2009 Ending Note (Supplement)


One good picture is worth a thousand words...

Can China alone pull the world out of the mess?

I prefer to look at the numbers. Numbers don't lie: China has 20% of the world's population, 7% of world GDP, 6% of world land area, below 100th in average income.

Imports 1.2trillion from Japan 13%/EU 12%/South Korea 11%/Taiwan 9%/US 7%. Export 1.4 trillion to EU 20%/US 18%/HK 14%/Japan 8%. Most of these countries/regions are at recession.

See you next year!
