China's Foreign Reserves Rise to $2.45 Trillion
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: July 11, 2010

BEIJING (AP) -- China's foreign reserves reached $2.45 trillion dollars by the end of June, a 15.1 percent increase year on year, the central bank said Sunday.

However, its reserves increased by only $7.2 billion in the second quarter, a sharp drop from the first quarter when it grew by $126.5 billion, according to the People's Bank of China.

The reserves are closely watched in the United States, where China recycles its trade surpluses by buying Treasury securities and other government debt.

It took China a decade to accumulate its first $1 trillion in foreign reserves by 2006 but growth skyrocketed as trade boomed and the total passed $2 trillion last April. It surged to $2.4 trillion by the end of 2009.

China is the U.S. government's biggest foreign creditor but has trimmed its Treasury holdings by several billion dollars in recent months.

5 Kingdoms went down. US amassed all the power. USSR raise as countervailing power.

USSR went down 20 years ago. US fate is to readjustment.

We have no kingdom -as a center of power- for the first time in human history.

For the first time in history great powers go down peacefully.

See Japan, Europe and US today.

Last time five great powers (China's Qing, Otoman, British, Romanoff and HABSBURG Austro-Hungarian) went down with big death toll: WW I and WW II.

While China's Qing, Otoman, Romanoff and HABSBURG Austro-Hungarian went out for good, English and Germans still want to hold on. WW II sorted that out.

Today Japan, Europe and US great powers are in for their right-sizing. The financial crisis is a symptom of this.

Thsiu time, as you correctly say: Monsieur Le Market is sorting out countries...
