Potential problems with China＇s rapid economic growth are largely being presented as internal and external economic imbalances. The external imbalance has been significantly eased. With the RMB＇s appreciation and the rise of labour costs, China＇s current account surplus has been less than 3 percent of GDP for three years in a row. But no significant improvement has yet to be seen in the internal imbalance. For instance, manufacturing is still plagued by excess capacity, and many Chinese people are facing great inconvenience in their lives in such areas as education and health care. The take-off of the service sector will encourage the Chinese economy to change from an investment-and export-driven model to a consumption-driven one.展开更多
