China Is Entering A 'Danger Zone' [Charts]

By Mamta Badkar
Business Insider
Tuesday, August 21, 2012

Even as China promises to maintain a "firm grip" on real
estate, many are still concerned about a property bubble
and hard-landing, in terms of a slowdown and financial
crisis.

At a speech delivered in Sydney, Kiyohiko G. Nishimura,
deputy governor of the Bank of Japan said China is now
"entering the danger zone" that could lead to a financial
crisis.

Looking back at Japan's experience in the 1990s, and the
American experience in the 2000s, that triggered "malign"
as opposed to benign bubbles and led to financial crises,
Nishimura says: "it is clear that not every bubble-bust
episode leads to a financial crisis.  However, if a
demographic change, a property price bubble, and a steep
increase in loans coincide, then a financial crisis seems
more likely.  And China is now entering the "danger
zone."

The first chart looks at what happened when the working-
age population ratio, real land price, and loans peaked
at the same time in Japan:

China may indeed be in deep doo-doo ... and a huge real-estate
bubble is only one of its problems. China has invested VAST
amounts of money building industrial infrastructure over the
past five years or so - while, at the same time, destroying the
financial security of the countries/people those factories were
planning to sell to. China also got millions of young people to
move from the hinterlands to the big cities and led them to
believe there would be lots of work, rapidly improving pay and
a wonderful new standard of living awaiting them.

SO ... the reality ... those investments and loans are NOT going
to pay off in any timely fashion, the millions and millions of
young people are going to be TRAPPED in the cities without much
work or money or prospects thereof AND anyone counting on real-
estate investments are going to be VERY disappointed.

IMHO, there's a very real chance of some kind of revolution
in China within the next few years. When Japan did pretty
much the same things - and lost big-time - well, they're
Japanese ... they just went home and sulked (and STILL are).

But Chinese are not Japanese, I think they'll get ANGRY
and VIOLENT instead. The govt will attempt a crackdown -
thus totally de-legitimizing itself - but it will be in a
poor position to do so because the money situation will
be so bad.

Whether we're talking a major revolution or just some
considerable purging of the existing power structure,
I just don't know. However from the escalating lies
the govt is telling and the escalating crackdowns on
dissent, communications and even religion ... I'd say
the present govt knows that BIG trouble is on the
horizon.

At least Japan had a decent social-welfare safety net.
China has been growing so fast it hasn't bothered to
create any such safety features either for the citizens
or for the industries and banks. If (when) a real money-
crunch strikes it will have rapid and severe impact -
further increasing the liklihood of a coup or revolution.

For 60 years, the Western Powers have been predicting a downfall/
Jasmine Revolution for China. This year, they still have a 7.6%
growth while Greece, Spain, Italy,... are going bankrupt, and the U.S.
is in debt for 15 trillion dollars. It's all wishful thinking.

the statistics coming out of the chinese communist party, are dubious
at best. i bet there might be a little growth, but not enough to break
even. far lower than you quote. europe can turn around on a dime, they
just need to dump the conservatives.
the u.s. owes lots of money, but a good chunk of it we owe to
ourselves. we to can dump the conservatives and grow. like europe, we
have better paid workers who can consume, china does not.

all well said. china has been a mirage. its not a economic super
power, and i laugh every time i hear someone from the conservative
legacy media, describe china as the second largest economy in the
world. the chinese economy is built on the demand of the western
worker. the western workers wages have been destroyed by the chinese
communist party, and lots of willing parasites and supporters of the
chinese communist party, in the boardrooms of western corporations.
china barely has the capability to consume about 1/3rd of what they
make. in the west, its well over 2/3rds. so i have been waiting for
the inevitable slowdown, and its going to hit them hard. no safety net
means lots of hungry bellies. as usual, milton friedman was wrong.

And their pet banks and politicians. Hell, last I heard,
the govt perks for offshoring are still in place.

China HAS made a LOT of money ... but, as you said,
it hasn't been used to create a strong, safe, economic
foundation for the country. They are desperately at
the mercy of their exports - and have built in a way
that absolutely *depends* on high or increasing
export sales.

But now that they've destroyed too many western
businesses, well, there went the customer base.
Exports are rapidly decreasing and growth will
likely soon cease alltogether. I don't think they
can survive even a no-growth situation, much less
any decline below previous peaks. Their building
frenzy left them with no *reserves* to speak of,
no Plan-B, no safety nets, no silverware to
pawn - just bills coming due.

They also foolishly lent terabucks to the US and
others to keep their badly-managed faux-economies
afloat. If they'd required sensible reforms as a
condition that would have been something else, but
they didn't. As is, they're basically giving us money
to buy their products ... which can be made to look
good on paper for awhile - but not for long. It's a
losing game.

I think at least SOME of the offshoring was 'collateral'
for the loans, in disguise. Alas all that really did
was put even MORE of their customers on the soup line.

Combine the usual human failings of greed, shortsightedness
and blind zeal with an inexperience with modern capitalism.
What you get is an extinction-level economic apocalypse in
the making.

Unfortunately this one involves over a billion people,
a large military with nukes and ambitious generals and
lots of other peoples investments. Look at how much
damage tiny little Greece did when IT went broke and
took all those investments down with it. Almost every
manufacturing and tech biz in the world now relies on
Chinese workers and factories for part of all of their
products... so what happens if those suddenly cease
to exist ? What happens to the western faux-economies
if China can't lend 'em any more money ?

Seems as if the world built its fiscal metropolis right
on top of a major fiscal fault zone ... and the little
tremors are getting larger and more frequent ....

For all intents and purposes, that ended about the
time the Gang Of Five got theirs. Since then, it's
been a new and slowly westernizing China. Critical
mass was achieved on the late 80s. As Japan declined
China assumed their role and then set out to pretty
much own the world.

Not realizing they'd be purchasing a slum.


> This year, they still have a 7.6% growth


CAREFUL with those govt figures .... SO easy
to cook the books, SO easy to re-arrange
categories and change definitions, SO easy
to create the illusion of success even as
the foundations crumble beneath everyones
feet. Western govts are experts a this, and
apparently China has copied them.

In short, I think your 'growth' is a manufactured
lie and that even 7.6% wouldn't be ENOUGH growth
to pay off all the capital investments that have
been made over the past several years. You've
put vast fortunes into building factories that
will never sell enough products to even pay
the electricity bill for keeping the lights on -
and that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

The claim on China entering a danger is not supported by the charts.
The Japanese and the US chart show rapid decline in property price as
well as credit expansion. Such declines allow one to conclude the
housing bubble in Japan and in the US had burst. The Chinese chart,
however, does not show similar declines.

Yes. You want "cheap good usable stuff". China provided them for
you.

Come on, face reality. Western workers wages were destroyed by self-
greed. You want more of everything, more money, more benefits, more
time-off for enjoyment, more say in running of the company, bigger
offices,...

No, lots of company CEOs wanted more money, more company stocks,
more...

They make stuffs to satisfy your needs, your demands, your wants,...
Aren't they great? catering to your every need, desires,...?

People everywhere needs the stuffs. If you won't buy them, they will
sell them to people in Africa, in South America, in the Middle
East,...

> as usual, milton friedman was wrong.

Now, this is where I totally disagree with you. Before the 1980s,
China had no or little manufacturing capabilities at all, no
capabilities to design, develop, test and manufacture fighter planes.
Today, China has a fleet of home-made fighter planes, modern navy,
submarines, missiles, ICBM,...

For the last 30 years, China has claimed out of a mud-pit the Western
Powers dug for China. China has the trained personnel, the
technological capabilities to compete with the best in the world.

Today, China will not go away. China IS a force to reckon with.

China still has a lot of infrastructures needed to sustain a modern
economy. This itself will keep China busy for a decade.

Will China's economy will go up and down? Of course it will.
This is why one has to look the long term. Niall Ferguson gets it
right. China is a nation gaining ground.

its not western wishful thinking. many parasites in the west, live
off of communist slave and sweatshop labor, plus many parasites in the
west, live off of the commodity consumption of china. so many western
parasites hope the feast will last for ever. but have you ever known a
mosquito or wood tick that knows when to stop gorging itself? none
that i know of, and they gorge themselves till death.
these same parasites, coupled with the chinese communist party, have
destroyed the wages of the western worker. its why the west is in such
dire straights. and parasites either do not know, or care till the
feast ends abruptly.
you simply cannot understand that the consumption of goods and
services is wage driven. its why china has such pitiful internal
demand, and why demand is falling in the west. keynes proved it
decades ago. no conservative has ever refuted it, or found a way
around it.
you are simply going down that same road. you will either find out,
or you will melt into chaos.

spoken out of pure ignorance. the reason why you were able to export
trillions of dollars of cheap stuff to the west, is because of what
you just disparaged. you do know that parasites eventually despise
their hosts don't you?
if you want a civil society, with strong internal demand, you will no

nope. you are speaking as a parasite, hoping to entice a host. build
your country from within, drop the freidman globalist crap. create
your own strong internal demand. you will soar. and when you soar, you

look inwards. what you need to understand is, internal demand is wage
driven. no matter how many countries you deluge with cheap stuff, in
the end, demand for goods and services is wage driven. destroy the
wages of the host country, you will find yourself in the same
situation. drop the friedman globalist crap, build your own strong
internal demand. create a strong social safety net, and consumption
will soar.

Krugman and his like stomped not just the Austrian school of economics
but all common people. According to Krugman, all those who refuse to
spend and create the liquidity trap are just morons. Are they?

In reality, we don't really know whether the recession has totally
cleansed the system. If it did, we are then at the bottom of the
cycle. And Krugman will be correct. If not, the common people who
refuse to spend and the Austrian school are correct to be cautious? I
cannot tell the future and I certainly cannot call the top nor the
bottom of the economic cycle with any kind of certainty.. Can you? Can
Krugman?

But the workers are also paid for their works. Otherwise, who would

A lot of Chinese have been brought into the middle-class. Just look
at all the cars in China today. Traffics in China are just as bad as

Excerpt:

The government is keeping zombie companies on life
support

As the Chinese economy slows, the weakest businesses are
struggling to keep their doors open. When they fail to
repay the loans they have taken out from the Chinese
banking system, the companies should go bankrupt and the
banks should have to write off the loans and take a loss.

Wu explains that the Chinese government is not allowing
this process – the flushing out of bad debts – to occur.
Instead, it has forced banks to continue lending money to
failed businesses far past the point where they
demonstrate any ability to repay the debts.

In other words, Chinese banks, at the behest of the
government, are pumping money into dying companies with
"no commercial viability," according to Wu.

You don't understand ... lots and lots of factories and such
do NOT make for a strong nation. Strength lies is *resalence*
more than mere profit potential. Every yaun China has was
spent, and then some, on just building more factories and
infrastructure. There's no real reserve fund to cope with
the proverbial rainy day. By comparison, the USA stashed-
away quite a lot. We've funded things like the FDIC and
unemployment fund. When things turned negative we had a
good reserve to get us through it (MAY not have been enough
but at least we TRIED).

Yes, and I have said it many many time. China's worst enemy is the

Come on, stupid idiot, admit it. No one forces you to buy their
products. You bought them because the products are good values for
the price.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you like it. Otherwise, you wouldn't buy them.
Walmart would go out of business. Instead, Walmart gets bigger and

It seems to me the reverse is true. The U.S. is too arrogant to
realize the Afghans are beating the shit out of us. And, like an
idiot we are, we let them kill us one by one with the weapons we give
them. We won't get out of Afghanistan until the casualties are sky
high.

It's a 5,000 year habit which has become part of life until a little
minor incident happened which exploded on their face. Then it's the
end for them.

> the rest got little or nothing.

I think about 600 - 800 million Chinese got quite a bit. There are
millions of automobiles in China. Millions of Chinese are traveling
overseas to foreign countries for vacations, and sending their sons
and daughters to foreign universities.

Hey!!! be thankful. Thousands of people got jobs working for
Walmart. Instead of repairing old stuffs, it's buy, use and throw

What did you call George Worthless Bush if he wasn't a dictator?
He wanted a war with Iraq. He got a war with Iraq.

China is NOT a dictatorship. No Chinese leader can serve longer than
10 years in office.

Especially since China's goals (short term and long term) aren't a carbon copy repeat of western goals. Those unoccupied cities are for future population migration from the farms into the cities as mechanization and automation of farm work frees labor to move to those cities. Chinese leaders plan for the future.

Sometimes non-democratic systems work. Why? Because intelligence is the necessary criteria to advance in the political power system. Here in America, a rather intelligent person (Obama) is barely ahead of a nominee who's clearly no smarter than Bush 1/2.

Romney's position as Bain Capital's CEO was merely as a "front" for the far smarter Bain members. Yes, he was paid well. He was paid for his father's reputation.

Don't be stupid. China is using western consumers to pay for its infrastructure building projects. Once the west is penniless, the infrastructure will be able to support and provide goods and services to the remaining 1 billion poor Chinese. Only China will have the cash to buy the raw materials from foreign sources. And it will be a buyer's market for those raw materials.

B1ackwater is just frantically trying to defend or at least obscure the conservative/looneytunarian business decisions that send American jobs and critical technology to China.

I haven't been able to complete a post and I don't know if partials are appearing.

But.....I find it funny how you're using liberal ideas like the FDIC and unemployment fund as positives here.

Regarding the factories you referred to above...China has 300 million person middle class but a population of 1,300 million. Ya see, those factories will be needed to provide goods and services to the "other" 1 billion lower class Chinese after America and the west spend themselves into third world poverty.

No need to fight a war if your enemy happily spends itself into irrelevancy buying things from you and enabling you to build the infrastructure needed to support your 1.3+ billion population.

Hell, I live on less than $5.00 a day in the U.S.

It depends on the company/government policy where he worked. A man
had carbon dioxide poisoning survived but disabled, is currently
receiving lifetime disability pay.
