Mid-year slowdown needed

Less speedy manufacturing growth is the latest sign that China may be entering a new phrase in its hard fight against soaring inflation.

Chinese policymakers should make it clear that they are ready to endure a period of moderate growth long enough for a decisive change in inflationary expectations to take root in this country. [Full story]

Crucial period for economy

The uncertain external environment and dwindling external demand, together with all-inclusive macroeconomic policy regulation, have directly resulted in an economic decelerating in the world's second largest economy.

To smoothly push forward long-overdue economic restructuring and survive the period of transition, some sweeping and systematic reforms are badly needed to bring the world's second largest economy onto a normal and sustainable track.[Full story]

Strategies of innovation

Whether or not China can realize its ambitious strategy of developing itself into an innovative and creative nation will be decided to a large extent by whether it can boost the competitiveness of its homegrown technologies, its cultural power and the influence of domestic brands.

To facilitate this process, the country needs to take more concrete and effective measures to strengthen protection of its intellectual property rights (IPR) and innovation. [Full story]

Export engine hums along

A trade surplus of $13.1 billion in May can be interpreted as evidence of the cup being half full or half empty. It is higher than that in April and shows that Chinese exporters are faring well. But it is less than expected, underlining a pullback in global demand that bodes ill for export growth.

Exercising caution against reading too much into the data, which could change wildly from month to month, we believe that the world's second largest economy has kept its export engine humming and that is a good cause for optimism. [Full story]

People first, not GDP

For ordinary Chinese people, GDP was something linked to the building of skyscrapers complex and new roads. Many ordinary Chinese people, especially those low-income households, have come to realize that the country's double-digit GDP growth over the past decades has not substantially raised their living standards. On the contrary, for some of them their living standard has declined.

The lack of an accompanying increase in labor remuneration to match productivity over the past decades has become a top social issue in today's China. Its solution lies in effectively raising ordinary people's incomes and providing them with the means to share the country's economic fruits. [Full story]
