asdf32 posted:Yeah bubbles and crisis are obviously part of the process with capitalism and I agree that history suggests China should hit one soon. The BBC documentary is pretty good, basically the main way China coped with the 2009 recession was taking the credit bubble and state controlled economy to a extreme level. Doing things such as building massive mass transit projects or skyscrapers in half the normal time compared to the west just to avoid angry unemployed workers.

Accretionist posted:I'm unfamiliar with rail infrastructure. Should I interpret expanded high-speed rail capacity/networks as implying increased shipping capacity, too? Could I interpret this as reflecting increasing economic integration across central Asia? It's more because China is doing insane amount of infrastructure upgrade to avoid a mass of angry workers.

blueyedevil posted:The price is slightly higher than what China pays for -stan gas but lower than what Russia receives from Europe. Russia was trying to push this deal through as fast as possible because the Kremlin was probably getting a bit nervous about the future relationship with the EU. Yeah given their dependence on energy exports it made sense to hedge their bets against future troubles with the EU/USA over Ukraine.

Daduzi posted:Good article, matches up with what I've been hearing but add some details. Not too sure about the note of optimism at the end: "the Chinese invested heavily in infrastructure and education, particularly scientific education. This strategy provided a platform for rapid growth which, once China gets through its current problems, could well prove more durable than the Conference Board report acknowledges". I currently work with 13 Chinese universities and have taught professors from another 20 more and I have to say that if the hope is that scientific education and research will be the key to China's future growth then China's in deep poo poo. China also used Keynesian spending on steroids as a way to avoid the 2009 recession and continue its rapid GNP growth. Of course bubbles never last forever.

-Zydeco- posted:I have no idea how stock markets work. Whats the deal with pensioners? Is the Chinese government using some sort of federal retirement fund to buy worthless Chinese stocks to try and make it look like the market is staying steady? The law got changed to allow Chinese pensions to invest in risky local investments like derivatives or A class stocks. Government is hoping a flood of pension money will help revive the market.

Daduzi posted:I'm sure that foreign banks are the ones selling all the A shares. A shares are domestic shares that are locked out from foreign investors, while H shares are shares traded in the Hong Kong stock market for the same company that can be bought by foreign investors. Lots of big brokerages such as Vanguard are planning to add A share exposure for emerging market funds next years.

Well the initial response back in July was to prevent large numbers of people from selling their A class shares for a few months. Now the people with frozen accounts will be able to trade again, most likely dumping their stocks.
