DescriptionChina's August goods exports: $68 billion

US July goods exports: $75 billion

China should start exporting more goods than the USA in late 2005/ early 2006. That is rather impressive. It means that China is now too big not to play a bigger role in the management of the world economy -- and to take more responsibilty for the constructive resolution of global imbalances.

A Chinese trade surplus of $122 billion implies a current account surplus of around $140 billion - or roughly 7.5% of Chinese GDP. In other words, China's current account surplus looks to be the mirror image of the US current account deficit.
