Chinese Economy A Bright Spot
The People's Republic of China has the fastest-growing economy it has seen since the 1970s. Growth is at an average of 10% per year over the past 3 decades. It is third in size only after the United States and Japan. China economy is growing at a fast pace, and the future is promising. Chinese stocks have been top performers in the past few years.
China had little effect on the world economy before the latter part of the 1980s. It took nearly a decade for economic reforms of the late 1970s to have an impact. Growth was generated in investments, consumerism and the living standards of many citizens.
People who formerly lived in poverty have been elevated to a better standard of living. The fate of the 53% living in poverty in 1981 improved life for all but 2.5% in 2005. Poverty, however, is defined differently in China. Actually, 10.8% of the people live on less than a dollar a day. This rate takes exchange rates into account.
China has grown into a world power and is a fine example for developing countries to follow. China's immense geographic area, populated by a large population makes it influential. It has an impact on the economy of the entire world.
Smaller developing countries would have to scale their activities to fit their size. Using capital investment to promote growth is working in China. It has been made more profitable by giving incentives to private businesses. Placing a focus on rural as well as urban areas has proved successful.
A stronger exchange rate for the yuan, if achieved, would be beneficial. It would lower the price of imports and lessen the demand for imports. Growth of services and consumption would be preferable to growth of industry and investments.
The full potential of production and exporting of goods has almost been reached. In spite of a depressed worldwide economy, China economy is growing at a fast pace. Prospects are even more promising that at the high point of financial crisis in the world. China's already successful economy remains as likely to continue growing as it ever was.
