发帖数: 901 | 1 WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. trade deficit surged to the widest imbalance in
more than three years in January as imports hit an all-time high, reflecting
big demand for foreign-made cars, computers and food products.
U.S. exports to Europe fell, raising concerns that the debt crisis in that
region could dampen U.S. economic growth.
The January trade deficit widened to $52.6 billion, the biggest gap since
October 2008, the Commerce Department reported Friday. Imports rose 2.1
percent to a record $233.4 billion. Exports were up a smaller 1.4 percent to
$180.8 billion. Exports to Europe fell 7.5 percent.
Economists are looking for the deficit this year to widen from last year's $
560 billion imbalance, reflecting in part the economic woes in Europe, which
represents about 20 percent of America's export market. A wider deficit can
depress economic growth because it usually means fewer export-related jobs.
A National Association for Business Economics forecasting panel has
projected that the deficit for 2012 will narrow by 4.1 percent to $535.4
billion and will edge down further to $525 billion in 2013 as growth in
exports keeps pace with import increases.
The economy grew at an annual rate of 3 percent in the final three months of
2011. For all of 2011, the economy expanded by just 1.7 percent, roughly
half the rate in 2010. The NABE forecasting panel expects growth to improve
to 2.3 percent this year and accelerate to 2.8 percent in 2013.
In January, the politically sensitive deficit with China rose 12.5 percent
to $26 billion. Last year, the deficit with China hit a record $295.5
billion, the highest deficit ever recorded with a single country.
At a time of high unemployment in the United States, political pressure is
growing to impose economic sanctions on what critics see as China's unfair
trade practices such as a currency regime that keeps the yuan undervalued
against the dollar, making Chinese goods cheaper in U.S. markets and
American products more expensive in China.
The deficit with the 27-nation European union dropped 11.7 percent to $8.5
billion in January but that occurred because European imports fell 8.7
percent, offsetting a 7.5 percent drop in U.S. exports to Europe. Economists
are worried that a severe recession in that region resulting from a
prolonged debt crisis will crimp U.S. exports.
The rise in imports in January reflected a 3.3 percent increase in petroleum
imports to $39.1 billion and a 10.4 percent increase in imports of autos
and auto parts, which hit an all-time high of $25.3 billion. Imports of
capital goods such as computers and industrial machinery also hit a record
at $44.7 billion. Imports of food products also hit a record high of $9.6
billion with demand for foreign-produced fish, meat, bakery products and
wine and beer all rising.
The increase in exports reflected records in several categories with exports
of U.S. made cars and auto parts setting a record at $12.7 billion and
exports of U.S. made capital goods, a category that includes computers,
aircraft and telecommunications equipment, setting a record at $43.2 billion

the way the calculate the deficit is rediculous.
China imports parts to make the ipad: total $: 120/ea
US exports some of the parts to china to make the pad: $50/ea.
US imports ipad from China: $699/ea.
US deficit: $649/ea. x 2 million = 1.3 billion dollars.
But, 90% of those are APPL profits.
Yet counted as US trade deficit. | m*t

ipad/iphone之流只能算富士康的出口，又不能算苹果的出口
富士康的出口只能按富士康和苹果订的价格算，肯定没有$699/each
如果按$699算的话，那中国海关每个收17%的增值税，笑都笑死了
