The global economy is messing up GDP and balance of payment accounting. Think about US companies building their factories in China, whose revenues are included in the Chinese GDP and whose exports from China are added in the Chinese current account.

For all the huge trade surplus that China is purportedly ‘enjoying’ it turns out that little benefit is being derived from it. Over 50% of China’s exports are produced by foreign corporations.
