the whole world is fast changing in China's favor

"China: half of world's new-car sales by 2020
Jez Spinks
May 3, 2011

The rapid growth of the Chinese car market could mean it would account for half of new car sale worldwide by 2020.

World's biggest car market set to become gigantic - with new-car boom predicted to reach 40 million sales by 2020.

China could account for half of the world’s new-car market by the end of the decade, according to industry experts.

The world’s most populous country already boasts the biggest car market globally, but its gap to second-placed North America is expected to widen dramatically by 2020.

China achieved a global record new-car sales figure of 18.06 million units in 2010, and the country’s manufacturers and officials are predicting the country will reach 40 million by 2020."

"Chinese to buy nearly half of world's luxury goods in 2020:
HONG KONG--Chinese customers are set to account for nearly half the world market in luxury goods and travel by 2020, a report by a Hong Kong-based investment group said Wednesday. "

"Rankings: Top 20 global cities of 2020, projected

By Andrew Nusca | April 18, 2011, 7:43 AM PDT

The fourth Knight Frank Global Cities Survey was recently published by Citi Private Bank, designed to monitor “city-level power shifts” by assessing global markets for investment opportunities and influence on business leaders worldwide.

The survey offered a list of the top 25 global cities of 2011, but also offered a number of other rankings — so many that we had to break them up into separate posts.

Below, the list predicting what would be the “world’s leading cities in 10 years’ time.”

Your Top 20 global cities of 2020, projected:

1. New York
2. London
3.Shanghai
4.Beijing
5.Hong Kong

The same British study that has made this prediction study for China also mentions in the report that Iran has the world's fastest growth rate in science and technology, producing roughly one percent of world's science. Iranian science shows world's fastest growth - SciDev.Net

China accounts for nearly 50% of global steel output

China’s Steel production rose to 59.42 million metric tons in March this year, out of the total 129 million metric tons globally, nearly 50% of world output.

China's share of world market copper consumption is expected to well exceed 40%.
China is the world's largest consumer of primary aluminum, accounting for about 43% of global consumption.

These are the kind of numbers that I like to see.

Future predictions are nice, but not worth much.

What is important are current facts like the ones above, and the sustainability of the growth rate in those factors.

Haha, I wish that Hong Kong will be ranked so highly by then.

I am sure that Beijing and Shanghai will be in the top five cities. Not sure about my home city though.
