10 Ways A China Blow-Up Will Slam America

Beware a surprise economic crash in China.

The country is expanding like crazy, and while this may look great in the short term, there are many signs that the country's economic path is clearly unsustainable.

The government itself realizes the problem, but must balance the country's bubble concerns with the zealous economic expectations of its population, and most importantly, the massive need… » Full Story on Clusterstock.com

China's stimulus package, although smaller than the US package, is a far greater percentage of their GDP. This is why their "recovery" occurred faster than the US, but it hides the underlying problem that the good numbers are still occurring at the higher levels of the economy and that there is going to be a coming downside to this stimulus roller coaster ride. What happens to China will be a harbinger of what happens to the USA at the overall level.

Managing change is difficult. China has the advantage of dictitorial control, but as it's population becomes more exposed to modern thought it will be less and less effective.

worrysome.

"China has the advantage of dictitorial control, but as it's population becomes more exposed to modern thought it will be less and less effective."

Singapore is both a dictatorship (ok, a dictatorial oligarchy) and over 75% ethnic Chinese but yet, it's been able to function both, as a western business friendly nexus and a local services/export dynamo for southeast Asia. There are neither political nor economic fissures between Singapore and the EU or US/Canada.

All and all, I don't see the need for mainland China to be a whole lot different than its neighboring govt, as a long term prospect, where in effect, the govt functionally goes from communist to fascist, red to black.

A Chinese contraction will play out differently than a US contraction. China has a surplus budget and is ahead of the US in efficient energy infrastructure. Bush should have been building new energy resources in America instead of starting two wars that he could not finish. $1trillion spent on war could have been spent on nuclear power, a new grid and capping off coal-burning plants to lower emmisions. Bush really blew it.

The Chinese economy has some of the same flaws that ours is taking on, to much centralized control.
Free markets with government oversight, to keep the field as level as possible is what will allow entrepreneurs to create wealth, and jobs. We are moving closer to a Mercantile system than capitalism.

The Chinese economy, funded by America. With imports from America taxed through VAT's, Duties, and Tariffs by up to 200%, example.. automobile tires that would cost $100.00 in USA if imported into China will cost $247.00. We sit by idle as they continue to take our jobs while we just increase our taxes on the money we do make here and give it to our government to give away to foreign countries...?? WTF??

China's balloon will pop. They all do and it is the economic law. Print more money to ward it off, only goes on so long. Then so long to wealth and the economy.

When China retrenches companies like wal*mart will fold much faster than they grew. Bet on it.

Asian growth is out of control. A trash island in the Pacific Ocean the size of Alaska! No pollution contols on manufacturing and automobiles: Filthy air and filthy ocean. Illegal garbage dumps are everywhere. All so Asian stocks can pay that dividend. I read Vincent's article, and I disagree. We need not have a fear mentality regarding China's sustained growth or lack there of. We should fear their total disregard for the planet, and their utter stupidity as they enter the world stage. We should cut their 600 million potential solgiers in half, literally, maybe that would get their attention.

just because you hear about an economic boom going on in china doesn't mean all chinese are benefitting from it.

I'll bet there is more corruption going on than you would care to hear of.

If China stumble the US also Japan will fall hard and break their teeth. However then export market for China will shrivel.
Next China will fall hard a break her teeth.
Not so good for many countries.
Hope this does not happen but while hope for the best many prepare for the worst.

The only government more corrupt than China,is right here with this present administration..One year with Nobama..and this is his record,One year after Barack Obama won the 2008 election the biggest "change" he can point to is that he's our first black president and he's not President Bush! ..Thats not mentioning his 10 Trillion dollar debt,More Socialist in the white house than Hitler had with him in Germany,,& least we forget ..the Only Muslim president,that won't even own up to it..he'd rather hide behind his 20 yrs with Rev. Wright..the only president that won't place his hand over his heart..during the playing of the national anthem..Gee what a guy

An economic crash in China will not slam America as a whole. It will slam those select few at the top of the economic pyramid who profit from sending America's jobs to foreign markets, such as China. The big slam already occurred for those millions put out of work when their jobs were sent to China for the sake of the almighty "bottom line". This country did just fine when China's imports were limited to relatively novelty items. It was when the steel, lumber, auto, pharmaceutical, and other jobs critical to the stability of the U.S. were allowed to be sent overseas.

China has learned free enterprise....now they need to let the rest of their citizens enjoy it .. This must be a slow process, as pandemonium could occur if too much freedom is allowed all at once. I think , eventually they will be like we used to be and we will become like they were. Unfortunate for us.
