China Emerged: Rethinking Your Global Strategy

But is this growth sustainable? The low consumption and high investment is due to the rudimentary welfare system; the rate of private consumption to GDP is going down.

China's international trade has been going up exponentially since about 2000, so did China's foreign exchange assets. But China is now rebalancing: retail is growing faster than GDP. However, the persisting strains on current economic, political and social systems are also becoming severe; for instance, poverty is still significant. Brazil is doing much better for they give subsidies to the poor. There has been severe environmental damage, because the system is based on promotion of officials based on ability to deliver GDP growth. Blue sky is actually rare in Beijing, but measures are taken to counteract this: government gives subsidies for investing in clean energy technologies, etc.

China started with a fragile economy with minimal infrastructure from frequent revolutions and invasions in 1949. In the early 1980’s, China’s economy was still extremely weak as a result of its inward looking government system of a socialist planned economy under the Mao government. This resulted in living standards below world averages and economic growth at nearly zero. China has risen from the edge of economic obscurity to lead the world in terms of economic growth, and this is done is just over a quarter of a decade.
