China economic policy

Now is Beijing’s chance to keep short-term economic issues from turning into a long-term slowdown, experts say. But it’s not clear what steps the government is willing to take.

The country's economic model depends on the world absorbing its surplus production. As protectionism grows elsewhere, Europe is increasingly exposed to these dumping practices.

Latin America – dependent on commodity exports and with few other options for finance – will likely be among the regions most harmed by a protracted downturn in China’s economy.
