U.S. annual trade gap with China fell to $ 226 800 000 000 in 2009, down from a evidence high $ 268.0 billion in 2008. But Obama management is keen to lift exports and employ, and the deficit is still a point of friction with Beijing.

The inequity has resulted in accusations by the U.S. Congress and the industry that China manipulate its currency for inequitable trade advantage by keeping the price of its yuan artificially low alongside the dollar.
