>>likewise, China needs to get more realistic about depending on the US as a Consumption Monster.<<

Yes, China is preparing for the slowdown in the US. and that is why China spends billions in Latin America, and also a lot in Africa. The exports from China will continue to increase to Africa, South America, and other Asian countries. But the share of the US-China trade of the total China's trade will contine to decline.

Here is the US share of the total China's trade volume and y-o-y change (since joining WTO):


2002 15.7% -0.1%
2003 14.8% -0.9%
2004(1-11) 14.7% -0.3%


As for the revalue of RMB, who knows? But as I have said, even if appreciation of RMB for 10% will not help the US$ decline. We can just wait and see<g>.
