China’s trade surplus just blew past one trillion dollars — but the real story isn’t what you’ve been told. Everyone’s arguing about subsidies and the RMB, yet those are just the surface. The real reason China dominates global exports is much darker: low wages, squeezed workers, weak domestic spending, and a system designed to drain money from the world while keeping its own people poor.

This is the truth behind China’s trillion-dollar trap.
