China’s stimulus policy means trouble down the road - The Washington Post
Keywords:
The approval of 254 investment projects in China, accelerating investments in infrastructure and construction as part of a second stimulus plan in 2012, folllowing the first stimulus in 2009. The risks are higher this time because of the inflated housing prices in China, the increasing lack of affordability of housing for average families, and the continuation of policies that emphasize infrastructure spending at the expense of consumption and earnings on savings for ordinary families. With that kind of spending has come increased levels of corruption. The glut in the steel industry will grow worse with more spending on steel plants.

The gap between stimulus money infrastructure spending timelines in the U.S. and China and France- 2009-2012
01/22/2009
China moved the fastest, the USA very slowly, with two different political systems and sense of crisis, and infrastructure project speed capabilities. The French also moved quickly. Of $37 billion in spending for infrastructure stimulus, about 75% will be completed in 2009. India is slow but France's experience shows democratic governments or political systems are not necessarily the cause of slow execution.

The economic viability and cost for middle and lower income groups of China's high speed rail network
06/13/2006
The huge infrastructure investments -estimated at $300 billion- planned for China's high speed rail network began with a decision in 2004 and were accelerated with stimulus investments after 2008. The cost is about 555 yuan o($86) for the cheapest ticket on the 300 mile Beijing-Shanghai route or 9% of monthly disposable per capita income for urbanites. This creates questions of affordability and access for the majority of Chinese. Rail revenues will not be sufficient to pay for the investment and operation of the lines.

Off-balance sheet shadow lending by Chinese banks.
01/12/2010
Even after the efforts to restrain lending in 2010 in China following heightened stimulus lending in 2009, the level of bank lending has exceeded 10.5 trillion yuan and is at the same level as 2009. This includes the lending through trusts and other mechanisms according to Fitch Ratings. This explains the inflationary pressures and property bubble.

China's Stimulus plan in 2012-2013 and the problem of "uncoordinated, unbalanced and unsustainable development"
03/06/2012
China's premier Wen Biao told the National People's Congress, China's parliament, in March 2012, that it was urgent to tackel the "problem of uncoordinated, unbalanced, and unsustainable development." He called for "an acceleration of the transformation" of the economic model towards consumption and away from exports and infrastructure spending. The accelerated approval of 254 investment projects in May 2012 puts off this task of rebalancing development for China and the world economy. With slowing growth in China and the last Stimulus of 2008 having propelled the housing bubble, the options were limited. A decrease in the reserve requirement by 0.5% in 2012 for China's banks was not expected to spur growth because lending was not expected to increase, as the demand for loans is low. A sharp falloff in growth below 7% was feared leading to the acceleration in investment.

The acceleration of the 254 investment projects in China in May 2012 will only worsen existing problemsof the housing bubble, glut in steel production, overemphasis on infrastructure spending at the expense of consumption, negligible earnings on savings for ordinary families accompanied with unaffordability of housing, underinvestment in healthcare, creating more imbalances that will need to be addressed in a crisis atmosphere.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
