res-As its turns out, more than 40 percent of the nation's imports are from the overseas subsidiaries of American companies, contributing to the lopsided trade deficit, but also making companies more competitive.

HA! Someone finally commented on what has been bugging me for a long time regarding trade numbers. If 40% of those numbers are derived from American companies exporting to the U.S. from overseas, do trade numbers really mean anything? For that matter, are they really "American companies" simply because they're listed on the American stock exchanges.
