Main idea: Chinese economy may be walking into a middle-income trap after the steady high-speed growth these years.
Attitude: Positive(+)
Structure:
>>>roblem: China has reached the middle-income situation where booming developing countries tend to be trapped for quite a few years without the previous rapid growth. Many scholars and politicians, including the pre-prime minister Wen Jiabao, have expressed their concerns about the future growth of Chinese economy.
>>>Explanation A: China will go through this trap without a plan, because it takes time for a middle-income stage country to advance to a real developed country. And more analysis&theories with detailed info.
>>>Explanation B: China will escape from this trap which proves to be true for other similar Asia countries since Chinese economy is different from Japan and north Korea and the fact that China is about to welcome the leadership changes and policy modifications, etc.
>>>Conclusion: The author was not convinced by the second explanation for its supporting evidence is thin. The real and only right way to fix this is to alter the growth model completely into the advanced way, if the new leadership has the intention to do so in the first place.
