I made it based on data from websites such as the World Trade Organization, The Atlas of Economic Complexity, and TrendEconomy, with the latest data from 2021.
Let's look at it by continent. The first is Asia.
Most of the goods of Asian countries are mainly imported from China, even those countries that do not deal with us, such as Japan, South Korea, India, and Vietnam, mainly import goods from China.
24% of Japan's imports come from China.
South Korea and the mainland are the largest source of imports to each other, with 22% of South Korea's imports coming from China and 8% of China's imports coming from South Korea.
15.3% of India's imports come from China.
According to data from the General Bureau of Statistics of Vietnam, Vietnam imported US$332.84 billion in goods in 2021, of which US$132.95 billion was imported from China, accounting for 40%. Although Vietnam has ambitions to challenge China's status as the "world's factory" in recent years, in the short term, Vietnam's manufacturing (OEM industry) is still inseparable from parts produced in China. Vietnam has signed several free trade agreements with the United States and the European Union, so that Vietnam's exports enjoy lower tariffs, and many exporters in China first export goods to Vietnam, branded Vietnam, and then exported to Europe and the United States, which can save a large amount of tariffs (so many Made in Vietnam are actually Made in China). Entrepot trade has seriously inflated Vietnam's total imports and exports, more than double Vietnam's total GDP, and inflated Vietnam's GDP. In 2018 and 19, Vietnam's GDP growth rate exceeded 7% for two consecutive years, partly due to the injection of entrepot trade.
