Those two statements aren't mutually exclusive

  they aren't but it's misleadingly low statistic. I think la county has something like 38% of the economy of the country.

  Yeah, but this is the statement that puts into sharp relief what's going on: This is a trade dispute between two of the Top 10 Economic Powers, more or less, and it can't really be adjudicated in a way that the USA can take advantage of. The USA's primary establishment of data abuse is institutionalized but not written into law, and no legislator would dare do such a thing. California is doing what they have always done in these situations; they are demanding a better quality of life for their citizens, and they know that the USA has no reason to object other than corruption and aristocracy.
