The huge China surpluses and huge US deficits simply show that the huge profits of the smiley curve are largely extracted from the American consumers. Only partially, I should think, because lots of Chinese-manufactured goods are sold by US corporations abroad. Even to the extent that Smiley is paid for by the US consumer, I wonder if that makes any substantial difference. Profits are made, and are recirculated in the economy with the multiplier effect still in place. Smiley might go a long ways towards explaining why the trade imbalance has not bankrupted us long ago.
