dont get agitated, it can lead to Brain hemorrhage ( propaganda is good but works well until reality starts biting ) . blinders wont help for long ~ now the question is <> is china moving towards recession or slowdown . i guess it will be the former . i could post 20 websites and journals just to prove my point . having said that i will just enumerate few points which would support my perception which are as follows :-
1) reliability of chinese official data
2) repercussions on growth , based on unsustainable and unviable investment in infrastructure
3) weak domestic consumption economy
4) crash prone stock markets ( nearly 35 % market cap wiped out recently ), which will dampen the sentiments and confidence of pu tong ren in economic growth which needs massive domestic consumption based paradigm shift{sellers must become buyers of the goods mass produced ( repercussions of falling exports ) } . moreover there is no simple way to switch to a 'consumption-driven' economy without the growth rate both falling and staying permanently lower.
5) internal debt which is as high as 280 % of gdp will be another cause of trouble as money expecting an average 7 percent annual growth rate and only get an average 4 percent annual growth rate results in bankruptcies and financial crisis that lead to a recession.
6) strong dollar and weak yuan , how about that ? as after increase in rates in US will further make the dollar strong and to the contrary yuan because of falling exports will get needful devaluations consequently more trouble as yuan will lose its fake sheen against puny america ( this is chinese perception of usa now ) , moreover domestic consumption in US is far more strong when compared to china , so now a myth buster <> china manipulated yuan against dollar but what happens if uncle sam starts manipulating the dollar as economic indicators have started giving positive sings for us economy . us can survive on strong dollar but china wont on weak yuan
7) collapse of the workforce and a demographic crisis are imminent and scrapping one child policy wont make much difference in troubled times (20 years down the line )
None of your points are backed by data, all empty rhetoric, futuristic like fortune telling. On stock market fluctuation, how many crash prone markets in the world have had such track records? If there is more than one (check 1929, 1973, 1987, 1997, 2000, 2007, 2008, ...), it tells one thing, i.e. Nothing.
The most illiterate part is on "internal debt", you are making a complete fool out of yourself:
- Do you even know what's "Internal Debt"? Households of any country has Gross Domestic Savings, which through the financial institutions is partially turned into credits (loans, non-equity securities etc) for businesses aka Domestic Credit to Private Sector. The higher the savings, the more support for domestic debt market. Other than private sector, domestic portion of Government Debt is also part of "internal debt". Learn these before you talk like an illiterate, you don't have any savings in the bank or what?
- Now for Gross Domestic Savings, China ranks world #3 in savings rate (48.5% of GDP, only behind Qatar & Brunei, check CIA 2014), and world #1 in total amount (exceeding US$ 5 trillion per annum). However for Domestic Credit to Private Sector, economies with highly developed financial markets like US (195% of GDP), Hong Kong SAR (233%), UK (141%), Singapore (132%) and Japan (188%) lead the ranks. Only low savings nations with least developed financial markets like Afghanistan (3.8%), Sierra Leone (4.9%), Chad (7.8%) are at the bottom. Backed by ultra high savings rate, domestic credit market in China is yet to be grown further.
- Then let's see Government Debt. China is 41.06% of GDP, you see a problem? While Brazil is 58.91%, india 66.1%, Euro Zone 92.1%, US 102.98%, Japan 230%, ...
