China consumes most, report says


China has "eclipsed" the US as a consumer nation

From BBC:

China has overtaken the United States in the consumption of basic agricultural and industrial goods, a new survey says.

It is now the world's biggest consumer of grain, meat, coal and steel. Only in oil does the US consume more.

China is well ahead of the US in the consumption of goods such as television sets, refrigerators and mobile phones.

The Washington-based Earth Policy Institute says that China is now an emerging economic superpower.
