China´s economic success should be seen more as an opportunity than a threat

But most of the economic fears that China arouses – that it will drive everybody else out of business, that it will always be super-competitive in everything, that it will cause mass unemployment – are plain wrong. They ignore all the benefits of China´s growth. They also ignore elementary economics.

The world has been here before....

China´s contribution to world demand is vital ...

(The Economist, editorial, 15-21 February 2003)

A billion blessings

Millions of consumers in other countries are gaining from the low prices and high quality of Chinese goods.

A billion Chinese are escaping the dire poverty of the past.Business across the globe will profit from supplying a vast new market.These are wonders to be celebrated, not threats to be agonised over.

(The Economist, editorial, 15-21 February 2003)
