Where we're at

Welcome to Canada's new world. And China's, too. On this two-page map, which wraps around a special Saturday ROB, you'll see a statistical portrait of two countries, and two economies, in the midst of a deep transition. Canada's trade and investment with China is booming. We're selling more goods and services - and more rocks and trees - to China than ever. We're also falling behind our competitors, and badly lagging our potential. Inside today's ROB, we explain how and why, and see what's being done. For now, survey the world before you, and don't forget to go to globeandmail.com for a detailed interactive trade map. Consider it a curtain that's being raised on a very different century.
