replies: text: Yeah, the Chinese government just discovered that it's economy is 17% larger than previously thought(due to undereporting in the service sector).  It seems that the 2004 GDP was actually $2.0 trillion rather than $1.65 trillion.--Todd Kloos 11:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I realize that only GDP PPP is shown on the CIA factbook, but is there an actual GDP value somewhere?  I've always thought PPP was a fairly flaky metric...  I think normal GDP (ie non adjusted) should be included in the overview template. TastyCakes 16:39, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I think a section on the tourism industry in China would be great.--Sir Edgar 02:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There's actually an article on tourism in China, but its geographical frame is pretty uncertain. You may already know there have been consistent disagreements over these matters. — Instantnood 19:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I think some people overestimate the importance of GDP. The rapid growth of GDP does not necessarily means the increase of wealth, and it may be triggered by many factors like overinvestment. For now PRC has provided "very nice labor", and it will always provide the same in the future, which sadly the government is very proud of. -observer
* Please stick to editing grammar, and leave the economics to us or expert sources.  Overinvestment cannot possibly influence Chinese GDP growth to the level we have seen today. 128.135.96.15 19:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  GDP= wealth? 

message: I'll wait for consensus on this, but I think that we should list the trading agreements/blocs that China is party to or a member of.
Given that arguably FTAs and trading blocs aren't Trade Organisations, anyone got any ideas on where to put this info?

Either NationMaster has stolen it from Wiki, or Wiki has stolen it from Nationmaster. I'm adding it to the references section for now; if NationMaster stole it without reference, then I have no clue who's supposed to be adressing that.

message: The previous figure wasn't appropriate, as it didn't include rural unemployment. I used the 20% figure that was mentioned in the 2004 official Chinese journal. Also added public debt figure. John Smith's 14:45, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I couldn't see much discussion of the reasons behind the inflation rates recorded over the last 10 or 15 years. In the early to mid 1990s, inflation was over 15% and real GDP growth at over 10%. Yet, in the last five years, inflation is apparently negligible (around 0) and real GDP growth at around 8%. Is it only this relatively lower GDP growth rate that has led to MUCH lower inflation or are there other factors involved? Perhaps, has there been increased investment to increase the economy's capacity thus reducing demand-push on prices? ANy explanation here, or better, in the article would be appreciated. regards --Merbabu 15:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Any comments about the recent book by Will Hutton, The Writing Is on the Wall, regarding his contention that the present party-controlled economy threatens economic stability and suppresses democratic reforms , and the counter by Meghnad Desai? . This would see to deserve mention, or at least a link, in this article. Not being a regular contributor to this article, I defer to the established group of editors here for guidance. - Ryanjo 15:01, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't read the book myself, however I don't really think they are relevant enough for this page though.  Look at it this way, which section would should this go under?  Criticism?  If you want, I think a page about the book itself would be good.  Anyone agree/disagree?  Yongke 21:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
