asked by Mrigank Singh · re-verified 2026-08-07

The number it created

All of them. In 2018 China supplied the outright majority of US furniture (71%), glass (67%) and electronics (66%) imports. Today it holds a majority in none of the big chapters — electronics has halved to 32%.

What it does not say

It does not say China is minor — it remains the largest origin in most chapters. It says majority control ended everywhere. · the full record
