    Chinese Supremacy. (from an American site.)

    Right now China is actually building a city larger than Manhattan just
    outside Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
    China is on the rise. If you doubt this, just read the following:
    # When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one
    trading nation on the entire planet.
    # Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade
    that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars.
    # China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.
    # China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
    # China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as the United
    States does.
    # After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint
    ventures with Chinese companies.
    # China is the number one gold producer in the world.
    # The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China.
    # 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
    # The new World Trade Centre tower in New York is going to include glass
    imported from China.
    # China now consumes more energy than the United States does.
    # China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire
    world.
    # China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
    # China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the
    entire globe.
    # China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the
    United States does.
    # China produces more than 90% of the global supply of rare earth elements.
    # China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to
    the operation of any national defence system.
    # In published scientific research articles China is expected to become
    number one in the world very shortly.
