News report in reverse chronological order:

(1) Roger Cohen, The Dragon's Swagger. New York Times (NYT), Jan. 12, 2010 (
available now).
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/opinion/12iht-edcohen.html

My comment: Appearing in the web site of New York Times, the column could be
published in International
Herald Tribune, a Paris-based subsidiary of NYT Company.

(2) Robert Guy Matthews, China's Growing Hunger for Steel Dominates Sector; Rising Production Looks Unlikely to Exceed Demand, Propelling Prices Higher World-Wide for Raw Materials. Wall Street Journal, Jan. 11, 2010.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748703535104574646600280362462.html
("China is expected to produce a record 600 million metric tons this year—about half the world's total output. The next biggest producer, Japan, will make just one-sixth of what China is expected to produce. The U.S. was fourth in production, behind Russia, last year.")

My comment: The fifth paragraph from the bottom explains that the demand is domestic that drives China's steel industry.

(3) China's export prospects | Fear of the dragon: China’s share of world
markets increased during the
recession. It will keep rising. Economist, Jan. 7, 2010.
http://www.economist.com/businessfinance/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15213305

My comment: A good article.

(4) The China-ASEAN free-trade agreement | Ajar for business; More breadth
than depth. Economist, Jan.
7, 2010.
http://www.economist.com/world/asia/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15211682

My comment: Please read the last paragraph only.

(5) John W. Miller and Marcus Walker, China Dethrones Germany as Top Goods
Exporter. "Wall Street
Journal, Jan. 6, 2010.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126272143898416853.html

The last two paragraphs:

"Germany's primary economic problem isn't that they country exports too
little, but that its own consumers
don't spend enough, which holds back its domestic service sectors, many
economists say.

"'Service sectors are more important for jobs that export industries, which
tend to be very capital-
intensive,' says Elga Bartsch, an economist at Morgan Stanley in London.

My comment: There is no need to read the rest of the WSJ report.
