40. Will China Succeed in Reversing its Economy Decline?

41. All indicators point in one direction : China’s downturn will be significant ; the question is ‘how hard the landing will be?’ “China’s Financial Status looks like Wall Street before the Crash” “Countries that depend on China for trade represent 40% of global GDP. “ So if China really does go into decline, it is going to take a lot of countries down with it”. ----- Jim Chanos

42. According to well known investment guru George Soros, the concern is that the Chinese government is prioritizing growth over debt, and allowing debt to spiral out of control. Much of this debt is bad debt; it will not be repaid. Most growth is dependant upon credit, any tightening of credit (or debt) will lead to recession.

43. Since China is a socialist market economy and decision making is by a collective leadership, China’s political leaders could delay dealing directly with these problems for a few years. Because of global inter-dependence, the US led developed countries do not want China to collapse and may actually co-ordinate economic policy making with China.

44. President Obama has reportedly said: We are unhappy that China is ahead of us but we will be even more unhappy if China descends into chaos. Is China just too big to fail?
