POLITICS - In addition to being the world's biggest economy, China is now the world's biggest exporter. China is also the biggest auto market and steel maker.
According to figures released yesterday by China's customs agency 2009 exports were more than $1.2 trillion USD.
That beats the 816 billion euros ($1.17 trillion USD) for Germany, currently #2. (The USA is a close 3rd.)
This growth was despite continuing reports of fake consumer goods coming out of China which are frequently unsafe for consumer use. ie. Don't buy new brake pads or birth control pills made in China.
