China's Export Numbers Miss Expectations

[Jlaw]

A very small reason? Kidding me.
For this year, Chinese Yuan rises up by about 14%, while Chinese export for 1st quarter 2015 combined still rises up 4.7%. Don't forget the world's trade value has been dramatically shrinking so far for this year. That means the market share in terms of value for Chinese goods is expanding rapidly. Look at your India's case, you got 13% export down YtoY for Jan and Feb combined, that is 17.7 percentage points lower than China. However, u guys are still smart enough to generate beautiful "growth" data to become the "fastest economy growing" country in the world, the title India has been dreaming for a long time.

No problem. If China use Indian Vedic math for calculation, we would have suprass the benchmark!

use it wisely and help spread liquidity in the Chinese economy. It certainly is working in the west.

China's growth will slow down. It is now a middle income country with highly developed infrastructure, education and healthcare system. It is far easier for some third world dump to hit above 10% growth rate than it is for a semi-developed economy to hit 5% growth. In developed countries, even 3% growth rate is considered phenomenal. The trick for China now is breaking through the middle income trap and transform into a "greener" economy. Automation is the future of manufacturing and service sector, not mass number of people.

Just let the Indians have their collective orgasm. They need all the ammo they can get their hands on. Let me put it this way, if China's growth rate was 6% this year, it would have added a more substantial number to its overall size compared to growing at 11% ten years ago.
