Those Crazy Aussies

China certainly is huge, makes other things look ridiculous.

Read to the end, the best fact is the last one.
China has 19% of the worlds population, but consumes
53% of the world's cement
48% of the world's iron ore
47% of the world's coal
And the majority of just about every other major commodity.
In 2010, China produced 11 times more steel than the United States .

New World Record: China made and sold 18 million vehicles in 2010.

There are more pigs in China than in the next 43 pork producing nations combined.



China has the worlds fastest train and the worlds largest high-speed rail network.

China is currently the number one producer in the world of wind and solar power.
But dont use it themselves.

They manufacture 80% of the worlds solar panels,
Theyinstall less than 5%and build a new coal fired power station every week.
In 1 year they turn on more new coal powered electricity than Australia 's total output.


China currently controls more than 90% of the total global supply of rare earth elements.

In the past 15 years, China has moved from 14th place to 2nd placein the world in published scientific research articles.




China possesses the fastest supercomputer on the entire globe.

And their output will rise 70% by 2020 !


And these little Vegemites are saving the planet ....
