Last year China used 40% of world’s cement, 27% of world’s steel, 25% of the world’s aluminum, 30% of iron ore, and 31% of the world’s coal, as its growth continued to outpace each and every country in the world. Last year China used 7% of the world crude oil becoming the second largest oil consumer in the world. //
The Chinese economy, the 6thlargest in the world, is growing at and annual rate of around 9%, three times as fast as the Group of Seven industrialized economies. As US$1.24 trillion, China’s GDP is just 10%of that of US’s 11 trillion dollars and almost a third of Japan’s economy, the world’s second largest.//
In 2003, China’s imports grew by 41% to US$477 billion and exports grew by 40% to US$495 billion. In 2003 China surpassed Japan to become the third largest importing economy in the world after US and Germany. This makes China not just an exporter of products, but the third largest and most valued and coveted customer in the world.//
By the end of July 2003, China had attracted 446,441 foreign invested enterprises with a contractual value of 887.2 billion US dollars. Last year China attracted 52.7 billion US dollars earning China the number one rank by UNCTAD as the recipient of most Foreign Direct Investment in the world.//

5.7 billion RMB or USD 686 million on the “Blue Sky Project”, including RMB 3.5 billion or USD 421 million on desulfurization on flue gas.//
