The big Bite

BEIJING: China is growing so fast it creates some sort of world record every week. With 1.4 billion people, China has more mobile phones than any other country. It has more high-speed rail lines and wind power. It has more Internet users. It is also the world's biggest importer of minerals. It has already dislodged Germany from pole position as the world's number one exporter. Just a few weeks ago, China became the world's biggest guzzler of energy, though it accepted this particular position with great reluctance.
