Having lived and worked in China and Taiwan i would not believe a word of what the government say about anything let alone a trade surplus.
I'm surprised Chump dose not get on better with the Chinese as they, like him incessantly lie about everything.
I was working on the science museum in Taiwan some years ago, spending more than a year working with their government and contractors. Everything is done on what we Brits call backhanders. If the contractor dose not get his cash bribe the work dose not get done.
While i was there i visited many of the so called sweat shops where companies like Apple and Invicta watches have there products made for pennies, then sold in the USA and around the world for up to 100 times the cost of production. The only rich people in China and Taiwan are the business owners and government, most workers live below the poverty line.
