US Exports to China by State 2000–11

©2012, The US-China Business Council

Executive Summary

Exports to China are a vital part of the US economy

� Exports to China are vital to America’s economic health and create good jobs for American workers. China is the third-largest US export market, and US exports to China continue to expand rapidly. As a buyer of US goods, China ranks behind only Canada and Mexico—two immediate neighbors with whom the United States has a regional free-trade agreement.

� Between 2000 and 2011, total US exports to China rose 542 percent, from $16.2 billion to $103.9 billion. Total US exports to the rest of the world increased only 80 percent during this period. Top exports to China in 2011 included agricultural products, computers and electronics, chemicals, and transportation equipment (primarily aerospace and autos).

� This nearly $88 billion increase in exports to China during 2000–11 exceeded the increase to

every other market for US goods and farm products, with the exception of Canada. US exports to Canada rose $102 billion over the same period, while US exports to Mexico rose $86 billion. Brazil was a distant fourth with just a $28 billion increase in purchases of US products.

� President Barack Obama’s National Export Initiative, announced in January 2010, aims to double

total US exports by 2014—a target that requires at least a 15 percent average growth rate per year for five years. China is among the countries for which US exports have exceeded the global annual average growth rate of 18 percent in the initiative’s first two years. In fact, China is the only major US export market to have consistently exceeded the 15 percent target growth rate since 2000.

States across the country are benefitting from exports to China

� Forty-eight states have registered at least triple-digit export growth to China since 2000, far outpacing growth in their exports to the rest of the world. Twenty of those states have experienced quadruple-digit growth.

� Ten states have at least doubled their exports to China since 2009, while three of these states—South Carolina, South Dakota, and Vermont—have more than tripled their exports to China in the past two years.

� Thirty states now count China as one of their top three export markets and 25 states exported more than $1 billion to China in 2010, with export categories reflecting a broad range of products. The list of top 15 state exporters to China in 2011 includes states not usually thought of as benefitting from trade with China: Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.


� Even states with smaller export volumes to China are benefitting. Over the 2000–11 period, exports from Delaware, Montana, Nevada, and Vermont rose faster than those of the top 15 exporters.

But more can be done to increase our exports

� Despite the substantial increase in US exports to China, America’s share of imports into China has fallen to 7 percent from 10 percent in 2000, making the United States only the fifth-largest source of Chinese imports in 2011. A worthy additional goal of President Obama’s National Export Initiative should be to reclaim a 10 percent share of China’s imports by 2014. To help American companies accomplish this goal, policy makers should seek to bolster the capacity and resources of US trade agencies,:

o Foreign Commercial Service To help companies, especially small and medium exporters, find more export opportunities;

o Export-Import Bank To make support of US exports to China its top priority;

o Office of the US Trade Representative To understand and remove market access barriers that threaten to restrict US exports; and

o State and Local Initiatives To support further engagement and facilitate business development opportunities between American and Chinese parties at the state and municipal levels, where most business activity takes place.


Notes on the 2000–11 Edition

� All data used for this and all previous editions of the report come from the US Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. Prior to 2007, the Trade Statistics Express database operated by the US International Trade Administration was the basis for the report. The 2000–07, 2000–08, 2000–09, 2000–10, and 2000-11 editions are based on the Census Bureau’s USA Trade Online database. Any differences reflect minor Census Bureau data revisions.

� The national export totals include the export data for each state and for Washington, DC, US Territories, and “unassigned” exports.

� The report shows 12 years of data. The year 2000 is included because it was the last full year of

data prior to China’s early entry into the World Trade Organization and serves as a benchmark for the record of US export growth since that important milestone.

� China is not just a source of imports; it is also a large and growing market for US exports.

� China is the third-largest US export market and US exports to China continue to expand rapidly.

As a buyer of US goods, China ranks behind only Canada and Mexico—two immediate neighbors with whom the United States has a regional free-trade agreement.

� President Barack Obama’s National Export Initiative (NEI), announced in January 2010, aims to

double total US exports by 2014—a target that requires at least a 15 percent average growth rate per year for five years. o China is among the countries for which US exports have exceeded the global average annual

growth rate of 18 percent in the NEI’s first two years. o In fact, China is the only major US export market to have consistently exceeded the 15 percent

target growth rate since 2000.

� When US export totals to Hong Kong, a significant throughpoint for US goods destined for China, are combined with US exports to China, the 2011 export figure jumps to $140.4 billion, with an average annual growth rate of 25 percent since 2009.


Growth in US Exports to Top 10 Markets, 2000–11

� US exports to China since 2000—the last full year before China’s entry into the World Trade

Organization—have risen at a significantly faster rate than US exports to any other major export market. Crop production, computers and electronics, chemicals, and transportation equipment (primarily aerospace and autos) were the largest US exports to China last year.

� Growth in the other top US export markets in the 2000-2011 period has been significantly

slower.

� Comparing growth in the nominal value of exports between 2000 and 2011, China and Hong Kong together added $110 billion—accounting for roughly one-sixth of all incremental growth in US exports over those years.

Note: Rankings are based on export data for 2000 and 2011, comparing the top 10 markets for US exports. “Rest of World” export growth is calculated using the cumulative sums for US exports to all remaining markets (non-top 10) for those years.

� Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and the European Union each export more goods to China than the

United States. While PRC imports from Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are driven largely by China’s central role as the processing hub at the end of East Asian production chains, EU imports demonstrate a notable benchmark from which to compare US export competitiveness in China.

� Despite substantial growth in US exports to China, the US share of PRC imports has fallen to 7

percent from 10 percent in 2000. The US share fell further from 2010 to 2011 as growth in US exports to China were outpaced by those from other markets, most notably the European Union.

� A worthy additional goal of President Obama’s National Export Initiative should be to reclaim a

10 percent share of China’s imports by 2014. To help American companies accomplish this, policy makers should seek to bolster the capacity of US trade agencies such as the Office of the US Trade Representative, US Foreign Commercial Service, and the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Supporting state and local initiatives to promote trade and investment with China can also go a long way in boosting US exports to China.

Note: The value of PRC imports from the United States is higher than US exports to China because of several data discrepancies between US and PRC trade statistics, including shipping costs, methodological differences, and tariffs that are applied as goods pass through other customs territories on their way to China.

� Twenty-five states exported more than $1 billion to China in 2010, and another 9 states

exported more than $500 million. � The list of top 15 state exporters to China in 2011 includes states not usually thought of as

� Over the 2000–11 period, the exports of a few states with smaller export volumes to China—

including Delaware, Montana, Nevada, and Vermont—rose faster than the exports of the top 15 exporters.
