Description

Growth in the global economy and world trade is
now being driven by Asian countries, particularly
in the emerging markets of China and India.
According to the Canadian Trade Commission,
China’s Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen
container ports handled 56 million 20-foot
equivalent container units (TEUs) in 2005.
China’s international trade is expected to double
by 2010 and quadruple by 2020. What do these
numbers mean for Canada? There is a huge
opportunity for expanding trade and commerce
through national transportation gateways.
