Hey there! Did you know that China plays a super important role in how things get shipped all around the world? ππ’
Jens Eskelund, who works for a big shipping company called Maersk, said that China moves more than one-third of all the containers shipped globally! That’s like one out of every three boxes that travel on ships! π²π¦
He mentioned this at an event called the China Development Forum. He also said that when it comes to exporting goods (that’s sending things to other countries), no other country can compare with China! π
This means that many of the toys, clothes, and gadgets we use might have traveled from China across the ocean to reach us! Isn’t that cool? π’π
Understanding how countries like China help move things around the world helps us see how connected everyone is! πβ€οΈ
