But for exports that's just not true.

2007 CIA World Factbook (2006 estimates) shows Europe barely a blip on the screen.  21% of Chinese exports go to the US, and a further 16% to Hong Kong which is likely transhipment rather than consumption, again largely to the US.  

And that's mushroomed from $11 billion in 1989, to almost $300 billion now.  Yet, the EU27 is still a larger source of imports (by value) than China.

The US DOC maintains a detailed database of US trade statistics.

Does the EU mantain something similiar?
