Total United States' exports to China surpassed $100 billion last year, with 30 states now counting China as one of their top three export markets, according to a new report released by the US-China Business Council (USCBC) on Wednesday.
The annual report says that China remains the US' third-largest export market, just behind Canada and Mexico - two neighbors that have a regional free-trade agreement with the US.
"Exports to China are vital to America's economic health and create good jobs for American workers," said Erin Ennis, vice-president at the Washington-based organization, which represents about 240 American companies doing business in China.
Between 2000 and 2011, total US exports to China rose 542 percent - from $16.2 billion in 2000 to a record-breaking $103.9 billion in 2011 - while exports to the rest of the world increased 80 percent. US exports to China recovered faster after the recession than exports to anywhere else in the world, according to USCBC.
