Stable U.S.-China trade ties are vital to the U.S. port industry as China is a key trading partner of the United States, said a senior port official. "A lot of trading we do is with China. We export more to China than any other country," Paul Aucoin, executive director of the Port of South Louisiana, the largest tonnage port in the United States, told Xinhua in a recent interview.
