China & Logistics:
China overtook the US and became the world’s largest trading nation in 2013, which is described as “a landmark milestone” by Beijing for the country. China’s annual trade in goods exceeded the $4tn (£2.4tn) mark for the first time last year according to official data, after exports from the world’s second-largest economy rose 7.9% to $2.21tn and imports rose 7.3% to $1.95tn.
It is widely acknowledged that China’s rapid growth over the past few decades has been remarkable, and so it is the same with it’s’ influence in the world economy and in international affairs. To some countries, this is a threat, while to others, it is a promise, but for many, it is a mystery.
China’s domestic transport system continues to constitute a major constraint on economic growth and the efficient movement of goods and people. Railroads, some still employing steam locomotives, provide the major means for freight haulage, but their capacity cannot meet the demand for the shipment of coal and other goods. In addition, roads and waterways are providing an increasing proportion of China’s overall transport.
