Abstract
“Why do views on China’s economy differ so much?”  One is as likely to read about China dominating the global economy as about its sinking under looming debt, property and equity market bubbles. Analytically, many believe that China’s growth process is unbalanced and its trade surpluses are seen as driving trade deficits with the US. There are increasing concerns about China’s technological strengths and that western companies are investing too much in China at the cost of jobs back home.  Many worry that rampant corruption will hamper China’s growth prospects.  Yet many of these perceptions are misleading or wrong.
