According to US statistics, the total amount of China-related products exported to the United States in 2013 was approximately $2.1 billion, and the total amount in 2012 was approximately $1.27 billion.

The export volume of the tires involved in the US fell by more than 60%. The Chinese tire companies mainly exported to the US market. Continued losses, the move did not bring substantial benefits to the US tire industry, which caused the US retail industry to suffer huge losses.
