This one originates from Australia , but it equally applies to this country.

Some hard facts on China

China has 19% of the world’s population, but consumes

53% of the world's cement

48% of the world's iron ore

47% of the world's coal

.... and the majority of just about every other major commodity.

In 2010, China produced 11 times more steel than the United States .

New World R ecord: China made and sold 18 million vehicles in 2010.

There are more pigs in China than in the next 43 pork producing nations combined.

China currently has the world’s fastest train and the world’s largest high-speed rail network.

China is currently the number one producer in the world of wind and solar power. But don’t use it themselves. While they manufacture 80% of the world’s solar panels,

They install less than 5% and,

build a new coal fired power station every week. In 1 year they

turn on more new coal powered electricity than Australia 's total output.

China currently controls more than 90% of the total global supply of rare earth elements.

In the past 15 years, China has moved from 14th place to 2nd place

in the world in published scientific research articles.

China now possesses the fastest supercomputer on the entire globe.

At the end of March 2011, China accumulated US$3.04 trillion

in foreign currency reserves - the largest stockpile on the entire globe.

Chinese consume 50,000 cigarettes every second …


They are already the largest carbon dioxide emitter and their output will rise 70% by 2020
