China is set this year to notch up more milestones on the way to trade superpowerdom. Not only is Beijing expected to rack up another record trade surplus with the US, it will also eclipse Japan to become the world's third largest importer - behind Germany and the US.


Zeng Peiyan, vice-premier, said this week that total trade this year would amount to about $800bn (€696bn, £476bn). Imports have grown at 40.5 per cent to $298.6bn in the first nine months and may reach about $395bn for the whole year, economists said.
