i didnt save the links, and i think it meant the combined(?) exports+imports
to a specific region.eu is china's largest trading partner
africa is 2nd
usa is now the 3rd!
.
furthermore,
the following info taken from a newsletter:
"China is the fastest-growing foreign investor in the United States...
From 2005 to 2010, China's investment in the United States has
increased at an annual rate of 53%... But it's still a relatively
small player.
China is looking to make the move from merely being an exporter into a
large overseas investor. Despite the fact that it has the
second-largest economy in the world, China is only the fifth-largest
global investor.
As the rest of the world buckles and tries to find footing, and
emerging markets are no longer a guaranteed homerun, foreign
investment dollars are looking for stability and opportunity. And that
means the United States.
