We in the US certainly went through this before. Hopefully, you lose your worst, oldest and most inefficient factories and when things pick back up, you replace them with the state of the art. And LOL at All Days.

There is a big difference between "China's output has fallen to a seven year low" and China's output growth has fallen to a seven year low. You meant the latter. "... and China's greatest challenge now will be to tackle the growing social divide." Greatest is a strong word. Sure you want to go that far? And when did your local All Days become a trusted economic indicator?

oh well, I guess all those people who have been critizing all the factories for having too low standards for their workers, are feeling great. Now when the factories are closing down, those workers have nowhere to go, instead they might become prostitutes or something else...GREAT isn't it!? that's what you wanted right?
