Points to observe from these  pie charts

1. Canada exports more to the U.S. than China 2. Canada's biggest export market in Asia is Japan 3. Canada imports "twice" as much from China, as from Japan 4. Canada is still the biggest export market for U.S. goods 5. The U.S. has a massive trade deficit with China  - however a lot of this is U.S. based companies operating in China, exporting back tot he U.S. (eg. Walmart)

b
One of the purposes of this chart is to illustrate a point often incorrectly observed re: USA-China trade
Some Americans and Chinese too, say that the China-USA trade is the most important to each country
- not so, the US-Canada trade relationship is by far the biggest economic exchange
