Indeed, or to be a bit cute about it: "Does the 'America' graph include the 'China' part of America?"

Not that China is part of America. More like the two are squabbling lovers locked in an embrace so tight that it's literally "'til death do us part."

Doesn't matter. The amazing thing about trade is actually how much of a great tool it is in bringing countries and societies closer despite all other differences.

Said in other ways, China and the US may not like each other, but they will never go to war with each other as long as they trade with each other.
