Wal-Mart is China's eighth-largest trading partner. The other seven are
countries. d8-) It is a larger trading partner with China than
Australia,
Russia, or Canada.

However, Wal-Mart's purchases from China last year were roughly $18
billion,
out of $260 billion of total Wal-Mart purchases worldwide that year. So
the
Chinese component of Wal-Mart's products tends to be overestimated by
casual
observers.

Does that include the US suppliers that Wal-Mart forced to move
production
to China to meet their price?
Could be, I wonder, ED?

I don't know, Dave.
