U.S. exports of services to India were an estimated $23.7 billion in 2017, 15.2% ($3.1 billion) more than 2016, and 174% greater than 2007 levels.

Very interesting. Thanks, Wayne. I don't know if you have access to this, but I still wonder what is traded between China and India, if anything.

Japan is in that import-export trade phenomenon, too, with the USA. It is my understanding that it became cheaper to ship raw-material used in making steel/products , and to have the finished products shipped back to the USA, than to have steel continue to be manufactured in the many cities along the now-called "Rust Belt" factory real estate. Though I have received advice somewhat to the contrary here on MTJ about this previously, I remain unconvinced, though I realize the high wages demanded by the unions were seen as culpable in the steel industry collapse in the overall USA.

Thanks again, Wayne. I didn't know if that info would be available. One thing I bet the Chinese government quashes is reporting on their traditional medicine, because it involves contraband like elephant tusks.
