You are so far off with this logic. China sends thousands of pilots to train in this country, in return the US gets.
About $100,000 per student for the school
Money spent by the student into the economy while attending
Airplanes are needed for this training, more money for economy
Instructors are needed, more jobs mean more money being spent by
instructor.
Chinese kid now goes back to China to fly for their airline. Airline grows
and buy planes from the US for their growing airline.
