For a growth-starved U.S. economy, the transformation of its codependent partner could well be a fork in the road. One path is quite risky: If America remains stuck in its under-saving ways but finds itself without Chinese goods and capital, it will suffer higher inflation, rising interest rates, and a weaker dollar. The other path holds great opportunity: America can adopt a new growth strategy – moving away from excess consumption toward a model based on saving and investing in people, infrastructure, and capacity. In doing so, the U.S. could draw support from exports, especially to a rebalanced China – currently its third-largest and fastest-growing major export market.
Compared with other emerging economies, China is cut from a different cloth. China emerged from the late-1990s Asian financial crisis as the region’s most resilient economy, and I suspect the same will be true this time. Differentiation matters – for China, Asia, and the rest of the global economy.
