Ah thanks, I wish I had better sources, the one I quoted was all I could find. Yeah at $10B/year, the tables are turned I think. Strictly speaking, it's still a lot less than the money paid by the Chinese citizens to Apple. But that's not a fair comparison, since it's not like the Beijing government can just take that money and use it to pay salaries to some workers. I suppose they could, over time, guide domestic consumption towards more domestic goods, but it's a slow and uncertain process.
