Of course the Chinese will have a smaller percentage of the DOLLAR value of

Tells you nothing. Then you equate a car imported from final assembly
in Canada the same as a 10 cent trinket from China.


If 90% of all imports only accounts for 10% of the dollar value of imports
then dollar value isn't a very good measuring stick.

Of course it is. You are looking at dollar value because that is
the measurement. You don't have a current accounts deficit of units, but
of dollars.
