China can only stay above 5% GDP y/y increase
if
world economy recovers significantly
or
China inflation raises further
to compensate for export reduction employment and / or wages must raise so domestic demand growth

well well Dr.Ben always sheds crocodile tears on the weak labor market, the unemployment too high , US wages too low housing deteriorating .... but actually that is the best scenario for the FED. It is deflationary. The FED owns all greenbacks ever printed. FED has no intend of devalutaion.

i have to point out one thing, china stability is based on GDP growing. if GDP growing less than 5%, they will die soon.

so, i am not quite sure about what catnip said. i will wait and see, and stand still unless have any clear evidence in market.

old rumor, mayor of chongqing said that, "anyone who want to steal food from my plate, i will cut off their paws", and he did...

china is not an country that looks for expansion. its main concern is the inner stability growing the power level of its population. there is a state of mind that each population has.
the german krieg has been made just because germany was living in an enclave. the shift of instability has occured through time and geography back and forth.
few months ago i reencounter a chinese friend and we talked and during the talk i just told him that the central government is gonna boost the inner country. one have to know that what some of us are trying to do is simply gauging datas that has long term application for short term profit.
it takes 10 to 15 years to decide and meet all the prerequisite to build a pipeline for instance. it is the most capital consuming project, budgetarily, fiscally, and above all market conditions.

Thishttp://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-11/china-s-inflation-tops-5-adding-pressure-for-wen-to-raise-interest-rates.html sounds even worse
Broad money supply, or M2, rose last month by 19.5 percent, the fastest gain in six months, the Peoples Bank of China reported yesterday. M2 has surged 55 percent over the past two years and outstanding yuan-denominated loans have climbed to 47.4 trillion yuan, 60 percent more than in November 2008.

I see the day coming when the US says to China it has been really nice to meet you.

In terms of CPI and even more PPI China is in a desastrous situation. PPI reduces competitive
advantage also in domestic because the average worke and employee wage is far too low
to suppurt domestic market. If they hike that could be positive for domestic but negative for export. In fact PBOC must hike but will not until theres is no way out. The FED scores again and again. China is indeed a paper tiger. No nation can emerge into an industrial nation without entrepreneurs with social resoonsibility. China has no entrepreneurs only gamblers.
Anyway PPI and CPI and the stubbornees of PBOC send a clear signal China will not drive commodity rally anymore unless they blow up the credit volume even more.
Whatever they do they hit the same wall. Dr.Ben is one of this world's most clever guys.
He maneuvered the US economy right in the middle of a high inflationary China and a big savin' Europe.

I agree that Japan has a horrendous demographic problem looming, as does USA who need to take in large numbers of young working age immigrants but there are no jobs and not likely to be for some years ahead. UK and large areas of Europe have similar problems and with enormous pensions deficits which consecutive governments have ignored.

China have a variety of potentially destructive problems but it takes lots of time for a very old culture to change. They have made progress with change but we need to be patient and by that I mean many decades rather than months and years.

The world is in an almighty mess even without mentioning religious conflict. It will probably take 20 years yet just to deleverage financial systems. Let's hope the scientists can come to to the rescue in time so new industries can be created. Printing money or QE2 cannot go on forever and the power of the banks over government is a very real problem indeed.

I don't think any G.20 nation can claim to be whiter than thou. All have very real problems. We each need to be producing something useful other than spinning money around in circles. Ultimately the basic laws of nature will take hold unless government comes to its senses.

@ Qingyu. I did not write that China's problem is population. I wrote the structure of populations is the problem for USA, EU and Japan among other developed countries.
Read what I wrote again.
Best of luck!
