The conclusion that can be drawn about trade between the US and China is:
**The US has a trade deficit with China.**
This is supported by the fact that imports from China have consistently exceeded exports to China over the years represented in the graph, leading to a trade deficit. The other statements are incorrect or misleading:
- **US trade with China is decreasing.**: This is not true, as both imports and exports have increased over the years.
- **The US did not import from China in the 1990s.**: This is incorrect; imports began at a low level in the mid-1990s and rose significantly thereafter.
- **US exports to China had more value in the 1990s.**: This is also incorrect; exports were near zero in the early 1990s and only began to increase significantly after that decade.
