you are right, china's economic boom is slowing down however the 8.5%, 8% e.t.c. is a dream to many other countries. the US rarely exceeds 4% and unemployement in the US is at around 8.6%. the problem with the US and the EU is that they are addicted to cheap stuff! their new religion called materialism (i.e. 3 million Ipad 3 sold in 3 days) will keep them facing east. they are killing their own industries. this is where they need to decide to expand their internal capacity yet again before imposing levies else they will end up in another crisis where the need to buy cheap electronics is not satisfied.

Boss. thats interesting statistics. Isn't investment in FA a very good thing, given its investing in new production capacity, which in turn increases future exports. why do you say its unsustainable?

IPad is built by people earning $14 a day and after many years...$28 that's starting at 33,600 bob a month and ending at 67,200 bob(assuming you work 30 days a month).

@Masukuma
First US economy is driven mainly by services and consumption so being able to sell 3 million Ipad is a good thing, China Economy on the other hand is driven by manufacturing and sales so Chinease being able to export their manufactured goods is a good thing.
8.5% is great for China economy remember china has a big room to grow, per capital income in US is just over 10 times that of china

On thing that has made US the largest economy it their technology innovation, currently the work that is done by 20 persons in chinease mines is done by 1 person in US mines, thats is the difference of technology know how thats explain the corporate espionage, the chinease goverment have to turn their back on these espionage because they understand that for them to be able to compete with countries like US they need technology and it take years to come up with these things especially when you have the best research institutions in US and a tone of money invested in these colleges for over 150 years.

@Bkismat
China cannot survive without the US or EU markets for a couple of reasons, politically unemployment of over 6% will cause a collaps of chinease ruling government, to get that 6% you just have to cut the toy sells to USA and millions of people will lose their jobs in China.

@ gathinga
Investment in FA is a good thing to some extend but the diminishing marginal benefit and increasing marginal cost make it unsustainble, Atleast 50% of China real growth comes from Investment in real estate and it has been for decades now and thats is a big problem because there is how much an economy can take and it is reaching that point in china, there is alot of skyrises in china now that are unoccupied and out of reach to the common chinese, the government invested in rail road when the world economy started to slow down to stumulate their economy; you're not going to build roads and houses forever, and it is reaching that point in China.

@Masukuma

China cheap labor is also unsustainable, there is a big pressure at the moment to increase wages in china as more and more people is pull out of poverty so paying $10 a day will not be sustainable in will be $20 then $80 as people meet their basic needs and start demanding for wants

@ Masukuma
Labor cost? We all know that labor cost is growing everywhere in the world because it should, the difference between labor cost in US and China is the rate of growth and the rate is not slowing down, while US wages is growning by apprx 2%, China is growing by double digits. A couple of things can will make these componies stay in China, 1) Market 2) No options.
