COMMENTARY

  • Addressing global imbalances

  • It is the trade imbalances that are of most immediate importance because they greatly affect the day-to-day internal politics of trading partners.

REVIEW

  • China in labor

  • A few difficulties in Guangdong may spell a relocation of low-end manufacturing out of the province, but talk of a Chinese 'labor shortage' is far-fetched.

  • G is for reform

  • A new class of shares is at last providing a measure of progress in the necessary stock market reforms.

  • A cautious eye to the future

  • Investors will only spend big on China stocks if they can hedge their risk - but the regulators are determined not to make the same mistake twice when it comes to futures

  • Renminbi fever

  • Beijing appears ready defy demands for a market-driven forex regime. But is there any truth to claims that China's yuan is greatly undervalued? Doctors differ.
