a red dragon the global enoy
any chese believe that for cha to be strong its trade aount t not be the red it t have a trade surps to grow prospero if we look back at 5000 years of chese history, it would be surprisg that the ti cha’s trade was the red was al jt when the ‘iddle kgdo’ was at its peak durg that dynasty
for exaple, durg han dynasty, cha ran a trade deficit for centuries with neighborg untries, and it was al the ti cha beca the center of the asia another obvio exaple is the tang and ng dynasty (fro 7th century to 11th century), when cha was aga a trade deficit with nearly all its neighbors cha was then experiencg shortas of gold, silver or even bronze, but none of this had blocked the red dragon fro beg the stronst nation at that ti b
ut at the end of ng dynasty, jt decades before the chese were vaded and defeated by ongolians, cha beca the a exply ncde this as cidence
recent history tells the sa story the end of 19th century was a nightare for the ancient nation any bd the trade deficit that resulted fro opiu trade as the pgue which caed the weakness of cha’s enoy the te qg dynasty however, if we put opiu trade aside, cha was still a r ex the outside world at as a way to pay for their trade deficit with cha earlier, the iddle of the 18th century, cha uld produce enough opiu for dostic arket and al bee an exal defition, but it paign, it’s trade on turned to red aga, but this happened durg the st struggle of qg dynasty its dyg years
after its openg-up 1978, cha was the red aga for eleven years, with the exception of 1983 the governnt is iplentg of a strategy of stiutg ex cha’s openg-up it is a reanable unis enoy which is ck of an efficient fiancé syste and a iu-reired foreign currency reserve
sce 1990, cha has been chalkg up trade surps with the exception of 1993 2004, the trade surps of cha aounts to $70 billion, of which $586 billion fro so- trade with its expanic rapid growth ntues for decades at the sa ti, chese factories are fao for dupg cheap goods fro advantas of its low-st bors and ent standard after all, cha is developg, uch faster than eu, , japan or any other ajor power of
the world there is no doubt that cha is regag its strength and will be a ajor enoic y? even for a untry of 12 billion eters, there is no unliited supply of cheap bor or unliited tolerance of environnt and of the 12 billion arket a fast-grog enoy uld be the y huan history of chese key officials and schors has turned to pro-deficit attitude on this debate and ore and ore people realize that cha has no resg chese panies have shown their appetites for raw aterials on the global arket, the extravagance of chese wealthy faily cities has given hopes to global anufacturers
ost of the pressure to grow is fro cha’s trade partners, especially and japan a strong d callg for the revaation of rb has been blog sce the begng of 2003, and even criticize cha as an exe ti, hu aounts of hot oney flow to cha despite capital ntrols that strictly liit oney flows to this untry chese officials have openly refed to revaate rb under pressure and even say that its a nspiracy to sacrifice cha’s enoy without brgg benefits to the global enoy but those strong words agast the revaation of rb were ore or less for ternal ent then began to boost the istically, there are ore and ore criticiss agast the stiutg-exbursent bursent to exent the governnt has paid 125 billion r
b and 115 billion rb for tax reibursent this appropriation was far fro the aount curred every year and up to the end of 2003, the tax reibursent arrears reached to 340 billion rb ($4106 billion) the profit arg rates of any exbursent rate as the default of paynt auuted year-by-year, exent of tax reibursent arrears
cha should not be afraid to bee red trade, like it has durg any periods of greatness if the dragon bees be red for years or even decades, the ost foreseeable nseence is that rb will be an ternational currency to supacroenoic environnt, an efficient arket chanis and a healthy bankg syste’ as chese preier wen jiabao ntioned as the prenb it is easy to say what’s good but it is s and lve the when the growth is still enough to sta the syste, who will be brave enough to cut the ss behd the rise? cha should not be afraid to bee red aga
