For example, Japan’s trade statistics for May indicate that exports to the United States increased at a double-digit pace year on year, to around ¥5.1 trillion, while exports to China were sluggish, reaching ¥4.8 trillion. Indeed, the US has overtaken China as Japan’s main export market, as America’s economy, too, recovers from half-a-decade of sluggishness.
日本重现增长之时正逢发展中世界纷纷面临经济不确定性抬头。比如，日本5月贸易统计数字表明对美国出口同比增长达到了两位数，至5.1万亿日元左右，而对中国出口毫无亮点，只有4.8万亿日元。事实上，随着美国经济从五年停滞中走出，美国已经取代中国成为日本主要出口市场。
