Chinese economy collapsing, but chalking up record trade surpluses. American economy collapsing but Wall Street record high

If the Chinese economy is slowing down, how come China is chalking up record trade surpluses year after year? Just printing money like the USA to give a semblance of growing? Such printing of money would make the Chinese Yuan lose value fast. But the Chinese Yuan is strengthening, so what happened? In fact, China has always been accused of keeping the Chinese Yuan artificially low, well below its actual worth and should be kept higher.

Oh yes, Wall Street is at all-time highs every other day. So, the USA should be doing extremely well economically. Good luck to the investors.

Scott Bessent has been boasting about the economy growing out of its deficit. Holy smoke how is that mathematically possible with the USA growing at just 2 to 3%, while servicing interest rates on its long-term bonds are hovering at around 5%. The USA needs to grow above 5% to grow itself out of its deficit.
