Why Krugman Is Wrong About the Yuan

Has it ever occured to some observers that maybe, just maybe the American trade deficit with China is, in some parts, due to Americans spending more than their income? After all excessive credit was used to buy products which were manufactured abroad.

Country by country the picture for America looks as follows:
(Imports above exports)

China ... US$323.1 billion
China ... $61 billion

Canada ... $312.5 billion
Canada ... US$213.1 billion

Mexico ... $210.2 billion
Mexico ... $119.4 billion

Japan ... $144.9 billion
Japan ... $58.1 billion

Germany ... $94.4 billion
Germany ... $44.3 billion

United Kingdom ... $56.9 billion
United Kingdom ... $45.4 billion

South Korea ... $45.4 billion
South Korea ... $33 billio

France ... $41.2 billion
France ... $25.8 billion

Whilst the case with China is indeed extreme it doesn't really look better when looking at other countries.

Sometimes in order to move forward you need to take a step back.

Is China's Recession Worse Than We Thought?

Could people who can't tell the Ming's from the Qing's please stop writing articles about labour riots and what they could result in as they clearly lack the historical background?
I've listed a few times why they don't signify that much trouble, what could possible cause trouble is student riots.

Chinese Companies Go Abroad (Introduction)

The Chinese aren't so dumb as to strain their 'national champions' with such a burden. The Chinese government has enough ways to find employment for them, ever been in a Chinese restaurantor shop? They've got more workers than you'd even like!
