The relatively small effects of slowing growth in China on the U.S. economy in 2015, and some positive factors

09/08/2015

WIth only 1% of U.S. GDP related to U.S. exports to China, and Chinese direct foreign investment in the U.S. being less than 1% of all foreign investment in the U.S., China's slowdown is not likely to affect the U.S., according to Easwar Prasad, former IMF expert on China. Positive factors are the slower growth in prices of manufactured products imported from China, the lower prices of commodities such as oil, copper and other metals for an extended period, and bigger markets in China for U.S. service industries, internet and entertainment as Chinese consumer spending plays a larger role in China's GDP.

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.
