China Tells

China’s Foreign Reserve tops the world’s central banks by a far margin. According to the latest stats in 2009, China holds a total of 2273 Billion USD of foreign reserve, which is more than double of that of Japan, the second largest foreign reserve holder. The other countries that have huge reserves are: Eurozone, Russia, Taiwan, India, South Korea, Brazil, HK, Germany and Singapore. Most of these economies are export oriented. China is world’s No.1 exporter with the biggest trade surplus (See Graph from Chinatells).

中国外汇储备稳居世界第一，在09年达到2万2千亿美元，比位居第二的日本多出1倍多。这主要由于中国巨大的贸易盈余。中国在09年超越德国成为世界第一出口大国，不断积累大额贸易顺差。当然这也不一定是件好事，辛辛苦苦积累了那么多储备，大部分都是美元，价值还是由美国说了算，到头来反而成为一桩头痛的事情。
