Source text - German Grundsätzliche Vorbemerkungen
Die Volksrepublik China hat sich in den letzten Jahren in vielerlei Hinsicht zu einer dominanten Größe im weltwirtschaftlichen Geschehen entwickelt. An populären Kategorien zur Veranschaulichung dieses Befundes herrscht keinerlei Mangel.
An erster Stelle ist dabei auf die Tatsache zu verweisen, dass diese Volkswirtschaft seit geraumer Zeit als größte Handelsnation der Welt gilt und mit seinen Ein- und Ausfuhren 10% des gesamten Welthandels abbildet. Nur logisch, aber gleichermaßen bemerkenswert erscheint im Gefolge dieser Stellung, dass die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Chinas in der letzten Dekade fast durchgehend durch eine im weltweiten Vergleich überdurchschnittliche BIP-Wachstumsrate geprägt war.
Spätestens dieser Befund lenkt den Blick aber auch auf die Schattenseiten der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung dieses Landes. So hat China bereits im Jahr 2011 die USA als weltgrößten Energieverbraucher abgelöst (Gu und Mayer, 2007). Der zur Deckung dieses Bedarfes erforderliche Mix an Energieträgern war und ist bis heute durch einen hohen Anteil an Kohle (in Spitzenzeiten über 70%) geprägt.
Translation - English Initial Considerations
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has left its domineering mark on world economy in more ways than one, over the past years. Popular conceptions are plentiful that prove this point.
Attention must be paid to the fact that the Chinese economy is currently - and has been for an extended period of time - the world’s biggest trading nation, claiming 10 % of imports and exports of the entire global trade. China’s economic position, as logical consequence but all the same remarkable, has been characterised by a steadily increasing above-average GDP growth rate during the last decade; by global comparison.
These findings also cast shadows over the economic development of this vast country, disclosing several downsides. Already in 2011, China surpassed the USA as the world's largest consumer of energy (Gu and Mayer, 2007). To meet energy demands, China’s energy mix heavily relies on coal consumption, which in peak times amounts to 70% of its overall energy consumption.
