China’s Economic Growth: Grounds for Skepticism?

  • By Bill Conerly
  • In Economy
  • 1 comment

China’s economic growth topped 11 percent in the first quarter, which is pretty darn fast.  For comparison, we think that long-run U.S. growth is about 3 percent.  (Both figures are inflation adjusted.)

There are skeptics.  Macroblog has a good commentary on some of the limitations involved.

I’m preparing an in-depth commentary for a future issue of the Businomics Audio Magazine.  The gist of my current thinking is that China’s growth will continue for some time, but long before they surpass the U.S. or European economies, they’ll be constrained by a wide variety of institutional limitations.

    This should not be skepticism, but rather surety that there will be a recession. The time and place is yet to be determined but I would be slow to buy into the market until the first Great China Banking crisis occurs. It will be a second Asian market crisis, just watch and see. That is a sure promise… it comes with development in EVERY nation. Every nation which is developing has its own wake up call for their banking system which ultimately translates into a serious recession. Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die.
    Respectfully,

Testimonials

Dr. Bill Conerly opened our Ace Hardware Platinum Retailer Conference by helping our independent small business owners understand the current state of the economy in a straight forward and humorous manner that connected very well with the retailers I spoke with. Dr. Conerly provided information our retailers can use to lead their businesses. He connected with the audience and made a complicated topic understandable.

Andrea Gold, Gold Stars Speakers Bureau
We asked Bill Conerly to look at one of the major factors limiting the growth of our business. He pulled together data from a wide range of sources, as well as his own extensive business knowledge, to give us an insight into when conditions would improve and how we could be ready to capitalize on better times. He did so in a straight forward, easy to understand manner. A year later it was clear that things had evolved just as he had forecast. Ever since then he’s been my go-to guy on how the e…
