Why is China's Economy Slowing Down?

[IPen]

Japanese originally are from Zhejiang Region of China, most of the Yayoi Jidai is marked with massive immigration of people from present day 吳越. This is why, if you look at ancient Japanese anthropology, it is identical to ancient anthropology of 吳越. If you listen to people who speak 吳 dialect(s), it sounds very similar to spoken Japanese.

You probably don't know this do you? And not alot of Japanese know this, but i took graduate courses in Ancient Chinese History as well as Japanese History --- and you learn a lot. Original Sinitic colonizers of what is now Japan --- are from Zhejiang Region of China.

Wenzhou Dialect, to me, sounds almost very similar to Japanese lexicon.

I don't know. So when ancient Chinese migrated to Japan and are there any proofs?

Migration started over 2000-2500 years ago, and very little , if any, written script was made during the time of the initial migration. However, oral history, was preserved, and it was noted, centuries later.

In Chinese classical literature, at least two texts mention the prehistory of Japan.

Wei Zhi - Dong Yi Chuan (Official history of Wei, about Eastern Strangers, /Gishi-touiden/ -- jp, or known as /Gishi-wajinden/) reports about Japanese in AD 3c. Beside a description of the female governor and the tattooed faces of men, there is a part that says, "When asked, everyone answered they were descendants of TaiBo of Wu."

Sima Qian (/Shibasen/ -- jp) wrote that Xu Fu (/Johuku/ -- jp) said to Shi Huang Di of Qin (/Shikoutei/ of /Shin/), that he was leaving for the Eastern Sea to search for a medicine for eternal life in Fenglai (/Hourai/ -- jp) islands, which the Chinese people consider to be Japan. He left with about 3000-6000 people, but didn't come back because he became the king there. Settlement occurred.

Let me say this: Dr. Li is right -- the greatest threat now is inflationary worries -- which might be touted by some politicians in China as a quick fix to growth slow down. True, by favoring inflation, growth may increase, however, it may cause prices to increase --- and this will affect export prices. So, it has to balance inflation, at the same time, increasing domestic consumption ! The anemic growth rate of Europe, the Americas -- both the largest consumer of Chinese products -- is an area of concern. Thus, priority should be not to rely solely on the West's consumption, but to invest in tapping more on China's domestic market.

I stand with Dr. Li --- Inflationary worries are real. And i would add that -- that is what Japan did in the 1980s , specially seen after the Plaza Accord. Inflation severely affected our exports, and quantitative easing -- had unforeseen long term effects for us. I pray China evades the same mistake that Japan made.

agreed. concerns are real. certain sectors will stagnate or even contract while consumption related sectors prosper, the balance is hard but CCP does have lots of tools in their hands.
i'm cautiously optimistic of chinese economy as long as CCP is doing reforms according to plan. it's those small commodity export dependent countries (not even russia) we should be worry about now...
ironically, US and china will stand still in current situation while the rest is suffering....

Both China and the United States are just "Too Big" to fail.

China is going to break down again and again.Some western medias have been claimed that for half a century.


But in China,there are about 7 million of university graduates this year,730 million of educated workers and about 80 million of absolute poverty.We have basic perfect infrastructure,education system and politic structure,it means only when they refuse hard working and improving living condition,the development wheel of China will stop.

I know most of you guys have a calorie deficit due to lack of food and thus bad concentration but at least read who the writer is. Minqi Li doesn't sound very "western" to me. Also if it was a westerner writing this article. It shouldn't matter where he is from but which arguments he uses.

Guys, Ive dealt with this kebab clown numerous times. Just bring up the collapse of the Ottomans and he will go away while trying to hide the tears inhis eyes.

China's economic slowdown is by design. A soft landing to transition the economy to a more domestic consumption based one. If China weren't slowing down, then Atatawolf would find an article claiming China was doomed due to economic overheating.

He's not actually interested in the truth about China's economy. He's just mad because China "oppresses" his Uighur "brothers" - the same people he's too cowardly to support in person and the same people Turkey is too weak and chickenshit to do anything for. As a result, atatwolf is only brave enough to post nonsense on PDF.

But just for you @atatwolf. If there's ever to be any hope of you "freeing" your Uighur brothers, you'll have to kill these people in the pictures below. Oh what's that? They're patriotic Chinese Uighurs and they wouldn't hesitate to kill Turkish scumbag terrorists on sight? Uh oh...back to the drawing board for atatwolf. Maybe you're better off finding crackpot articles about China collapsing after all.

The last picture is the best. China is not a discriminatory society. We see two ethnic Uighur PLA officers. A first lieutenant and a captain from the looks of it. I bet they had a hand in crushing the unrest in Xinjiang a few years back. The future is bright for these two loyal and patriotic Chinese citizens and the sky's the limit for them. Coming to crush terrorists near you...

lol, the reality is had to swallow for that chicken Turk who is all talk but no action. As helpless as he seems to be surfing the web in search for China collapse stories is the only way to vent his frustration.

Going over to domestic consumption. Haha. Can you explain to me how? Most of you baboons can't even afford 2000 calories per day. Economic slowdown is NOT by design but by decrease of foreign consumption. Economic slowdown will continue because foreign consumption will decrease within this decade. You are f-ed either way. On top of that, cheap production will be taken over by these countries in the future.

I don't think China will be able to make that transformation. Its economy slowed down too early. Still most of China's population lives in abject poverty. There is no domestic economy. There is no way for China to make the transformation within the coming decades. The rich class in China are leaving. There is huge capital outflow. How are you going to make that transformation? There are also other socioeconomic factors like average population of China reaching 40 years while being a third world country. Compared to the last decades China is also loosing competitiveness. Newly developing economies in East-South Asia and Africa are taking market share from China at a rapid pace. The writing is on the wall.

You're joking right?
Watch China make the transformation. At 7% growth rate for two decades they will easily manage to make the leap.

Actually, China was averaging 2970 calories/day per person in 2007. I'm sure it's higher now. The minimum requirement per the UN is 1800 calories/day. You fail at even basic trolling.

He's like the turkish version of BoQ77. All talk, no action. Meanwhile, unlike @atatwolf , look at this brave Uighur-Chinese proudly serving his country in the PLA. I wonder how many pan-Turkish terrorists he's killed in his time? Probably a lot.

Guys please stop it.

Obviously that US-fanboy is a fucking retard, and nothing else. I even doubt that he is actually a Turk. Because Turks actually love Russia and China more than the west for obvious reasons (not religious reasons).

The relationship between Turkey and China have been improving in a steady pace as well. I for one see no logical reason why Turkey should be hostile towards China. And I foresee that our relationships will improve anyway.

And again, he is just a butthurt person guys. Everyone on earth knows that China right now is the strongest economy in general. It is as huge as US and it keeps growing at rates like 7%-10%, which are NOT REALLY SMALL!

Such economies growing that fast.. China will surely start dominating the world alone after a while and who disagrees with this solid fact is a blind retard, and that is it.

So please do not go for "RACISM" here. Our country is also a good country, we indeed have our own problems and our region in general is a zone that constantly creates new problems. Things are not that simple here in the middle of everything, but you can trust me on that we, the human-beings living in this area, are doing our best to improve ourselves.

I hope to see more cooperation between China and Turkey over time, just like we are improving with Russia very fast specifically the last times. And as there is no reason for Turkey and China to have bad relationships (uihgurs? They have their own special area and are free to go to another country if they want to. No one really forces them to do anything specific.), I also see no reason for people like you here to go racist against each other.

Chill guys, do not forget that we will look at each other's faces here tomorrow again

The slowdown in the Chinese growth rate was absolutely necessary.

Continuing at double-digit growth (after three decades already) based on an "investment-fueled" growth model would have only led to a lot of waste and inefficiency.

We have known for a long time now, that we need to find more sustainable growth model.

That's the reason why China is currently undergoing massive economic reforms, we are currently re-balancing our growth model, and that will require us to slow down to 7% growth rates if we want to be able to sustain it for a long period of time.

Indeed this should not be seen as a slowdown it should be seen as Stabilization
It's time for other countries to grow fast now like India which has a lot of potential for growth right now
