| 8 Ways China is Exporting Inflation Posted: 08 Oct 2010 08:52 AM PDT
China is experiencing inflation. Seeings as China is the world's factory, why shouldn't the middle kingdom export this impact on other country economies as well? Last year China's consumer price index (CPI) was over 6%. The CPI was in the 4% range in 2006. America's CPI was 4.1% last year compared to 2.5% in 2006. China is exporting inflation. I America can expect price increases of as much as 10% on some goods: 1. toys, if they can get them to pass the safety standards. 80% of toys bought in the U.S. are made in China. 2. clothing – 40% from China 3. footwear – 85% from China.
These price increases in the U.S., are just in time for a possible recession, too. Thanks China! Or is the recession causing China to need to raise prices? II When China's prices are low, other markets are forced to keep their prices low as well – think Viet Nam, Malaysia and so on. When China's prices are up, those factories can raise their prices as well. III Factory wages have risen 80% in many coastal areas in China. Most of China's factories are on the coast. Higher labor costs, labor shortages = higher prices. IV Beijing wants to move China up the global manufacturing chain. Forget the least-finished products, toys and think advanced exports like electronics and autos. V Plastic prices are up 30% because of higher oil and petro costs. VI Tough new labor laws makes hiring and firing more difficult. Think labor unions. VII The dollar is down about 7.6%. The weaker the dollar the more expensive Chinese goods become. VIII Factories are asking for 20-50% price increases on 2009 orders. The solutions? China can move its factories inland. China can outsource to even cheaper countries. In the meantime, we can expect things 'Made in China' to cost more.       |

India won the heart-stopping, nail-biting, nerve-wracking thriller 1st test at Mohali, but Australia have to make a considerably greater effort to pick themselves up after such a shattering loss. The weather is going to be a crucial factor at Bangalore, considering that its been raining in Bangalore. Sachin Tendulkar needs 27 runs to take his world-record tally to 14,000. Watch live scores Watch the Highlights of the 1st Test The teams are as follows India (probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 M Vijay, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 VVS Laxman, 6 Suresh Raina, 7 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 8 Harbhajan Singh , 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Sreesanth, 11 Pragyan Ojha. Australia (probable): 1 Shane Watson, 2 Simon Katich, 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Michael Clarke, 5 Michael Hussey, 6 Marcus North, 7 Tim Paine (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Nathan Hauritz, 10 Ben Hilfenhaus, 11 Doug Bollinger/Peter George. “The pitch will be sporting, but it will help the batsmen more,” the curator Narayan Raju said, before adding that the rainy weather might play a part. “Owing to recent rains, there is a lot of moisture in the pitch, and because of the overcast conditions, the moisture hasn’t dried out. If the conditions remain the same, it could help the bowlers on the first day.”     |

Is Africa the next China? the next India? It may be a while but economic growth will come to Africa in due time. And when it does, Africa will remember who its friends were. China has made a decision to donate $8 million to the World Health Organization (WHO) to help with African countries health causes. Three goals are in mind according to the Chinese Health Minister: 1. improving disease surveillance network 2. enhancing Africa's capability for disease control 3. making better the public health emergency response. The announcement was made at the WHO's 60th annual assembly in Geneva this week. I don't know if that is a lot of money or not considering the boom going on in China…but I do know that it's better than nothing. Investing in Africa now will pay huge dividends down the road…a very long road maybe. But, China has never been in a hurry. When do you think Africa will be ripe for economic growth?     |
