According to the statistisches Bundesamt China and the USA are the largest trade partners of Germany, and have been for a while. I'm doubting that the other countries are more accurately displayed

    Maybe it shows the netherlands as Germany's biggest trade partner, because the Chinese and American stuff comes through Dutch ports

  • Probably why non EU countries are all trading the US, UK, and China.

    At any rate it ignores that trade the EU does with the US, UK, and China is about 10 times the size of the trade deals measured in this map of IMF statistics. It either breaks it down as 'NL=EU' or it just omits the EU trade entirely while keeping them comparing with non-EU countries.
