Is US trade deficit with China that big?

I don’t think so.

In 2024, US trade deficit with China is slightly lower than $300bn.

To compare, in 2011, US trade deficit with China is at the same level.

Back in 2011, US GDP is $15.6 trillion and that grows to $29 trillion in 2024.

We know the math – the trade deficit with China as % of US GDP is almost halved from 2011 to 2024.
