Last time I was in China I was told that the boom in construction in Shanghai is so intense that its street maps have to be redone every few months.
It's a useful image for China itself - because China is the boom that is redrawing the map. It's redrawing the economic map.
When we in Europe and the US see China from the outside, we see an export powerhouse. We also see a market for our own goods and services.
