Improbable China
China largely escaped the ruin that came over Western financial institutions last fall. But it could not avoid the economic effects of the debacle. The Chinese government has attempted to sustain its economy by spending more than $900 billion of its own and state bank’s funds to support its $4.3 trillion economy until the global trade system recovers and demand for goods once again flows to Chinese factories.

Chinese economic growth since the crash of last September has never approached the standard recession definition of two consecutive quarters of negative GDP. Third quarter growth as recorded by the government was 8.9%. It was 7.9% in the second and 6.1% in the first.

These figures are deceptive twice over. China’s population of 1.33 billion is still growing though only 0.65% a year and the government estimates that 8.0% GDP expansion is necessary just to give each year’s new workers employment

The government obsession with maintaining or increasing employment represents the peculiarities of the Chinese economy and the political and social necessities of governing China. The overriding goal of the government is to provide jobs and consequently enough wealth to obviate political disenchantment and dissent.

What are the realities of China's spectacular recovery? Are the the GDP figures supported by secondary statistics? what might doubts mean for the world economy?
