The following group of articles from Xinhua are about the impact of the US economic crisis on China. <\/p>\n
From Xinhua, via China Daily<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n American economists are forecasting that U.S economy, which contracted 0.3 percent in the third quarter, will shrink by more than 2.5 percent in the October-December period.<\/p>\n The belt-tightening of American consumers, who lowered their spending in the last few months, unnerved by a worsening financial meltdown and a gloomier economic outlook, is to have very negative repercussions for the Chinese economy, which has been relying on export shipments to the United States, Europe and elsewhere to gain momentum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As recession is hitting, global wealth measured as household financial assets is expected to shrink 14 percent from last year’s 109 trillion U.S. dollars to 97 trillion U.S. dollars this year, reversing a six-year-long upward trend.<\/p>\n Emerging markets and China in particular are likely to represent the strongest potential for continued growth in wealth, according to the latest Global Wealth Report 2008 of the Boston Consulting Group (BCG).<\/p>\n North America — epicenter of the financial crisis — and Europe would remain the wealthiest regions but the size of their aggregate wealth, about two-thirds of the world’s total in 2007, was expected to continue dipping in the next five years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
