China's challenges: where is China's economy going?

“What will China’s and India’s increasing consumption of the world’s natural resources mean for them? Is their appetite for energy sustainable? And if it’s not, what are the consequences for the amount of fuel left over for the rest of us? China and India are the locomotives of global economic growth. If they stall, how will that affect economies that have spent a decade riding on their coattails?”

The end of growth

 Jeff Rubin

A economia chinesa após três décadas de crescimento perde ímpeto e decide pelo mercado mundial de mercadorias de produtos primários. O crescimento médio anual da economia chinesa foi desde a década de 1980 até 2012 de 9,9 por cento, tendo no primeiro semestre deste ano, caído para 7,64 por cento.

“The financial crisis has graphically illustrated the disparity between an East Asia cash-rich from decades of surpluses and a United States cash-poor following many years of deficits.”

Os líderes de doze países da região Ásia-Pacífico iniciaram uma reunião para negociarem à margem da “Cimeira do Fórum de Cooperação Económica da Ásia e do Pacífico” (APEC, na sigla inglesa) que se realizou na ilha de Bali, entre 7 e 9 de Outubro.

China rising: Will new leadership bring about change?

“The relationship between the United States and People’s Republic of China has rightly been described by officials and experts in both countries as the most important relationship in world affairs. It is also the most complex one. These two titans are tangled together in innumerable ways - strategically, diplomatically, economically, socially, culturally, environmentally, regionally, internationally, educationally, and in many other domains. The two nations are the principal powers in the Asia-Pacific region and globally.”

Tangled Titans: The United States and China

David Shambaugh

A "ascensão” da China é um termo muito usado, conhecido, e presentemente nenhuma dúvida parece existir sobre as significativas mudanças causadas pela entrada da China no  cenário mundial. As alterações produzidas de forma dramática vão desde os modelos de comércio até ao crescimento dos desequilíbrios financeiros globais.

GLOBALIZAÇÃO E SEUS EFEITOS NO MERCADO DE TRABALHO

“The view in the East is that the onset of the world economic crisis has suddenly reversed globalization. Hundreds of thousands of Poles, Bulgarians, and Romanians had found relatively well-paid jobs in Western EU countries, but now an army of migrant workers is making its way back home to the East. The IMF and the World Bank are supporting fiscal stimulus-expansionary fiscal policies-in the United States, Europe, and Asia. They are supporting rescue plans, including nationalization of private banks and other financial institutions. The priority of the day is no longer inflation but jobs and economic recovery.”

The Global Financial Crisis

Noah Berlatsky

É enorme a preocupação quanto ao impacto negativo da famosa concorrência com os países de salários baixos sobre o emprego nos países ocidentais. A polémica segue o diagnóstico implícito ou explícito, segundo o qual existe desemprego por causa da concorrência de países onde as taxas de salários são mais baixas, desqualificando desse modo os trabalhadores dos países ocidentais que perdem assim, qualquer competitividade.
