CHINAS ECONOMIC GROWTH: CAUSESAND PROSPECTS
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVEON CHINAS ECONOMIC MIRACLE
Prior to 1979, China maintained a centrally planned, orcommand, economy.
A large share of the countrys economic output was directed
and controlled by the state, which set production goals,
controlled prices, and allocated resources throughout most ofthe economy.
During the 1950s, Chinas individual household farms were
collectivized into large communes. To support rapid
industrialization. The central government undertook large-scale investments in
physical and human capital during the 1960s and 1970s.

Foreign trade was generally limited to obtaining only thosegoods that could not be made in China.
Although some growth occurred, these policies kept theChinese economy relatively stagnant and inefficient, mainlybecause there were few profit incentive for firms and farmers.
Competition was virtually nonexistent, and price andproduction controls caused widespread distortions in theeconomy.
Chinese living standards were substantially lower than thoseof many other developing countries.
As a result, by 1978 nearly three-fourths of industrial
production was produced by centrally controlled state-ownedenterprises.
Private enterprises and foreign investment were nearlynonexistent. A central goal of the Chinese government was tomake Chinas economy relatively self-sufficient.

WHY IS CHINA GROWING SO FAST?
High Savings and Investment
Foreign Direct Investment(FDI)
Productivity Increment

High savings and Investment generated by SOE. (state owned enterprises).
Chinas trade and investment reforms andincentives led to a surge in foreign directinvestment (FDI) estimated to be at $633 billion in2005.
Increased productivity at 3.4% per annum,accounting for 36% of Chinas growth.
Reallocation of resources to more productive uses,
especially in sectors that were formerly controlled by the
central government, such as agriculture, trade, and
services.

Growing advanced techniques of production(technology).
Economies of scale
International property rights (IPR). i.e. Promotes piracy thus
limited R&D.
Chinas exchange rate policy causes the Yuan to be lessexpensive than it would be if it were floating, it causesChinese exports to the international market to berelatively inexpensive and exports to China to berelatively expensive.

CHINAS COMMERCIAL POLICIES
Inward-Oriented Strategy
China initiated reforms in 1978 to shift to a more openmarket-oriented economy.
The previous inward-oriented centrally-planned strategy hadcaused multiple economic distortions that hampered exportsand private sector activity.
The inward-oriented strategy introduced in the 1950s fosteredimport-substituting industrialization using stringentprotections and state control of resource allocation.
During the Maoist period, private sector firms, includingforeign-owned firms, were gradually taken over and privatesector ownership was completely eliminated in 1958 duringthe Great Leap Forward.
Instead, state-owned enterprises emerged at the forefront ofthe countrys industrialization effort.

OPEN DOOR FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT POLICYAND
OTHER REFORMS The post-1978 reforms marked the start of a gradual and highly coordinated
transition process in the China over the next 3 decades. The initial focus of reforms was to promote exports by attracting FDI. In
1979, an export processing law was passed that provided incentives for the
processing and assembly of imported inputs.
These incentives were expanded in 1987 to provide for the duty-free import
of all raw materials, parts, and components used in export production. Monopoly state trading was liberalized starting in the late 1970s and
replaced with a complex and highly restrictive set of tariffs, non-tariff
barriers, and licenses.
Reform of the complex import control regime was more cautious during the
early transition years, but was strengthened from 1992 onward by extensive
reforms that the china agreed to implement as a part of the WTO accession
process.
Accordingly, a dualistic trade regime existed from the mid-1980s onward
that promoted exports via FDI alongside controlled liberalization of
protected domestic sectors

The growth in Export, especially among domestic enterprises there was the
liberalization of the system of export licensing and quotas. Only 8% of
exports were subject to export licensing and quotas by 1999,compared with
a peak of about 66% in 1991.
The foreign exchange system were initiated starting with unification of dual
exchange rates .
As a significant incentive for exporting, exporters were allowed to retain a
share of their foreign exchange earnings, which enabled them to finance
imports without needing to seek official permission.
Over time, the state also devalued the domestic currency and in 1997 moved
toward currency convertibility on current account transactions, making iteven easier for exporters to obtain foreign currency.
In 2005, the China moved more systematically towards a
managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand
with reference to a basket of currencies.

COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGETHEORY:
Cheap educated labour.
Large amount of Manufacturing Units providingemployment to labours.
Developed Nations have set up their manufacturingunits since the cost of production and labour rate isless in China.
