See that? US oil imports. Nine point three MILLION barrels per day.

Production, 7.7 million barrels per day: http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_crd_crpdn_adc_mbblpd_m.htm

Product supplied per week, around twenty million barrels a day: http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_cons_wpsup_k_w.htm (this number is larger because of refinery gains and the counting of natural gas liquids and ethanol).

And here, US petroleum product EXPORTS:

http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_move_wkly_dc_NUS-Z00_mbblpd_w.htm

Sixty-one thousand barrels per day of crude oil, and 3.6 million barrels per day of finished product of which a third is diesel fuel.

And the raw materials the US exports to China? Copper, aluminium, and coal. The raw materials that the US imports from China? Rare-earth metals. The Chinese can get their copper and aluminium from other sources. The US can't get rare-earth metals anywhere else.

I'm not the one who has some reading up to do.
