This data shows that imports from China are down significantly year on year, though?

Can’t respond to this other user but their source confirms that there is a consistent drop in imports from China since late last year (goes down each month.). Saying “we’re back to pre-Covid levels” is a strange thing to say when Covid clearly saw a huge spike in imports, which are now decreasing. Their framing of this entire conversation seems incredibly dishonest.
