2011 has ushered in a new era for China. In the past year, China has surpassed Japan to become the world’s #2 economy (second only to the U.S.), and to become the U.S.’ largest creditor. With a huge trade surplus with the U.S. (over $250 billion a year), an astoundingly rapidly growing economy, and a large population with an increasing demand for better goods and services, China has now also become the world’s largest, most exciting and attractive new market for goods and services produced from all over the world.
