How is this listing ranked anyway?  China with 363 trillion is ranked #1 and the United States with 747 trillion is ranked #163?

And you might note that, although this is supposed to be a "balance" so you would think it would sum to ZERO, it actually sums to about MINUS 300 Billion -- so the world runs a trade deficit with itself!

Actually, I think the techinical reason is that imports are counted WITH freight (at the port of entry), and the exports are counted without freight (and insurance, etc) at the port of departure!
