XINJIANG-- Under the dark veil of China's economic boom: a big market bubble or a long progressive decay? Foreign investors and entrepreneurs jump at the high sky-rising "power" and everybody else is following. However, china's record economy is nothing but decrease, rampant corruption, and frantic Chinese theater and an elite with little interest to make things better. Forget reform. China's future will be decay or democracy. The only thing rising above sea level is China's speculation of economic growth. In January, The People's Republic's gross domestic product (GDP) exceeded that of Britain and France making China the world fourth largest economy. Many experts forecast that china's economy will be second to the United States by the year 2020 and surpass it by Chinese harvesting rise in the mountains.
2050. As a result of this many business people talk about China's being simultaneously the world's greatest manufacturer and its greatest market. Private equity firms are scouring the middle kingdom for acquisitions. Chinese Internet companies are fetching dot-com-era prices on NASDAQ. Some of the leading financial institutions, including Bank of America,
City Bank, and HSBC, have bet millions on the country's financial future by acquiring minority stakes in China's State-Owned banks, even though many of them are technically insolvent. Every global automobile industry has opened their plant or is planning to build infrastructure, albeit there is a flooded market and plunging profit margins. Why shouldn't they jump at the bandwagon? China's past two decades has proved pessimistic wrong and not optimistic enough. however, before we start making trips to the library looking for Chinese video cassettes and talking to our broker about purchasing newly trendy Chinese stock, lets breath for a minute. Upon detail examination, if we track the past of the Chinese market and what the Communist Party has achieved in its own right, we found ourselves not so marveled at what we find. China's economic performing since 1979 is definitely less impressive that of its East Asian neighbors, such as, Japan, south Korea, and Taiwan, during comparable times of growth. Its banking System which cost Beijing a nearly 30 percent of its annual GDP in bailouts, is saddled with non-performing loans it's the most fragile in Asia. There is a particular comparison with neighboring India that rises above all others. In six major sectors (form autos to telecoms), from 1999 to 2003, Indian companies deliver rates of return in investments that were 80 to 200 percent higher than the Chinese counterparts. Conventional wisdom would suggest that China's reform overlooks countless flaws, that render China's market trajectory misleading, if not right down hazardous. Behind the giant headlines of Chinese rapid growth in the shadows lays thin roots of fundamental frailties in the Chinese Neo-Leninist State. Unlike Maoism, Neo-Leninist practice blends one-party rule and state control of key sectors of the economy with partial market reforms an and end of self-imposed isolation from the world economy. The Maoist States preach egalitarianism and relied on the loyalty of workers and peasants. The Neo-Leninist State practiced elitism, which draws its power from technocrats, the military, and the police and co-opts new social elites (professionals and privet entrepreneurs) and foreign capital-- all vilified under Maoism. And unfortunately this masks of ideals changes form on its own interest when it needs to furthering Beijing's brand of authoritarian politics widening of mix of crony capitalism, rampant corruption, and spread of inequality. The dream that one day China will lose the shackles and drive itself into a liberalization of its economy and stray to political reform remains to be seen until then is doing it at such of small pace as to suggest that the Communist Party has it on the bottom of its agenda.
