2. World's No 1 exporter

China edged past Germany in 2009 to become the top exporter, yet another sign of its rapid rise and the spread of economic power from West to East.

Total 2009 exports were more than $1.2 trillion. That was ahead of the 816 billion euros ($1.17 trillion) forecast for Germany by its foreign trade organization, BGA.

China's new status highlights its growing presence as an industrial power, major buyer of oil, iron ore and other commodities and, increasingly, as an investor and key voice in managing the global economy.

2、成为世界第一大出口国

2009年，中国超过德国，成为全球最大出口国，这是中国迅速崛起、世界经济重心东移的又一标志。

全年出口总额超过1.2万亿美元，超过德国贸易委员会对德国出口额所做出的8160亿欧元（1.17万亿）的预测。

这一事实表明中国日益成为一个工业化大国，成为石油、铁矿石和其它重要物资的主要购买者，并日益成为全球经济中的一个投资者，扮演重要角色。
