CHINA: China's trade dominance dealt a blow after US gains (FT)

- Analysts are tentatively calling it "peak China". The country's position as

the leading global exporter for the past two decades has been dealt a blow after

it lost ground to the US in the first six months of this year. America became

the bigger supplier out of the two superpowers to eight countries over the first

half, including France, Austria, Zimbabwe and Lebanon. China added just three

entries to the list of countries where its exports eclipse the US: Bhutan,

Luxembourg and Venezuela. The shift has raised the prospect that China has

reached the limits of its global trade domination, allowing others, including

the US and India, to increase their shares.
