Overall, China’s trade surplus has decreased by 36% in absolute US dollar terms, and has dropped by more than half (53%) in proportion to GDP over the past two years. So the ratio of China’s current-account surplus to GDP is down to 4.6%, significantly below the recent peak of 11.3%, reached in 2007.
但实际上，中国2010年的贸易顺差总额较2009年下降了6.4%，更何况之前的2008年已经在经济危机及后续衰退的影响下跌去了30%。总体来说，中国的贸易顺差按绝对美元计算已经下跌了36%，占GDP的比例也在过去两年中下跌了超过一半（53%）。因此中国经常帐户盈余占GDP的比例已经下降到4.6%，显著低于2007年的高峰11.3%了。
