Contrary to some recent research reports cited in the press I do not think we have seen any substantial rebalancing of the economy towards consumption in 2011. This is largely an argument being made by economists who did not see why Chinese consumption repression was all along at the heart of the growth model. These economists are now too quick, I think, to hail evidence of a surge in consumption, but I find the evidence very weak and more importantly I am convinced that there cannot be a sustainable surge in consumption as long as the investment-driven growth model is maintained and as long as debt continues to rise unsustainably. And as for debt, it is still rising quickly. As regular readers know I have always argued that the rise in Chinese debt, as bad as it is, was not going to lead to a banking collapse or any other sort of financial collapse because of the way local and specific debt problems would be “resolved”.Will China Break? - NYTimes.com

L'appel de l'Occident de retirer le titre de pays émergent à la Chine constitue un complot Les nouvelles expressions sont sans cesse lancées depuis le forum Davos qui se tient actuellement en Suisse. Certains dirigeants des milieux commerciaux occidentaux ont suggéré de retirer le titre de « pays émergent » à la Chine. Selon M. Zhou Shijian, membre permanant du conseil de China Society for World Trade Organization Studies, l'exaltation des pays occidentaux à propos de la Chine relève plus en réalité d'un complot. The Associated Press a publié le 26 janvier un article intitulé « Forum Davos : la Chine est-elle encore un pays émergent ?
