US Exports to China by Congressional District
Friday, May 9, 2008 18:53Posted in category Uncategorized
The US China Business Council has just put up (Maybe I just found it) one of the most useful maps I have seen when it comes to trade between the US and China called the Congressional District Exports to China: 2000-07
With the ability to make a cut at the state level, and at the congressional level, the USCBC has done a great job of providing a useful interface for people interested in learning more about exports of goods made in the United States.
As an example, take a look at Missouri (my home state):

Kind of depressing that the top 3 exports from Missouri are waste, chemicals, and minerals…. but good to see the Great State of Missouri (not Missoura) is representing!

I think China has enough of its on goo with importing more goos from the USA. What’s next – gunge?
Sorry, couldn’t resist, I know I’m sad.

Not sure how they would put such info together as export stats are unreliable for final destination – particularly at the state level – while import stats don’t break them into subunits. In effect, the exercise is a misleading guess.

Very interesting. What would be even more interesting would be to see my state (Washington) become number 1, which actually may happen any year now.
