Santas little helper
Totallycoolpix as allways on the big eastern dragon.
China’s economy is growing at a rate Western countries can only dream of. As a country it overtook Japan last year as the second biggest economy in the world and it looks as if they are gunning for the top spot. China produces almost everything we consume today. It has become the world’s factory. Great in one way as it’s cheap labor keeps prices down, enabling more and more people of increasing their standard of living. However, this results in jobs being lost to China across the world. From the poor chicken farmer’s of Africa to the machine makers of the US. If we start to buy local we pay a higher price but keep local people in work. If we keep buying from China we save money but keep their people in work. It’s a careful balancing act we are still trying to perfect, just as China is trying to balance modern capitalism with it’s cultural heritage which is rural life.

Britt baisse om Kina
Britterna tycks gilla Kina baisse, lite
tankar i dagens The Telegraph.
Kina kan ha drabbats av "Lewis vändpunkt", uppkallad efter Nobel ekonomen Arthur Lewis från St Lucia. Det är ögonblicket för varje catch-up i ekonomin när utbudet av billig arbetskraft från landsbygden torkar upp, vilket leder till en uppsving i industriella löner. Denna reservarmé av billig arbetskraft från Kinesiska landsbygden har krympt drastiskt till en bråkdel av vad den var.
