over the past several years. WalMart alone is responsible for the loss of nearly 200,000 U.S. jobs due to its own growing trade deficits with China. The current unbalanced U.S.-China trade relationship is bad for both countries, and Wal-Mart has played a major\u00a0role in creating that imbalance. The United States is piling up foreign debt, losing export capacity, and facing a more fragile macroeconomic environment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.duke.edu\/\">Duke University&#8217;s<\/a> expert on the subject, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soc.duke.edu\/GlobalEngineering\/garygereffi.php\">Gary Gereffi<\/a>, says Wal-Mart was not the first American company to head to China in search of low cost goods, but it has been the most aggressive. &#8220;Wal-Mart was one of the key forces that propelled global outsourcing, off-shoring of U.S. jobs, precisely because it controls so much of the purchasing power of the U.S. economy.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2347\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2347\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/owni.eu\/2011\/12\/21\/christmas-brought-to-you-by-chinese-slave-labor-mattel-disney-china\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2347\" title=\"Internet ad for Chinese products\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/youdecide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Internet-ad-for-Chinese-products.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/youdecide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Internet-ad-for-Chinese-products.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/youdecide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Internet-ad-for-Chinese-products-256x140.jpg 256w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/youdecide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Internet-ad-for-Chinese-products-320x176.jpg 320w, https:\/\/wormholeriders.org\/youdecide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/Internet-ad-for-Chinese-products-400x220.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Web site of a Chinese company offering slave labor to make products for the west.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">What is the U.S. shipping back?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">&#8220;We&#8217;re shipping out about three billion worth of raw materials\u201d, says <a href=\"http:\/\/info.hktdc.com\/shippers\/vol26_3\/vol26_3_events01.htm\">Yvonne Smith<\/a>, the director of communications for the port of Long Beach, \u201cWe export cotton, we bring in clothing.
