China número 1 em exportações

FRANKFURT (AFP) - – China and its population of 1.3 billion has overtaken Germany, population 82 million, as the world's top exporter, trade figures from the German national statistics office showed on Friday. From January to November, Chinese exports were worth 1.07 trillion dollars, while German data showed that exports from Europe's biggest economy amounted to 734.6 billion euros, or 1.05 trillion dollars. The widely-expected crowning of a new export champion should be confirmed when Germany releases full-year 2009 trade figures on February 9.
